Chapter 4 Seizing Power

"Your mother-in-law has been in bed for many years, but she didn't come today. Concubine Yun takes care of all the affairs in the house. She can bear this cup of tea." Concubine Yun had a tough attitude.

"But this is against the rules." Gu Mingshu didn't seem to understand.

"I'm the one who rules here!" Concubine Yun, with veins jumping on her forehead, yelled, "Respect!"

When the old lady looked solemn, she had a heavy pressure from the deep palace, and even Qin Yue would avoid her sharpness when he saw her.

However, Gu Mingshu did not intend to comply. She took a step back holding the tea cup, "My granddaughter-in-law does not dare."

"I think you are quite brave." Concubine Yun was furious, "You can even disobey your elders!"

Gu Mingshu's spine was straight and straight, and he spoke even more loudly: "Although Mingshu comes from a family of military commanders, she has also read a few books. She knows that in a family with bells and dishes, a family with poems, books and hairpins, only by being cautious and observing etiquette can it last a long time. Today.

If my tea does not respect my aunt and my concubine first, it will be a small matter for me to be ridiculed by others when word spreads, but it will be a big matter for it to stain the reputation of the late king and the Hailing Palace."

"How heroic was the late king who protected his family and country throughout his life? How could he be stigmatized as a man who spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife just because of a cup of tea?"

"If you must respect this tea, please ask the prince to write a letter to me and leave me, and let me return home!"

The entire lobby fell into an audible silence again, and almost everyone looked at her with shocked eyes.

Among them, the most burning and profound gaze came from Qin Yue.

His eyes were deep, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, as if he wanted to stare right through her - if he hadn't known that her goal was to reconcile, he would have praised her for her good character!

Concubine Yun's face changed a few times, but she suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay! She is indeed a noble daughter of a general. Her proud character is admirable! I, the Hailing Palace, are blessed to have a mistress like you."

"My ancestors were so complimentary." Gu Mingshu was unfazed by the flattery.

"Qianxue, please hand over all the keys and ledgers at home to Ming Shu." Concubine Yun suddenly ordered.

Yun Qianxue couldn't believe it: "Aunt, aunt?"

Are the old ladies confused? After handing over the housekeeping rights, how can they still wear gold and silver, how can they still raise money...

Concubine Yun said coldly: "Now that the palace has such a decent mistress who understands things and respects etiquette, it is natural for her to take care of the family affairs. What, you love power?"

"Qianxue doesn't dare!"

Yun Qianxue reluctantly took out a heavy bunch of keys from her arms and handed them to Gu Mingshu.

"This is the key to an important warehouse. You need to keep it with you for a while. I will send the remaining account books and the keys to the princess's room later."

People around her gasped, and Ruan Meiniang was even more shocked and jealous.

However, as Gu Mingshu, who has lived in two generations, stared at the bunch of keys, there were only four words in her mind: "hot potato".

Yun Qianxue has a lot of bad debts and a lot of dirty things in her hands. If the housekeeper power is handed over to her in such a clear way, it does not mean that she will take power, but that she will take the blame for death!

In the previous life, Yun Qianxue secretly sold the items given by the emperor to the public. This pile of bad debts was also thrown to Gu Mingshu by the old lady in the name of the housekeeper, which almost caused her to be imprisoned.

But that was all a year after she started. I didn't expect that Taifei Yun would be so impatient for her to die.

Seeing that she didn't move, Concubine Yun urged: "Why don't you answer? Do you want to evade the responsibility of the housekeeper and just enjoy your leisure time? This is not what a mistress would do."

Gu Mingshu thought: It would be better to live for a while and accept the identity of a lazy fool who only talks but does not practice, rather than spending dowry money to fill holes in the prince's palace!

But just as he was about to speak, Qin Yue suddenly sneered: "Grandma, are you confused? What kind of family can she be, a fake noble girl who can't even recognize her mother? I, the Hailing Palace, can't see everything at a glance.

For the Gu family, there is no need to mention the matter of being the head of the family..."

Gu Mingshu was aroused and she grabbed the key.

"Grandma, I'm willing to give it a try, but I really don't have housekeeping experience. You have to ask the concubine to help me!"

The sneer in Mrs. Yun's eyes flashed away, but her face became kinder: "You are indeed a good and ambitious child! Then let Qianxue assist you! Qianxue, you must also do your best, understand?"

Concubine Yun prolonged the tone of "do your best", and Yun Qianxue immediately understood and respectfully said "yes".

In this way, the matter is settled.

Then Princess Yun ran out of excuses and dismissed everyone. Yun Qianxue changed her previous attitude and cordially asked Gu Mingshu to go to the accounting room to do the counting.

However, when passing by Qin Yue, Gu Mingshu was suddenly grabbed by his arm and dragged aside.

"Are you a reincarnation of a stupid donkey? Just jump out of a trap?"

Gu Mingshu said coldly: "If you don't like it, just divorce. Or I can take a step back and write a letter of divorce."

His previous feeling was indeed correct. Her high-sounding words were actually for the purpose of reconciling Lishu, rather than really clearing her mother's name!

Qin Yue's expression changed several times, and finally returned to his former coldness: "I still said the same thing, if you want to leave, unless you die. However, with your stupidity, I'm afraid this day will not be too far away."

Gu Mingshu's clear black and white eyes ignited with a sharp edge that jumped like wildfire, "That may disappoint the prince. This time, I will definitely live well!"

For some things, if you stretch your head, it's a knife, and if you shrink your head, it's a knife. If you give in, you won't end up in a good situation. From the moment she received the key, she had a new plan.
