Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Tu suddenly trembled all over!

As soon as she left, Tu started to make crazy sounds and used her movable arms to sweep all the movable objects in front of the pillow to the ground. Her eyes were red.

Xie Zhaozhao hated her and wanted to take revenge on everyone in the first house, so she threatened herself with Yuebai.

Nanny Wan sighed and said, "Madam, please don't be angry. You have suffered, but it is good enough that she doesn't care about you breaking into Qingpu Courtyard and trying to sell the palace soldiers privately. It's all right for everyone to be able to get along in the future."

Tu's anger: Uh-huh

Are you on her side too?

Nanny Wan shook her head: "I have served you personally for decades, how could I side with her? Madam, we are all old..."

You are old now, wouldn't it be nice to spend your old age in peace? You have not managed the Marquis's Mansion well for decades.

When Xie Zhaozhao came out from Tu's side, he saw Lu wandering around the gate of Qingpu Courtyard, being very respectful with a smile on her face.

This is a gesture of goodwill.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and asked someone to take her into the Qingpuyuan teahouse.

"Thank you for your strong recommendation today, my third sister-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten this good thing." Mrs. Lu said flatteringly.

In fact, what I was thinking in my heart was that the old lady had no choice now.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at her and knew what was on her mind, but he didn't expose her. He just said, "I just went to my eldest sister-in-law's place. She reacted strongly to you taking over the household."

After saying that, he picked up the tea and took a sip.

Mrs. Lu was indeed very angry: "She reacted strongly? She just wants the Second House to be suppressed by her forever."

"As the wife of the Earl, she is indeed more qualified to take over the household affairs, and my mother has always favored her. However, if you don't try, how can you know who can better manage the Earl's house?"

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Third sister-in-law, I have never been in charge of the household. You said that the young lady and I should jointly manage the household. How should I cooperate with her?"

Xie Zhaozhao found it funny. As soon as Lu came to power, he wanted to take control of the power and eliminate his collaborators?

"Don't worry, the young lady won't pose a threat to you!" Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "When the eldest sister-in-law was in charge of the household, she had her own channels for the staffing, clothing for all four seasons, and food ingredients in the mansion. Second sister-in-law might as well compare prices and have more choices in supply channels. She can always choose a better supplier than before."

The most urgent task is to catch suppliers.

Connections and secret servants, these are the fundamental reasons for fighting for the right to control the household expenses!

Is it possible that the purpose of being in charge of the household expenses is to accumulate virtue, do good deeds and make selfless contributions?

Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!

He held her hand excitedly: "Third sister-in-law, now that you said that, I'm suddenly enlightened. Don't worry, I will never let Qingpuyuan down in the future."

She originally only knew that being in charge of household affairs could bring her power and prestige, but she didn't expect that there were so many tricks involved.

When it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation, choosing the right supplier is the wisdom of the head of the household. It not only allows you to get "commissions" but also allows you to quickly build your own circle of contacts.

Xie Xiangxiang had been running around in a panic three days after taking office, but Xie Zhaozhao pointed out to her the essence of household management in just one sentence.

Suppliers can take hidden commissions, and if they don’t take hidden commissions, they can arrange their own people and build a solid circle of contacts inside and outside the palace.

To put it bluntly, even if Mrs. Tu becomes as fast as flying in the future, and even if the future lady of the earldom wants to take over the household chores, she won't be able to do so.

Only the Lu family truly understood what it meant to have a poor temple but a rich abbot. What was poor was money, but what was rich was more than just money!

Only then did Lu truly understand how big the gap between Xie Xiangxiang and Xie Zhaozhao was.

Mrs. Lu acted decisively and first went back to her parents' home and brought along Lu Pingping, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. This niece had been helping her sister-in-law manage the household for many years and was the most shrewd one.

Lu Pingping didn't even take a break and started checking the accounts from the beginning immediately.

After checking, Lu Pingping said: "Most of the income of the mansion comes from the old man, and you were recommended by the old man's wife. You should thank her no matter what."

"I should give her some presents? But I see she needs nothing."

"Aunt, the old man and his wife have survived a disaster. No matter what, we must hold a welcoming banquet for them."

Lu Pingping said that she had to squeeze out the money no matter how hard she tried.

Mrs. Lu felt that her niece was right and could not help herself. She went to the old lady and told her that she wanted to hold a welcoming banquet for her third brother.

The old lady was reluctant at first, but Mrs. Lu said, "Mother, the whole family depends on my third brother now. They suffered a great disaster, and they returned safely without even a welcoming banquet. Isn't that too heartbreaking?"

"Is there any money left in the account?"

"Even if there is no money, each hospital has to do it if it is tight."

The old lady was so embarrassed by her rebuke that she said, "Then do it!"

There were ten tables at the welcoming banquet, and Gu Yongnian brought all his relatives in North City. The old lady also took the opportunity to ask someone to call Zhi Yaoyao and her two sisters and Zhi Baiju.

Mrs. Lu didn't want to do that at first, but Xie Xiangxiang said to her, "Second Aunt, you have just taken charge of the household affairs, there is no need to offend the old lady."

Lu gritted her teeth and agreed.

The banquet was very well organized, with almost all of the food, from the wine to the dishes, being of the highest quality. Not only did Lu keep twenty jars of wine for herself, she also took three hundred strings of cash from the winery, butcher's shop, and vegetable farmers for new supplies.

Even so, the money was still saved by at least 500 strings of cash compared to the same scale banquet hosted by the Tu family at that time.

Lu couldn't wait to take credit from the old lady, and even went to show off how capable she was in front of Xie Zhaozhao. She secretly sent ten jars of withheld wine to Qingpuyuan.

Seeing that she was being polite, Xie Zhaozhao wanted to give her a heads up, so he asked, "How much did the banquet cost in total?"

Mrs. Lu thought she was complaining about spending too much money, so she quickly explained, "The total expenses are 1,500 strings of cash. However, my sister-in-law once held a celebration banquet when Gu Chengyan was named the Crown Prince. It also had ten tables and cost more than 2,700 strings of cash. It was not as good as this banquet."

"How much do you bill the old lady?"

"I reported it truthfully for the first time. I wanted her to see that my ability is no worse than that of my sister-in-law."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "You reported too little to the old lady."

Lu looked at her in confusion.

"This is your first time in charge of the household. You organized a banquet of the same standard better than hers and spent less money. Although it slapped the eldest sister-in-law in the face, it also whetted the old lady's appetite. The entire first room is unhappy, and the other rooms are not necessarily grateful to you."

Seeing that Lu didn't seem to understand, Xie Zhaozhao continued to give advice, "You spent so little money for the first time, what do you want to do next time?"

Lu finally understood that there were too many benefits the first time, and the old lady might be satisfied, but the starting point was too high, and it would be difficult for her to have room for improvement in the future.

The most important thing is that once your appetite is grown, it will never be satisfied in the future. If it exceeds the limit even slightly, people will suspect you of embezzlement.

Lu was so excited that she disregarded the rules and etiquette and knelt down to kowtow to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao held her back: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't do anything, I don't deserve your gift!"

When Tu heard that Lu's banquet fee totaled 2,500 strings of cash, Tu, who knew the ins and outs of the matter well, stared with her eyes wide open, unable to get up even if she wanted to.

Mrs. Lu must have received guidance from an expert, but she couldn't expose it.

"Wu Shi (Lu Shi), Yi Ta Mo (you are greedy for money), I will eat Yi (tear you apart)!"

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood!
