I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

It is said that when Lin was summoned by her mother-in-law and walked into the ancestral hall, she already knew that she would be punished.

She also understood that she had not handled today's matter well, so she had to kneel as punishment.

So, she calmly lifted her skirt and knelt.

Unexpectedly, when he came to the green futon and was about to kneel, he heard Madam Gao coldly say, "Cui Yu, take the futon away!"

Lin: ???

The futon was taken away, where should she kneel?

You wouldn't want her to kneel on the hard, cold floor, would you?

Lin turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, only to see that Old Madam Gao was staring at her coldly. Lin was startled and did not dare to delay any longer. She knelt on the hard floor with a plop.

Her knees, which had been pampered for years, suddenly felt painful!

Lin just felt that she was unlucky and cursed in her heart.

Unexpectedly, a more severe punishment came. Madam Gao came up behind her holding a feather duster and said coldly:

"Ms. Lin, you have been acting strangely in the past few years. I have never had a problem with you because you have been working hard to run the Duke's Mansion for more than 20 years."

"You are getting worse and worse, even trying to confuse the bloodline of my Gao family! You are promoting a bastard to the top, and you are even usurping the title of the eldest grandson?"

"How can you be worthy of being the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

When these words came out, Lin's heart began to beat fast. Could it be that because of the bloodline issue, Madam Gao wanted to divorce her?

Thinking of this, Lin's body trembled slightly.

"You don't deserve it, you don't deserve it at all!" Old Madam Gao was so angry that she raised the feather duster and slapped Lin's back fiercely, once, twice, three times...

He whipped her for more than ten times before he stopped panting.

Just when Lin thought the fight was finally over, she saw Madam Gao call over a strong and sturdy maid, hand her a feather duster, and said in a cold voice:

"Keep hitting me. Don't stop until I hit you a hundred times!"

One hundred times?

Lin was shocked.

She had only been hit a dozen times and her back was already covered in blood. If she was hit a hundred times, wouldn't it be a bloody mess?

"Mother, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again next time." Lin tried to beg for mercy.

Madam Gao said angrily, "You still dare to beg for mercy? Then give me two hundred lashes!"

Upon seeing this, Lin immediately shut up and no longer dared to beg for mercy.

He endured two hundred blows!

The entire back was covered in blood and the outer robe was torn!

Lin was dying and could not even kneel steadily. He fell to the ground with a thump.

"Kneel down!" The nanny grabbed Lin again without any courtesy and forced her to continue kneeling, even if her whole body was trembling.

At this time, Madam Gao said coldly, "Ms. Lin, I will not divorce you because you gave birth to Gao Yan and Gao Shu."

Hearing this, Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, it loosened too early.

Madam Gao continued, "You gave birth to two children, but you raised them in a terrible way. Especially Gao Yan. Look at him. What a mess he is now."

"It's bad enough that you didn't raise your child well, but you also messed up the way you handled the emergency. Not to mention the distant past, just tonight, you almost got Gao Yan involved in a murder lawsuit!"

"Ms. Lin, your ability is too low to be the mistress of the household. From tonight on, you don't have to be the housekeeper anymore!"

Lin: ???

No need for a housekeeper anymore?

What does this mean? To take away her power as the head of the household? To let someone else take care of the household affairs?

After a brief moment of shock, Lin finally understood that this was most likely something her mother-in-law did for show. After all, something happened tonight, so there had to be a punishment.

Thinking of this, Lin felt a little more at ease.

If the household expenses were not handed over to her, it would only be handed over to the second or third wife temporarily, and would return to her sooner or later. After all, the second and third wives had no right to inherit the title.

Unexpectedly, Madam Gao specifically said, "From now on, the housekeeping power will be handed over to Gao Ni's wife. Zheng'er has been married for half a year. She is very good at dealing with people and is worthy of being reused."

what?

Give it to Fu Yuzheng?

Hearing this, Lin was completely shocked!

Giving the housekeeper power to Fu Yuzheng is completely different from giving it to the second or third wife.

Is it possible that my mother-in-law will start to plan to pass the title to Gao Ni as well?

Thinking of this, Lin's heart seemed to be grasped by a huge hand, making her almost unable to breathe.

Finally, Lin protested:

"Mother, no, absolutely not! Fu Yuzheng is only the daughter-in-law of a bastard. How can the internal affairs of the Duke's Mansion be handed over to the daughter-in-law of a bastard?"

"If this gets out, other ladies will laugh at us to death!"

When Madam Gao heard this, she was not angry, because she saw through Lin's intentions at a glance - she was just afraid that the title would be taken away by Gao Ni.

Regarding this, Mrs. Gao knew it clearly.

Gao Yan's ability, virtue and his mental state in recent years are not up to the task. If the title is really given to him, within a few years, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will fall into decline!

Not only will your descendants suffer, but your ancestors’ legacy will also be squandered!

Only by passing the title to Gao Ni can the extraordinary wealth of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion be preserved.

Therefore, Madam Gao did not bother to answer Lin at all, and ordered the maid Cuiyu to say:

"Cui Yu, go to the eldest lady's room now, immediately, and find the matching cards and the key to the storeroom, and give them to Gao Ni's wife tonight!"

Lin was anxious: "Mother, you can't do this, you can't do this..."

She stretched out her hand excitedly, trying to hug Madam Gao's thigh.

At this point, how could Madam Gao still care about her? She just walked away two steps, far away from her scratching claws.

At the same time, Madam Gao continued to snort coldly:

"From now on, you don't need to ask about any affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. Zheng'er will take care of it. You just need to kneel down in the ancestral hall and copy the "Ancestral Instructions" a thousand times. When you have finished copying, you can return to your room."

Copy the ancestral teachings a thousand times?

My God, if I copy down the ancestral teachings, it would be dozens of pages long!

If I copy it a thousand times, wouldn't it take me half a year to finish?

In other words, Lin will have to kneel in the ancestral hall for the next six months?

Living with a bunch of gloomy ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall?

Realizing this, Lin felt a black screen before his eyes!

She couldn't bear it and fainted from fright!

~

Madam Gao really kept her word. That night, Fu Yuzheng received the matching cards and the key to the treasury.

At that time, Fu Yuzheng was still nestling in Gao Ni's arms, and the couple were chatting sweetly about interesting stories in the court.

Suddenly, Gao Ni received the pair of cards and the treasury key, and he said:

"Early tomorrow morning, all the stewards in the mansion will come to see you collectively. There will be a few troublemakers among them who will not obey you. You must be prepared to deal with them."

Lin has been in charge of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for more than 20 years. Many of the women in charge are her confidants. Not only is she uneasy about using them, but some of them are likely to lead trouble.

It embarrassed Zheng'er.

Hearing this, Fu Yuzheng smiled and hugged Gao Ni's neck, saying coquettishly:

"Got it, got it, don't worry, brother Ni, I will take care of it."

"Besides, I am your wife. A strong general has no weak soldiers under him! You are so powerful and capable, how can I be worse than you?"

Gao Ni was amused, and pinched her nose and said, "You clever little thing. Okay, I believe you can give them a warning with just one move!"

"Of course!" Fu Yuzheng smiled confidently.

She was not exaggerating. She had fought with these servants in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in her previous life and knew those managers very well.

Now that I have a new lease on life, I don’t even have to worry about “identifying who among them has ulterior motives and who can be recruited under my command”. I can just choose the right people and assign them to the right positions!

Totally stress-free!

The next morning, Fu Yuzheng was sleeping soundly in Gao Ni's arms when Gao Ni suddenly woke her up with a kiss.

"Brother Nickel, that's annoying, stop it."

Fu Yuzheng's neck felt itchy from being kissed. She hugged the dog man's big head with both hands and tried to push it away.

Gao Ni kissed her red lips again, then smiled and said, "Wife, it's time to get up. Today is the first day of meeting the steward, and you have to dress up."

He knew his wife well. Once she started to dress up, it would take her at least an hour and a half (three hours) to finish.

Fu Yuzheng: ???

This bastard is such a worrier, he even cares about everything including getting up!

"Get out! I want to sleep a little longer!" Fu Yuzheng raised her foot and kicked the stinky man out of the bed. Then she turned over, facing the wall, and continued to sleep.

Like a lazy cat lying in bed.

Seeing this, Gao Ni laughed out loud, slapped her on the butt, and smiled at her lovingly: "You are really a sleepy little lazy cat."

After that, Gao Ni stopped arguing with her, and went to the outer room, telling the maid Qiao Mei:

"At most she can sleep for another fifteen minutes, then we have to wake her up. Otherwise, there won't be enough time."

Fu Yuzheng: ...

This guy is such a worrier!

But then again, she knew in her heart that this man really loved her, which was why he wanted to take care of everything for her.

So, even though Fu Yuzheng seems to be humming on the surface, she is actually feeling very sweet inside.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Mei came to wake her up as Gao Ni had instructed.

At this time, Fu Yuzheng, who had not gotten enough sleep, did not lose her temper anymore. Instead, she turned over and got out of bed obediently, her heart filled with sweetness. She just thought it was still her brother who called her to get up.

It’s no wonder that nickel is extremely accurate in time calculation.

It really took Fu Yuzheng a full hour and a half to finish dressing up.

There were only fifteen minutes left before she met the stewards, which was just enough time for her to eat a slow breakfast.

Halfway through, while drinking bird's nest and white fungus porridge, Fu Yuzheng suddenly asked Qiaomei: "How much time is left?"

Qiao Mei smiled and said, "Young Madam, don't be in a hurry. There is still more than a quarter of an hour left."

Hearing this, Fu Yuzheng nodded, thinking of her plan, and said with a smile:

"Qiaomei, tell the maid guarding the gate to close the gate when there is only a quarter of an hour left. Anyone who comes later will be locked outside and not allowed to come in."

Qiaomei agreed and went out to do the work immediately.

~

It is said that the night before, Madam Gao had already sent her maid to give orders to all the managers in the mansion.

——From tonight onwards, the mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion will be replaced by Gao Ni’s wife, the eldest son’s wife Fu Yuzheng.

——Tomorrow morning at 9:00 p.m., all managers will go to Linfeng Court for training.

As soon as this order came down, the managers in the mansion knew immediately that the situation had changed!

Things are going to change in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion from now on!

The world is no longer ruled by the Lin family and Gao Yan, it will be taken over by Gao Ni and his wife!

For a while, all the managers went from door to door, whispering to each other and talking about things.

"Normal. The Crown Prince Gao Yan has been in decline for many years. As soon as he walked out of the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he was the object of ridicule and mockery. Now, it's just that the mistress of the house has changed. In my opinion, sooner or later, the position of the Crown Prince will also have to be replaced!"
