This time, Marquis Yong'an suddenly mentioned letting Xie, who had been away from home for five years, take power again, which was equivalent to redistributing the interests of the Marquis' Mansion. Some people keenly sensed that... This Marquis' Mansion was about to change!

"Father."

Xiao Xuetang stood up and said, "I feel guilty for not being able to share your worries. I don't dare to trouble you with the affairs of the courtyard. From now on, can I let you make the decisions on your own regarding all matters in Litangju?"

At this time, Xiao Yi was feeling guilty for his suspicion of Xiao Xuetang. Seeing that everyone got something today, but Xiao Xuetang did not fight for it, he softened his heart and said, "Of course, you can decide what to do with the people and things in your yard from now on. Ask your mother to give you the indentures of the people in your yard later."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed slightly...

Xiao Yi was a man and didn't understand what this meant, but the other people understood it clearly.

With today's redistribution of housekeeper power, it seemed that Xiao Xuetang got nothing, but in fact he gained control of Litangju.

This also means that Li Tangju will no longer be under the control of these heads of the family. The servants will obey Xiao Xuetang's orders, but the expenses of her courtyard will come from the public purse, so she doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion!

No matter how you look at it, Xiao Xuetang got the big advantage.

The Second Madam's face wasn't looking good either, but Xiao Xuetang had just recommended Xiao Yunni, and the Second House was indebted to her. The words rolled around in her lips, but she finally swallowed them back.

But Ye Jin couldn't bear it anymore!

Ye Jin stood up in a flash, and everyone looked at her in surprise...

"What happened to Sister Jin?"

Ye Jin's face changed instantly, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Why does my sister want to split up the family for no reason? Is it because Jin'er upsets my sister in the Marquis' Mansion? In this case, Jin'er should leave the Marquis' Mansion."

The old lady was old and couldn't stand the word "division". She looked at Xiao Xuetang angrily and said, "Xiao Xuetang, what are you doing?"

Xiao Xuetang's expression did not change. She looked at Ye Jin and asked, "Miss Jin, when did I ever say the word 'separation'? Why do you curse our mansion for no reason on this day of reunion?"

Ye Jin's face twitched, but he put on an innocent look and said, "But in our folk society, a family's food, clothing and expenses are all shared. If we each discuss our own affairs, it would be considered a split."

Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "Miss Jin, you also said that this is in your folk society. If a noble family still cares so much about trivial matters, I'm afraid that even if the head of the family has ten pairs of hands, they still can't run the family."

"The reason why aristocratic families can last for a hundred years is because of the integrity of this lineage!"

"As long as our family is of one mind and brothers and sisters work together for the honor of the Marquisate, this Marquisate will surely prosper for a long time."

Xie saw Xiao Xuetang standing with his hands behind his back, his dignified and proud character, quite similar to that of his father, Grand Tutor Xie, and she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Xiao Yi clapped his hands and said, "Tangtang is right. The children of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion all have great ambitions. Why should we be so concerned about such a small matter?"

Ye Jin's usual innocent and bright smile finally faded at this moment.

She instigated Xiao Yi to let Xie take charge of the family because she wanted to use Xie as a puppet to manipulate the mansion, especially to take this opportunity to control Xiao Xuetang, control Xiao Xuetang's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then slowly divide the servants around her...

But she never expected that Xiao Xuetang seemed to have anticipated her plan and actually used this trick to cut off her financial support...

Ye Jin was secretly resentful in his heart, but Xiao Xuetang, who had been calm and composed at this time, was pressing forward step by step!

Her usually affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to be dipped in ice when she stared at Ye Jin.

"Miss Jin is reacting so strongly. Are you worried that if my Litangju is separated from others, you will have less place to bully others?"

Ye Jin was startled at once, but after a moment, she suppressed the shock and surprise in her eyes and looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Sister, are you kidding me? I am just an orphan living in the Marquis' Mansion. How dare I interfere in your affairs?"

Even if Ye Jin lowered his tone at this moment, no one would believe him.

Not to mention the always shrewd Second Madam...

Even the old lady who had been fooled by Ye Jinhua's sweet words in the past two days began to suspect something, but she had no evidence in her hands.

However, Yong'an Hou said, "Okay, it's settled. Mother and son have social engagements today, so we won't have dinner with you."

The old lady immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you have more important things to do."

Then he reminded her, "Now that you can come back from Jingzhou, it is the grace of His Majesty. You must work hard for His Majesty and revive our Yong'an Marquis Mansion."

The honor of the Marquis's Mansion is related to the prosperity and wealth of Old Madam Xiao. She cares more than anyone else. Xiao Yi felt that his ears were almost calloused after hearing these words. He said perfunctorily: "Son knows."

Before Madam Xiao could say anything, he fled away like the wind.

No matter how filial Xiao Yi was, he couldn't stand the nagging of old lady Xiao.

As soon as Xiao Yi left, Madam Xiao looked at the Xie family and said coldly, "Well, I'm tired after making such a fuss for the whole morning. You all can go down. As for the account key of the Marquis' Mansion, I'll ask Nanny Qin to give it to you later."

As for later time, whether it is this evening or next month's evening, it depends on Madam Xiao's mood!

After everyone left, Madam Xiao returned to her room and slammed the teacup in her hand with a sullen face. "This Xie is a person who will not fart even if you hit her with three sticks. She never asked about the housekeeper's affairs during her years in the Xie family. Why did she come back from Jingzhou this time and actually instigated the eldest brother to support her?"

Old Madam Xiao had been the one who had the final say in the Marquis' Mansion for many years, and she had never been humiliated like this before. She felt extremely aggrieved.

Nanny Qin said, "Yes, the Marquis and his wife are acting very abnormally this time. Could there be someone behind this..."

Before she finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the old lady's eyes: "You said someone instigated Xie? Damn it, if I find out who it is, I will skin her alive!"

At this point, Madam Xiao seemed to have thought of something and said, "You say... could this person be that damn girl Xiao Xuetang?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Qin shook her head slightly and said, "Not really..."

"You have been watching this young lady for many years. You know her temperament. She has never been close to the Marquis and his daughter. It is not like she can do such a thing."

"Could it be Ye..."

The old lady was about to place her suspicion on Ye Jin, but was interrupted by Nanny Lai who came in with a snack: "Old lady, in my opinion, today's incident was definitely instigated by those gossipy women around the lady. They are members of the Xie family, and they just can't stand seeing our mansion doing well!"

Sure enough, these words diverted the old lady's attention, and the exiled old lady of the Xie family said with a gloomy face: "Unlucky."

Only Nanny Qin frowned slightly when she saw Nanny Lai, but soon she seemed to have thought of something and said to the old lady, "There is just one thing that I am a little worried about..."

"Now the young lady seems to have become a different person. She is no longer angry with the Marquis as before. In addition, the Marquis has repeatedly mentioned the engagement of the Third Prince in the past two days. This old servant is worried about the young lady's things..."

Before she could finish her words, the old lady suddenly became angry: "Why, that little bitch wants to take those things back? Unless I die, I will never give up the treasures I have obtained!"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Lai was secretly anxious. She knew that the old lady was stingy, but the eldest lady's personality had changed now, and she had the support of the Marquis behind her.

I'm afraid that this marquis's mansion will not be peaceful in the future!

……

Just as Xiao Xuetang was about to leave, she suddenly heard Ye Jin's voice behind her...

"Sister, I have been in the mansion for two days, and I haven't had a good look around the mansion yet. Can you take me around?"

Xiao Xuetang looked at Ye Jin deeply, and Ye Jin gave him an innocent smile. After a moment, Xiao Xuetang nodded slightly...
