My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 168 Slap Xiaoyu

"But remember, you must be careful about this matter, especially not to be discovered by Liu Yiyi. Although I have not met Liu Yiyi many times, according to my mother's intuition, this Liu Yiyi is probably not a simple person."

"Yes, mother, I know that I will never let this matter be exposed easily before it succeeds."

Zhang Qingsha nodded seriously.

Liu Yiyi didn't know about the plan of the Huang mother and daughter in Dingxiangyuan. With the money, it would be easier for her to manage the affairs of the mansion.

In less than seven days, the entire mansion returned to its previous orderly state.

Moreover, Liu Yiyi used her own methods to quickly cultivate two confidants.

After looking at the current account book, Liu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Yu, take these account books first." Liu Yiyi waved her hand.

"Yes, ma'am."

After Xiao Sang died, in order to prevent Zhang from arranging an undercover agent around her, Liu Yiyi went out in person and bought two people from the matchmaker.

One is Xiaoyu, her personal maid who currently works by her side, and the other is a young man.

Liu Yiyi specially brought an expert arranged by Doctor Qi with her and selected a young man with an extraordinary figure. This young man had some martial arts skills. Although the price was a bit high, Liu Yiyi still bought him with great reluctance because of his martial arts skills.

Then he was sent to that master for training, and within a month, he could be used directly by her.

"Madam, Miss Zhang's coming-of-age party will be held in Dingxiang Garden soon. The old lady in Changshou Hall sent a message saying that Madam should make a big deal about this event. What should we do?"

"We have to hold a grand wedding, but the money won't come from the public account. Xiaoyu, go tell Nanny Chen at Changshou Hall and tell her that there are only three hundred taels of silver in the account. If we want to hold a grand coming-of-age banquet, Changshou Hall must pay part of the money.

How big the banquet is will depend on how much money you have. Let the old lady decide for herself."

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go right away."

After hearing Xiaoyu's words, Zhang was so angry that she threw all the teacups on the table to the ground.

"How outrageous! Liu really thinks that she can do whatever she wants as the head of the family!"

"Madam, the Madam also said that there has been too little money in the account recently, so all expenses in the mansion must be greatly reduced, and Changshou Hall is no exception."

"What? Reduce expenses?" Nanny Chen raised her voice and looked at the little maid in front of her in disbelief.

"Yes, this is all Madam's orders."

"What do you mean by Madam? She is just a concubine who doesn't even have the title of Madam. How dare she call herself Madam? It's really unruly!"

Zhang started cursing.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and said nothing. She was only responsible for passing on messages. She didn't need to care about other things, nor did she have the qualifications to do so.

"Humph, ask Liu Yiyi to come here. I want to see what else she wants to do. She thinks that she is the master of this mansion just because she has the power of housekeeper. The Marquis and I are not dead yet!"

Zhang slapped the table hard.

"Come here, give this little maid a good slap in the face. She has no manners at all and has no respect for her elders. She is just like your master, extremely annoying!"

Zhang was furious. She couldn't wait for Liu Yiyi to come over, so she decided to punish her personal maid first.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Chen immediately raised her hand and signaled the maids standing on both sides to go forward and grab Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu didn't expect that Zhang and Nanny Chen were going to hit her, and she was immediately frightened.

"Madam, I am your maidservant. I am just a messenger. Why did you hit me?"

Before she could finish her words, her arms were lifted up by the servant.

Xiaoyu's eyes were full of fear and she struggled hard, trying to escape from here.

However, she was just a skinny little maid, how could she break free from the clutches of these rough servants?

Nanny Chen has been feeling resentful for a long time because the power of housekeeper fell into Liu Yiyi's hands.

Like Zhang, she always felt that except for Xue Wanxian, they were the ones with the highest status in the entire Lin'an Marquis' Mansion, and everyone else should act according to their wishes.

Even in the first three years, An Qingqian, the general's daughter, lived under their shackles.

Liu Yiyi, a person from the border of unknown low status, actually dared to step on their heads. This was a great shame and humiliation for them.

If Xue Wanxian didn't like her and dote on her, she would be worse than the lowest-ranking maid in the mansion.

Now that she finally found an excuse, Nanny Chen finally found a place to vent her anger.

She walked up to Xiaoyu, stood in front of her, and slapped her in the face.

After ten slaps, Xiaoyu's cheeks became red and swollen, and a lot of blood seeped from the corners of her mouth.

Xiaoyu struggled frantically, but it was of no avail. She was like a little chick, being tightly controlled there, unable to move at all.

Nanny Chen's right hand also hurt badly. She glared at Xiaoyu with disgust, took two steps back, and walked to Zhang's side.

But he did not let Xiaoyu go, but signaled the old woman next to him to continue.

A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Chen asked the old woman to stop.

At this time, Xiaoyu's face was so swollen that it could not be recognized. The two old women who were holding Xiaoyu let go of her hands, and Xiaoyu could not hold on and fell to the ground.

She did not faint because of this. The pain on her face made it impossible for her to faint.

"Go back to Furong Courtyard." Nanny Chen snorted and spoke in a domineering tone.

Xiaoyu didn't dare to stay at all. She forced herself to get up, but after taking just two steps, she fainted on the ground again.

She only felt that everything in front of her was blurry. She could not see the road clearly and could not tell the direction.

When Liu Yiyi received the news from Changshou Hall, she sneered and ignored it completely.

She knew that Zhang was very unhappy, but what could she do? If she wanted to make things difficult for herself, it would depend on whether she was willing to go there.

She just didn't believe that Zhang would be so embarrassed as to bring people here to teach her a lesson.

But she forgot that Xiaoyu was still there and had not come back.

When Xiaoyu came back and saw Xiaoyu's appearance, Liu Yiyi was immediately furious.

"This damn old bitch actually dared to do this to me. She really doesn't know how to live or die."

"Come here, from today on, all expenses of Changshou Hall will be directly reduced by half. Over the years, there have been too many people serving in Changshou Hall, and they are redundant. They only know how to collect monthly wages every month, but they don't do much.

From now on, the number of servants working in Changshou Hall will be reduced by half, and those who are cunning and sly will be driven out directly. If anyone is dissatisfied, just let them come to me. "

"Well, Miss Liu, if we do this, I'm afraid the old lady won't agree." The housekeeper said worriedly.
