"Madam, the current Shangshu Mansion is a mess. You, mother and daughter, have turned a good Shangshu Mansion into what it is now. Are you still planning to wait until I manage the Shangshu Mansion well before you can enjoy your life as a fisherman?

profit?"

Xi Qingyan didn't take Madam Shangshu seriously at all.

"Xi Qingyan, if you hadn't suddenly wanted to take back your mother's dowry, would we, mother and daughter, have made the Shangshu Mansion what it is today?"

Mrs. Shangshu was very angry with Xi Qingyan. She had long wanted to reprimand Xi Qingyan, but now that she was right in front of her, of course she would not let him go easily.

"Xi Qingyan, you told the public that you were dead before, do you want to wash away all the scandals you have done? After all, no one will remember that you got pregnant out of wedlock!"

Mrs. Shangshu exposed her shortcomings in person.

"You think that after four or five years, people in Kyoto must have forgotten all the scandals you have done, so you choose to suddenly appear in front of us at this time!"

"Xi Qingyan, it's not that you can't survive outside, you've come back to take revenge on the Shangshu Mansion!"

"You think we ignored you and let you be criticized, but have you ever thought that the reason why you were criticized was because of your wishful thinking! You are the only one who has been disfigured.

A person like a toad wants to eat swan meat and expects to become Princess Li?"

"Do you know how many rumors we in Shangshu Mansion suffered because of you in the years after you disappeared?"

"Xi Qingyan, why do you want to bring down the Shangshu Mansion as soon as you come back? Why do you want to take revenge on all of us? It was obviously you who made the mistake from the beginning, and all of us are your victims!"

"You are a disfigured ugly monster who has failed in your wishful thinking, and then you will make us all pay the price for your words and deeds!"

Mrs. Shangshu felt extremely aggrieved.

In the past, she might have thought about concealing her true thoughts in front of her husband, Lord Shangshu Xi, in order to leave a good impression in the mind of Madam Shangshu.

But today, her husband actually said so many heartless words to her!

Mrs. Shangshu really can't stand it! She needs to find someone to vent all her dissatisfaction to!

"Madam, you don't have to put any dirty hat on my head here. I think you know best whether I have done those things or not!"

"And you are not the virtuous wife of the Shangshu who manages the family as outsiders say. The reason why you have been able to be supported by the Shangshu's mansion for so many years is actually due to the dowry left by my mother!"

"Madam, you are just slandering me here because you want my father to side with you and Xi Chuyu."

Xi Qingyan was calm and didn't take the accusations made by Mrs. Shangshu in front of her at all. Instead, she took out a list from her sleeve.

"Father, I left the house not long ago and got this list from the pawnshop owner on West Street. The things on this list are the treasures that my wife took from my mother's dowry over the years. Because of her own

The dowry simply cannot support the expenses of the Shangshu Mansion, so she has relied on pawning my mother’s dowry these years to maintain the honor of her as the Minister’s wife!”,

"Father, the Madam Shangshu who you think is virtuous and virtuous has never actually been virtuous and virtuous. She is virtuous and virtuous, and running the housework is all because of the confidence given to her by my mother's dowry. Now, I am only a little

After asking for my mother's dowry, chaos immediately broke out in the study room. Father, you are wise and powerful, and you should be able to understand what this means!"

At this moment, Lord Shangshu Xi naturally understood what Xi Qingyan said.

"Over the years, I have given you so much salary. Where have you squandered it?"

"It is in vain that I have been praising your virtuous and virtuous name. I didn't expect that you are actually a arrogant and extravagant person at heart, squandering your Qingyan mother's dowry!"

Lord Xi's words were full of his deep disappointment in Madam Shangshu.

The reason why he treated Madam Shangshu like that just now was because of the

At that time, he was stimulated by his colleagues.

Now, when he looked at the list in his hand, he realized how lavishly the woman in front of him had spent all these years!

"Master, this... all of this is Xi Qingyan talking nonsense here!"

"Master, you must not believe Xi Qingyan's words. The reason why she returned to Shangshu Mansion must not be because of her good intentions!"

"Master, I have never touched the first lady's dowry. The list in your hand must have been forged by Xi Qingyan!"

Madam Shangshu felt panic flash in her heart when she saw Lord Xi was disappointed in her.

She knew that the reason why she was able to survive in Shangshu Mansion was because Lord Shangshu supported her behind the scenes!

Everyone in the Shangshu Mansion knew that Lord Shangshu Xi doted on her as his wife and his daughter Xi Chuyu the most.

If Master Shangshu no longer treats mother and daughter differently, then their days in Shangshu Mansion will be no different from Xi Qingyan's previous days in Shangshu Mansion.

"Forgery?"

Xi Qingyan looked at Mrs. Shangshu who was visibly panicked, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Madam, please don't slander me. The man standing in front of me now is my father. I, Xi Qingyan, am different from you. I will not lie in front of my father."

"Madam or Sister Chu Yu doubts the authenticity of this list. You can go to the pawn shop with your father to investigate. The owner of the pawn shop has always kept my mother's dowry! He said that those who pretend to be good will be good at first glance.

Things, he is also worried that Madam, when you have more money, you will go directly to the pawn shop to get my mother's things back."

Xi Qingyan's words completely blocked Mrs. Shangshu's mouth. She was not pretending to defend herself.

Because Mrs. Shangshu knew that what Xi Qingyan said was actually the truth.

In order to support this huge family over the years, Lord Shangshu took a lot of good things from Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry and pawned them.

"Xi Qingyan, are you always wary of the people in the Shangshu Mansion? When you treat me, the Shangshu's wife, do you think of me as your stepmother and Chu Yu as your sister?"

Mrs. Shangshu was forced to retreat by Xi Qingyan, so she raised her eyes and looked at Xi Qingyan with a sneer.

"Madam, are you putting the cart before the horse?"

"Madam, my father promised me to return the dowry that Madam has temporarily kept to me, but when I was counting it, I found that Madam, you had tampered with our mother's dowry. Many of the items in it were fakes, so I had no choice but to do so.

Under the circumstances, I investigated the fakes and found out that Madam was secretly pawning the dowry my mother left for me behind my father's back!"

"Madam, if you hadn't tampered with my mother's dowry, why would I have been curious enough to investigate what was going on behind the whole thing?"

Xi Qingyan sneered and looked at Mrs. Shangshu on the bed.

"So it seems that the reason why Madam is here today can be regarded as a kind of self-imposed fault?"

The wife of Shangshu Mansion is particularly ridiculous, but she has to kneel on the heads of others for her own mistakes! It is really eye-opening for her that such a person can be the mistress of the house for so many years!

"Xi Qingyan, you...!"

Mrs. Shangshu was so angry with Xi Qingyan that she wanted to stand up, but Xi Qingyan was not afraid of her.

"Okay, okay, you two, mother and daughter, don't have to mess around here. I have decided this matter. Xi Qingyan, from this moment on, you will be responsible for managing the entire Shangshu Mansion and everyone's money.

All calls must be made with your nod!" ap.

"If you can do this well and let our Shangshu Mansion return to the peaceful days of the past, then as my father, I will hand over the management of the Shangshu Mansion to you!"

"But if you can't keep the Shangshu Mansion in order, then your father will not be lenient to you!"

Lord Shangshu Xi didn't want to get involved in this trivial matter, so he directly interrupted the three people arguing and handed over all the housekeeping matters to Xi Qingyan.

"Father, all the people in Shangshu Mansion you mentioned are under my control.

"Does everyone include Madam and Xi Chuyu?"

Xi Qingyan did not agree directly. She wanted to clarify her scope of authority.

"include!"

Mr. Xi looked at Mrs. Shangshu on the hospital bed and his second daughter Xi Chuyu, who was full of anger, and finally said these words.

"Since neither your mother nor your sister Chu Yu can manage the Shangshu Mansion well, it is natural that they should be replaced by someone with the ability to manage it."

"Okay, since my father believes in my daughter so much, I will not let him down!"

After Xi Qingyan received her father's promise, she no longer hesitated and directly took over the management of the Shangshu Mansion.

"Do a good job."

Master Xi left the Peony Garden with these words and returned to his study to read his poems and books.

Xi Qingyan looked at the mother and daughter in the Peony Garden, whose faces turned red with anger, and felt very good.

"Madam, now that you are sick, you can rest assured and recover. Qingyan will go out and invite a doctor to come to the house for Madam."

Xi Qingyan left without saying anything.

As soon as she walked away with her front foot, Xi Chuyu dropped a bottle on the ground with her back foot!

"I'm so pissed off, really pissed off! Who is Xi Qingyan? Not only did she bully me, but she also climbed onto your head to dominate you!"

Xi Chuyu has never been so wronged since she was a child!

"Who does she think she is? Why is she yelling in front of us? Mother, please speak quickly! If we don't take action to correct her, our daughter will go crazy!"

"Chu Yu, please be patient and don't be impatient."

Mrs. Shangshu felt more and more irritable as she listened to her daughter yelling in her ears.

"Mom, how can I calm down? Didn't you hear just now? Father has already said that everyone in the family must be arranged by Xi Qingyan!"

"Mother, do you know what everyone means? Everyone includes you and me!"

When Xi Chuyu thought of what her father had just said, she couldn't help but feel upset!

"Yes, I heard what your father said, but your father didn't just say what he just said. Chu Yu, don't forget, your father also said that if Xi Qingyan can't manage Shangshu Mansion well, he will

I will punish Xi Qingyan severely."

Mrs. Shangshu sneered and spoke.

"Xi Qingyan's daughter who has not left the court actually wants to fight with me! She doesn't even think about how much she weighs!"

"Mother, are you saying that we took this opportunity to cause trouble and interfere with Xi Qingyan's good deeds?"

Xi Chuyu instantly understood the meaning of her mother's words, and the smile returned to her face again.
