Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Of course Ruan Tao would not ask the reason in front of Ji Fu.

After hearing Ji Fu's words, she was about to leave, so Mama He winked, and Hainan stepped forward cleverly to see Ji Fu off.

Ruan Tao suddenly understood that Hainan, who seemed the most simple and honest among the maidservants, should be a little expert at inquiring.Not only does the original owner have Mama He, who knows when to act and what to show to others, but among the four first-class maids around her, Ya Shi is dignified and safe and can be her spokesperson, and Lan Dai is meticulous, and she will be entrusted to Lan for any careful matters. Dai can't go wrong. Hainan looks simple and honest, but he is actually a little expert at inquiring. Zimi should also have something special.

The original owner married into the Marquis of Nanping, the Ruan family should have been heartbroken.

It's no wonder that in the original book, the original owner ran up and down to bully a few cubs in the mansion, and occasionally had secret disagreements with the old lady, but he was safe and sound until the hero returned to the mansion.

Because the people around me are capable...

Waiting for Hainan's time, Ruan Tao continued to look down at the account book with his head down.

The ledger continued to look down, and there were many interesting things. The loopholes in the ledger alone would probably be enough for her to pass for a long time...

For example, the account of the treasury.

The treasury is the place where the government stores gold, silver, silk and food utensils.

The treasury in the Hou Mansion is divided into four places.

The first place is the daily expenses of food, cloth, utensils, and charcoal fire in the mansion. Most of them are in kind. They will be sent to various places in the mansion every month according to the allocated amount, or received on demand. The key to this treasury is in the mansion. In the hands of the stewards in charge;

The second place is the daily expenses of the mansion, namely cash, banknotes and IOUs. Uncle Song is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. The key to this treasury is in the hands of Uncle Song, and money is needed for management in various places in the mansion. When the time comes, they will apply to Song Bo;

In addition to these two treasuries for daily expenses, the Hou Mansion also has a third treasury for storing grain, and a fourth treasury for storing gold, silver and silk. These two treasuries are the big ones.

The keys to these two treasuries are held in the hands of the old lady herself.

Ordinarily, the old madam fell ill again despite her affairs, and the original owner is Nanping Hou's stepmother, so the keys of these two places should be handed over to the original owner...

But she is not here.

That should be a plot that she missed, or it was not mentioned in the original book...

Ruan Tao then asked, "Mother He, when we came to the Hou Mansion, didn't the old lady mention the keys to the treasury?"

It's okay if Ruan Tao didn't ask, but when Ruan Tao asked, He Ma's whole face was filled with worry, "Ma'am, but I've been so busy and confused these days, did you forget? The old lady should have given the key to the treasury earlier." Yes, but the old lady was unwilling, and she told her that when Mrs. Yang presided over the central donation earlier, the key to the treasury was in her hand. The old lady also said that Mrs. Yang said that she should manage the accounts by herself, and the key should be left to the old man Everyone keeps it. No, Madam has just married here, so the old Madam said these words to Madam on purpose. The meaning behind the words is that Mrs. Yang never asked her to ask for the key to the treasury, and now Madam is here. , I haven't figured out the situation in the mansion, so the old lady will continue to keep the treasury key. At that time, the lady first came to the mansion, and the marquis went out on the wedding night. In order to please the old lady, the lady took the initiative to say that she didn't want the key to the treasury. , this old slave can't stop me..."

Ruan Tao: "..."

There is such a thing.

It seems that the original owner is not only a love brain, but also wants to get along well with the hands-off shopkeeper and the playful and wealthy mother-in-law, and love each other as a family...

But it is obvious that in the following plot, the mother-in-law did not love the family with the original owner. She was even afraid that her son would be born with her, so she blamed the original owner for the affairs of the few cubs in the house.

At that time, the original owner's thoughts were all messed up, both keeping the male lead and targeting the female lead, and fantasizing about pulling the mother-in-law on her side, but of course the mother-in-law would only stand by her son.

Therefore, it is useless to please the old lady!

Moreover, at critical times, the old lady will bite back at the original owner...

Mr. Dong Guo and the Snake!

Leaving the key of the treasury in the hands of the old lady is equivalent to finishing everything for the old lady, and offering the biggest bargaining chip to the old lady with both hands.

In the future, if the old lady bullies her, she will naturally have no scruples!

At least, the key to the treasury must be held in one's own hands, and even if the old lady wants to turn against her, she will still be hurt severely!

As for the hero and heroine who fell in love and killed each other at the border at this time, they have little to do with her now, but the key to the treasury has more to do with her!

At the beginning, after all, it was the original owner who pushed the boat along the way and didn't want it. It's hard to deny what he said, and he needed a reason...

While thinking, Hainan turned back to the garden, and when he figured it out, he understood, "Ma'am, the fourth son did not go to Hexi Yang's house with other young masters and ladies in the Hou's mansion. The fourth son's identity is a bit special, and he was not born to the Marquis." Instead, it was adopted under the name of Lord Hou from a distant branch of the Hou Mansion."

adopt?

Ruan Tao was surprised, "I remember that there is a second son in the Hou's mansion, why did you adopt the fourth son under the name of Lord Hou?"

"At the beginning, the Second Young Master was in poor health, and the first lady's thoughts were all on taking care of the Second Young Master. Neither the First Lady nor the Hou Ye thought about having a child so soon, but the old lady was impatient and tried every means to persuade the Hou Ye to take a concubine, but the concubine failed. Just put people in the room, Master Hou didn't want to, so the old lady had different tricks every day, and finally, seeing that the hard ones couldn't work, she came to the soft ones, crying every day in the ancestral hall, saying that she was going to die, and the old lady was very angry But the old lady continued to do it, and Hou Ye was so angry that he carried the old lady behind his back and adopted the fourth son from a distant side branch, and recorded it under the name of the first lady, so the old lady stopped doing it, for fear of really offending Lord Hou, Hou The Lord and Madam really don't want a child anymore. If the Second Young Master disappears again, the title of the Marquis Mansion will fall to the Fourth Young Master in the future. In this way, the Fourth Young Master adopted him in the mansion, and the old lady in the mansion also disappeared. Later, the Second Young Master's illness Slowly getting better, the first wife gave birth to the fifth son, but the old lady doesn't like the fourth son and the whole family is watching..."

It seems that this hero still has some courage!

The old lady is also quite 'courageous'!

It really is mother and son!

But it's no wonder that the old lady doesn't want to see this little cub, and it's not without reason...

Therefore, this little cub didn't go back to Yang's house with the other cubs, he probably came back after meeting his parents at home.

On one side, He Ma sighed softly, "This old madam is really not a cheap lamp! No, as soon as the fourth son came back, he threw the hot potato to the madam!"

It's not a hot potato!

Originally, stepmother was difficult to be a stepmother, no matter how much she took care of, how much she took care of and how little she took care of, there was always a point, the fourth young master was not only a stepmother, but also adopted...

While speaking, Ya Shi came to the outer pavilion, "Ma'am, the fourth son is here."

Ruan Tao raised his head and saw Lan Dai leading a mother in charge to the outer pavilion from a distance, and the mother in charge was also holding a four or five-year-old child in her hand...

Hainan said softly, "It's the mother in charge next to the Fourth Young Master, Mama Liu."

Ya Shi led Liu Ma and the fourth son inside.

"I've met Madam." Liu Ma blessed Fushen, Ruan Tao smiled, and her eyes fell on Zai Zai beside her.

Zai Zai turned his head away, obviously unwilling to call her.

Liu Ma tugged at his sleeve, "Fourth Young Master, call mother..."

Zai Zai hummed lightly, and didn't turn his head away, nor was he happy.

Mother He has a headache, she looks like a troublemaker!

"Come forward, let me take a look." Ruan Tao took the initiative to say, this time there is no headache, and it is necessary to 'make a good' first impression of each other.

Zai Zai crossed his arms, "Hmph! You are a vicious stepmother!"

Yo, this kid can handle it!
