Capítulo 995: Chapter 993: Sches
Qiu Xiang, the person, has also stayed in wealthy households before, and hasn’t she seen enough of the family’s hidden truths?
Now, what Wu Lihong says about sending a manager over to help manage the properties under the girl’s na sounds nice on the surface, as if it’s for the girl’s reputation, but if they really take charge, in the end, who knows whose pocket the profits from these properties will go into?
She’s heard of such things many tis before. Once, a young lady from a prominent family was so naive, fooled by her stepmother, and when she got married, the properties her birth mother left her as dowry were less than thirty percent remaining, and it was a widely spread scandal at the ti.
Therefore, hearing Wu Lihong’s words, Qiu Xiang couldn’t help but feel anxious, even if Wu Lihong might not have such intentions, but keeping things in your own hands is absolutely correct.
Especially for soone like Madam Zhou in such an awkward position, if she really returns to that house without proper status and has no silver, it would be extrely difficult and she would be in a passive situation.
Just as she was thinking about how to remind Madam Zhou, Zhou Xiuer also spoke up.
“Uncle really loves cousin, always thinking of cousin everywhere. Aunt, it should have been like this long ago; you are the family’s matriarch, and these things should indeed be under your managent, how could they be managed by the daughter? If this gets out, it would be said that we’re not well-behaved, which wouldn’t be good for cousin’s reputation.” She giggled and said, “Now it’s all good, with uncle sending soone over, you and cousin can just enjoy life comfortably.”
Zhou Xiuer had another thought; if aunt manages these assets, her hands would be even freer, and if she pleases her properly, maybe even more could slip through her fingers.
Thinking of Madam Zhou’s clothes and jewelry, her heart felt hot and flushed.
And that Wufu girl, what good fortune she has, wealthy, and now with such a good father, if it were all her own…
Zhou Xiuer glanced at Wu Lihong’s elegant face, soone close to forty, looking just like soone in their thirties, really youthful and handso.
Qiu Xiang saw Madam Zhou’s stunned and sowhat thoughtful look, steeled herself, and gracefully stepped forward, saying, “Madam, this tea must have cooled; should I change it for you?”
Saying that, regardless if Madam Zhou responded or not, she went to take the tea cup in front of her, but with a ‘carelessness,’ tilted the tea cup, and all the tea spilled onto Madam Zhou’s lap.
“Oh dear,” Zhou Xiuer exclaid.
Wu Lihong furrowed his brows, looking at Qiu Xiang with displeasure, his gaze carrying annoyance, truly unruly.
Qiu Xiang appeared ‘frightened’ with a pale face, hurriedly knelt down: “I know my sins, I deserve death.”
Madam Zhou, not a harsh person, seeing Qiu Xiang so flustered, smiled and raised her hand: “It’s just so spilled tea, it’s not worth such actions, get up quickly.”
Qiu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and gratefully said: “Thank you, Madam.” Taking advantage of the situation, she stood up, said, “Madam, allow
to accompany you to change.”
Madam Zhou, feeling wet and uncomfortable, agreed, she nodded at Wu Lihong: “Mr. Wu, should I go change my clothes first?”
“Go ahead, be careful not to catch cold.” Wu Lihong coldly glanced at Qiu Xiang: “Serve your madam well.”
“I obey,” Qiu Xiang replied with an obedient face.
The mistress and the maid quickly left the garden, returning to the main house. After Qiu Xiang helped Madam Zhou change into fresh clothes, she brought her a bowl of longan and red date tea, then eagerly spoke up: “Madam, you absolutely must not agree to what Master said just now.”
