Poor Lady - Chapter 71

Fang He immediately shut up.

“Miss San is lively and should be taken care of by another person. If you have any dissatisfaction with my arrangement, you can tell the master or the young master.”

Fang He gritted his teeth and said after a while, “Slave and maid don’t dare.”

“Okay, let’s go down.”

After sending Fanghe away, Qi Surong was thoughtful. The traces on Shuangshuang’s body are quite suspicious. She is not sure that Fang He and her aunt did this. She can only send another person to take care of Shuangshuang, so that they have some scruples, and then check it slowly.

It is not difficult to solve the matter of the inner courtyard of the Gu family. After all, it is only the family of the rich, and there is no complicated interpersonal relationship. Although he has a family property, his status and status are as different as clouds and mud when compared with aristocratic families. When Qi Shuo and Gu Chang made an oral marriage contract, they were in the midst of war and life and death were at stake. Gu Chang saved Qi Shuo’s life, and the price was his leg. That’s why Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun had this relationship. A marriage. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to get married in this family based on the disparate status of the two families. However, if Gu Chang didn’t lose a leg because of Qi Shuo, he should be a high-ranking official now, and with his military exploits, it is more than enough to be a general.

The Gu family did owe a lot to the Gu family, and Qi Shuo did not regret the marriage. However, the world is unpredictable, and the famous family of the past will be ruined and the situation will be desolate. In the last life, Qi Surong married Gu Jinyun in poverty and in vain. Although she was a famous lady, she would not humiliate Gu Jinyun in her identity, but her arrival not only did not bring any benefit to the Gu family, but instead caused disaster. But Qi Surong also gave up on herself because of the repeated blows, holding that humble dignity. Ignoring the efforts of others, I ended up in a lonely end.

In the last life, the doom of the Gu family was caused by her, but this life is completely different. At this time, the Eighth Prince was at the cusp of the storm, unable to take care of himself. The biggest threat to the Gu family no longer existed, and the rest were just some ordinary opponents.

What the Gu family has to do is to form a good relationship with the dignitaries in the capital and develop steadily.

Qi Surong remembered that not long after she married into the Gu family in the last life, someone started targeting the Gu family.

The Gu family is mainly a businessman, and there are three ways to deal with the Gu family. One is to send people to make trouble in the Gu family’s shop and cause all kinds of trouble. This method is considered the most inferior. Money, even if people are killed, they can’t be held accountable to the head of the family. The second is to buy other businesses and join forces to set up the Gu family, causing the Gu family to lose a lot of money without leaving a trace. If this kind of scam is used properly, the Gu family will definitely hurt their vitality, and they will be constrained in their actions in the future and will not dare to cooperate with others easily. The third, most sinister, is to kill with a knife. The design makes the Gu family offend the dignitaries and convicts him of a disrespectful crime, which can immediately make the Gu family pack up and leave, or even get killed.

Qi Surong has another purpose in rectifying the inner courtyard of Gu’s family, and that is to clean up some servants who have evil intentions. The Gu family was persecuted, and it was inevitable that there would be a traitor and outsiders secretly colluding and betraying the Gu family. She wanted to prevent this possibility in advance.

Three days later, Qi Surong returned the account book to Butler Li and said to him, “Butler Li is shrewd and capable, please pay more attention to returning the affairs of the inner court to Butler Li in the future.”

“Little understand, do your best.” Butler Li secretly sighed, thinking that after worrying for a few days in vain, he thought that this lady would see something, but who knew she was just like that.

Qi Surong smiled, without saying a single extra word, let him leave.

Butler Li returned to the room with the account book, flipped through it, and his face changed greatly. The account books in front of him were not the ones he had handed in at all, but new ones that had been rearranged. Not only were the records more regular, but all the places where he used to do things were erased without a trace.

Butler Li was in a cold sweat, his heart was beating wildly, and he walked back and forth in the room uneasy. Suddenly, he moved, and his eyes fell on the ledger again. Madam didn’t mention it at all, but wiped his account. Obviously, Madam didn’t intend to pursue it. She did this just to remind him.

Butler Li took a deep breath, put away his contempt, and really paid attention to this lady.

Then, Qi Surong hired three women with a lot of money, one was an etiquette teacher in the official family education workshop and was familiar with all kinds of etiquette rules; one was a female doctor who was good at tea ceremony (a pharmacist who was familiar with the art of Qi and Huang); A talented and scholarly female householder.

Qi Surong asked them to be responsible for the discipline of the servants of the Gu family.

The so-called no rules can’t make a circle, and the Gu family can be regarded as a well-rounded family now, especially after the care of the prince and the prince, it can no longer be as casual as before.

However, her movement was only regarded as an act of prestige by the Gu family, and she just laughed it off and let her do it.

The servants were dissatisfied. They felt that this lady was too tossing, and she had to practice back and forth for such trivial matters as serving tea and asking for peace. If she failed three times, her wages were deducted. After a month, many servants’ wages were deducted into negative numbers, and they felt so distressed that they secretly scolded Qi Surong. But none of them dared to go to Gu Jinyun to complain, and Gu Chang didn’t care about the matter at all, and in the end he could only accept his fate obediently.

When the training came to an end, Qi Surong called everyone together and said, “In view of everyone’s hard work over the past month, I decided to give out silver rewards to encourage them.”

Everyone was surprised and happy. The reward Qi Surong gave out was twice the amount of wages he had previously deducted, and several of the servants who performed outstandingly even received additional rewards.

Qi Surong added: “In the future, I will give different rewards and punishments based on everyone’s performance. Those who do not pass the assessment in the end will be expelled from the Gu family.”

Everyone’s heart froze.

At this time, everyone felt that Qi Surong’s actions were too perfect and blamed, and it was unnecessary.
