Chapter 273 Going Against Her
"boom!"
The teacup fell heavily on the table, and some of the unfinished tea spilled out. Madam Xu quickly handed over a silk handkerchief for old Mrs. Kang to wipe her hands.
Although Jiang was a little flustered, she had done nothing wrong today, so there was no need to panic. She looked at Old Kang's serious face and said:
"Old Madam, be careful not to break the teacup, or you'll hurt your hands."
This was meant as a well-intentioned reminder, but to Mr. Kang, it was seen as a challenge to his authority by Jiang.
"Are you threatening me?"
"What are you talking about, old lady? I'm just giving you a reminder." Jiang asked in confusion.
remind?
What a good reminder!
Isn't Jiang hinting to himself that after Chen Geng is dealt with, he will be implicated!
She really hadn't realized before that Jiang was a bold person, much bolder than Liu and Xiaokang Shi. She was so bold that she dared to make veiled insinuations against herself, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion.
"Hmph! Then I have to thank you for your reminder." Old Kang snorted heavily.
"I dare not. This is what a daughter-in-law should do."
Jiang bowed slightly. Although Xiaokang was her stepmother-in-law, she still had to show respect to her on the surface.
Little did she know that these words had made old Mrs. Kang angry again.
Aunt Xu was afraid that Old Kang would get angry and do something bad, so she quickly reminded her, "Old Madam, didn't you say you wanted to recommend someone?"
Old Kang took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion of punishing Jiang, and said slowly: "I heard that you chased Chen Geng, who was not doing his job well, to the farm."
Jiang's eyes moved, and the old lady began to talk about business.
"Yes, Chen Geng was in charge of the repair of damaged houses in the mansion, but he passed off inferior goods as good ones and embezzled money. He even found ways to deduct the craftsmen's wages. It was only because of the old lady's consideration that such an unruly and unruly servant was able to stay alive, otherwise he would have been sent to see the Jingzhao Yin long ago." Jiang explained the matter simply.
But she knew that Mrs. Kang must have known about this for a long time, and just now Aunt Xu said she wanted to recommend someone, she didn't know who she would recommend?
Old Kang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Jiang.
You shrew!
You want to send Chen Geng to see Jingzhao Yin, but I think you want to send me in as well!
"Chen Geng has been driven away, but someone still has to do his job. I think Huang Daqiang is a good person, so let him take over Chen Geng's manager position." said Old Kang.
Huang Daqiang?
Jiang had never heard of this man's name, but he had already decided that Liu Wu would take over Chen Geng's position as manager. If he made any rash changes, all the prestige he had just built up would be lost.
She was silent for a moment, thinking about what to say so that old Kang would not be so angry.
"What? Do you have any objection to the person I recommended?" Old Kang became even more displeased.
Madam Xu also chimed in, "Madam San, you don't know the people in the Marquis' Mansion. Since the old lady said that Huang Daqiang is available, he must be a capable person. You should just accept it."
Jiang pursed her lips. She must not give in, because once this precedent was set, she would no longer need a housekeeper.
"Madam, since Huang Daqiang is a capable man, I will keep him in mind. When there is a suitable job in the future, I will assign him to do it." Jiang said tactfully.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he rejected Mr. Kang's proposal.
Aunt Xu was shocked!
Did the third lady just dismiss the old lady's proposal so easily?
She glanced at Old Lady Kang cautiously, and saw that the old lady's face had darkened, as if she was about to fly into a rage in the next second.
"Jiang, didn't you understand what I said?" Old Kang's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Tolerating Jiang's private handling of Chen Geng's affairs today is already giving her face.
Now Jiang Group was just asking for someone to hire her, but she directly refused. Could it be that Jiang Group wanted to take this benefit for themselves?
Jiang understood, but she couldn't agree, so she just gritted her teeth and said:
"Madam, the renovation of the mansion has been handed over to Liu Wu. He is an old man in the mansion and is very familiar with the renovation. I think he will be more suitable than Huang Daqiang."
"Great! You dare to question my arrangements!"
In a rage, Old Kang threw a porcelain plate with snacks in front of Jiang, and the porcelain plate fell to the ground and shattered.
"Kneel down!" she shouted angrily.
Jiang frowned, and old Kang wanted to kneel on these broken porcelain pieces himself.
It's hot now, and the clothes I'm wearing are thin. If I kneel down, I'll definitely get scratched. But if I don't kneel...
Just as he was hesitating, Aunt Rong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted at the top of her voice.
"Oh my! I've never seen such a cruel and vicious old lady!"
"How could someone be so evil-minded to make his daughter-in-law kneel on broken porcelain pieces?"
"Isn't it just that the Third Madam didn't agree to your request to promote someone at random? Why are you making things difficult for her? Otherwise, you should just take charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you have to listen to your black-hearted old lady."
As soon as Aunt Rong started shouting, it instantly sounded like beating a drum. What's more, she was shouting loudly on purpose, so the noise was extremely loud.
The people who heard the noise outside the yard ran to find Su Qingwan to report the news.
What would happen if Old Mrs. Kang wanted to punish the third lady?
Old Mrs. Kang was already angry, and was suddenly startled by Aunt Rong's loud voice. After hearing what she said, she was so angry that she slammed the table.
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"Slap her mouth! Smash her mouth so much that it's open wide."
Old Mrs. Kang pointed at Aunt Rong and said angrily.
Jiang quickly said, "Old Madam, calm down. She didn't mean it."
Aunt Rong didn't care at all. She raised her eyes and looked at the old women who were about to surround her. She wanted to see who dared to step forward and die first!
The people in Rong'an Hall had already seen how powerful Aunt Rong was, and no one wanted to be in the front, so they all cowered.
"Why aren't you moving? What are you waiting for?" Old Kang scolded them.
Aunt Xu quickly advised, "Old Madam, calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger. It's not worth it."
"Yes, old lady, please calm down." Jiang also tried to persuade her, but she had no intention of kneeling down at all.
If she knelt down now, the old lady would definitely not forgive Aunt Rong.
So she sat firmly on the chair despite Old Kang's fierce gaze.
"Jiang, are you determined to go against me? Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
Old Kang's voice suddenly calmed down, and his eyes became terribly cold.
Nanny Xu saw the coldness in her eyes. In the past, the old lady would be like this when she wanted to kill someone. Now, she might really want to kill the third lady.
"Grandma Kang, my mother is a younger generation, how could she go against you!" Su Qingwan's voice came from outside.
When the voice died down, she also walked in. She looked at the ground and saw the broken porcelain pieces right in front of her mother. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Clean up the dirt on the ground. It would be bad if Grandma Kang gets hurt."
