PFC Chapter 9 Xie Wanning was absolutely furious
Chapter 9 Xie Wanning was absolutely furious
Just as she had guessed about Xie Jing, this child was only outwardly gentle and polite, but in reality, he was the one with the most independent thoughts.
Hmm, it seems to be somewhat similar to my own personality.
Soon, Qin Jiuwei's smile returned.
It’s okay, take your time.
In the afternoon, Qin Jiuwei summoned all the maids and servants of Qinglan Courtyard together.
“From this day forward, I will be your new master. I will uphold justice and reward and punish fairly. Those who serve me diligently and faithfully will be rewarded without reservation; those who are cunning and deceitful will not be let off lightly.”
Upon hearing this, the servants all lowered their heads in agreement.
Qin Jiu paused for a moment, then gestured to the maid beside her.
The maid understood and brought out a plate of silver ingots.
Qin Jiuwei said calmly, "This is a token of my appreciation to everyone. From now on, everyone should work diligently."
The servants' faces lit up with surprise and delight, and they all curtsied in gratitude.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Madam. We will do our utmost to serve you and the Crown Prince."
With a faint smile, Qin Jiuwei said, "Have the kitchen prepare more good dishes tonight, so everyone can share in the joy of this wedding."
The servants once again expressed their gratitude in unison.
Qin Jiuwei smiled with satisfaction.
Having lived in the palace in her previous life, she had seen and experienced far too much.
The best approach is to combine kindness with strictness.

Xie Yanli has not returned since he went out at noon.
Qin Jiuwei then took the three children to the main courtyard for dinner.
"Jiuwei, did you like the things I sent over this afternoon?" Old Madam Xie asked with a smile.
Qin Jiuwei gently put down the jade spoon in her hand and said respectfully, "The things that Grandmother sends are naturally of the highest quality."
Madam Xie nodded in satisfaction; this granddaughter-in-law was very thoughtful.
I heard in the morning that she was going to make new shoes for Xie Jingchun, and in the afternoon I discovered that she had also taken notice of the other children.
In families with many children like theirs, the biggest taboo is not treating them all equally, which can lead to discord among siblings and even family discord.
"I heard that all three children have had their sizes measured and new shoes made. I really trust you to get things done, Jiuwei."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanning bit her lip so hard it almost bled.
Why has my grandmother never praised me like this before! How could my grandmother be so biased!
Xie Wanning put down her chopsticks and turned her cold gaze to Qin Jiuwei.
The voice was shrill: "I heard that my sister-in-law gave some money to the servants of Qinglan Courtyard this afternoon?"
Qin Jiuwei said gently, "That's true."
"They're just servants; just give them their monthly allowance. Why be so nice to them?"
Xie Wanning slightly raised her chin, her eyes full of disdain.
“Sister-in-law, you come from a humble background and may not know that if servants are disobedient, you can just drag them out and beat them. There’s no need to go to such lengths to please them; it’s really beneath your dignity.”
The servants who were attending to Xie Wanning frowned when they heard her say that.
Qin Jiuwei said calmly, "Third Miss is mistaken. This is not about trying to please, but about the art of managing subordinates."
“Servants are human too. Only by combining kindness and severity can we truly win their respect. If we only resort to beatings and scoldings, they will inevitably harbor resentment over time.”
Xie Wanning's eyes widened, and her voice was sharp and piercing.
"You were just a concubine's daughter, what do you know about the art of managing subordinates? It's just that you don't care because you're spending our Marquis's money!"
Qin Jiuwei smiled slightly and looked at her calmly.
"Third Miss is wrong again. The reward money given to the servants today was taken from my dowry money, not from the Marquis's mansion's money."
"you you!"
Xie Wanning trembled with anger, pointed at Qin Jiuwei, but couldn't utter a single word.
She was absolutely furious!
No matter what she said to Qin Jiuwei, it was like punching cotton.
She didn't feel a single itch! That's absolutely outrageous!
"Wanning! That's enough!"
Seeing that the Marquis and the Old Madam were both a little angry, Lady Hou preemptively reprimanded Xie Wanning.
Seeing the glare from the Lady Hou, Xie Wanning's eyes immediately turned red.
Qin Jiuwei was so presumptuous just now, and her mother didn't say a word to help her. Now she's even scolding her!
Lady Hou looked at her with disappointment, thinking that her daughter was really bad at talking!
I argued with Qin Jiuwei for so long, but I couldn't win a single argument against her!
And then there's Qin Jiuwei, who is cautious and tactful in her actions, and never leaves a single word that could be used against her.
This looks really tough to deal with; we can't rush things...
Qin Jiuwei glanced at Xie Wanning indifferently, then continued eating in peace.
She had experienced countless arguments like this in her past life.
Xie Wanning can even get herself angry while talking.
They're really... terrible.
On their very first day in the palace, they were to be dragged away and beaten to death.
When Madam Xie saw that Xie Wanning had finally calmed down, she gave her a look of utter disdain.
Then his gaze fell on Qin Jiuwei, and his eyes instantly became kind and gentle.
"There's no reason to let a new bride spend her dowry money on her very first day."
She turned her head and gently instructed, "Granny Zhang, go and fetch five hundred taels of silver and deliver it to Qinglan Courtyard later."
"Grandmother, this..."
Qin Jiuwei was taken aback, as if she had never expected Old Madam Xie to do this.
