“Come on, tell me one by one.” Chu Rong slowly sat down on the chair, and calmly looked at Zeng Qian, whose face turned red and white. “Sister Yun, please take the trouble to clean up the dishes on the table and make a few more.”

　　Sister Yun’s heart was beating up and down as she listened, but it was not because of fear or nervousness, but because of happiness and comfort.

　　Zeng Qian used to rely on the mistress’s support and regarded herself as half the master. Not only did she not work every day, she also bossed other servants around. Sister Yun was the cook and didn’t get bullied much, but another dull maid in the house, Zhuo Ya, became Zeng Qian’s main target because her job was similar to Zeng Qian’s.

　　Sister Yun is a kind-hearted person. She hates to see honest and well-behaved people suffer the most. However, the hostess turns a blind eye to Zeng Qian’s blatant behavior of taking the salary but not doing any work. Every time Zeng Qian gives all her work to Zhuoya, Zhuoya only gets one pay for doing the work of two people. Zeng Qian does nothing, but Chu Rong still gives her bonuses. Sister Yun is so angry that she goes to Wu Can to complain. Fortunately, Wu Can also hates Zeng Qian and directly transfers her salary to Zhuoya.

　　Because of this, Sister Yun and Zeng Qian had a grudge against each other. Zeng Qian always bothered Sister Yun to cook and make desserts for her, and also used Chu Rong to pressure her. Sister Yun was angry but dared not say anything. The salary given by the Fu family was the highest among the same level & she was reluctant to resign. If she continued to work, she could only endure Zeng Qian.

　　Sister Yun originally thought that she would have to wait until retirement to get rid of this angry life, but she didn’t expect that Chu Rong would let her vent her anger today.

　　Although she doesn’t know if this is the end of the trouble, Sister Yun is always satisfied. She thinks it’s a relief. Even if the hostess regrets it tomorrow, she won’t suffer any loss.

　　”Okay, Madam.” Sister Yun cleared the dishes off the table. During this time, Chu Rong said leisurely, “There are stray dogs outside, right? Sister Yun, when you buy vegetables, feed them to the stray dogs. Remember to rinse them with water first to clean off the seasoning and saliva on the vegetables. Otherwise, the dogs will get sick if they eat them.”

　　Is Chu Rong secretly cursing Zeng Qian?

　　Sister Yun smiled widely and sighed loudly.

　　”Madam, what did I do to make you unhappy? Why do you treat me like this?” Zeng Qian took deep breaths repeatedly and forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart. Now was not the time to break up with Chu Rong, and she couldn’t be impulsive.

　　She pinched her thigh and finally forced a pitiful expression on her face, her lips tightly pursed, and her brows deeply furrowed.

　　Chu Rong admired Zeng Qian’s acting skills. It was good. There was emotion in her eyes this time, and one could really tell that she felt a little aggrieved.

　　”Niannian, Xiaoyu, come here.” Chu Rong ignored Zeng Qian’s show of weakness. She waved her hand and called Fu Nian and Fu Yu who were standing there. “Did you hear your mother’s question just now?”

　　They might not understand the deeper meaning of Chu Rong’s words to Zeng Qian, but they could see that Zeng Qian, who was once arrogant and complacent, had changed her face and was begging for mercy in front of Chu Rong. Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s fear of her also decreased as Zeng Qian became weaker.

　　Fu Yu ran over and threw himself into Chu Rong’s arms. His mother spoke to the bad guy in the same tone she used to speak to him and his brother. He didn’t understand what a slap in the face meant, but he knew he was very happy. “I heard it.”

　　Fu Nian walked over and hummed heavily.

　　”Then do you know how to answer?” Chu Rong asked.

　　Fu Yu thought about it, and then said honestly: “Mom, my brother knows.”

　　Chu Rong grinned. This little guy is really good at passing the buck. So she turned to look at Fu Nian and said, “Then Nian Nian, answer it.”

Fu Nian looked at Chu Rong’s smiling eyes. He didn’t want to answer such a stupid question, but he suddenly opened his mouth uncontrollably and said, “Dad gave Aunt Yun money. Aunt Yun was specially invited by Dad to cook for our family.”

　　”Good boy.” It was rare for Fu Nian to cooperate so well. Seeing him answering questions so well, made Chu Rong feel itchy. She couldn’t help but stroke Fu Nian’s hair. Then she put on a noble and cold hostess’s face the next second. She looked Zeng Qian up and down with contempt. “Did you hear that? Even a six-year-old child can understand this question, but you can’t answer it. With your IQ, how can you continue to work in our house?”

　　Zeng Qian didn’t care when she heard the first two sentences. Chu Rong could say whatever she wanted. No matter how angry Chu Rong was now, she would always find a way to make Chu Rong change her mind afterward.

　　But Chu Rong’s last sentence made Zeng Qian completely panic. What did Chu Rong mean? Was she going to fire her? How dare Chu Rong do that?

　　”What do you mean by that?” Zeng Qian was confused and stopped pretending. Her pitiful expression disappeared, and her eyes widened like bells. “You want to fire me?”

　　Chu Rong was weak in front of Fu Nian and Fu Yu, so she didn’t need to act like a grandson in front of Zeng Qian. Anyway, she had figured it out. She had to resign sooner or later. Instead of keeping this time bomb around to threaten Fu Nian and Fu Yu from time to time, bully other servants frequently, and instigate trouble in her ears, it would be better to let her go as soon as possible.

　　Anyway, what Zeng Qian did was much more excessive than the original owner. Chu Rong didn’t think Zeng Qian had the courage to expose it directly. Once the truth was revealed, Zeng Qian would definitely die faster than her.

　　Fu Nian stared at Chu Rong who was thinking deeply. Would she? Would she fire Zeng Qian? The doubts that had accumulated in Fu Nian’s heart for a whole day and night had now swelled to a peak, and Chu Rong’s final decision must be the key to piercing the doubts. If Chu Rong really fired Zeng Qian, then the incredible guess in Fu Nian’s heart would come true…

　　He was really too nervous. Among the people present, perhaps only Zeng Qian could compare with Fu Nian.

　　However, Zeng Qian was more incredulous and angry. She was a cannon fodder character mentioned briefly in the original novel. Although she was a villain, she didn’t have much brains, so there was no room for writing. Chu Rong was very satisfied with Zeng Qian’s reaction. The bigger her reaction, the less of a threat she posed to him.

　　”It’s not that I want to fire you,” Chu Rong slowly stood up with the help of the table, a dark light flashed in her clear eyes – that was the sharpness and oppression Zeng Qian had never seen in Chu Rong’s eyes. She stared blankly at Chu Rong’s bright smile, her lips without lipstick gently opened and closed, “You have been fired, Miss Zeng Qian.”

　　It was like a thunderclap, hitting Zeng Qian and Fu Nian on the head at the same time.

　　Fu Nian’s tightly clenched fist suddenly loosened, and he let out a deep breath as if relieved of a heavy burden, causing Chu Rong to look at him, “What’s wrong?”

　　Fu Nian’s mood was indescribable. His throat was blocked by the surging emotions in his heart, and he couldn’t make a sound. This time, when Chu Rong cast her eyes, Fu Nian completely met her concerned eyes.

　　”You are, you are…” Fu Nian opened his mouth, “You are…?”

　　Chu Rong didn’t hear clearly what Fu Nian was saying. Fu Nian had this problem. Sometimes he spoke vaguely, wanting others to hear him, but not wanting others to hear him at the same time.

　　However, Chu Rong was very patient with Fu Nian. Just as she was about to ask what Fu Nian had just said, she was interrupted by Zeng Qian’s hysterical questioning: “Chu Rong, you dare to fire me? How dare you? Don’t forget that I still have the evidence against you. If you dare to do this to me, I will definitely tell Mr. Fu about you!”

　　Chu Rong thought Zeng Qian was threatening her with the fact that she abused her stepson. She curled her lips and said, “You threaten me? What do you want to threaten me with? Before you threaten me, consider your own fate first.”

　　When it comes to cruelty and viciousness, Zeng Qian is the heavyweight.

　　Zeng Qian smiled indifferently, “Chu Rong, it seems that you have really forgotten how you became a rich man’s wife? What did you swear to me back then? Think about it carefully. If you dare to kick me out of the Fu family today, I guarantee that your bad deeds will be on the headlines of various media tomorrow.”

　　What Zeng Qian said was beyond Chu Rong’s expectations. She frowned slightly. Could it be that there was something fishy going on between the original owner and Zeng Qian that she didn’t know about? Was the original owner spoiling Zeng Qian not just because she was stupid, but also because of some other hidden reason?

　　The original text never mentioned what Zeng Qian knew about Chu Rong.

　　According to Zeng Qian, Chu Rong knew her before she married Fu Ruhui?

　　What is the secret that makes Zeng Qian so sure that Chu Rong will not break up with her?

　　Seeing Chu Rong in hesitation, Zeng Qian laughed triumphantly. She knew that Chu Rong would never be able to stand up and would be trampled under her feet. Even if Chu Rong was Mrs. Fu in name, so what? She could play Mrs. Fu in the palm of her hand. She was the real mistress of the Fu family!

　　Chu Rong’s contemplation made Fu Nian’s heart sink. He bit his lip and reached out to pull Chu Rong’s hand.

　　”Hmm?” Chu Rong lowered her head and looked at him, “Niannian, what’s wrong? Are you hungry?”

　　Fu Nian took a deep breath and said word by word: “Didn’t you say that I can make the decision on anything in this family?”

　　Chu Rong was stunned, looking at the tears flashing in Fu Nian’s eyes, a little puzzled as to why the child’s eyes were red.

　　Are you still afraid of Zeng Qian? Chu Rong vaguely guessed what Fu Nian wanted to say, and she nodded slowly and firmly, “Of course.”

　　”I want to fire her.” Fu Nian slowly turned around and faced Zeng Qian. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Zeng Qian, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

　　Chu Rong looked deeply at the back of Fu Nian’s head. Was he afraid? Fu Nian’s fear, disgust and hatred for Zeng Qian were even greater than Chu Rong’s. Chu Rong wanted to make her suffer, but Fu Nian had felt Zeng Qian’s murderous intent more than once under Zeng Qian’s torture.

　　Zeng Qian pinched his or Fu Yu’s neck many times, wishing she could strangle them to death on the spot.

So, “Get her out of my house.”

　　The childish voice was trembling, expressing determination, joy, fear, and anxiety.

　　He was not sure whether Chu Rong would satisfy his wishes. He knew a lot and knew that Chu Rong was hesitating because of Zeng Qian’s threats. So Fu Nian was not sure whether Chu Rong would succumb to Zeng Qian’s threats. If Chu Rong succumbed, then he and Fu Yu would never get ahead.

　　Chu Rong understood his fear.

　　Fu Nian’s desperate back made Chu Rong feel sad.

　　He shouldn’t be like this.

　　The cruelty of others destroyed his childhood, and it will take him a lifetime to heal.

　　Chu Rong sighed softly. She pulled Fu Nian into her arms from behind and leaned against Fu Yu.

　　”Don’t be afraid, Niannian.”

　　”Mom will always be on your side.”
