Old Mrs. Tang stared at the bunch of household keys, not knowing whether to take it or not.

She rolled her eyes and looked back and forth between Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.

So what if Tai Jingwan doesn't want to be in charge of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion? She doesn't only have Tai Jingwan as a daughter-in-law. Doesn't she also have Jiang Jinyue?

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang put on a loving expression and looked at Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue.

"I am old now, so it is time for you young people to take care of this family." Old Mrs. Tang said with wrinkles on her face, pretending to be kind, "Mrs. Tai has worked hard for three years and it is time for her to take a break. Mrs. Jiang, I will leave the management of the family to you."

[My goodness, this old woman has some nice dreams. She wants me to be the head of the family. Does she want me to be the scapegoat? I won’t do that! 】

Jiang Jinyue rolled her eyes in her heart. She knew that the old woman was targeting her.

"Mother-in-law is really praising Jinyue. It's not that Jinyue is unwilling, but really..." Jiang Jinyue looked at Old Tang with shame on her face.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mother-in-law, although Jinyue's family is a merchant, Jinyue has been unable to use an abacus since she was a child. Others pay five cents for rice, but here she has to pay five taels of silver. Since then, my father and brothers have not allowed me to touch the abacus."

When Mrs. Tang heard what Jiang Jinyue said, her face froze and she kept wondering in her heart, did her son marry a fool from a merchant family?

...

...

Can't even tell the difference between silver?

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang no longer dared to mention the matter of handing over the power of the family to Jiang Jinyue.

It is not easy for her son to earn some money, so he must not let it be ruined by a stupid woman.

However, Jiang Jinyue is unable to manage the household, and Tai is unwilling to do so. Could it be that she has to do this job herself?

Thinking of the situation of the Gu family, Mrs. Tang was just about to let Tai Jingwan continue to work like a slave for the Gu family.

However, Gu Nianshu snatched the household key from Tai Jingwan's hand.

"Mom, since my eldest sister-in-law doesn't want to be in charge of the family, we don't have other people in the family." Gu Nianshu's eyes were full of calculations.

If she could gain control of the family, wouldn't she be able to control everyone in the Gu family in the future?

Thinking of this, Gu Nianshu felt that she absolutely could not miss such a great opportunity.

[Oh my god, this Gu Nianshu wouldn't want the power to be the head of the family, right? Just her? It's not that I look down on this girl, I'm just really worried that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will have to eat porridge every day in the future, tsk tsk tsk...】

After hearing Jiang Jinyue's thoughts, Tai Jingwan was stunned at first, and then she thought of the only two hundred taels of silver left in the Gu family's account.

"What my sister said makes sense, mother-in-law. Noble ladies like my sister Nianshu's age usually help with household chores at home. This can also increase your value when it comes to marriage," Tai Jingwan said slowly.

Nanny Qin on the side thought, now that the young lady has taken over the power of the household, when the cousin comes into the house in the future, the young lady will also be married, and it will be perfect for the cousin to hand over the power of the household.

"Madam, I have also heard that those noble ladies have been learning how to be the head of the household from the adults in their families since they were young. Our young lady is almost at the age to get married." Nanny Qin walked in front of old Tang and said in a low voice.

Nanny Qiao who was standing by naturally saw all of this and thought to herself, what a bunch of idiots, don’t they know how capable their own daughter is?

Still want to take over the family power?

I'm afraid you want to make a fool of yourself in front of others, right?

However, as long as her young lady doesn't mind, Nanny Qiao has no intention of exposing this.

"So, the head of a household needs to learn from a young age. Why didn't my mother teach me before?" Jiang Jinyue sighed innocently, "No wonder I don't know how to do it."

Tai Jingwan looked at Jiang Jinyue and laughed secretly. The daughter of a merchant can't do the math? You’re kidding!

Only Mrs. Tang believed this. Anyway, she didn't believe it at all.

However, if she were to become the head of the Gu family, she would have to make endless financial allowances. It was right for her not to take this job.

"Since Nianshu wants to try, then let her try. Mrs. Tai, you should teach your sister more from this." Old Mrs. Tang thought to herself, Tai Jingwan is the daughter of the Shangshu family after all, and the rules and etiquette were taught by a nanny from the palace, so naturally she should have some skills.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang looked at Nanny Qiao behind Tai Jingwan again, wondering what kind of reason she should find to ask Nanny Qiao to come over.

Nanny Qiao naturally also received the gaze from the old lady, but so what?

She is not someone the old lady can invite.

[Oh wow, Miss Gu is going to be the head of the family. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble she will bring to this family. 】

Jiang Jinyue thought with some gloating.

In fact, Jiang Jinyue could already foresee that Gu Nianshu would make the Xuanping Marquis Mansion a mess.

It seems that she should think of a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Tai Jingwan also had the same idea.

Jiange

"How come it disappeared?" Zhou Zhongan searched his body again and again, but couldn't find his jade pendant.

"Master, you wouldn't have lost the jade pendant, right?" the servant Zuo An asked with his eyes wide open.

"Shut up!" Zhou Zhongan was so depressed. He didn't know how the jade pendant disappeared.

"But, Master, if you don't take out the jade pendant, how can we get into the warehouse to get the sword? People are waiting here!" Zuo An complained to his master, because this jade pendant was not an ordinary jade pendant, it was the only key to their Sword Pavilion warehouse and it was also the symbol of the Master of the Sword Pavilion.

"What are you arguing about? Let me think about it." Zhou Cu'an felt helpless.

When was the jade pendant lost? How come he didn't feel anything at all?

"Master, please take some time to think about it. How are we going to explain to those guests who are coming to take the sword today? When Zuo An goes out later, his head will probably be blown off." Zuo An said distressedly.

"Okay, just say I'm away from home and I'll send it to them when I come back." After Zhou Cu'an said this, he planned to go to the places he had been to recently to look for it.

Maybe we can find the jade pendant back.

Tai Family

"You bastard!" Tai Hesong slammed the table and stood up angrily.

Originally, he thought that his daughter's carriage accident that day was just an accident, but he didn't expect that it was actually done intentionally by Gu Huaizhi.

"Master, let's go to the Gu family now and bring Wan'er back! Our Tai family is so big, can't we afford to raise a daughter? Not to mention one, even if it's ten or eight daughters, we can afford it." Lou said with red eyes.

"Madam, don't worry. I know you are angry, but we still have to think about this matter carefully. It is not enough to just bring her back. We have to find a way to make Wan'er completely leave the Gu family!" Tai Hesong naturally wanted to take his daughter back, but even if he took her back, as long as his daughter was still Gu Huaizhi's legal wife, she would have to go back.

He had to think of a way to make his daughter divorce that bastard, but that couldn't ease his hatred.

However, this marriage was decided by the late emperor, and now they cannot divorce just because they want to.
