Chapter 291

I almost forgot about Yao Susu.

She's not one to worry, so helping Yao Susu find a partner inevitably takes a lot of effort. In that case, the housekeeper would be a burden.

Besides, Yun Wan is, after all, the young mistress of the family. Although the scriptures she copied had some flaws, it was not easy for her to have such a heart. Therefore, now is the best opportunity for her to return the power of managing the household.

"Very well, since you've already copied the scriptures, you must know what's going on. I'll return the management of the household to you."

After saying that, Madam Zheng added a final warning: "Such a thing must never happen again."

A hint of joy flashed in Yun Wan's eyes, and she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Mother-in-law, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I will never dare to do such a big thing again!"

Seeing her sincere attitude, Madam Zheng gave Zhou Mama a wink, and Zhou Mama turned around to get the key and placed the small box in Pearl's hands.

"Now that you've regained control of the household, you probably won't be able to relax. However, you still can't neglect important matters. You should take the initiative with Zirong."

"Yes, daughter-in-law understands."

"Go."

Yun Wan returned home laden with the steward's power, and Pearl was equally delighted: "Now, no one in the manor will dare to look down on you, young mistress!"

Yun Wan smiled, her fingers tracing the box containing the key to the pair: "Yes."

Although the pair of keys had been returned, Yun Wan still didn't dare to touch the Marquis's money directly.

After all, under Zheng's management, the accounts were so clear that any slight discrepancy would likely be discovered immediately.

Yunwan and Feicui flipped through the ledger several times, but couldn't find anything that could be done.

“Young Madam, it seems there’s only one way now.” Emerald closed the ledger, her face serious.

"What method?" Yun Wan was utterly exhausted.

After spending half a day getting the ledgers back, I discovered that there was nothing I could do with them.

Emerald's eyes darted around, and seeing that everyone in the room was one of her own, she lowered her voice and said, "Loan interest."

Yun Wan was taken aback: "Interest money?"

Jade nodded.

"No!" Yun Wan's face was serious. "How can you lend money out like that? If this isn't handled properly and someone finds out, things will get really serious! At that point, I'm afraid I'll never have the power to manage the household again!"

“Oh, young mistress, you still don’t know enough,” Jade said in a low voice. “Not to mention other families, even our mistress has interest-bearing money. Besides, as long as we are careful not to get caught, the most important thing right now is money!”

With spring just around the corner, various banquets are inevitable, not to mention the need to arrange a marriage between Yun Ruiyang and Shu Ningshuang. All of these things require money.

Yun Wan bit her lip: "Really... there's no other way?"

Jade sighed, "This servant can't think of anything."

"You're saying my mother also lends money at interest rates, is that true? I've never heard my mother mention it before?"

“Young Madam, you know yourself that lending money at interest rates is important, how could I let you know! But the mother who manages the accounts for you specifically told me about this, saying that it is very common for wealthy families in Luoyang to lend money at interest rates in secret these days, and that if you need money, you can use this method.”

Yun Wan lowered her eyes slightly.

Even so, lending money at interest rates...

What if we can't get it back?

“Don’t worry, young mistress, we won’t lose it,” Emerald lowered her voice even more. “When you got married, our madam gave me some help.”

Yunwan finally had no more worries.

However, she remained cautious.

"Then... let's put some in first and see how it goes."

"yes."
