Chapter 402

"What?"

Yunxi bit her lip, unsure of how to begin.

Shen Rang tightened his grip on her waist slightly: "Xi'er, you are pregnant now, so it's not good for you to think too much. If you still have any concerns, you should speak them out."

With Shen Rang's words, Yun Xi had nothing left to hesitate about.

She nestled into Chen Rang's lap: "I know my place. Calling me half a master is an understatement. What if... I can't keep those people in check?"

Hearing her words, Shen Rang couldn't help but chuckle: "The power to manage the household is in your hands. Life and death are just a thought away. Don't worry too much. Fight them if you need to, sell them if you need to. If you still can't control them, come back and I'll back you up."

Yunxi was still a little worried: "But what if I'm too ruthless? Wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

"No, if you are too gentle, your subordinates will think you are easy to bully, and that will cause trouble later."

Being firm is fine, but being too gentle is the problem. The saying "a kind person is bullied" is absolutely true.

Yunxi nodded thoughtfully.

"Don't be afraid," Shen Rang reassured him, "I'll take care of things no matter what happens."

Yunxi smiled but remained silent.

Now that the power of housekeeping has been handed over to her, how can she let Shen Rang support her in everything?

She was indeed worried about what was going on, but what worried her even more was that if she used too harsh methods tomorrow, it would give Shen Rang a bad impression of her.

However, now that Shen Rang has said so, Yun Xi naturally has nothing to worry about.

I slept well all night.

The next day, the servants were to come to Jibai Residence to check in, and Yunxi, unusually, got up with Shen Rang.

Seeing that Yunxi was so sleepy that she couldn't even sit up, Shen Rang couldn't help but chuckle: "If you really can't get up, it's fine to lie down for a while longer."

Yunxi shuddered: "How can that be? You, Zirong, personally got this stewardship right for me. I won't embarrass you."

Shen Rang couldn't help but chuckle softly twice.

He dressed himself, glanced at Yunxi who was almost ready, and took the coat from Jixiang, putting it on her himself.

"If those people don't know the rules and offend you, don't take it to heart. Wait for me to come back tonight, and I'll get revenge for you."

He spoke gently, as if coaxing a child who didn't want to go to school.

Yunxi chuckled: "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need adults to back me up."

Shen Rang also laughed.

He carefully fastened the last button for Yunxi before turning to leave.

A short while later, Yunxi also went downstairs.

Today, Yunxi wore a light blue long coat with a blue brocade horse mask, which made her look even more dignified and elegant, a completely different temperament from her usual lively self.

She stepped out of the main house and saw that the stewards were already standing in the courtyard, their expressions mostly contemptuous. Some of them lowered their heads and didn't look at her, which was already a rare sign of respect.

Upon seeing this scene, Jixiang's heart sank.

"Greetings, Auntie."

The leader was a burly man with a shrewd appearance and a mustache, but his round face gave him a strangely comical look.
