"Nonsense!" Xu Qing was furious.

He almost blurted out: "The princess is simply unfaithful."

After realizing it was inappropriate, he swallowed back what he had said.

However, he suddenly noticed that his wife seemed to be a little different than before.

Xu Qing asked, "Are you willing to take on this business?"

"I'm willing!" Yan Yunyao's voice was very soft, as if she was worried that her husband wouldn't let her answer.

Xu Qing suppressed her doubts.

Oh well, she's a member of the Xu family anyway.

As long as the money ends up in the Xu family's pocket, it doesn't matter whether Yan Yunyao is the one making the contact.

Xu Qing flicked his sleeve: "You better run the business well!"

After saying that, he walked away.

He was still very annoyed.

The princess is really showing no respect for the Xu family.

The position of Vice Minister of Revenue was highly coveted; everyone wanted to befriend him.

Aren't you afraid that the Prince Yu's mansion will cause trouble for you in the future by doing this?

Unexpectedly, the princess is not cooperating with anyone else and is still using pastries from the Xu family.

However, in Xu Qing's heart, his wife probably wasn't considered a member of the Xu family before today.

Xu Qing returned to her room, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

"My lord, something terrible has happened!" A servant rushed in. "All the pastries we sent to the Zhang residence have been returned!"

Xu Qing jumped up. "What's going on? Doesn't Lord Zhang really like our family's pastries?"

"I don't know either. The servants at the Zhang residence only said that they won't be ordering our pastries anymore." The servant was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Xu Qing frowned deeply. "It must be that woman's doing! I should have realized it sooner. Why would she be so kind as to let our Xu family make money?"

Xu Qing was filled with regret at this moment, and he decided to go and argue with the princess.

Seeing her husband storming out in anger, Yan Yunyao asked, "Where are you going, husband?"

"You still say that? It's all your doing!" Xu Qing said through gritted teeth.

"What have I done?" Yan Yunyao asked, completely bewildered.

"Master Zhang won't do business with me anymore," Xu Qing said angrily.

Yan Yunyao said calmly, "How about I go and take a look?"

"Do you think they'll want our pastries if you go there?" Xu Qing said irritably.

"It's better to try than not to try," Yan Yunyao said as she walked outside.

Seeing this, Xu Qing was dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to follow.

Upon arriving at the Zhang residence, Yan Yunyao asked Xu Qing to wait for her in the carriage and entered the Zhang residence alone.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Yunyao came out with a smile on her face.

Xu Qing hurriedly asked how it was going.

Yan Yunyao smiled slightly, "Lord Zhang said that he didn't know that our pastries were from our family before, but now that he knows, he will naturally still order from our family."

Xu Qing was overjoyed, but still had doubts, "Why did the servants at the Zhang residence say that things were uncertain in the future?"

Yan Yunyao glanced at him, "Perhaps the servant made a mistake."

In any case, the outcome was good, so Xu Qing stopped worrying about it and happily went home.

“Husband! The Zhang family was able to renew the contract because Boss Zhang wanted me to personally oversee things.” Yan Yunyao watched as Xu Qing’s face turned a deep shade of liver.

She secretly rejoiced: Now she's angry.

They'll have to suffer more in the future.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing flew into a rage.

"You! You actually went behind my back to have an affair with Boss Zhang! I knew you were being so kind as to help me out of trouble, you had ulterior motives all along!" Xu Qing pointed at Yan Yunyao's nose and cursed.

Yan Yunyao was stunned.

She had thought Xu Qing was shameless, but she hadn't imagined he was this shameless.

He could accuse his wife of having an affair just because of a business deal.

She sneered, "Then I'd rather not do this business. I won't tolerate you throwing mud at me like this."

Xu Qing was speechless; he truly had no better solution. But he remained resentful, feeling that Yan Yunyao was using him.

"Alright, since you're so capable, then from now on, everything in the house will be in your hands!" Xu Qing flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Yan Yunyao was stunned. He had just handed over the Xu family's business to her so easily?

"Husband! No!" Yan Yunyao quickly refused.

She wouldn't bother with the Xu family's business.

As long as she manages her own business well, all the profits from her dowry shop will be confiscated by the government.

From this day forward, the Xu family can forget about such a good thing.

Taking advantage of Xu Qing's careless words, Yan Yunyao immediately went to visit all the shops.

They retrieved all the account books from the dowry shops.

When Madam Xu found out, she stormed into Yan Yunyao's courtyard: "Are you rebelling?"

Yan Yunyao retorted without backing down: "Does my mother think it's wrong for me to take back my dowry shop?"

Mrs. Xu was taken aback. "That's right! But..." she suddenly realized.

When did Yan Yunyao become so eloquent?

They even dared to talk back to their mother-in-law!

"You're asking for it!" She habitually reached out to slap him.

"You dare!" Yan Yunyao roared.

They summoned Madam Xu's soul back.

She looked at Yan Yunyao and saw that she was calm and composed, without the slightest bit of timidity.

This is truly bizarre.

How did she become so sharp in just a few days?

"I advise my mother not to discipline me physically in the future." Yan Yunyao's face darkened.

What does the lady of the Earl's mansion have to show off?

Her mother was still the wife of a marquis.

This was the first time Yan Yunyao had spoken so loudly to Madam Xu.

Madam Xu then realized what was happening.
