Du Wan opened her mouth several times but still couldn't say anything. She bit her lips nervously. After an unknown amount of time, she managed to utter, "The old lady likes it very much."
"Since my mother likes her, I will naturally spoil her. But after all, she is not the general's daughter. If I don't make any distinction at all, I'm afraid people will find fault with her again."
Although she was seeking some benefits for her daughter, as soon as she opened her mouth, people would inevitably discover that there was something fishy going on in their relationship.
"Since my sister has already made all the preparations, the general and I don't have to worry about it."
"When the general was away, he often said that he had a good wife. Now that I have seen my sister, I think what the general said is true."
Shen Yuerong was supported by Qinghua and walked to a chair nearby and sat down.
They seldom met each other, so it was impossible for her to say such nice things.
Could it be that because of yesterday's quarrel, the two of them have come up with new plans?
Shen Yuerong nodded calmly.
"Sister Miao Zan, the general is not at home, and my mother is already old. All matters in the mansion have to go through me alone. Naturally, I will get used to it after a long time."
Du Wan also found a seat and sat down, not seeming to be in a hurry to leave.
"If I had half of my sister's brains, I could help her with some of the burdens. But a few days ago, I heard that Yue'er wanted to help her with the outside affairs..."
So that's how it is. He's here to lobby for Fu Hengyue.
Shen Yuerong looked at Du Wan with some doubts, and Du Wan quickly waved her hand, "Sister, please don't misunderstand."
"I have no right to comment on your thoughts. I just think Yue'er is smart and now she is of similar age. It's time for her to take over some of the family business, even if it's just to gain some experience."
"And Jing'er, after all, they are all biological children of the family. You can't always hold on to the power of the General's Mansion and refuse to share it with them, right?"
"I didn't refuse."
Shen Yuerong asked Qinghua to take out two account books and put them on the table.
"Yue'er and Jing'er are still young and have little experience, so it's inevitable that they won't do things well. I only thought about letting me take care of things for the sake of the General's Mansion."
"Since not only my mother, but even you, a pregnant woman, are speaking for them, how can I hold on to it and not give it to you?"
Du Wan looked at the two account books placed in front of her with a coveted look, but she did not show it on her face.
"These two books belong to two of the five major shops in the General's Mansion, cosmetics and food. Since you are the one pleading for them, I would like to trouble you to hand over the items in person. This is also considered as my delegation of authority."
"Then let me thank my sister on their behalf."
Du Wan took the account on the table, then turned around and left without any regrets.
She shook her head. "What a restless person."
After leaving the yard, Du Wan turned around and gave the accounts to the old lady for review. Although the old lady could not understand it, she knew that the seal on it could not be wrong.
"This little bitch finally had to give me the things obediently. I don't know what she was doing before."
As he spoke, he handed the account book to his two children.
"Now that this thing has been handed over to you two, you should concentrate on doing something and let her see it, so that it won't seem as if she is the only one in the whole mansion who can do such things."
"I know mother, Yue'er will definitely not let you down for your cultivation."
Fu Hengyue stood up quickly, his eyes shining, but Fu Hengjing just sat there without moving.
The old lady sighed.
"Jing'er, the teacher at the academy said a few days ago that you didn't go to class again. I could only say that you were sick and couldn't get up for a while, so I asked for leave for you. But this is not a long-term solution. You must not hang out with those unclean people."
"What is unclean?"
He raised his head and looked at his mother with a somewhat haggard gaze.
"Mother, do you really know what I want? I don't want to get involved in the general's estate at all."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you going to let me watch this family business fall into the hands of that bitch?"
"Mother, I have no interest in this."
He has no interest in studies, let alone business.
"Jing'er!"
"Mother, he really has no intention of doing this, but if you trust me, you can let me run the shop. I will definitely produce good results for that man to see."
The daughter's efforts more or less calmed the old lady's resentment.
"Then I'll leave it all to you. You must do it well."
…
When Qinghua learned that Shen Yuerong still divided two accounts to the Fu family, her face was not very happy.
"Miss, why did you finally give in? Didn't you refuse to obey until death before the old lady and the general?"
All of this was the business empire that his young lady had worked so hard to build, so how could she easily give it up to others?
She felt sorry for the young lady, but didn't know what to say.
"Those two shops have always been easy to run. The people in charge are all very responsible. As long as they don't get involved in the scandal, nothing will go wrong."
Shen Yuerong put down the accounts in her hand.
"I've been looking at the accounts of my dowry recently, and I always feel like something is missing, but I can't think of it for the moment. If you have time, please go to the housekeeper in the mansion and get me a detailed list of my previous dowry."
"Miss, do you feel like you've lost something?"
Shen Yuerong couldn't say, after all, the dowry was not small.
"I can't figure it out right now, but I vaguely remember that my father seemed to have left me something, saying it was extremely important. But now that I think about it, it seems that I have no impression of that thing since I got married."
Qinghua didn't know what the master of the Shen family had left for the young lady, so she was powerless and could only go find someone according to Shen Yuerong's instructions.
But the housekeeper, who was usually reliable, looked a little flustered when he heard that Qinghua was here to ask for the details of her dowry.
"To be honest, Miss Qinghua, all the accounts in this mansion are indeed managed by this old servant, but the details of the madam's dowry have never been in my hands."
"If it's not in your hands? Then whose hands are they in?"
"My young lady recently wanted to find the relics left by the master, but she couldn't remember where she put them, so she wanted to check the list. What you said, could it be that you destroyed my young lady's dowry, and you are afraid that my young lady will find out that something is wrong, so you don't want to say it clearly?"
The housekeeper was startled and quickly waved his hands to explain.
"Miss, please don't accuse me of such a serious crime. I really can't find the details of Madam's dowry. The accounts of the mansion's transactions over the years are all here. If you don't believe me, go and look for it yourself. If you find it, I will personally apologize to you and Madam."
After taking a look at the situation inside the house, Qinghua knew that he wouldn't be able to find it for a while.
