On the return carriage, Quan Ge'er was in a daze the whole time, which was very different from his usual noisy self, which made people feel strange.
Yuzhui also noticed it, and teased him with a smile: "Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so quiet? Are you not having fun?"
Quan Ge'er nodded gloomily, still saying nothing.
Xie Wanyun glanced at him, a hint of amusement in his voice. "This afternoon, I was first ridiculed, then I got into a fight, and I didn't get any advantage, so naturally I can't be happy."
Quan Ge'er suddenly looked up and stared at her fiercely, his little face tense.
"What? Are you still not convinced?" Xie Wanyun found the child's angry look really interesting.
Quan Ge'er clenched his fists and said indignantly, "I won! Jin Bai can't beat me at all!"
Xie Wanyun and Yuzhui couldn't help laughing.
Quan Ge'er was even angrier now and angrily said, "Still laughing? You are a bad woman!"
Xie Wanyun put away his smile, his brows and eyes also took on a cold look, "So what? You still have to be under my discipline."
Brother Quan let out a sigh, he was so depressed!
That little devil called Jinbai was so cunning! Later, he easily caught him, but he was deceived by him with just a few words. In the end, he still suffered the loss.
Humph, next time I meet this brat, I will definitely teach him a lesson!
Brother Quan was secretly furious.
After inspecting the shop, Xie Wanyun began to officially exercise the power of steward.
Every day at 2:15 a.m. he would sit in front of the hall and assign the day's tasks to each manager. He would then come back to the hall to report at 5:00 p.m., and all matters, no matter how big or small, had to be reported.
If anyone does not do well, he will be reprimanded at best and kicked out at worst.
More than half of the servants had been laid off before. Now she carefully selected from the remaining people and sent away a group of Madam Qin and Wei's confidants.
Then he personally selected some new servants from the pawnshop.
There was a major reshuffle in the Yuanxing Marquis Mansion.
Naturally, some people were happy and some were worried. The most worried were Old Lady Qin and Madam Wei. They sighed and grimaced all day long.
That afternoon, the weather was gloomy and cold, and Wei came to Old Lady Qin's room to warm herself by the fire.
In order to save money, Xie Wanyun reduced the amount of charcoal distributed to each room by half. Wei was afraid of the cold, so she wanted to save the charcoal for use when she went to bed at night.
So during the day I would go to the old lady's room to use the heating.
The two old ladies' gossip naturally turned to Xie Wanyun.
After cursing bitterly, Wei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Madam Qin rolled her eyes at her and said, "Just say whatever you want to say! Seeing your docile nature, it's no wonder she has you under her thumb. After all, you're her mother-in-law, yet you have to live your life at the mercy of your daughter-in-law."
Wei bit her lip, thinking, "You're the same." However, she dared not say it out loud.
He could only say cautiously, "Old Madam, she's in charge of the household now, and the people who worked for us before were sent away by her. If she finds out about those things..."
Madam Qin's face turned stern, and she said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say? What's the matter? What can she find out? Don't scare yourself!"
Wei was anxious! She couldn't help but raise her voice. "It's that thing! That year we..."
"Shut up!" Old Madam Qin shouted sternly! Her eyes were blazing with anger as she glared at her fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Wei was so frightened that she trembled and immediately stopped talking.
Madam Qin closed her eyes slightly, twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said slowly: "Remember, nothing happened. We didn't do anything, that's all."
"But..." Wei was about to speak when the servant outside the door suddenly came to announce: "The master is back!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly shut up.
The weather was cold, and Qin Su'an wore a black cloak. He was tall and had long legs, which made him look quite heroic.
He greeted the old lady as soon as he entered. "Greetings to the old lady, madam! It's really cold today, it's warmer in the old lady's room."
As he spoke, he placed his frozen hands on the smoker to warm them.
