"Does the old lady mean to let Liu Yuner take charge of some things? Is it in the mansion or in the shop?" Wei was also making some calculations in her mind.
Liu Yun'er is not a good person either. If she is allowed to manage the household, wouldn't she become the head of the Marquis' Mansion?
Old Madam Qin half-closed her eyes and gave her a sidelong glance. "Stupid!"
"Ah?" Wei was a little confused. "What does the old lady mean?"
Madam Qin leaned back in her chair, twirling her Buddhist beads in her hands. "She shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the mansion. She's just a lowly woman from a small family. What does she know? If she makes a fool of herself, it will only bring shame to the mansion."
Wei was relieved and said with a smile, "What the old lady said is absolutely right. Then let her learn from Xie Wanyun to manage the shop. However, I'm afraid Xie Wanyun won't be willing to do that."
"Let's talk to her about this matter tomorrow. We can persuade her with both emotion and reason. She will have no reason to refuse." Old Madam Qin was actually unsure in her heart, but she spoke with confidence on the surface.
Mrs. Wei nodded repeatedly. "The old lady is really thoughtful. We recommended Liu Yun'er, so she must be on our side. This way, we can get a better understanding of the situation in the shop."
Madam Qin nodded and said, "That's right. This way, we won't be left in the dark about what Xie Wanyun did or how much the shop earned."
These two people actually forgot that those shops originally belonged to the Xie family and had nothing to do with their Qin Mansion.
The next morning, Madam Qin brought Wei to Nong Yu Hall.
Xie Wanyun had just returned from the main hall after assigning today's tasks, and saw two old ladies sitting in front of the hall waiting for her.
The Nong Yu Hall was quite lively these days, with people of all ages coming to perform.
She concealed the coldness in her eyes and said indifferently, "Old Madam, Madam, why did you come here so early in the morning? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Wei felt upset when she saw her indifferent look. But she still had to say something, and she couldn't let the old lady speak first. Knowing that Xie Wanyun was impatient with beating around the bush, she still said politely, "Madam, you have been busy these days, and it's really hard."
Xie Wanyun nodded and gestured for her to continue with his eyes.
Wei: “…”
Is there any mother-in-law as miserable as her? She always acts according to her daughter-in-law's mood?
Wei held back her anger and said, "Wanyun, you've been busy all these days. The old lady and I see it and feel really bad for you."
Xie Wanyun found it a little funny. Madam, you are already old, why are you imitating Liu Yuner's behavior?
"Well, then?"
Wei was so angry that her face changed and she couldn't speak clearly.
"We are thinking that it's inappropriate for you, a woman, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and young as you are, to always be in the spotlight. Not only does it bring disgrace to the Marquis' Mansion, but it also makes people think that the Marquis' Mansion has become a worldly merchant."
Xie Wanyun slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, his face calm.
"If the family doesn't rely on these shops to make money for food and clothing, then does it have to rely on Master Qin's salary? I'm afraid the little money he has isn't even enough to support Liu Yun'er. If the two ladies find business embarrassing, they can just use their own private money to make a living. I have no objection."
Wei was almost pushed to the wall by her words and almost couldn't breathe.
Madam Qin could no longer hold back and angrily shouted, "Xie Wanyun! Don't go too far. Your mother-in-law was trying to talk to you in a kind way, but you were being rude and disrespectful. Is this how you speak to your elders?"
Xie Wanyun's eyes turned cold, "If the old lady finds what I say unpleasant, there is no need to come to my Nong Yu Hall."
After saying that, he glanced at her sideways, meaning that I didn't invite you here either.
Seeing that the old lady was also defeated, Wei had no choice but to hold her nose and do it herself.
"Wanyun, listen to me first. The old lady and I are worried that it's hard for you to take care of so many things on your own. Liu Yun'er is now a member of the Qin family, and you are teaching Quan Ge'er. She has nothing to do anyway. Why not let her follow you and learn to manage the shop? That way, she will have something to do, and you will have to show up less outside. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
He finally stated his purpose, but he went around in circles for a long time.
A hint of mockery played on Xie Wanyun's lips. His eyebrows lifted slightly, his eyes darkened, and the faint ripples in his eyes held a chilling chill.
