The lord has already summoned everyone away, so what's the point of asking any more questions?
Qin Yuan was looking at the account books with great interest. These were the books that Madam Gu had sent by her maid so that she could familiarize herself with the affairs under her management.
From these booklets, one can deduce the expenses and social interactions of the Marquis's household throughout the year.
She knew that she was new to the Marquis's residence and not yet familiar with it, so she could only gradually understand the situation by paying attention to these details.
Qin Yuan was confident that as long as she could see the Marquis's account books, no matter which section, she could follow the clues and understand the Marquis's family clearly.

"You can manage the sewing room."
Qin Yuan stretched and squinted her eyes contentedly, saying, "Let's get familiar with them first. There's a lot more to manage later. As for those young maids who were reported yesterday, you can teach them first and pick out a few good ones from among them."
