"Don't worry, I have my own way, but I have to take it step by step."
Taohua's eyes reddened, "Madam."
Gu Yunran saved them without asking for anything, but she always kept it in mind.
"Get me some water. I want to take a bath."
"Okay."
Zhuye turned around and went out to prepare water for Gu Yunran.
Perhaps she was really scared by Lu Qingzhou. Gu Yunran had nightmares the whole night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The day to propose marriage is approaching, and Gu Yunran is a little worried. Mu Qianchen has not yet responded, so what should she do?
Gu Yunran rubbed his brows with a headache, and saw Li coming. She was holding a thick account book and looked much more haggard.
Gu Yunran bowed: "Second sister-in-law."
"As a family, let's not talk about these empty formalities." Li hastily helped Gu Yunran up. She complained a little, "Yunran, ever since I took over the responsibility of managing the household, I've been exhausted."
"Second sister-in-law now understands your hard work."
Gu Yunran smiled. This was just the beginning. The hard part was still to come. If she remembered correctly, the money on the books of this mansion would not last long.
What's more, Lu Qingzhou is going to get married soon, so a month would be a lot.
"My second sister-in-law is the daughter of a merchant. She is smart and capable. She will definitely manage better than Yunran." Gu Yunran praised Li.
Li smiled and said, "How can I tell you that I'm just a merchant's daughter? My family only owns two grain and oil shops in the western suburbs."
"Second sister-in-law, you came to me not to gossip about our parents, right?" Gu Yunran had something on her mind and didn't want to waste time with Li.
"Hey, my mother-in-law said that the concubine that the Fourth Master is marrying this time is of a special status, and the betrothal gift needs to be carefully considered. I don't understand, so I came to ask you."
Li said as she handed a booklet to Gu Yunran, "Yunran, please help my second sister-in-law to see if it's suitable."
Of course, Gu Yunran had to carefully check the betrothal gifts prepared for Qiuju, so she took the booklet and looked through it carefully.
"Can."
"The Lu family isn't very wealthy right now, so being able to offer such a betrothal gift is enough."
Li sighed and said with some envy, "That's right."
"The mother-in-law really cares about her future daughter-in-law." She looked around and walked over to Gu Yunran and whispered in her ear, "The old lady has taken out all her hidden treasures."
"Even though I married a concubine, I'm willing to spend more money than marrying you, my principal wife."
Gu Yunran smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Second sister-in-law, the Fourth Master has married two women at once this time, a wife and a concubine. The betrothal gifts for the co-wife are ready, so I should also prepare some for the concubine."
Mrs. Li's eyes widened. "What is a little bitch preparing for? I'll put her name on the roster and I'll just pay her monthly salary starting next month."
