Chapter 433 Tao Yiran's Dissatisfaction
Xin An sat in the seat where Wang usually sat. All the managers in the mansion came to her and placed the account books beside her. Xin An picked up one and flipped through it. The accounts that could be handed in were all pretty much the same. Xin An rarely took the trouble to look at them one by one. "I'm already familiar with the job, so I think there's nothing wrong."
As soon as he said this, he obviously saw a few people breathe a sigh of relief. His fingertips ran across the account book and he said, "Some of you have been in the same position for many years and have never moved. This is neither good nor bad."
His eyes swept over the crowd, "On the way back, my mother told me that some of you are very capable, but unfortunately, because of your good jobs, your abilities cannot be shown."
"I originally wanted to move all of your errands around and make them all managers, but you can swap responsibilities. For example, the one who does the shopping can manage the carriages and horses, and the one who does the carriages and horses can manage the gardens. You can all take turns trying it out."
Her mother-in-law said that the managers in various parts of the Marquis' Mansion have not changed in the past seven or eight years. These people all have their own ways of making money, but as long as they do not delay official work or damage the interests of the Marquis' Mansion, they generally do not care.
Xin An did this because all he wanted was to pluck out Tang Rong's eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, these managers became nervous and uneasy, and some were eager to try. She thought that she would be able to get a lot of information within two days.
"I'll say this first. My mother is ill, so I can't make a decision right away. I'll talk to her again in three days. You should also think about it carefully."
The situation is still undecided. This knife will hang over some people's heads for at least three days. Xin An raised his hand and said, "Even so, don't slack off on your work. In view of the poor health of my father and mother, I will close the house for three days from today. Everyone, go down."
The stewards bowed and left. Zhao was confused. Xin An did not explain too much. She was just wondering why Tang Mo went to see Eunuch Zhao off and never came back.
"Where did the second young master go?"
Manager Zhang stepped forward and said, "Commander Liao's men came to deliver a message, and the Second Young Master followed him out the door."
Xin An nodded, and seeing that it was not too late, she got up and prepared to go visit Tao Yiran. They lived under the same roof, so she couldn't just ignore her.
Of course, the main reason was that I wanted to see Tao Yiran’s son.
"Close the door and refuse visitors?"
Tao Yiran got the news very quickly, her brows slightly furrowed, dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Aunt Liu naturally gave another explanation. Tao Yiran just felt that the two old people were sick at a very inappropriate time. The old lady too, knowing that she would give birth at this time, she still went to the temple. The child she gave birth to was the grandson of the Marquis's family. Didn't he deserve to be treated with respect?
"Young Madam, the Second Young Madam is here to visit."
The new maid sent to the Tao family is called Wen Sui, and she looks honest.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Please invite the Second Young Master's wife in."
Xin An walked in with a smile, as if he didn't smell any strange smell in the house at all, "Is sister-in-law awake?"
"Young Madam is awake, Second Young Madam, please take a seat."
Aunt Liu saw the situation clearly. Whether it was the promise made by the Marquis' Mansion on the second day of the marriage, or the old lady and the lady's satisfaction and favoritism towards the Second Young Master's Wife, or even the Second Young Master's Wife's own methods, no matter what position her young wife held, the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion must be in the hands of the Second Young Master's Wife, and only she was suitable for it.
As a servant, you naturally have to please whoever is in charge of the food, as this is related to your own interests.
If you ask her why she didn't encourage her young mistress to fight for the right to manage the household, she would want to laugh and have a headache whenever she thought about her young mistress being in power. Besides, the Marquis's family is not blind.
Xin An didn't want to sit down. He just stood two steps away from the bed, put down the gift he brought, and asked, "Is sister-in-law okay?"
"My mother calculated the time of my eldest sister-in-law's birth and rushed back, but unfortunately she was still a few days late. My eldest sister-in-law suffered."
Tao Yiran leaned against the soft pillow, with a headband on her forehead. She looked more charming now that she had gained a lot of weight. "Sister-in-law looks even prettier than before."
Tao Yiran smiled lightly, "You're joking, sister-in-law. She's swollen all over after giving birth. I'm afraid she won't be able to show herself to others for a while. Sister-in-law has had a hard time along the way, and she looks quite haggard."
"Just take two days' rest."
Xin An felt that it was about time, "Is the child still asleep? Can I take a look?"
Aunt Liu smiled and took the swaddling clothes from Tao Yiran. Xin An stepped forward and looked at it carefully. "This child has inherited the good looks of my elder brother and sister-in-law. He is fair and clean. My sister-in-law is so lucky."
It's a beautiful doll.
Tao Yiran smiled a little more, "Mother said that this child is beautiful, and looks a bit like your elder brother."
While saying this, he kept looking at Xin An with a proud look.
Xin An didn't look at her, only at the child, "May I hold him?"
"You are his aunt, of course you can."
Xin An took the child with a smile, "It's quite heavy, he's a good boy."

The child's hat was crooked, so she gently helped the child put it on, and then returned it to Aunt Liu. She then said to Tao Yiran, "Father and mother have been sick one after another. The palace doctor said they need to rest for two days. The city has been uneasy recently, so I asked them to close the door to visitors for three days. I think father and mother will be well again after three days."
"I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law these days."
Tao Yiran is not good at being polite, especially in front of Xin An. After all, in her eyes, whatever Xin An does is his or her duty.
If your status is not high enough, you naturally have to be more diligent.
"I'm going back first, sister-in-law, take a rest."
Aunt Liu walked Xin An to the door and sighed silently as she turned around.
In Qiushi Courtyard, Chunyang and Chunlu were leading people to sort the things they brought back into the warehouse. Some of them were gifts for each family and had to be sorted out separately. Aunt Cuiping assisted them.
When Tang Mo came back, he saw her sleeping soundly on the beauty couch. Seeing that it was getting late, he woke her up and sat down beside her. "Are you tired?"
Xin An, in a daze, reached out for a hug, resting his chin on his shoulder, "I am quite tired, how are you, have you not rested since you came back?"
Tang Mo hummed, "When I came back, the capital was at its most chaotic, and I haven't had a break until now. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed, but now that you've said it, I feel so tired."
He also rushed back all the way from Huaijiang River. He has been busy without taking a break until now and he is a little overwhelmed.
"Now that you're back, my good days are back too. You don't know how pitiful I've been lately."
He truly felt the difference between having a wife and not having one by his side. Food, clothing and shelter were not so satisfactory. The feeling of having no one to care about him was really bad.
Xin An originally wanted to talk about Tao Yiran's child, but the words couldn't come out. There was a birthmark on the child's neck, which was exactly the same as Tao Yiran's son in the previous life. Although they had the same mother, how could they give birth to identical children with different fathers?
In her previous life, Tang Mo was cuckolded. If it were in the past, she would definitely tell Tang Mo directly, but now she can't say it out loud because it is too hurtful.
From today on, all of you will be safe, healthy, happy, and blessed. I love you~~~ (End of this chapter)
