After Jiang Qianniang left, Jiang's status in the Han family did change.
The Han family's inner courtyard was originally managed by Old Lady Han and several old housekeepers. At Han Yunqian's suggestion, Jiang began to intervene in the Han family's household affairs. The Han family was a typical family with men as the head of the family. When Old Lady Han was away from home, everyone in the Han family, including Old Lady Han, obeyed Han Yunqian's orders, and no one raised any objections.
Fortunately, Jiang was a smart person and had learned how to be a housekeeper when she was in the Jiang family, so these things were not difficult for her to do and she was happy to be busy.
The women of the Han family originally didn't socialize much, rarely even attending ordinary banquets. This was strange to Jiang when she first married in. In her impression, the women of wealthy families, while reserved for public appearances, were known to socialize and attend social events, often leaving the house a few times a month. However, Mrs. Han and Miss Han were practically lifeless. Jiang would even have to report to Mrs. Han in detail before going out to meet someone or attend a banquet.
Now that Old Master Han, whom Jiang feared, was not at home, she had a home that could be used as a part of the Han family. Jiang began to interact with the women of almost every family around her, and sometimes she would go out to attend gatherings of these women.
The old lady of the Han family was a little unhappy at first, thinking that Jiang had broken the rules set by Old Master Han, but Han Yunqian didn't say anything, so Old Lady Han just let her be. However, Old Lady Han simply stopped going out and stayed in her yard all day, trying to avoid seeing anything.
Han Yunqian did not prevent Jiang from interacting with other women, and even had the housekeeper allocate a monthly travel allowance for her, which made Jiang very fond of Han Yunqian. However, Han Yunqian asked Jiang to take Han You with her when she went out, if the occasion was appropriate, and to teach her the ways of the world.
Han Yunqian's request was so serious, and Jiang Shi didn't refuse. She always took Han You with her when she went out. Perhaps out of consideration for his future in the Han family, Jiang Shi was very dedicated in teaching Han You, just like a wife teaching her daughter about to get married. This made Han You feel very close to Jiang Shi. He enjoyed going out with her.
Han Yunqian was very grateful for Jiang's guidance of Han You. Not only did he thank her several times, but he was also very generous with Jiang's material things. In this way, everyone was happy.
At the same time, Han Yunqian was also dealing with matters with the Ren family.
The Gao family agreed to give the Ren family three years to raise the debt, but if the Ren family still couldn't pay it back within three years, the entire Ren family house would be owned by the Gao family. After careful consideration, the head of the Ren family finally agreed, of course without telling Mrs. Ren.
Master Ren, the head of the Ren family, had a clear understanding. The only way for the Ren family to escape their current predicament was to recover the treasure left behind by the previous owner of the house. If three years wasn't enough for them to find it, then the chances of finding it later would be slim. Or perhaps the so-called treasure didn't even exist.
So the Ren family began to build a large-scale house.
They claimed to be digging wells in the house to improve its feng shui, but in reality, the wells had already been dug through. The Ren family seemed determined to dig deep to uncover the hidden treasure.
Ren Yaoqi had also heard about the Ren family's digging and filling around in the house, so he naturally knew what they were looking for better than anyone else. He could only sigh and shake his head and smile.
