Qingzhu and Jiang Li looked at each other and were very surprised at the arrival of the servant.

Nanyuan is a deserted place in the general's mansion. In addition, Jiang Li is not liked by her husband and mother-in-law. Usually, there are only Jiang Li and Qingzhu in Nanyuan, and few people come here.

"Miss, I will go out and take a look."

Qingzhu said this and turned to walk out the door, fearing that he was here to pick a fight with Jiang Li again.

"What's up?"

After leaving the room, Qingzhu looked at the servant outside the yard with indifference.

"Please tell Miss Qingzhu that the general wants the young lady to go to the front hall."

The servant had a flattering smile on his face, and his attitude towards Qingzhu took a 360-degree turn.

Qingzhu stared at the servant suspiciously for a while, thinking to herself: What tricks are they playing again? It's no wonder that Qingzhu is so wary of the people in the general's mansion. It's really hard for her to have a good face towards the people in the general's mansion because of what they did before.

"Miss Qingzhu? Miss Qingzhu?"

Seeing that Qingzhu didn't say anything and just kept staring at him, the servant called out to him twice.

Qingzhu's thoughts were pulled back, and the servant repeated what he had just said: "Please tell Miss Qingzhu that the general wants the young lady to go to the front hall."

The boy's face was almost stiff from smiling, but he kept smiling until Qingzhu agreed.

"Wait."

Qingzhu looked at the servant again, then went back to the house and conveyed the servant's words to Jiang Li.

"Strange, why would the general look for a young lady at this critical moment?"

Jiang Li flicked her sleeves and was about to stand up when Qing Zhu suddenly remembered something and grabbed her arm.

"Are you going to blame Miss for Zhou's insanity?"

The more Qingzhu thought about it, the more he believed this to be the case. After all, the general disliked everything about the young lady, and it was unlikely that he would do such a thing!

"Miss, you can't go! I will go there for you."

Qingzhu pursed her lips, determined not to let Jiang Li appear in front of Zhou Qingyuan at this critical juncture.

Just direct all your resentment and anger at her, she will never let anyone hurt the young lady!

Jiang Li knew what Qing Zhu was thinking. She stood up and patted Qing Zhu on the shoulder: "Okay, don't worry. He won't do anything to me. Maybe it's a good thing for him to ask me to come over this time."

Jiang Li walked out the door after she finished speaking. Qing Zhu scratched his head in confusion: "Good news? What good news could the general have with the young lady?"

Qingzhu muttered a few words to herself. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of any good thing that Zhou Qingyuan could have done by looking for Jiang Li, so she hurriedly followed him.

"Miss, Miss, wait for your servant!"

When Jiang Li and Qing Zhu arrived at the main hall, Zhou Qingyuan was already sitting in the main seat waiting. In addition to the servants and maids, the housekeeper was also standing beside them.

Jiang Li walked into the main hall without changing her expression and went straight to the point: "General, why did you ask me to come here?"

Zhou Qingyuan, who was pouring tea, raised his eyelids and looked at her. Without wasting time, he directly told her the purpose of asking Jiang Li to come.

"You must have heard about your mother's insanity."

She knew that the general had no good intentions in asking the young lady to come over! He really wanted to blame the young lady for Mrs. Zhou's insanity! Qingzhu was furious and was about to excuse her young lady, but Jiang Li was one step faster than her.

"Yeah, I heard about it."

Jiang Li nodded slightly and admitted it directly and generously.

Zhou Qingyuan deliberately let people spread the news of Zhou's insanity throughout the general's mansion, so it would be hard for her not to know about it.

"My mother is insane, and I am not often at home. From now on, the affairs of the house will be handed over to you, and the housekeeper will assist you."

Zhou Qingyuan explained the purpose of asking Jiang Li to come to the main hall. Letting Jiang Li take over the affairs of the general's mansion was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Now his mother is insane, and his only brother is a useless person who only holds him back. Looking around, the only person who can take on this burden is Jiang Li, the young lady.

As the young master of a major business in Jiangnan, managing the affairs of the house should be a piece of cake for him.

So Zhou Qingyuan ordered someone to call Jiang Li over, intending to inform Jiang Li of the matter today.

The reason why the servants of the general's mansion suddenly changed their attitude towards Jiang Li was because they knew that she would be the mistress of the general's mansion in the future, and she would be the master who could decide whether they stayed or left with just one word. If they didn't try to please her now, it would be too late to be expelled from the general's mansion! Qingzhu took back the 40-meter-long sword he had drawn when he heard this.

Is this... handing over the power of the family to the young lady? ?

Jiang Li was not surprised that Zhou Qingyuan would hand over the power of the family to her. This was exactly the purpose of her defending the General's Mansion in front of the people yesterday and sprinkling nightmare powder on Zhou.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. What happened on the street yesterday must have reached Zhou Qingyuan's ears word for word, and what she said was just enough to change Zhou Qingyuan's impression of her.

People who are entangled in nightmares for a long time will collapse. When Zhou is in a trance and collapses, Zhou Qingyuan will think of her exoneration for the General's Mansion and will feel at ease to hand over the power of the General's Mansion to her.

But Jiang Li didn't expect that this day would come so soon. It must be because of what happened yesterday that Zhou Qingyuan completely lost his composure and broke his defense against her.

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded, and then looked at the housekeeper beside her: "Thank you for your help, housekeeper."

The housekeeper waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, the young lady has managed the shop in the city in an orderly manner. It is I who should learn skills from her."

The reason why Zhou Qingyuan decided to hand over the power of the household to the butler so quickly was inevitably because of the butler's recommendation.

As the young master of Jiangnan City, Jiang Li's abilities are obvious to all. The housekeeper actually hopes that the power of the general's mansion will fall into Jiang Li's hands as soon as possible, so that he can not only learn more skills but also have an easier time.

When Zhou was in charge of the household, the housekeeper had to worry a lot. Although Zhou was the mistress of the household, all the big and small affairs of the mansion, including several shops in the city, were managed by the housekeeper.

As he gets older, the steward is a little overwhelmed in dealing with the affairs of the general's mansion. However, something unexpected happened in his family in his early years, and now the whole family depends on him for support. The steward dares not say that he is tired, nor does he dare to complain to anyone.

Now that the young lady has taken over the general's mansion, he will only have to do things according to the young lady's instructions from now on. At least he can take a break without losing his job in the general's mansion.

After telling Jiang Li about this, Zhou Qingyuan didn't say anything else to her. He got up and went to the stable, planning to go to the training ground again.

The servants in the mansion discovered that the general went to the training ground very frequently in the past few days, leaving early and returning late almost every day. The servants did not know Zhou Qingyuan's intention, but Jiang Li knew it clearly.

I, the minister, will act diligently to show Your Majesty.

Zhou Qingyuan's absence from the house was exactly what Jiang Li wanted. After leaving the main hall, Jiang Li did not return to Nanyuan, but went to the accounting office.

"Find all the account books of the General's Mansion for the past year. I want to check them."
