Chapter 62 Being too clever can easily lead to trouble.
"oh?"
Guan Yunmu looked up and saw that she was holding a box, so he asked, "What is it?"
Jin Yun relayed what Shang Ruyi had just said. Guan Yunmu put down the book in his hand, opened the box and glanced at it. A solemn expression appeared on his face, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed.
Jin Yun quickly helped her sit down, gently patted her back to help her catch her breath, and brought her some hot tea.
Guan Yunmu coughed for a long time, his face still pale, but his eyes were much brighter. After finally catching his breath, he whispered, "This box of things, was it given to me separately by her?"
"no."
"Who did you return it to?"
"The young mistress brought several boxes with her, and as soon as she returned, she gave one box to Han Yuhui at the side gate."
"How did Han Yuhui end up at the side gate?"
Jin Yun leaned down and whispered, "It's about the repairs to the Luoyang residence that the Duke and Madam were talking about a few days ago. Han Yu Hui specifically gave the person in charge there five hundred taels of silver at the side gate, and it seems she even brought the account book with her."
At this point, she couldn't help but sneer: "Usually, she sends servants to her room to report things, but today she's been very diligent, taking the account book to the side door to pay the money."
"..."
Guan Yunmu narrowed his eyes, lost in thought and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't intend to use the fruit and snacks, Jin Yun put the lid back on and set it aside. Then she came back and said, "By the way, Han Yu Hui also said that she wanted to show the young mistress the account book."
"Look at the ledgers?"
Guan Yunmu's expression hardened: "Did Shang Ruyi see it?"
Jin Yun smiled and said, "Young Madam didn't see it."
Why didn't you watch it?
"They said they couldn't understand it."
"can't read……"
Upon hearing this, Guan Yunmu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Shang Ruohong's daughter, Shen Shiyan's niece, can't even read the account books? Does Han Yuhui really believe that?"
Jin Yun smiled and said, "That's right. Yesterday, the young mistress declined the housekeeper's duties, and today she went to the clinic to see a doctor and brought back several packets of medicine, saying that her hand injury needs to be healed for a while. Han Yuhui couldn't say anything more about it."
"oh……"
Guan Yunmu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something.
After a long while, she asked again, "So, what else did they say?"
Jin Yun said, "She didn't say anything more. The young mistress gave her the box of fruit she brought back and then left."
Mentioning this, Guan Yunmu added, "Didn't you say that Han Yuhui said some unpleasant things to her when we were at the villa?"
"Absolutely true."
"So she still gave Han Yuhui things?"
“That’s exactly what I find strange,” Jin Yun said softly. “If this young mistress isn’t too naive, then she is—”
"What is it?"
Jin Yun thought for a moment and said softly, "Extremely clever."
Guan Yunmu remained silent for a while before saying, "Those who marry into our family are too clever. Being too clever can easily lead to trouble."
Jin Yun recalled Shang Ruyi's restrained and calm demeanor when she faced her mother-in-law's lack of a gift, and said, "This servant thinks that this young mistress is alright."
Guan Yunmu glanced at her with some surprise, and said with a half-smile, "You can even compliment people."
Jin Yun smiled apologetically, "This servant is also thinking of Madam's best interests. If this daughter-in-law can save trouble, it will be beneficial to both Madam and Young Master."
"..."
Guan Yunmu remained silent.
After a long while, she sighed and said, "What's the use? In Ye'er's heart—"
