17 Her No.1 Son-in-Law
The mansion was handed back into the hands of the old lady, who was overwhelmed by the pile of bad debts in the accounting office.
"Where's Butler Zhang?"
This Marquis' Mansion had always been managed by Butler Zhang, so naturally it should be handed over to Butler Zhang now. At least Butler Zhang can handle these trivial matters, and she only needs to control the overall situation.
After all, she is old and powerless, and she has no energy to deal with these trivial matters.
Soon a servant came to report, "Madam, Butler Zhang has left."
When the old lady heard this, she was in disbelief. Could it be that Shen had deliberately forced Butler Zhang away?
Otherwise, why would Butler Zhang leave? You have to know that Butler Zhang has been a veteran of the Marquis' Mansion for decades. He has persevered through all the difficult days in the past. There is no reason for him to leave now that life in the Marquis' Mansion has become better.
"Did Shen force Butler Zhang to leave?"
The maid said timidly, "It's not the Madam, it's the Marquis."
What?
It’s Gu Youting?
Does this Gu Youting know what he is doing? He actually forced all the old people in the Marquis' Mansion to leave, leaving her with no one to use.
Since this man was forced away by Gu Youting, the old lady naturally would not go to Gu Youting to ask for an explanation, so she had to swallow this loss in silence.
Since Zhang Butler has left, it would be a good idea to hire another butler. After all, someone always needs to take care of all the big and small matters in the Marquis' Mansion.
Who would have thought that the maid continued, "The Marquis has already started recruiting people, but after many days, no one has come to apply. I'm afraid this matter will be a bit difficult."
To be a butler, one must not only be able to read and do accounting, but also be able to manage the household. This is not something that can be learned overnight. Even if the old lady wants to train new people, she does not have the energy to do so.
Now the mess of this marquis' mansion will have to fall entirely on her shoulders.
Unless Shen's takes over this mess.
However, judging from Shen's current attitude, it might be difficult to ask her to take over this mess.
However, she still has another way, that is Gu Haoxuan.
This Gu Haoxuan is Shen’s son. Shen may not care about the life and death of other people, but could it be that she doesn’t even care about her own son?
Mr. Shen is a man who values friendship and loyalty, so he might recognize the child.
The old lady sorted out the account book and then went to visit Gu Haoxuan.
Gu Haoxuan is also her grandson and the only bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion, so naturally she feels very sorry for him.
He is studying hard just to get into high school, so when he came back this time, Gu Haoxuan did not come to greet him. The old lady was very pleased because Haoxuan was a hardworking kid.
Now, she felt bad for bothering Gu Haoxuan because of such a small matter at home, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, someone had to take care of the Marquis' Mansion, and she really didn't have the ability to do so.
Gu Haoxuan was reading a book. When he saw the old lady, he immediately went forward to pay his respects.
"Haoxuan, meet your grandmother."
The old lady immediately stepped forward to help him up, "Good boy, stand up quickly. Grandmother came to talk to you today because she wants to let your mother take charge of the family again."
Gu Haoxuan immediately understood what she meant.
Do you want him to be a lobbyist?
If it was in the past, he would definitely say nothing, but now...
After thinking about it, he decided to give up. This Shen was just not smart, and he didn't want to be turned away again.
He is the future top scholar, so he still has to give himself some face.
"Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't. Before, I wanted to ask mother for some money but she refused to give it to me and even locked me at the gate of the yard to wait for her for a whole day. How can I ask her again now?"
What?
How could Shen be so presumptuous?
How dare you treat Haoxuan like this?
If anything goes wrong in Haoxuan's career because of Shen's, she will never let this bitch go.
The old lady comforted Gu Haoxuan, "Haoxuan, it's all Grandmother's fault. She insisted that your father marry Shen, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."
Although the old lady said this, she didn't regret it at all.
She just looked down on Liu, who was just an actress and not worthy of being in a respectable position. If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to Haoxuan, she would never have given her a good look.
Moreover, the Marquis' Mansion was on the verge of collapse. If Shen had not been married and allowed to provide financial support for the Mansion, the Mansion would have probably fallen long ago.
Although Shen had done great favors for the Marquis' Mansion, that was not a reason for her to be so arrogant.
Now he actually dared to bully Gu Haoxuan, and she couldn't tolerate this.
"Haoxuan, just study hard. This grandmother of the Shen family taught you a lesson. She actually dared to bully you. I think she is tired of living."
"Grandma, be careful. Shen is stubborn now. It will be difficult to deal with her."
Humph, not easy?
Then create your own solution.
Shen Jingxiang stayed quietly in the yard for two days until Xiao Tao sent a message saying that the person the lady was looking for was found.
Shen Jingxiang immediately became interested.
This is her son-in-law, so naturally she has to take better care of him.
"Oh? What's that person's name and where is he from?"
"That man's name is Yang Jian. He comes from Yangjia Village in Yuncheng. His family has been poor farmers for generations."
It looks like it's her son-in-law.
"Get ready for me. I want to see him."
What?
Madam, are you serious?
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Yang Jian?
This can't be true.
The lady is almost forty years old, and Yang Jian is only nineteen. These two people don't seem to be a good match at all.
"Madam, this person is a successful candidate in this imperial examination. If you go to meet him rashly, will there be some gossip?"
What gossip is she afraid of?
Besides, everything between her and Yang Jian was innocent, so what was there to worry about?
Shen Jingxiang looked at Xiao Tao in confusion, "What on earth are you thinking about?"
Xiao Tao said tremblingly, "Madam, are you attracted to that young man from the Yang family?"
Ana Shen rolled her eyes helplessly.
No wonder Xiaotao looked at her like that. It turned out that she misunderstood the relationship between her and Yang Jian.
This man is her son-in-law, what could possibly happen between them?
Besides, she didn't like the man who could be her son. She couldn't bring herself to do it because of her dignity.
"There is nothing innocent between us, and there is no love between men and women. The reason why I asked you to pay attention to him is simply because I think he might have passed the high school entrance examination and wants to develop his own power. If I do a favor to the new number one scholar, then will my future life be much better?"
Xiao Tao suddenly realized that this was what the lady was planning and she was overthinking it.
"Ma'am, don't worry, I will arrange it now."
