The corners of Shen Zongyu's mouth curled up slightly, full of indulgence.
"Wei Cheng, let her in."
When Yuan Xian learned that Shen Zongyu allowed her to enter, a look of joy appeared on her face. It seemed that her father-in-law still had the prince in his heart.
But when she thought about how that lowly wet nurse had actually become the mistress of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion and was completely superior to her, she was furious.
She couldn't understand why her father-in-law wanted to marry that useless woman.
Is it just because of a pretty face?
Yuan Xian forced herself to suppress all the emotions in her heart and bowed politely to the Marquis.
"Meet father-in-law."
Shen Zongyu narrowed his eyes, his voice cold and scolding, "Where are your good manners? Won't you pay your respects to your mother?"
Yuan Xian's face suddenly changed, turning blue and white.
Did she really have to bow to the wet nurse whom she looked down upon?
Ning Yu smiled slightly, "Isn't my daughter-in-law willing?"
Shen Zongyu couldn't bear to see anyone bullying Ning Yu, so he looked at Yuan Xian coldly with a murderous look.
Yuan Xian was so frightened that she trembled with fear. She saluted Ning Yu with a feeling of humiliation in her heart, and it took her a long time to utter a word.
"...Meet mother."
Ning Yu's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes flickered with a hint of smile. Thinking of how Yuan Xian once deliberately wanted someone to strip her clothes off, she pretended to take off the bracelet on her wrist.
"Good daughter-in-law, this bracelet is a gift for meeting you."
Yuan Xian looked at the worthless silver bracelet and was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no choice but to take it.
"Thank you very much, mother."
Shen Zongyu said slowly, "Now that the Changping Marquis' Mansion has a mistress, you will give the keys and account books to your mother later and she will manage it."
Yuan Xian was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief. She couldn't help but retort, "Father-in-law, mother was just a wet nurse. How could she be responsible for such a big responsibility..."
Shen Zongyu's eyes became sharp and swept towards her, which made Yuan Xian realize that she had said the wrong thing and she quickly changed her words.
"My daughter-in-law is just worried that my mother is working too hard, and she has never managed anything before, so she might be a little flustered..."
"You don't have to worry about that. I will send someone."
Shen Zongyu knew how important the housekeeper position was to the women in the harem. Even if Ning Yu didn't know how to do it, he would send someone to teach her one by one.
Yuan Xian didn't expect that her father-in-law was so infatuated with Ning Yu that he actually handed over the housekeeping power to a wet nurse who couldn't read or write. Isn't this a joke to outsiders?
Yuan Xian didn't want to continue being humiliated, so she found a reason to leave.
When Nanny Yuan saw Yuan Xian coming out of Jingtao Pavilion, her face turned extremely grim. She quickly went to greet her, "Madam, what happened?"
Yuan Xian smiled coldly and gritted her teeth, "Father-in-law actually wants to hand over the management power to a wet nurse. I don't know what kind of magic drug that woman gave Father-in-law."
Nanny Yuan originally thought that the Crown Prince's wife would meet the new mistress as per convention, but she did not expect that the housekeeper's power would be inexplicably taken away.
Nanny Yuan sneered, "Madam, don't worry. That woman is just a wet nurse. Even if the Marquis sends someone to help her, she's a pile of mud that can't be helped. Besides, will those servants really obey her?"
After hearing what Nanny Yuan said, Yuan Xian gradually calmed down, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Madame Yuan, you're right. She's never been exposed to it before, so how could she be born with the ability? I want to see how that wet nurse messes it up..."
Jingtao Pavilion.
After Yuan Xian left, Ning Yu rested his chin on one hand and said lazily, "My Lord, why don't you return the housekeepership to her?"
Ning Yu got a headache when he thought of those tedious things.
Shen Zongyu was somewhat helpless. "Everyone else is eager to keep the housekeeping power firmly in their hands, but you, on the other hand, want to push it away."
The world is in chaos, and he naturally has an ambition to fight for the world. He can't stay in the marquis' mansion forever, and it's even more impossible for him to bring Ning Yu to the battlefield. It's too dangerous.
It would be better to give her the power of housekeeper, at least she will have some confidence.
The system reminds you appropriately: "Host, please rest assured. Although your memories of the previous world have been sealed, once you learn a skill, you will not forget it~"
Ning Yu also knew the importance of housekeeper power, so he nodded.
Soon, Shi'anyuan delivered the account books and keys. Nanny Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Madam, all the account books of the Marquis' Mansion are here. Please take inventory."
Ning Yu was not at all flustered by the pile of account books in front of her. She slowly flipped through them and said, "Madam Yuan, I noticed that a few account books in the warehouse are missing..."
Ning Yu looked at Nanny Yuan indifferently, her eyes were so sharp that Nanny Yuan was frightened and trembled a little.
She was also a little confused as to why Ning Yu looked so natural and didn't look like an illiterate wet nurse at all.
Somehow, she felt that Ning Yu's aura was very similar to that of the Marquis.
Nanny Yuan quickly forced a smile on her old face. "I forgot to bring the account books from the warehouse. I'll have someone bring them over right away."
Ning Yu nodded slowly.
Soon, all the account books were delivered.
Shen Zongyu strode over the threshold, followed by an old lady in dark grey clothes, who looked capable and shrewd.
Matron Tu lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully, "Greetings, Madam. You may address me as Matron Tu."
Ning Yu's eyes were bright, and she had a faint smile on her lips. "If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask Madam Tu to help."
Next, Ning Yu spent three days sorting out the account books, and even ignored Shen Zongyu.
I just take time out occasionally to visit Pingping and Anan.
The candlelight was dim and swaying slightly. Ning Yu was leaning over the desk, his profile bright and delicate, his eyebrows full of seriousness and concentration.
Shen Zongyu said in a gloomy tone, like a resentful woman, "My dear, you haven't slept with me for three days."
Ning Yu's eyes remained fixed on the account book. She yawned lightly and said, "You go to sleep first. I'll finish reading it right away."
Shen Zongyu suddenly felt a little regretful.
If he had known this earlier, he would have given the housekeeper power to Ning Yu later, so that even though his wife was right in front of him, he couldn't even touch her.
Shen Zongyu had been holding it in for several days now. He strode over, raised his hand and carried the person on his shoulder. Before Ning Yu could react, the person was thrown onto the bed.
"I haven't finished reading the account book..."
A hot kiss fell, sealing her mouth, and it took a long time before he let her go, breathing heavily.
The man made a low sound in his throat, took her hand and placed it on the sharp object, "My lady, can't you just touch it?"
Ning Yu stared at Shen Zongyu's dark eyes, with a hint of greed in them, thinking that he had indeed neglected him in the past few days.
It is said that men are like hungry wolves after they start eating meat, and Shen Zongyu is no different now.
Shen Zongyu noticed that Ning Yu had become a little soft-hearted, and he arched his head like a puppy and looked at her pitifully.
Ning Yu found it difficult to avoid it, so hesitantly agreed for a while.
With cloud-like hair, flowery face and golden step-shaking ornaments, the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night.
