Madam Mu continued, "Fortunately, her old lady came to find me. If she had gone directly to Mu Sheng and Yun Xi, what would the two children say? She is an elder, but she did such a thing. She really doesn't act like an elder at all! Fortunately, Mu Sheng has always respected her!"

"We all see how good Yunxi is to Yan. Yan has grown taller and stronger in the past six months, and his personality has become more cheerful. It seems that he is well taken care of. Can't she see it? If she makes Yunxi unhappy, she doesn't need to punish Yan, but just needs to be less attentive to him. Then it will be my grandson who will suffer. He has lived in vain at his age!"

Nanny Qian suddenly asked, "So, you tell me, the people from the Xie Mansion came directly to you instead of looking for the master and the mistress. Was it Madam Xie's idea, or did the old nanny do it on her own?"

Madam Mu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he is a wise man!"

After a two-second pause, she continued, "Look, an old lady is more sensible than her!"

Aunt Qian: “…”

Madam Mu: "When Mu Sheng comes back tonight, ask him to come to my place. He must know about this. He will go to the Xie Mansion to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. Ask him to give a warning to the Marquis Dingyuan and his son, and persuade that old woman not to do anything idle every day. I heard that she still has a part of the household expenses in the Marquis Mansion, and she will never let go. But here I am, I can't even if I want to throw it away, Yun Xi won't accept it!"

Aunt Qian smiled and said, "The eldest lady is filial to you. Didn't she say that you are still so young and need to be taken care of for a few more years?"

The old lady laughed and said, "That sounds nice, she's just being lazy! No, that can't be said. It should be said that she doesn't think highly of the affairs of the inner house. Look at the things she does, which one is not more troublesome than the affairs of the inner house? Isn't she very happy doing them?"

Madam Qian: "The eldest lady is very capable and has done a lot with very little effort. She doesn't seem to be very busy, but she does everything."

The old lady smiled and sighed, "If other women can make a name for themselves outside like her, who would care about such things in the inner house? Women value the power of housekeepers because their battlefield is in the backyard. Once they leave the front door, there is no room for them to perform."

Nanny Qian said, "The eldest lady is just like you were when you were young."

The old lady recalled her past in the frontier when she was young, smiled and shook her head, saying: "I am old after all."

The first small setback that Yun Xi encountered in the new year was directly smoothed out by Old Madam Mu, and it didn't even come to her.

After breakfast, she and Mu Sheng went to the upper room to greet the old lady, and went directly to Yiminhou Mansion with the holiday gifts that had been prepared long ago.

Mu Jinyan did not follow.

"Dad, Mom, please come back soon."

Yun Xi kissed his little face and said, "See you in the afternoon."

The streets were very quiet on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Most of the shops were closed and there were only a few pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

Yun Xi and Mu Sheng sat in the carriage, looking out through the curtains, feeling the ancient festive atmosphere. Mu Sheng was quietly accompanying her beside her.

The carriage soon arrived at the Yun Mansion.

Even though he had become a marquis, Father Yun was still waiting for her at the door.

Yun Xi waved at him from afar, her fair little face full of joy. Mu Sheng felt extremely happy just by looking at her.

Father Yun also waved at her with a smile, feeling that wealth and luxury can only bring good things to a person. Her daughter has become more and more beautiful in the past six months.

When she got off the car, she said, "You don't even sit properly in the car, but you're looking around."

Yun Xi: "I wanted to see Daddy earlier. I didn't look anywhere on the way, right?"

She touched Mu Sheng and motioned for him to help say a word.

Mu Sheng: "Ah! Right!"

Yun Zhen watched and shook his head.

The Yun Mansion is a newly built mansion, built by the Ministry of Works according to regulations. However, because Mu Xuan was in the Ministry of Works, Yun Xi also got the opportunity to put forward design suggestions within the regulations. The entire courtyard was very much to her liking, and the overall planning and design looked much better than the General's Mansion.

Yun Xi walked inside, looking at the courtyard and room that Yun Zhen had carefully decorated, with brisk steps.

Yun Zhen came from a humble background and was kind to his servants. The atmosphere in the entire Yun Mansion was peaceful.

Needless to say, he treated his daughter Yun Xi even though he became a marquis. He did not show any authority at all and was exactly the same as before.

The three of them sat together and chatted. Yun Xi told the old man about her plans for the New Year. She wanted to open a restaurant and a dim sum shop. She said, "Dad, if you have time, please help me find two suitable shops."

Mu Sheng quickly pulled her hand and said, "Didn't we agree before that I would help you find a shop? Don't bother your father-in-law."

Yun Xi: "..."

She remembered that she had talked to Mu Sheng about the dim sum shop, but this was the first time she mentioned the restaurant.

Yun Zhen looked at the two people's quarrel and said, "Let your son-in-law help you. Your father is old and can't handle the things he has on hand."

He thinks that couples should do more things together. The deeper their entanglement, the better their relationship will be, and the more inseparable it will be. This is the same as having children.

Yun Xi said to Mu Sheng: "...Okay, then you can help me find it."

The old man always had a smile on his face as he watched his daughter and son-in-law get along.

When Yun Xi first got married, he was worried all day long, afraid that she would be wronged, and afraid that she could not bear the pressure of a wealthy family. Later, everything was fine. His daughter was more capable than he thought! Moreover, he has become a wealthy family now! His daughter herself is also a wealthy family!

He has no other pursuit in his life but to hope that his daughter can be safe and happy.

Yun Xi and Mu Sheng stayed in the Marquis' Mansion until the evening before returning. Before leaving, they said to Yun Zhen, "I'll come back to see you in a few days."

Yun Zhen: "Don't come back so often. I'll be staying at the farm in a few days, and there's no one at home to entertain you."

Yun Xi: "Why would I need to entertain you when I go back to my own home?"

Yun Zhen smiled and said, "Yeah, then whatever you want."

It was already evening when he returned to the Mu Mansion. He went to the upper room to chat with the old man for a while, played with Mu Jinyan for a while, and then returned to his own courtyard to rest.

Mu Sheng said to Yun Xi, "Xixi, if you have any problems in the future, you can let me help you. You can also ask Mu Wu and others to do it. You don't need to trouble your father-in-law."

"How can it be considered troublesome to ask my father to do something?"

"Then it's not a big deal for you to ask me to do something. I should do anything for you."

Yun Xi looked at him with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll find you if I have anything to do next time."

Mu Sheng was happy to hear that, "Your business is my business."

While Yun Xi was bathing, Mu Sheng was called back to the upper room by the old lady. She told him what happened this morning, which made him frown.

The old lady said, "Old Lady Xie has always been unreliable in her work. You can go there tomorrow to see the situation first. Although I spoke a little harshly this morning, we still have to maintain the relationship between our two families because of Ah Yan. Alas, if it weren't for Ah Yan, I really don't want to have anything to do with them anymore."

The old general said, "Marquis Dingyuan should not have known about this, at least he should not have known about it beforehand, but he must have known about it afterwards. When you go there tomorrow, you should mainly see Marquis Dingyuan's attitude. The relationship between the two families must be maintained, but if the entire Marquis's mansion is not in tune, it is necessary to distance yourself appropriately."

Mu Sheng nodded and said, "I understand."

The old lady said, "Okay, you can go back now. There's no need to tell Yun Xi about this. Don't cause trouble for others in the first month of the lunar year."

When Mu Sheng came back, Yun Xi had already finished her bath. She knew everything that happened today. After all, there was a system. Kaiyuan had nothing to do recently and was very bored, so she was particularly keen on gossip.

Not only did he tell the old nanny at the Marquis Yunxi Mansion about the setback she encountered with Old Madam Mu, he also told her what happened at the Xie Mansion today.
