"Anyway, I still have to thank you today. Fortunately, you calmed the wet nurse down." The wet nurse would have a seizure whenever she was stimulated, and he was grateful for this.

"If there is anything that requires my presence in the future, just send someone to the front yard to find Shao Ke. If you need a carriage, ask Uncle Lu to drive. Aunt Zhang at the second gate is the most greedy person. If you need to pass on information, you can find her."

Lin Yulan smiled and nodded, "Okay, my lord. I'll remember it all."

Shao Xun smiled, glanced at her, and thought to himself that he had misjudged her. The new wife was much more capable than he originally thought, and he was afraid that she might not need his help.

Good.

At least it saves trouble.

Shao Xun simply didn't go out in the afternoon, and the two of them had lunch together.

After lunch, Shao Xun ordered Madam Qi to call all the maids and servants serving in the courtyard to come and pay their respects to the mistress.

Lin Yulan did not refuse. Just by sitting next to her, he had already expressed his attitude. His stern face, as if he was ready to find trouble at any time, was even more intimidating.

The maids and servants, big and small, were extremely honest and respectful.

Some of the sweet-talkers even took the initiative to say a lot of flattering words.

Lin Yulan ordered Xiaoqu to distribute the gifts that had been prepared long ago. Each person received a purse, which contained a pair of hollow silver cakes. The difference between the maids and the older maids was the size of the cakes.

Nanny Qi was in charge of all the affairs in the courtyard. Besides her, there were four first-class maids, Cai Lian, Feng He, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xing, who served in the house.

There were also four maids and servants who were responsible for other chores in the courtyard.

The work of the maids was arranged by Madam Qi, while the four older maids were responsible for their own tasks and waited for Lin Yulan to tell them.

Lin Yulan said some polite words with a smile, saying only that Xiaoqu would be in charge of the affairs in the house, and the four of them could discuss it themselves and whoever was good at it would do what.

"I don't have so many rules here. Wouldn't it be nice to live a more relaxed life at home? As long as you do your duty well and abide by the law, you will always have a good future. I won't treat you unfairly."

"If there are those who are disloyal, deceiving their superiors and hiding things from their subordinates, I will make it clear that I will not tolerate it. Do you understand?"

The four maids nodded quickly.

Cai Lian smiled and said boldly, "Madam, you are so kind and compassionate. It is a blessing for us servants. If we do not serve you well and do not appreciate our blessings, it will be unforgivable."

Lin Yulan smiled and nodded at her.

Shao Xun snorted and laughed, "I don't care what you say, I only care what you do. What's the point of saying all these beautiful things? You'd better remember what you said today, there is a long way to go. If anyone says one thing and does another, humph, I will kick her half to death first, and then drag her out to be a servant who raises livestock on the farm!"

The faces of several maids turned red and white.

Especially Cai Lian, who had just taken the initiative to express her opinion, felt for no reason that these words were directed at her and were a warning to herself. She lowered her head and trembled slightly.

Being paired with a servant, and a servant who raises livestock in a farm, is too horrible...

Some people were originally ready to have some romantic thoughts, thinking that since the Marquis had married, it would be natural for him to have one or two concubines. Then, would they have a chance? After hearing what he said, they immediately gave up all their thoughts.

The Marquis is not a normal man. Only a very desperate person would want to have such an idea about him.

Lin Yulan was speechless for a while and secretly suppressed her laughter.

He is worthy of being the well-known marquis!

Only he could say such words.

However, it sounds quite satisfying.

"Ma'am, am I right?"

Shao Xun turned and looked at Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan nodded with a smile, gentle and soft: "My Lord, what you said makes sense."

At the family dinner in the evening, Lin Yulan took Xiaoqu and Cailian there first, and chatted with Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu.

The three sisters Shao Zhixin felt very guilty about what happened today. They specially apologized to Lin Yulan, saying that they did not expect it to be like that.

Lin Yulan didn't bother with them and gently and kindly let it go.

Fu and Shao Zhixin, mother and daughter, exchanged glances calmly and were secretly proud of themselves.

It was said that Lin didn't dare to get angry, and it turned out to be true.

Guess she knows the truth.

Mrs. Fu always liked to push her luck, and she laughed and said, "Why did my niece-in-law come alone? Ah Xun is really something, he doesn't even know how to treat my niece-in-law well when he was newly married! Although he was very unhappy when the marriage was discussed before, now that my niece-in-law has entered the family, she is his legitimate wife, and he is too disrespectful to her. My niece-in-law, you must not spoil him, you must say what you should say and express your position, and make him know where he is wrong. Otherwise, he will not think he did anything wrong, and my niece-in-law will be wronged in vain. As an aunt, I can't stand it anymore!"

Lin Yulan was speechless for a while.

Fu's words were so precise that she knew without even thinking what would happen if Lin Yuwei heard them.

But she is not Lin Yuwei.

"What Second Aunt said makes sense..."

"That's right! You, don't feel embarrassed to ask for anything because you are a new bride. You can't go on like this. There is still a long time to live. How are you going to get through it?"

Lin Yulan still smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt..."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. Second Aunt, you're not going to say bad things about me again, are you? Second Aunt, this won't do. Lin just got married, and Second Aunt is too disrespectful to your nephew, isn't it?"

Shao Xun came in while talking, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Fu was so angry that her face turned pale.

Shao Zhixin bit her lip and glared at him fiercely, then quickly lowered her eyelids. She didn't know what had happened before, but she seemed to be quite afraid of her cousin Shao Xun.

The other two young ladies were in similar situations, neither dared to provoke Shao Xun.

Madam Shao frowned and scolded rudely: "Ah Xun, don't be rude to your second aunt! Look at you, you don't have the manners of a marquis at all."

Seeing Shao Xun supporting Aunt Zhang, Old Madam Shao was stunned: "Why did you bring her here?"

Fu was about to stir up trouble again, but when she saw Nanny Zhang, she couldn't hide her disgust and aversion: "Ah Xun, why did you bring her here?"

Shao Xun helped Nanny Zhang sit down and sneered, "How can a wet nurse be absent for such a big event as Master's marriage? Of course, the wet nurse must attend the family dinner today."

"But she—"

"how is she?"

"..."

Meeting Shao Xun's cold eyes, Fu was speechless for a moment and muttered something angrily.

Every time they saw Nanny Zhang, they felt like something was stuck in their throats, but Nanny Zhang had gone mad, so they didn't dare do anything to provoke Shao Xun and could only turn a blind eye.

When Aunt Zhang saw Lin Yulan, she was extremely happy. She smiled and insisted on sitting next to her, holding her hand and calling her “Girl! Girl!” non-stop.

Rather than dealing with Madam Shao, Mrs. Fu and the others, Lin Yulan preferred to coax Nanny Zhang. She simply coaxed Nanny Zhang openly and ignored them.
