"Ah Xun, you are brothers and family, you are inseparable. You must teach Ah Yan well so that you brothers can take care of each other in the future."

Fu smiled and kept pushing Shao Yan over there.

She was thinking in her heart that if her son replaced Shao Xun to work, maybe he would do better and better than Shao Xun, and then he could replace him.

Lin Yulan: “…”

Shao Yan obviously quickly followed his mother's train of thought and also thought of this indirect way to save the country. He was overjoyed and forgot his previous disdain and jealousy towards Shao Xun. He bowed to him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother. If you have any errands, just give them to me. I will definitely do it for you! I can't lose face for you and our mansion."

Mrs. Fu smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, our A-Yan is the most sensible one. Now he has grown up and made great achievements. A-Xun, you can't hide your secrets."

Lin Yulan: “…”

Shao Xun: “…”

Shao Xun waited until she had finished talking, then he said slowly, "Second Aunt, the Five Military Commandery is not our property, it is an institution of the imperial court. If I am injured and cannot go, the higher-ups will naturally have other arrangements. How can they let me have the final say?"

"But what's wrong with you asking your own brothers to help? Others can't do that. You are so valued by the emperor now, and you were injured while on duty. Shouldn't the Five Military Commands Office give you some compensation? I think those people are all selfish, so it seems normal that they don't mention it on their own initiative. But if they don't mention it, can't you say it yourself? I can see that you are clearly not happy!"

Shao Xun thought to himself, of course I’m not happy.

"The affairs of the court are not that simple. It is not as easy as Second Aunt assumes. Why do you have to embarrass me?"

It is neither pleasant nor in accordance with the rules.

"Ah Xun, you only care about eating the meat and you won't even give us a sip of the soup?"

"I don't dare to admit what Second Aunt said."

"I think you are clearly one!"

"Second Aunt," Lin Yulan couldn't bear to listen any longer, "Second Aunt, the Marquis has just been injured and needs to rest. Please let's talk about anything else later. No matter what, let the Marquis go back to Chunhui Garden before we talk about other things."

"you--"

"My Lord doesn't seem to be in good spirits. I'm a little worried. Shao Chu, please go to the Imperial Hospital again and ask the imperial physician to come and treat him."

Shao Chu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Yes, Madam Hou."

He said and turned to leave.

Fu was startled and hurriedly tried to stop him: "Hide it, Shao Chu will come back! Forget it, since you are unwilling to help, hum, there is nothing to say. It is really chilling! I shouldn't have said this, I should have seen through you a long time ago, hum."

Fu immediately turned hostile and left angrily with Shao Yan and others.

She naturally didn't dare to let Shao Chu go to ask the imperial physician again. If the imperial physician asked why, the couple would not cover up or lie. They would definitely sell themselves out. Damn it...

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone hurriedly brought Shao Xun back to Chunhui Garden.

Nanny Zhang was also helped into the house. Lin Yulan dismissed all the servants, and Xiaoqu stood guard outside personally.

Aunt Zhang's tears suddenly flowed out. She held Shao Xun's hand tightly, holding back her sobs and almost being unable to speak.

"My Lord, why, why didn't you take good care of yourself..."

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun comforted Aunt Zhang for a while, and confirmed that Shao Xun's leg injury was not serious, and he would recover after a good rest and recuperation, just like before, without any sequelae. Aunt Zhang finally smiled and relaxed.

Nanny Zhang glanced at the two of them and said, "Marquis, Madam, I have something to say. Now that the Marquis has the emperor's favor and respect, it is different from before. It is almost impossible for the Second Branch to seize the Marquis's title or anything else. I am not saying this. Even if the Second Master is like this and still wants to seize the title, if he is willing to be honest, he can still enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of his life. If he is still unwilling to give up and keeps courting death, who knows what kind of end he will end up with his whole family."

Nanny Zhang sighed and said, "Sometimes, some people are determined to seek death, and others can't stop them no matter what. My Lord, you have done your best. If such a day really comes, don't be soft-hearted. The late Lord and his wife will definitely support you."

"Looking at the Marquis and his wife getting better and better, I'm afraid they are getting even more annoyed with them. Who knows, one day they might go crazy or be instigated to do something. Marquis, I think it's time for the Marquis' wife to take over the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

Lin Yulan never expected that the topic would turn to herself. She opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Huh?"

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "The Marquis's wife is completely worthy of this title! Besides, only when the Marquis's wife is in charge of the household affairs, and together with the Marquis, the Marquis's mansion is firmly in their hands, can it be truly safe and secure."

"Your Highness is now working for the Emperor, and you cannot afford to make any mistakes. Things in the harem are both big and small, and if someone takes advantage of you, no one can say what the consequences will be. You must always make plans early and prepare for a rainy day."

Shao Xun looked at Lin Yulan.

Lin Yulan subconsciously avoided his gaze. Her fingers unconsciously twirled the handkerchief, her heart in turmoil.

In charge of household affairs?

She had never thought of being in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. After all, she and the Marquis were a couple in name only. The two of them tacitly did not mention this matter much, but they both knew that they would be separated sooner or later.

Lin Yulan naturally didn't care about the matter of household chores.

As long as no one can harm her or be harsh to her, it's fine. Just like now.

Although Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu were hateful, they were just talking nonsense and they could not easily cause any substantial harm to her.

Shao Xun sighed inwardly, knowing that Lin Yulan's heart was not in it, so he smiled and said, "Nanny, let's talk about this later. It's okay now. I will keep an eye on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Don't worry, they won't do anything weird."

"You can't say that," Nanny Zhang said angrily, "You are outside, how can you know the hardships in the mansion? Fu Shi has been finding faults with the Marquis' wife and causing trouble for her. If the Marquis' wife was in charge of the household, how would she dare to do that?"

Lin Yulan: “…”

This, this - Aunt Zhang did all this for her? Lin Yulan couldn't tell what she felt for a moment. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but also felt touched.

Shao Xun couldn't help but look at her again.

Lin Yulan was a little confused, and her mind was not working so fast for a while, "My Lord, what do you think? If you need me to take charge of the household affairs, that's fine..."
