Mrs. Fu was furious that her husband didn't give her face in front of the servants, but she didn't dare to argue with her husband. "Second Master, you underestimate me too much. How could I not know the importance of this matter?"

"You'd better know," Master Shao said angrily, "Why don't you go to Chunhui Garden right away? That bastard loves to make a fuss about something. Who knows what he'll do next? If he makes a fuss about this, I wonder if you, as an aunt, will be ashamed!"

Fu originally planned to pretend to scold the kitchen maids tomorrow and send Nanny Su over to explain. At worst, she would not deduct Lin Yulan's share in the future - even if she had to deduct, she would just deduct a little less from time to time.

After hearing what her husband said, she could no longer sit still and hurriedly called Nanny Su, Qiaodie, and Nanny Qi to go over.

It's hard to say whether Shao Xun, that rascal, will start to yell, and if he does, the words he'll say will be really unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, when she hurried to Chunhui Garden, the couple was not there and had gone out to a restaurant for dinner.

Fu's face was full of excitement...

"Humph, you are indeed a Marquis, you are really rich and powerful! I worried for nothing! Lin is really ignorant. I was counting on her to persuade the Marquis to improve himself, but she just followed the Marquis to make trouble. She comes from a small family, so she is incompetent and unreliable."

Fu became angry and swore, then went back angrily.

I feel so sad. Shao Xun, that bastard, is spending money recklessly again. That's all the money of the Marquis' Mansion and will belong to their second wife in the future...

Shao Xun simply took Lin Yulan to Man Yue Tower again. The two of them ordered a table full of dishes and enjoyed it happily.

Lin Yulan also asked if any merchants had taken up the business of the various silks and gauze she wanted. When would the first batch be delivered to Beijing?

Shao Xun was a little amused, his wife was very persistent. He had no choice but to tell her that he had already told her about it, and that she would receive the first batch of goods soon, which would be stored in his other courtyard in the east of the city, and she could go and see them anytime.

Lin Yulan felt relieved and thanked him with a smile.

If she remembered correctly, the price would at least quadruple by then, and five or six times during the most popular period. She was counting on making a fortune.

There is no room for error.

Otherwise you will vomit blood in anger.

Shao Xun knew that she didn't know much about the Rongguo Mansion, so he talked to her about it.

Little did he know that Lin Yulan knew the Rongguo Mansion better than anyone else.

He told her this with good intentions, but she pretended not to know, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Have a good dinner and go home together.

At the entrance of Manyue Tower, when Shao Xun was helping her get on the carriage, a patrol team from the Five Military Governor's Office happened to pass by, and the young leader was Meng Mingchi.

Meng Mingchi saw the two of them stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head and intentionally hid in the dark shadows beside him, feeling a little embarrassed.

Only after the carriage drove away did he let out a sigh of relief and slowly loosened his clenched hands at his sides.

Although he was his brother-in-law, he was the Marquis. He was just a little boy who had to patrol late at night when he was on duty. How could he compare with him? If the carriage of the Marquis's Mansion broke down in front of him, he would have to take people to help push the carriage when they called him.

No matter how bad a person's reputation is, he will still be reborn.

Everyone wants to be promoted, including Meng Mingchi. But now his desire for promotion is stronger than ever.

The turmoil in his heart gradually subsided. Meng Mingchi smiled bitterly and thought to himself, wake up, he will never be able to be on equal footing with Wuwei Hou in this life...

After breakfast the next day, Qiaodie came to invite Lin Yulan, and Lin Yulan brought Xiaoqu with her.

Today, the Rongguo Mansion was hosting a banquet. Apart from Lin Yulan, Fu only brought Shao Zhixin.

Because of what happened last night, Fu obviously didn't like Lin Yulan very much. When they saw her coming, both mother and daughter were not in a good mood. Shao Zhixin even complained a few words, blaming Lin Yulan for being too slow.

Mrs. Fu immediately rebuked her and said to Lin Yulan with a fake smile, "This child is too impatient. She is like this no matter what she does. She is not targeting my niece-in-law on purpose. My niece-in-law, please don't take it to heart and don't bother with her."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you are too kind. How could I bother with Sister Xin?"

Shao Zhixin said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, you say you don't care, but don't turn around and complain to my cousin. Our family has always been harmonious. The old lady hates it most, that is, people make complaints and instigate trouble behind the scenes, and only those who come from small and insignificant families like to do such things."

These words are too harsh.

Lin Yulan immediately looked at Shao Zhixin: "Sister Xin, are you talking about me?"

Shao Zhixin was shocked. She didn't expect Lin Yulan to ask so directly. She felt a little guilty when Lin Yulan looked at her directly. She didn't dare to admit it directly. She said angrily: "I didn't say that!"

"It's good if it's not," Lin Yulan ignored her blatant words, as long as she denied it, "I think it shouldn't be me. I have never complained to the Marquis. If Second Aunt or Sister Xin don't believe it, you can call the Marquis to confront me. When I just came in, the old lady said that family harmony is the most important thing. I have always remembered this and dare not forget it. If someone instigated the complaint behind the scenes and made the family restless, it must not be me. Sister Xin, you should stop saying these groundless words. It will not sound good if it gets out. Second Aunt, don't you think so?"

"you--"

"Okay, Xin'er," Mrs. Fu stopped her daughter. When she looked at Lin Yulan, the smile on her face was so forced that she almost couldn't hold it. "My niece-in-law is worthy of being born in a scholarly family. She has a set of words and is more eloquent than others. Xin'er doesn't treat you as an outsider. She speaks casually, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. My niece-in-law must not take it seriously, otherwise I, as your second aunt, don't know what to say. Xin'er doesn't need your teaching, we are here. If my niece-in-law is too idle, she might as well think about how to persuade Axun. At least persuade Axun to walk on the right path, so that the old lady and us uncles and aunts will worry less, and bring less shame to our ancestors. Then my niece-in-law will be a great contributor to our Shao family!"

Shao Zhixin snorted and rolled her eyes at Lin Yulan sarcastically.

Lin Yulan: "Second Aunt is right. Thank you for your advice."

"Hmph! All right, get in the car. It's going to be late soon."

There are two cars in total, one luxury and one ordinary.

Fu took Lin Yulan and Shao Zhixin in one car, with Nanny Su serving them, and the other car was for the maids and servants.

As the carriage started, Fu smiled again and said, "Didn't Ah Xun get really mad yesterday? He said that the kitchen was cutting the allowance. The servants work so hard, so how can they not get some benefits? It's the same in every household. It's not a big deal, as long as you can get by. If you start to haggle over it, the servants will suffer, and it will also make you seem too mean, niece-in-law, don't you think so?"
