I was a housekeeper in ancient times

After sitting for a while and saying a few simple greetings, she tactfully left. Aunt Lian and her servants did not welcome her arrival.

She also wanted to ask whether Mrs. Ding had withheld Aunt Lian's share, but Aunt Lian didn't even give her a chance to ask, so she was just being too kind.

Or, she was Yu Muyan's companion, so it was reasonable for Aunt Lian to be wary of her and feel fearful.

But Yu Muyan has a kind personality. Jiaer said that since Aunt Lian came into the family, Yu Muyan has never been embarrassed at all. Aunt Lian doesn't need to be so scared, right?

On the way back, Jiaer muttered, "Strange."

She asked, "What's strange?"

"I seemed to see a silver embroidered belt on Aunt Lian's table against the wall."

"What's so strange about the belt?"

"But belts are only used by men."

"Ok?"

"Mrs. Lian is a woman, what is she doing with a belt?"

"Maybe it belongs to her father or brother?"

"Mrs. Lian's father died before she entered the mansion. She has a younger brother who is younger than me. He can't be used, right?"

"what?"

She was stunned. That belt couldn't possibly belong to Aunt Lian's lover, right?

If that's the case, then Aunt Lian is pretty awesome.

She is too lazy to care, she doesn't know, then it's none of her business.

Manager Li came to see her and said that the house mentioned last time had been decided, and he also informed Yu Muyan, who let her decide.

Manager Li said, "Mom, if you have time, why not come with me to take a look. That area is quite busy, and it would be a waste if it were left vacant."

She thought about it, but who knew that as soon as she went out, she would run into her adopted son, Shanger, who came to look for her.

Although she had never seen him before, because of the damn blood, she could recognize at a glance that the skinny, pale man with cloudy and lifeless eyes, who looked frail and malnourished, was her son.

Fearing that she would be embarrassed in front of outsiders, she pulled Shan Ge'er aside and said, "What are you doing here? Go home. I have things to do."

Shan Ge'er was even more impatient than she was, "Mom, Zhenyu and the others came to you to ask for money, why didn't you give it to them? If you had given them to me earlier, I wouldn't have to make this trip again."

"Why should I give?"

"I want to start a business. How can I start a business without capital?"

"You have no capital, and you ask me for money?"

"What else? Mother, I am your only son. If you don't give me your son, who else can you give him to?"

She laughed out of anger. How come she always encounters such weird things?

She just said: "I don't have money, you can find someone else."

Shan Ge'er was angry, "Mom, how come you have no money? Did you give all the money to your elder sister? My mother-in-law said that you went to Wang's house to see your elder sister and gave her a lot of things. And Huan Jie'er, she lives with you in the mansion, you must have given her all the good things."

"Isn't your eldest sister my daughter? Shouldn't I give her money?"

"Then I am still your son, so you should give me money."

"Did you have a miscarriage? If you have a miscarriage, I will give it to you too."

"mother!"

Chatting with such people is a sheer waste of time and mood.

She went straight to Changning Street with Manager Li. Shan Ge'er was still chasing after them, calling for his mother. She was so impatient that she wanted to tear her face off in the street. She would just pretend that she didn't have this son.

But reason told her that doing so was not in line with the original owner's identity and temperament.

She endured it, but she really had no way to deal with such a scabby person for the time being.

Manager Li also advised her, "Maybe Shan Ge'er has run into some trouble?"

She took a deep breath, turned around and said to Shan Ge'er, "I'm busy right now, come back in two days, is that okay?"

Shan Ge'er then stopped and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I know that mother loves me."

When we arrived at Changning Street, although it was not as prosperous as Zhusheng Street, it was also lively. Zhusheng Street was a gathering area for wealthy families, while Changning Street was a gathering area for ordinary people. There were many small businesses, and all the thirty-six trades were available.

It's a bit noisy if you live here, but it would be perfect if you want to do some business.

The small house that Manager Li took a fancy to was named Bai's House because the seller's surname was Bai.

The Bai residence is exquisitely decorated, revealing elegance everywhere. The potted plants are lush and verdant, the paths are winding, and the courtyard is clean and quaint. It is suitable for daily life as well as for self-cultivation. It is indeed a good place to live.

In the bustling city, it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. At this moment, the house is quiet, and the sound of buying and selling outside is constant, which makes it particularly lively.

After a brief stroll, Manager Li asked, "Is mom satisfied?"

She nodded. "Yes."

Of course she was satisfied, but she wondered when she would be able to own such a nice house.

As for the Bai residence, Manager Li suggested that it be used for business, as it was too small for living. Even as a dowry, the three sisters were not going to reach marriage age soon, so it would be a waste to leave it vacant.

"I just don't know what kind of business to start. Changning Street is full of everything. There are too many competitors. If you don't have strong means, your business won't last long."

"That being said, there is no end to business, and buying and selling will never stop. If others can do it, why can't we? We need to put in some thought and find the right way. It's hard, but it's also easy."

She had never done business and had no experience, but business is all about buying and selling. If you have goods and others come to buy them, that's business.

She doesn't have that much creativity and can't create modern things, so it's better to make things that are in line with the current era.

This matter cannot be rushed. We need to observe for some time before making a decision.

When they returned to the mansion, it was the leisurely afternoon and not all places were busy. The old women and maids who were used to being lazy gathered together quietly to eat melon seeds and chat.

When I passed the corridor, I heard two old women talking incessantly.

"I heard that the guy from the Huang family beat someone up again last night?"

"That's right. It was late at night, and Mrs. Huang didn't know what had happened to offend her husband, and she heard the bowl being broken again. Once the bowl was broken, Mrs. Huang would be punished."

"Oh, I was wondering why she looked so bad today, with swollen eyes. I asked her and she said she was fine."

"Oh, she's fine. The wounds from the last fight haven't fully healed yet, and now she has new injuries. You see, the weather is getting hot now, and everyone has changed into thin clothes, but she refuses to change. Isn't it because she's afraid that people will see the injuries on her body?"

From what I hear, was Mrs. Huang beaten by someone else? Or was she beaten by the man in her family?

Gossip is gossip. It is someone else's family affair and privacy, so she didn't ask too much about it.

Back at Shuangxiyuan, Qiushi said that the fourth daughter of the Yu family had arrived.

She thought it was Yu Muqin, but when she entered the room, she saw a girl in a white and green dress, with double spiral buns and a light yellow hairband, looking very lively.

The girl sat opposite Yu Muyan, talking about something, and the two of them were laughing happily.

She almost thought that her sister had grown up so quickly.
