The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

Chapter 47 Dealing with Household Affairs

Yan Lang was lying on the bed making arrangements: "The arrangements have been made with Governor Liu. Wu Jingui will meet us in Xingwen County on a chosen day. When you go to Dawu, remember not to alert the enemy. I will set out with you in secret."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, Jiao Niang dared to ask, "Did you plan for Wu Jingui to come in ahead of time?"

Yan Lang tacitly admitted, "Is it not possible? I won't let my identity be exposed. If he likes to be in the limelight, let him be in the limelight in Xingwen County. Only then will he work wholeheartedly when he comes to Dawu."

Jiao Niang heard Yan Lang's stunned expression, "Madam, let's go! There should be something interesting going on at Second Uncle's place. Go and tell Bai Lin to come to the inn in the city quickly, that's all."

"Oh, why don't you go?" Jiao Niang glanced at him.

"My wife, I can't get out of bed. I won't bother you when I can." Yan Lang said with a smile.

After Jiao Niang brought the message to the two brothers, Bai Lin and Qi Lin naturally brought the message to their eldest sister.

"You two come with me to the inn and take a look." Yan Qin smelled a hint of gossip.

In the guest room in the city, the shopkeeper Yan Er was holding his son carefully. Li was watching outside the door. Suddenly she heard two familiar voices and was so scared that she hurriedly hid back into the house.

"What's the matter? Why are you so nervous?" asked the shopkeeper Yan Er.

"They are here. Your eldest brother and third brother have also stayed at this inn. I'm afraid they are here to look for you," Li replied to Yan Changsheng in panic.

"Why are you panicking? Have you found it? We just need to stay in the house and not go out." Shopkeeper Yan Er comforted her and then kissed his child.

At this time, the kitchen lady at the side spoke up: "Where is the money you prepared for me? I have been hiding in the inn for a while and the money is almost used up."

Manager Yan Er took out a dozen banknotes and handed them to him. "Prepare them for the nanny."

The kitchen maid counted the amount of silver bills and said, "This is not bad. It is worthy of my deceased sister. The child is already over three years old and doesn't need to be breastfed. Now I am parting ways with your family."

"I understand, I understand!" Shopkeeper Yan Er said politely. Li held the child and looked at him for a while. She felt an indescribable emotion when looking at the child.

It turned out that the kitchen maid's sister had given birth to a child for the shopkeeper Yan Er. When she was pregnant, the shopkeeper Yan Er ignored her until she gave birth to a baby boy. Then he paid attention to her and wanted to take the child back.

Just as the maid in the kitchen was planning with her sister how to extort some money from Manager Yan Er, her sister died of illness not long after. Before her death, she gave the token given to her by Manager Yan Er to the maid in the kitchen. The maid then went to Yan's house to find Manager Yan Er, who had no choice but to arrange her to work in the kitchen.

"Yes! Let's part ways." The second shopkeeper Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, feeling extremely happy. "This crazy woman is finally gone. From now on, the Yan Mansion will finally be peaceful."

The woman in the kitchen poked her head out of the door, took the money and left immediately.

Only ten meters away from the inn, someone called out to me, "Old lady, I finally found you!"

The kitchen lady turned around and saw that it was Manager Geng. She smiled calmly and said, "Manager Geng, long time no see. What a coincidence that we meet today."

Manager Geng looked at her current attire and the restaurant behind her and said, "It's a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have found you for months."

After the two of them had a good time, Manager Geng threw a purse out of his sleeve and said, "This is your salary from the Yan residence. Take it now!"

After receiving the silver, the old woman weighed it and said, "Thank you!" Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Chief Steward Geng, "The affairs of the Yan Mansion have been dealt with, but our private affairs are not over yet."

"What private matter?" the old woman asked in surprise.

"The eldest lady asked me to come here to teach you a lesson. There is no other way. I take money and do things in the Yan Mansion." After saying that, he approached the kitchen maid step by step. The kitchen maid saw that something was wrong and ran away immediately.

She ran for an unknown amount of time before she came to an alleyway and found it was a dead end. The butler behind her surrounded her and laughed, "How much money did the second house give you? You can even kill your own sister."

Hearing what Manager Geng said, the kitchen lady suddenly felt guilty, "What do you mean? I don't understand what you are saying!"

Manager Geng stepped forward and said, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? I'll ask you again."

The woman in the kitchen said stubbornly, "I don't understand! I don't understand!"

Manager Geng did not move forward but stood more than ten meters in front of him and spoke:

"Your sister was originally a maid in the second house. The master of the second house took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her in a formal way, but you interfered and pretended that your sister was engaged to someone. When you finally found out that he was the second shopkeeper of Yan's house, you regretted it so much that you secretly tried to make your sister pregnant with his child. Not long after the whole thing happened, the second shopkeeper Yan returned to Xingwen County. You asked your sister to give birth to the child, and you went to Yan's house to find the second shopkeeper Yan and let him know about it. In the end, you asked for a hundred taels of gold, but the second shopkeeper did not agree, so you took your sister to hide from place to place. In the end, your sister died of illness on the way. In the end, you decided to blackmail the Yan's house with this child for a sum of money. You pretended to let the second shopkeeper Yan arrange you to work as a kitchen purchasing woman in Yan's house, but in fact, you two would go to visit the child whenever you had time."

Hearing what Chief Steward Geng said, the kitchen maid leaned against the wall and asked, "How did you know this?"

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall!" Yan Sheng, supported by Jiao Niang, appeared behind Manager Geng and answered, "These are all illusions I made based on the paths you set in the past few years. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Seeing that she had been tricked out, the woman in the kitchen took out her banknotes and begged the three of them to let her go.

"You didn't kill anyone or steal anything, so we will definitely let you go. But I want to know how you knew that Second Uncle was secretly emptying the family property?"

The old woman realized that she couldn't leave unless she told the truth, so she told the truth.

"Back then, when the second shopkeeper Yan came to my house for the first time, I saw several carts full of medicinal herbs. I wanted to see what was inside. So I opened them and saw that there were small change and coins inside. At that time, I thought that this person must be an extraordinary person, so I decided to come to Xingwen County to find out. Finally, I learned that he was the second shopkeeper of the Yan Mansion. Every time I met him, he would send out a few boxes, and that's how I knew about this."

"When the eldest lady accused me, the second shopkeeper Yan gave me one or two taels of silver. He told me to say that no matter what Master Yan asked, it was the eldest lady who gave it to me. Who knew that the eldest lady was beaten so badly that day? After that, he asked me to leave the Yan Mansion as soon as possible. We didn't meet until recently..."

"Do you still have that silver now?" Yan Sheng asked.

"without......"

Yan Sheng was very disappointed to hear her words, and then the old woman continued to add: "But he gave me some silver bills and asked me to exchange them at the store." She immediately took out all the silver bills and handed them to Yan Lang.

Yan Lang found something wrong when he touched the banknote, "The texture of the banknote is not right!" He rubbed it repeatedly and gave it to Manager Geng to touch.

Yan Lang asked again with concern: "He asked you to go to a store to exchange it?"

"Yes! He did say so."

"Okay! You can go now?" Yan Lang asked him to leave. Jiao Niang asked in confusion, "You're letting her go now?"

"Manager Geng, go to the store he mentioned and exchange the silver. Just say that it was Manager Yan who specifically asked you to go there to exchange it."

"Okay, young master." Manager Geng replied and headed towards the store.

"If there is any clue about the banknotes, just check it and you will find out! Why let her go?" Jiao Niang thought Yan Lang was inconsiderate.

"She is useless now. We might as well start with the store. Let's go to the inn to take Dad home." Yan Lang looked at Jiao Niang's disappointed look and said, "Why are you disappointed? You will know when Manager Geng comes back."

"Ow!"

When the two arrived at the inn, they saw his father and Yan Da discussing the issue of purchase and transportation fiercely. Seeing that the two were discussing so intensely, Yan Lang did not disturb them, but called the waiter to ask her if there was a quiet room away from children.

The waiter didn't answer. Yan Lang observed him and gave him a tael of silver. Then he answered, "The two rooms upstairs are occupied by children. You can choose from the three rooms in front of you."

"Okay!" Yan Lang got the answer he wanted and pointed to a room at random. The waiter left a key and left.

"Let's play a game, Miss Jiao. Guess which room Second Uncle and Aunt will stay in?"

Jiao Niang stared at the upstairs for a while and said with a smile: "What reward will I get if I choose the right one?"

"How about I personally go back to Quanshui Village to give the reward?" Yan Lang knew that Jiao Niang had not returned to Quanshui Village for several months and was thinking about her parents.

We agreed to meet once a month, but Jiaoniang got injured not long after her wedding so she declined. Later, she accompanied Yanlang to Jinzhou County. She was busy with family affairs and only met her parents once...

"That room!" Jiao Niang said, pointing to the room near the wall.

"Explain?!" Yan Lang agreed with her answer.

"The house is designed to be open from north to south. The houses at the corners can overlook the entire street and observe everything that happens. The most important thing is that ventilation is good and it helps the children grow up."

After listening to Jiao Niang's explanation, Yan Lang clapped his hands and praised her for making sense, "I didn't realize that Jiao Niang knew so much about parenting experience at such a young age."

When Yan Lang saw that his father and uncle had finished their discussion, he said a few words to Jiao Niang, and Jiao Niang went to find Yan Da while she went to look for his father.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a heavy knock on the door. "Who is it? I don't see you!" Yan Da shouted from inside. He also thought that the waiters in these shops didn't know the rules.

"it's me!"

Yan Da immediately recognized the voice as Zhang Jiaoniang's. "Jiaoniang, wait a minute, I'm just changing my clothes!"

Yan Da opened the door and looked at Jiao Niang. "Why is Jiao Niang here if she is not in Yan's house?"

"I have good news for you. You can move to the second room. Are you willing to do it?"

Hearing Jiao Niang's words, Yan Da immediately perked up, "Please give me some pointers, Living Bodhisattva."

"I observed the celestial phenomena at night and predicted that the second wife would have a child."

"What?!! He has a son?! He actually has an illegitimate child!" Yan Da felt a sense of crisis after hearing this. He already had two sons, two from the third wife, and he thought the second wife posed no threat, but he didn't expect that he had secretly given birth to another one!

"Yes! He is in this inn now." Jiao Niang pointed to the inn at the foot of the wall, "You should know what the uncle is going to do next, right?"

"I understand, I understand! Thank you, my dear." Yan Da had said thank you countless times. This time, he and his third brother went out to buy medicinal materials with their own money.

The two of them were just discussing the issue of money downstairs. They didn't expect that the second room would not approve the funds for the purchase and transportation of medicine this time, resulting in the two of them having to bite the bullet and buy it with their own money.

"Son, why did you come to the inn to see me?" asked Yan Lao San.

"Dad! I heard from my uncle that you ran into trouble when buying medicine, right?" Yan Lang asked nervously. He had no idea, he just knew that the two of them were discussing very intensely.

"Yes! Your second uncle won't approve the money for us, and the money our two families took out this time is almost gone." Yan San said helplessly.

"No funding? How much funding did grandpa give before?" Yan Lang asked.

"3000 taels of gold."

"Three thousand taels of gold?" Yan Lang immediately thought of the three thousand taels of gold that he had seized before. "That's a lot?"

"Yes! Now it's me and the eldest wife who have pooled the money together."

"Does Grandpa know?"

"Grandpa doesn't know yet. We'll tell him when we get back."

"Dad, I came here to tell you something. I discovered my second uncle's secret recently. He had a child outside."

"Ah?!" Yan San was also shocked, "Another child? Doesn't that mean our third room is in danger?"

"No! I want to go find my dad."

Yan Lang stopped him and said, "My uncle has already called people, we just need to wait."

Yan Da came to the second room's inn and knocked on the door loudly, causing the baby boy inside to cry loudly.

"My dear, you stay here and calm the child down. I'll go out and take a look." Yan Er heard his eldest brother's voice as he walked to the door. "Why is he here? If he knows about this, it will definitely affect the second house if Dad finds out."

He retreated again and again, refusing to go out!

"What's wrong? Husband, why don't you open the door?" Li asked.

"Big brother is here?!"

"Ah?! Big brother is here... How did big brother know about this?" Li said anxiously. Li originally wanted to go back to the mansion and ask Master Yan to accept the child and then adopt him as her own. Now that she has been caught by the first wife, what if she says the child is a bastard?

"We won't open the door!"

Yan knocked for a long time, but there was no response from inside the house. "Could it be that Jiao Niang said something nonsense?" He turned around and looked at Jiao Niang, who motioned for him to continue knocking on the door.

Yan Da took a break and his daughter came over. "Qin'er, why are you here?"

Yan Qin covered her ears and said to Yan Da: "Dad, someone told us to come here to watch the show, so I came."

The two people in the room heard Yan Qin arriving outside the door. Yan Er said to Li: "What is coming will come! Face it!"

Yan Da and his daughter stood in front of the door.

"Click! The door opened."
