No matter how loud the noise is in the main courtyard, it has no impact on Lin Yaoyao's courtyard.

This is the benefit of living far away!

As usual, she slept until noon and would not want to get up unless she was hungry.

She hadn't enjoyed such a rich, leisurely and comfortable life for a long time.

After finishing her not-so-early breakfast, she wiped her mouth and went to the main courtyard to look for Qu Manrong.

Qu Manrong had been hesitating and wavering. She wanted to meet Lin Yaoyao and show some concern for her, but she was afraid that her sudden enthusiasm would scare her.

She never expected that Lin Yaoyao would come to her on her own initiative, even if it was just for the housekeeper rights.

That’s right, as soon as Lin Yaoyao saw Qu Manrong, she went straight to the point and asked her if she wanted to be the head of the family.

As well as the maids and servants who used to live in the mansion.

She could understand the request for housekeeping power; after all, it was not the first time it was brought up. She also agreed to hand over the power.

But what are those servants to do?

This is what she thought in her heart and this is what she asked.

"Open up the wasteland! It's a waste to leave those people alone. It's better to hand them over to me and help me open up the wasteland!"

"Opening up wasteland?"

Qu Manrong looked completely bewildered and confused.

But come to think of it, she has been living a life of luxury since she was a child, so naturally she has no idea what reclaiming land means.

Lin Yaoyao reluctantly explained to her because she had corrected her mistakes in the past two days.

"Reclaiming wasteland means reclaiming wasteland. There is so much land, I can't cultivate it myself, right?"

How tiring would that be?

Qu Manrong really thought that Lin Yaoyao bought some land and planned to let those people reclaim it.

How could she know that Lin Yaoyao had taken a fancy to the back garden of the Marquis' Mansion and was planning to have someone reclaim the wasteland for her!

Lin Yaoyao has no control over what other people’s back gardens look like, nor does she want to control it.

But the back garden of the marquis's mansion is such a large open space, it would be a shame to plant all those flowers and plants!

When she thought about how in the end times, so many people would fight and even die for a bite of food, she felt that the Marquis' Mansion was simply wasting resources!

If they planted crops on such a large piece of land, it would be enough for their family to eat for a long time.

Anyway, Lin Yaoyao will be the one in charge of the Marquis' Mansion in the future, so what the back garden will look like should of course be decided according to her ideas.

Just keep it for growing crops!

She had already thought it through. She would sell all the valuable flowers and plants, and just pull out and throw away the worthless ones.

After clearing the land, she asked people to look for sweet potato seeds.

I don’t know if she can become a county lady or a princess like the heroines in novels if she grows sweet potatoes?

By that time, wouldn't she be one step closer to her goal of living a life of idleness and waiting for death?

After all, everything now belongs to others, to the original owner, and does not truly belong to her.

She still hoped that she could have something that truly belonged to her in this dynasty.

In this way, if she suddenly goes back one day in the future, or dies of old age or illness, there will be a trace to prove that she has been there.

"You didn't tell me about this in advance, so some people may have been sold, but there should be some that haven't been sold yet.

If you need them, I will have someone bring them all to you this afternoon.

But if we are going to reclaim some land, mother still thinks, why don’t we hire some strong laborers from outside?

Those people are good-looking but useless. I guess none of them can farm. They will ruin the land!"

Qu Manrong was sincerely giving Lin Yaoyao advice.

Lin Yaoyao refused.

"Those people are good enough, there's no need to spend that money. If you have more money, go and help those in need.

Those who don’t know how to do it should learn. No one knows how to do it from the beginning. Won’t they learn it as time goes by?”

Seeing that she really didn't need it, Qu Manrong stopped forcing her.

But when I think about her past, I feel that what she said makes sense.

My daughter wasn't born with these abilities. If it weren't for that evil-minded guy, why would she have to suffer so much?

She should have lived a life of luxury since childhood, but she ended up living in poverty.

Washing clothes, cooking, working in the fields, these are things that a servant should do, but in the end she learned how to do them all.

snort!

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the bastard deserved to die. Saving him was simply a waste of her money!

I should have let him fend for himself.

It turns out that I have good intentions!

Lin Yaoyao got what she wanted and didn't want to stay in the main courtyard any longer, so she asked to go back.

"Wait a minute, Yaoyao, um... Mom wants to ask you, what kind of yard do you like?"

Lin Yaoyao looked at her suspiciously.

"My current yard is pretty good. I like it very much."

"Is that so? That's good, as long as you like it."

Seeing that she liked the current yard, Qu Manrong didn't think about asking her to change it.

She cleaned up the yard first, so that if Yaoyao got tired of living in the original place, she could always move to another place.

However, Lin Yaoyao saw through her plan and gave her a suggestion.

"If you feel like you have too much free time, why not prepare a yard for my brother whom I have never met?"

Although Qu Manrong didn't know why her daughter was so sure that the old lady would agree to let the illegitimate son return, she still agreed to it.

"Okay, Mom will listen to you. You have the final say in the family now."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. If you need me for something, you can send someone to let me know."

"Then...if I want to see you, can I...can I go to the courtyard to find you?"

"Of course you can. This is your home."

"Hey! Hey!"

Qu Manrong agreed with great joy.

Yaoyao is not opposed to me going to find her. Does it mean...she has started trying to forgive myself?

Lin Yaoyao waved her hand and left the main courtyard directly.

Qu Manrong did not keep her waiting for long. Before noon, she had someone send the servants from the mansion over.

Originally, there were more than a hundred servants, boys, and maids in the mansion, big and small courtyards.

However, in less than two days, Qu Manrong had sold out nearly half of the people.

Most of them were servants who had served Lin Zhengfeng and Lin Zirou.

Although these people's indentures are in her hands, their hearts may not necessarily be on the side of her as the mistress.

Instead of spending money to support them, it is better to sell them directly for money.

Lin Yaoyao looked at the servant standing in front of her and was also shocked.

Originally, these people were scattered throughout the Marquis' Mansion, and she didn't think there were many servants in the Mansion.

At this moment, everyone suddenly focused their attention and realized that there were so many people being supported in the Marquis' Mansion.

The immense wealth of the Marquis' Mansion was indeed beyond the imagination of an ordinary person like her!
