There was no conversation along the way, and the two fell into a strange silence.

Shen Yueqiao was too embarrassed to keep looking at others, so she lowered her head shyly and pretended to sleep. After a while, she really fell asleep. Lin Hongle was relieved to see that Shen Yueqiao seemed to be asleep.

In this way, the two of them rested in the car for a while.

After about an hour, Shen San knocked on the wooden door, and Shen Yueqiao woke up again in a daze: "What's the matter?"

"Master, we have arrived at the East House." Shen San answered whatever was asked.

Logically speaking, since Shen Yueqiao had already set up her own household, she should be called the head of the family, but Shen San still directly called her the master.

"Hmm," Shen Yueqiao groaned, and when she looked up again, she saw Lin Hongle still sitting there, looking at her quietly.

"That, Lin, ah, no," Shen Yueqiao was nervous, she stuttered again, and said: "Hongle, we are home."

When Lin Hongle heard her say this, he felt warm in his heart and smiled slightly.

When Shen Yueqiao saw him smiling like this, the corners of her mouth twitched instantly. They looked so similar, exactly like her idol in ancient costume!

Her face instantly turned red. "I," Shen Yueqiao opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat. She trembled and said, "I'll get off first."

Then he got off the car without looking back.

After getting off the car, he walked straight into the front hall without waiting for Lin Hongle to get off, and a group of servants were already waiting there.

After a while, Lin Hongle walked into the front hall with a calm face. Shen Yueqiao didn't even look at him. He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Hongle, sit here."

Lin Hongle did not hesitate and went forward to sit down. Now he was the master of the East House. If he was always weak, he would not be able to take care of the household expenses.

Shen Wei served tea to the two of them. They picked up the teacups and took a sip in tacit understanding, and no one spoke.

The room was so quiet that the only sound could be heard except for the sound of drinking tea. After a while, Shen Yueqiao put the teacup on the table. Hearing this sound, Lin Hongle took the teacup in his hand and his face became serious.

"Everyone," Shen Yueqiao said faintly, "Since ancient times, women have been in charge of the outside world and men have been in charge of the inside world. From now on, all matters of the inner courtyard of our East Mansion will be decided by the master. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Everyone agreed quickly, knelt down, and did not dare to look up, and shouted in unison: "I greet my master."

Lin Hongle's heart was beating fast. He was just a bastard's son. He didn't expect Shen Yueqiao to hand over the power of household affairs to him so readily right from the start. He was a little nervous for a moment.

Shen Yueqiao saw that he was nervous, so he stood up and waved his hand to stop Lin Hongle from getting up. He said to him, "Le'er, you can give me a lecture first. I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll let Daer take you to your yard later."

When Lin Hongle heard this, he quickly stood up to see Shen Yueqiao off. Shen Yueqiao couldn't stop him from getting up, so he had to walk out of the front hall leisurely.

Seeing Shen Yueqiao walk out of the front hall, Lin Hongle's face became a little stern. He said in a calm voice: "Although I am a newcomer, I also know the rules of the Shen Mansion."

After saying that, Lin Hongle glanced at the servants kneeling on the ground and said in a cold voice: "It's best for everyone to live in peace. If anyone dares to disobey, don't blame me for being rude."

His tone was so cold that everyone present shuddered.

"All of you should raise your heads." Lin Hongle continued: "As long as you work hard, the Shen family will naturally not treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he pursed his lips, and Lin Liu walked up to Shen Yi and said, "Start with you. Tell me what you do specifically in the East House."

When Lin Hongle heard that Shen Bu and Shen Hui were specially arranged by Shen Yueqiao to serve him, his heart ached. The good impression he had just had instantly disappeared, and his eyes darkened.

From the names of these two servants, it can be seen that Shen Yueqiao completely rejected him.

After listening, Lin Hongle told everyone to continue to do their respective duties and let everyone go. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to manage this Dongzhai well, he had to establish his own prestige.

Afterwards, Da Er brought Lin Hongle to his yard. The yard was very large and elegantly decorated everywhere.

Lin Hongle looked around and secretly made up his mind to take good care of the inner courtyard of the East House. Even if he would never be favored in his life, he would still do everything he should do.

At this time, Shen Hui came into the room carrying a basin of water. Lin Hongle saw him and asked, "Are you Shen Hui?"

"My lord, I am Shen Hui." Shen Hui was the first young man to stand up and say that he could read. Seeing the young man's handsome face and clear eyes, Lin Hongle asked: "Can you read?"

When Shen Hui heard this, he smiled and replied, "My lord, I can read."

Lin Hongle seemed to have noticed something from the smile, so he continued to ask, "What about Shen Bu?"

"My lord, he went to get the towel." Shen Hui said politely.

"Well, you go down first." Lin Hongle waved his hand, and Shen Hui immediately retreated.
