Lin Hongle listened to Lin Liu's report, but he was a little confused. Did Shen Yueqiao really hand over the power of household finances to him?

Seeing Lin Hongle frowning, Lin Liu advised: "Young Master, look how good the Patriarch is to you. You also know that in our Yuenu Country, although men are in charge of household affairs, they still have to look at the Patriarch's face. Our Patriarch has established your authority directly. Even if there are more men in this inner house in the future, you will still be respected."

"What do you know?" Lin Hongle interrupted Lin Liu impatiently and said sadly: "These two people are her sweethearts. She doesn't want to offend them, so she just pushes me out."

"It's not like that. The head of the family doesn't have a good attitude towards them." Lin Liu tried to explain.

"You go out first. I'll cook something delicious tonight and invite the owner to come over for dinner." Lin Hongle said listlessly. It sounds good to let him make the decision, but how can he make the decision? The back house is for guests and servants to live in. It is the house with the worst location in the entire East House. Who should be asked to move out?

He couldn't guess what Shen Yueqiao was thinking, so he simply asked her to come over in the evening to ask her.

Meanwhile, Shen Yueqiao was still feeling complacent about his own cleverness, thinking about how much he cared about Lin Hongle. When Lin Liu came back and described how devoted he was to him, he'd be so stunned!

At least we can save some image!

So when she heard Shen San report that Lin Hongle asked her out for dinner in the evening, she smiled even more. What do you think? Infatuation will always be rewarded, right?

I feel so good that I even have more interest in reading.

But she couldn't concentrate on reading the book. She thought about dressing up beautifully and going to the back room, where Lin Hongle would be waiting for her with a smile on his face. The two of them would have a nice meal together, and then...

Thinking of this, Shen Yueqiao felt his face getting slightly hot.

Stop talking!

An San: I really can't bear to watch! How could the master be so useless?

And when Shen Yueqiao dressed himself up like a show-off and walked excitedly to the back room.

Seeing Lin Hongle and the others standing there waiting for her without any sadness or joy, Shen Yueqiao frantically suppressed the corners of her mouth. She knew that this was ancient times, and he couldn't show his happiness easily. She pretended to be calm, nodded, and then ordered: "Everyone go down, I will have dinner with the master, you don't stay here."

After a pause, he repeated: "Yes, all of them go down!"

An San: Why don’t you just click my name?

After saying that, he took Lin Hongle's hand and walked into the house.

Lin Hongle was being pulled and was a little confused for a moment, so he could only follow.

Only Lin Liu showed an expression that said "See, I was right."

Shen Yueqiao pulled Lin Hongle into the room and immediately closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, everyone looked at each other with curious expressions, but no one dared to step forward.

After closing the door, Shen Yueqiao could no longer suppress the upward smile on her lips. She looked at Lin Hongle with a smile on her face, but froze when she saw the other's look of surprise.

"Well, um, let's eat." Shen Yueqiao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only let go of his hand and sit down.

What's going on? It's not what I imagined! Why?

Shen Yueqiao doesn’t understand!

"Yes, my wife." Lin Hongle also sat down. He knew that Shen Yueqiao didn't like being served while eating, so he simply didn't serve him.

Lin Hongle reached out and served Shen Yueqiao a bowl of old chicken soup. As he handed it to Shen Yueqiao, he said, "My wife, you have worked hard studying. Le'er made some old chicken soup for you."

When Shen Yueqiao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She took the soup and said, "Did you stew it? Don't be too tired. Just let the servants do it."

"Well, it was stewed by the servants. Le'er ordered it." Lin Hongle answered a little embarrassedly.

"Well, it's great that you think of me!" Shen Yueqiao's smile froze on his face again. Why is this guy so honest?

"My dear wife, Le'er heard what Lin Liu said about your intention," Lin Hongle went straight to the point and asked, "But Le'er doesn't know who you want to move out."

"What does Le'er think?" Shen Yueqiao asked instead of answering. She would eventually embark on a career in politics, and she still hoped that all matters concerning the inner house would be handed over to Lin Hongle in the future.

"Le'er is thinking privately that my wife, you haven't married Shen Hui yet. If Shen Hui is moved to the west wing in the back house, it seems inappropriate." Lin Hongle said tentatively.

In fact, it would be most appropriate to let Shen Yueqiao marry Shen Hui and then let Shen Hui move into the west wing, but Lin Hongle just didn't want to say such words in person, and he was not willing to live under the same roof with Shen Hui. Although this situation would happen sooner or later, the later the better.

"So Le'er means that Xiao Cui should move to another place?" Shen Yueqiao asked tentatively.

"Well, the baby in her belly is not confirmed yet. It doesn't seem appropriate for her to live in the inner house." Lin Hongle looked a little embarrassed.

Shen Yueqiao observed Lin Hongle's expression and found that when he mentioned Shen Hui, there was obvious disgust between his brows, but when he mentioned Xiao Cui, there was a thoughtful look. He immediately understood his intention.

"How about this, let's move Xiao Cui to the east ear room. What do you think?" Although Shen Yueqiao knew that Lin Hongle would definitely agree, he still asked cautiously.

"Everything is up to my wife's arrangements." Lin Hongle's expression relaxed a little.

"Okay, that's it." Shen Yueqiao took a bite of the food, thought about it, and decided to talk to Lin Hongle again.

"Hongle, you can make the decision on these matters in the future, you don't have to go through me," Shen Yueqiao couldn't say it too harshly, nor too lightly, so he had to consider: "I will be away from home sometime in the future, you will always make the decision."

Although the words were spoken neither lightly nor harshly, Lin Hongle immediately stood up, looking as if he was listening to instructions obediently.

Shen Yueqiao sighed. She was really at a loss. How could she be nice to him? She really had no experience in love. She just gave him everything she thought was good.

A deep feeling of frustration surged into her heart, and she suddenly lost her appetite.

"Please enjoy your meal. I'm leaving first because I still have some books to read." Shen Yueqiao made a lame excuse and left without even looking at Lin Hongle's reaction.
