"Since mother said so, I will not care about Aunt Bai from now on." Ye Qinghuan was calm.

Old Madam Shen was stunned.

Why don't you bring up the housekeeper's power?

"Everyone in the courtyard listen up. From now on, once we leave Jinfeng Courtyard, anything that happens to Aunt Bai will have nothing to do with us." Ye Qinghuan only talked about Aunt Bai and never mentioned the housekeeper's power.

What a joke! She didn't manage the household before because she thought it was troublesome and didn't want to worry about anyone. Now that she and Shen Lin are getting along like this, she would be a fool to let her manage the household.

Everyone responded: "Yes."

It just so happened that today was the time for the monthly allowance to be distributed. The nanny in charge of distributing the money had just received the money and asked in embarrassment, "Excuse me, Madam, is Aunt Bai's monthly allowance still being distributed?"

"I can't control Aunt Bai, so I won't send it." Ye Qinghuan said.

Madam Shen and Bai Zhi's faces turned ugly.

"Ye, what do you mean?"

"Aunt Bai is under the direct management of mother, so let mother pay the monthly allowance!" Ye Qinghuan said.

Old Madam Shen was furious: "Humph, you are threatening your mother-in-law? Do you think the Shen Mansion will be useless without you? Hand over the housekeeper's key, and you won't have to take care of it anymore."

"I'm sorry, I can't obey your order." Ye Qinghuan actually dared to refuse?

Mrs. Shen was stunned.

How dare she disobey? Which daughter-in-law dares to go against her mother-in-law like this?

"At first, my daughter-in-law said she didn't want to manage the household anymore, and she refused several times. It was my mother who insisted that I manage the household. Now, how can I take back the management rights just for Aunt Bai?

If it gets out, it means he favors his concubine and neglects his wife! What about my mother-in-law? Where is the Shen family tradition? How will my second brother discuss marriage in the future?

Of course, I know this is not what mother intended. It was Aunt Bai who did it. I don't blame mother, and I ask her to reconsider. "

Ye Qinghuan said a lot in one breath, and every word made sense.

Old Madam Shen's chest heaved violently.

Although he was very angry, he was stumped by the sentence "He favors his concubine and neglects his wife, how can his second brother arrange a marriage?"

"Madam, you misunderstood. The old lady was just angry and said that for fun. She didn't really mean to take away the housekeeper's power." Bai Zhi said quickly.

It is important for the Second Young Master to arrange a marriage, the housekeeper's power can be taken away slowly.

Madam Shen took a deep breath and said, "You are really sharp-tongued. I say one sentence, and you say ten!"

"Mother praised me." Ye Qinghuan smiled slightly.

Old Madam Shen's eyes twitched. She really couldn't do anything about her, so she left angrily.

I regret it! Why did I marry Shen Lin to such a powerful wife?

Not only did he control Shen Lin, but he also controlled his mother-in-law.

"Don't worry, old lady. Everything will be fine when the second young master comes back." Bai Zhi comforted in a low voice.

Mrs. Shen thought of her youngest son and felt a pang of pain in her heart: "If I had known that Rong'er would be back so soon, I would not have given up the housekeeper position..."

"Madam, I was reckless today. Next time, I will look for an opportunity."

"It is imperative to win favor. Understand?"

"I understand."

Only then did Mrs. Shen feel relieved.

No matter how powerful Ye Qinghuan is, she still relies on Shen Lin's power.

Once she falls out of favor, let’s see how she can still act so arrogantly!

Su Jinxiu walked out from the corner and watched them go away thoughtfully.

"Madam, the servant said the general just returned home."

Su Jinxiu clenched the embroidered handkerchief and went to find Shen Lin nervously.

Shen Lin had just returned from the palace, holding a brocade box in his hand, looking very happy.

Su Jinxiu guessed that it might be a treasure awarded by the emperor. Confess it while he is in a good mood!

"Brother Lin!"

Su Jinxiu knelt down suddenly.

Shen Lin's smile disappeared: "I don't want to see you, get out!"

"Brother Lin, I was wrong that day. I will never dare to do it again. But Brother Lin, you have to be careful of Aunt Bai." Su Jinxiu said in a low voice.

Shen Lin pursed his lips tightly and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Brother Lin knows how powerful the poison is. I have already lost my virginity." Su Jinxiu crawled on the ground, "But Brother Lin actually told the old lady that he would consummate the marriage with me..."

Su Jinxiu choked up a few times and continued, "Brother Lin, you saved my life. I want to repay you."

Shen Lin asked coldly: "How to repay?"

"Today the old lady wants to take away Madam's power to manage the household. Given Madam's personality, I'm sure she won't complain to the general. I'd like to ask Brother Lin to lend a helping hand to Madam."

Shen Lin's face changed drastically.

"Also, I just heard that mother asked Aunt Bai to seize the favor so that the Madam would lose power. Brother Lin, Aunt Bai imitates the Madam in every way, you must not be fooled by her!"

Su Jinxiu's words were earnest and her expression was sincere.

Shen Lin motioned for her to stand up and talk.

Su Jinxiu's uneasy heart slowly settled back into her stomach.

"Can you help her at home?" Shen Lin asked.

"We must try our best!" Su Jinxiu became excited.

"Very good! If you protect her, I will protect you. Even if you get pregnant, I have a way to deal with it for you."

"Brother Lin, thank you..."

Shen Lin walked away, and Su Jinxiu covered her mouth and cried bitterly.

Lin Ge was not ruthless to her, but she was so devoted to her aunt that she hurt his heart. She finally made the right choice in her life!

Unfortunately, she no longer had the chance to be Lin Ge's woman. She was lucky to be able to keep her status as a concubine and live well.

Shen Lin's good mood disappeared completely. Instead of returning to Jinfengyuan, he went to Fushouyuan.

"The son pays his respects to his mother."

Old Madam Shen had just been mad at Ye Qinghuan, and she was annoyed when she saw Shen Lin: "Where are you from?"

"In the palace."

"Your wife is really..."

Snapped!

The brocade box in Shen Lin's hand fell to the ground, interrupting Madam Shen's complaints.

"Lin'er, what did you take?" Old Madam Shen stared at the box and felt it looked very familiar.

"This is the reward given to Ye Qinghuan by the emperor." Shen Lin opened the brocade box, and inside was a night-shining pearl as big as a fist.

Old Madam Shen stared with wide eyes: "No wonder the box looks familiar to me. Is there a Jade Concubine as well?"

"Yes." Shen Lin put the night-shining pearl away. "The emperor said that Zong Xue's matter caused the general's wife to suffer injustice, so he gave me this special reward."

"Your Majesty... is really considerate of the Shen family." Old Madam Shen said embarrassedly, and could no longer say anything to scold Ye Qinghuan.

Shen Lin said: "Mother, you don't know that Zong Xue is the Third Prince's man, and also the Duke of Zhenguo's man."

"what?"

Old Madam Shen was horrified.

Isn’t Zong Xue’s purpose of entering the mansion the same as Zhao Qingyao’s?

Oh my god, luckily Zong Xue is dead. Otherwise, if they kept a troublemaker at home every day, the Shen family would be in danger of being destroyed at any time!

"Mother, Ye Qinghuan has made great contributions." Shen Lin said, "I arranged everything that happened yesterday."

Old Madam Shen felt mixed emotions and was unable to respond.

"The emperor also asked about my second brother today. I jokingly asked for a marriage for him, and the emperor agreed." Shen Lin said again.

Madam Shen was immediately overjoyed and stood up, holding onto the table: "Did the Emperor really agree?"

"Yes. Mother can watch over them secretly. When my second brother returns to the capital and finds someone he likes, he can ask for permission."

"Good, good!"

Old Man Shen was so excited that he said three good words in a row. He liked Shen Lin so much that why would he care about Ye Qinghuan?

Shen Lin felt sad and lowered his eyelids silently.
