Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Could it be that sister-in-law really brought Nanny Gui back? She is not an easy person to deal with and is full of bad intentions!" Yun Shuxuan asked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.

Zhou Mujin did not respond to his question immediately, but turned to look at Shen Chuning with a smile on his face.

Seeing Shen Chuning nodded, Zhou Mujin said softly, "This time, it's all thanks to An Ning's reminder. Mother has always complained that the maids in the room are too young and not steady enough. An Ning said that there are many older maids in the mansion. Wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to just pick one from the mansion instead of going to the farm to fetch Nanny Gui? So I thought of the maids guarding the second gate. They are all old and trustworthy, so I decided to transfer one of them to Songhe Hall to serve Mother."

Hearing this, Yun Shuxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because he knew in his heart that the maids at the second gate were useless in other positions, and considering that his whole family was working in the mansion and did not want them to go to the farm, he sent them to the second gate.

They are used to being lazy on weekdays and always take advantage of their age and seniority. How can they do the job of serving others?

Now if they are asked to serve Old Madam Shen, I'm afraid she will suffer!

But then again, for the old woman who was transferred to work at Songhetang, this was truly a godsend!

Originally just an ordinary gatekeeper, she has now suddenly risen to become the housekeeper in the old lady's room, and the monthly salary she can receive has tripled!

With such generous treatment in front of her, the old woman naturally obeyed Zhou Mujin's words.

However, Mrs. Shen's mischief did not end there. Not long after, she started to make a fuss again, clamoring to go to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense.

At first, Zhou Mujin comforted her gently and said that when he was free, he would accompany her there in person.

But no one expected that this time, Madam Shen seemed to be determined. If she didn't go to Daxiangguo Temple, she would make a fuss all day, even to the point of refusing to eat or drink.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to handle, it was finally Mrs. Shen San, Qin Qimei, who stepped forward and expressed her willingness to accompany Mrs. Shen to Daxiangguo Temple.

In this way, the farce finally subsided temporarily.

Just as they left the capital, Zhou Mujin hurriedly left the capital.

She only left some silver in the house that was just enough to cover daily expenses and normal operations. As for those other luxurious consumptions, that was simply wishful thinking!

As for the housekeeper's pair of cards, Zhou Mujin threw them directly into Shen Huaizhong's study. Anyone who wanted to withdraw money could go to Shen Huaizhong to ask for it.

On the other side, Madam Shen had already reached the Daxiangguo Temple.

She was filled with joy and prepared to add some money to the incense offerings to pray to the Buddha to bless the Shen family with peace, prosperity and wealth.

However, when she reached out to the people around her to ask for the money, she was shocked to find that no one could afford it.

According to previous rules, every household would pay a certain amount of incense money from the public account to offer to the temple every year.

If someone wants to come alone to pray and petition during the year, the required expenses need to be paid from the individual's private treasury.

However, when Yun Shuxuan was in charge of the Shen family's internal affairs, even if Old Madam Shen only came to burn incense and add incense money, this part of the expenses would be borne by the public account.

However, now that Zhou Mujin is in charge, she is unwilling to even give out such a small amount of silver.

Qin Qimei, who came to burn incense with Old Madam Shen, looked even more embarrassed at this time, because she herself was short of money and could not come up with the money at all.

"You accompanied me to burn incense, why didn't you bring any money?" Mrs. Shen asked sternly.

"Mother...mother only said...only said that she wanted her daughter-in-law to accompany her to burn incense, and she didn't...didn't say anything else." Qin Qimei answered hesitantly.

Madam Shen frowned, "Useless thing, you don't know any rules."

Qin Qimei muttered to herself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

In the end, out of desperation, Mrs. Shen had to grit her teeth and took out three hundred taels of silver from her purse as money for incense.

Despite this, she still felt extremely aggrieved and embarrassed.

You know, every time she came to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense, she would spend at least one thousand and two taels of silver as incense money!

Especially when Master Liaochen calculated that the Shen family had a phoenix destiny, she did not hesitate to add tens of thousands of taels of silver in incense money to the Daxiangguo Temple!

The only thing that made her feel a little relieved during this pilgrimage was that Master Liaochen had finally ended his retreat and came out of seclusion.

In recent days, the Shen family has encountered many misfortunes one after another, and all kinds of troubles have come one after another, making Old Lady Shen worried and anxious all day long.

Therefore, when she heard the news that Master Lechen had appeared again, she rushed to Daxiangguo Temple in a panic.

In the meditation room of Daxiangguo Temple, Old Madam Shen and Master Liaochen sat opposite each other.

Old Madam Shen spoke first with a pious look on her face, "Master Liaochen, twenty years ago, when our Shen family had no daughters yet, you, with your omniscient wisdom, predicted that our Shen family would give birth to someone with the destiny of a phoenix. Fortunately, God has shown mercy and grace, and the Shen family has indeed been blessed with two daughters. But..."

When Mrs. Shen said this, she fell silent in embarrassment.

"Donor, you want to ask, which girl in the Shen family is the one with a noble destiny?" Master Lechen asked calmly.
