After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 54

After carefully putting the ginseng back into the box, Luo Shuiyao turned her attention to the other gift boxes.

She gently opened the second box, revealing a set of gold and jeweled headpieces. While the jewelry was priceless, it felt old-fashioned and unsuitable for someone so young. However, she certainly wouldn't despise this unexpected windfall; after all, it could be exchanged for something else.

Then, Luo Shuiyao turned her attention to the next box. She gently opened the lid and took out a piece of paper. On it was the word "Land Deed" written clearly.

A closer look revealed that it was actually the deed to a farm outside the city. This didn't surprise her. She had vaguely seen the words "land deed" written on the box when the maid handed it to her.

However, it was the deed to Zhuangzi's land, which was better for her and exactly what she needed at the moment.

She looked at the last box again, and as expected, it was filled with banknotes. She reached out and took them out, counting them carefully. There were thirty of them, each worth one hundred taels, which meant three thousand taels of banknotes.

She once again lamented the wealth of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. If the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion didn't give her any more trouble in the future, that would be perfect. Her grudge against them would be over.

Afterwards, Luo Shuiyao called Chuntao over. "Keep these things for now. You'll be in charge of our yard's accounts in the future."

Chuntao was startled for a moment, then a look of deep emotion crossed her face, tears glistening in her eyes as she slowly took the box. Technically, she and the young lady had only known each other for a few days, yet she had entrusted such an important task as accounting to her. Since the young lady trusted her so much, she would do her utmost to help her and would never let her down.

Shuiyao smiled and nodded slightly at Chuntao. She naturally believed in Chuntao's ability. After spending the past few days together, she felt that Chuntao was thoughtful, skillful, and most importantly, smart.

A few days ago, she accidentally discovered that Chuntao, who had never learned the multiplication table, could easily calculate numbers within a thousand characters. After testing, she found that she was also extremely sensitive to numbers.

Luo Shuiyao sighed inwardly, what a talent! She had already decided to hand over the accounts to Chuntao. She gladly accepted Chuntao's gratitude. As the saying goes, trust your employees; don't employ them if you doubt them. To be a good leader, you must delegate tasks and place the right people in the right positions, so they can achieve greater results.

Watching Chun Xing and Chun Tao carry the box out, Luo Shuiyao finally collapsed onto the couch, disregarding her image. She'd been carrying it all day, and she was exhausted. After all, her own little nest was still the most comfortable.

Luo Shuiyao lay quietly on the small couch, her eyes empty, her thoughts like catkins floating in the wind, drifting to who knows where.

After Chun Xing and Chun Tao put the box away, they returned to report to her: "Miss, we have packed up the things and registered them. Do you have any other instructions?"

Luo Shuiyao waved her hand gently, "Okay, you guys sit down and have a rest." Her voice was soft, with a hint of fatigue.

Chun Xing was very perceptive and quickly brewed a pot of tea, and then quickly handed it to her. Luo Shuiyao took the teacup and took a sip. The warm tea slid down her throat, slightly soothing her tired body and mind.

Chun Tao followed closely behind, quickly walked to the small couch, and sat down lightly beside Luo Shuiyao's legs. She stretched out her hands and gently pinched Luo Shuiyao's legs, her movements gentle and skillful.

Luo Shuiyao narrowed her eyes comfortably, her lips curled up slightly in a satisfied smile. "This is how life should be," she murmured softly, feeling a little regretful that she had traveled so late. If only she had arrived in this world earlier and enjoyed such a comfortable life, how wonderful it would have been.

Du Juan gently lifted the door curtain and saw her young lady lying on the bed in an extremely comfortable position, with someone gently massaging her legs and someone carefully massaging her shoulders. Du Juan looked at this scene and suddenly felt a surge of grievances in her heart.

"Miss."

Du Juan's voice trembled slightly. Luo Shuiyao opened her eyes and asked in confusion: "Huh? Du Juan is back? What's wrong with you?"

Du Juan pursed her lips tightly, tears welling in her eyes. She looked at Luo Shuiyao, feeling a grievance she couldn't express in words.

"Miss, you've gone too far. You asked me to run errands for you, but you let someone else take my place." Dujuan's voice was tearful, and the bitterness in her heart surged like a tide.

Du Juan felt that she was the first to follow the young lady and had always been devoted to her. Now, seeing Chun Xing and Chun Tao being so attentive, she felt that her position had been taken away, and the grievance she felt could no longer be suppressed.

Seeing Du Juan's excellent singing and recitation, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Seeing her young lady's reaction like this, Du Juan felt even more aggrieved. "Young lady, you are actually laughing at me!" Her voice was extremely aggrieved, and her eyes became redder.

Luo Shuiyao looked at Du Juan's pitiful appearance, and a rare sense of guilt welled up in her heart. She quickly stopped smiling and said softly, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Don't feel wronged anymore. Come, have a cup of tea."

As she spoke, Luo Shuiyao picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Du Juan. Du Juan looked at the tea the lady handed her, pouting slightly, but still reached out to take it. She took a sip of the tea, and the grievance in her heart quietly faded away.

However, the grievance gradually faded, and shame quietly welled up in her heart. Just now, in a moment of emotion, she had cried and quarreled with the young lady. Now thinking about it, it was her fault. So, she clenched the teacup in her hand, slowly lowered her head, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

Seeing Dujuan finish the tea in the cup and now look ashamed and uneasy, Luo Shuiyao raised an eyebrow, but stopped making fun of her and pretended not to notice her discomfort.

He waved his hand, letting Chun Xing and Chun Tao leave, and then asked softly, "Did you complete what I asked you to do?"

Speaking of business, Du Juan ignored her emotions and raised her head, saying, "Miss, don't worry. I'll take action and things will be done naturally. They also said...they also said that you should pay more attention to the movements of Qiuliyuan next door in the near future."

Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly. She was thinking about her next plan in her heart. The sunlight poured into the room through the window, and the room was quiet.

Hidden Dragon Division, Government Affairs Hall.

Ye Yunzhou sat at the desk, holding an unfinished memorial in his hand, writing attentively, and flipping through the books on the table from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
