"My dear, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

Lu Shengyuan looked up and met Lin Wanqing's eyes.

"Now that I'm in charge of the household, I need to understand everything in the mansion. I'd like to start with the account books. What do you think, my husband?"

Lin Wanqing spoke softly, her eyes calm.

Lu Shengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"Account books? Do you understand the stakes involved?"

"Of course I know. The account books are related to the government's finances. If there are any mistakes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Wanqing's expression was solemn and his voice was firm.

"But since I've married into the Lu family, I'm a member of the Lu family. I have the responsibility and obligation to share the Lu family's worries."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, since you are so determined, I will hand the account book over to you. However, you must be careful and not be careless."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing was delighted and nodded quickly.

"Thank you for your trust, my husband."

Lu Shengyuan nodded slightly, stood up and walked out of the dining room.

Lin Wanqing looked at his departing back, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

She knew she had taken the first step.

In the days that followed, she not only had to familiarize herself with the affairs of the mansion, but also had to check the Lu family's accounts.

On the other side, Lu Ming was so angry that he returned to his room.

Su Qiaoer looked at Lu Ming's behavior and stepped forward to ask.

"Who made our Young Master Lu angry?"

Lu Ming looked at Su Qiaoer and became furious when he thought of Lin Wanqing.

"Who else could it be? It's Lin Wanqing. She's actually putting on airs in front of me now!"

Su Qiaoer was shocked when she heard this, but she remained gentle and considerate on the surface.

"So it's my sister. She might just be still angry about what happened before. Minglang, don't take it to heart."

Lu Ming looked at her sensible appearance, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

"Qiao'er, you understand me best. Don't worry, I will make her regret it sooner or later!"

Su Qiaoer heard this and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Lin Wanqing, I wonder how long you can remain so proud!

She thought so in her heart, but her face was full of tenderness.

"Minglang, I believe in you. You will definitely make her regret it."

Lu Ming looked at her, his heart filled with emotion.

"Qiao'er, thank you for always being by my side."

Su Qiaoer smiled slightly and snuggled in Lu Ming's arms.

"Minglang, what are you talking about? We are husband and wife."

couple?

When Lu Ming heard this, he paused, but was immediately overwhelmed by anger.

Yes, they are husband and wife. How can that vicious woman Lin Wanqing be worthy of him!

He must make her regret it!

At this time, Lin Wanqing was looking through the Lu family's account books in the study, completely unaware that a storm was approaching her.

Lin Wanqing looked at the account book in his hand with a frown.

She carefully flipped through each page, trying to find any loopholes.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps. Lin Wanqing looked up and saw Lu Ming walking in aggressively.

"Lin Wanqing, you are so bold! How dare you check the account books without permission!"

Lu Ming shouted loudly, his face full of anger.

Lin Wanqing looked at him with a calm expression.

"Lu Ming, since I'm a member of the Lu family, I have the right to inspect the account books. Moreover, these account books are related to the finances of the mansion. How can I ignore them?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming sneered.

"Humph, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Lu family?"

Lin Wanqing looked at him, speechless.

Is Lu Ming mentally ill? She has already married into the Lu family, so how can she become an outsider?

She didn't want to get entangled with Lu Ming, so she spoke in a cold voice.

"Lu Ming, please go out. I need to continue checking the account books."

Lu Ming looked at her, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"These account books are the product of my hard work. Don't even think about getting your hands on them!"

Lin Wanqing frowned when he heard this.

This Lu Ming is really unreasonable!

She didn't want to get entangled with Lu Ming, so she got up and walked out of the study.

But Lu Ming sneered at Lin Wanqing.

"Didn't you marry me just to piss me off? I'm warning you not to hurt Qiao'er."

Lin Wanqing felt more and more that this person was being unreasonable.

"I say again, I'm not interested in what's going on between you and Su Qiaoer."

Her words left Lu Ming stunned.

Lin Wanqing looked at his stunned expression and was speechless.

This Lu Ming is really speechless!

She no longer wanted to get entangled with Lu Ming and turned away.

Lu Ming looked at her departing back and felt angry.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't find any fault with Lin Wanqing!

Let’s see how she explains it then!

After Lin Wanqing returned to his room, he fell into deep thought.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Who?"

"It's me, Qiao'er."

When Su Qiaoer's voice came, Lin Wanqing was slightly stunned, but still got up and opened the door.

"Is something wrong?"

She looked at Su Qiaoer outside the door with a calm expression.

Su Qiaoer looked at her with a smile on her face.

"Sister, I heard you encountered some trouble while checking the account books?"

Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"Who did you listen to?"

Su Qiao'er was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "The servants in the mansion were discussing this matter, so I found out. Sister, you are new here and are not familiar with the affairs of the mansion. If you need anything, I can help you."

Lin Wanqing looked at her and sneered in his heart.

"You call me sister? According to seniority, shouldn't you call me mother now?"

Su Qiao'er was speechless after being retorted by her. She almost forgot that she was still a concubine.

Lin Wanqing was already Lu Shengyuanming's legal wife, so according to the rules, she should call Lin Wanqing mother.

But how could she be willing to do that?

Lin Wanqing looked at her unpredictable expression and sneered in his heart.

"If you have nothing else to do, please go back. I still need to check the account books."

With that, she turned and walked towards the desk.

Su Qiaoer frowned as she looked at the account book.

It cost a lot of money to have a grand wedding.

Her family also made some money from it. If they were to be discovered...

Su Qiaoer suddenly had an idea and moved closer.

"Mother, you don't know that these account books are Minglang's hard work. If you flip through them casually and he finds out, he'll probably be unhappy."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile.

"Oh? Really? But I've already read it. What if he knows?"

Su Qiaoer looked at her fearless look and felt angry in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on the surface.

"Mother, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that Minglang cares a lot about these account books. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I'm more familiar with the affairs of the mansion."

Lin Wanqing looked at her and sneered in his heart.

"Lu Ming already knows."

Su Qiaoer was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"He...he didn't say anything, right?"

Lin Wanqing looked at her with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Su Qiaoer felt angry when she saw her like this, but she couldn't show it.
