After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

Zheng Yanchen was helped into the backyard. He was dizzy and was about to walk towards Tingyuxuan, but Chengfeng pulled him back.

"Erlangjun, you forgot that you are injured and cannot..."

"Get lost!" Zheng Yanchen pushed Chengfeng away. "How dare you interfere in my affairs!"

Chengfeng received an order from Wen Shi, asking her to keep an eye on Zheng Yanchen and to exercise self-control if he wanted to recover from his injuries. But how could he control Zheng Yanchen in such a state?

Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly had an idea and chased after him, leaning over to Zheng Yanchen's ear and whispering, "Second Master, have you forgotten? That day, the young lady..."

Without waiting for Chengfeng to finish speaking, Zheng Yanchen suddenly turned around and glared at Chengfeng, scaring the man so much that he shrank back.

Zheng Yanchen had a tense face and said nothing.

Remembering Su Wan's face of resistance that night, he felt a surge of frustration. He looked ahead, his mind coming to its senses. He was the future heir of the Duke's mansion. How many people in the capital admired him, and yet he had lost his status because of a girl from the Su family? And what had caused Su Wan's sudden change of heart? Thinking about it, it must be because he had previously ignored her, and she had tried to please him repeatedly, but to no avail. Now, she was using a different tactic, playing hard to get. How else could someone's heart change so quickly?

Zheng Yanchen kept reminding himself that this must be the case. He smiled and shook his head. How could a man of integrity bow down to a fool like Su Wan? Su Wan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to control him? He was dreaming!

So he turned around and walked quickly to his yard!

When Chengfeng saw Zheng Yanchen returning to the yard angrily, he patted his chest and relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on his nervous face.

"Go find Yin Jue!"

Chengfeng paused, his face frozen.

Yin Jue was originally Zheng Yanchen's maidservant, but after he got married, she was promoted to concubine and lived in the small courtyard next to Tingyuxuan. However, after Zheng Yanchen got married, he was focused on his career and rarely visited Tingyuxuan. In addition, with the Wen family's influence, Zheng Yanchen rarely cared about Yin Jue.

Seeing Chengfeng frozen in place, Zheng Yanchen turned around and looked at him coldly, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

In the night, looking at that dark face, Chengfeng felt a chill on his back and had to go to Zhulan Garden.

However, Su Wan only smiled faintly when she learned that Zheng Yanchen had asked Yin Jue to wait on him. She then had someone make some hangover soup and sent it over, instructing Yin Jue to take good care of Zheng Yanchen. She then asked Yu Luo about Jiang Yun.

"that's it?"

"That's all." Yu Luo replayed every single question Jiang Yun had asked her today and her own answers, word for word. She'd thought Jiang Yun was the daughter of a prominent family, but she hadn't expected her to harbor such filthy thoughts. They say you can judge a person by their circumstances; no wonder the Zheng family chose the second young master as their wife when the Su and Zheng families married.

"I know, you did a good job."

Su Wan glanced at Yu Luo and said, "I did this to prevent trouble in the future. I think you should understand."

When Yu Luo met Su Wan's sharp light, she suddenly shuddered. Somehow she felt that the young lady was a little scary.

The young mistress was different now; she had her own plans. Furthermore, Su Wan had done her a favor, and she had sworn to be loyal to her. As a servant, she simply followed her master's orders and had no right to question the reasons behind them.

Yu Luo smiled slightly, "Young Madam has her own considerations when doing things. We servants are lucky to be able to share her worries. Therefore, we just need to shut up and do our work quietly, so as not to let down our master's trust."

Su Wan raised the corner of her mouth. This was also the reason why she trusted Yu Luo so much.

"I'm so lucky to have you guys by my side."

Yu Luo scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

After Yu Luo left the room, Liu Yan came in to urge Su Wan to bathe, and mentioned that Nanny Sun had been bullying the servants and causing trouble in recent days. Su Wan learned that Nanny Chen, the kitchen manager, had been wronged, and she thought of personally comforting her another day.

"Liuyan, I have to go to Mingxiangxuan tomorrow. I have something to tell Uncle Liu."

Liuyan frowned, "Young Madam, this is not appropriate. The eldest Madam has been in a bad mood in recent days and has some opinions about us. If we do this at this juncture, Madam will probably be in trouble again." The customs of Dachang do not have strict restrictions on women's travel, but Su Wan is already married, and frequent travel is not appropriate.

"Just say that my grandfather misses me and I want to go see him." When it comes to filial piety, Wen is always impeccable.

After making the decision, Su Wan washed up and went to bed peacefully. Zheng Yanchen, on the other hand, stayed awake all night because his injuries had not healed and he was very angry, which made him feel even worse.

The next day, Su Wan, citing her grandfather's advanced age and a desire to show more filial piety, requested a return visit to the Su household. Wen Shi wanted to reprimand her, but was afraid of being branded as immoral. Therefore, even though she was reluctant, she didn't bother to say anything.

After Su Wan left, she took her men to the Su family home, and then went to Mingxiangxuan under the pretext of buying her mother-in-law's favorite tea. The guards, who were drinking tea and listening to books on the first floor, assumed Su Wan was in a private room enjoying tea and the view as usual, so they ignored her.

Su Wan went through the private room to the side hall in the backyard.

"This old servant greets the young lady." Manager Liu bowed to Su Wan with a smile.

"Uncle Liu, you look so happy. I guess our tea shop is making good money."

Manager Liu couldn't hide his joy. "Thanks to the young lady, although I can't say I'm making a fortune every day, I have definitely made back my investment. I admire the young lady's insight."

Su Wan nodded and stopped talking. "I came here today to bring some things." As she spoke, Liu Yan brought out a box.

"This?" Manager Liu was dazed for a moment when he saw the shining jewelry and gold items.

"These are part of my dowry. Rather than leaving them in the mansion and using them as dowry for others in the future, it's better to convert them into money and keep them here to give people peace of mind. I'll have people bring out the lighter items one by one, and as for the larger items, you can leave them alone for now."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu was happy that Su Wan could think about the future, but he was also depressed about the black-hearted Duke's Mansion.

After Manager Liu took over, Su Wan asked again, "How are those people I asked you to train?"

"Don't worry, Madam. These people are all family-born and trustworthy. I've spent some time selecting some smart ones, so they should have no problem learning to read. After half a month of training, they've shown good results."

Su Wan nodded. These people were all preparing for future plans. She had very few people she could trust, and asking her second uncle for help was somewhat inconvenient. And trying to win over the powerful and oppose the aristocracy was simply a pipe dream. Therefore, she had to find another way.

"These people need to be able to inquire and pass on information, and most importantly, they must be loyal!" Su Wan emphasized again and again.

"Please rest assured, Madam. I know the importance of this matter and will be extremely cautious."

Su Wan was naturally assured of Manager Liu's ability.

"I remember last time you said you were planning to expand this shop. Have you ever met the owner of the shop next door?"

Manager Liu frowned, somewhat displeased. "A few days ago, I asked the manager of that shop to pass on a message, but there's still no reply."

"I see that shop isn't big, but it's in a good location. It might be useful to us in the future. We can buy it first and then do something else. That's why I came here today."

"If the owner is interested, as long as the price is not excessive, there is no need to worry too much."

"Yes."

Just at this moment, a servant knocked on the door and said that the owner of the shop was willing to negotiate, but the condition was to meet Su Wan, the owner.

Su Wan frowned, "Why do you have to see me?"

After understanding the general situation, Manager Liu came back and said, "This boss said that he knows the young lady and has something she wants."

Su Wan was puzzled. Could it be Xie Yin? But he didn't have to do this, did he?
