Chunyu's palm-sized face was full of excitement and he looked at Wen Qingzhi expectantly.

"Do you want to eat meat?"

Wen Qingzhi suddenly asked when she saw her thin appearance.

meat.

What a fresh word.

Chunyu couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten meat.

She looked up at Wen Qingzhi and felt even more distressed.

Occasionally, her father would secretly give her a couple of pieces of meat, but her daughter...had never even tasted the meat soup.

"what happened?"

Chunyu didn't reply for a long time, and Wen Qingzhi thought she had something to say.

Chunyu shook her head, thought for a while, and when she raised her head, there was a bright smile on her face.

"Girl! Let's eat braised pork today! My mother's braised pork is delicious!"

"Ah."

"Let's have some fish, shall we? My mom makes steamed fish tails, they're delicious too!"

"it is good."

"And, and..."

What else is coming?

She suddenly couldn't think of anything delicious that her mother cooked.

Chunyu was so anxious that she paced back and forth. Wen Qingzhi noticed her anxiety and said, "Let's cook the chicken, duck, fish and meat, and ask Sister Li to make the soup."

"Okay! I'll go now, slave!"

She ran away with a giggle, not noticing that Aunt Zhang, who was being tortured beyond recognition and blocked behind by the brothers Han Shuo and Han Yan, was in the process of being taken advantage of.

"This little girl was scared to death last night, but she's fine today?"

Han Yan looked at Chunyu's back curiously as he left.

Wen Qingzhi noticed this action and said to him in a warning tone, "Chunyu is still a child. If you have any bad thoughts, you'd better hide them from me."

When she said this, Butler Wang happened to come over and gave her a scolding.

His eyes unconsciously shifted to Han Yan with vigilance.

After last night, he became the housekeeper of the mansion.

"Miss, this is the book of things I found in Madam Zhang's room. I have sorted them out and recorded them all."

He handed the booklet to Wen Qingzhi and said, "There are too many things for me to carry, so I have left them all unopened inside the house. I will bring the booklet here for you to take a look."

Wen Qingzhi took the booklet and flipped through it. It was really shocking until you saw it.

This booklet is more than ten centimeters long and contains all the financial details that Nanny Zhang embezzled from the Wen family.

After reading it, Wen Qingzhi threw the booklet onto the worn table with a 'plop' sound and sneered, "She is quite greedy."

His eyes fell on Aunt Zhang, who was covered in blood, and he gave Han Yan a look.

Han Yan handed the results of last night's work to Butler Wang, "These are all the money this old woman has embezzled over the years. It records the information of all the shops. You can go and check them one by one, right?"

"Yes."

Butler Wang took the thick stack of booklets and his heart sank.

Wen Qingzhi said, "These shops should all belong to Aunt Zhang. You definitely can't handle it alone. Han Shuo, you have to work harder these days and follow Butler Wang to take back the shops."

"If you encounter anyone who disobeys... just kill them."

She has always been cruel and ruthless, and hates others going against her.

"No girl!"

Steward Wang advised, "The people in the shop are merely employed by the Marquisate, not actual servants. We cannot decide their life or death. If you kill them again, I'm afraid it will arouse public outrage."

I’m afraid that what happened last night will be made into a fuss.

"In that case... Uncle Wang, what do you think?"

"The fields and shops all belong to the Marquis' Mansion, so it's natural for the Mansion to take them back. If they don't comply, we'll report them to the authorities."

"It's up to you."

Wen Qingzhi also wanted to see to what extent the laws of this world could restrain people.

"If you encounter a tough challenge, stay and let me chew it."

She gave a bloodthirsty smile.

"Yes."

Steward Wang nodded and continued, "What I mean is that we should take back the shop first and then the land. The shop sustains the Marquisate, so the land is not urgent."

"only……"

He hesitated. "If the shop is really full of Madam Zhang's people, and they are all cleared out at once, I'm afraid the shop won't be able to operate normally. This matter..."

"clear."

Wen Qingzhi smoothed her hair and said, "Our mansion has been poor for so many years. Do we still care about being poor for a few more months?"

She doesn't care whether she has money or not, she only cares about who is loyal to her.

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

As he spoke, he bowed to Han Shuo again and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

He knew very well that those people following Aunt Zhang were not good people. If he were to go alone, he would probably not be able to complete the task given by the girl.

He had seen this young man's methods last night, and it would be easier to get things done with him around.

After Han Shuo and the others left, Wen Qingzhi came to Aunt Zhang, found a branch to lift her messy hair, and looked into her frightened eyes.

"Fear?"

Nanny Zhang nodded vigorously and begged her hoarsely to let her go.

"Wen Qingzhi once begged you like this."

Wen Qingzhi said coldly, "What about you? How did you do it?"

"You said... [People like you suffer all the time. Before you die, I'll let you be a woman again and enjoy happiness for once. Just be happy.], right?"

After hearing this, Han Yan couldn't help but frown.

How can you say such shameless words?

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Wen Qingzhi. Looking at her small figure, he couldn't imagine what she had experienced that night.

"Don't worry, as we are master and servant, I will let you experience this kind of happiness a few times."

After saying this, she stood up and ignored Aunt Zhang's pleading.

She bet on Han Yan and said, "Take her away, find a doctor, and treat her properly. After Butler Wang finishes the matter, we can go wherever we want."

"Yes."

She sat back and continued to look at the account book. The scattered accounts made her brows even more twisted.

These people are so bold. They bully Wen Qingzhi because she is a fool and no one is watching her. They are capable of doing anything.

After a while, Sister Li came in cheerfully, carrying porridge. "Girl, it's time to eat. Let's eat first and then watch!"

In the morning, there was porridge with some delicious side dishes. It was simple, but it suited Wen Qingzhi's appetite.

The Han Yan brothers also have a share.

"Hey...where's that young master? I've done my share of his work."

"I went out to do some work with Uncle Wang!"

Han Yan hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and his eyes widened when he saw the food.

He came over eagerly, "Miss Wen, can I have a free meal?"

"You will follow me during this period, and eat and drink here."

Wen Qingzhi drank the porridge and felt warm all over.

"Miss, I will clean up the original courtyard for you in a while, and you can go back and live there."

"No rush. I don't want one that someone else has lived in."

She said, "Many houses in the Marquis' Mansion are damaged. Let Uncle Wang find someone to repair them in a couple of days. By the way, I will also demolish the courtyard that Nanny Zhang has occupied and rebuild it. When the time comes, I will give you a blueprint. You can follow the blueprint to determine the layout."

"Yes."

Mrs. Li nodded.

"First, go clean up the east wing in my parents' yard and I'll move in. Clean up the west wing as well and give it to the two brothers to live in. They'll be there for a while."
