I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Very sweet."

Wen Qingzhi pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Zheng Shu with curved eyebrows. "There shouldn't be anything to do next. Tomorrow I'll take you for a walk in the street."

"No rush, sister, take a good rest first!"

Zheng Shu was sensible. She knew that Wen Qingzhi must have suffered a lot of grievances in the palace, which was why she looked tired.

Hearing her say that, Wen Qingzhi naturally didn't say anything else. She was indeed very tired.

"Mother, I've been away from home for the time I've been here. Is everything going well at home?"

Hearing her question, a hint of embarrassment flashed across everyone's face. Soon, Zheng's mother said, "It's all good, all good."

"You've just returned, so take a good rest and don't worry about these things. I'll have someone send you the account books for this period tomorrow, and you can check them yourself."

"No, my mother has always been cautious in her work. I don't need to watch."

She was assured of Zheng's mother.

Hearing this, Zheng's mother's eyes were filled with smiles, and she was full of pity for Wen Qingzhi.

"Silly child, you still have to watch it."

Mother Zheng said earnestly, "When you were not at home, I made all the decisions on my own. Now that you are back, it is still up to you to manage the house."

"it is good."

Wen Qingzhi nodded and asked, "How are my sister-in-law and Xiao Shitou these days?"

When they were mentioned, the Zheng family members' faces fell, as if they had something to hide.

Finally, it was Zheng Yue who spoke up: "We don't know whether your sister-in-law is doing well or not."

Seeing Wen Qingzhi's confusion, Zheng Yue continued, "After you left, she was in charge of the small warehouse as you wished. After that, she almost never left the yard. Food and drink were brought in. Later, they opened a separate door on the other side of the yard, saying it was convenient for coming in and out."

"After that, I basically never saw them come out."

Zheng Yue said, "I ran into your sister-in-law and her younger sister a few times when she was out shopping. I heard they were chatting and laughing on the street... After that, nothing more happened."

Wen Qingzhi could understand what she meant and frowned unconsciously, "What exactly are they going to do?"

How dangerous would it be to just open a small door connecting their yards?

"Mother, have you sent anyone to guard the gate?"

Mother Zheng shook her head. "I sent Zhang He, but he refused. They said they would find someone to guard the place themselves."

"Are they looking for someone?"

Wen Qingzhi was displeased. "How can I find a reliable man outside the family when two women are taking care of my brother's child? Did my sister-in-law say this, or did Jiang Nian say this?"

"Don't be angry yet."

Mother Zheng said, "It was your sister-in-law who said that. However, she's not like that. I think it must have been her sister's idea."

Mother Zheng disliked Jiang Yao, but she was Wen Qingzhi's family member. But Jiang Nian was different. To her, Jiang Nian had no relationship with her.

After spending some time together, she had gotten to know Jiang Yao's personality. Whenever there was a slight disturbance in the courtyard, it was definitely Jiang Nian's doing.

"I understand what you mean."

Wen Qingzhi knew Jiang Yao's character very well. She wouldn't do anything that would embarrass everyone, but she couldn't resist being easily deceived and letting others talk about her.

"Mother, I'll go over and see what's going on. If Jiang Nian is really the one causing this, then we can't keep her here any longer."

She stood up and wanted to go find Jiang Yao, but was stopped by Zheng's mother.

"Azhi, there's no need to rush."

Mother Zheng came over and said to her, "Someone will go and report your return. Let's see if she comes to see you first."

Wen Qingzhi understood what she meant and nodded, "Don't worry, mother. I understand what you mean."

If Jiang Yao knew she was back and still refused to come and see her, then there was really no need to show any mercy.

Mother Zheng sighed, "We are all family, there is nothing we can't get over."

Wen Qingzhi forced out a dull smile, "Don't worry, mother. I understand."

Time passed minute by minute, and the few of them chatted about family matters. Wen Qingzhi also learned that everything was going well in the mansion recently, so she felt relieved.

During her absence, Mother Zheng reorganized the rules of the mansion, and the maids were taught the rules by her people.

Today, the Marquis' Mansion is becoming more and more like a Marquis' Mansion.

With the guidance and instruction from Mother Zheng, Wen Qingzhi felt a lot more relaxed.

In the past, although the people in the mansion were obedient, they always lacked rules.

If you really go to some occasions, to put it bluntly, it's not presentable.

She didn't understand the rules, so she couldn't ask others to do the same. Now, Zheng's mother helped her to discipline the people, which made her worry less.

"As long as my mother is here, I don't have to worry about anything. I really want to be with my mother forever..."

Her words were not entirely flattery, but also contained a bit of sincerity.

With Zheng's mother around, she really felt relaxed.

"Look at you!"

Mother Zheng smiled happily, "Aren't you my child? If you want, we can really be together for the rest of our lives."

She looked at her son Zheng Lin and saw his cheeks flushed, and then he laughed out loud.

Unfortunately, Wen Qingzhi did not understand her good intentions.

Soon, Chunyu came and said that Wen Qingzhi's place had warmed up and hot soup was ready.

"Mother, I'm going to go back and wash up first, and come see you later."

She stood up, bowed to everyone, exchanged a few words of greeting, and left with Chunyu.

On the way, Chunyu followed her obediently without saying anything.

From time to time, she raised her little head and looked at Wen Qingzhi quietly, and her little action of wanting to say something but stopping herself was caught by Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi asked: "What do you want to say?"

"I have nothing to say."

Chunyu shook his head and refused to speak.

"really?"

Wen Qingzhi was still a little uncomfortable with Chunyu's caution.

She said, "There are no outsiders here. You can say whatever you want."

"Slave..."

Chunyu spoke, her voice choked with sobs, "I just, I just miss you, young lady..."

Wen Qingzhi was amused by her appearance, "If you miss me, just say it directly. Why are you being so shy?"

Chunyu sobbed twice, then immediately wiped away her tears and said, "No, no, I am the young lady's maid. I can't be petty and cry at every turn. This is useless and will cause trouble for the young lady."

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhi stood there in a daze.

She understood that it must be Zheng's mother who helped to train him.

It was not easy for Zheng's mother to correct Chunyu's daily minor faults with her painstaking efforts.

But she really felt bad for Chunyu because she was just a child.

"It doesn't matter."

Wen Qingzhi continued walking forward, "When no one is around, just be the same as before. You can't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders, but it doesn't count in the mansion."

"Really!!"

The little girl's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Well, really."

“Thank you, girl!!”

But she was so suffocated!

Chunyu looked around and saw no one was around. She took small steps to Wen Qingzhi's side and choked up, "Wow, young lady, I missed you so much during the time you were away!!"

"Have you missed your servant?"
