It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Xiao Yanlin's words were both a promise and an indulgence.

He was telling her that she didn't have to be bound by these titles and could be herself bravely.

He was also giving her confidence——

There is no need to wrong yourself for these illusory titles in the future.

For Gu Baiyu, this is a promise heavier than a thousand pounds, and it is also a surging love.

Thousands of words turned into just one kiss at this moment.

She climbed onto the man's strong arms with both hands, and Gu Baiyu felt the hot kiss almost eagerly.

Even when it was time to leave, it was a bit hard to leave.

The expression on Xiao Yanlin's face was a little distressed.

"Yu'er, the doctor said you should abstain from sex during this period."

Only then did Gu Baiyu feel something strange about the man.

She retreated a little embarrassedly and covered her face with the quilt in embarrassment, revealing only a pair of eyes looking at Xiao Yanlin.

She looked innocent, but the fire in Xiao Yanlin's heart suddenly burned up, and her voice became hoarse.

"Ma'am, it's not a good habit to light a fire without taking responsibility."

That night, Xiao Yanlin did not disobey the doctor's request, but Gu Baiyu also suffered a lot. When he woke up in the morning, his wrists were still a little sore.

However, Gu Baiyu didn't have much time to think about what was waiting for him.

She made an appointment with the old housekeeper to meet with the major shopkeepers who manage the property of the Marquis Mansion today.

At this time, the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

The ten shopkeepers were invited to the main hall by the old housekeeper, and they all sat together.

The old housekeeper excused himself to take care of something and asked them to wait there.

Several people were fidgeting and winking at each other.

Some of them couldn't hold it any longer and asked, "Have you all heard the news? I heard that Madam wants to see us?"

"I know this. I heard that Madam will be in charge of all the properties of the Hou Mansion in the future, so she asked us to come and meet her."

"What kind of temper do you think Madam has? She won't make things difficult for us, right?"

Someone sneered, "If you take care of business for the Marquis well on weekdays, why would you be afraid that your wife will embarrass you?"

Some people also have different opinions, "It's hard to say. We are the Marquis's people after all. The mistress of the house is here and wants to manage the Marquis's property. How can there be no reason not to change? Maybe some of us are How many people are going to be replaced?"

Everyone was whispering, some were indifferent, while others were nervous.

But everyone is guessing in their hearts, what is the temperament of the lady they are about to meet? "

At the same time, Gu Ruanruan also found Shuanghong.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the main hall. I heard that the shopkeepers are already here."

Shuanghong followed Gu Ruanruan silently, and didn't stop until she reached the outside of the main hall.

Gu Ruanruan turned around and urged her: "Hurry up."

Shuanghong was unmoved, but asked, "The day before yesterday, you only told me about your ability in accounting. I also read it. It is indeed a little different, but based on this alone, you want to suppress me." It's impossible to live as a mistress. There must be something else you haven't told me that I don't know about. If you don't tell me, I won't agree to speak for you."

Gu Ruanruan stamped his feet anxiously, why does this man keep his words?

She suppressed her anger and said: "Of course I have my own way! Just follow me in!"

Shuanghong still shook her head: "No, you tell me first. Also, my wife hasn't come yet. My aunt and I are both servants. It's against the rules to go early. Why don't you take this time to talk to me first?" What is your greatest confidence? When the time comes, when Madam goes in first and we show up, I can speak for you."

Gu Ruanruan glanced in the direction of the main hall and could vaguely hear the sound of someone talking inside.

Thinking that she must seize this opportunity today to get some power from Gu Baiyu, she gritted her teeth and said vaguely: "Not all of these people in charge are willing to obey Madam's instructions. There are some capable people down there..."

Gu Ruanruan said that Shuanghong understood.

Gu Ruanruan must be trying to sow discord.

Those shopkeepers have been helping Mr. Hou for many years. They are willing to be loyal to Mr. Hou, but they are not necessarily willing to be loyal to Gu Baiyu.

Besides, after Gu Baiyu takes over the Hou Mansion's property, he might also place his own people there.

Thinking this way, Shuanghong lowered her eyes.

"Aunt Gu, don't blame me for talking too much. These shopkeepers are all smart people. You have only known them for a short time. Some of them may not be well understood. If you don't know enough, some people will pretend to cooperate with you. Sometimes they will regret it temporarily and then show up in front of Madam. It's hard to claim credit. I know more about those shopkeepers than you do, so why don't you tell me first, who are the people who are not convinced by Madam?"

Shuanghong pointed to a corner not far away: "Go over there, lest anything bad happens when Madam comes over later."

……

When Gu Baiyu went to the main hall, he vaguely heard voices inside.

Gu Baiyu winked at Lin Yu, Lingyu cleared her throat and made some noise, and there was silence for a while.

Gu Baiyu then slowly walked to the main hall.

Seeing Gu Baiyu coming, everyone stood up and saluted. Gu Baiyu was not polite to them. He stood and accepted the courtesy and asked them to sit down.

"Excuse me for your time to come here today. I believe you have heard from the old housekeeper that from now on all the property in the house, as well as your accounts, will have to go through me."

Among these shopkeepers, a fatter and kind-looking shopkeeper said, "What Madam said is as it should be. We used to be loyal to Mr. Marquis, but now we are naturally loyal to Mr. Marquis and Madam." .”

Immediately after he finished speaking, some people echoed his words, but others remained silent, just waiting to see what would happen next.

Gu Baiyu nodded and said, "I asked the old housekeeper to inform you before that all the shopkeepers should bring the account books of the shops and properties under their management for the past six months. I wonder if you have brought them."

"Of course I brought it with me, but these accounts used to be shown to the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper is also very proficient in this. From time to time, he can give us some advice to help the prince develop the industry. I just don't know if Madam has brought it with me. Is someone here to help with the accounts?"

The person who spoke was thin and small, very inconspicuous.

Gu Baiyu looked at it slightly. This man had a mustache and a shrewd look in his eyes.

Gu Baiyu understood that someone was questioning the ability of his subordinates.

She smiled slightly and said: "Look, I can understand a little bit, but I'm not as proficient as the old housekeeper. But if I'm proficient in these things, what do you want the shopkeepers to do? I just need to be able to read these things. I don't have to be like you." Drill camp.”

The implication of this is that you are servants and help the Hou Mansion take care of the accounts, so you are familiar with this and you rely on it for a living. You must rely on this ability to make a living under my hands.

But Gu Baiyu is the master, the master of the Hou Mansion. She doesn't need to understand these things, someone will tell her, and someone will help her. Why should she condescend to be as proficient in everything as the shopkeepers like them?

The provocative shopkeeper felt like he had been slapped in the face. He wanted to refute, but couldn't find the words to refute for a while. He only had one thought in his mind -

Aunt Gu was right, Madam really wanted to touch them!

Otherwise, why would you say such a thing!

Doesn't this blatantly imply that they are just dispensable?

If she is not happy, someone more powerful will immediately replace them!
