Shen Yuebai, ever since he received Fang Ling's order to stock up on more food, charcoal, and cotton.

He arranged for many people to go to surrounding countries to purchase corresponding goods.

It only took half a month to successfully acquire enough charcoal for everyone in the capital to use for an entire winter.

Half and half golden charcoal and ordinary charcoal.

And also purchased a lot of grain and cotton at lower prices.

As usual, he arrived at Duke Fang's mansion early in the morning.

He reported business matters to Fang Ling.

He doesn't talk much about the tedious details of business.

Just report some major matters that must be decided by Fang Ling together.

Dressed in white clothes and carrying a food box in his hand, he slowly walked into Qinxiang Garden.

Shuitao was sitting on the stone bench in the yard, playing with a plum blossom in her hand.

The expression on his face was a little lonely.

When Shen Yuebai saw her, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with a gentle smile on his face.

He quickened his pace, walked to Shuitao, and spoke warmly,

"Why are you unhappy?"

Shuitao raised his head and pursed his lips.

"The lady won't let me do her makeup these days."

"I just want Chunmei and Xia Zhu to help her."

"But I've been used to serving young ladies since I was a child. Suddenly, young ladies don't need me. I'm inevitably a little uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Shen Yuebai understood immediately.

A few days ago, the master specifically told him.

Soon, Shuitao will marry into the Shen Mansion.

She had to gradually let Shuitao adapt to her status as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion.

I don't want her to serve others as a slave all the time.

Shen Yuebai placed the food box in his hand on the stone table in front of Shuitao.

Then he sat next to Shuitao and reached out to open the food box.

Then he took out a plate of peach cakes, a plate of drunk duck and a small plate of small halva from the food box.

"These are what you like to eat, try them quickly."

After Shen Yuebai finished speaking, he took out the chopsticks from the food box and handed them to Shuitao.

Shuitao was not in the mood to eat. She pursed her lips again, her eyes were red, and she was so sad that she almost cried.

"Master, she is doing this for your own good."

"I think you have served her for so many years and now you are getting married. I want you to get married easily and comfortably."

"This kind of kindness is very rare."

Shen Yuebai said softly, extremely patiently,

"Actually, you shouldn't be sad about this. Otherwise, wouldn't the master's good intentions be in vain?"

After saying that, he picked up a small piece of halva and handed it to Shuitao's lips.

"Have a bite of candy and you might feel better."

Shuitao shook her head slightly,

"Of course I know the lady is doing it for my own good."

"But the lady has already started to push me out."

"I really couldn't bear to leave her."

Shen Yuebai nodded,

"The master is a good man."

"That's why she came to save me."

"Only then will I plan for your future."

"Don't worry too much. Even if you marry into the Shen Mansion, you are not far from the Duke's Mansion. You can come back at any time."

Shuitao was still a little sad,

"But after marrying into the Shen Mansion, I won't be able to stay with you all the time."

"I find it boring just thinking about it."

After hearing this, Shen Yuebai pretended to be angry and complained:

"So, Shuitao, you don't want to see me all the time?"

Shuitao shook his head when he heard this.

"That's not what I meant. In fact, I am extremely happy to be able to marry you."

"I never thought I could marry someone as good as you."

"But I really can't bear to leave Miss."

"I will worry that the lady will be hungry, cold, and there will be no one to relieve her boredom."

Shen Yuebai turned to ask:

"How am I doing? You can tell me more carefully."

Shuitao didn't even think about it and answered:

"Not only are you good-looking, but you have an extraordinary bearing, a business acumen, you are reliable, and you are gentle to others. In short, you are excellent."

When Shen Yuebai heard what she said, the smile on her face grew stronger and stronger.

"So I am so good in your heart."

Shuitao lowered his head, blushed with embarrassment, and nodded slightly.

Shen Yuebai looked at Shuitao's cute appearance and couldn't hide the love in her eyes.

He comforted me softly,

"It's best for you to stay with the master and take care of her daily life."

"But after you married me, the two of us helped the master with his business, and our help to her was no less than taking care of her daily life."

After hearing this, Shuitao raised his head suddenly and asked quickly:

"Can I take care of the lady's business with you?"

"You know, your future husband is a genius, and you are not stupid. I am confident that I can teach you how to do business."

Shuitao pursed her lips,

"Can I do this?"

Shen Yuebai reached out and pinched her cheek,

"Nothing ever comes to an end."

"My peach is so smart, and with me personally teaching you, you will definitely become a good hand in business."

After talking about this, Shuitao finally burst into laughter.

"Yuebai, you are so kind."

Shen Yuebai nodded without blushing.

"Well, I will definitely be your good husband in the future."

"The two of us should work together to help the master earn more property, which can be regarded as repaying her kindness."

At this time, Fang Ling had finished dressing up.

She was wearing a light green dress.

Her head was tied in a simple lily bun with a white jade hairpin inserted into it.

With a smile on her face, she walked out slowly.

Chunmei and Xia Zhu were followed behind.

When Shen Yuebai and Shuitao saw Fang Ling coming out, they quickly stood up and greeted him.

Fang Ling saw Shuitao's eyes turn red and chuckled:

"Shui Tao, are you crying again?"

Xia Zhu took a closer look and laughed out loud.

"Our Shuitao seems to cry every time she sees Mr. Shen."

"It seems that Mr. Shen has been bullying us Shuitao a lot."

After hearing this, Shen Yuebai just lowered his eyes with a faint smile on his face, but did not refute.

Chunmei answered:

"It seems that there is such a thing, Shuitao, if Mr. Shen really bullies you."

"You tell me and I'll vent your anger for you."

Shuitao waved her hand quickly,

"No, you misunderstood."

"Yuebai is very good and didn't bully me."

"Then why are your eyes red?"

Xia Zhu asked.

"I just can't bear to leave Miss. Now Miss doesn't even need me to dress up. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Shuitao lowered his head and said truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, Chunmei and Xia Zhu both shut up and their expressions became serious.

Fang Ling took a step forward and took Shuitao's hand.

"Actually, I can't let you go, but I can't keep you by my side for the rest of my life just because I can't, right?"

"Besides, if you just marry into the Shen Mansion, you won't be too far away from me."

"Chunmei and Xia Zhu, these two girls are also good, you can rest assured."

"From now on, as long as you want, we sisters can still see each other every day."

After hearing these words, Shuitao couldn't help sniffing again, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Miss, I must have done great deeds in my previous life, so that I can meet a master as good as you in this life."

"Silly girl, I asked you to call me sister."

Fang Ling emphasized the sister relationship between the two again and reminded,

"I want to be Mrs. Shen happily, you know?"
