Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Meng Yucheng watched the beauty get on the carriage with his own eyes, and his heart finally settled down. He looked at the curtain that was lowered and swaying slightly, swallowed his saliva, and said to the people beside him: "Let's get going." After that, he waved the whip towards the carriage, signaling the driver to follow.

The group of people marched towards Shangjing in a mighty procession. When they reached the city gate, Meng Yucheng separated from the others. He only wanted to bring the beauty back to his residence in Shangjing as soon as possible, so he had no time to care about Lin Heng and the others.

Lin Heng also understood his thoughts. He watched him drive away with the carriage with a smile, waved his whip, and said to the others, "Brother Meng has a beautiful woman with him. We can't disturb his mood. Why don't we go home today? I will prepare a feast for you all next time."

The rest of the people all happily agreed. Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Heng saw that it was still early, so he turned his horse around and headed towards the Shen family.

Last time, my eldest sister came back pregnant and said that she was wronged in the Shen family, and he was very unhappy. Today, I have time, so I will go and see him and give my eldest brother-in-law a lesson.

At this time in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, Lin Wan had already received the news that Ye Shiyue had left.

She had expected this result, but thinking of Lu Tingxu who was still obsessed with Ye Shiyue, she couldn't help but sigh.

In his previous life, Lu Tingxu was also very kind to Ye Shiyue. Even when Lin Fu had a big fight with him, he still firmly protected Ye Shiyue. Apart from the status, Ye Shiyue enjoyed everything a hundred times better than Lin Fu.

But now, in less than two months, Ye Shiyue left with the man she had only met twice.

Such coldness really makes people speechless.

Lin Wan sent the servants away and went to Xiao's place, telling her everything about Ye Shiyue's departure.

Sure enough, Xiao was also stunned for a long time.

"I have always doubted whether it was right for me to stop them like this." Xiao sighed, "To be honest, Ye Shiyue was very lovable when she was young, and she had a gentle personality. I didn't expect this person, I can't try, once I try, I find that the results are always unexpected."

After saying that, he took Lin Wan's hand and said, "Let's go tell Tingxu the news, let him see what kind of person he likes, so that he can give up!"

Lin Wan shook her head to stop them, saying, "There's no rush. Mother, let's wait a little longer. The prince had already misunderstood when we sent Miss Ye to the manor. If we go and tell him directly that Miss Ye left with someone else, it would be bad if the prince thought we were framing her."

"Then...how should I put it?"

"Wait a moment, the prince will give up only when he sees it with his own eyes." Lin Wan said in a calm voice.

If she or the Xiao family or even someone from the farm told Lu Tingxu, given his obsession with Ye Shiyue, he might think that they had done something to her and were finding an excuse to lie to him.

No man would be able to accept it if Lu Tingxu saw with his own eyes the woman he loved wholeheartedly and deeply, taking the initiative to be intimate with another man.

After this was agreed upon, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the matter aside for the time being.

Lin Wan returned to her own courtyard to continue handling matters. Not long after, a maid came to report.

"Young Madam, Madam Li from the Zhenguo Mansion has sent a letter."

Lin Wan remembered what she had said before, that if Li Suining encountered any problems with housekeeping matters, he could look for her. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the letter really came.

"Give it to me, where is the person coming?"

"Already gone back."

Lin Wan nodded and took the letter from the maid. She opened it and saw that it was indeed Li Suining's note. After reading it through, she found that except for a few words about daily life in the beginning, the rest of the letter was all about the big problems she encountered.

She's short of charcoal!

As the weather gets colder, the consumption of charcoal becomes greater and greater.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion used a huge amount of charcoal. In addition to the floor dragons in the rooms of a few masters, which consumed the most charcoal, there were also many other concubines and maids. The number of charcoal basins in their rooms was nearly twice that of ordinary people. In addition, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion also had many guests, so the charcoal fire had to be kept on at all times in the reception hall.

When all is added together, the amount of charcoal needed every day is enormous.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a noble family, so burning charcoal is no big deal. The problem is that charcoal is really hard to buy in the capital city nowadays.

Now the weather is getting colder day by day, and the charcoal consumption of people in the city has increased rapidly. However, the charcoal stored in the farms a little further away cannot be delivered because the roads are blocked by heavy snow. The charcoal reserves in the city are insufficient, and Li Suining has sent many managers to buy it, but they cannot buy any, even if they are willing to spend more money.

The charcoal in the Zhenguo Mansion was almost exhausted, and there was no way to cool the house down. Li Suining was competing with her sister-in-law for the housekeeper position recently. She really couldn't think of any other way, but she was unwilling to admit defeat, so she finally thought of Lin Wan.

The letter was to ask Lin Wan if she had any solution.

Lin Wan looked at Li Suining's long and complicated predicament and smiled indifferently. Isn't this a coincidence?

The last thing she lacks now is charcoal.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going out for a while." After putting away the letter, Lin Wan instructed Qinglian.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage was ready. Lin Wan, holding a warm hand warmer in her arms and wearing a thick fox fur coat, got on the carriage and drove to Moxiangzhai.

There were many students sitting in Moxiangzhai at the moment, reading and writing quietly. The whole store was quiet, without a single noise. However, in a store not far away, people were coming and going. This was the place rented by Chen Ping to sell charcoal.

Lin Wan's carriage stopped at the back door of Moxiangzhai, and Chen Ping had been waiting there for a long time. There was no one else in the backyard, and when he saw Lin Wan get off the carriage, Chen Ping hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Young Madam."

"Shopkeeper Chen, you don't have to be so polite." Lin Wan walked into the yard and looked around the neatly organized small yard. "How is business recently?"

"Well, business is good." Chen Ping replied with a smile, "Young Madam is very far-sighted. Because our study has enough charcoal and the price is cheap, many students who are not well-off are willing to come to us."

"That's good, it's also because Manager Chen is doing a good job! How about the charcoal?"

"Oh, I was just about to go to the Marquis' Mansion to tell you about this. Our charcoal has been selling really well recently. We have sufficient inventory and the price is affordable. Everyone comes to our store to buy charcoal. There are also many grocery store owners who come to ask where we get the goods!" Chen Ping became excited when he said this.

"I see that the business is so good, and I think it's not cost-effective to rent a shop all the time. So I want to ask you, do you think we should take this opportunity to open a grocery store? It's almost the end of the year, and every family needs to buy New Year's goods. Using this charcoal business to attract popularity for us, we can definitely make a lot of money."

As Chen Ping spoke, he added two more pieces of charcoal to the blazing charcoal fire in the room. He looked at Lin Wan excitedly, waiting to hear her opinion.

Lin Wan listened and smiled, "Manager Chen is indeed a talented businessman. I'll leave this matter to you. If you need money, send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to find my maid."

Then he continued, "There is something urgent right now. You will take 20 carts of charcoal to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and say that it was ordered by their young mistress, Li."

Chen Ping was stunned. "Sell it to the Zhenguogong Mansion?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and nodded. Seeing that Chen Ping had gone out to give instructions, she sat in the room and looked through the charcoal accounts.

At this time, a clear male voice came from outside: "Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?"
