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

Chapter 6 Obtaining the Right to Be the Housekeeper of the Marquisate

When serving tea to Xiao, Xiao gave Lin Wan a set of red gem accessories, from hairpins to necklaces to rings, a complete set. There were also two pieces of woven gold brocade, plus a big red envelope that was also stuffed full like Lu Hou's.

Lin Wan was surprised by her mother-in-law's generosity.

Not to mention the thick red envelope, this whole set of ruby ​​jewelry is priceless, not to mention the woven gold brocade, which only the nobles in the palace have one or two sets.

"Mother, this..." Lin Wan couldn't understand Xiao's thoughts.

Xiao smiled at Lin Wan and said, "The red gems on this set of jewelry were spoils of war that the Marquis gained when he attacked Liuli Country. I saw that the color was festive, so I asked a craftsman to make a complete set of jewelry. I have only worn it twice. You are young, so it will definitely look good on you."

Then he pointed at the two pieces of brocade and said, "This is a gift from the Empress Dowager. I have been keeping it. It is just right for me to make two sets of dresses for you. I will have someone measure your size later. You can wear one set when you return home."

Seeing that Xiao's arrangements were clear, Lin Wan took it from Gao's mother and said, "Thank you, mother."

After offering tea to his daughter-in-law, Lord Lu went out.

Xiao took Lin Wan to have breakfast together. She didn't ask Lin Wan to serve her, but just pulled her to sit down and eat together.

After breakfast, Xiao asked Madam Gao to bring over a wooden box, opened the lid and said, "This is the cards and account book in our mansion. I'm handing them over to you now. From now on, the mansion will be in your hands. If you have any questions, just ask Madam Gao. If anyone dares to disrespect you, they will be severely punished!"

Lin Wan was stunned when she saw the box of keys in front of her. "Mom, I just came in. Isn't it too early to give it to me now..."

Xiao pushed the box in front of Lin Wan and said, "Since you've married me, we're a family. What difference does it make if it's earlier or later?"

"Oh, let me be frank. Being a housekeeper is more troublesome to me than going to the battlefield. But I only have Xu'er as a son, and there is no one to help me. Now that you are finally married, this family will belong to you and your wife sooner or later. You should adapt to it as soon as possible, and let me relax a little bit."

As he said this, he pushed the box forward again, as if it were a hot potato.

Lin Wan stared blankly at the housekeeper's cards and bunch of keys that were almost pushed into her arms, and thought: Is this the evil mother-in-law that Lin Fu mentioned? She is willing to change the marriage even if she falls into the water? Is she mentally ill?

Lin Wan didn't know that in her previous life, on the night Lin Fu got married, Lu Tingxu also rushed into the bridal chamber and said harsh words like he did last night.

Lin Fu was not as docile as she was. She jumped up and quarreled with Lu Tingxu on the spot, and Lu Tingxu had a legitimate reason to run away and not return all night. The people in the Marquis's Mansion also said that it was Lin Fu's bad temper that drove the prince away.

The next day, during the tea ceremony, Lin Fu not only looked very unhappy, but she also started crying and complaining to Xiao, saying all the wrongs of Lu Tingxu. Xiao didn't like women crying, and no matter what Lu Tingxu did wrong, he was still her son. How could a daughter-in-law drive her husband away as soon as she got married, and then scold him in front of her mother-in-law?

Xiao and Lord Lu just drank the tea with cold faces and gave the red envelope.

Lin Fu felt that they didn't take her seriously by giving her money. She went back and started a fight again. Not only Lu Tingxu and Marquis Lu, but even the servants in the mansion kept their distance from them.

Lin Fu was not living an easy life and was full of resentment, so she and Lu Tingxu quarreled more and more fiercely.

When Lu Tingxu brought the little childhood sweetheart back, Lin Fu even blamed Xiao. Xiao was so angry that she stopped interfering in their affairs. No one in the entire mansion stood on Lin Fu's side, and the servants also treated her differently, making her suffer.

Lin Wan, on the other hand, took a completely different path from Lin Fu.

Lin Wan endured Lu Tingxu's contempt. Not only was Lu Tingxu unable to find fault with her, but even Xiao felt that she was wronged, and she kept silent for the sake of family harmony. She is truly a model of a good daughter-in-law who is sensible, virtuous and kind.

So, it is useless to shout loudly that you are wronged, quarrel and blame. People will only believe what they see, just like Lin Wan now, she didn't say a word, everyone felt sorry for her and was wronged. They took the initiative to protect and help her without her asking.

On the first day after marriage, Lin Wan won a great victory, gaining the recognition of Marquis Lu and Xiao, and also got the power to manage the Marquis's mansion. She gained a foothold in the Marquis's mansion and let everyone know that she, Lin Wan, was the real prince's consort of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

Xiao was afraid that Lin Wan was not familiar with the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, so she told her about every aspect of the mansion one by one. She also asked her to ask several stewards to come and pay their respects after she returned home so that Lin Wan could recognize everyone.

When the two were talking intimately, Gao's mother came in from outside.

After taking a look at Lin Wan, he walked to Xiao with an ugly expression and leaned over to say, "Madam, the prince has been found."

Xiao was happily talking to Lin Wan. The more she got to know her, the more she found her daughter-in-law to be likable. When she heard what Gao Mama said, her expression froze.

Yes, the daughter-in-law is a good daughter-in-law. And there is a stinky son who bullies her!

"Where are the others? Did they kneel in the ancestral hall?"

"The prince is back and has gone to the ancestral hall. It's just..."

"What is it?" Xiao looked at Mama Gao who was hesitating and asked curiously.

Mother Gao glanced at Lin Wan again and whispered, "The people who went to look for the prince found him in a small courtyard in the south of the city. According to the neighbors next to the courtyard, a young couple lived there. The prince, the prince is the male owner of that family."

"What!" Xiao stood up suddenly and the tea in her hand spilled all over her skirt without her even realizing it.

"Mother, are you burned? Come on, go to the inner room and check." Lin Wan hurriedly brushed the tea leaves and tea soup off Xiao's skirt with her hand. She didn't stop even though her tender fingers were scalded red by the scalding tea.

When Xiao came to her senses, she saw Lin Wan pulling her wet skirt with a worried look on her face, her little hands red.

"Go, find the Marquis and let's go and see what that rebellious son has done!" Xiao held Lin Wan's hand and her voice trembled with anger.

"Mother Gao, take some people to fence off that yard. I want to see who lives in it."

Lin Wan was grateful when she saw Xiao was furious.

But he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, thinking that the person living in that yard should be Lu Tingxu's childhood sweetheart.

In the previous life, Xiao Shi did not take charge of Lin Fu and sent people to look for her, so she never found out about the courtyard. In this life, because Lin Wan was sensible, she discovered the existence of the small courtyard in advance.

But if it were to be exposed now, even though Lin Wan had done nothing wrong, outsiders would think that it was she who had caused unrest in the Marquis' Mansion since she entered the house.

So the matter between Lu Tingxu and Xiao Qingmei needs to be resolved, but not now.
