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

At this time, Lu Tingxu was having dinner with Chunfeng. Chunfeng had prepared a table full of food and wine and sat attentively at the table to serve him the food. The atmosphere in the room was warm.

Yan Liu walked straight to the door, without crying or going into the house. She just stood outside the door, looking at Lu Tingxu with tender eyes.

Facing her gaze, Lu Tingxu couldn't get the wine in his glass into his mouth, and looked at the dishes on the table. Chunfeng sat aside, looked at the willows outside, then looked at Lu Tingxu, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The three of them were in a stalemate, but the stalemate was broken in less than a few minutes.

Lu Tingxu walked to the door and looked at the thin Yan Liu. "Why are you here?"

Yan Liu looked straight at his face, her eyes soft and resentful, and she frowned slightly.

After just a moment, Lu Tingxu walked up to her and picked her up. He looked at the person who buried her face in his shoulder with heartache, left Chunfeng and the maid behind, and went straight to Yanliu and took her away.

Qiuyue stood aside stupidly, watching Yanliu make Lu Tingxu surrender without saying a word, and realized once again her position in the prince's heart.

And they didn't notice that Yan Liu leaned softly in Lu Tingxu's arms, and from an angle he couldn't see, she curled her lips provocatively at Chunfeng in the room. Chunfeng was almost mad at her, and her always straightforward and hot temper actually changed a way to show off.

She just changed her way and learned to use tricks to snatch people away, and the effect was surprisingly good, because Lu Tingxu didn't even look at Chunfeng until he left the yard.

Chun Feng was so angry that she wanted to overturn the table, but she held herself back. She could only drink up all the remaining wine of Lu Tingxu in anger, and then cursed him alone in the room all night.

At this time, Lu Tingxu only had Yan Liu in his eyes. He also knew Yan Liu's personality. Her behavior today showed that she was really sad. Lu Tingxu couldn't help but blame himself for going too far. He just wanted her to realize her mistake and wait for her to come over and give in, but he didn't really want to make her sad.

After Yan Liu was carried back to the yard by him, she kept looking at him with her watery eyes and didn't lose her temper anymore. When Lu Tingxu brought her food, she ate it bite by bite and didn't lose her temper like before.

After the meal, the two of them seemed to be back to the time when they first got together. No one mentioned their quarrels and anger anymore, and they became sweet to each other again.

That night, Lu Tingxu said countless times that he loved Yan Liu, and made countless promises. Yan Liu also changed her attitude and told him her heart like a little bird.

The next morning, when the two came out, Yan Liu sweetly took Lu Tingxu's arm and pulled him to accompany her to visit the garden. The two were laughing in the garden as if no one was around. Especially when they were near Aunt Chun's yard, Yan Liu laughed especially loudly.

The laughter reached Chunfeng House, and she was so angry that she ruined the handkerchief she had prepared for a long time. She threw it away and ran to Lin Wan to cry.

At this time, Lin Wan was meeting with the housekeeper in the main hall. The important thing in the house was that Marquis Lu and Xiao had gone to the manor, so the main courtyard where they lived was temporarily vacant. Before Xiao left, she asked her to find someone to renovate the main courtyard.

There were no wars now, and Marquis Lu no longer needed to stay in the barracks all day to train with the soldiers because of his health. But he would feel even worse if he was not allowed to practice, so Xiao wanted to open up a piece of open space behind the main courtyard to make a training ground for Marquis Lu.

When Chunfeng came over, he happened to see the chief steward of the mansion, the steward in charge of purchasing, and the housekeeper who was in charge of all matters in the mansion standing in the main hall.

Lin Wan sat in the main seat, flipping through the account book on the table while quickly calculating with an abacus. Chunfeng sat next to her and tearfully told her about how Yan Liu had gone to her yard to snatch someone away.

After saying this, Lin Wan comforted her with a few words, then changed the account book and continued calculating.

But after a moment, she stopped and flipped through a few pages of the account book in her hand.

“Who made this account book?”

When Chunfeng saw her start asking questions, she stopped crying and looked up at the manager standing below.

A steward stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, it's the old servant."

"Two hundred taels for paving the floor?"

"Yes, Madam, the blue bricks we used to build the yard were of better quality, and the price was a little higher than those on the market."

Lin Wan glanced at him and said to Qing Ping, "Go to the main courtyard and bring two blue bricks for paving the floor."

"Yes."

Seeing Qingping leave, Lin Wan looked at the steward standing below. This man's surname was He, and he was a servant of the Marquis's mansion. His parents used to serve Marquis Lu, but later he was sent to the farm to manage things because of some things. Although he didn't say the reason, it was probably not a good thing. After all, the treatment in the farm was not a little bit worse than that in the Marquis's mansion.

He had been very active in the renovation of the courtyard this time, so Lin Wan gave him this opportunity. But he didn't expect that people are greedy and would come up with such an account book full of loopholes to fool him.

"Young Madam, don't worry. I have put my utmost care into renovating the yard for the Marquis, and I have selected the best materials. I guarantee that you will be satisfied, and you won't have to worry about anything." He looked at Lin Wan, who was young and had always been easy to talk to since she entered the Marquis's Mansion, and said with a smile.

"Oh? Has it always been this price?" Lin Wan said gently.

Seeing him nod, he continued, "Show me the account book for the previous yard renovation."

Seeing that she was indeed good-tempered, Manager He relaxed his guard and handed her an account book.

Lin Wan took it and quickly flipped through it, then asked, "A brick costs twelve cents, and you bought ten thousand for just one wall?"

"Yes, Madam, you may not know that every material used in the construction of our mansion is the best and most genuine, ensuring that the walls and floors built are both strong and durable."

"It took twenty workers to pave the ground in a half-sized yard. It took a month. The labor cost was fifty taels?"

"Young Madam, you don't know that this kind of floor paving requires slow and careful work. The floor must be paved bit by bit until it is solid and smooth, so that the Marquis will be satisfied when he punches on it in the future."

"It cost twenty taels to clear the slag, roll the stones, and mix the materials?"

"Alas, these are all small things. It would be too complicated to remember them separately, so I put the small ones together. Although each one costs a small amount, there are so many of them that it becomes expensive when they are added up."

Manager He looked at Lin Wan and answered sincerely, as if he was thinking about the Marquis's Mansion wholeheartedly. But the shrewdness in his eyes was almost overflowing, and he spoke nonsense without any guilt.

Judging from his account book and the fact that he could give a detailed list of expenses that Lin Wan didn't ask about just now, if the mistress of the house lived deep in the inner house and had never gone to the market to ask in person, even if she had been the housekeeper for many years, she might not be able to see the trick.

Manager He knew that Lin Wan was young and had only been a housekeeper for a short time, so she might not have even heard of these building materials, so he dared to lie to her.

Shopping and shopping, but he has the final say on who to buy from and how to buy.
