Zi'an is Xiahou Wenyuan's hope, and he is also the one who brings glory to the Marquisate and brings it back to its peak.

He must win the top three places in the imperial examination as the legitimate son of a marquis.

He put on his usual gentle smile, took Yun's hand, and spoke tenderly.

"Yunniang, your health is the most important thing. It's your husband's fault for being so careless. I was so busy with government affairs that I didn't take good care of you. I, I'm really heartbroken.

Mother is right. You should take a rest first. Once you're well, it won't be too late to take charge of the household.

Besides, Yan'er has grown up and needs to learn how to manage the household. Although my wife has taught her on weekdays, she has never really managed the household. It is better to take this opportunity to let her practice and gain experience, which will also be helpful in the future marriage.

Madam, just rest assured and don't worry. Besides, Yan'er is the housekeeper. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always give me some pointers.

My wife loves Yan'er the most. If she goes to her husband's house in the future and makes a fool of herself, it will be a loss of face for the Marquisate."

Xiahou Wenyuan said a lot of things, as if the matter was settled. Besides, he was confident, and the Yun family used to listen to him the most.

This time he spoke particularly gently and put a lot of thought into his words. It would be strange if Yun was not deeply moved.

Yun stroked his chest, resisting the urge to vomit in his face, and reminded himself: I must not reveal my true colors, I have to continue pretending.

Sure enough, Yun shyly pulled out the little hand that was being held by her scumbag husband, and her narrow and beautiful phoenix eyes were popping with little stars of gratitude.

"My husband loves me, and Yunniang is grateful. Ahem, I'll listen to my husband. When we get back to the courtyard, I'll ask Cuizhi to sort out the account books and exchange cards and send them to my sister."

Yun spoke sweetly but secretly thought: You scumbag, you asked for this yourself, so don't blame it for being too hot when the time comes.

Seeing how smoothly things went, Xiahou mother and son secretly laughed at Yun for being such a naive love-brained person. Humph, the housekeeper power has been taken back. Dream on if you want to take it back!

"Miss, you are confused. You can't do this!" Seeing that Yun gave up her power so easily, Nanny Zhao hurried to try to stop her.

Yun looked at Xiahou Wenyuan and said, "Madam, please stop talking. I have made up my mind. My husband loves me, and I cannot let him down."

Yun was the master and Madam Zhao was the servant. Since Yun had said so, even though Madam Zhao was anxious, she could only angrily lower her hands and said unwillingly, "Yes, I will go and sort out the account books with Miss Cuizhi right away."

Xiahou Wenyan was even more delighted and urged, "Sister-in-law, please tell the servants to hurry up. You have been ill these few days, and there are many things in the mansion that are waiting to be done!"

"Yes, Yunniang. Look at you, after all this tossing and turning, your face looks even worse. Madam Wu, prepare the sedan chair and take Yunniang back to the main courtyard of Weilan to rest."

Old Mrs. Xiahou smiled like a blooming old chrysanthemum. She was afraid that Yun would go back on her word, so she hurriedly ordered the guest to be sent away.

Although she was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, she had never been in charge of the Mansion.

When the old marquis was still alive, he disliked her because she was a vulgar woman from the country who was illiterate, could not keep accounts, and could not manage the household, so the old marquis was in charge of the mansion.

After Yun came into the family, the old marquis directly handed over the power of housekeeper to her.

The housekeeper had always been a source of worry for Old Lady Xiahou. This was also the direct reason why she had always disliked Yun and always found fault with her and tortured her.

"Yes, mother, now that you mention it, I am really tired." Yun also wanted to leave quickly, fearing that she and her son would regret it.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Madam Wu agreed happily and turned around to do it. She was still waiting to send Yun back to the main courtyard and then come back to collect the reward silver!

"Don't bother. There will already be a sedan chair available when the young lady comes." Madam Zhao was very embarrassed and directly retorted to Madam Wu.

Nanny Wu's smile froze on her face. She was extremely embarrassed and timidly looked at Xiahou Wenyuan and his mother.

Relying on the old lady's power, she would sometimes speak softly to Yun, but Yun would not really punish her anyway.

But she really didn't dare to hit Aunt Zhao. She knew that Aunt Zhao really dared to hit her.

Xiahou Wenyuan also smiled awkwardly, "Then my lady, let your husband go back with you!"

Xiahou Wenyuan stuck to Yun, and his character of a man who doted on his wife was pushed to the limit to the point of overflowing.

He had his own little plan. This move could not only show how much he doted on his wife, but also allow him to take away the keys, account books, exchange cards and other items at the same time.

These were extremely urgent for him and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Thank you, husband! I appreciate your kindness. But it's not necessary. You've been busy with government affairs these days. It's finally time for you to have some free time. You should take a rest.

And now Yunniang is ill, and I am afraid that the disease will spread to you, so you can rest assured that there are people following you."

Yun stood up slowly, bowed to Xiahou's mother and son, and left Rong Xi Tang.

When she was leaving the hospital, she used her handkerchief to wipe the hand that Xiahou Wenyuan had just held. She really didn't want to stay with Xiahou Wenyuan for another minute.

"Miss, stop rubbing. The skin on your hands has been rubbed off. You should go back and wash them. They will be cleaner."

Zhao Ma looked at Yun's red hands and couldn't help but make a joke. Cuizhi Liuxiang helped Yun up, and after hearing what the old madam said, the master and servants all smiled at each other.

"It turns out that old ginger is still spicy! Ma'am, it has to be you." Cuizhi also has a sharp tongue.

"Well, for the sake of the young lady, it's not worth anything. Let's go quickly to avoid bad luck. There are still many things to do!"

After returning to the Weilan main courtyard and settling Yun down to rest, Cuizhi and Nanny Zhao, without wasting a minute, took the keys, exchange cards, account books, etc. that had been prepared long ago, and hurried back to Rongxi Hall to bring these items.

Xiahou Wenyuan happily took it, but the next second, Xiahou Wenyan grabbed it. She looked so anxious and excited, as if she had grabbed a huge, incredible treasure, and was so happy.

Cuizhi and Nanny Zhao shook their heads secretly. It was a waste of Yun's efforts to raise her and teach her since she was a child. But a fool is still a fool. No matter how hard she tries, she is still shallow and petty, and not presentable enough.

"My Lord, the things have been delivered. We will take our leave now."

Cuizhi and the other person bowed and left Rongxitang quickly. The items have been delivered and cannot be returned or exchanged.

"That's great. I said that even if Yun Shi had two courages, she wouldn't dare to disobey. Yan'er, quickly sort out the account books and go to the accounting office to get the money. Yuan'er, take the key and go to the warehouse to get something. When you are ready, quickly go to the government office to pick up the people. Meimei has suffered a lot."

Old Mrs. Xiahou couldn't wait to make arrangements. If Lu Meimei didn't come back, her precious grandchildren would not have had more than two meals a day. She was heartbroken.

"Yes, mother."

"Yes, mother."

The two siblings agreed happily. One took the exchange card and account book and returned to his own yard, while the other took the key and went straight to Yun's private warehouse.

An hour later.

Xiahou Wenyan returned to Rong Xi Tang with a sad face, carrying an account book.

"Mom, this is not right. Why is there only 5000 taels of silver in the account?"

Xiahou Wenyuan, who came in later, was not much better, "Mom, there are not many things in the storehouse in the mansion, and it is impossible to get enough money to redeem Meimei.

"what?"

When the old lady heard that there was only 5000 silver in the account, her face changed. "Yan'er, are you sure? Aren't the shops on East Street and Jinling Avenue quite profitable? How could there be only 5000 silver?"

Also, Yuan'er, there must be something in Yun's storeroom. She doesn't need it anyway, so just take it and use it first."
