After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

I wanted to say that the Kejing Marquis's family has always been frugal and opposed to extravagance and waste, but as people said, my courtyard paid the money, which did save her a lot of expenses... She was too soft-hearted, so it was not good to scold her too harshly, lest the expenses of this whole house fall on me just for a servant.

The reason why the Kejing Marquis's family is frugal is because they don't have enough money. Every day when they open their eyes, they receive countless silver coins. Who would be frugal?

But she still had to save face. Wang coughed and said, "Even so, you shouldn't hire a servant for a dog... If this gets out, what will others think of our Kejing Marquis's Mansion? Isn't this nonsense?"

Yuan Ge nodded with a smile, "Mother is right, it was my daughter-in-law who did not handle the matter properly, but now that this matter is known to everyone, if we send her away rashly, I am afraid that others will say that mother is intolerant... They have mouths on their backs, no matter what we do, they will have something to say, so in this case, just ignore them. What do you think, mother?"

She recruited people with great fanfare, and drove them out after a few days. If gossipers made up stories, her image as a wicked mother-in-law would be confirmed. Even if there were no gossipers, wouldn't Wen Qian have arranged it secretly? Wen Qian, this little girl, was not as innocent and friendly as she appeared. After several confrontations, this little girl was never harsh or rude, but she was very eloquent and could make a dead person alive.

The parrot with a chattering mouth was still barking, making people feel upset. For a moment, Wang felt that she was in a dilemma. Those theories sounded a bit strange, but she couldn't tell why. After thinking about it carefully, they made sense. It's just...

His eyes swept over Murong Yuxuan. The tall man didn't look like someone willing to be inferior to others. He was dressed in a scholar's robe and looked neither like a guard nor a servant. He looked neither fish nor fowl. He stood there with his head lowered, his eyes only on the woman in front of him. There was an inexplicable feeling of concentration in his eyes.

From this point of view... these two people are indeed very unusual.

"I think this man is so handsome, it's a waste of talent to ask him to take care of a dog." Wang said softly with her hands in her pockets, "How about this, I will assign a nanny here, she is considerate and can take good care of the dog. As for this man, he can be a housekeeper in the mansion... How do you think?"

Yuan Ge smiled to himself, handed Wen Xiaobai to Murong Yuxuan, looked at Wang and explained in a gentle voice, "As far as I know, the monthly salary of the nanny in our house is one tael, and the monthly salary of the housekeeper is usually two taels, at most three taels. The monthly salary of Luofengxuan is double that of mother. Murong was specially invited by me to take care of Wen Xiaobai, and the price is different, ten taels per month. Mother, are you still willing to transfer him away?"

After being transferred out of Luofengxuan, this monthly salary must be paid from the Bo's Mansion.

The maids behind Wang all gasped. Double it... The maids in charge beside Wang were supposed to charge three taels a month. If it doubled, wouldn't it be six taels a month? No wonder the maids and servants at Luofengxuan were so happy recently, as if they were celebrating the New Year. It felt like they were celebrating the New Year every day!

Wang's face turned pale, and she was almost angry and scolded coldly, "How ridiculous! You actually spend ten taels of silver a month to support a wild man!"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

Yuan Ge raised his eyelids and looked at him meaningfully, "Wild man... Mother, have you heard the gossip outside and come here to question your daughter-in-law?"

Wang didn't want to be so blunt, but somehow it just came out of her mouth. After she said it, she felt justified and sneered, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Do you think only outsiders will spread it? Everyone in the mansion has seen it too! You spend so much money to support an old acquaintance who serves a dog all day long. Do you think everyone is blind?"

Wang Shanshan also laughed, and stood there with her arms folded, looking a bit like a bully. "That's right! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

Yuan Ge was too lazy to pay attention to her. He didn't even look at her. He just looked at Wang and asked, "Mother, you came here today. I think it's not just for this matter. Why don't you tell me everything? If I can explain, I will tell you everything. If I can't explain, I can only do what you want. Whether you want to punish me or send someone to my husband's courtyard, I will do whatever you want."

Wang Shanshan instantly showed joy and looked at her aunt...

Wang claimed to be a respectable person. Even if she thought so in her heart, she would not show it on her face. She put her hands in her folds and said in a gloomy tone, "What are you talking about? You two are fine as husband and wife, and I don't want to interfere in your affairs. But if you can't explain this matter clearly, and you keep a wild man in your courtyard, I can't just let the situation develop, right?"

"Mother is right." Yuan Ge nodded seriously. "Originally, there is nothing wrong with talking about this matter. I am just worried that after mother knows about it, she will feel uneasy and hurt her body with all her thoughts. So I thought it would be okay to bear a little injustice. I didn't expect that even mother would misunderstand me."

Wang was stunned, and then she heard Yuan Ge say, "Brother Murong...is not my daughter-in-law's old lover, but my husband's lifesaver."

"That day at the foot of Wuxi Mountain, if Brother Murong had not appeared in time and stood up for justice, my husband and daughter-in-law would have both died. You couldn't even get people into Qichi Pavilion even if you wanted to... Mother, you keep calling him a wild man, which hurts not only the reputation of my daughter-in-law and Brother Murong, but also the reputation of my husband and the Kejing Marquis's Mansion. If the news gets out, who will dare to help my husband in the future? Don't you think so? Mother comes from a family of scholars, and you are obviously aware of the principle that those who are righteous will have many helpers and those who are unrighteous will have few helpers."

Wang choked again. She heard about the incident afterwards, and she was still scared at the time. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing? Wen Qian was used to bluffing, but this kind of thing could not be faked. Wang knew the seriousness of the matter, straightened her face and nodded slightly to Murong Yuxuan, "Thank you for saving my life, sir. You are a righteous man. Today, I listened to the slander of the villain and misunderstood you."

Murong Yuxuan shook his head and said it was okay.

Wang then said, "Sir, you should be a guest of honor in the Earl's mansion. Why do you have to stay in a small courtyard and do the job of serving others?" She wanted to say that he was serving a dog, but thinking of the life-saving grace, she changed the words and said something else.

The other party was also honest, straight-forward, and very straightforward, "poor money."

...Wang was at a loss for words. She had not expected that such a righteous man would be short of money.
