Zhao Mingruo was stunned. In his previous life, Prince Yan had no idea why he really agreed to marry Gu Changyue, the fifth aunt of the Hou Mansion.

He passed away less than five years after his marriage.

At that time, Gu Changyue used her identity as a princess to act as a blessing, liked male sex, and raised more than a dozen male favorites by her side, and then clinged to power, making the Duke of Yan's Mansion unrest. In the end, she was convicted and led to the entire Duke of Guo's Mansion being confiscated and beheaded. All her reputation was defeated and everyone was scolded.

She had tried her best to remain calm, but she was still discovered by Prince Yan. Such a meticulous, intelligent and kind gentleman is afraid that God would be so weak because of his jealous talents.

Zhao Mingruo knew his result, but it was difficult to reveal it, "Return to the prince..."

While thinking about it, she wanted to find another excuse.

Yan Huaian smiled gently, "It seems that I guessed it right."

"I thought the second wife was a person with a clear mind. I didn't expect that she was just like an ordinary person and was pitiful to those who had been ill for a long time."

His deep eyes looked at the famous second wife of Anyuan Marquis's Mansion.

At the beginning, the case of King Wei's rebellion was widely involved. It was not only the Marquis' family who was in trouble. The male family of the other family was arrested, and the female family was in chaos. The chickens cried and the dogs stole them, and countless cases of escaping from the family were separated and fled.

However, the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion could not see any change, and there was no sign of defeat.

The second wife who had just married into the house simply disciplined the servants who were in trouble at home, comforted her sister-in-law and uncle, and sold her dowry to ask for grievances for her husband. He admired such a woman's mind very much.

If you don’t want to, you are also a person who goes with the flow.

Zhao Mingruo said solemnly, "I have never felt pitiful to the prince. The prince is well-read and has talented people in the world. Even though he is plagued by all kinds of diseases, he is wise and resourceful, tolerant and generous. He can be long and short for a lifetime. Even if he is absurd and treacherous for a hundred years, he will only feel wasteful. It is better to be within the scope of his ability and not lose his original intention."

Yan Huai looked at Zhao Mingruo quietly and quietly, and his eyes looked at her as gentle as the soft moonlight.

"Criminal Yan, I'm going to return to the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Mingruo nodded and left. Yan Huaian's eyes left with her figure before retracting.

He clenched his fists and endured his cough, took Miaoxiang and inserted it piously into the incense burner, and then he walked to the eternal lamp.

The two of them fell into the same place, and Yan Huaian saw the words written on the lamp.

Lin'er.

No name or surname.

It looks like a child's nickname.

Zhao Mingruo has gone far away.

Aye said enthusiastically from the side, "Criminal Master, have you heard it? The second wife praised you very much. She admires you very much."

"I want to tell you that these second ladies are unusual, and it is really not easy for a woman to be so transparent and capable. She is so beautiful. If you are your princess, you don't have to work so hard."

As he said that, he looked at Yan Huaian with red eyes and heartache.

Yan Huaian looked at the eternal lamp he worshiped and said softly, "I just hope that the person I love will pass away as soon as possible."

"The rain has stopped, Aye, let's go back too."

After everything he had done, Zhao Mingruo took Afu back to the Hou Mansion. She took the housekeeper and took out all the silver that could be used in the Hou Mansion.

Butler Chen complained, "Second Madam, although the Marquis' Mansion is in your hands now, the money belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. You took away all the money in the account at once. What should I do if the Marquis' Mansion's next expenses?"

He was the old lady's distant nephew and was placed in the house as a housekeeper. With the support of the old lady, he often talked back to Zhao Mingruo. In private, he didn't know how much silver from the marquis' mansion had been embezzled and how much kickbacks he had taken.

In the past, Zhao Mingruo respected his mother-in-law, but because of his husband's face, he was really unaware of the world.

Zhao Mingruo sneered, "Then Butler Chen would like to say, where does the money in the account come from?"

"Of course it is the West Lane Grain Shop, the East Street Rice Shop and..." Butler Chen was full of confidence.

Zhao Mingruo continued to ask, "Whose dowry is the grain shop in the west alley and the rice shop in the east street?"

Butler Chen's eyes suddenly widened, "It's... yours, Madam."

The property of the Marquis’ Mansion was confiscated and confiscated after the old Marquis and the young men were imprisoned. Although the injustice was revealed afterwards, the confiscated property could not be returned. Now the property used by the Marquis’ Mansion is earned by Zhao Mingruo’s dowry shop!

"Yes, it's mine. I can't use the money I earned myself?" Zhao Mingruo's eyes were sharp, "Butler Chen, have you forgotten a very important thing? I'll ask you, who are the masters, you and me?"

Butler Chen's face turned pale, "You are..."

"So you know, do your part well, don't care about what you shouldn't care about, and don't talk about what your master does!"

Zhao Mingruo took the money and warned sternly, "If there is another time, even my mother will not be able to protect you!"

After leaving the door, Peng Nian, the subordinate of Butler Chen, respectfully greeted Zhao Mingruo outside the door. Zhao Mingruo raised his eyebrows and took Afu back to his yard. Not long after, Peng Nian appeared quietly.

"lady."

Zhao Mingruo curled his lips, "You are a smart person."

"With the favor and trust of the wife, if the wife has any instructions, it doesn't matter. The villain will definitely devote himself to his work." Peng Nian knelt in front of Zhao Mingruo as soon as he came.

Zhao Mingruo was very satisfied with his cleverness, "Peng Nian, I remember that you and Butler Chen entered the mansion together, and you have a higher ability than him. It's just that because he is the old lady's distant relative, he is pressing on you everywhere. After he became the butler, he deliberately made things difficult for you. Isn't this kind of life awkward?"

Peng Nian said sincerely, "The villain is walking on thin ice, and his life is extremely miserable. He even asked his wife to save the villain from the fire pit."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance now. I've decided to take a concubine for the second master. The new aunt's food, clothing, and the servant and maid will be arranged by you. Other clumsy and incompetent in the room will also be removed, especially the old lady. She must take good care of her and must not make her mother feel unhappy."

"After the completion of the work, yours will be yours, and no relative can take it away."

Zhao Mingruo was calm and calm, and his red lips opened slightly to make Peng Nian moved.

"Thank you for your support, my villain will not disappoint my wife!"

Ah Fu stepped forward with a wink and handed over one hundred and fifty taels of silver to Peng Nian.

"Madam, there are too many." Peng Nian didn't dare to pick him up.

Zhao Mingruo said calmly, "Take it, the things you told you to do are not simple. Don't feel sorry for using silver. You can freely control one hundred taels of silver. In addition, after you become a steward, your silver will double. Now it won't work. The remaining fifty taels will take your mother to treat the disease."

Now that the doubled will cause other people in the house to suspect it and will also expose their relationship.

Peng Nian's body trembled slightly, "Madam..."
