Chapter 56 Restraint
After realizing it, her voice became weaker, "I, I'm not doing nothing... I'm busy visiting the garden every day, feeding the fish, and feeding the little hamsters, and today I made ginseng tea for you."

Lu Jiuyuan: "..."

He glanced down at the ginseng tea on the table, but was speechless.

"Is the ginseng tea I made delicious?" Tao Yao asked with eyebrows bent.

Lu Jiuyuan hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Yes."

"Since you think it's delicious, I can make it for you every day." Tao Yao said smoothly, "So Uncle Jiu don't let me read the account book, okay? Professional things must be done by professional people.

I can't read a few big characters, so if I look at the account book, I will definitely make a mess. "

"You can learn..."

"I can't learn." Tao Yao pouted.

Seeing what Lu Jiuyuan wanted to say, she simply stepped forward and hugged his arm, shaking it slightly, "Let Uncle Chen continue to manage the books.

And he has always been in charge of it, so he is not allowed to take care of it all of a sudden, how sad is he?

He is an old man of our Lu family, and he has always been dedicated to the Lu family and has made great achievements. We can't let the old man feel cold. "

Lu Jiuyuan didn't listen carefully to what she said.

The girl suddenly hugged her up, and her soft body rubbed against his. While he was stunned, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he restrained himself from clenching the hand on his lap.

"Does Uncle Jiu think what I said is right?" Seeing that he was silent, Tao Yao asked cautiously.

"Yes." Lu Jiuyuan answered absently.

Tao Yao was overjoyed, "So, Uncle Jiu agrees with my words?"

Lu Jiuyuan raised his eyes to look at her, nodded, "Yes."

"Then... I don't need to look at the account book, I let Uncle Chen move it back?" Tao Yao tentatively asked.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, then said flatly, "As you wish."

Tao Yao was overjoyed, "Uncle Jiu, you are so kind!"

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes paused for a moment on her delicate and charming face, and then he restrained his eyes away, but his lips felt a little dry for no reason.

Tao Yao didn't notice his strangeness, let go of his hand and said, "Then I won't bother you with your business, I'll go back first."

Lu Jiuyuan picked up the ginseng tea on the table, took a sip, heard the words, nodded, "Okay."

Tao Yao went out excitedly.

Lu Jiuyuan came back to his senses, and pressed his fingertips between his eyebrows.

No one has ever been able to influence his mind.

But just now, that girl changed his decision after two words in three days...

Thinking of this, he frowned.

After Tao Yao returned to Tingfang Courtyard, she took her maid and sent the account book back to Uncle Chen.

Looking at the ledger that was sent back, Uncle Chen looked puzzled, "Ma'am, this is..."

"The Duke said that Uncle Chen is an old man in the mansion, and he has always been loyal to the Duke's mansion and worked hard without complaint. Only you can handle the accounting.
So let me send the ledger back to Uncle Chen. "Tao Yao said with sincerity.

When Chen Bo heard this, he was terrified, "The Duke has killed the old slave, and it is the old slave's duty to do things for the Duke's Mansion."

"Chen Bomo should be humble. You are the one who manages the huge family business of Duke Lu's mansion. You have made great contributions and are a great contributor to the Lu family." Tao Yao continued.

When Uncle Chen heard this, although he felt terrified, he was also moved in his heart.

I didn't expect Madam to value him so much...

Thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, this old slave will do his best to continue working for the Duke's Mansion."

"Then Uncle Chen has worked hard." Tao Yao said with a smile.

Uncle Chen shook his head, "This old slave doesn't work hard."

Coming out of Uncle Chen's residence, Tao Yao relaxed and walked happily in the garden.

Sure enough, it's such a joy to not have to do anything.

It seems that she is only suitable for eating, drinking, and wandering around.

Lu Yulan saw her from a distance, and frowned tightly.

Why is Tao Yao still so relaxed?
She smashed someone else's restaurant, so didn't Uncle Jiu reprimand and punish her?

Thinking of this, she sneered, turned her head and went back to the big room.

The next day, Tao Yao went to pay her respects to the old lady, and when she arrived, she saw that the Fushou Hall was full of people.

Seeing her come in, everyone's eyes turned to her.

She blinked and glanced at everyone.

In addition to Lin's sisters-in-law, those present here are also children and nephews.

Even Lu Qingbai was present here.

Among the people present, some were worried about her, and some were watching the excitement.

Tao Yao saluted the old lady first, and after she was seated, all the nephews, except Lu Qingbai, stood up and greeted her, "I've seen Aunt Ninth."

Tao Yao smiled very easy-going, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down. By the way, is it a good day today, so lively?"

Before the old lady could open her mouth, Mrs. Lin couldn't sit still, and said in a strange way: "Ninth brother and sister, you have done such a bad thing, but you can still sleep?"

Tao Yaoqi said: "Sister-in-law's words are so nonsensical, I did something bad, why can't I sleep?"

Lin snorted coldly, "Ninth younger siblings, the shopkeeper of the Zuiyue Tower, came to the door yesterday, why are you still pretending to be confused here? You hurt him, don't you feel bad?"

Tao Yao paused, it turned out that it was for this matter...

She glanced at Mrs. Lin's mean face, disgusted in her heart, but she said: "Sister-in-law is jealous, it's nothing at all, but you can't listen to the wind and the rain, you said I smashed the Zuiyue Tower, but there is evidence?"

Lin sneered: "Evidence? The shopkeeper came to the door in person, isn't this evidence?"

Tao Yao said unhurriedly: "Then I said that something was lost in my room, and I believe that my sister-in-law stole it and went to ask you for it in person. Will you admit that you stole it and return it?"

Lin was stunned for a moment before reacting, and reprimanded: "Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, these are obviously two different things."

"I think it means the same thing. Sister-in-law can't impose charges on me just because she doesn't like me. I won't admit it." Tao Yao said lightly.

Lin's face froze, "What I said is the truth, why did I impose the crime on you?"

"Sister-in-law knows it well, so I don't need to repeat it?" Tao Yao glanced at her, then lowered her head and played with her nails.

Her nails are round and full, with a natural pink luster, and they are already beautiful without dyeing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her questioningly because of Tao Yao's plausible words, Lin was about to die of anger.

She took a deep breath, and said in a generous tone: "Although the nine younger brothers and sisters are still young, since they have done something wrong, they must follow the rules of the Lu family."

As she spoke, she looked at the old lady who had been silent all this time, "Mother, according to the rules, shouldn't the nine younger brothers and sisters be punished to go to the ancestral hall and repent?"

When Tao Yao heard the words, her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't speak, but looked at the old lady.

She wanted to see how the old lady would deal with this matter?

Do you let her go, or are you willing to say something fair for her?
