Chapter 539 Stability (3)
"You mean young mistress?"

"You also know the temper of the uncle. It is really difficult to make him bow his head. But now that the Li family has an accident, we can just go to the Earl's Mansion in the name of comfort and concern. At least it sounds much better than going to pay for it." , can be regarded as an expression of our love as a cousin and sister-in-law."

The girl nodded after listening, "If that's the case, maybe the uncle will go."

"En!" Xia Yinglan's tense heart relaxed, she just came to the capital, but she didn't want to be sent back by her mother-in-law right away!
However, when it comes to Xia Houjing's temper, she sometimes feels powerless. Xia Houjing cares too much about face, and sometimes she can't tell the difference.Sometimes even if she knew that she was wrong and that the consequences would be serious, she was still stubborn and unwilling to bow her head, which made her very upset.

"Young Mistress, don't be so hard on yourself. When the uncle was in Zhoucheng, he was always carried over by others. Just now when he came to the capital, let him bow his head and admit his mistake. He is still his cousin. It is inevitable for the uncle. It will be uncomfortable, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart." The girl persuaded.

"Zhoucheng! How can it compare with the capital there. Zhoucheng is all small and small, and my father is a magistrate, plus the identity of my mother-in-law, the royal princess, those people will of course respect us very much. Naturally, the uncle Respectfully. But this is the capital city, where princes, princesses, dignitaries, and high-ranking officials gather. The most prestigious person at our price is mother-in-law, but mother-in-law has not stayed in the capital for so many years. Everyone is divided. As for us, maybe not many people think of us at all..." Xia Yinglan sighed.

"Young Mistress, no! They don't dare. We are here in the son-in-law's mansion, and they are also serious royal people. Young Mistress is the royal daughter-in-law. They would dare not to take Young Mistress seriously." Believe it.

Xia Yinglan's eyes flashed sarcasm when she heard this, and she said in a low voice: "The son-in-law's mansion? It's nothing, to put it bluntly, it's just an empty shell inlaid with gold, nothing can be left to the uncle, how can it compare with the Earl's Mansion..." Xia Yinglan paused, stopped, turned her head to look at the girl, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Looking at Xia Yinglan's eyes, the girl's heart trembled, she quickly lowered her head, knelt down, and said in panic: "Young Mistress, this servant didn't hear anything."

Xia Yinglan snorted coldly when she heard it, "But no matter how you look at it, you've heard it all."

The girl trembled when she heard the words, and her face turned pale.

Xia Yinglan looked at it, and something flashed in her eyes, the hostility on her face suddenly faded, and she said gently: "Okay, get up! You are my confidant girl, I believe you know what to say and what not to say."

Hearing this, the girl kowtowed heavily to Xia Yinglan, and said solemnly: "Young mistress, this servant will not say anything. This servant is not stupid, and this servant knows that only when young mistress is well can this servant follow suit."

Hearing this, Xia Yinglan's eyes overflowed with satisfaction, she nodded, "Okay, you're smart, get up!"

"Yes, thank you, Young Mistress." The girl stood up, her forehead already covered with beads of sweat.

Almost all the people who hadn't been to the capital for a day knew about Li Xue and Grandma Li.So many people know about it, Gu Qingyuan has no reason to say that he doesn't know at all!Now that she knew it, as a niece and cousin, she had to go and see it anyway.It is impossible to pretend to be confused about this matter, and there is no need to pretend to be confused. She also wants to hear what grandpa thinks in his heart.Then, after lunch, after Xiahou Jueyi left the mansion, Gu Qingyuan asked the girl to prepare some gifts and prepare to go to Li's mansion.

However, just when Gu Qingyuan was about to leave, Li Hu suddenly brought news that people from the Wei family had gone.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, there was no surprise on his face.Even Mei Xiang wasn't surprised at all, and said in a low voice: "Miss, do you think the Wei family went to get married?"

Gu Qingyuan shook his head, did not respond, looked at Ling Fei and said indifferently: "The Li family will not be going for the time being, you tell Qi Yi that the carriage should not wait outside, let's go to the mansion first! As for the things on the carriage, you don't need to unload it. down."

"Yes, miss." Ling Fei took the order and walked out quickly.

Gu Qingyuan sat down on the soft couch again. Regarding Li Xue's matter, she only wanted to express her condolences on the surface, but she never wanted to get involved, let alone express any opinions!Therefore, it is better for her to avoid it when the Wei family and the Li family are discussing!As for whether to do something in secret!Then it depends on what grandpa means.

"Miss, since you are not going to Xiangfu now, you should take a nap first!" Lanzhi said.

"No." Gu Qingyuan shook his head, "Lanzhi, you go to Butler Zhou, if he's not busy right now, let him come over."

"Yes, miss." Lanzhi took the order and walked out quickly.

Gu Qingyuan lay on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, Lanzhi came back, looked at Gu Qingyuan and said softly, "Miss..."

Hearing the voice, Gu Qingyuan opened his eyes.

Lanzhi reported: "Housekeeper Zhou is here, waiting outside."

Gu Qingyuan nodded after listening, got up, and walked outside.

Steward Zhou was waiting outside with a pile of things like ledgers. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head, looked at the woman who walked in, and hurriedly saluted, "This old servant has seen the concubine."

Seeing that Steward Zhou was about to kneel down to salute, Gu Qingyuan stepped forward, stopped him, supported him, and said with a light smile, "Butler Zhou, get up!"

"Thank you concubine!" Steward Zhou got up, looked at Gu Qingyuan putting the ledger in his hand on the table, and said respectfully: "Concubine Shi, this is the ledger of the flow of people in and out of the mansion over the years, as well as the contract of sale of the servants in the mansion. , please take a look at the princess."

Gu Qingyuan glanced at it, but didn't turn it over, but said gently: "There's no rush for these, butler Zhou should sit down first!"

Hearing that Gu Qingyuan said there was no rush, Steward Zhou's eyes flashed with surprise, isn't the mistress most concerned about these things?
Seeing Steward Zhou's unexpected look, Gu Qingyuan chuckled, "I don't like to read the ledger, unless it's when something goes wrong!"

After saying this, Steward Zhou raised his head, and something flashed in his eyes.

"So, wait for the housekeeper to take these books back next week! Just report the final figures to me every month."

After Gu Qingyuan's words came out, Steward Zhou didn't know whether to be happy or to cry!Gu Qingyuan's complete trust made Housekeeper Zhou very happy!However, she asked to report once a month, which means she will be a shopkeeper!Butler Zhou's face turned bitter.This imperial concubine is really special, the mistresses of other families can't wait to hold the money in their own hands, for fear of being corrupted by others!It is even more unacceptable for such power to be held by a slave, but the concubine Shizi...
