Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 103

Joan's face turned cold when he saw it.

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Mo and Mrs. Xiao went forward to salute together.

Xiao Mo's third and fourth younger brothers then came forward, and then met Ye Xizhao and Qiao Chen.

Ye Xizhao looked at the family and couldn't help but smile at Qiao Chen.

Mrs. Xiao Er came to Qiao An and begged, "Sister-in-law, you can go back to the mansion. I really can't take care of those things in the mansion..."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, he almost laughed.It is true that not everyone can bear the situation of the Xiao family, let alone take care of it by themselves.

Only then did Qiao An look at Xiao Xun who had been standing aside smiling and watching, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Xun's voice was gentle: "You will have a long time to recuperate and relax outside, and it's time to go back home."

"..." Joan was full of scolding words, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people.

"Sister-in-law," Mrs. Xiao Er shook Qiao An's arm, "you can go back. If you don't go back, I will have to live outside with you."

"Well said." Xiao Xun said with a smile, "If your sister-in-law doesn't go back, we will follow wherever she goes."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Mo and Mrs. Xiao nodded repeatedly.

Ye Xizhao approached Qiao An and persuaded him in a low voice: "Why don't you go back and live for a while and see how things go."

Qiao Chen also said: "Yes. If you don't go back, they will have to follow us to live in another hospital."

Qiao An looked at Xiao Xun, "Being like this, where do you put your face?" What I really want to say is: Are you still shameless? !

Xiao Xun waved to Qiao An, and when she got close, he said in a low voice: "Everyone in the capital and the palace knows that you are angry with me, and you live in someone else's house——I have lost all face a long time ago. .”

Joan looked at him coldly, "Speaking of which, is it my fault?"

"Of course not." Xiao Xun said sincerely, "It's all my fault. Don't worry, I won't bother you after moving back, how about it?"

"Can you believe what you say?"

Xiao Xun played hard and soft: "I will do what I say. But if you insist on not returning home, I will really take them and run after you."

Joan stared at the sky speechlessly.

It was the first time Qiao Chen made the decision for Qiao An, pointing to some necessities that the two sisters had simply packed up, and ordered some servants brought by Xiao Xun: "Why don't you move it to the car soon?"

The servants even claimed it was.

Ye Xizhao also looked at Qiao An, smiled and nodded.

Joan felt that he was betraying his relatives now.After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to get into the carriage with a cold face.Xiao Xun is a person who can do what he says, so she doesn't need to doubt it.Under such circumstances, the only way to follow his mind.

Xiao Xun smiled gratefully at Ye Xizhao and Qiao Chen, then ignored Qiao Anli's arrow-like eyes, and shared a carriage with her.

Ye Xizhao watched the group walk away, and returned to the main room with a smile on his face.

In the hall of the main room, the third lady was waiting for her.

Ye Xizhao was surprised, "What do the third sibling want from me?"

The third lady said a little uncomfortably: "I'll tell you the truth, sister-in-law, I'm here to plead guilty?"

Ye Xizhao only raised his eyebrows, and sat down with a smile, "What do you mean by the third sibling?"

The third wife mumbled: "When my sister-in-law was not in the mansion, I took care of the affairs of the mansion on my behalf. I replaced some of my sister-in-law's original management, and I didn't do my best for the servants in the main room..."

Ye Xizhao remained calm, pretending not to know, "Is there such a thing?"

The third lady said: "It's true. But sister-in-law, I couldn't do anything at that time—those managers were thinking of my sister-in-law's favor, and they didn't listen to me at all. I also knew that this was not wrong, but I did it at that time." There is no way, I have to take all these things into my hands, right?" She said with a blushing expression, "To tell you the truth, sister-in-law, to use a common saying, I was completely overwhelmed at that time, and I was really pissed off. "

Xia He, who was listening on the sidelines, raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that if you are doing well and sitting upright, how could you provoke those stewards to be full of resistance?Why did Mrs. Tai go smoothly when she took over the stall at the beginning?
Ye Xizhao refused to comment and took the tea from the maid.

The third lady said again: "As for the people in the main house, I have indeed neglected a little bit. My sister-in-law also knows that the times were not good at that time, and there were some people who stepped on the highs and lows in all aspects, and the income of the mansion was very low. It's hard work. With financial constraints, I have no choice but to wrong the servants of the mansion."

Ye Xizhao took a sip of tea, "It's all in the past, it's useless to talk about it."

This attitude... Do you care or not?The third lady had no choice but to stand up and salute, and said: "I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me for being young and ignorant."

Ye Xizhao smiled, "Speaking of which, I was the one who arranged the marriage between the third sibling and the third master. If you care about these trivial matters, you will be slapping yourself in the face."

This means that he can't and won't argue with her.The third lady felt a little relieved, and said: "There is one more thing to come here this time."

"tell me the story."

The third wife said: "Two days ago, I mentioned it to my mother - to hand over the power of managing the house to my sister-in-law, but my mother did not agree. Now that I think about it carefully, I think it is better to talk to my sister-in-law."

While talking, Yu Shaoheng walked in the door.

The third lady hurriedly saluted.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Shaoheng took a seat beside Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao didn't expect him to ask, but said: "It's nothing."

Yu Shaoheng turned to the third wife and said, "What did you tell Mrs. Tai?"

The third lady answered truthfully.

Yu Shaoheng thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Xizhao, "Since the third sibling has this intention, you might as well take over everything. We'll talk to mother later."

The third wife didn't expect Yu Shaoheng to agree to it, and her expression froze when she heard the words.

Ye Xizhao didn't care about this matter, and knew that Mrs. Tai didn't agree because she was afraid of being tired, so she said: "Then, I'll take over in a few days. My third sibling and I also need to make preparations."

Ready, ready, ready for what?With suspicion, the third lady said it was a speech.

Afterwards, Ye Xizhao asked Yu Shaoheng: "What if the accounts handed over to me are too wrong?" Considering Yu Shaohuan, she had to ask him what he meant.

"It's up to you." At this moment, Yu Shaoheng returned to the attitude of not caring about the internal affairs.

Ye Xizhao joked again: "Do you think my life is too leisurely?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled speciously, "I don't want you to be overqualified."

"You think highly of me." Ye Xizhao said with a smile.It's just that she doesn't want her to think about it, she understands.

After Mrs. Tai heard what the husband and wife said, she thought about it, and she no longer insisted on her original intention, "I was worried about Xi Zhao's body, so I decided for you. It's fine now, I'm busy every day, Appetite can be better if you think about it. Try it for a while, if you are not in good spirits, I will help you."

Ye Xizhao said yes with a smile.

This matter is settled.

On the second day, Ye Xizhao ordered someone to go to the Xiao Mansion. On the surface, he asked Qiao An when it would be advisable to send the things left in the Hou Mansion. How do you feel.

Unexpectedly, Qiao An brought some servants over.When ordering someone to follow Hsinchu to pack things, he sat in the room and talked with Ye Xizhao.

Qiao An first asked, "Where is Miss Xin?"

"Master Hou took her to Mrs. Tai's room." Ye Xizhao shook his head helplessly, "It's really not my turn to coax her these days."

"It's a good thing." Qiao An said with a smile, "It's too late to be happy with someone else."

Ye Xizhao nodded with a smile, and looked at Qiao An again, "How about going back? It wasn't your siblings who made you a mess, right?"

"No. You listened to their nonsense." Qiao An pursed her lips, "These days, Xiao Xun and the housekeeper manage the affairs of the inner house, which is considered to be in order. My second younger brother and sister have never intervened."

"This is really a happy event." Ye Xizhao sat next to Qiao An and patted her on the shoulder, "You have made it through." After all, it is really not easy for a big man to do this.

"Yes. I'll just have nothing to do in the future, and I don't need to pay attention to those things."

"It's really not easy for Xiao Xun to reach this point." Ye Xizhao had to persuade him a few words at this time, "I blamed him for not being very interested in you before, but now I look at it. I'm busy helping you with housework." Thinking of Xiao Xun's three younger brothers, he said again, "He's taken care of them all now, right?"

Qiao An couldn't help laughing, "Yes. The three of them are respectful to me now, and they have started to study hard with my husband, so it's hard for them." Then he asked about Ye Xizhao's situation.

Ye Xizhao then talked about taking over the affairs of the inner house in a few days, and said with a smile: "Look, I don't have a happy life, I can't compare to you."

Qiao An's smile grew stronger, "This matter varies from person to person, and this is also for your own good. Besides," the smile faded, "I'm afraid the account that the third lady handed over to you will not be so clean."

"I thought about it. I didn't want to play tricks, why should I replace the original manager?"

Qiao An recounted what she had heard: "Third Madam has been busy making more money these two years, and there are many people walking around. At that time, the Hou's Mansion was not the same as before, and no matter what she did, she would no longer It's just a matter of one sentence. The money comes and goes, but I don't know whether she has earned it or not, but I know that she spends a lot just to entertain those people."

"Well, I've also heard some." Ye Xizhao pursed his lips, "I just want to see her be more interesting, and try not to make trouble to the point of embarrassment."

After talking for a while, the servants had packed up and put the box on the carriage, and Joan got up to leave.

After three days, the third wife ordered the stewards to send all the account books to the flower hall, and said to Ye Xizhao with a smile: "I will be able to live at ease in the future."

"No hurry." Ye Xizhao took his seat leisurely, ordered Xia He to bring a few people in, and then said to the third wife, "We still need to check the accounts first. If the third younger siblings have made the Hou's family property too big , it’s not something I can easily take over.”

The third lady looked at the few people Xia He brought.

Ye Xizhao explained: "These are the people who help me with my dowry."

The third lady smiled and said: "Sister-in-law said yes, but I was too impatient." Then she left, "Sister-in-law slowly checked, I still have something to do, I'm going back to my room first."

Ye Xizhao nodded.

As soon as the third lady walked out of the flower hall, she heard Ye Xizhao order the former stewards: "You just wait and watch."

The third lady paused, and then smiled in relief.She didn't expect that Ye Xizhao invited her to the flower hall in the afternoon of the second day.

"Sister-in-law checked it out so quickly?" The third lady was surprised.Is Ye Xizhao proficient in accounts, or is the account reconciliation just a formality?
"You sit down first." Ye Xizhao waved to the maids and stewards, "Go down."

The third lady sat down hesitantly.

Ye Xizhao stood up, and patted a stack of account books beside his hands, "For the sake of the third master, I will ignore these shortfalls in income. Once the money is in your hands, it will also be used in your house. "
