Zhong Shian immediately bowed to Su Yue.

"My subordinate Zhong Shi'an has met Madam."

Su Yue hurriedly helped him and said in a panic: "Since you are Xiao Han's adoptive father, you are also my adoptive father. I dare not accept such a great gift from you."

She saw that Leng Xiaohan valued this man very much, but she didn't expect that he would value him so much, and he actually recognized him as his adoptive father.

But since he recognized him as his adoptive father, why did he become the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion?

There must be something hidden in this.

Zhong Shian still lowered his head humbly.

"Madam, you are joking. The Marquis has a noble status. How can he accept his subordinates as his father? It is because the Marquis has deep love and righteousness."

Su Yue looked at Leng Xiaohan in confusion, and now was not the time to explain.

Leng Xiaohan looked at the old woman next to Zhong Shian and continued to introduce; "That is Uncle Zhong's wife, Aunt Zhong."

Jiang Yingmei immediately knelt down and smiled broadly.

"Old lady Jiang, I have met Madam."

Su Yue immediately returned the greeting and said, "Aunt Zhong, there is no need to be polite."

"Those two are Uncle Zhong's daughters, Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu."

Leng Xiaohan looked at the two young women behind Zhong Shian. They were about seventeen or eighteen years old and looked very similar.

Su Yue followed his gaze and saw two girls, one wearing a pink dress and the other wearing a yellow dress, both beautiful.

It's just that Zhong Yu's facial features are more lively and compact, while Zhong Ling's is more gentle and dignified.

Zhong Ling slightly curved his lips, smiled appropriately, and bowed his knees very dignifiedly and said, "Zhong Ling would like to pay my respects to the Marquis."

Zhong Yu smiled brightly and said in a cheerful tone: "Zhong Yu meets the Marquis and Madam."

The smile on Su Yue's face faded a bit. She looked deeply at Zhong Ling and felt the smell of tea coming to her face.

Today she and Leng Xiaohan had just arrived at the Hou Mansion, but she only paid tribute to Leng Xiaohan and ignored her.

She didn't think she was being unintentional or ignoring it, it was clear that she didn't take her seriously.

Leng Xiaohan also noticed this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, he immediately took Su Yue's hand and walked inside, and said;

"You are the mistress of the Hou Mansion. I will ask Chiyang to give you the key to the warehouse, the account book, the land deed, the servant's deed of sale, etc. later.

You don't need to worry about anyone in this house, everything is up to you. "

Zhong Ling stood up slowly and looked at the intimate figures of Leng Xiaohan and Su Yue. He couldn't help biting his lower lip, and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

The others did not notice her abnormality and followed her into the Hou Mansion.

Leng Xiaohan took Su Yue and the two children to get familiar with the entire mansion.

Entering through the main door is the hall, and entering through the side doors on both sides of the hall is the front yard, where there are study rooms, accounting rooms, etc. respectively.

The houses on the left and right sides of the front yard are where the servants and guards live, as well as the warehouses.

The back garden is entered through hanging flower arches on both sides of the front yard.

The back garden has pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, rockery ponds, and the scenery is unique.

The backyard is where the masters live.

The main courtyard, side courtyards on both sides, etc. Each courtyard has a main house and two east and west wing rooms on the left and right.

The main courtyard is particularly large, with the main house divided into outer and inner rooms, a study and a clean room, etc.

The entire mansion is too big to be visited in one time, and everyone is very tired after traveling for days.

After casually strolling around, we went back to the hospital to rest.

Su Yue and Leng Xiaohan naturally live in the main courtyard, and the main courtyard is called Qinchun Hall.

The courtyard where Wang Youning lives is next to the main courtyard and is called Jinxiu Garden.

Wang Youan is eight years old. Logically speaking, he should live in the front yard, but Leng Xiaohan does not intend to take a concubine, and Su Yue does not intend to take a concubine for him. The backyard is empty anyway.

So he was arranged to live in Muxue Pavilion on the other side of the main courtyard.

Wang Youan thought the name was not nice and wanted to change it to Moxiangyuan, so Leng Xiaohan let him go.

There were ten people waiting on the two children.

Wang Youning has two nannies, who are usually responsible for the rules and daily life, four maids to serve closely, and four women to do rough cleaning.

Wang Youan has two maids who are responsible for daily life and other things that require careful attention, two book boys, and six servants.

The rest of the entire Hou Mansion is naturally in order.

Zhong Shian is the housekeeper and is responsible for the chores in the front yard. His wife Jiang Yingmei is in charge of the backyard and is considered the housekeeper. In addition, there are kitchen stewards, warehouse stewards, accounting stewards, etc.

In the main courtyard, Su Yue is surrounded by Youmeng and Youying, as well as a number of slaves.

When she and Leng Xiaohan returned to Qinchun Hall, the maids and mothers-in-law were waiting respectfully in the courtyard, all kneeling down to salute.

Su Yue was now exhausted and just wanted to rest, so she just asked them to get up and went straight into the house.

This prince's mansion is very luxurious, with exquisiteness and luxury everywhere. There are also large groups of servants, everyone is respectful.

But Su Yue was not happy, even a little dull.

Especially the path from the entrance to the backyard, the main door, the side door, the arch...the doors are getting smaller and smaller, like layers of shackles.

She seemed to see the figures of women who had been trapped in the backyard.

Leng Xiaohan saw that she was unhappy and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you? Is it because that Zhong Ling is unhappy?"

Su Yue shook her head, feeling increasingly tired.

"It's not because of her..."

Of course she wouldn't be unhappy because of such a dispensable person.

No matter why she doesn't take her seriously, at least she is still the heroine of the Hou Mansion.

But she was still a little curious, why did Leng Xiaohan recognize Zhong Shian as his adoptive father?

So she asked; "What's going on with Zhong Shi'an?"

Leng Xiaohan's eyes deepened, and just when he was about to explain, someone knocked on the door, and then a gentle female voice came.

"Master Hou, I'm here to deliver rock sugar and snow pear soup to you."

The two of them were sitting on the couch at a very close distance. Su Yue pushed Leng Xiaohan.

Leng Xiaohan didn't move. He lowered his face. Just as he was about to say something, Su Yue said directly to the outside: "Come in."

Su Yue held her chin up with a playful look on her face. If she heard correctly, this was Zhong Ling's voice.

But Leng Xiaohan's face became increasingly ugly. Under Su Yue's push, he had to sit aside.

After a while, Zhong Ling slowly walked into the house with a tray.

Her skin looks like snow, and her figure is graceful. The skirt is embroidered with a circle of small flowers, and she looks like a lotus growing every step of the way.

After entering the room, her eyes fell directly on Leng Xiaohan, looking directly at Su Yue as nothing. There was a shallow smile on her peach-like face, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was like a shadow.

"Master Marquis, when we were at the border, you often drank the pear soup I stewed. Yesterday I learned that the prince was coming back today, so I prepared it early. Can you taste it and see if it is still the same as before?"

After saying that, she placed the tray on the small table on the couch. She held up the exquisite and small porcelain cup in her delicate jade hands and placed it in front of Leng Xiaohan. Then she looked at him expectantly.

Su Yuong's playful mood was suddenly filled with sour taste, and his eyes fell straight on Leng Xiaohan.

Leng Xiaohan directly flicked the porcelain cup to the ground. After it hit the ground with a crisp sound, it splashed all over Zhong Ling.
