The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The mooncakes Mr. Lou sent this time were very large.

In addition to giving it to grandma and Bai Zhenzhen, there is still a lot left. Even counting the two girls Liuyunliuxing, they would have to eat every meal for less than half a month, not to mention that mooncakes don't last long.

Mooncakes will become oily if left for a long time, and then the taste will not be good.

Xue Mingyue thought for a while, and divided a small part for herself, and simply asked the two girls to take the rest and distribute it to the maids and boys in the courtyard. This time there was a major change of servants in the Hou Mansion from inside to outside, and Mu Qingyuan replaced the most people.

Nowadays, most of the people serving in the courtyard are newcomers.

Xue Mingyue didn't understand why Xie Lang would suddenly deal with his servants so vigorously. After all, this had never happened in his previous life. But on second thought, she was the one who suggested that there was something going on in the house.

I think this should be the change brought about by her rebirth.

After all, she would have to live in the Hou Mansion for a while. Even if she didn't win over these maids and servants, she could live more comfortably in the courtyard by establishing a good relationship with them. At least she could have a sip of hot water when she wanted to drink water. .

Once she had a new life, she just wanted to live a comfortable life.

Xue Mingyue ate a five-nut mooncake with hot water, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a long reply to her grandfather who was far away in Chunxia Town, and then asked Liu Xing Take it to the post office and send it out.

After finishing this, she dug out the script she had brought with her as a dowry from the bottom of the box.

An An was lying on the small couch and reading the storybook for an hour. Liu Yun asked hesitantly: "Miss, should we take a look at the account books?"

The account books that Grandma Wang brought over are still piled up.

Xue Mingyue raised her eyes, smiled, picked up the cheese orchid snow tea next to her, took a sip, and said calmly: "There are so many account books, if we want to see them, when will we see them? Besides, we are all novices in this area. It’s also prone to errors.”

"This needs to be done, but we don't have to do it."

She was already the one who wanted to make peace with Xie Lang, so why did she still have to settle accounts with his old Xie family?

Liuyun had some vague thoughts, pondered in his mind for a moment, and asked tentatively: "What does the lady mean..."

Xue Mingyue blinked at her.

Putting down the script, he ordered: "Go and find Liu Xin and Liu Lan who are waiting for the Marquis in the study."

·

At dusk, Xie Lang rode back to his house as soon as he was on duty.

He still remembered that Xue Mingyue went to meet Jiang Hua alone at noon. When he thought of her closeness and importance to this person, he felt as if several vats of jealousy were suddenly overturned. He was both annoyed and indescribable. Uncomfortable.

As soon as I returned home, I went straight to the main courtyard.

He casually asked the waiter: "Madam, can you finish dinner?"

"Your Majesty, Madam has already used it."

"..." Xie Lang felt as if he had been punched on cotton. The expression between his brows and eyes suddenly became gloomy. The black eyes hidden under the long eyelashes became darker and darker, and the corners of his lips were pursed straight. .

At this moment, Wu Ye walked over quickly: "Master Hou."

After that, she whispered the report in his ear.

Xie Lang's eyebrows were slightly raised in surprise, and the gloomy air between his eyebrows dissipated a lot: "Oh? You said that Madam suddenly called Liu Xin and Liu Lan to the main courtyard in the afternoon and has not released them yet? I want to Go check it out.”

Ever since the Muqing Courtyard had a new group of people, all the people in Madam's courtyard were hers, so they didn't pay so much attention to Madam's side.

At present, we only know that Liu Xin and Liu Lan were called to the main courtyard, but they have no idea what happened inside.

Xie Lang walked briskly and strode ahead.

Wu Ye didn't know why the Marquis suddenly became happy. He was a little confused, but he vaguely felt that what happened in the main courtyard and what made the Marquis happy might not be the same thing.

He didn't dare to say anything to spoil the fun, so he just followed behind silently.

The two of them walked along the corridor, and as soon as they approached the main room, they heard a crackling sound of abacus. Xie Lang paused for a moment and frowned quickly. Didn't Mingyue deliberately call these two maids to beat them?

Wu Ye: "Master Hou?"

Xie Lang pursed his lower lip and clenched the hands hidden in his sleeves.

He stopped in silence for a moment and then walked into the house. As soon as he walked in, he heard Xue Mingyue's slow and leisurely voice, with a bit of encouragement: "Don't worry, I'm not the master who waits for trouble. I'll keep it for you these days." You eat well and drink well, and then you can stay here and take care of the accounts. This will be doubled every month, and I will reward each of you two taels of silver after the accounts are settled."

"As for the errands with the Marquis, I will stop for a while and you can go back after you settle the accounts."

"Yes, ma'am."

...Accounting?

Xie Lang's eyebrows suddenly jumped, so she found someone just to help her with her accounts? Isn't it because he wants them to get close to him?

From the corner of the night, he caught a glimpse of his unpredictable expression, and he quickly shouted: "The Marquis is here."

Xue Mingyue and others who were talking in Nuanjian next to them were stunned and immediately stood up to salute.

Xue Mingyue had no choice but to put down the drink at hand, got up from the imperial concubine's couch, gave Liu Xin, Liulan and others a reassuring look, then walked outside, saluted him, and asked: "Why are you here, Lord Marquis? "

Xie Lang said in a deep voice: "Can't I come?"

When the maids next to him saw his sullen face, their hearts suddenly suddenly dropped and they immediately lowered their heads.

Only Xue Mingyue didn't care about his cold face at all and nodded: "Of course it is possible. The Marquis is here just in time. I want to beg Liu Xin Liulan for a few days. I wonder if the Marquis is willing to part with her?"

Everyone was about to go over to use it, and then I thought of asking him for permission.

Xie Lang felt that if he hadn't left today, maybe she would have just sent someone to tell him, and wouldn't even have told him in person. After all, he has never had a meal in the main courtyard in the past few days, and he has never been asked to stay overnight.

Seeing her avoidant attitude towards him, Xie Lang was anxious, but he had no idea what to do.

Xie Lang said helplessly: "You can use the people in this house as you wish."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Xue Mingyue saluted him again.

After saying this, the room suddenly became quiet.

Xue Mingyue waited for a long time with her hands folded, and found that Xie Lang was still standing there motionless, with no intention of leaving. She raised her head and looked at him in confusion, when the other party also lowered his eyes to look at her.

The two stared at each other.

Those dark eyes looked at her steadily, as if they were filled with unspeakable affection.

Xue Mingyue curled up her fingertips slightly, and only looked at him for a moment before looking away, and asked coldly: "Is there anything else, Lord Marquis?"

Doesn't he like to stay in the study?

In the past, he rarely set foot in her yard. After returning from the outside, he would usually go to the study room and stay there, as if it would be very embarrassing for him to step into the yard any more. So why stay here instead of leaving now?

Xie Lang was silent for a moment, nodded, and said yes seriously.

"What Miss Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, did in the palace has been spread in the market. There are all kinds of rumors. Some people are fishing in troubled waters and spreading no less than remarks that are harmful to your reputation."

He paused, looked at her and said, "But I'm already working on it."

Hearing this, Xue Mingyue frowned, thought for a while and asked directly: "How much does this matter have to do with the Yan family?"

"At least sixty to seventy percent."

It seems that the Yan family has a grudge against her.

Xue Mingyue turned her eyes slightly, and suddenly thought of a good way to deal with them, and raised her eyes to look at Xie Lang.

"This matter does not need to be handled by the Marquis. I have a way to solve it."
