Xianyue on the side heard this and couldn't help but frown and said to Chu Wanyan.

"Third Miss, please be careful. The eldest miss is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, so she is still doing business outside."

"You cheap maid, what's wrong with you? Is it your turn to instigate a relationship between us and eldest sister?" Chu Wanyan glared at Xian Yue, and then said to Chu Huanyan, "Eldest sister, don't worry. I don’t mean to dislike you.”

Don't dislike it?

Chu Huanyan was amused. Then should she still be grateful to Chu Wanyan for not being disrespectful, and then let her take advantage of her?

"Miss Third, you..."

"Xianyue." Chu Huanyan interrupted Xianyue, "Actually, Wanyan is right. After all, it is the Hou Men's mansion, how can he go out and show his face."

"Miss..." Xian Yue looked at Chu Huanyan in confusion.

The young lady has clearly said that women cannot do business, but it is just the so-called etiquette and the shackles imposed on women by men in power, which makes no sense at all.

As long as she has the ability, a woman can carve out a world for herself without relying on her father, brother, or husband.

Chu Huanyan smiled slightly and continued: "So, I decided not to do business anymore."

"what?"

Chu Wanyan and Chu Ziyuan were stunned again.

"Sister, if you don't do business anymore, what will happen to the household expenses?" Chu Ziyuan said immediately.

"The Hou Mansion can receive some salary every month. Although it is not much, it is enough to live a relatively poor life." Chu Huanyan paused and looked at Chu Wanyan with a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, Wanyan is still It woke me up. I am also the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, so naturally I can’t continue to show my face to the public and cause the Hou family and you younger brothers and sisters to lose face."

"Sister, don't listen to her, you..."

"Okay, you don't need to comfort me. I have already made my decision, and I believe that from the bottom of your heart, you must not want me, the eldest sister, to continue to go out and work hard, right?" The smile on Chu Huanyan's face did not change. , looked at Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan expectantly.

For a moment, the two of them seemed to have eaten flies, and they could only nod their heads.

Seeing that Ah Si on the other side had already received thirty blows and was lying on the ground like a dead dog, Chu Ziyuan had no intention of paying attention.

But when he saw Chu Huanyan was about to leave, he quickly brought up the matter of reporting to the official again.

"Sister, what should we do with the House of Lords of the Ministry of Finance?"

"This matter is not urgent. As I said just now, the money is only enough to take care of one thing. You two have to decide who to take care of first. Come to me after you decide."

With that said, without waiting for the two of them to speak again, Chu Huanyan ordered to Xian Yue: "I'm tired and want to go back to rest. Let everyone disperse."

"Miss, then Ah Si..."

Chu Huanyan glanced at Ah Si and said, "Since the prince is so protective, let the prince handle the matter."

However, Chu Ziyuan may not be in the mood to care about Ah Si now.

As Chu Huanyan expected, after she returned to her yard, Xianyue came to report not long after, saying that Chu Ziyuan just had people carry Ah Si away and throw him back to the room. Not to mention calling a doctor, even Jin Zhang No one was given a bottle of medicine.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him to make sure nothing happens. Also, if he can't stand it anymore, he can come to our yard without stopping him. But before that, no one is allowed to send medicine unless he is really dying. ." Chu Huanyan ordered while looking through the account books sent by the accountant.

"Yes, Miss." Xian Yue responded.

Seeing Xian Yue still standing there, Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked at her, "Is there anything else?"

Xian Yue frowned, "Miss, I heard that the second young master and the third young lady are having a huge quarrel. I'm afraid it won't be long before the quarrel comes in front of you."

"If someone stops me, just say that I was exposed to Chu Wan's smoke before, and my body is not fully recovered. Now I am not feeling well and no one can see me." Chu Huanyan retracted her gaze and continued to look at the account book in front of her.

Although she didn't mind watching dogs bite dogs, she would not give Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan a chance to transfer their conflicts to her.

That night, Chu Huanyan thought she would have difficulty falling asleep, but unexpectedly, she slept well.

I slept until noon, and was finally woken up by the sound of the crescent moon.

"Miss, wake up, Mrs. Lin is here."

"Mrs. Lin?" Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xian Yue was talking about Lin Zeyuan's mother, Yang.

Yang returned to the imperial city with Lin Zeyuan half a year ago, and met her shortly after he accepted the engagement.

At that time, Mrs. Yang kept saying that although she was penniless, she would never be a drag on her son. Moreover, she had already found a job washing clothes for others and did not need support from the Marquis Mansion.

At that time, she still admired him a little, but later, she didn't know whether he did the washing work, but in the past six months, she really spent a lot of money from the Hou family.

After Chu Huanyan finished washing, when she arrived at the front hall, Yang was already sitting at the main seat drinking tea.

Seeing Chu Huanyan coming over, she placed the tea cup in her hand with a sullen face. The bottom of the cup hit the cup holder with a heavy crunching sound.

"Huanyan, you are so arrogant that you made me, an elder, wait for so long."

"My aunt suddenly came to visit, and she didn't let anyone know in advance. The Hou family is busy with things, so she neglected her." Chu Huanyan said with a smile on her lips. As she spoke, she walked directly to the chair and sat down.

Yang glanced at Chu Huanyan unexpectedly, then her expression became even more gloomy, and she scolded unhappily:

"Don't you know how to salute your elders when you see them? Our Lin family is a scholarly and official family. Although we are a little depressed now, we must not lose our etiquette."

"Mrs. Lin, this is the Hou Mansion, not the Lin family." Xian Yue said.

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Yang slammed the table, pointed at Crescent Moon, and looked at Chu Huanyan dissatisfied, "Is this the maid you taught?"

"Did Xian Yue say something wrong?" Chu Huanyan turned her head blankly, "This is indeed the Hou Mansion, not the Lin Family."

"you……"

Yang choked, obviously not expecting that Chu Huanyan not only did not reprimand Xianyue, but also spoke like this, and she suddenly felt even more annoyed.

"So what about the Hou Mansion? You are Yuan'er's fiancée. When you two get married, the rules of the Hou Mansion will naturally follow those of the Lin family!"

"Auntie is joking, don't tell me that you and Zeyuan are not married yet. Even if we are married, it will be me marrying into the Lin family, and it will have nothing to do with the Marquis Mansion. Is it possible..."

Chu Huanyan deliberately lengthened her tone, paused, and continued with a surprised expression.

"Is it possible that the Lin family cannot support me and Zeyuan, so you have already thought about letting Zeyuan marry you?"
