After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

Su Qingwan smiled softly upon hearing this:

"Being a concubine is naturally different from being a daughter."

"My master is handsome and brave, and he dotes on Concubine Xin. It is natural for Concubine Xin to be arrogant because of her doting. Madam, what do you think?"

Su Qingwan looked at Madam Xin.

There were witty remarks in the words of both of them.

Mrs. Xin doesn't care about Aunt Xin's life or death, but she can't let outsiders think that she is a bad teacher and affects the future of other daughters in the Xin family.

Su Qingwan's words could be said to have made her extremely satisfied.

She used a small move to get a big result. She did not mention the faults of the two families, but used the jealous nature of Aunt Xin's youngest daughter to cover up the matter.

Su Qingwan gave her face, so she naturally wouldn't hold on to it, and immediately laughed:

"You are absolutely right."

"Everyone knows that Master Yan is a very good person. Many women in the capital are deeply in love with him!"

What Madam Xin said was half true and half false. It was true that Yan Mingjue was very handsome, but because of his reputation, few women dared to fall deeply in love with him.

If he had a better family background, he would probably really become the dream husband of the girls in the capital.

"Thank you, Madam, for your compliment."

Su Qingwan dealt with Madam Xin again, and Madam Xin then asked to leave.

Su Qingwan sent him out of the house.

From beginning to end, Mrs. Xin never proposed to go and see Aunt Xin, which shows how much she didn't care about this concubine.

After seeing Madam Xin off, Su Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Mingjue owed her another one!

In the study, Zhou Shan had already reported to Yan Mingjue word for word the conversation between Su Qingwan and Madam Xin.

He couldn't help but said:

"My lord, the lady is amazing."

Those words were said very beautifully, and the reputation of the two mansions was saved. If it got out, people would only say that Aunt Xin was too infatuated and became spoiled because of her favor.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shan felt that he would be much more relaxed in the future.

Yan Mingjue was reading some intelligence sent up from below. Hearing this, he said calmly without even raising his eyelids:

"Send the account book from the mansion over."

Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes!"

This means that the lady will be the housekeeper.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked again:

"What about the secret account?"

Yan Mingjue raised his eyelids and glanced at him, with an oppressive look in his eyes.

Zhou Shan suddenly didn't dare to speak, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

When the master asked me to send the account book over, it was just a formal recognition of Madam. There was no way the secret accounts would be handed over to Madam.

"Also, ask Aunt Qin to return the storeroom key as well."

In order to avoid being laughed at by outsiders, Yan Mingjue was unable to support his wife and had to use his wife's dowry to hire a doctor.

This time I owe Su Qingwan a favor. She did a great job this time, so she deserves a reward.

"Yes!"

Zhou Shan responded and was about to go downstairs when Yan Mingjue threw another thing to him. He took it and saw that it was a piece of rag. Judging from the material, it was not cheap.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard Yan Mingjue say:

"This was found on a tree in Aunt Xin's yard."

Zhou Shan immediately understood what his master meant. This was the person who harmed Aunt Xin.

"I'll go check it out right now."

After Zhou Shan finished speaking, he bowed and walked out.

Over there, Su Qingwan was drinking tea, wondering whether Yan Mingjue had found any clues.

Aunt Qin came over and brought the key to the warehouse, saying that she was not up to the task.

Su Qingwan had some guesses in her mind.

After a while, Zhou Shan brought the account book from the mansion.

Su Qingwan then realized that her guess was correct.

This was the sweet treat Yan Mingjue gave her.

It seemed that she had done something that suited his wishes today. This was his reward to her, and it was like officially handing over the housekeeper power of the mansion to her.

"Madam, the master has something else for me to tell you!"

Zhou Shan spoke respectfully.

"What?"

Su Qingwan became interested.

"My Lord said that any future expenses will be paid from the treasury and accounts of the mansion. Madam, please keep your dowry for yourself. The mansion does not need your dowry."

Zhou Shan said tactfully.

Of course, the original words were a bit harsh, so he embellished them.

Su Qingwan was stunned at first, then smiled:

"Okay, I understand. Go down now!"

After Zhou Shan left, Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows at the two maids:

"Look, your uncle is really nice!"
