I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Mandarin House.

Mother Yan and Ye Tao are setting the table.

Seeing Song Nanzhi suddenly appear, they were both slightly stunned.

Mother Yan was the first to react and asked, "Why is the prince coming here at this time?"

Song Nanzhi rarely comes to Wenhuaxuan, let alone eat here.

He glanced at the food on the table, two dishes and a soup, one meat and one vegetable. Song Nanzhi couldn't help but frown.

The mistress of a marquis's mansion eats so simply on weekdays!

When he ate at Yuan Qinglian's, the table was always full of chicken, duck, fish, various kinds of meat, as well as hot and cold dishes.

The question originally came out, but he said gently: "Is this what your wife eats on a daily basis?"

Ye Tao disliked Song Nanzhi and said suddenly, "Madam has always been frugal and never wastes money on food, clothing or daily expenses."

"Yes, there is nothing to do today, and Madam still has time to sit down and eat a hot meal. Normally, Madam's food is not as good as that of us servants." Mother Yan continued.

Song Nanzhi's eyes flickered slightly: "Go ask the kitchen to prepare two more dishes. I want to eat here."

"What?" Ye Tao looked at the other person in astonishment.

I just felt that Song Nanzhi had bad intentions.

Mother Yan also hurriedly explained: "Madam, there are no extra cooks here. There are only some allocated to the old lady and Miss Yuanbiao."

Song Nanzhi was slightly stunned. "The Marquis' Mansion is now prosperous again. It won't cost much to hire another cook. There's no need to be tight on money and be stingy with yourself now."

Liu Yueru finished reading the account book and walked out of the conference room, just in time to hear what the prince said.

She sneered.

"When has the Marquis's Mansion ever regained its glory?" Liu Yueru said calmly: "My husband's monthly salary is used to manage his own affairs and to make friends with the rich and powerful. The food and clothing expenses of the mansion are all maintained by the harvests from the fields and shops."

"If you are not frugal, you might not be able to send the gifts you usually give to those dignitaries." Liu Yueru looked at Song Nanzhi and found it ridiculous.

Then someone said, "My husband never asks about the accounts in the mansion. He asks Yue'er for money when he needs it. He has never told us the situation in the mansion, so naturally he doesn't know the difficulties of being the head of the household."

Song Nanzhi's face turned red when he heard that.

After Liu Yueru married into the Marquis's Mansion, she indeed never took a single cent from the mansion.

In Kyoto, there are many social interactions and many expensive gifts to be given, and Liu Yueru has always been left to handle these on her own.

Grandmother always had good food, clothing and other daily necessities, and Liu Yueru never treated her harshly.

He often went to Yuan Qinglian's yard, so he naturally knew that Liu Yueru's monthly salary for Yuan Qinglian and the servants she provided also cost a lot of silver.

Even so, Yuan Qinglian often said in words and deeds that Liu Yuru was lucky to become the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion at such a young age.

Compared with other courtyards, Liu Yueru's courtyard does look deserted.

Seeing Song Nanzhi in a trance, Liu Yueru turned and asked, "What is the matter with you coming to Wenhuaxuan, my husband?"

She said as she sat down.

Song Nanzhi sat on a stool not far from her and said slowly, "I heard from grandma that you are going to marry Qinglian to someone else?"

Liu Yueru said coldly, "My husband, why did you come here in such a hurry just for this?"

Song Nanzhi remained silent.

"My husband really cares about cousin Yuan. You knew I just mentioned it to my grandmother. My husband is in such a hurry, but does he have a suitable candidate in mind?" Liu Yueru looked at him quietly after she finished speaking.

Song Nanzhi was a little speechless, then explained: "This year Qinglian has been with grandma all year round, she is used to it, and she was a little reluctant to hear that you were going to marry her off to someone else."

Liu Yueru smiled, "My husband, don't be nervous. I was just saying it casually. Whether or not Cousin Yuan wants to get married is up to Grandmother."

"It's just that Yue'er doesn't want outsiders to think that the prince is a man who favors his concubine over his wife, so I said this." Liu Yueru said as if it was nothing serious.

Song Nanzhi was puzzled: "I don't even have a concubine, how can I favor my concubine and abandon my wife?"

Liu Yueru stared at him with sharp eyes and smiled faintly.
