Yun Zhihan was also afraid of this hot potato, so he hurried to speak up for her.

"Mother, I think that my sister-in-law is doing this for the good of the family. Although the restaurant handled this inappropriately, fortunately it didn't cause a big mistake, and there is still room for easing the situation."

Old Madam Xie understood that Yun Zhihan no longer wanted to take care of the Xie family.

She cried, "Zhihan, you are the Marquis's legal wife and the mistress of the Xie family, how can you be a hands-off manager?"

In fact, what she was thinking was, if Yun Zhihan didn't take care of the household, who should she ask for her ginseng, bird's nest, fine fabrics and food?

"Mother, how can my daughter-in-law not care about the Xie family? It's just that Yuan'er will be appointed to the palace in a few days, and I have to be busy taking care of things, so I have no time to manage the affairs of the family."

"What my sister-in-law did was just desperate. Once she is familiar with the affairs of the Xie family, she will understand the reason."

"This way, my daughter-in-law will have more time to take care of Yuan'er's affairs. Mother is sensible. Yuan'er's career is the future of the Xie family. You should put the overall situation first."

Old Madam Xie frowned. Yun Zhihan was determined not to pay.

But before she could refute, Xie Boyuan stood up.

"Grandma, I think what mother said is very true. These days, mother has been discussing the banquet affairs after taking office with Yuan'er, and cannot spare time to take care of the trivial matters in the mansion. I hope grandma will help me."

My mother has saved my life twice. Since she doesn't want to get involved in the matter of feeding the family, I will definitely lend her a helping hand.

Mrs. Xie tightly closed her mouth as she wanted to open it. If it was Yun Zhihan, she could still make a few excuses, but since Yuan'er had said so, she could only suffer in silence.

After all, she could tolerate some injustice, but the Marquisate could not be left without an heir.

Yuan looked at Yun Zhihan and her son singing the same tune and became furious. Then she compared her own son to them and felt that he was totally useless.

Why does this bitch have such a good life!

The old lady had no choice but to keep silent about the household affairs. She pointed at Yuan and angrily said, "I'll give you one last chance. If you dare to have evil ideas about Yunsheng Restaurant again, don't blame the Xie family for being ruthless."

"If you don't think about yourself, I hope you can think about Liang'er."

"Yes! Mother, my daughter-in-law will never dare to do that again!"

At this moment, Yun Zhihan suddenly came up with an idea.

"Mother, if you trust me, you can hand over the management of the restaurant to my daughter-in-law. I was born into a merchant family, and I have some insignificant insights into running a restaurant."

She would never run a restaurant. She thought that if she got tired of eating at home, she could always go to the restaurant for a free meal. After all, it was her own restaurant and she didn't have to spend any money.

The old lady was very happy when she heard this and agreed immediately, "Okay, in that case, Zhihan will take more care of it."

The restaurant was opened by Yun Zhihan, and both her parents had passed away. With Yuan'er holding her back, she would definitely keep an eye on the restaurant. If she managed it well, she could go back to her old days, and the old lady was happy just thinking about it.

"Thank you, mother. I will do my best as your daughter-in-law."

But Yuan stared at Yun Zhihan, thinking that she did it on purpose. She didn't want the power of finances, but actually took away the lifeline of the net profit of the Marquis' Mansion. What a sinister and cunning woman.

The old lady said: "Okay, everyone, please leave. I am tired too. It is time to rest."

"Yes!"

Everyone left, but Yuan called Yun Zhihan.

"My sister-in-law is really good at this. I am ashamed of myself."

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?" Yun Zhihan pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"Humph! How could you not know? Did you intend to go back to Yunsheng Restaurant?"

"My sister-in-law is innocent." He was like a white lotus now, and he didn't know anything. "I only told my mother because I heard what Manager Lin said. I was afraid that my sister-in-law was being plotted against by bad people."

Yuan didn't believe her lies. "Yun Zhihan, let's wait and see. Do you think you can control me just by taking over Yunsheng Restaurant? Don't even think about it!"

Yun Zhihan doesn't care. As long as they don't touch her money, others can do whatever they want.

"Then the Marquis' Mansion will rely on my sister-in-law."

After saying that, she took Yuan'er away.

Yuan watched her leave gracefully, feeling indignant in her heart, "She is just a little pretty, isn't she? A vixen wants to climb up the tree and become a phoenix, just wait for her to fall to her death."

She muttered a few words under her breath and left with the maids.

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, the maid told her that Miss Song Lian had arrived.

Yuan was upset and confused, not knowing how to explain the matter of the restaurant, but she could only greet him with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Song? How come you have time to come here today?"

"Madam, there is no need to say more. I am here just to ask about the restaurant business. The money is ready." Song Lian whispered in her ear.

Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Ms. Song, you also know that this matter cannot be rushed. Yunsheng Restaurant is under Yun Zhihan's name after all. If you want to transfer it to you, you still need to think about it carefully."

Song Lian had followed his parents in business for many years and saw through Yuan's thoughts at a glance, knowing that the plan was most likely a failure.

"Madam, it seems that you have failed this time. I'm afraid that the deal for this restaurant is doomed."

After hearing her provocation, Yuan Shi tried to flatter herself by saying, "Miss Song, are you looking down on me?"

"I dare not do that." Song Lian rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Ms. Song, the power of the Xie family's backyard is in my hands. It's only a matter of time before I take over the restaurant. You don't have to worry. But you and Liang'er are not young anymore, so you should get married as soon as possible."

Song Lian snorted and laughed. This woman doesn't have much ability, but she wants to be beautiful.

"What the eldest lady said is very true, but I am the eldest daughter in the family. My parents love me very much and hope that I will marry the eldest son of the Xie family so that I can hold my head up high in the Marquis' Mansion in the future and will not be gossiped by the servants."

After these words were spoken, Yuan's face turned cold. No matter how dumb she was, she knew that Song Lian was making a veiled accusation.

"Miss Song, what do you mean by that? Just tell me."

"Nothing." Song Lian felt that this trick wouldn't work, so she decided to go and capture Xie Boyuan. "If Madam has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first."

"Sorry for not sending you far!"

After Song Lian left, Yuan returned to the house and started feeling aggrieved again.

……

After Yun Zhihan came out of the old lady's room, she was smiling and praised her eldest son especially.

"Yuan'er has grown up and knows how to share his mother's worries."

"It's my son's pleasure."

"By the way, do you know where Miss Murong lives?"

"My son doesn't know, what's wrong with my mother?"

"Nothing, I just thought if you're willing, I'd like to invite her to the restaurant for a meal so I can help you find out what she thinks."

Xie Baiyuan blushed unconsciously and lowered his head in silence.

Yun Zhihan knew what he meant at a glance, "Since you don't know, then wait until next time, remember to ask."

"Son knows, I know."

Yun Zhihan's house arrest was lifted, and he thought about going to his own Yunsheng Restaurant. Although it belonged to the mistress of the original book, whoever picked it up would keep it.
