Qin Zhinan immediately smiled and said, "Since Ling'er is willing to lend Yu'er money, I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Jin Lan asked worriedly, "Miss, are you really going to lend money to Miss Two?"

Qin Suling smiled mischievously.

"I only said I would lend her the money, but I didn't say when. It's possible that she might have to wait ten or eight years."

Jinlan felt relieved.

After Qin Suling finished speaking, he went into the yard and planned to take a nap.

When she opened her eyes again, the lights were on in the room.

The room was filled with flickering candlelight, illuminating every corner with brightness and warmth.

It was so quiet that only the occasional bird song, crisp and melodious, broke the silence.

Jin Lan heard some noise in the house and hurried into the inner room. Seeing Qin Suling slowly waking up, she hurried forward to help her change clothes.

After a deep sleep, Qin Suling seemed to be in better spirits and the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked out the window, only to see that the sky had turned dark, which seemed to indicate that a heavy snow was about to fall.

"How long have I slept?" Qin Suling asked softly, with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Jinxiu lowered her eyes, carefully tidied her clothes, and replied, "Miss, you slept for almost two hours. But after you fell asleep, the sky gradually darkened. Judging from the weather, I'm afraid it will snow heavily."

Qin Suling nodded, not caring too much about the coming heavy snow.

When she walked out of the bedroom, Jinxiu had already brought a bowl of hot bird's nest in front of her.

Jinxiu herself sat on the mahogany round stool under the couch, needle and thread in her hands, concentrating on her housework.

Looking at Jinxiu's serious expression, Qin Suling suddenly remembered about borrowing money.

She gently stirred the bird's nest in the bowl and asked casually, "Jinxiu, why do you think the money in our Qin Mansion has become less and less useful in recent years?"

Jinxiu stopped what she was doing and looked up at Qin Suling, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Miss, I'm also wondering. Do you think it's possible that someone under you is corrupt?"

Qin Suling smiled slightly, gently stirred the bird's nest with a spoon, and asked, "Think about it, I helped Madam as the housekeeper for two years. Did I get any benefits?"

Jinxiu thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "Young lady has spent all her energy on the affairs of the inner house in the past two years. She has been busy all day and has become thinner. How can she get any benefit from it?"

Qin Suling sighed, put down the spoon, and said with a smile: "Yes, if there is no benefit, why bother to work so hard? Since the people below want the money, just give it to them. Anyway, the money is not mine."

After listening to Qin Suling's words, Jinxiu understood a little bit.

She nodded and stopped dwelling on the question.

She still felt uncomfortable when she thought of what the maid in the courtyard had just said: "I heard that Madam handed over the power of housekeeper to the Second Young Miss, and those housemaids came in a hurry. I explained everything to them and sent them away. Before they left, they said they would come to pay their respects and kowtow to you often in the future, but the maid in our courtyard said that they turned around and went to curry favor with the Second Young Miss. They really have the best of both worlds!"

Qin Suling lowered her eyelashes when she heard this, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "These housekeepers and old women are used to being human, so there is no need to pay attention to them."

If they were truly loyal, how could she have ended up like that in her previous life?

Qin Suling sat in her boudoir, feeling a slight chill in her heart.

She thought she had taken good care of these housekeepers and had never treated them unfairly, but at this critical moment, they chose to remain silent.

She looked at the falling snow outside the window and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Those people who usually surrounded her were just eyeing the benefits in her hands, and now they changed their minds and went to curry favor with Qin Suyu.

Qin Suling gently put down the bird's nest in her hand. She looked through the diamond-shaped window and saw the snowflakes fluttering in the air, just like her mood, heavy and chaotic.

She ordered someone to light a lamp and carefully looked through the list of private property on the table, but her heart was in turmoil.

At this moment, Qin Suyu was immersed in the joy of victory.

She finally got the right to be the housekeeper from Fang Rushuang, which meant that she would become the object of everyone's admiration in the Qin Mansion.

She recalled that when she traveled through time, Qin Shizhao already had two maids who served as concubines to his wives, and now he had two more wives. There were more people, some were pregnant, some were in a long-term relationship, but now these little bitches had to bow their heads and be obedient.

Qin Suyu's heart was filled with pride. She felt that she would no longer be suppressed by the eldest lady Qin Suling, who came from a humble background.

During this period of time, she had had enough of Qin Suling's anger.

Thinking of this, she felt as if she was floating in the clouds, her heart filled with joy.

She slowly put down the teacup, with an arrogant look on her face, and said to the maid beside her: "Although she is the eldest daughter, she is not worthy after all! This inner house should be managed by me. Now that mother has asked me to manage the household, I am sensible!"

Seeing Qin Suyu so happy, the maid quickly agreed, "Yes, based on your background, you should be in charge of the Qin Mansion's household affairs. You are the Madam's biological daughter. Now you have returned to your proper position."

When Qin Suyu mentioned her origin, she showed a look of disdain on her face. She snorted and said, "If Qin Suling hadn't been lucky enough to stand in my way and be taken back to the Qin Mansion, she wouldn't be able to be compared with me at all!"

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly flattered: "Second Miss has gained power. From now on, in our Qin Mansion, besides Madam, you will be the most honorable one!"

Qin Suyu was so delighted by her coaxing that she covered her mouth and giggled, "You are so sweet." But she thought in her heart that it was time to let her elder sister realize the gap between her and her!

Qin Suyu's eyes were flashing with burning ambition. She was immersed in planning for the future, as if she had already seen a glorious future in which she would control the Qin Mansion and dominate the area.

However, at this moment, the sound of light footsteps outside the door broke her contemplation, and the little girl walked in quickly, with a bit of urgency in her voice: "Second Miss, the housekeepers and maids have arrived."

Qin Suyu was slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She knew very well that there were hundreds of people in the Qin Mansion. If she could win over these housekeepers and maids, her path to controlling the Qin Mansion in the future would be smoother.

So she quickly adjusted her mindset and put on a warm smile: "Please invite them in!"

Following the sound of light footsteps, several housekeepers and maids came in one after another.

As soon as they came in, they were all smiling and flattering: "Congratulations, Second Miss, congratulations, Second Miss!" "The Second Miss is the Madam's biological daughter, and it is only natural for her to be in charge of the household affairs of the mansion."
