Two hundred and sixtieth chapters main room thoughts
Liu Yun felt that Lan Xi and Shen Yi were simply broom stars, and anyone who got in contact with them would be unlucky.
After they returned home, the eldest lady called Liu Yun to go to her room. Then she looked through the account books by herself and put Liu Yun aside to dry, without asking her to sit down. Liu Yun guessed that it was because It was Shen Yi's relationship that made the eldest lady feel uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to stand aside obediently.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being forced to stand, but Liuyun has always been afraid of the cold. There is a charcoal stove in the eldest lady's room, but it is placed next to her desk, while Liuyun stands in the entrance hall next to the door, where the stove is turned on. Half of the window was closed, and she was shivering from the cold, but she didn't dare to speak. After standing for an hour, she immediately felt uncomfortable all over.
"What's your relationship with Shen Yi?" The eldest lady probably felt that she had enough airs and finally spoke.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Yun thought for a while and replied.
Although Lan Xi lives in Shen Yi's house, she has not yet married, so strictly speaking, she cannot be considered her brother-in-law. As for her direct relationship with Shen Yi, there is no direct relationship at all.
But it was obvious that Liu Yun's denial sounded like a lie and a cover-up to Ling Lan's ears. She closed the account book hard and gave her a cold look: "It doesn't matter? I don't know about our Dongfang family. My daughter-in-law is very lovable, and the young master of Mr. Shen’s family has been thinking about you for so long, and he is still thinking about you when you get married."
This is serious.
Liu Yun almost immediately retorted and explained: "Aunt Lan misunderstood. I really have nothing to do with him. To be honest, it means that the two parents have some friendship, but Shen Yi just came back from the capital this year. If Aunt Lan If you hear any gossip, you can ask me directly, and I will definitely answer your questions."
Normally, Liu Yun's magnanimity would definitely be admired by Ling Lan, but at this time, everything about her was not good in the eyes of Ling Lan, the daughter of a wealthy family. She just felt that this girl had a sharp mouth, and she would have liked her so much. I thought she was cute and sweet, but I didn't expect that I was wrong.
"I only heard that he has always wanted to marry you. Is this true?" Ling Lan narrowed her eyes and shot a threatening gaze directly at Liu Yun, trying to catch any trace of lying expression on her face.
"The one Shen Yi wants to marry is the daughter of the Mu family." When Liu Yun said this, her expression was even more natural and generous, without any cover-up. She believed that Ling Lan would be able to understand what she meant with her intelligence.
Sure enough, hesitation flashed across Ling Lan's face, and she obviously understood what Liu Yun meant.
She thought of the ten-mile red makeup on the day Liu Yun and Dongfang Ye got married. Although she had not seen it with her own eyes, the word of mouth among people made her feel as if she had been there. Although Liu Yun's identity was the daughter of a merchant, and Daughters from aristocratic families are naturally lower in comparison, but the wealth of the Mu family cannot be underestimated.
Perhaps, what Liu Yun said was right. What Shen Yi wanted was the wealth of Mu Mansion. It was just that Liu Yun happened to be the legitimate daughter that made him want to marry her.
With this thought, Ling Lan's knot in her heart was slightly untied. When she looked at Liu Yun, she felt that this girl was also exquisite and transparent, and was not blinded by Shen Yi's elegance and handsomeness.
"Come over and sit down, what are you doing standing there?" Ling Lan waved to her, and Liu Yun walked over. Her body was slightly stiff, and her legs were terribly numb, but there was no sign of discomfort on her face, only in her movements. Somewhat difficult.
Ling Lan saw that Liu Yun's legs were numb when she stood, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she admired her a little more. Such a resolute character should be her Ling Lan's wife.
"Have you ever learned to keep accounts before?" Ling Lan pushed the account book in front of her and motioned for her to open it and take a look.
Liu Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of headache. She really didn't want to get involved in these power disputes. She had talked about this issue earlier when she and Mo Li were chatting. Mo Li had reminded her at that time that it might not be long before Madam
Liu Yun would drag her into the housekeeper's affairs. At that time, Liu Yun didn't think it would happen, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Mo Li also told her some things about the backyard of the Hou Mansion. On the surface, the eldest lady Ling Lan is in charge, but in fact the most profitable procurement is in the hands of Bai Ruoyan, while Shangguan Lurong is in charge.
The one who doesn't care about the affairs in the backyard just takes care of her own yard.
The purchase in Bai Ruoyan's hands was something she had been pestering Mr. Hou to do. Now that Mr. Hou had spoken, Linglan could only give it to her, but she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart because of her.
With the purchasing power in their hands, many of the merchants who deal with them know Bai Ruoyan as his wife, but they do not know Ling Lan as the real Marquise's wife.
"I haven't learned anything." Liu Yun shook her head, determined to hide her clumsiness. Considering that she had just entered the precarious position of the Marquis, she didn't think it was a good thing for her to rashly bump into Bai Ruoyan for Ling Lan's gun.
But sometimes, if she wants to hide her clumsiness, she has to look at the other person's wishes.
"It doesn't matter. It's easy to keep accounts. You can learn it in a few days." Ling Lan made up his mind to win Liu Yun under his command and make her his best right-hand man against Bai Ruoyan. After all, Liu Yun
She is a young lady, so it is only natural that she should interfere with the affairs of the house.
Liu Yun knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to obey obediently, thinking that he would have to discuss with Mo Li when he went back to see if there was any way to get rid of this.
"You are Ye'er's head wife, and you will be the Marquis's wife in the future. You must always learn to be the mistress of the house. When we are all old, this family will always be handed over to you." Regarding this point, Ling said
Lan is very open-minded, unlike those old ladies who want to hold power in their hands all their lives, or she truly loves and protects Dongfang Ye.
"Yes, I have written it down." Liu Yun nodded. In fact, there are some things about the eldest lady that are worth learning, she thought secretly in her heart.
"Okay, then you go back first. What happened to Shen Yi can be regarded as an innocent disaster. You don't need to take it too seriously. Rumors stop with the wise, understand?" The lady had completely forgotten who happened there just now.
Sulking, now I feel more open-minded.
Liuyun smiled, felt slightly blessed, and then withdrew.
In any case, it is better for the matter between her and Shen Yi to be put on the table now than to be kept in the heart of the eldest lady. She prefers the way the eldest lady handles it. After all, many of them are just because they don't say it out, but they become more and more angry.
Difficulties are difficult to deal with.
Ling Lan looked at Liu Yun's leaving figure for a long time, and then sighed helplessly: "She is a smart girl, but it's a pity that her status is lower."
In fact, Ling Lan still looked down upon Liu Yun's status. Now it was just that Dongfang Ye was in poor health and could not enter the court as an official. If he really won the favor of the emperor and became an official in the court in the future, then she would still work for Dongfang Ye again.
Looking for a wife with a matching identity, as for Liu Yun... I can only wait and see.
