Song Wan's eyes swept across the small square table, and then he said with a smile: "Mother is in good health, Wan'er is relieved. If the old lady knows, she will be very happy, I am afraid her body will feel lighter."
Jiang's mother's lips trembled slightly when she heard this, and then she remembered that her mother-in-law was still ill, and it was really inappropriate for her as a daughter-in-law to take a servant and play around.
"Grandma is here, why don't you put this thing away quickly?"
Huamei put away the things neatly with her hands and feet, and then said to Song Wan: "Grandma, I'm sorry, it was my slave who wanted to play and had itchy hands that led the two aunts in the house to play here."
"My wife has not recovered from her illness. I want to make my wife feel alive and well. I know my mistake."
"In other words, relieving mother's illness is a serious matter, and you should be rewarded."
Hengzhi picked out two silver barley grains from the purse in her arms and handed them to Huamei: "Sister, please buy some candies for the other sisters, sweet mouth."
"Oh, thank you so much, madam."
Seeing Jiang's mother nodding, Huamei happily took it, turned around and walked out.
Song Wan sat on the low stool under Jiang's mother's bed. He looked at Jiang's mother who was wiping her forehead with a cotton towel and had returned to a sick look and said, "Is mother feeling better now?"
Lin Jiayue smiled and added: "Madam, she was feeling better just now, but now it's not good to see grandma."
Song Wan did not hear anything and said to Jiang's mother: "Wan'er is no longer in charge of the family now. Although he is free, he is still worried about his mother. So I thought that if my mother is still not feeling well, I would like Wan'er to share the burden for you for a few more days. What do you think?"
"This is natural..."
Just as she was about to respond, Jiang's mother was interrupted by Lin Jiayue.
"Grandma doesn't care about family affairs now?"
"Yes, in order to quell the anger of Jinxiang's uncle, I agree to fast and chant sutras for Mrs. Cheng for the 19th day."
Song Wan's tone was calm and gentle, without the slightest hint of anger at being implicated. Lin Jiayue's lips twitched and she forced a smile and said, "It's strange that the lady in charge of the house has been looking for me these days."
Jiang's mother felt a headache as soon as she heard that the two men were talking about guns and sticks: "Huai Su will stay and help me press my forehead. As for you two, please go back. I have a severe headache and I really can't help you."
"Then Wan'er won't bother mother anymore. If mother feels uncomfortable, she must tell Wan'er."
"I see."
Jiang's mother turned over and turned her back to Song Wan, showing off her guests.
After Song Wan saluted, he quietly exited Jiang's mother's bedroom. Lin Jiayue bit her lip and followed her out.
"What is Aunt Lin laughing at?"
Lin Jiayue frowned: "When did I laugh? And even if I laughed, so what, you don't care much."
Song Wan lowered his eyes and said in a cold tone: "I thought you were so stupid that you even spelled Mrs. Cheng's name wrong, but it turns out you were here for today."
"But even if I don't control the family and don't manage the family anymore, the Marquis would rather hand the family control back to my wife than to you. What can you be proud of?"
"Ah."
Lin Jiayue's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but sneer.
After Song Wan finished speaking, he and Heng Zhihengwu returned to the Lan courtyard, but Lin Jiayue stood in silence for a long time with gritted teeth.
"The sun is shining, why don't you go back to Xiuyan Pavilion?"
"Well, go back. I'll make you some ice cream to eat to cool off the heat."
Lin Jiayue took her personal maid Qianbi, and the two of them wandered back to Xiuyan Pavilion.
After returning to Xiuyan Pavilion, Lin Jiayue felt very uncomfortable.
Song Wan was right, Jiang Xingjian would rather hand over the power of running the family to the incompetent Jiang Mu than give it to her, which really made her unable to laugh.
But she herself had no shame in telling Jiang Xingjian that she wanted to take charge of the family.
"Qianbi, there is a carpenter in the house, right?"
"Of course I do, but aunt wants to make flower cards again?"
"No, I want to make a horse crane."
Lin Jiayue pulled up her hair, took out a charcoal pen and began to draw quickly on the paper. Now that she can use the improved flower cards to get close to Jiang Mu, she can use the quintessence of Chinese horse crane to win back Jiang Mu's heart.
There is nothing more intimate than at the poker table.
After drawing the prototype of the horse crane, Lin Jiayue hurriedly asked Qinghong to send it to the carpenter in Fuzhong. As soon as it was finished in the evening, she went to Jiangxiangyuan alone at night.
Jiang's mother was very reluctant to let her play with this useless thing before, but after hearing how it was played and reluctantly playing it twice, she became completely addicted and had a great time playing, unable to sleep at night.
Even in my dreams, I have to think about how to play cards and how to make cards.
Lin Jiayue was used to being sweet-tongued and liked to feed Jiang's mother. In just a few days, she coaxed Jiang's mother into submission, and the two of them were like mother and daughter.
After playing all night for many days, Jiang's mother was really tired and could not afford to fall ill. Lin Jiayue took this opportunity to offer to help Jiang's mother take charge of the Hou Mansion.
"She wanted to take care of the family. Although I tried to push it away, I really couldn't bear to deal with these trivial matters. The old lady has been sick for a long time this summer, and she still sleeps most of the day. She is so groggy that she doesn't know what day it is."
Jiang's mother said to Huai Su: "Although Song Wan said that he could take charge of the family again, a few days ago she shouted that she didn't care about this or that. Now that she has actually handed over the power, she can say such soft things. Isn't she reluctant to let go? "
"And I don't want to give it back to her so easily, as if the Hou Mansion has left her, it will never be the same again. And she is also useless. She has not slept with Yi'er now. I think Yi'er really doesn't like her."
"As for Aunt Lin... I don't worry about her handling the facts improperly."
"You came from the old lady's room, and you have taken care of Yi'er since childhood. You are the one I trust most in this house."
"Tell me, who should take charge of this family?"
Huai Su lowered his head and pressed Jiang Mu's legs. Hearing this, he smiled softly and said, "Let me tell you that it's better to leave it to Aunt Lin."
"Oh? Why?"
"The Marquis loves Aunt Lin, and I think that sooner or later, I will hand over the money to her in this house. And although Aunt Lin has done some wrong things in the past, the more she does this, the more cautious she will be in the future."
"The Marquis has also figured out Aunt Lin's temperament and will give her some advice."
Jiang's mother nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"Auntie Lin is in charge of the house, and you, my wife, are looking after her. I think she won't cause any trouble again. As for those small mistakes, there are a few things that are common. Over time, I have suffered several losses. I learned it slowly.”
Jiang's mother pursed her lips: "What do you think Song Wan will do in the future?"
Huai Su said: "Grandma is in the mansion. If Aunt Lin really can't support the wall, she can just return the middle gift to Grandma. But if Aunt Lin can run the house independently, it will be beneficial to both Madam and the Marquis Mansion. "
"At that time, there will be no need to be restrained or blackmailed by anyone."
Jiang's mother nodded repeatedly: "If Aunt Lin really learns how to run a house, she and Song Wan can also check and balance each other. Then we won't be afraid of what tricks these two will pull out."
Looking at the gentle Huai Su, Jiang's mother sighed: "Good boy, every word you say speaks to my heart."
Let Baozhu take out a jade bracelet with excellent water quality from his makeup box, and Jiang's mother forced it into Huaisu's hand.
After waiting for Jiang's mother to go to bed, Huaisu returned to Xiuyan Pavilion holding the jade bracelet.
Shi Zhu, who grew up with her since childhood and is now her personal maid, asked in a low voice: "Why did my sister let that person be in charge of the Hou Mansion? No one among the servants likes her."
