The complete defeat of Madam is evident to everyone. Although the Minister of Revenue is unwilling, they will take away the Silver Taels that Madam has saved over the years. However, with Jiang Tingyu and General Xia present, he cannot do much.
He might even get implicated himself.
But this grudge has been noted.
Before leaving, the Minister of Revenue shot a fierce glare at Xia Yuhan: "Xia Yuhan, mark my words. I will take my revenge. Don't think that just because you have the Right Chancellor backing you, you can act with impunity. Without the Right Chancellor, you are nothing. Hmph."
After the Minister of Revenue and a group of renowned doctors from the capital left, General Xia looked at Xia Yuhan and asked solemnly, "Yu Han, how do you plan to deal with your Madam now? No matter what you decide, this general will follow your orders."
Jiang Tingyu was also quite curious about what choice Xia Yuhan would make. It seemed that ever since meeting Xia Yuhan, he had become more open and less self-enclosed...
Xia Yuhan nodded slightly and coldly looked at the disheartened Madam beside him: "Daddy. Although Madam has committed an unforgivable crime, the Xia Manor has already suffered a significant blow. If this bad reputation spreads again, it is feared that Daddy's lifetime of wisdom will be ruined by us."
"So... Yu Han does not intend to punish Madam. But regarding the authority of the housekeeper, Madam, do you still have the qualifications to manage it now?"
Madam's once imposing aura had long faded. She knew that several major issues were coming her way. She had no way out at all. Even her father, the Minister of Revenue, was helpless. Being able to preserve her reputation was already a stroke of luck...
But she watched helplessly as what she had painstakingly built and longed for was taken away by this scoundrel Xia Yuhan. Her heart was filled with unwillingness. She would rather die than live in such humiliation.
Xia Yuhan understood Madam's current situation and did not want to continue seeking her opinion: "Since Madam remains silent, perhaps Daddy should hand over this authority to my mother, with Madam assisting her fully. This way, we can avoid some gossip."
"You scoundrel! Even if I sink like a fish, I will not let you have your way. This failure was not due to your efforts but rather at the hands of the esteemed Right Chancellor. I may have lost, but I still hold my head high." To eat my flesh and blood and expect me to serve you is simply wishful thinking.
At this moment, General Xia did not even want to look at Madam. He scolded her: "Enough, Chen Yu. Don't you think it's time to reflect on your actions?"
He quickly turned to Jiang Tingyu and repeatedly apologized: "All of this is due to my poor management. I hope the Right Chancellor does not take it to heart..."
"But it's already too late. Jiang Tingyu has remembered everything that happened today without reservation. How can the General expect Jiang Tingyu to forget? General, may I have a word?"
"Yes, Right Chancellor."
General Xia found the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom somewhat inscrutable. He couldn't understand why someone who dared to defy imperial orders would repeatedly disregard his own status to come to Yu Han's aid.
As General Xia was deep in thought, he was awakened by Jiang Tingyu: "Does the General still remember what Jiang Tingyu said to him in Xia Yang Village?"
General Xia bowed to Jiang Tingyu: "Right Chancellor, your words are like gold. This old minister dares not forget."
"Very well. Let me remind the General. Since Jiang Tingyu can guess Yu Han's extraordinary background, others surely can as well. It's just a matter of time. If the General does not understand, Jiang Tingyu can clarify further. This Imperial Jade Seal may very well be related to Yu Han's origins."
Upon hearing this, General Xia was taken aback: "In response to your Excellency, how could this be possible? This is completely impossible."
Jiang Tingyu left with a parting remark: "General, I ask you, how many women in the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom can be like Yu Han? What you do not know is that Yu Han has saved Jiang Tingyu many times before. Farewell..."
General Xia's face turned pale. He never expected things would have such serious consequences.
Xia Yuhan was worried. After seeing off Jiang Tingyu, she hurried over to General Xia: "Daddy, what did the Right Chancellor say to you?"
"Nothing much. Just some ordinary talk. Now let's go back."
Seeing this situation, Xia Yuhan didn't press further. She exchanged a few words with the people from Sun Mansion before letting them leave.
Turning to Jia Gu, who was terrified and at a loss, Xia Yuhan approached and whispered: "Go to Sun Mansion and collect some Silver Taels. Then run for your life. The Minister of Revenue won't let you off so easily."
“Commoner Sister Xie’s mercy for not killing me. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay this kindness.” Jia Gu bowed deeply several times before turning and leaving.
General Xia watched Xia Yuhan’s every move and couldn’t help but praise, “Yu Han is becoming more and more capable. Daddy is truly happy for you. Let’s go. For more chapters, please visit. Let’s head back.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
……
Originally wanting to end her life, Madam thought of Xia Wan'er and immediately softened. She realized that if she died, there would be no one to take care of Xia Wan'er. Thus, she endured the pain and chose to live, helping Second Madam manage all affairs of Xia Manor.
However, the management consisted only of trivial matters. Major decisions were left to Xia Yuhan. Especially since General Xia had to leave Xia Manor in a hurry due to urgent matters at the front, the entire Xia Manor was essentially managed by Xia Yuhan alone.
In a month, it would be the Emperor’s Fiftieth Birthday Celebration. Bu Jingyun stayed behind to provide protection and also to safeguard Xia Yuhan.
In just a short time, the entire Xia Manor underwent a significant transformation. The people within Xia Manor could feel the changes clearly. However, those outside of Xia Manor did not notice much.
The news of Madam being pregnant with the General spread throughout the Noble Class of the Royal Craftsmen. Many came to offer gifts. However, anyone who came to see Madam was personally welcomed by people arranged by Xia Yuhan. Thus, before long, most of Madam’s connections were thoroughly understood by Xia Yuhan.
Among these connections, there were no suspicious signs from the Puppet Master.
At present, what Xia Yuhan needed to do was to manage Xia Manor diligently, eliminate dissenters, and cultivate her own people, completely forgetting about her upcoming attendance at the Flower Viewing Banquet…
It wasn’t until Sun Liuxiang hurriedly arrived at Xia Manor, asking how preparations for the Flower Viewing Banquet were going that Xia Yuhan suddenly remembered this matter.
“What? The Flower Viewing Banquet! When is that? Why hasn’t anyone reminded me?”
"Rain Cold Sister has just taken over Xia Manor, such a large estate. It's only natural that she would be overwhelmed and forget about such matters."
Xia Yuhan covered her face with the account book: "Yeah. It's a headache. I didn't expect that Madam had managed so many businesses for Xia Manor over the years. It's really too much to handle. Speaking of which, when is the Flower Viewing Banquet?"
"Three days from now."
"What? So soon?"
Since Xia Yuhan started collecting rent, she had been as busy as a superhero, her delicate figure appearing everywhere. Moreover, having recently taken over Xia Manor after completely defeating Madam, she had to handle all the handovers, making her even busier. How could she remember anything about the Flower Viewing Banquet?
"Sigh... these are truly exhausting days. The Flower Viewing Banquet is like a banquet of doom. Sister can go if she wants, but once there, she must keep her distance from Yu Han, or it could be life-threatening."
Sun Liuxiang gasped and quickly covered her mouth: "Sister, if that's the case, we might as well not go."
"You're mistaken, Liu Xiang. If Xia Manor wants to survive in the capital, we need to engage with the upper class. If we don't go, those people will surely have a bad impression of Xia Manor. In the future, they might even kick us out. We have no choice but to attend. But you, sister, clearly have someone you like already and still want to go. How can you face your beloved?"
"Don't talk nonsense, sister. I came here this time specifically to discuss not attending the Flower Viewing Banquet with you."
"Haha. Don't worry. I will definitely do my best to match you with Bu Jingyun, the general. He's quite handsome."
Suddenly, a person flew onto the roof and, upon hearing Xia Yuhan's last sentence, angrily flew away in a hurry.
At that moment, Bu Jingyun, who had come to report matters to Xia Yuhan, felt awkward upon hearing that she wanted to match him with Sun Liuxiang and that she was praising him for being handsome.
"Second Sister... Bu Jingyun... you called for me?"
"Hey hey. Yes." Xia Yuhan said with a mischievous smile. She got up and handed a ledger and some land deeds to Sun Liuxiang. Turning to Bu Jingyun, she instructed, "Half of the capital's taverns are for the Sun Mansion. Yu Han wants to invite the brilliant and mighty General Bu to take Yu Han's sister to see the tavern."
Sun Liuxiang felt shy from Xia Yuhan's words. She quickly lowered her head and said, "What sister? Stop it already. Liu Xiang will go see it herself in the future. Farewell."
"Ah... you're leaving so soon? General Bu, why don't you go see her off?" Xia Yuhan said with a sly smile.
Bu Jingyun was at a loss for what to do: "Second Sister. Bu Jingyun doesn't want to talk about these things right now. Besides, Bu Jingyun wants to find a woman who makes him feel moved on his own."
Xia Yuhan seemed not to have heard: "Oh, this Sister Liu Xiang. Although she has a bit of a temper, she usually doesn't lose her temper easily. And Sister Liu Xiang..."
"Second Sister."
Xia Yuhan didn't expect Bu Jingyun to interrupt her so decisively: "Second Sister. Bu Jingyun doesn't want to talk about this for now. I'm leaving."
Xia Yuhan stood there in shock: "This... could it be that you have someone you like?"
As Bu Jingyun reached the door, he paused for a moment, looking deeply at Xia Yuhan before hurriedly leaving.
Xia Yuhan didn't know that actually, before this, Bu Jingyun's heart had already been beating for her...
