Chapter 163 Suddenly woken up by someone
Logically speaking, Xie Yanli was the eldest son of the Marquis's family, the eldest son of the main branch, and had inherited the position of heir apparent.
From now on, this manor will belong to him.
Now, if anyone needs to manage the household, it should be Qin Jiuwei.
What kind of nonsense is it to let the second branch of the family learn to manage the Marquis's mansion?
Although Lady Hou gave her reasons, they still seemed inappropriate.
Madam Xie frowned and said slowly, "This matter still needs further consideration."
She looked up at Madam Hou and said, "If you want Xu Liuer to learn how to manage a household, hand over Zhiyuan Hall to her now, and you can give her some pointers."
Why should I directly manage the Marquis's residence?
However, Madam Xie did not say this directly.
After all, they were family, and she didn't want to make things too ugly.
She really likes Xie Siyuan, her great-grandson.
After all, he was a descendant of the Marquis's family.
So much so that even Xu Liuer and Xie Zhongzhi felt more affection for him.
But no matter how much she loved him, she still knew what was going on.
Xie Yanli is the heir of the Marquis's mansion and will inherit the mansion in the future.
The second wife must never bypass the first wife's household.
When Lady Hou saw that Old Madam Xie was so directly objecting, her expression darkened considerably.
Her voice was hoarse as she explained, "Madam, I was thinking that there are many things to do in the Marquis's mansion. If Liu'er follows me to learn how to manage the mansion, she will benefit more and learn more."
She did this partly because of her promise to Chongzhi.
On the other hand, there were indeed selfish motives involved.
She had a nagging thought in her mind.
She wants Chongzhi to inherit the Marquis's mansion!
At that time, Xu Liuer, as his wife, would naturally be in charge of managing the entire Marquis's mansion.
The more you learn now, the more you'll be able to use it later.
Although, given the current situation, the possibility of Chongzhi inheriting the Marquis's mansion is very small.
But things are unpredictable, and these things are hard to say!
“Grandmother, Mother has no other intentions, she just wants Liu’er to learn more things,” Xie Zhongzhi suddenly said.
"Liu'er has never seen or heard of anything at the border. If she doesn't learn more now, she will easily embarrass herself in front of outsiders and lose face for the Marquis's mansion."
Xie Zhongzhi spoke up, and Madam Xie pursed her lips, pondering.
Seeing the argument that had broken out on the table because of her, Xu Liuer nervously clenched her sleeves.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
If this matter would put her elders in a difficult position or cause discord in the family, she would rather not do it.
But just as she mustered up her courage and was about to speak, Xie Zhongzhi suddenly pressed down on her hand.
Xu Liuer turned to look at him, but Xie Zhongzhi did not speak.
Just then, Madam Xie's voice rang out, "What Chongzhi said makes some sense."
Xu Liuer's knowledge was indeed too limited. Learning from the Guan family was the fastest way for her to improve.
but……
“It’s not enough for Liu’er to learn alone.” Madam Xie turned to Qin Jiuwei, her eyes filled with a kind smile. “Jiuwei, you should also learn how to manage the household with your mother-in-law tomorrow.”
Her voice softened even more, "Are you willing?"
When Qin Jiuwei first entered the household, she was not given the responsibility of managing the household affairs.
At that time, Madam Xie did not trust Qin Jiuwei.
But after so long, Madam Xie has witnessed firsthand that Qin Jiuwei has not only won the love and respect of the three children, but also made Xie Yanli, who has always been indifferent to women, stay in her room every day recently.
She also managed Qinglan Courtyard very well.
It's time for her to learn how to manage the Marquis's mansion.
"My daughter-in-law is of course willing, thank you, Grandmother."
Since Madam Xie had spoken, Qin Jiuwei had no reason to refuse and immediately nodded.
She had managed the imperial palace, let alone the marquis's residence.
Something convenient.
That's how the matter was settled.
Starting tomorrow, Xu Liuer and Qin Jiuwei will learn to manage the household together.
Qiu Yueli was eating her meal quietly when she heard this and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
The Marquis's mansion... she wanted to try and manage such a grand and luxurious mansion.
Zhiyuan Academy.
Xu Liuer walked up to Xie Zhongzhi and helped him undress.
Xie Zhongzhi looked down at her and said, "Tomorrow you and Qin Jiuwei will be managing the household with Mother. You must learn well."
"Don't worry, my husband, I know, I will definitely study hard."
Xie Zhongzhi nodded, still worried, and said, "If Qin Jiuwei bullies you, you must tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you."
Xu Liuer pictured Qin Jiuwei's serene and beautiful appearance and gently shook her head.
"I don't think so. From what I've seen, my sister-in-law is a very easy person to get along with."
Xie Zhongzhi snorted coldly, "That's not necessarily true."
"What kind of good person could Xie Yanli's wife be? You must be extra careful tomorrow!"
Xu Liuer had no idea what the situation was like in the Marquis's mansion.
Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety and nodded slightly.
Xie Zhongzhi smiled with satisfaction when he saw that she was obedient.
Qinglan Courtyard.
Xie Yanli didn't return until very late.
The children were already asleep. After washing up, Qin Jiuwei changed into her nightgown.
She lay drowsily in bed, dozing off, almost drifting off to sleep.
After Xie Yanli returned, he didn't say anything, but went straight to the point once he got into bed.
Qin Jiuwei was asleep when she was suddenly woken up by someone disturbing her.
She looked at the dark figure pressing down on her and mumbled in a dazed voice, "Husband, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Yanli suddenly moved.
The words he wanted to say were instantly turned into intermittent groans.
Qin Jiuwei's beautiful peach blossom eyes closed slightly, her eyes glistening with tears.
Her consciousness gradually faded.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yanli finally stopped.
He started by kissing her cheek intermittently.
Qin Jiuwei nestled in his arms and asked weakly, "What's wrong?"
She could clearly sense that something was wrong with Xie Yanli.
Because tonight he was unusually... forceful.
It was practically smashed to pieces.
Moreover, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just kept his head down and did his work.
This has never happened before.
"It's nothing," Xie Yanli said, his voice slightly hoarse.
Qin Jiuwei didn't believe it and wanted to ask again.
But she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingertips.
He tilted his head to the side and fell asleep immediately.
Xie Yanli looked at Qin Jiuwei's sweaty face and reached out to tidy up the stray hairs on her forehead.
He placed a kiss on her forehead.
He wanted her to love him a little more.
But how can this be explained? Begging won't bring love.
Xie Yanli's dark eyes were deep, and he held Qin Jiuwei even tighter.
Only when he felt the warmth of the person in his arms did he realize that she belonged to him.
Early the next morning.
When Qin Jiuwei woke up, Xie Yanli had already left.
She couldn't help but recall Xie Yanli's strange behavior last night, so she instructed Xiaohe to call Zizhu over.
She needs to find out exactly what happened.
