Chapter 48 My daughter is really rich!

Xu Zhaozhao curled her lips into a smile, her expression quite intriguing: "What did you do wrong that you need me to punish you?"

Zhu Zi hurriedly kowtowed several times on the ground: "Reporting to Master, I shouldn't have become so arrogant just because you value me. I shouldn't have argued with Steward Zhang outside, and I shouldn't have been disrespectful to the elders in the manor..."

I talked about a whole bunch of things, but they were all trivial matters.

In fact, Zhu Zi didn't do anything too outrageous.

Xu Zhaozhao appointed Gao Da Kui for two reasons: first, because there was a real shortage of manpower, and second, to give Zhu Zi a warning, to let him know whose family he was serving, and not to let outsiders fool him into thinking he could find another wise ruler.

"Get up, it's not a big deal."

Xu Zhaozhao's nonchalant attitude left Zhu Zi completely bewildered and even more flustered.

"Master, I am not at ease. I feel that I have done something wrong to make you angry. I am stupid and foolish. Please give me some guidance."

Xu Zhaozhao remained silent, while Dingxiang chuckled beside her: "How did you know Miss was angry? Do you really think that just because you've done something good outside, you can guess what your mistress is thinking?"

Zhu Zi was startled and trembled, "I wouldn't dare!"

Dingxiang simply walked around him and said, "Miss didn't say she was going to punish you. You're really ungrateful. Miss only asked someone to come and help you because she saw you were too busy and had lost some weight. Our Miss is very capable. You don't think that's all the business Miss has in the future, do you?"

Zhu Zi was taken aback. "That makes so much sense!"

So he's just making trouble for himself?

“Sister Dingxiang is right, I was just being too attached to appearances.”

Dingxiang glared at him: "Who are you calling 'sister'? Get out of here!"

Xu Zhaozhao asked a few more questions about the shops outside, and then sent the man away.

She's making a lot of money here now, so it's no wonder she's attracting attention.

This is just the beginning, so no one will say anything yet, but as time goes on, there will always be some trouble.

When Xu Han returned home, he first went to the main courtyard to change out of his official robes. He had just changed into his everyday clothes when he was about to go to his study, but Wang Ruolan stopped him.

"Is something wrong?"

Wang Ruolan glared at him: "Can't I even keep you here for a few words if there's nothing wrong?"

Xu Han immediately wilted a bit: "What are you talking about? I was just thinking of going to the study to write a memorial."

"Alright! I know you too well! Your study is full of sand table military books. Don't think I don't know that the Emperor only writes memorials when he's urging you to."

With his secret exposed, Xu Han felt a little guilty: "Then what does Madam wish to instruct me on?"

Listen to these words! It's unbelievable that a dignified marquis would be so humble in front of his wife.

“Our daughter is capable. In just a few months, she has already amassed a large sum of money. Today, when the steward brought money back, she specially ordered someone to send you a hundred strings of cash.”

Xu Han's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Is Xu Han short of money?

lack!

Are Xu Han's businesses profitable?

earn!

But this did not affect his lack of money at all.

The main problem is that the people under my command are too extravagant and hard to manage!

And the daughter just threw out a hundred strings of cash, wow, she's so rich!

Wang Ruolan couldn't stand his foolish look of suddenly becoming rich overnight, so she lightly punched him: "What a loser! Haven't I skimped on your spending before?"

Xu Han chuckled and said, "No, not really. But what my daughter gives me is definitely different. Even if she only gives me a string of cash, I'll still be happy."

Wang Ruolan smiled, her heart filled with joy as well.

Xu Zhaozhao did not send her any money, but the day before the opening of Meirenzhuang, she had someone send her a whole set of cosmetics. Two days ago, she sent over two bottles of the latest scented perfume, which even Xu Han, a rough and uncultured man, said smelled good. How could Wang Ruolan not be happy?

"What I want to tell you is that our daughter has to be successful on her own, and we as parents can't just take the benefits without giving her support, can we?"

"How could I not protect my own daughter!"

"What do you have to say about the Sun family's matter?"

The case involving the Sun family may seem to be closed, but in reality, there are many follow-up problems.

For example, why did someone stand up and testify against Xu Zhaozhao at that time?

Why is it being attributed to Xu Zhaozhao when the sachet clearly doesn't belong to her?

Xu Han did not attend the banquet.

Now, when his wife mentioned this matter again, his face immediately darkened.

Xu Lin is his sister, that's true, but who are the Sun family? How dare they bully his daughter like that!

"Don't worry, I have a plan for this. But we can't rush it, and we also have to consider Xu Lin's feelings. Besides, we can't give anyone a reason to criticize us."

Wang Ruolan snorted, it was unclear whether she believed him.

Xu Han wasn't in a hurry to go to the study. He took his wife's arm, and the two sat down on the couch together. "I heard that Xie Sanlang is coming back. Originally, that old bastard Xie Xiaolin was not happy about it, but I heard that this time the Emperor intends to summon Xie Sanlang back to the capital, and may give him a position in the capital."

Wang Ruolan asked, puzzled, "So what?"

"Tsk, are you stupid? What if Xie Sanlang comes back and the Xie family starts pressuring us to get married? Our daughter is still so young, we can't let that bastard take her home now!"

Wang Ruolan glared at him, thinking, "What kind of talk is this?!"

Xu Han didn't think he was wrong. He had raised his daughter for more than ten years, spoiling her rotten. How could he let another man take her away so easily?

Furthermore, the Xu and Xie families have always been on good terms, but Xie Sanlang has been in Jizhou for several years. Who knows if he has any female companions there?

We need to review it carefully before making a decision.

"There's no rush for the marriage. Besides, we already discussed it with the Xie family. The earliest we can arrange for them to get married is next year."

"That's true, but I'm afraid something might go wrong. I was planning to raise our daughter until she's twenty before she gets married!"

Wang Ruolan slapped her across the face: "Have you gone mad? Are you going to become an old maid? Paying the fine is a small matter, but if our noble family's daughter can't get married, wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?"

Xu Han wasn't angry after being hit: "I was just saying that, why are you so upset? But we've agreed that the earliest you can get married is next autumn or winter, no earlier than that. If Xie Sanlang agrees, we can delay it for another two years."

That at least sounds like a sentence!

Wang Ruolan glared at him fiercely, afraid that this man would cause some trouble again.

"It's true that my daughter gave you a hundred strings of cash, but she specifically asked me to tell you to be careful with it. Oh, and she also said she has something to discuss with us, that we should go to Ziyuan together when you come back. Oh, I completely forgot!"

Wang Ruolan quickly got up, but after taking only two steps, she saw Xu Han still sitting in his seat in a daze, and pulled him up: "Hurry up and go, don't keep Zhaozhao waiting!"
