Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 307 Mother-in-law's View of Son-in-Law

Upon entering the mansion, one could see paper-cut window decorations everywhere. The steward reported the recent expenses of the mansion to Xiao Bailing. Since the Xiao family consisted of only the grandfather and grandson, Xiao Qi was young and often away from home, while the old Duke was old, Xiao Bailing had always been in charge of the mansion's accounts and shops.

"The Xiao family really needs a mistress of the house," Shen Li could only sigh as she watched her mother busy at work.

She had never learned to look at accounts since she was a child, so she couldn't help even if she wanted to. On the contrary, Gu Chang'an listened carefully and offered some suggestions.

This directly led to Xiao Bailing praising Gu Chang'an highly.

Shen Li and her father's eyes met at some point, and they both saw a fleeting look of shame on each other's faces.

The father and daughter shared a similar aloofness, regarding money as dirt and accounting as trivial matters. At this moment, they deeply realized that their aloofness was supported by someone.

"You know so much about the family accounts?" It was only when the shop's profits were mentioned that Xiao Bailing realized that Gu Chang'an not only knew about them, but was also knowledgeable about them.

Gu Chang'an nodded slightly: "Yes, I occasionally take a look at the household accounts."

"You can't understand this just by glancing at it. Chang'an, you manage the country's accounts outside, and you also have to manage the family's accounts when you come home?" Xiao Bailing asked incredulously.

Shen Li was so angry she wanted to disappear into the ground. Why bring this up during the New Year?

Shen Zizai was also looking down, searching for an opening. How could a man be so considerate?

"Mother-in-law, you flatter me. I'm just worried that the servants aren't reliable enough, so I'll keep an eye on them," Gu Chang'an said humbly and cautiously.

"What a good child." Xiao Bailing praised, but also felt sorry for her. "Take care of yourself. If Li'er bullies you, just come back and tell your mother, and I will deal with her."

"..." Shen Li blinked. If she remembered correctly, this was her mother.

"Thank you, Mother." Gu Chang'an said casually, "A-Li is very good. It is my blessing to marry A-Li."

Shen Li gritted her teeth. This "mother" came out too easily; she was really taking advantage of the situation.

There's a reason why Lord Gu was able to navigate the officialdom so successfully.

"Good boy." Xiao Bailing found Gu Chang'an more and more pleasing to the eye.

On the contrary, I don't think Shen Zizai is so good. Why can't he manage the accounts?

Shen Zizai looked at his daughter, and the two felt a sense of sympathy for each other, both wanting to pull Gu Chang'an away from Xiao Bailing.

Of course, they only dared to think about it, but they knew deep down who was in charge at home.

Among everyone, only Shen Yue was carefree. She ignored everything and skipped and hopped into the main hall, the red ribbon on her head bobbing with each jump, which was quite adorable.

Xiao Qi received the message and came out to greet him, dressed in a blue robe, his face beaming with joy.

Shen Li could tell at a glance that this was the state of being in love. The Lin family had agreed, and he was in high spirits because of this happy occasion.

The same was true for the old Duke Xiao Zhan. The old man was wearing a new apricot-yellow dress, and his eyes were full of smiles when he saw everyone arrive.

Shen Li stepped forward and affectionately called out to her grandfather, her heart filled with emotion. In her previous life, her grandfather and cousin were no longer with her. In this life, being able to spend the New Year together made her very happy.

There were many rituals on this day. In addition to the ancestral worship at the beginning, there were also a series of matters such as exorcising ghosts and praying for blessings. In the evening, Shen Yue dragged Gu Chang'an outside to play with firecrackers.

The reason it was Gu Chang'an was because neither Shen Li nor Xiao Qi wanted to play, and only Gu Chang'an patiently accompanied them.
