Reborn General's Concubine: The First Poisonous Concubine

41. Take back the right to be the head of the family 5

Xiao Jamyao shook his head, stood up, patted Shen Rui's shoulder and said goodbye. Shen Rui did not try to persuade him to stay anymore, and respectfully bid Xiao Jamyao farewell as he left the house.

Before Xiao Jingyao left the Shangshu Mansion, he stopped again and said quietly to Shen Rui: "Shen Shangshu is a pillar of the country, don't let me down!"

Shen Rui was stunned, watching Xiao Jingyao's sedan leave, still thinking about the intention of King Luoyang's words! He had always admired King Luoyang, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to invite King Luoyang to his residence, let alone persuade him. He stayed in Imperial Capital.

Today, the King of Luoyang witnessed the loan sharking incident of the steward of his Shangshu Mansion. He did not comment much on it. Instead, he comforted him with words, which made him feel grateful but also a little ashamed.

The King of Luoyang valued him so much, how could he let the King of Luoyang down?!

Shen Rui returned to his study full of thoughts, remembering the praise that King Luoyang had given Wei Zijin before, and ordered Wei Zijin and his second wife Lin Xueyao to come to his study.

Lin Xueyao was still reeling from the incident where Butler Liu was kicked out of the house. Now that she was suddenly summoned, she was inevitably shocked, for fear that Shen Rui would see something!

On the other hand, Wei Zijin, after successfully driving away Butler Liu, was not in a hurry to claim credit from Shen Rui. Now that he was called to the study by Shen Rui, he already understood a bit.

Sure enough, Shen Ruiyan explained his plan concisely and concisely: "If you hadn't found out about Butler Liu's private lending this time and reported it to the emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my current official position! There must be people in charge of things in the house. I will leave all the stewardship of the house to you, I believe you will not let me down..."

Wei Zijin smiled faintly, but did not show any joy at regaining the right to be the head of the family: "I will not let you down!"

Shen Rui nodded with satisfaction and said to Lin Xueyao next to Wei Zijin: "As for Xueyao, your part of the housekeeper's power should be returned to the eldest lady!"

His words were not suggestions, but orders. Lin Xueyao trembled and looked at Shen Rui in disbelief. However, Shen Rui's expression confirmed that she had heard correctly. She could only nod reluctantly and whispered: "I will obey my instructions!"

Although she said this, she still glanced at Wei Zijin with jealousy. If Wei Zijin hadn't found out about Butler Liu, how could he have the power of the steward?!

Wei Zijin turned a blind eye to her jealous gaze and said calmly: "If I have nothing else to do, I will resign..."

Shen Rui nodded. Seeing Wei Zijin leave, Lin Xueyao also planned to resign, but was stopped by Shen Rui.

Lin Xueyao felt happy, thinking that there was still room for change, and that the power of the head of the family would return to her hands. She hurriedly walked to Shen Rui, took the initiative to rub his shoulders, and asked aggrievedly: "Master, where am I? If you don't do it well, you will suddenly become dissatisfied with me?"

Shen Rui rubbed his eyebrows, waved away Lin Xueyao's hand on his shoulder, took a deep look at Lin Xueyao, and then said: "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning! At the beginning, it was you and Butler Liu who kept the account book We are in charge together, don’t you know about Butler Liu’s loan?”

Lin Xueyao was so frightened that she trembled and her face turned pale: "Master, Butler Liu did this without telling me, I really don't know..."

When she said this, a layer of fog had already appeared in her eyes, and her body was trembling all the time, which made her look a little pitiful.
