What Grandma Wang said was absolutely correct. Even if she didn't say it, Qiao Yuyan knew it.
These people, except Nanny Shen, were sent here by Mrs. Wen.
Even Xing'er and Naier didn't know who was standing behind them. Didn't Qiao Yuyan just come to the Wen family? She was already familiar with these methods.
The disputes in this inner house boil down to two words - interests.
She used this incident today to clearly convey her attitude.
She has no interest in the Wen family's belongings, so there is no need to ask people to come and spy on her.
At the same time, she is not a soft persimmon, and don't think about getting anything from her. She has the confidence to turn her back.
If she was really that kind of new daughter-in-law in her previous life, she would probably have wronged her own people and entertained these people from her husband's family, but accidentally got her involved.
"Mommy, the Wen family has a great business, but at the same time it has a lot of good and bad. Now that the population is increasing, all the public expenses are piled up there! Can we still live here for the rest of our lives?"
After hearing this, Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but lower her eyes to think about Qiao Yuyan's words.
"Although the old lady is still strong now, her age is here. When the old lady turns 100 years old, the separation of the Wen family will be inevitable."
She smiled and patted Grandma Wang's hand, "Sooner or later we have to live our own lives, why bother getting involved with the people here? Mr. Six has never had a meal at his house before, so why should we? Do we really want to be indistinguishable from them?"
While talking, Grandma Wang had already figured it out and immediately smiled, "It's my wife who has thought it all. I'm just old and confused. I only thought that my wife had just arrived, so I wouldn't leave a bad impression and let people gossip behind my back. That's it." , it would be better to keep some distance from the beginning."
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "That's exactly what I said. Anyway, if we live together for a day, we will do our duty. Besides, it's not like I don't have money."
Pinlan walked in just in time, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Madam is not only rich, she just had the words 'I am rich' carved on her forehead. In my opinion, not only is Madam not rich anymore, The reputation of being easy to get along with will spread, and I’m afraid I’ll have to add the phrase “rich man of earth”!”
Qiao Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't I show off my dowry the day before we got married? Don't they know how much I have? I'm just telling the truth."
Because of the reassignment of tasks, the yard was quite busy for a while.
When Wen Tingyuan came back, he saw many boxes and cages in the yard. Thinking of what Qiao Yuyan said that morning, he guessed what was going on.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the boy reporting to him, "My wife asked me twice this afternoon, maybe there is something important."
So after he came back, he didn't bother to change his clothes first and went straight into the main room.
Qiao Yuyan was startled when she saw the dusty appearance on his clothes, "I said you were going to eat this morning. Where did you go to eat? Why are you so dirty?"
Wen Tingyuan looked at her expression and saw nothing unusual, so he didn't ask anything else. He only said that he was invited by a friend to go horse racing in the afternoon.
Qiao Yuyan didn't ask any more questions and asked someone to fetch water to the clean room. Then she went to the closet to find clothes for him.
Seeing that she was only busy coloring his clothes, Wen Tingyuan couldn't help but ask, "This afternoon..."
Before she finished her sentence, she saw a maid with almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks walking in, "Madam, the water has been put away."
Qiao Yuyan took one look at the chosen outfit and felt quite satisfied, so she took it over. When she saw Wen Tingyuan's eyes falling on Xing'er, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Wen Tingyuan noticed it immediately, turned to Qiao Yuyan, and signaled with his eyes.
Qiao Yuyan asked Xing'er to go down first, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"I know all the maids around you, where did this one come from?"
Hearing his question, Qiao Yuyan felt a little relaxed in her heart, "It's from my father-in-law! She looks very smart, so I gave her a first-class example."
As he said that, he saw Wen Tingyuan frown slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just use your own people in your own room. Why let people from outside come in? Who knows what's going on behind the scenes."
Qiao Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Of the four maids, there will always be one more."
"Then go buy one and let one of your second-class ones come up."
Qiao Yuyan didn't expect that he would be so repulsive, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you... dislike her so much?"
Wen Tingyuan pondered for a moment before nodding, "I really don't like it. If you feel it's hard to say goodbye, then I'll tell you and I'll find you some more reliable ones."
He clearly meant what he said, and Qiao Yuyan's worries disappeared without a trace, "Forget it, I won't let them touch important things. You, a man, can take care of all this.
What am I still doing in Tao Ranxuan?"
Wen Tingyuan obviously still didn't agree, but he couldn't interfere any more with what Qiao Yuyan had already decided, so he finally warned her, "Don't let them enter your house, just take care of what's going on outside."
When Grandma Wang heard this at the door, she immediately beamed, greeted Pinlan, and happily went to make Qiao Yuyan a supper.
After dinner, Qiao Yuyan saw that he had no intention of reading, so she couldn't help but ask: "Are you too tired from the horse racing in the afternoon? Otherwise, let's go to bed early!"
Wen Tingyuan sat opposite her and watched her sorting out the dowry list.
Under the light, the woman's eyebrows seemed to have been carefully traced, making them appear more clear and moving. The white fingers turned into a light honey color due to the color of the light, and they traced across the paper, gently and soothingly.
After hearing her words, Wen Tingyuan remembered, "I heard that you came to see me twice in the afternoon. What's the matter? Has it been resolved?"
He had completely forgotten about Qiao Yuyan. In fact, she only thought of him because of a dream.
Now that I have just woken up, how can I talk to him about this, "Seeing that you haven't come back, I'm afraid that you are drunk and taken to a place where people are waiting for fireworks.
If something disgraceful happens again, I will have to deal with the consequences for you later! That's why I asked a few questions."
Her words were clearly meant as a joke, and Wen Tingyuan found it funny. He didn't know where he heard such words from a young girl.
He didn't answer the question, asked her to wait, turned around and went out, and after a while he fetched a small box, "Here's this for you."
Qiao Yuyan's eyes fell on the box, but she didn't reach out to pick it up, "What is it?"
Wen Tingyuan placed it directly on the table in front of her, "Wouldn't you know if you opened it and took a look?"
