Chapter Thirty-Seven
rday!"The words were stuck in Consort Feng’s throat, and she despised Ye Qingran intensely."I’m afraid it won’t be possible today," Yun Qianyue shook her head."Why not Don't tell me you actually plan...Volumes of Laughter Chapter Thirty-Seven
After Yun Qianyue finished speaking, Cai蓮 and the other three people looked at her in disbelief.
"What's wrong Why are you all looking at me like that" Yun Qianyue asked Cai蓮, Zhao Mama, Ting Yu, and Ting Xue. The expressions on their faces were identical, as if they were staring at a monster, which made Yun Qianyue feel uneasy.
"Miss, are you really still drowsy from sleeping Should I call the doctor for you or have the Young Master come to check on you" Cai蓮 looked at Yun Qianyue with a worried and tense expression, her small face scrunched up.
"I'm not sleepy!" Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes. "Why are all of you staring at me like that"
"Miss, do you know how many people would kill for this account book and key It's said that after Feng Side Concubine was confined to the ancestral temple a few days ago, two concubines chased after His Royal Highness to the study. The王爺 drove them away and later sent Master Meng, the head steward, to deliver the account book and key to you. Since you instructed me not to call out to you even for matters of great importance, I didn't do so. How could you now send these back to the王爺" Cai蓮 disapprovingly looked at Li Yun; she thought that Miss must be still drowsy.
"That's right, Miss. The power as head of the household is a very good thing. His Royal Highness sent it over enthusiastically for you. How can you refuse it" Zhao Mama also disapproved and said so.
"Miss, please accept it! When the time comes, you will have control over the entire王府!" Tingshu and Tingxue said happily.
Yun Qianyue looked speechless at the four of them. This might be a good thing for others, but for her, it was just trouble. Who would give up a leisurely life to manage all these chaotic matters Then she wouldn't have to do anything else in the future; she'd only need to face the account books every day. She waved her hand and said, "You don't need to say anymore. Anyway, I don't want any of this. Cai Lian, please hurry up and send it to His Royal Highness."
Cai Lian stood still and asked, "Miss, why do you not want it"
"This is not a good thing at all, so naturally I don't want it. If I have to deal with these messy things every day, how can I possibly maintain my leisure in the future" Yun Qianyue sat down again and her appetite for the meal vanished. She picked up chopsticks but then put them down.
"I won’t go!" Cai Lian pouted.
"Go! Are you not listening to me Then from now on, you'll look at these account books and manage this key, is that alright" Yun Qianyue looked at Cai Lian. The little girl was only two days in, yet she knew how to resist already. Did she treat her too well
Cai Lian's small face turned pale as she shook her head immediately, "How could a servant like me manage the household Miss, please don't joke around."
"Then Aunt Zhao would be in charge of the household" Yun Qianyue glared at Cai Lian and then asked Aunt Zhao.
"Old servant doesn't even know a single character; how could I manage the household Please spare old servant!" Aunt Zhao immediately shook her head.
"Then you two can do it" Yun Qianyue looked at Tingyu and Tingsnow.
"This slave knows even less." The two immediately shook their heads in fear.
"Isn't that exactly what I thought I don't know many characters either, nor can I manage the household. Since you all can’t do it either, isn't this a hot potato What if something goes wrong and we don't send it back" Yun Qianyue looked at the four of them. She seemed to remember that Yun Xianghe had scolded her for not knowing any characters and being ignorant. Now she could make use of that.
The four of them instantly fell into a bad mood upon hearing this. They had all forgotten that Miss couldn't manage the household when they were happy about it earlier. Amongst the four, only Cai Lian knew a few characters but that was limited too; for a moment, they stared at each other with large eyes and sighed simultaneously in disappointment and helplessness.
"Miss, we can’t just send it back like this! This slave really doesn't want to give up. This is the authority of managing the household—can you not think of any other way" Cai Lian looked at Yun Qianyue with expectation.
Cloud Qianyue shot her a disdainful look and said irritably, "No!"
"Miss, it's not that I have an obsession with power; rather, I believe that if you take charge of the household in the future, we'll have a better life. We won't be shortchanged on our rations or provisions distributed by the mansion either. You've never cared about this matter, and these years, what little we receive is often less than other courtyards—either because of Lady Feng’s embezzlement or someone else's. Even the monthly wages for our servants are frequently cut back. With the Elder Prince's protection over us at Shanyue Courtyard, it could be considered fortunate. There are others in other courtyards who don't even have enough to eat."
"Is that so" Cloud Qianyue frowned.
"That is correct, Miss," Mother Zhao sighed.
Listen Rain and Listen Snow also nodded continuously.
Cloud Qianyue glanced again at the towering stack of account books. She felt inexplicably annoyed. If she were to take over, wouldn't her future good days be gone But if she didn’t accept it, upon seeing the four dejected faces, she rubbed her forehead and was extremely troubled—whether to accept or not.
Just as she was in a dilemma, a faint male voice sounded from outside, "Has my dear sister awakened"
When Yun Qianyue heard a familiar voice, she took her hand away from her forehead and looked outside. She saw an extremely young man walking into the courtyard. His posture was upright, his steps leisurely, wearing a light blue silk robe, with a handsome face showing a mild expression. A pair of phoenix-like eyes also appeared indifferent in color. After staring at him in confusion for a few seconds, she suddenly realized that this was her brother, the Young Master of Yun Wangfu, seemingly called Yun Muhuan.
"Miss, it's the Young Master who has come!" Cai Lian hurriedly pushed Yun Qianyue. "Should Miss go out to greet him"
Yun Qianyue stood still without moving. After all, she wasn't truly Yun Qianyue; she couldn't bring herself to approach an unfamiliar man. Shaking her head, she said, "No need, Brother has already come in."
Cai Lian nodded, and Zhao Mama signaled to Tingyu and Tingsnow with a glance. The two hurriedly went to the door to lift the curtain for Yun Muhuan. They respectfully said, "Young Master, please enter! Miss just woke up and is having her meal!"
Yun Muhuan slightly tilted his head, then stepped into the room. At once, he saw a chaotic mess of cups and plates on the table, while Yun Qianyue was standing in front of it, looking at him with clear and pure eyes like crystal snow. Although she looked drowsily fresh from sleep, she appeared clean and tidy overall. He briefly hesitated before calmly asking, "Father ordered me to come check if my sister has woken up yet If so, she should start managing the household accounts immediately!"
"I'm afraid Father will be disappointed, as I won't manage the household," Yun Qianyue shook her head. She felt that in this lifetime, she mustn't sacrifice herself for anyone without thinking twice. Compared to her own leisurely life, managing the household was truly a big hassle. She could only disappoint Cai Lian and these three people. At best, she would strive to secure more benefits for Qianyue Pavilion so they could live better days following her.
"Father is just worried that Sister won't manage the household, so he ordered me to teach you how to learn account books and handle accounts," Yun Muhuan said.
Cai Lian and the others were delighted at what they heard. However, as soon as a smile appeared on their brows, they heard Yun Qianyue immediately shake her head, saying, "No!"
"You don't want to learn" Yun Muhuan looked at Yun Qianyue in surprise. Being the household manager was something every woman dreamed of, right In recent years, all the women in this courtyard, whether they were mistresses, concubines, or misses, had been scrambling for it. The eldest miss had followed Concubine Feng to learn for several years.
"Yeah, I don't want to learn." Yun Qianyue shook her head firmly.
"Why don't you want to learn" Yun Muhuan put away his surprise and asked indifferently.
"If I don’t want to learn, then so be it. What's there to ask about" Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes, suddenly remembering something as she looked at Yun Muhuan with sparkling eyes, "Or you can teach me martial arts! If you teach me martial arts, I will definitely learn and study hard."
Yun Muhuan was taken aback again. He gazed into Yun Qianyue's clear water-like eyes, which were crystal clear like a mirror reflecting濃厚的興趣和期待，幾乎要把人吸進去。他移開視線，不再看她，淡淡道：“你的武功一直都是爺爺親授的，不需要我教你。但是這管家查賬的事父王交代你必須要學，所以你想不想都不行。”
這次輪到雲淺月愣了。靠！那王爺該不會是誠心不讓她過得好嗎？

Yun Muhuan was taken aback again. He gazed into Yun Qianyue's clear water-like eyes, which were crystal clear like a mirror reflecting intense interest and anticipation, almost as if they could draw him in. He shifted his gaze away from her, not looking at her anymore, and said indifferently: "Your martial arts have always been personally taught by Grandpa; I don't need to teach you. However, Father has instructed that you must learn the task of managing household accounts. Therefore, whether you want to or not is irrelevant."
This time it was Yun Qianyue's turn to be stunned. Darn! Does that王爺 really mean to make things difficult for here had already figured out the situation clearly long ago. Without saying anything, he also turned his gaze towards the door.Shortly after, a servant girl helped Cloud Xianghe lift up the curtain and w...
