Chapter 1251 already started preparing to exploit him?
The group listened to Lu Yuanyi's words with expressions of worry on their faces.
"Now we will take good care of my wife and nourish her body. She will be fine, so you don't need to worry."
Gongyang Ruoyu asked incredulously, "My lady seemed to be in good spirits when she came back, how could she suddenly faint?"
"The wife must have been holding on with all her might, wanting to put an end to everything, and she just kept going. Now that she's back at the manor, she can't hold on any longer and has fainted."
Hearing Lu Yuanyi's words, everyone felt downcast. As their husbands, they had failed to resolve the situation and had even caused her to run around and protect them; it was their fault.
"Don't overthink it. That's just how my wife is. She's not the kind of person who would just sit around doing nothing when something happens to us. She's such a good wife. If we feel guilty and down, she'll worry about us again," Lu Yuanyi comforted them.
"Lord Lu, don't worry, we are worried, but we won't show it in front of the mistress," Sun Yibai said.
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and Lu Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Let my wife sleep for a while. I'll go and stew some nourishing medicinal food and come back later for her to take when she wakes up."
"You all shouldn't all stay here to guard. Tomorrow morning, someone will need to come and take over from the three of them to serve the wife. Two of you go and look after Haoxuan. After the wife wakes up, it would be best if Haoxuan could come over so she can see him, so she won't worry."
"Also, the truth about Haoxuan's illness must not be told to the wife at this critical juncture. She cannot afford to worry about it anymore."
The people outside nodded in agreement when they heard Lu Yuanyi's instructions.
“Lu Cejun, I’ll go to the kitchen with you and help you,” Pu An said, following behind Lu Yuanyi.
The others watching the two leave all sighed.
Huan Yanxi sighed and began to make arrangements: "Minghe, go back and wash up first, and rest for a while. Come back early tomorrow morning. Your wife has already comforted you in the carriage. Don't feel guilty tomorrow."
"My wife should focus on recovering and not cause her any more trouble..."
"Lord Huan, I know. I won't let my wife worry about me anymore. Thank you for saving me this time. I accept this kindness. In the future, if there is anything..."
“Minghe, we’re family, no need for thanks,” Huan Yanxi interrupted him.
"To Lord Huan, you not only saved me this time, but also my maternal family, the Xu family. I thank you both out of both gratitude and obligation. I will be more careful in the future and will not let such a situation happen again." Xu Minghe finished speaking, knelt down, and kowtowed to everyone.
Baili Jihua, who was closest to him, quickly pulled him up.
"Minghe, how can we accept such a great courtesy from you? Get up quickly."
"This incident is not your fault. Even if it weren't for your shopkeeper, there would have been other shopkeepers. If they wanted to harm us, they would have found an opportunity. We should be more careful in the future."
“Jihua is right. It seems we need to reorganize the staff in our shop.” Pei Yuqi said, then pondered for a moment and said, “Starting tomorrow, we will begin a unified audit of the accounts in our shop. Wangchen and Jihua, you two will come with me.”
“Yes, Consort Pei,” Tian Wangchen and Baili Jihua said.
“Indeed, checking the accounts is the fastest way. The people we have, their monthly salary, and their spending are all fixed, but we have quite a few shops. Yuqi, you're going to have to put in a lot of effort,” Huan Yanxi said.
"It's not terrible to go through a lot of trouble, but we must prevent this from happening again," Tian Wangchen and Baili Jihua said at the same time.
Pei Yuqi smiled slightly when she heard the two of them speak without hesitation. They had been so lazy before, but now they were willing to do anything for their mistress.
"My lord will likely be staying by my side for the time being, so let Zixu and Gongyang manage all the affairs of the manor!"
“Consort Pei, Feng Qi has been in charge of the affairs of the manor these past two days. We also have to deal with the affairs of the noble families outside. Why don’t we let him take over for now?” Gongyang Ruoyu said softly.
"Is he in charge?"
"Yes, and he manages it very well. He handles everything with ease these past two days, from the invitations sent by various mansions, to the comings and goings of people, to the affairs of the mansion, the arrangements for the children, and the problems that arise in the shops outside, as well as the requests for instructions. There is not a single mistake he has made."
Xu Minghe and the others, who didn't want to get involved or couldn't manage it, immediately fell silent.
“….”
Just because Feng Qi's younger brother is so capable... the wife must marry this boy... they really like someone so capable.
At that moment, Feng Qi, dressed in red, walked in through the courtyard gate and quickly approached them upon seeing them gathered around.
"Sister Yue fainted? How is she now? Has she woken up?"
“Brother Qi, the mistress's fainting is due to exhaustion and weakness. Yuan Yi has checked on her and she's fine,” Huan Yanxi explained.
"I have a hundred-year-old ginseng and some other nourishing herbs. I'll have them delivered. Since your body is weak, you should focus on gentle tonification. Have you prepared any medicinal soups or decoctions?"
"Yuan Yi and Pu An have already gone to make preparations."
"Second Brother, go to the kitchen and see. Medicinal cuisine is your specialty. If you need any medicinal herbs, ask Third Brother."
"Good master."
"Brother Yanxi, I've been in charge of things at the manor these past two days. Now that you're all here, what's the matter..."
“Brother Qi…we have already identified the powerful families behind the harm done to our wife. There is a lot of cleanup work to be done. We also need to use the power of our maternal clan to eradicate those families. So you will take charge of things for now,” Huan Yanxi said immediately.
Upon hearing Huan Yanxi's words, Feng Qi's vision blurred: "I...I haven't married Sister Yue yet, and besides, I'm still young, so..."
“You are the wife and we have agreed that you will marry her in two years. You are young, but our Su family values ability. His Highness and the others need to protect the wife, so we are too busy to help. It is just right for Brother Qi to take care of her.”
"They also provided us with a lot of convenience."
"Yes, little Qi." Everyone else nodded silently in agreement, without a single objection, all in unison.
Feng Qi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at them. He hadn't even stepped inside yet! And they were already trying to exploit him? Wasn't that a bit too early?
The immortal Feng Qi continued, "Brothers...I think..."
"Since no one has any objections, it's settled then. These days, all the affairs of the manor, big and small, will be handled by Brother Qi."
"No... Brother Yanxi... I haven't... agreed yet..."
Huan Yanxi seemed not to hear Feng Qi's voice and continued to give instructions: "Someone in the manor is in charge. Zixu, Yunsheng, and Chengyan, the three of you will be responsible for the security of the manor. We will close the manor gates. There will definitely be a lot of people trying to find out information. You will guard the gates well."
Tian Yunsheng, Lin Zixu, and Cheng Yan immediately nodded.
"Alright, that's enough for now! We'll arrange for everyone to take turns serving the mistress based on their availability. You may all leave now!" Huan Yanxi said and quickly left.
