Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 41
Xiao Jingyao shook his head, stood up and patted Shen Rui on the shoulder to say goodbye, Shen Rui didn't keep him anymore, and sent Xiao Jingyao off respectfully.

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

Shen Rui was taken aback, watching Xiao Jingyao's sedan chair leave, still thinking about the meaning of Luoyang King's words!He has always admired the King of Luoyang, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to invite the King of Luoyang to be a guest in his mansion, let alone persuade him to stay in the Imperial Capital.

However, Luoyang Wang witnessed the usury of the housekeeper of his Shangshu Mansion today, so he didn't comment much. Instead, he spoke to appease him, which made him feel grateful and ashamed at the same time.

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

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

Lin Xueyao was still in the midst of the fact that Butler Liu was kicked out of the mansion before, but now she was suddenly summoned, and she was shocked again, for fear that Shen Rui would see something!
On the other hand, Wei Zijin, after successfully driving away Steward Liu, was not in a hurry to ask Shen Rui for credit. Now that Shen Rui called him to the study, he already understood a little.

Sure enough, Shen Rui explained his plan succinctly: "This time, if you hadn't found out about Steward Liu's private lending and reported it to the emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my current position! There must be someone in charge in the mansion. I will give you all the housekeeping rights in the mansion, I believe you will not let me down..."

Wei Zijin smiled lightly, and did not show any joy at regaining the right to be the head of the family: "I will not let my master down!"

Shen Rui nodded in satisfaction, and said to Lin Xueyao who was beside Wei Zijin: "As for the part of Xueyao's housekeeping power, return it to Da Furen!"

His words were not suggestions, but orders. Lin Xueyao shook her body and looked at Shen Rui incredulously, but Shen Rui's expression confirmed that she heard correctly. She could only nod reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "I would like to obey my master's orders!"

Although she said so, she still gave Wei Zijin a jealous look. If Wei Zijin hadn't found out about Butler Liu, how could she have the right to be a butler? !
Wei Zijin turned a blind eye to her jealous gaze, and said calmly, "If you have nothing else to do, I will leave now..."

Shen Rui nodded, seeing Wei Zijin leave, Lin Xueyao also planned to leave, but Shen Rui stopped her.

Lin Xueyao was overjoyed, thinking that there was still room for things to turn around, and that the power of being the head of the family would return to her own hands, so she hurriedly walked to Shen Rui's side, stretched out her hands to rub his shoulders for him, and asked aggrievedly: "Master, where is this concubine?" If you didn't do well, let the master suddenly be dissatisfied with the concubine?"

Shen Rui rubbed between his brows, waved away Lin Xueyao's hand on his shoulder, took a deep look at Lin Xueyao, and said, "Don't think I don't know what your plan is! Back then, it was you and Steward Liu Together, don't you know about Butler Liu's lending?"

Lin Xueyao trembled in fright, her face turned pale: "Master Liu did this without telling me, I really don't know..."

When she said this, a thick layer of mist had formed in her eyes, and her body was trembling all the time, which made her feel a little pitiful.
