Li Xiao looked up at his wife.
“That kid is seventeen.” He said. “Older than you.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
“So?” She didn’t understand what Li Xiao meant.
Li Xiao then looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.
“Nothing.” He continued.
Forget it, she could call him whatever she wanted.
Lin Xiaoyue was puzzled. Just as she was about to continue asking, she heard Li Xiao speak again.
“The old man who taught Fan Teng was my master.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
“Your master? Master Wuji?” She immediately asked.
Li Xiao told her that he was a disciple of Master Wuji and he learnt most of his skills from him.
Ever since he left the Li Family, he had cut off contact with Master Wuji and never saw him again.
It was only after returning to the Great General’s Mansion that Li Xiao found out about his identity.
Master Wuji, who was proficient in both literature and geography, was actually the Imperial Advisor of the Yan Kingdom.
Many years ago, he left the Imperial Palace.
Unfortunately, Li Xiao couldn’t find Master Wuji after that.
“Yes, he came to the Zhou Manor seven years ago.” If what Fan Ming said was true, then his master must have come to look for someone.
He was looking for his daughter.
With his personality, how could he have a family?
Perhaps. After all, before he met his wife, he also felt that he would not get married. But wasn’t it done now?
Lin Xiaoyue recalled what Fan Ming said at the Zhou Manor.
“I wonder if he has found his daughter. However, now that we know that he might have gone to the south, why don’t we ask Young Master Liang to help us find out?”
“If we find him, we can bring him back.”
Apart from Consort Shu and Li Xiao, everyone from the Nangong Clan was gone.
Master Wuji was also a relative of Li Xiao. If he was willing to live in seclusion in the village, she would naturally welcome him.
Li Xiao paused. When he looked up at Lin Xiaoyue, his eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Yue’er, thank you.”
“Thank me for what? We are family.”
Lin Xiaoyue moved her feet.
“Continue, don’t stop.”
“Alright.” Li Xiao smiled dotingly and continued to wash his wife’s feet.
After washing her feet, he went to get some water.
After that, he returned to his room and asked her to go for dinner.
After dinner, they rested in the courtyard for a while. Lin Xiaoyue asked Zhao Shanshan to talk to Zhao Fu.
“Tomorrow, get Zhao Kang to go to Third Master Zhou’s residence and ask him to hire four accountants.”
“If they are willing to sign a contract, then they can bring their family along. It’s urgent, so we need to hire them in half a month’s time.” Lin Xiaoyue added.
“Yes.” Zhao Fu was a little confused, but he nodded.
Wasn’t it still too early?
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhao Fu and explained, “after we hired the people, arrange for three of them to go to the manor to manage the accounts. The remaining one will stay in the main residence to manage the accounts of the workshop.”
Zhao Fu understood and quickly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again.
“Yes.”
“Hmm.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
He also told Zhao Fu about his plans for the manor.
“In the future, those in the manor will communicate more frequently with those in the main residence. In the future, you don’t have to stop the heads of the manor. If they come , just bring them to me.”
“Yes.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and took out a stack of silver notes from her pocket.
“This is a total of 3,000 taels of silver. Tomorrow, let Zhao Kang or Zhao Qiang go with you to the three manors and deliver the silver notes to the three heads. Give each of them 1,000 taels.”
“Tell them that 1’11 send the rest of the money after the accountant arrives.”
“In addition, tell them that they can make their own arrangements once they get the money. However, the accounts had to be recorded well. When the accountant arrives, the expenses had to be reported truthfully to the accountant.”
“Remind them to do their job well. 1 don’t tolerate people who play tricks here.”
Zhao Fu’s expression tightened.
“Yes.” Only then did he step forward and take the money from Lin Xiaoyue’s hands.
Lin Xiaoyue was about to ask Zhao Fu to leave after giving him instructions.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
He looked at Zhao Fu.
“Have you helped Fan Teng settle down?” She asked.
After all, that kid was her husband’s assistant. She should be paying attention to him.
Zhao Fu was stunned.
He recalled how Fan Teng had wolfed down his food in the kitchen just now.
And the way he looked at his daughter.
His heart sank.
Isn’t that kid the young master’s assistant? Does the Miss also like him?
“Yes.” Zhao Fu replied coldly..
