Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 62: Too Clever, Easy to Mess Things Up

"Oh?"

Guan Yunmu looked up and saw a box in her hands, then asked, "What is it?"

Jinyun repeated what Shang Ruyi had just said. Guan Yunmu put down the book in her hand, opened the box for a glance, and showed a trace of a solemn expression, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing.

Jinyun quickly helped her to sit down, gently patting her back to ease her breath and brought her a cup of hot tea.

Guan Yunmu coughed for a while, her face still pale, but her eyes were much brighter. Finally catching her breath, she said in a low voice, "This box of things, is it given only to me?" ƒгeewebnovёl_com

"No."

"Who else was it given to?"

"The Young Madam brought several boxes, and as soon as she returned, she gave one to that Han Yuhui at the side gate."

"Why did Han Yuhui go to the side gate?"

Jinyun leaned in and whispered, "It’s the matter about repairing the Luoyang family house that the Duke discussed with the madam a few days ago. Han Yuhui specifically gave five hundred taels of silver to the steward over there, seemingly also with the account book."

At this, she couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "Usually she sends servants to her room to reply, but today she’s diligent enough to bring the account book to the side gate to hand over the money."

"..."

Guan Yunmu narrowed her eyes slightly, lost in thought without speaking.

Seeing that she didn’t intend to use the fruits, Jinyun put the lid back onto the box and set it aside, then returned to say, "By the way, Han Yuhui also said she wants the Young Madam to look at the account book."

"Look at the account book?"

Guan Yunmu’s expression froze: "Did Shang Ruyi see it?"

Jinyun laughed, "The Young Madam didn’t look."

"Why didn’t she look?"

"Said she couldn’t understand it."

"Couldn’t understand it..."

Hearing this, Guan Yunmu seemed relieved and then a fleeting smile rose on her face, "Shang Ruohong’s daughter, Shen Shiyan’s niece, actually doesn’t understand the account book? Did Han Yuhui actually believe that?"

Jinyun laughed, "Indeed. Yesterday, the Young Madam declined the steward’s matters, and today she went to the medical clinic, came back with some medicine, saying her hand injury needs time to heal. Han Yuhui couldn’t really say much more."

"Oh..."

Guan Yunmu’s eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something.

After a while, she asked again, "Then, what else did they say?"

Jinyun said, "They didn’t say anything else, the Young Madam gave her the box of fruits and left."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunmu added, "Didn’t you say before at the other residence, Han Yuhui said some unpleasant things in front of her?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then why did she still give things to Han Yuhui?"

"I also found it strange," Jinyun said softly, "If this Young Madam isn’t too naive, she’s—"

"What is she?"

Jinyun thought for a moment, then whispered, "Very clever."

Guan Yunmu was silent for a moment before saying, "Married into our family, being too clever won’t do. Being overly clever can easily cause trouble."

Jinyun recalled the restrained yet calm demeanor of Shang Ruyi when she didn’t prepare a meeting gift for her mother-in-law earlier, and said, "I actually think this Young Madam seems fine."

Guan Yunmu gave her a surprised look, neither smiling nor unsmiling, "You are even complimenting someone."

Jinyun chuckled, "I am thinking about the madam too. If this daughter-in-law is worry-free, it will benefit the madam and the young master."

"..."

Guan Yunmu remained silent.

After a long while, she finally sighed and said, "But what does it matter, in Ye’er’s heart—"
