Chapter 668: Whether you are a human or a ghost, you can live a good life with me
Shen Wantang looked at the ordinary box and felt heavy in his heart.
He trusted her and immediately handed over all his family assets to her.
She leaned her head on his shoulder and asked softly, "Give it all to me, aren't you afraid that I'll squander it all? What if I'm not good at management, all your years of accumulation will be wasted."
Gu Qianhan only felt the warmth and softness of the beautiful girl in his arms, his heart was filled with her, and he thought that it would be nice if time could stop at this moment.
His voice was gentle. "If you really can squander all these properties, it's no big deal. I can just make more money. But from what I know about you, you should have made more than you lost."
Shen Wantang deliberately said, "That's not necessarily true. I've lived three lifetimes, but I'm very good at spending money. Now I'm not losing money to anyone but myself."
Gu Qianhan chuckled: "My previous life was too short. I don't know how well you managed the Ning Palace. After all, the Ning Palace is already rich. Even if you made a lot of money for the Ning Palace, outsiders wouldn't be able to see it."
"But our previous life was very long. I know very well that you managed the Liao family to become a wealthy and respectable family. Liao Youhe's promotion to a high position is your credit. The Liao family's assets spread all over the country is also your credit. Even the large house that the Liao family bought in Tianxingfang in the capital is your credit."
Tianxingfang is where the dignitaries in the capital live, and Lord Liu's residence is located in Tianxingfang.
Because it is close to the imperial palace and has a great view, it is one of the best locations in the capital, and the price of the house is naturally unaffordable for ordinary people.
But Liao Youhe bought it.
Moreover, when Liao Youhe bought it, he did not hide the fact that it was his wife who had saved up some money through good management.
After all, with his salary, he couldn't afford to buy a house in Tianxingfang even if he worked for a few more decades. If he didn't say that it was the money earned by his wife, others would think that he had embezzled a large amount of money - even if he said that it was the money earned by his wife, it still aroused the suspicion of many people.
No one believed that a woman like Shen Wantang could be so capable and good at business.
But Gu Qianhan believed it, because he knew Liao Youhe and knew too well how capable Liao Youhe was. With his intelligence, he probably couldn't even understand what embezzlement meant.
But Liao Youhe has one biggest advantage - he knows that he is not good enough, so he will never try to show off. He knows that Shen Wantang is very good, so he listens to her and never questions her.
To the extent that at that time, there was no woman in the capital who did not envy Shen Wantang. Everyone said that she had married a good husband, who was loyal to her and treated her words as imperial decrees.
No, it is more effective than an imperial edict. After all, Liao Youhe once disobeyed the imperial edict and refused to divorce his wife Princess Shang Qi.
Thinking of this, Gu Qianhan felt a little sour in her heart. How could anyone, whether human or ghost, live a good life with Shen Wantang? She could even call him husband!
He couldn't help but lift Shen Wantang's chin: "Atang, call me husband and let me hear it."
Shen Wantang looked at him with a mixture of anger and amusement, not understanding why he changed the subject so quickly: "Didn't I yell at you last night?"
"I haven't called yet today."
Shen Wantang: “…”
Do we have to shout this every day?
It wasn't that she didn't want to scream, but his sudden action made her a little embarrassed to speak.
Gu Qianhan watched her fair face getting redder and redder, knowing full well that she was a little embarrassed because of what he had done to her.
Is she so shy when asked to call him husband?
It seems that she didn't call him that much in her previous life or the life before that, otherwise she would have been used to it.
The sourness in Gu Qianhan's heart dissipated for the most part. He lowered his head and kissed Shen Wantang's bright and tempting lips.
Originally, he just wanted to taste it briefly, but he didn't expect her scent to be too sweet. He soon stopped restraining himself and attacked her wantonly.
When he stopped, she looked like she was drunk, with flushed cheeks and a layer of mist in her beautiful eyes. She was looking at him with trembling eyelashes.
Gu Qianhan couldn't help but pecked her again: "Atang, if I didn't have such strong self-control, we would be on the couch right now if you looked at me like that."
Shen Wantang clenched his fist and hit him.
Gu Qianhan just thought she was tickling him and didn't care.
Suddenly, auspicious voice sounded outside the study: "Sir, Hei Yao wants to see you. He said it's urgent."
Gu Qianhan paused: "Let him wait."
Shen Wantang pushed him away: "Isn't it urgent? Go quickly, serious matters are more important."
His affairs are all related to the fate of the entire Duke's Mansion. Even her life is in his hands now!
Gu Qianhan lowered his head and looked at her: "Atang, accompanying you is also a serious matter."
Shen Wantang blinked: "I don't need your company."
Gu Qianhan smiled bitterly: "Well, indeed, I am the one who needs company."
He never thought that there would be a day when he would be so clingy. Holding her, he was reluctant to let go. She seemed to be able to come and go freely, and the blush on her face quickly disappeared.
He hugged her for a moment longer, then bent down and kissed her: "Then I'll go see what's going on."
"Go!"
After Gu Qianhan left, Shen Wantang tidied her clothes, then went to the main hall and called Nanny Yan.
On the first day as the second young master’s wife, it is natural to get to know people.
Of course, Shen Wantang actually knew most of the people in the Duke's Mansion, but she still had to go through the motions. After all, she knew them, but they didn't know her.
Fortunately, there were not many servants in Gu Qianhan's yard. Apart from Jixiang, there were only two errand runners and two people who did the rough work, all of whom were servants.
In addition to them, Shen Wantang also met the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion and the people from the small kitchen of their Qionghua Courtyard.
There weren't many people, so Shen Wantang gave rewards to each of them and then told them to disperse.
This time she finally didn't have to manage the household anymore, and there were obviously much less things to do than in the previous two lives.
Shen Wantang suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to marry the second son who did not inherit the title, so that she could have some free time.
In her previous life, she was in charge of Prince Ning's Mansion, which took a lot of effort and energy. This was under the premise that her parents-in-law were easy to talk to and sided with her. Whenever her parents-in-law found fault, the daughter-in-law would be skinned alive.
The Duke's Mansion is a wealthy and powerful place. The Duke of Zhenguo has many disciples, and Madam Gu also has a wide circle of friends. There are seven or eight children in the family, and a lot of relatives living with them. It is much more complicated to manage than the Prince of Ning's Mansion!
Shen Wantang thought he was quite capable, but he felt overwhelmed when he thought about managing so many people and so many things.
But fortunately, she is the second son's wife, not the eldest son's wife. Now the Duke's Mansion is managed by the eldest young lady Meng Yunlan, and she is in charge of everything inside and outside.
Shen Wantang felt relaxed and asked Nanny Yan to take some silver and ask the kitchen to make some exquisite snacks.
After eating snacks, Gu Qianhan did not come back, and Shen Wantang did not care about him. She listened to the gossip that Qin Xin had heard recently, paid attention to the situation outside, and practiced calligraphy by the way - she now had a room full of Gu Qianhan's handwriting to imitate, which was very convenient.
