The Xia family's property is now all in the hands of Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia, and has not been handed over to Sun Jiaolan.
Although Sun Jiaolan is in charge of the middle feed, she has not yet been able to reach out to the Xia family's property. Obviously, after what happened to the Li family, Xia Zhihe is more willing to control all these in his own hands.
Because after so many years, he is really afraid of being controlled!
When the Li family took control of the Xia family's industry, they really held it tightly! Moreover, there is really a fixed amount of monthly silver issued to Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia every month. If there are more, you have to apply with Li and get her approval!
In most cases, Li will not approve it at all!
If Xia Zhihe hadn't occupied the Sun family's property in recent years and used the funds accumulated from the Sun family's property to build some of his own property, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the happy life he has now.
Whenever he thinks of this, Xia Zhihe only feels hatred and disgust for Mr. Li!
How could Mrs. Li respect him as her husband or as the head of the Xia family? I'm afraid it's just that for the stewards under you, right? !
How could Xia Zhihe swallow this breath?
Mrs. Xia was even more like this. She thought that her son had become a high official and she could finally become a master. But who would have thought that she would be pressed down by her own daughter-in-law, who could not even raise her head. Don't get up!
Now that they finally stood up and took charge, Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia naturally did not want to make the same mistakes again, so none of those properties were handed over to Sun Jiaolan.
However, neither mother nor son have the talent for business. Not only do they not have it, but they also have the habit of being meddlesome. They want to take charge of everything, and their ability to judge and employ people is really unsatisfactory.
In the past, the Sun family's property created a lot of value every year. All this money flowed into Xia Zhihe's pocket, and he used the money to run his own business.
Ordinarily, if such a large amount of money is invested, there should be some splashes, but this is not the case.
Most stores can barely make a meager profit, which is nothing compared to their size.
And there is a small part of them, like the predecessor of Lingshan Pavilion, which are not operating well enough to maintain a level of not losing money.
This shows how low the business abilities of Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia are, but they feel that they have no problem, and so do the managers they choose.
So much so that now, the Xia family's property has begun to encounter problems one after another, but the mother and son have no idea about it.
The stewards under them either felt that the problem was not serious and there was no need to tell their masters, or they felt that something was wrong and did not dare to speak out for fear of being scolded by their masters.
And just like this, Xia Zhihe, mother and son, were unaware that the Xia family's properties began to experience problems one after another, the radiation became wider and wider, and the problems became more and more serious.
But they didn't realize it and still happily enjoyed their life without Li's oppression and restraint.
Mrs. Xia began to walk out of her yard and participated in the Xia Mansion's internal affairs.
She was born in a brothel and didn't know how to manage a house, but none of that mattered, because all she wanted was to put on airs, establish her identity, and feel the satisfaction of being respected and looked up to by everyone.
Sun Jiaolan has obviously figured out Mrs. Xia's temperament, and everything goes according to her wishes, so now she has gained Mrs. Xia's trust.
At the same time, she also gained Xia Zhihe's trust and favor, because she arranged concubines for Xia Zhihe's house from time to time.
As long as Xia Zhihe likes it, she will definitely not hesitate and send her identity directly to Xia Zhihe's house. In Xia Zhihe's view, this is not comparable to Li's.
In just a few months, Xia Mansion became lively, surrounded by warblers and swallows, which was completely different from the past.
But Xia Zhihe and Mrs. Xia, who were fully expecting these concubines to bring children to the Xia Mansion, had no idea that these concubines brought into the Mansion by Sun Jiaolan would never be able to conceive a child.
Because these concubines were all given Juezi Tang by Sun Jiaolan!
And Sun Jiaolan is not afraid of Xia Zhihe's investigation at all, because she is extremely careful whenever she does this. If Xia Zhihe investigates, the final clue will only point to Li!
Sun Jiaolan would not let herself be caught. She even felt that it would be good to keep Li in the Xia Mansion. At least she could push all things to Li and keep herself clean.
Anyway, Mr. Li has now been completely labeled as a villain. Not only does he have evil thoughts, he also has a bad temper. No matter what he does, no one will doubt him. Isn't this just right?
Just when the Xia Mansion fell into the illusion of harmony and did not remain stable for long, something happened to the Xia Mansion again.
The weather in early August was like a furnace, and such weather was even more unbearable for pregnant women. Sun Jiaolan was nestled in her room, with an ice basin beside it to cool down, eating fresh and sweet fruits in her mouth, not wanting to move lazily. move.
Her life had been very pleasant recently. Just when she was in a good mood and thinking about letting Xia Zhihe accompany her for dinner in the evening to keep her relationship warm, a maid suddenly ran in in a hurry, with a look of worry on her face.
"Ma'am, it's not good!"
In private, Sun Jiaolan did not let the servants in her yard call her second wife, but only called her madam.
As for the reason, it was naturally the position she had been thinking about since before marrying into the Xia Mansion, the position she would seize sooner or later!
"What's the matter? You're in such a panic, do you still look like a big maid?" Sun Jiaolan's good mood was interrupted, her face was full of displeasure, she looked at the personal maid who had just entered the room and scolded her.
"I know my mistake." The maid hurriedly saluted, but still couldn't help but said hurriedly, "Madam, it's not good! Suddenly a pregnant woman came outside the house, saying that she was pregnant with the master's child, and wanted us to He's been taken into the house!"
The woman who is pregnant with the master's child...
Sun Jiaolan's face suddenly darkened, her face was dark and sullen, and she raised her voice in annoyance: "Again?! Not long after the last bookstore owner's daughter came to make trouble, here comes another one?!"
Sun Jiaolan was so angry that how long had it been? Another woman came to the door with a pregnant belly? What happened to Xia Zhihe? Are you so unable to control your lower body? !
Obviously, I have already given him so many concubines! Is the food eaten outside so delicious? Is it just more delicious than the ones in the house? !
Sun Jiaolan was really angry. Her usual gentleness was completely gone from her face, and she looked cold and scary.
The maid was so frightened by Sun Jiaolan's expression that she shrank back, but she didn't look surprised. She had obviously known Sun Jiaolan's true face for a long time, and she was not as gentle and harmless as she usually showed.
