The next day, Wei Changying got up a little earlier intentionally and waited for a moment at the main room before she was summoned into the room. Madam Su was very satisfied with her rectified attitude, so she kindly waived her greeting and said, "You came too early today. You arrived here before I have tidied up everything."

Wei Changying said with a smile: "I am very ashamed of getting up late and asking Mother to wait for me yesterday. Therefore, I think that if I come earlier today, I may be able to go in and serve Mother to freshen up and atone for my sins! It's just that I am too stupid to recommend myself to do this. Thus, I dare not reveal my thoughts until Mother has tidied up now."

Madam Su laughed when she heard this and said, "You wanted to come in but you didn't say anything. Weren't you waiting on the porch in vain?" Because she saw that Wei Changying had brought some strong servants behind her who seemed to be carrying the box cages, she was surprised, "What do you bring?"

"It is the account books that the sisters-in-law gave me last time! I've sorted all of them out last night, so I brought them here to compare with sisters-in-law's account books. I also want to ask Mother to check them out, so that I would not be too stupid to know if I had made any mistake!" Wei Changying said respectfully.

Madam Su was surprised and said, "There are so many account books, yet you have sorted them out alone?"

"I don't dare to hide it from Mother. I definitely can't figure it out alone. It was my Grannies who helped me." Wei Changying specially mentioned Mrs. Wan. "Granny Wan has been helping me everywhere since I married into the family. I really don't know where I got this kind of good fortune that I get to live with such a good elder like Mother and have such a good helper like Granny Wan."

"It is true that Mrs. Wan is very honest and sincere." Madam Su nodded and said, "Bring me the account books and let me take a look at them."

Although Madam Su has handed over the management of the house to her daughter-in-law since Mrs. Liu entered the door, Madam Su always has an account in her mind of the expenses and incomes. Therefore, she was not afraid to fail to see whether the account books handed in by Wei Changying were true or false.

Wei Changying quickly asked servants to open the first cage, took out the first account book on the top, and handed it to Madam Su.

Madam Su took it, looked at it for a moment, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Bring me the third account book from the fourth box in the reciprocal order."

Wei Changying knew that this was a spot check and brought the account book to her according to her words. After Madam Su looked at it again, her face softened a little. Then, she casually pointed to a few more books to check on them. Seeing that each of the books she had checked was well organized and clearly wrote and everything was listed in detail and easy to calculate, she was assured that they were indeed properly sorted out and that it was not the case that only the two of them on the top were organized in order to be perfunctory. Holding the last one of the spot-checked account books, she smiled and said, "Good girl, it must be very laborious for you these days that you can sort them out so quickly."

"Mother, you are flattering me! How can I be praised by Mother as being laborious? " When Wei Changying was trying to be humble, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu came together from outside. Seeing that today was opposite to yesterday that Wei Changying was the first to arrive, the account books in the hall were spread around, and the box cages were carried over and opened, they knew that Wei Changying and Madam Su had obviously been talking for more than a while. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu's faces were ugly. But when Madam Su looked towards them, they busied covering them and admitted their errors together for they arrived late.

Madam Su was not an unreasonable mother-in-law, and she faintly said: "Today Changying came early, but you also arrived a little ahead of time."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Even so, the third sister-in-law is the youngest, but she is the first to greet Mother. We, as the elder sisters-in-law, are left behind. We feel ashamed towards Mother."

Mrs. Duanmu also echoed with Mrs. Liu. The meaning of their words was nothing more than inciting Madam Su to think that Wei Changying had deliberately surpassed the two elder sisters-in-law.

Wei Changying said with a faint smile, "Two sisters-in-law do not know. I am glad that the account books that you gave to me were sorted out yesterday. And because I was late yesterday, I came early today. Therefore, I came early today not only to ask Mother for advice but also to apologize."

"What?" Mrs. Liu and Mr. Duanmu were shocked to hear this and asked subconsciously, "You have sorted out all of them?"

Wei Changying smiled and nodded, but Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu's faces were not very good-looking. They distributed those account books to Wei Changying as the stalling tactics so that she could not have spare time to seize power but to spend her time on some old account books. Originally, they thought that these account books would cost Wei Changying at least a year or so to sort them out. Because she was young, even if she had learned some accounting skills before getting married, she could not be as good at accounting as the accountants so that she would be stumbled when sorting the account books alone.

Even if Wei Changying asked the people around her to help, and the ordinary literate servants would do the math one by one, it would not be possible for the master and servants to be able to finish everything in a few months. In order to prevent Wei Changying from asking the accountant who accompanied her into the family to help, when they gave Wei Changying the account books, they especially put in several account books that should not be spread outside and used this as an excuse to tell Wei Changying not to let outsiders read the account books. Otherwise, the responsibility for the leakage of the news would be entirely borne by Wei Changying.

These days they noticed that Wei Changying didn't summon the accountants, who accompanied her to marry into the family, into the Jintong courtyard. As for the entry and exit of other servants such as Mrs. Huang, they thought that Wei Changying had not been so stupid to give the account books to Mrs. Huang to show it to others from outside the family.

They originally thought that this would stall Wei Changying for some days, yet they didn't expect that she finished them all in such a short period of time.

Thinking that it was only yesterday that they used Wei Changying's late arrival to make Madam Su think that the third daughter-in-law was young and incompetent so that she could not bear the responsibility of housekeeper. However, today, Wei Changying gave them a heavy slap in the face, proving her ability to her mother-in-law. This meant that either Wei Changying was extremely proficient in accounting, or there were such professionals in her dowry.

No matter which result would take place, it was not a good thing for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu.

But now it has happened. When Madam Su smiled and looked at them, the two sisters-in-law restrained their anger and disappointment, and both laughed and praised Wei Changying. Wei Changying took advantage of a favorable situation and asked, "Now that the account books have been sorted out, I don't know what else I can do for the two sisters-in-law? I've been watching my two sisters-in-law busy all day. I'm the youngest, but I always sit idle and enjoy the fruits of your work. I'm really ashamed."

Although Madam Su said nothing after hearing this sentence, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu could not rest assured: before, Madam Su told them to give some work to the younger sister-in-law, but neither of the two sisters-in-law wanted Wei Changying to seize the power. Therefore, they used the order from Madam Su which asked Wei Changying to consult with her two sisters-in-law, sent her a pile of old account books, and asked her to sort them all out. At that time, both of them said, "For families like us, we don't know how many things there are at the end of the day! Third sister-in-law, you just started to take care of things. We don't know how to tell you everything from the beginning. Why don't you look at the account books first and sort them out? You will almost know what's going on in this family after you finish this!"

At that time, Wei Changying also frowned and said, "Why do you still have to look at the old account books of so many years ago?" Mrs. Liu said with a fake smile: "I heard that the third sister-in-law was spoiled by Old Madam at home, so it can be expected that you didn't need to worry about anything at that time. The third sister-in-law does not know, if we do not look at the old account books, how can we know whether the new account books which are made by following the old accounts are correct? Is this right, the third sister-in-law?"

At that moment, Mrs. Duanmu also said with an emotionless tone, "If the third sister-in-law finds it troublesome, then we dare not tire you. Shall we think of something more leisurely for the third sister-in-law to do?"

Wei Changying knew that if she didn't agree, she would be said to be too scared to handle heavy tasks, so she had no choice but to agree to take this matter...

They originally planned that this measure could delay the time for Wei Changying to officially handle the things in the family, yet they didn’t expect that Wei Changying really had the ability to finish sorting out the account books so quickly. At this time, both Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu felt very uncomfortable, but after reading several account books, they were speechless and said, "The third sister-in-law is actually very capable."

"The third sister-in-law is very capable, and we cannot compare with her."

Wei Changying had to be self-effacing again. After this, because Madam Su had been drinking tea, and although she did not speak for her third daughter-in-law, she did not stop her from asking what errands they would give her next.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu dared not be perfunctory with trifles such as sorting out old accounts, so they had to share part of their power to Wei Changying. After Madam Su saw that they had all agreed, she put down the tea bowl, said a few words, and asked them to retire.

When she returned to Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying ordered with a high spirit: "Bring a set of red gold head jewelry for Granny He!"

She was so busy these days, where did she get the time and mind to read the account books? These account books were all sorted out by Mrs. He! Yes, it was not Mrs. Huang, who was guessed the most by Mrs. Liu, finished the task, but Mrs. He. Mrs. Huang was good at housekeeping, but when it came to accounting management, Mrs. He was the real master!

In the beginning, when several boxes of account books were carried back, Mrs. He complained: "There are so many account books that are all for the young madam to sort out. The first young madam and the second young madam are indeed well-intentioned! How long will it take the young madam to take sort out all of them?" At the same time, she crackled an abacus like a jade plate. Her fingers never stopped that her fingers looked like flying. With two well-written maidservants recording, she read the old accounts at a speed that was almost ten lines at a glance. The speed made Wei Changying, who planned to help her, stunned!

Later, after asked Mrs. Huang, Wei Changying knew that Mrs. He had a hurry temper. She did things neatly and arranged accounts especially quickly: because this Granny was naturally sensitive to the numbers, and she didn't need an abacus to know whether the accounts were right at a glance. Not to mention that she had her own way of keeping accounts, which made everything obvious to her thoroughly, so Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu estimated Wei Changying according to the standard of the ordinary people but did not know that Wei Changying had such a master-hand around her.

And in addition to this, Qin'ge and the other three people, who accompanied Wei Changying to marry into the Shen Family, not only knew martial arts but also knew how to account. Therefore, they all managed to take care of some of the accounts when they were free. With their help, Wei Changying unexpectedly sorted out all those account books in a short time!

Seeing the unparalleled speed of Mrs. He on sorting the accounts, Wei Changying realized that her grandmother and mother had picked her the people that accompanied her into the Shen Family in the same way that they picked her the dowry. They had thought about it from the moment she was born. As a wet nurse, Mrs. He was impatient and didn't have complicated thoughts, but she could manage accounts excellently that she could do the work that was worth the work done by a group of people.

The most important thing was that Mrs. He raised up Wei Changying so that she was naturally very loyal to her. And Mrs. Huang, the absolute confidant of Old Madam Song, had deep thinking which was enough to co-ordinate the overall situation. The two Grannies had always been friends, and it was flawless for them to accompany Wei Changying to marry into the Shen Family!

Wei Changying rewarded Mrs. He with a set of pure gold jewelry and also rewarded Qin'ge and others, who had also helped her these days. Wei Changying was glad that she had given her two sisters-in-law a good look, and she also told Mrs. Huang: "Go to prepare the etiquette for visiting the eldest aunt. I will mention this to my mother tomorrow, and I think my mother would agree to this."

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "This is just right. Today, the young madam just got powers from the first young madam and the second young madam. If you do not mention going to visit your eldest aunt and only concern about taking charge of the affairs immediately, you will be unavoidable to be looked down upon. Going to visit your elders first at this moment will make you seem to attach great importance to affection and righteousness."

Wei Changying said with a cold smile, "Originally, Granny He had finished sorting the accounts the day before yesterday, but she advised me to send it up later so as not to attract people's attention and let people know that Granny He was far more capable of managing accounts than ordinary people. Thus, this will not let vicious villains who calculate the idea of harming people on Granny He... If Mother knows what Granny He is capable, she will also take it for granted that I hand in the accounts in advance. I thought my Granny had a point so that I thought it would be okay to hand in the accounts ten days or half a month later. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu were so impatient. I only arrived a little late, yet they dug a big hole for me! Therefore, I had no choice but to hand it in at once!"

Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Young madam has done the right thing. Let's see if the first young madam and the second young madam still dare to gossip in front of Madam about young madam's ability!"

"It's true that my ability is not that good." Hearing this, Wei Changying laughed out loud, clapped, and said, "But who knows that I have you and Granny He as well as Granny Wan to help me?"

Mrs. Huang said with a smile: "Even if the young madam is not capable, Sister He and I are still following young madam wholehearted."

"It's not that I'm capable, it's my Granny loves me a lot!" Wei Changying threw herself into Mrs. He's arms and fawned, "Granny is the best!"

Mrs. Huang smiled with a glimmer of a smile in her eyes, held her, and could not close her laughing month, "Young lady has become a young madam now, but you still love to be so coquettish, ah, it is really..." Her words sounded as if she was blaming her, but her eyes were full of love, "Young madam should always be so happy..."
