"Finally, peace and quiet." Lin Xuan Qi mumbled to himself when he held onto the frame of the doors, ready to close it.

He frowned when he saw some people coming towards his bedroom.

They came closer, walked past the shadow of the pillars and roof, revealing themselves under the moonlight.

Yue Jie's face looked even fairer than usual under it.

She had some items in her hands and the new servant following behind her had some silk clothes held in the new servant's hands.

"Master Lin." Yue Jie bowed at him and said, "Now that I have help, I think it's time to have new sets of clothes for you."

Lin Xuan Qi gave out a sigh of relief when he heard Yue Jie.

He had enough excitement for the day.

"Come in." He said and left the doors open.

Yue Jie and the servant entered the room and got to work immediately.

The servant was what she had claimed.

Skillfully, she took the pieces of silk, placed them on his body and took measurements with a ruler.

"Twenty-five... Thirty..."

She shouted out the measurements while Yue Jie would note them down onto a piece of paper.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Yue Jie with his arms stretched out for the measurements.

In comparison, Yue Jie was always caring and didn't give him any trouble.

If only they could be like her, he thought to himself.

He hoped that Yue Jie and Yue Xin would feel better after they paid a visit to their father.

Yue Jie wrote with her head looking down on the piece of paper.

A strand of hair came down from her forehead, and she used her hand to sweep it to the side, resting it on top of her ear.

At that moment, she looked gorgeous to him.

He could gaze at the pretty sight all day.

If not for the fact that his arms were going sour after stretching them out for so long.

When Yue Jie took a breath, her bosom rose with it and Lin Xuan Qi's heartbeat raced in tandem.

Luckily, they were done at the next moment.

Unaware of what transpired, Yue Jie stood up and said, "Master Lin, the clothes shall be finished as soon as possible."

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head, and a thought came into his mind.

"How much money do we have left?"

He had spent quite a sum of money getting the new servants, household expenses and more would be spent on the horses and horse carriage.

Yue Jie took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and passed it to him.

It had a summary of the assets he had left.

There were still six taels of gold out of the ten he was gifted by Sima Long and some pieces of silver left.

Each tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, of which he had already used forty taels of silver for the new servants.

The rest of the taels of silver were used for the household expenses.

And soon, he had to pay the allowance for the workers and servants.

If he didn't make more money soon, he might have some difficulty making sure the servants were fed.

The soap business and the additional delivery of rice should help tremendously.

"I will try and help Xue Cong to reduce the expenses as much as possible." Yue Jie said when she saw him in a deep frown.

She understood the responsibilities on his shoulders and wanted to help.

Lin Xuan Qi kept the piece of paper and gave her a smile.

"Don't worry about it."

"Yes, Master Lin."

After bowing to him, Yue Jie and the servant left his room.

"Phew, finally." He mumbled and closed the door.

Lin Xuan Qi walked to the bathtub and hovered his hand over it.

The water was still warm, giving out steam.

He took off his clothes and dipped himself into the bathtub.

Lying down in it, he relaxed himself and summoned the system's information panel.

[Choose person in mansion to see summary of their day:]

[1. Xue Cong.]

[2. Yue Jie.]

[3. Yue Xin.]

[4. Lee He Song.]

[5. Liu Shi Shi.]

...

After what happened earlier, he thought about the name 'Yue Jie' without any hesitation.

He wanted to find out what was on her mind.

More words appeared in his mind.

[Summary of Yue Jie's day.]

[Yue Jie thought about you for about 15 times today.]

[She thought equally between Yue Xin and you.]

[The visit to see their father was the utmost thing that she wanted.]

[She felt for you seeing that you had to take on so much by yourself.]

[Her concerns led her to think about you being single.]

[Maybe you would be better taken care of with someone close.]

[After all, there were things that she, being a servant girl, can't help you with.]

[She hoped you would be able to lead a fulfilled and successful life.]

[Loyalty: 99]

[Affection: 80]

[Respect: 99]

[Gratitude: 100]

"Help me with what..."

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head when he saw the summary for Yue Jie's day.

He shrugged and thought that, at least, she wasn't having weird ideas like Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.

...

Next day.

Lin Xuan Qi woke up and had a quick breakfast.

He left the mansion and headed straight to the factory on the east of the city with Lee He Song.

"Master Lin." The workers were up and were in the process of burning the crop stalk and stirring the clamshells in the wok.

He inspected what they had produced the day before.

"Open it." He said, and a worker opened the cover on the wooden barrel.

It looked satisfactory.

Next, it was time to arrange for the barrels to be delivered to the retail store.

Song and his men had made the pushcart to do so.

The workers loaded the barrels onto the pushcart and transported them to the address Lin Xuan Qi had given them.

He headed straight to the factory in the west immediately.

Things were going great.
