Zhulan was thrilled, and what pleased her most was Lady Li's trust. As for Lady Dong, Lady Dong only wanted to please her.
Each household discussed the matter upon returning; Zhou eldest brother was dumbfounded. Lady Li had indeed not consulted him, but, Lady Li did a good job!
Zhou second brother fell silent for a while. He trusted his mother, but like his wife, Zhao, he preferred to keep a reserve and liked to test his own abilities, so Zhou second brother had no reason to complain about Zhao.
Chang Lian praised Lady Dong, "Well done. Mother truly has a knack for seizing silver coins. With the household's silver coins in Mother's hands, our annual income will surely increase."
Lady Dong was happy to have made the right move, "What you said is right, Husband. From now on, I will surely listen more to Mother."
