After Xiao Ruiyuan's marriage leave ended, he went to the Government Office to handle official business every day, once again becoming immersed in the busyness of the past, with little time during the day to accompany Mo Yan.
Feeling bored at home, Mo Yan started, under Xiao Ruiyuan's reminder, to slowly take over the management of the General Mansion's properties as well as those of Lord Wei Yuan House.
Although the couple did not live at the Hou Mansion, Xiao Ruiyuan had inherited the title, and the Hou Mansion's properties were merged into the General Mansion's and were managed under its unified care.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn't have the time to deal with these worldly affairs and left them all to his trusted aides to manage. Now that the General Mansion had a Family Head, it was only proper for her to take over, and it also helped to keep in check those with less honest intentions who might want to undermine the General Mansion's interests.
