Marquis Gu held his breath, anxiously awaiting his young wife's answer. His long, narrow eyes locked onto Qin Yuan's like a hawk fixating on a rabbit.
Qin Yuan said seriously, "Husband, do you think I don't already have enough on my plate? Now that Sun Accountant and Housekeeper Zhang's positions remain unfilled, and Six Brother-in-law's matter cannot afford the slightest error, I'm not the Monkey King Sun Wukong, plucking hairs and creating countless helpers to do my bidding. You have people at your disposal to handle matters, why burden me further?"
These words swiftly pulled Marquis Gu out from the quagmire of doubt.
"This was my fault, I didn't think it through properly. We'll discuss it after you're done with your tasks."
Qin Yuan pursed her lips and playfully said, "We can talk about it later. Earlier, you let me pick things from your private stash, and now you use it as punishment against you? That's too perfunctory, I won't agree to it."
