Chapter 992 ·Winter Solstice

Bai Rongxuan called Manager Wang to his uncle's study alone. This was the place where his uncle practiced calligraphy, and there were many pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table. Yan Guanyi was busy lighting the lamp, while Bai Rongxuan sat down neatly.

The lights were on and the room was bright.

Bai Rongxuan asked Wang Dequan to sit and talk, but Wang Dequan, who didn't know what was called, was very uneasy and stood aside in restraint.

Bai Rongxuan did not force herself and whispered about giving the reward at the end of the year.

Wang Dequan then suddenly realized. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief and told Bai Rongxuan truthfully, "Master Zhi, the servants of the three houses have always received rewards for money over the years. Although the wife and nobles have forgotten this matter, the master remembers it. He has expressed at the end of every year that he has never treated these people unfairly."

Bai Rongxuan was shocked, "Uncle? This is the business of our third wife, how can he pay for it?"

Wang Dequan nodded, "I said so at first, but the master said that the industry of the third house is very stable and he doesn't need to take care of him at all. Moreover, when the third house was alive, he had many supporters to the outside world. He always remembered this kindness and was unruly to help his brothers. He had to get so many dividends at the end of each year, which made him really uneasy and had no shame to see the third house in the future. The reward was paid out from the dividends, and he also told me not to mention it to his wife afterwards."

Bai Rongxuan was even more puzzled. Since Bai Yuanze was so affectionate about the third wife, why did Bai Yuanze's family never lend a helping hand to her when she went to Shanghai in her previous life?

Bai Rongxuan couldn't figure it out.

Wang Dequan said, "This has been happening all these years..."

Bai Rongxuan said helplessly, "How can this work? It is a great kindness for my uncle to help take care of the family business. How can he let him pay for us to save face? Since such a thing is happening, why didn't you tell my mother earlier?"

Wang De said red-earedly, "The master didn't let me say it, let alone the wife was worried at that time. I was afraid that if she said this, it would only make her worry, and she hesitated and didn't speak."

Bai Rongxuan sighed, "Forget it, I will mention this matter to my mother myself. I can't bear such a big favor without realizing it. But we will pay for the reward this year ourselves, so we can't take advantage of my uncle anymore."

Wang Dequan bowed and said sincerely, "I really think this matter is simple. Please punish Master Zhi."

Bai Rongxuan said, "It's not as serious as you said, and there's no question of punishment. You have worked very hard in Shanghai over the years. It is because of you that my mother can rest with peace of mind and I can also study. I remember all your hard work in my heart. I can't be grateful, so why would you blame you?"

Wang Dequan was moved and said with red eyes, "Don't worry, Master Zhi, even if I have fought for this life, I will definitely protect our family business. I will wait for you to go back and take over. No matter what you say, the second wife won't ask for benefits."

Bai Rongxuan comforted him a few words, and Tang Songzhou's voice came from outside.

Bai Rongxuan quickly got up and walked to the door to greet him. Tang Songzhou walked in with a tired look on his face. When he saw Bai Rongxuan, he showed a smile on his face, "I'm here to find something, has it disturbed you?"
