The Superior Female Lead Pampers Her Husband Without Limit

Even though she could hire someone to do these tasks, it was still better for things like accounting to be handled by someone trustworthy.

Besides, if she used pens, paper, or computers from her storage space, it would look strange. She didn't know if people here would accept such new things, and she didn't dare to try it recklessly.

"Hmm, I can manage writing and doing accounts for now."

What Xavia didn't mention was: she was very good at these tasks, but because she was so capable, she had faced some rejection when working at a tavern before. So, she had gotten used to hiding her talents.

Even though she wanted to help her brother and sister-in-law, she still wanted to see what kind of staff they hired at the tavern first. Depending on the situation, she would reveal her abilities bit by bit, so she wouldn't cause trouble or become a burden.

"Then Sister, please help me and teach me how to write and do the accounts too."

"Sure. Just call me when you need help."

...

Jewel found it a bit odd that her mother-in-law's little servant girl didn't come buzzing around today.

But thinking about it, she didn't ask. Every family had its own private matters.

Actually, the servant girl had gone back to her father's house and missed the time when Jewel and her husband returned.

It turned out to be for the best. The Nan family had a happy lunch together, sitting at the table as a family. The servant girl didn't have to eat alone in the kitchen like last time.

After lunch, Jewel and her husband didn't stay long. They saw that their mother-in-law was recovering well and that the elders looked healthy, so they returned to their own home.

Before leaving, Jewel asked Xavia and learned that she would be staying at home for the next few days. So Jewel told her that once their mother-in-law was completely recovered, she would take Xavia to the tavern in town to help out.

That evening, Jewel and her husband lay side by side on the bed, resting with their eyes closed.

Xavi kept replaying what his father had told him during the day:

"Your mother saw a doctor from the best clinic in town and used good herbs… It was thanks to the silver your wife gave us. Without it, we wouldn't even have had enough to eat…"

Meanwhile, Jewel's mind was filled with plans for business. She liked to let her thoughts roam in quiet moments and reflect deeply.

"Wife…"

Xavi called softly. He looked at his wife lost in thought, her eyes closed, and his heart filled with joy.

Jewel heard him, smiled gently, and opened her eyes immediately.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I can't sleep…"

Jewel pulled him into her arms and held her little husband close, then closed her eyes again.

"Then sleep in my arms. Be good~"

Xavi stayed nestled in her arms, breathing in her soft scent, feeling safe and at peace.

Jewel naturally placed her hands on his slender waist, gently rubbing to pull him closer.

The little husband, soothed by his wife's tenderness, soon fell into a calm sleep.

Xavi had wanted to thank his wife for helping his family, but each time the words reached his lips, he couldn't say them.

He had a feeling that if he said "thank you," she might actually get upset.

He felt like she didn't want to be thanked by him.

So he held back the words, and eventually drifted off to sleep without saying anything.

Jewel thought about many things. When she opened her eyes again, she found the person in her arms already fast asleep.

She moved her face closer to her husband's, gently tracing his features with her eyes.

His high nose bridge, fair skin, delicate brows and eyes, soft hair…

Under the faint silver moonlight, Jewel stared at the little figure in her arms, feeling her heart fill with a warm, comforting feeling.

Her little husband curled his lips into a soft smile, as if dreaming of something sweet.

Seeing how happy he looked in his dream, Jewel couldn't help but smile too.

She leaned down and kissed the corner of his lips, where the smile still lingered, then adjusted the light summer blanket over them and lay back down to sleep peacefully.

Outside, frogs croaked somewhere in the village, harmonizing with the chirps of crickets in the Xie family's courtyard.

The couple lay snuggled together, with moonlight like a soft veil draping over the summer night.

As for the servant girl…

She returned from her father's home just before sunset. When she saw the kitchen packed with food, she was stunned for a while.

Then she heard that Jewel was going to start a big tavern business in town, and her heart filled with jealousy and envy.

The Xie family must have gotten incredibly lucky to suddenly start such a large business!

Meanwhile, the Nan family was relying entirely on Xavia to earn silver. So much money had been spent on medical treatments, and just yesterday they called another doctor. Watching the silver disappear like water was painful beyond words.

But the Xie family? Like rich show-offs, they were constantly flaunting their wealth in front of the Nans!

Today they brought rice, tomorrow cakes and other treats.

Just because they had money, they thought they could show off?

If he could get that kind of money from the Xie family, he would never waste it like this!

With that thought, a new idea crept into the servant girl's mind—if he couldn't take the Xie family's money directly, then he could find a way for it to come to him.

How?

By having another man from the He family marry into the Xie family!

This way, not only would the He family's son live a wealthy life in town with Jewel, but he himself—Uncle He—could also benefit from his nephew's wealth.

He imagined even just the money slipping through his nephew's fingers would be enough to let him live comfortably.

Besides, he could present it as a good thing—two cousins serving the same wife. Xavi wouldn't dare object.

If Xavi did complain, Jewel might accuse him of not being virtuous and respectful, and in anger, she might even divorce him and make the He family's son her main husband.

If that happened, with Jewel as their in-law, the He family would have everything they ever wanted…

He sat in the Nan family's kitchen with a gleeful expression, laughing to himself as if he were already the senior in-law, being showered with gifts and wealth every day.

No one in the Nan family knew what he was scheming, but he was already planning to visit the He family again in a few days to talk to his nephew He Xiaoshuang and help him think it over.

If Xiaoshuang agreed, he would teach him how to catch Jewel's attention.

Meanwhile, Jewel had been busy running around for days.

She had already secured the lease papers and keys for a three-story shop in town, and she also bought ten servants from a broker.
