Chapter 10 Auntie's Visit

"Stop it! As the second wife, greedy for the dowry and money of the original wife, can't you say it nice? You don't have shame, the four girls want to be shameful, and the Empress Zhaoyi in the palace wants to be shameful. Go back and give me the account book in the mansion, I want to see how you control the family!" Mrs. Wang's face was pale. The old lady was trying to seize the power of the family, "Old lady..."

Ye Li stepped forward to interrupt Wang and whispered: "Old lady, the Wang family is the grandfather's family of the second and fourth sisters. It was nothing to give them the money. But... my mother told me to keep some filial piety and some to keep some for my sisters to dowry. Li'er thought there was no need to be too much. Now there are only four, five and six sisters in the family, so each of them is counted as 10,000 taels. There are also 30,000 taels to give my grandmother. There is only 60,000 taels in total." After saying that,

He looked at Aunt Zhao on the side and smiled, "Don't worry, aunt, if you have a younger brother and sister, Li'er, you will make up for the same portion of your younger brother and sister." Aunt Zhao was stunned, and was a little regretful and unwilling to do so. He heard Ye Li say this and covered her lips and smiled happily, "Then let me borrow the auspicious words of the third lady. The third lady is indeed the legitimate lady of our Ye family. It is really the style of everyone." Will Ye Li fulfill her promise in the future? Ye Li's words will make her happy.

Sixty thousand taels vs. tens of thousands of taels sounded really not much, but Ye Li knew that many of the money were taken by the Wang family to clear the career of the officialdom, or they would be squandered. Now, it would be enough for Wang to take out sixty thousand taels at a time. As long as Zhao Yi is still there, as long as Ye Ying is still Princess Li, it is impossible for the old lady to really treat Wang. Then let her vomit blood.

When Ye Shangshu heard this, he felt that Ye Li was very generous and nodded in praise, "Lier said something reasonable, you should do this." Although the family could not treat Wang, he was not happy that Wang took the money from his family to his mother's family. He couldn't help but think of the Yuan wife who was responsible for the Ye family back then, and his eyes looked at Ye Li even more gentle.

The old lady also agreed very much, not only saved the face of the two families, but also saved tens of thousands of taels of dowry. As for the Wang family... the Wang family is not able to compete with the Ye family, and the Wang family is originally in the wrong. Even if Ye Zhaoyi was the daughter of the Wang family, she was still the daughter of the Ye family, and she would definitely not point to the bad family. She looked at Ye Li lovingly and nodded and praised: "Lier acts well, and it is indeed the virtue of being the mistress of the family. You don't have to worry about your grandmother when you enter the Ding King's Mansion in the future. The Xu family's tutor is better." Wang's face looked even more ugly. The Xu family's tutor is better, that is, the Wang family's tutor is not good? Ye Ying glanced at Ye Li and lowered her head aggrievedly. What else did Mrs. Wang want to say, but the old lady glanced at her and said coldly: "Are you really want to go to the prefectural yamen in the capital?"

"I obey the order and I will make up the money as soon as possible." Wang said unwillingly.

"Ying'er will get married in a few days. You can teach her how to be a wife in the yard these days."

"Yes." This was forbidden her feet, and she didn't even have a chance to complain to the palace like Empress Zhaoyi.

Qingyixuan

Ye Li sat leisurely in the room and looked at the silver notes that had just been sent from Prince Li's mansion. A sneer flashed across Qingli's face. It turned out that Prince Li and Ye Ying had hooked up a year ago. Over the past year, the antiques that Prince Li took away in Shen Dexuan several times were worth more than 17,000 taels, but they had never given one tael of silver.

"Miss, this King Li is so shameless!" Qingshuang stood behind Ye Li and said angrily. Originally, King Li was a handsome man in the capital. Qingshuang was still very expecting this future son-in-law, but she didn't expect that the ignorant guy actually withdrew from the lady's marriage, which ruined the lady's reputation. It would be fine, but she dared to take her lady's things for nothing. It was really shameless!

Ye Li turned around and handed the silver note to Qingshuang, and said with a funny look: "You can say this too? Be careful that someone will hear me, I can't save you." Qingshuang stuck out her tongue in shame and shrank her shoulders and said: "I know that the lady will not ignore Qingshuang. What's more... no one in our yard will hear it?" Qing Yixuan is the smallest and most biased courtyard in the entire Ye Mansion, and there are not even many people serving him. Apart from a few maids, the lady is only alone. Compared with Ye Ying's group of servants and maids, her lady is so shabby that she is not as good as her aunt's daughter.

"Miss, why did you let that Mrs. Wang go so easily today?" Thinking of Wang's pale face and shaky appearance, Qingshuang felt refreshed and unwilling.

Ye Li smiled and said, "Wang is Zhaoyi's biological mother in the palace, and the fourth sister is the future Princess Li. What do you think your grandmother and father will treat her for me?"

After thinking about it carefully, Qingshuang lowered her head in dismay and muttered, "The old lady and the master are too partial." That's right, even if Wang spit out tens of thousands of taels of silver, her own lady didn't see her. Ye Li patted her and smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Wang's tens of thousands of taels, at least I can take away all the remaining dowry of my mother. Compared with her mother's dowry, those tens of thousands of taels are nothing."

Qingshuang nodded, and she had no good feelings for the Ye family. The Ye family had already had weak foundations. If it weren't for the wife's dowry over the years, how could she have today's glory? But looking at what life did her own lady live over the years? It would not be an exaggeration to be honest.

Worried that her words would make the lady sad, Qingshuang quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Miss Ye, this morning, Mrs. Ye mentioned that there are too few people around her. Are you adding a few more so that you won't be nice to come to Dingwang Mansion in the future?"

Ye Li frowned. Ye Li didn't know the people around her. But Ye Li used to be fond of Qingjing and didn't want the people around her to care about it. But if you want to get married, it's really a problem. She can't take Wang seriously because she is confident that Wang can't do anything about her, and she can't live in the Ye Mansion for the rest of her life. But if she marrys into the Ding King's Mansion in the future, she can't be so casual anymore. She rubbed her eyebrows and thought, "You go and tell the supervisor later that I will pick a few girls in the yard." Qingshuang nodded and responded, "The nanny who is serving around..."

"Don't worry about this. A few days ago, my aunt said that she would send Madam Lin and Madam Wei who were around her, two days later." When her mother passed away, Ye Li had just recovered from memory and was seriously ill. During this period, Wang took the opportunity to make trouble and beat Madam Su, her mother's wet nurse, and drove her out of the mansion. When Ye Li's health was a little better, she knew that only Madam Lin and Madam Wei, the wet nurse, were left. Ye Li naturally knew what Wang was thinking and understood that her situation could not protect these people at that time. So she used the excuse that her mother died of illness and was worried that her grandmother was sad, and sent Madam Lin and Madam Wei back to the Gu family. In recent years, there were many people from the Wang family in this mansion, so Ye Li was too lazy to pay attention to it, so the fewer people around her, the better.
