Chapter 322: Making a mess 4
Aunt Qiu thought that if she could squeeze an extra tael out of the public money of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be a tael.
After all, Xia Boran had two sons. Even if Aunt Qiu plotted for Xia Zixuan, Xia Zixuan would actually inherit the Prime Minister's Mansion in the end.
But Xia Ziqi is Xia Boran's son after all, so she is qualified to spend Xia Boran's money.
Therefore, every extra point Xia Zixuan can spend is just one point. There is absolutely no way that Aunt Qiu will pay for the money Xia Zixuan was fined herself.
Aunt Qiu didn't expect that even when Xia Zixuan was in trouble, she never took out the money.
On the contrary, because of Xia Chiwan's unintentional words, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver she had saved were actually advantageous to that tiger woman, Mrs. Hou Ye.
Thinking of this, Aunt Qiu secretly resented it.
She asked the old Marquis's wife to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance, but in order to make the old Marquis's wife a powerful gun in her hands.
She never thought that it would happen to her and Mrs. Marquis, who often walked by the river without getting their shoes wet.
It didn't matter that the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes had been hacked by Mrs. Hou Ye. What Aunt Qiu was most nervous about were the stores and farmland.
If those real estates were also swallowed up by the old Marquis and his wife, then Aunt Qiu would be so heartbroken that she would bleed.
Regarding the matter of the shop and farmland, Aunt Qiu had no choice but to ask Xia Boran directly.
Because Aunt Qiu knew that if she hid so much of Yun Qiandu's dowry from Xia Boran, and Xia Boran found out, she would definitely not be able to get any favors from her.
Xia Boran didn't mind that Aunt Qiu was greedy for Yun Qiandu's dowry. It was difficult for Xia Boran to do this kind of thing, but it was easy for Aunt Qiu to do it.
The problem is that, as far as Xia Boran is concerned, everything dug out from Yun Qiandu should belong to the Prime Minister's Mansion and belong to him.
Because Xia Boran always thought that Aunt Qiu was just making small fuss and not amassing a lot of money.
How could he have imagined that, in fact, in this Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt Qiu was much richer than him, the Prime Minister.
In addition to his own salary, Xia Boran mainly relied on the favor of the officials below. As for the shops and fertile land Xia Boran owned.
Although it is good, the talents of Xia Boran's people are limited. More importantly, the location owned by Xia Boran is not comparable to that owned by Aunt Qiu.
The shops in really good locations in Kyoto are owned by people.
Even though Xia Boran was the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, he was considered inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
It's a pity that in Kyoto, a capital with a long history, a newly rising prime minister like Xia Boran is too unpopular.
Therefore, Xia Boran's foundation in Kyoto has not been particularly stable.
No matter how unwilling Aunt Qiu was, she was forced into the small Buddhist hall.
Aunt Qiu was driven to the small Buddhist hall as punishment.
Therefore, the small Buddhist hall that had not been visited for a long time was obviously very dirty, but no maids came to help Aunt Qiu clean the small Buddhist hall.
Fortunately, Aunt Qiu has been in charge of the house for a long time.
Even if ordinary maids don't dare to help Aunt Qiu, there are still maids who understand the principle of finding wealth in danger.
As a result, there were a few maids who wanted to please Aunt Qiu at this time and caught Aunt Qiu's attention, so they quietly went to the small Buddhist hall to serve Aunt Qiu.
Faced with the flattery of these little maids, Aunt Qiu naturally accepted it with peace of mind and had a plan in her heart to take this maid with her when she went out again.
