At night, Butler Qin vented all the pressure from the old lady on Bai He.
Seeing the young and tender Bai He's graceful expression underneath him, for some reason, he suddenly thought of the old lady's pink-painted face that was full of oppression.
As soon as this picture emerged, he immediately felt defeated.
He turned over and lay on his side, thinking again about the old lady's request for three hundred thousand taels of silver.
"What's wrong with you? Are you still worried about what the old lady said?"
Bai He was in high spirits, but the other party suddenly turned off the mood. She felt a little disdainful of the elderly steward Qin.
However, no matter how much she despised this average-looking man in his forties, she was willing to please him against her will if he could give her shelter in the Chen Mansion.
She is different from Biyu.
Biyu was born into the family. In the Chen Mansion, her mother Zhao Ma protected her, and in Zhuangzi, her father Lin Changgui was in charge.
As for her, she was sold into the Chen Mansion when she was a child and had no one to rely on. When she grew up, her appearance became outstanding, and she was targeted by Butler Qin, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn't know that there were many beautiful girls in the house who had been tasted by Butler Qin, but she turned a blind eye to them.
She didn't care if the man had a wife at home or was cheating with other girls in the house, as long as Butler Qin always protected her in the house.
Butler Qin sighed and held her in his arms, "You still understand me best..."
Bai He leaned in Butler Qin's arms, stroking his chest with her jade hands.
"Actually, you have never thought that if the old lady sold her dowry to Zhuangzi, it would be almost three hundred thousand taels!"
After selling Zhuangzi, Biyu's father had no place to be a steward.
"What did you say?"
Butler Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Zhuangzi can't do it. It's the old lady's dowry and her lifeblood. Even if she sells the Chen Mansion, she won't sell Zhuangzi!"
"Besides... that Zhuangzi is not worth that much money."
"Why are you so stubborn? The old lady tried her best to let you find a way. It's inappropriate for you to delay in saying a way."
"Anyway, the decision-making power is in the hands of the old lady. You just mentioned it so that the old lady knows that you really have no choice but to finally think of this trick."
"In this way, the old lady won't force you to find ways to raise money in the future, right?"
"this……"
"Isn't this better than keeping you awake at night with a frown on your face?" Bai He blew in Butler Qin's ear, "And this is the only way!"
Butler Qin's ears twitched, "What you said makes sense. This is a way..."
The old lady has been in charge of the Chen family for many years and has already developed a dictatorial character. No matter what he says, the old lady refuses to listen. If she wants to redeem the shop, she really has no better way.
Seeing that Butler Qin agreed with this idea, Bai He felt happy.
Although the old lady may not agree with this idea in the end, Bai He is willing to give it a try as long as there is a slight chance that Lin Changgui will not be able to become Zhuangzi's steward.
Sure enough, on the second day, Butler Qin really told the old lady about Bai He's proposal.
Just as he expected, the old lady immediately objected.
"If Zhuangzi can't do it, why don't you think of another way?"
"Old madam," Butler Qin knelt down helplessly, "even if you kill me, I can't think of any other way..."
"Although I am good at money management, it is really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!"
Seeing Butler Qin in such a difficult situation, the old lady's face became heavy.
The Chen family had already been in crisis, otherwise why would she go to such trouble to marry Su Nianyun?
However, everything that happened after marrying the princess was very different from what she expected.
Butler Qin was right. Now that the entire Chen Mansion has been emptied out, the only valuable thing left in her hands is Zhuangzi, whom she married as a dowry.
"Okay, you go about your business first, and I'll think about it carefully..."
After Butler Qin left, she rubbed her aching forehead.
Zhao's mother said anxiously, "Old madam, you can't sell Zhuangzi!"
Her husband was Zhuangzi's steward and one of the most trusted stewards of the old lady.
If Zhuangzi is sold, Lin Changgui will inevitably return to his hometown.
Most of the house is now controlled by Butler Qin, so where can there be a place for her husband?
"Moreover, the uncle is still hiding in Zhuangzi to recuperate. If he sells Zhuangzi, where will he go?"
"Okay," the old lady waved her hand. She didn't understand what Zhao Ma was thinking. "You can go out and let me think about it alone."
Zhao Ma had no choice but to leave the room anxiously, and when she saw Bai He carrying the bird's nest and carrying the bird's nest to the old lady's room, she felt bad.
But then she thought of her daughter, who had become more resourceful recently, and immediately went to find Biyu.
Unexpectedly, Biyu listened to her mother's words and didn't care at all.
"Mom, the old lady has the final say whether to sell Zhuangzi or not. How can you try to influence the old lady's decision?"
Wen's mother might be able to do this kind of thing, but with her mother's wisdom, she would never be able to do it.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ma said, "Listening to what you said, do you agree with the old lady selling Zhuangzi?"
"Have you ever thought about what your father can do when he returns home after selling Zhuangzi?"
"The power in charge of the outer court lies with Butler Qin. With the conflict between him and our mother and daughter, do you think he can re-arrange something good for your father?"
"Mom, why do you only want daddy?" Biyu smiled.
Zhao's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Your father is my husband. If I don't think about him, who else can I think about?"
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I meant, how could you forget who dad is taking care of?"
"If the old lady is going to sell Zhuangzi, then dad will definitely return. So, is it fair for dad to bring a capable assistant back to the house?"
"You mean, this is the perfect opportunity to bring the uncle back?" Zhao Ma probably understood her daughter's thoughts.
"The old lady loves uncle the most. It is a good thing to have him quietly by her side..."
After listening to her daughter's words, Zhao's mother suddenly felt relieved.
Only the three members of his family know the secret of the uncle's whereabouts. Based on this, their family is closely tied to the old lady.
In this way, she really doesn't have to worry too much about her husband's whereabouts.
Mother Zhao, who was confident in her heart, stopped talking too much when she went to serve the old lady in her room the next day.
However, she didn't speak this time, which made the old lady even more unhappy.
She is now fighting alone, and most hopes that the people around her can come up with useful ideas.
Mother Zhao either doesn't speak, and when she speaks, she only thinks about her family, without any practical advice.
Seeing Mother Zhao like this, the old lady became even more troubled.
"What's going on with Mother Wen?" she asked. "It's been how many days and she still hasn't been here to serve her. Has she asked a doctor to take a look at her?"
This is the first time in the past half month that the old lady has urged Wen’s mother to come to her. Just when Zhao Ma thought that the old lady was about to abandon Wen’s mother...
After hearing that the old lady finally thought of seeing the best doctor in the capital to treat Wen's mother, Su Nianyun was eating sour preserved apricots.
"Little master, I still have a lot of medicine in my hand. Should I continue to make Wen's mother sick?" Su Da asked.
Su Nianyun put down the preserved apricots and wiped her hands with the handkerchief Xia Yue handed her.
"No, it's not fun for two people to sing and act alone on the stage. I like to see everyone fighting together!"
