After Wen Yao saw Nuan Nuan's true face clearly, she knew that Nuan Nuan would sooner or later miss the power of the family and move important things in the warehouse early.
Although Wen Wen has great ambitions, she lives in an inner house and has limited horizons. The things she thinks are valuable are actually things Wen Wen doesn't like.
Su Qiuyue is in charge of the family, which makes the second wife feel a sense of crisis. She is stupid and can't use the public money as a private treasury, but she is so willing to spend it on her little daughter?
The gentle housekeeper has always been fair, and no one in the house is dissatisfied.
The third room was naturally worried too, since he was a concubine and it was not his turn to take charge. He was just waiting to see what the first room would do.
When greeting the old lady early the next morning, Nuan Nuan and Su Qiuyue's jewelry obviously looked new. The second wife Lin asked: "Sister-in-law, Nuan Nuan, did you buy new jewelry? Why didn't you buy some for other ladies?
?”
Su Qiuyue said: "Why do you want to buy it for others? Won't you buy it yourself?"
Mrs. Lin held back her anger and said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. This jewelry is not cheap. The little monthly payment we gave to the servants to reward the servants and buy some small things, but there is nothing left. Big
My housekeeper, I bought all the jewelry and clothes together. I heard that you are the housekeeper, sister-in-law. Are you planning to separate the family?"
The old lady's face darkened: "Bastard, who said we wanted to separate the family? I'm still alive, old lady, and you dare to think about separating the family?"
Mrs. Lin quickly apologized: "Mom, please calm down. Of course it's not the daughter-in-law who wants to separate the family. It's the sister-in-law. All things in the palace are accounted for and belong to the whole family. What she did is so unfair."
Su Qiuyue was dissatisfied: "What is fairness? All the money in this family was earned by our big house. You live in such a big house and are served by servants. You still want to worry about the money from the public, what good things are you thinking about?"
"
Wen Yao couldn't help but shake her head. She knew that Mrs. Su was a brainless person, but she didn't expect to be so brainless that she would tell the second wife the story on the first day.
Not wanting to see them arguing, Wen Yao stood up and said, "Grandma, I have something else to do, so I'm going to leave now. I won't have breakfast with you, so you can take your time."
The second wife, Mrs. Lin, quickly stopped her: "Yaoyao, you can't leave. Your housekeeper, the second aunt, is relieved, but look, what did the sister-in-law do?
Her father-in-law's money is not her own, and my father also works for the family. He travels out all year round, as if we are just living for free, but you can't bear this."
Wen Yao said: "Isn't there still grandma here? Second Aunt, ask grandma to administer justice to you. I am more of a daughter. If she wants it, what can I do?
Anyway, the sixth sister wanted 500,000 taels of silver for her dowry, but I couldn’t afford it. I originally planned to give each of my sisters a dowry of 10,000 taels, and the shop and land were all divided up, but my mother didn’t agree, and I didn’t either.
There’s a way.”
When the second wife heard about the dowry, her eyes glowed green. Her Wen Yuan had reached the age of getting married, and she couldn't let Su Qiuyue lose all her family property. She turned to Su Qiuyue to argue, and Wen Yao took the opportunity to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, his third brother Wen Yang chased him out: "Sister, please stay."
"Third brother, is something wrong?"
"Sister, please take a step to speak."
Wen Yao felt that he was different from before. He seemed to be more sensible. In the past, when he saw her, he would dodge his eyes and look guilty and shrinking.
"You tell me."
When they arrived at a deserted place, Wen Yang asked her: "How did my biological mother die? Sister, do you know the truth?"
Wen Yao didn't expect that he was asking about this matter. She was silent for a while and said: "The past is in the past. There is no point in pursuing it. It's better to look forward."
Wen Yang's pupils narrowed slightly: "Is it really the aunt who killed her?"
Wen Yao: "If I don't know, don't listen to others' instigation. And even if it is, what can you do?"
Wen Yang didn't believe it: "Sister, do you really not know? You are so good to me, are you always trying to make up for me? Atone for your mother's sins!"
Wen Yao smiled: "You are overthinking. I only have the obligation to you as the head of the family, and I am not particularly kind to you. After all, you are a concubine. To put it bluntly, compared with several younger brothers, I still prefer
them.
My thoughts on Wen Chen and Wen Zefei are not one tenth as high as yours. I just gave you the treatment that a descendant of the Wen family should have, and I didn't treat you harshly.
You see, I am so cruel to Wen Chen, that is really good. I want him to become a talented person, to be successful, to be able to support himself, and to live like a man.
And you, you eat, drink and have fun every day, don't study if you don't want to study, skip classes and play, I have never disciplined you severely. If you think this is a good thing, I deserve it!"
Wen Yang was greatly shocked. How could it be like this?
"Wen Yang, you shouldn't worry about this, it's pointless."
Wen Yao turned around and walked away, leaving Wen Yang in despair, squatting on the ground in pain and not getting up for a long time.
Why is this so? No one really cares about him or cares about him, he is the redundant one.
Wen Yao's face was cold. Although some things were cruel, it would be a good thing for the third brother to accept the reality as soon as possible.
I went to the teahouse where I met Yuan Rui for the first time. As expected, he was waiting there. Looking at Yuan Rui's masculine and handsome face, Wen Miao's mood suddenly improved.
"How long have you been here?"
"It didn't take long, just arrived."
Xu Zhiyong, the salesman who sells things very quickly, said: "It didn't take long, just an hour. The prince got up early to practice boxing, took a shower and went out. He is waiting for the eldest lady to have breakfast."
Wen Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten either. I don't have the appetite to eat because of all the trouble at home. I'll eat with you."
Yuan Ruijun blushed slightly: "Okay, Xu Zhiyong, go to Maoer Hutong and buy some crab meat buns."
"Ah, the queue for their steamed buns lasted at least half an hour, and I didn't even eat."
"I think your mouth doesn't need to be eaten. Why don't you go quickly? I can't control you anymore?"
Xu Zhiyong shook his head. Master, this is Chi Guoguo's revenge. If he didn't say anything, how could the eldest lady know what the master was thinking?
If you do it, you have to tell it. If you don't tell it, how will others know?
After sending away the troublesome guy, Yuan Rui glanced at Zhiqin unconsciously. Zhiqin was the most discerning and said, "I'll go buy breakfast for the eldest lady."
The two of them were the only ones left in the private room, and they were finally able to talk.
"My grandparents will be back in half a month, and they will invite you to their home. They want to see you."
The status of Old King Jing and the old Princess in Yuan Rui's mind is no less than that of the Princess, and even higher than that of his father. For some reason, Yuan Rui always feels that under his seemingly gentle appearance, his father does not love him much. Father and son
They were polite to each other.
Sometimes he wished he could give him a good beating or scold him, which was better than being always polite.
