At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

Yu Yunxin was very relieved. All the servants in the mansion were arranged by Chunyu. Although they were temporary workers, they worked very seriously. The servants in the west courtyard often pretended to be the master and ordered them to work, but they always shirked their responsibilities. They often used the Wang family as an excuse, which was really ridiculous.

"Oh my god!" Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan, wearing windbreakers, walked out side by side. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they heard a loud noise coming from the house behind them, and someone fell down. This sudden change frightened Yuanxiang and her daughter to the ground, and the entire West Courtyard fell into chaos.

When Old Man Yu and Old Lady Yu in the mansion heard the voice, they slowly came to the west courtyard with the help of two servants.

"Oh my god! There are so many maids and servants in the West Courtyard, and the snow on the roof must be two feet high! Why is there no one shoveling the snow?

Old Master Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed his finger at Wang Yuanxiang and cursed furiously: "Look at the West Courtyard you are in charge of, what a mess it is! Fortunately, my son is smart and let Xin'er take charge of the Yu Mansion. Otherwise, if the entire Yu Mansion was handed over to you, I'm afraid it would collapse!"

Wang Yuanxiang lowered her head and said nothing, feeling extremely aggrieved. She also wanted to manage the family well, but now the money in the mansion was managed by Yu Yunxin's people, and she had no money to pay the monthly allowances to these distant relatives.

At this time, Yu Yunxuan stood up and said, "Grandfather and grandmother, this is not mother's fault. It's the servants who are lazy and unwilling to work."

Old Man Yu glanced at Yu Yunxuan and said in a slightly more gentle tone, "So what do you think we should do? It's winter and the house is about to collapse. Where are you going to live?"

Yu Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't my eldest sister have a mansion? We can move in with her temporarily."

Old Master Yu nodded, thinking this was a great idea. Then he turned his attention to Yu Yunxin.

"I don't agree. That mansion was bestowed by the emperor. How can you live in it?" Yu Yunxin walked into the west courtyard and said loudly.

"Then you can live back in the Princess Mansion, and Yayun Garden will be left for us to stay in." Yu Yunxuan continued.

"Are you driving Xin'er out of the Yu Mansion?" Yu Tinghai walked into the west courtyard like a tiger descending from the mountain. He shouted angrily, scaring Yu Yunxuan so much that she retreated three steps away.

"Father, that's not what I meant!" Yu Yunxuan said immediately when she saw Yu Tinghai.

"Are these servants all distant relatives of your Wang family? Haha, that's ridiculous! Don't think that I don't know what you do on a daily basis just because I'm not often in the mansion!" Yu Tinghai was furious, his voice was deafening, and his eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

He slapped a stone table in the yard so hard that his fingers almost poked a hole in the table. His chest rose and fell violently, as if an uncontrollable anger was burning in his heart. He stared at the people in front of him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through them.

"Master, our house has collapsed. Where should we live?" Wang Yuanxiang asked with a worried look on her face, tearfully.

"Why didn't the other courtyards of the Yu Mansion collapse? Look at the snow in your courtyard? Everyone is so well-fed, like steamed buns just out of the pot, with steam coming out of their bodies. They are even more powerful than the master! You servants, I'm afraid you have eaten a lot of the fat from our Yu Mansion!"

Every word was like a sharp sword, piercing the other person's heart. His tone was filled with undisguised contempt and disdain, which made people feel a chill.

"Yunxuan, don't you have a set of gouache jade jewelry? Pawn it and use it to repair the roof." Yu Tinghai said calmly.

However, Yu Yunxuan got furious when she heard this and shouted, "Father, it's not like we in the Yu family don't have money, why do you want me to take out my own jewelry? This is too unfair!"

Yu Tinghai frowned and said unhappily, "That set of jewelry was not originally yours. Xin'er asked you to give it to Miss Ye Er as a gift, but you embezzled it! Now the west courtyard has collapsed and needs money to repair it. Do you still want to live in this shabby house?"

Hearing this, Yu Yunxuan's face turned very ugly, but she still stubbornly retorted: "Humph, even if that set of jewelry was originally intended for Miss Ye Er, it is now in my hands and is mine! Besides, it's just a roof, is it necessary to go to so much trouble? Father, you are too stingy!"

Yu Tinghai was so angry that he almost slammed the table. He glared at Yu Yunxuan and said sternly, "How dare you! What's your attitude? Although our Yu family has some wealth, we can't squander it at will! Besides, a leaking roof is a big deal. If it's not repaired in time, it will affect the safety and comfort of the entire mansion. As a member of the Yu family, you should have the responsibility and obligation to consider the family!"

Yu Yunxuan was speechless, but she was still not convinced. She thought: This old man is getting more and more stingy! It's just a set of jewelry, why is he making such a fuss? When I marry the prince in the future, will I still be afraid that I won't have more expensive jewelry? Thinking of this, she glared at Yu Yunxin fiercely, then turned around and went back to her room.

Reluctantly, he took out the gouache jade jewelry. Yu Tinghai motioned He Bo to take the box from Yu Yunxuan.

After taking the jewelry box, Uncle He turned and walked out of the yard.

Yu Tinghai looked at the servants in front of him, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "You guys, are you blind? Don't you see that the snow in the yard is so thick? And the roof is about to collapse! If you don't hurry up and shovel the snow and repair the roof, then don't stay in my Yu Mansion! I don't want to keep idle people in my Yu Mansion! Now, immediately, pack up your things and get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who were lazily standing aside suddenly came to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. They looked at each other with a trace of panic on their faces. Then, someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry up and get started, otherwise you will really be kicked out of the house!" So everyone took action, some picked up shovels, some carried brooms, and worked enthusiastically.

Uncle He came over after a while and said, "Master, we can't find any craftsmen outside now, but I bought some materials and you can let them repair the roof!"

Yu Tinghai listened and said, "Give the silver from the jewelry to Aunt Wang. Wang Yuanxiang, from now on, whether it's food, clothing, social intercourse, or wages for the servants in the West Courtyard, you can't ask Xin'er for a single copper coin."

"This month, Uncle He's monthly allowance will be paid out of my salary. Next month, Aunt Wang will prepare it herself."

Everyone was very happy to receive the monthly allowance, and soon the whole yard was bustling with activity. The servants were busy moving around, and the rustling sound of the shovels rubbing against the ground was ringing in the ears. They worked together to shovel the snow bit by bit and pile it aside. Others climbed onto the roof and carefully cleaned the snow and debris on it to ensure the safety of the roof.

Yu Tinghai stood aside, watching all this, and his anger gradually subsided. He knew that although these servants were usually a bit lazy, they could only play a role if they had money.

With everyone's efforts, the snow was finally cleared. Old Man Yu looked at the tidy yard, nodded with satisfaction, and left the west yard with Old Lady Yu.

Yu Tinghai turned to look at Wang Yuanxiang, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, he sighed, and slowly said: "The West Courtyard is now uninhabitable, you and Yunxuan should move to my courtyard to rest tonight." After that, he turned and left. Wang Yuanxiang looked at Yu Tinghai's back with gratitude, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan were packing their luggage and preparing to move to Yu Tinghai's yard. Yu Yunxuan was sorting out her clothes while complaining, "Damn it, I'm so unlucky today! Not only did I lose a set of jewelry, but I also have to move to my father's yard." Wang Yuanxiang sighed softly and comforted her, "Okay, Yunxuan, stop complaining. At least we have a temporary place to stay, which is better than living in that shabby west yard. Besides, your father still can't live without me now? I tell you, women just want to pretend to be weak in front of men, and men just like these weak women." As they spoke, they had packed their luggage and walked towards Yu Tinghai's yard.

Entering Yu Tinghai's yard, Yu Yunxuan couldn't help but look around, secretly sighing in her heart: This yard is too simple! After all, her father is also a dignified Minister of Justice.

Yu Tinghai had already ordered people to prepare a room for them. Although it was not as exquisite as the one in the west courtyard, it was quite comfortable. Wang Yuanxiang looked at everything in front of her, her heart full of hatred for Yun Xin. She did not expect that Yu Yunxin would be more difficult to deal with than her first wife who died of dystocia. In the future, she must be more careful in calculations to maintain the last dignity of the Wang family. The Wang family will definitely have another top scholar in the future, and the future top scholar will be her nephew. As long as her nephew passes the exam and becomes the top scholar, he will definitely be able to hold his head high in front of his parents-in-law.

"Princess, Aunt Wang has sent more than one thousand taels of silver to the Wang family in Jiangnan these days." Yanluo said.

"This Wang family is really a blood-sucking worm that has been sucking the life out of the Yu Mansion." Qiu Shuang said angrily.

"Okay Qiu Shuang, let's go out and get some fresh air!" Yu Yunxin stretched and slowly stood up.

Qiu Shuang, who was standing by, heard this and nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Princess. I'll arrange it right away." After that, she turned around and hurried away, preparing to prepare a horse for the princess.

At this time, Hai Wang had already rushed out of Yayun Garden impatiently. He knew the princess's love for horse riding, so he went to the stable without hesitation and selected the strongest and most docile horse.

Just as Yu Yunxin stepped out of the house, she ran into Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter who were about to go out to buy things. They also seemed excited about going out, with happy smiles on their faces.

When Yu Yunxin saw them coming, she smiled slightly. She turned around gently, wearing a gorgeous dress that shone with dazzling light. Yu Yunxuan, who was standing next to Yu Yunxin, stared at her gorgeous dress with jealous sparks in her eyes.

Especially when Yu Yunxuan saw the unique headdress Yu Yunxin was wearing, she felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction. The headdress was a pair of purple and pink crystal hairpins inlaid with purple velvet flowers. It was the only one of its kind in Pinyuxuan. It shone with charming brilliance, as if showing its nobility and uniqueness to the world. Yu Yunxuan couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Why can she own such a beautiful thing?"

Finally, Yu Yunxuan couldn't suppress her inner jealousy anymore and spoke first: "Sister, are you going out of the house? Look at the way you are dressed, you are so beautiful! I wonder where you are going to show off..." There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her tone, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I have the capital to show off. Where I go is none of your business." Yu Yunxin said to Yu Yunxuan with disdain. She turned over and jumped on the horse. She and Hai Wang Yunshan quickly disappeared in front of the mother and daughter.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent, with only Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan standing there. She looked at Yu Yunxin's back as she walked away, her heart filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. So, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "I'll throw you to death, you damned little bitch!" Before she finished her words, suddenly, a clear and childish voice of a boy reached her ears.

"Amitabha, benefactor, please be careful with your words and actions." These words were like a stream of clear water, breaking the anger and anxiety in Wang Yuanxiang's heart. She turned around suddenly and her eyes fell on the little monk.

The little monk was wearing a solemn cassock, looking as solemn and dignified as the reincarnation of Buddha. His eyes were clear and bright, revealing an otherworldly aura. Wang Yuanxiang could not help but be attracted by his expression, but at the same time she was also a little surprised. Because, at that moment, she seemed to see the shadow of her deceased wife flashing in the little monk's eyes.

Was it because she was dazzled? Wang Yuanxiang rubbed her eyes, trying to determine whether she was really hallucinating. However, when she looked again, the monk's eyes were still the same, calm and peaceful. This strange feeling made her fall into deep thought, and an inexplicable feeling of awe surged in her heart.

"Wuming! Hurry up and don't delay the empress dowager from chanting sutras and praying for blessings." A kind-looking monk wearing a red and yellow plaid robe urged Wuming to hurry up.

Upon hearing this, the young monk immediately bowed to Wang Yuanxiang and returned to the group chanting sutras at Ci'an Temple.

Wang Yuanxiang was stunned by the scene just now. She took a few steps and fell straight down as if she was cast under a spell. But because it was snowing, she didn't find a stone on the ground and sat directly on it. It felt like someone stabbed her in the heart.

"Mom!" When Yu Yunxuan saw her mother, she rushed forward like an arrow from a bow, and immediately asked the two maids beside her to help her up.

"Xuan'er, help me go back home, and quickly go get a doctor." Wang Yuanxiang said, holding her waist.

When Qiu Shuang saw this at the door, she immediately went back into the mansion, "He deserves what he gets for his evil deeds!" She wanted to wait for the princess to come back and tell her this interesting news.

Yu Yunxin arrived at the door of Xinxing Cloth Shop at this moment. Before she could stand firmly on her feet, she was surrounded by a group of rich ladies and noble ladies. The scene was like a group of stars surrounding the moon. "Oh my God! The princess is so heroic!"

"Princess, you are a beautiful and kind person. The more we see you, the more we like you!"

"These days, we have all heard that you, the princess, have done a lot of good things for the disaster victims! I heard that 20% of the income from your business in the capital this month was used to comfort the disaster victims. If we don't hurry up and spend some money, it can be regarded as doing our part for the disaster victims."

"Yes! The jadeware from Pinyuxuan is as smooth as white jade, and the fabrics from Xinxing Cloth Shop are as gorgeous as the clouds in the sky. We like both of them, so naturally we want to buy more." The ladies giggled.

Yu Yunxin glanced at the crowd and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. These people were all regular customers of Pinyuxuan and Xinxing Cloth Shop. The clothes she was wearing today were all unique pieces from the cloth shop and jewelry store.
