"Jiang Luo saved Princess Jing? How is that possible..." Jiang Yin shouted.

Liu said, "How is it impossible? Princess Jing's thank-you gift has been delivered, it's your turn to comment. Yin'er, be careful of your words."

Qin quickly winked at Jiang Yin, and Jiang Yin covered her mouth.

She glanced at Liu and then pulled Jiang Yin into the mansion.

Liu also held Mother Zhao's hand and walked towards the mansion.

I thought to myself that Qin's mother and daughter only do things that are not worthy of being shown in public.

Jiang Yin followed Qin all the way to Chunhua Courtyard, and then she asked, "Mother, did Jiang Luo really save Princess Jing?"

Qin nodded and said, "Princess Jing came to the Duke's Mansion this morning and brought a thank-you gift. It must be true."

Jiang Yin angrily threw the handkerchief in her hand and sat down on the round stool.

"The bitch is lucky." She said grimly.

"Okay, this is also good for you, why are you angry?" Qin coaxed her.

Jiang Yin looked at her puzzledly: "What does mother mean?"

"Think about it, Jiang Luo has won the favor of Princess Jing now. The more benefits she gets in the future, can I still let her take it away? It will still fall on you..." Qin advised confidently.

Jiang Yin relaxed her frown upon hearing this.

She hugged Qin's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother is really thoughtful. You think of everything for me."

Qin scratched her nose and said angrily, "If I don't think about you, who else can I think about?"

She looked out the door with deep eyes.

She doesn't need to worry about Huai'er, because he is Jiang Zhou's only legitimate son, and the entire Duke's Mansion and title will be passed on to him.

There is only Yin'er, and she wants to fight for more things for Yin'er.

If something happens someday, it will make her life easier...

The mother and daughter were talking in a whisper in the room when Mei Qing's voice rang out from outside the door. She reported, "Madam, Madam Qin and Miss Cousin are here."

Who else could it be? Her sister-in-law Zhou...

Qin frowned immediately when she heard this.

The eldest brother has been released, what is Zhou doing here?

She looked at Jiang Yin and said, "Please let them in."

"Yes, ma'am."

After a while, Zhou came slowly with Qin Ying'er.

"Ying'er greets my aunt." Qin Ying'er bowed and saluted.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. Ying'er, please get up quickly." Qin suppressed her impatience and entertained her warmly.

Zhou followed her hand and sat aside.

Jiang Yin also stood up and said, "Yin'er, hello to my aunt and cousin."

Zhou quickly held her hand and said with a smile, "Look, Yin'er is getting more and more beautiful. No wonder your cousin Wen keeps talking about her at home..."

"Sister-in-law! How is brother?" Qin interrupted her.

It's really unruly.

After all, she is the wife of a fifth-rank official, but she is too ignorant.

After all these years, Zhou still hasn't made any progress.

Zhou was not angry either.

Her Wen'er has always been fond of Jiang Yin, but unfortunately she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion and her Wen'er cannot afford her.

But Aunt Qin is here, so it’s okay to think about it, right?

"Alas... although your elder brother has been released from prison and saved his life, I don't know if he can still be qualified for the position of Shangshulang." Zhou replied.

After saying that, she glanced at Qin again and complained, "He was also fined half a year's salary. You know, life in the mansion is already difficult. Although his salary is not much, it can be of some use. But now he is idle at home, and he has to take care of the officialdom these days..."

Qin Ying'er, who was standing behind Zhou, blushed in embarrassment because of what she said.

It’s about arranging official affairs again!

Ever since her elder brother became the Shangshu Lang, almost all the money he needed to manage the officialdom came from her.

It didn't matter in the past, she always thought about Wu's dowry, so she didn't have to worry about the two children.

But now... now that little bitch has taken back all the huge dowry, and she can’t touch the money in her hands.

At least, it cannot be touched until the dowry is taken back.

Qin rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, I also know that my elder brother and his wife are in a difficult situation. If I had more money, I would not be stingy with this little money."

Then she cried, "But now... Huai'er is poisoned. In order to detoxify and cure him, I have nothing left..."

When Zhou heard this, she would never believe her.

How could there be no silver and money in this huge Duke's Mansion with carved beams and painted buildings and piles of gold and jade?

Besides, don't think she doesn't know that this sister-in-law is holding the dowry of the previous lady.

She sighed and said, "Oh, it's hard... For so many years, the Qin family has been following your lead and listening to you in everything. Now your eldest brother... the Qin family is counting on him!"

Qin felt relieved when she heard this.

Who made her have such a brainless brother Qin who insisted on becoming an official?

She thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, just wait a little longer. We will close the accounts soon. Then I will give the Qin family an extra 10% of the profits from those shops."

How could Zhou be unwilling when she heard this?

The Wu family's shops were all located in good locations and they all made money.

An extra 10% would be enough to cover the Qin family's expenses for a year.

She smiled and said, "It's still my sister who cares about your brother."

Qin really wanted to roll her eyes at her.

And Jiang Yin really did so, and Qin Ying'er's face suddenly became even redder with embarrassment.

If my father had some ability, why would he always let my mother come to my aunt's place... to beg for money?

She was ashamed of her father.

Zhou sat for a while, then, using the excuse that she had something to do at home, she took Qin Ying'er out of Chunhua Courtyard.

Qin could only be angry, there was nothing she could do.

The two of them left Chunhua Courtyard and walked towards the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Halfway through the journey, they heard the maids passing by talking and saying, "Did you see that? The two boxes of jewelry that Princess Jing gave to the eldest lady today were all gifts from the palace!"

"Really? Then it must be very valuable." Another maid said enviously.

"Of course. This is what Princess Jing said. She wanted the young lady to play with it every day. Look, she can just play with the things given by the palace. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." said another maid sourly.

"One of them is the Princess of Jing, and the other is the eldest daughter. We can't compare with them. Let's get to work!" The maid who had been silent interrupted them and said.

"Ah..." The maids sighed in disappointment and scattered like birds and beasts.

Qin Ying'er felt extremely sad when she heard these words.

Yes, there are differences between young ladies.

I wish I were Jiang Luo.

The dowry her mother left her was enough for her to live a worry-free life.

Now that she has hooked up with Princess Jing, good things are flowing into her mind.

I heard from my cousin Yin that Princess Jing seemed to like Jiang Luo very much and even invited her to visit the palace often.

Qin Ying'er tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her five finger joints turned white, and her eyes were filled with jealousy.

Jiang Luo, who was envied by others, was walking towards Jiang Yin's Jinxiu Courtyard with Ren Dong and Mother Wu after lunch...
