Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge
Chapter 143: The uncle paid for his private money and the lady paid for her dowry
"Alas, Madam, I don't want to think about Xi Niang either, but when my father was alive, he doted on Xi Niang's aunt. Although the secrets of the tunnel and the secret room were only told to the eldest son, who knows what my father whispered to him."
"Speaking of Minister Gu, your sister and nephew have been trying to win him over, but he won't express his opinion. And Xi Niang is so close to us. People's hearts are really hidden."
Even my own brother said so, and he looked very heartbroken.
What else can Ma Xiuhua, as the sister-in-law, say?
"Uncle, you, now that you've said that, it's hard for me, as your sister-in-law, to say anything on behalf of my sister-in-law."
She was asking for advice, borrowing people, and always asking for money and things. Not only was there a sister-in-law, but there was also Gu Xianya, who relied on her beauty to show off in front of Jingjing and coveted her good nephew.
Two bitches!
Ma Xiuhua pretended to be very sad, with an expression of deep affection between the aunt and sister-in-law. She was frightened by Zhang Yuxuan's words and couldn't believe it. But when she lowered her head and covered her face pretending to be heartbroken, there was a hint of pride in the corners of her mouth and eyebrows.
"That's one of the reasons. If someone with ulterior motives sets their sights on us, we won't be able to defend ourselves."
Yes, uncle, you are right.
We need to have an attitude, so we introduced your biological sister. A concubine's sister is also a biological sister.
Uncle, you are willing to sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice. I admire you!
Ever since Gu Qianzhang became the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Xi Niang, the illegitimate sister-in-law, has been trembling in front of her. Even when she went back to her parents' home to beg for money, she was more confident than before. But her husband not only had a low official position, but also had no real power and was a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue.
My sister and my father and brothers said that not all of their relatives should hold important positions, otherwise it would be too conspicuous and would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Put the blame on my sisters-in-law and see how they can still show off in front of me.
"lady……"
Zhang Yuxuan's call of "Madam" brought Ma Xiuhua, whose thoughts were drifting away, back to reality.
"But then again. After all, this happened in our house. Whether it's things or money, we have to pay some. This is our attitude."
manner?
Isn’t it just money?
To my mother’s family and my eldest nephew, give!
"Madam, the housekeeper, knows the current situation of our family. That damn thief stole everything in the storehouse. Madam knows the current situation of our family better than I do. What do you think we should do?"
"What, what should I do?"
Are you going to sell this mansion?
If we sell this house, where will our whole family live? Should we move to a farm outside the city?
"Those things require money to buy. We can pool our money and do it slowly. But right now there is a more urgent matter."
"What?"
"It's about the Second Prince choosing a concubine soon."
"Oh."
When Ma Xiuhua heard about this, her tense nerves relaxed immediately. She then remembered that she had forgotten about the big event because of the thief in the house.
"The Seventh Prince has also returned to the capital this time. The Emperor wants to find a time to select a concubine before the end of the year. All adult princes will have a chance. Those who don't have a principal wife will definitely choose a concubine. Those who already have a principal wife will also have to choose a concubine if there is a vacancy. Our Jingjing is good in everything except the scar on her forehead. Although her hair can cover it up, everyone in the capital knows about it."
The child was naughty when he was young, and the servants were not careful, so he got a scratch. Fortunately, the scar was not big, and it was just covered by the hair on the forehead. But Zhang Xianya was a talkative person and told others about it at a flower viewing banquet.
Afterwards, her sister-in-law Zhang Xiniang severely punished Xianya in front of her and Jingjing, but the little girl said she did not mean it.
Whether it was intentional or not, the old fox in the backyard could not see any clues. It was just the face between relatives, and Gu Qianzhang was the Minister of Revenue, the immediate superior of the Earl, so they endured it.
Now I heard that there seems to be something wrong with my sister-in-law and her daughter’s faces.
It would be better if there was a problem.
Deserve it.
Never mind them.
I must find that special scar removal cream for Jingjing.
If Jingjing didn't have that scar...
Where to find special scar removal cream?
The person who bought the scar removal cream paid a lot of money for it.
So after finding it...
It all comes down to money.
"Originally, I wanted to ask someone to find out who bought the bottle of scar cream, but I don't have any money. Even if I find out, I can't ask the other party. Since we got married, I have given all my private money to my wife. Now I am anxious and helpless."
Uncle's private money?
When they got married, he gave his wife a few unprofitable shops and a half-dead farm. Only that farm could grow something, enough to feed the family.
Now let’s talk about private money.
Spend the master’s private money on your daughter, give it to her!
Before Ma Xiuhua could reply, Zhang Yuxuan started to blame himself again:
"It's all my fault. I have no ability, no achievements in the officialdom, and no ability to manage finances, which makes you worry and work hard. Madam, please use all my private savings to buy ointment for Jingjing. No matter what, you can't hinder our daughter's future."
"Alas, it's hard to explain to the Imperial Concubine and the Second Prince. I'll be thankful that my little private money is enough for just one thing. If I buy scar cream, I won't be able to replace the things in the secret room. If I replace the things in the secret room, I won't be able to buy scar cream. With just that little money...why don't you sell me...ah..."
As Zhang Yuxuan spoke, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking as if he hated himself for being incompetent.
When he was about to burst into tears, Ma Xiuhua spoke up: "Uncle, don't be like this, you are also doing this for our family. We are husband and wife as one, you can think about our children, and I can also think about our family. Let's find a solution together."
"Ma'am, what can I do? I-I can sell our house, it will still be worth some money."
"No need to sell the house. I'll gather my dowry and see what I can come up with. I originally wanted to give it to Jingjing as a dowry. We all hope that she will marry into the royal family, and it would not look good if the dowry was too little. But now, we can only take care of the present."
My dear lady, I have been waiting for your words.
As a husband, Zhang Yuxuan knew how much Ma Xiuhua's dowry was. Over the years, there were also many good things given by the imperial concubine, which was not a small amount.
Anyway, he is better than his uncle.
The wife agreed, so the money was settled. And someone was also chosen to take the blame.
My dear, even though I blame you for being cruel, there is nothing I can do about it.
The things were lost, and I really can't make up for it. The people above said that if I can win over my brother-in-law, my sins can be offset by half.
If my brother-in-law is sensible and helps the second prince, we can still be a family.
Zhang Yuxuan saw that his wife didn't even sleep, and was busy moving out a small box. He knew that there were house deeds and land deeds, as well as his wife's dowry list.
