Wen Xu had never seen Cui Xiaoxiao like this, and was stunned for a moment.

"Send this little bastard out, and don't let him in again." Cui Xiaoxiao said as she drove him out, and said coldly, "If you want to harass someone, go harass the one in the South Courtyard. I don't have time to play with you."

The maid who served Cui Xiaoxiao received the order, turned around and looked at Wen Xu and said, "Xu'er, my aunt is not very happy now, you should go back and play by yourself first, and don't come to this yard for now."

Wen Xu was naturally very disappointed after hearing this, but he still held some hope in his heart, "I will come back when Auntie feels better. Auntie has been very good to me in the past few days, I don't believe that Auntie will ignore me now."

Tianxiang looked at Wenxu's complicated expression and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she only heard Cui Xiaoxiao scolding loudly, "Useless bastard, don't come to me again. I was hoping that you could get some money from that vicious woman Song Wanning, but who knew that you are really useless and can't bring any money. Don't come to my yard again, I will beat you up every time I see you next time."

After hearing this, Wen Xu burst into tears and turned around and ran away from Cui Xiaoxiao's west courtyard.

Tianxiang turned around and felt that Cui Xiaoxiao had gone too far, so she advised, "Auntie, you spoke too harshly. I'm afraid that Xu'er will be sad."

"He deserves it. I thought he could help me so I got close to him, but he didn't live up to my expectations." Cui Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "If I hadn't bought so many good things for him, I'm afraid I would have more money now."

Wen Xu, who was standing outside the yard and eavesdropping, had a terribly gloomy face. He still remembered that when he was standing outside Song Wanning's yard and eavesdropping before, he had never heard such ugly words.

Cui Xiaoxiao, who was still cursing in the yard, didn't expect that Wen Xu would remember all her words.

Wen Tingbai in the study room at the other end also fell into a state of regret. If he had not brought Cui Xiaoxiao home, had not taken a concubine, and had not disappointed Song Wanning, he would not have been burdened with so much debt, which made him feel suffocated.

But Cui Xiaoxiao was a person who only knew how to spend money and not how to save it. She spent so much money and then forgot about it. She only remembered that he didn't buy anything for her.

Wen Tingbai felt a headache when he thought of this. He tapped his head and recalled when he was in the yard. Although Song Wanning said harsh words, her eyes were so bright and clear.

When Wen Tingbai thought of this, he felt his heart beating again.

Wen Tingbai thought that Song Wanning had never given up on him and must still have feelings for him, otherwise she would not have made such sarcastic remarks to him.

Thinking of this, Wen Tingbai's mood finally became more open, and he forgot that there was a girl in the west courtyard, Cui Xiaoxiao, whom he had loved terribly in the past and whom he wanted to marry no matter what.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Song Wanning decided to start her business.

Song Wanning remembered that Cui Xiaoxiao had opened a rouge shop before, but lost everything, so she asked Cai Que beside her, "Do you know what the rouge produced by that rouge shop is like?"

Cai Que thought for a moment and whispered, "I have inquired about it. I heard that rouge is called lipstick. It is made of good materials and is easy to use. It's a pity that Aunt Cui did not manage the business well. She went bankrupt and owed 1,000 taels of silver."

"Her idea is novel, and she will certainly not make any big mistakes. It's a pity that she doesn't have much business sense." Song Wanning thought for a moment and looked at Cai Que and said, "Now that they want to pay off their debts, they must be anxious to sell the shop. You go find someone to take over the shop, and don't let anyone know that it's us. We won't change any of the employees, we'll just change the prices and mechanisms and continue to run the business."

Cai Que looked a little worried after hearing what Song Wan Ning said, "Grandma, are you confident? This shop has lost several thousand taels of silver in Aunt Cui's hands."

"It doesn't matter. We should also learn from Aunt Cui's good ideas." Song Wanning said calmly, "The price of the shop is naturally very low now. I have other plans after I buy the shop."

Cai Que heard the words and responded, "I will do it right away."

Song Wanning was looking at the account book in the yard, but she didn't expect that Wen Xu would appear outside the yard with a food box in hand not long after. She just knelt outside and said loudly, "Xu'er greets mother."

Seeing this, Zhuque hurried forward and whispered to Song Wanning, "I heard that Xu Ge'er went to the West Courtyard just now but was turned away, so he turned around and came to our South Courtyard."

After hearing this, Song Wanning just waved her hand without any emotion, "Just let him go back and review his lessons."

Zhuque received the instructions and walked to the door and said, "Xu'er, our grandmother is busy now and has no time to see you. She just asked you to go back and review your lessons."

Wen Xu knelt on the ground. He had a good-looking appearance and looked very aggrieved. "Mother used to be the manager of the household. No matter how busy she was, she would always help me with my homework. Now she doesn't manage the household anymore. Why doesn't she care about my child?"

Seeing Wen Xu's persistence, Zhuque just made up an excuse and said, "Grandma has a lot of things to do now, even if she becomes the housekeeper, she is still busy."

Wen Xu kowtowed in the direction of Song Wanning and said, "I have always been filial to my mother. Anyway, just let me see my mother."

"This..." Zhuque felt embarrassed and turned his eyes to Song Wanning in the yard.

Song Wanning's voice reached the door, "Let him in."

After hearing this, Wen Xu stood up hurriedly and ran into the yard with the food box.

Wen Xu stood in front of Song Wanning, put the food box on the table attentively, and said with a smile, "Mom, I brought you some snacks."

"Let it go first."

Song Wanning looked at this child whom she valued so much in her previous life. At that time, she thought that she was not favored by her husband and that she could only rely on this child in the future. Who would have thought that she would end up like this.

Now when I look at my stepson, I feel terrified.

Wen Xu saw Song Wanning looking at him, so he took the initiative to speak coquettishly, "Mother, why don't you check on your child's homework these days?"

"Haven't you always disliked reading and writing?" Song Wanning continued with her work and said calmly, "I've also figured it out. Since you don't like it, I won't force you. Just do whatever you like. I don't worry about whether you can be an official in the future. This Marquis's Mansion is big and prosperous, so I'm afraid you won't starve."

"Xu'er thought that mother didn't love her anymore." Wen Xu said, pouting her lips, looking extremely aggrieved, "I carry the sachet that mother sewed for me last time with me."

Song Wanning felt angry when she thought of this sachet. She had made it with great difficulty in her previous life, but later Wen Xu threw it on the ground in front of her and stepped on it a few times, saying that it was not as interesting as the one made by Cui Xiaoxiao.

Wen Xu saw that Song Wanning's aura had turned cold, and he could only timidly ask, "What's wrong with mother?"
