Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

"I'll ask Brother Qing and the others to apologize on my behalf." Old Madam Zhou thought to herself that if you are a man of great ambition, you should quit while you are ahead.

So as to avoid losing face.

Her intention of bringing up Brother Qing and the others was to warn Su Rutang, saying that you are a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and you rely on the Zhou family members in the mansion to make a living.

Su Rutang seemed not to hear.

Just whispered:

"Madam, please hire someone else. I really have limited ability and can only use my own dowry to fill the gap."

"I'm afraid that in just one or two years, I will have to go back to the Su family to ask my grandmother and aunt for money. At that time, it will be difficult for my husband to live in the court."

Murong Feiyue clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

His face was slightly stagnant, and he bit his lip:

"Sister-in-law, how can you let my second brother be targeted in the court? Those censors are nitpicking and would like to crawl under the official's bed to listen to his stories."

Look how nervous she is.

Su Rutang felt nauseous.

The widowed sister-in-law and her brother-in-law disregarded human ethics and secretly gave birth to several children.

In her previous life, she was blind and heartless.

Live again.

She wanted to make them climb high and fall low, with no one to rely on.

In this life, I live only for revenge.

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Those who know will say that sister-in-law cares about brother-in-law, while those who don't will think that sister-in-law has been caught by the censors and is jealous. Don't cause unnecessary trouble to your husband."

Murong Feiyue felt guilty and a feeling of shame swept over her body.

Like being struck by lightning.

"Brother and sister, you..."

"Sister-in-law, I speak my mind. Please don't take it to heart. I am also worried about my husband's future. After all, he will be promoted in the next one or two years."

As soon as these words came out.

Old Madam Zhou quickly sat up straight.

"Are you serious? Did your father-in-law say that?"

"I heard that's what my grandfather meant."

Su Rutang sat back in her chair, “Now is a critical moment, I must not affect my husband’s future.

There are so many noble families eyeing that position, and our family has little influence, so we must be careful."

Madam Zhou was overjoyed and said, "It's natural."

Murong Feiyue gritted her teeth. She was insulted by Su Rutang for no reason.

That old woman didn't react at all. Did she forget the merit she had done in getting the chastity arch for the Zhou family?

Su Rutang smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Madam, I really don't deserve this family."

Madam Zhou thought about it again and again, and calculated for a while. She said in a deep voice:

"Let Wen Yi come over."

"Yes." The maid responded and retreated.

Not long after, Zhou Wenyi came over in a hurry.

"grandmother."

"Mother."

"aunt."

Zhou Wenyi greeted them one by one.

Madam Zhou nodded.

"Brother Yi, calculate how much dowry your mother has given you over the years?"

Zhou Wenyi responded, took the account book and sat aside. A servant had already prepared an abacus.

"A total of eight thousand three hundred and sixty-six taels."

Madam Zhou felt a pang of pain in her heart.

So much silver?

For Chengru's future, it must be made up, and Su Rutang can take it out later.

That girl is honest and simple-minded.

Just take some casual words of comfort seriously.

She had no choice but to take out the money that Su Rutang had given her over the years, as well as the gifts given to her by everyone who supported the Su family on her birthday.

Thinking of this, she said, "Rutang, I will give you 5,000 taels of silver first, and I will definitely make up the rest by the end of this year."

"You will still be in charge of the household affairs of the mansion. The income from the fields and shops of the eldest house will belong to the public. From now on, your sister-in-law will have enough to live on with her monthly salary."

Murong Feiyue didn't expect that he would use her as a target?

She stood up abruptly.

Urgently said:

"What? That's for me to collect rent."

"You're a widow, isn't twenty taels of silver a month enough?" Old Madam Zhou said in an unfriendly tone, and all the granddaughters-in-law wanted to take advantage of her.

Murong Feiyue's eyes were red and she felt depressed.

"Ma'am, I just don't understand."

Su Rutang smiled:

"A wise ruler must carefully maintain harmony, regulate the flow, open the source, and consider it from time to time... Even the ancients understood this principle, why don't you understand it?"

Zhou Wenyi paused.

A woman brought up by aristocratic family.

His knowledge was incomparable to that of his biological mother. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said:

"That's what mother meant by increasing income and reducing expenditure. The same is true for growing vegetables in the garden..."

Murong Feiyue hummed:

"Instead of cutting costs, it is better to increase revenue. Since you are cutting costs, why only cut off the income from my shop and farm?"

She was indignant.

Su Rutang still explained in a gentle tone:

"The old lady sympathizes with my sister-in-law and gives her twenty taels of monthly salary, but this is only given to the old ladies and wives of the dukes and marquises."

"Those who have shops and land usually have children... On this point, my eldest sister-in-law and eldest brother don't have any children."

Murong Feiyue's heart sank. She had a child, but the father was someone else.

She didn't dare let others know that she was the child's biological mother.

"Ah. If the sister-in-law is unwilling to tide over the difficulties with the Zhou family, then..."

Before she finished speaking, Madam Zhou's face darkened.

Sharp voice:

"Just do as I say. This is really rebellious. Everyone wants to hide the silver in their own private vaults. Those who are not willing, get out."

Murong Feiyue quickly stood up and bent her knees.

Tears welled up in my eyes. As a widow, I didn't need to visit my parents morning and night.

The old lady had never said a harsh word to me, and I could live on the farm for a few months every year.

The hatred running in her blood was suppressed.

Only a slight grievance opened his lips:

"Old lady."

Old Madam Zhou pressed her eyebrows to stop her from speaking.

She waved her hand, and Su Ying beside her took the order and went to the inner room to get out a stack of silver bills.

Su Ying handed over the banknote, "Second Madam, this is from the old lady."

Su Rutang took a step back.

"Is this money given to me by the old lady, or is it to pay back the dowry money I paid in? There must be a rule to explain it. I dare not take the money casually."

Old Madam Zhou noticed that something was wrong with Su Rutang, and that he was no longer as docile and obedient as usual.

Suppressing his anger, he said:

"You are a sensible woman of the clan. You naturally understand that this is to pay back your dowry. I will definitely not let you make up for it."

"Thank you, madam."

Su Rutang signaled Qiu Ling to accept it.

After Qiu Ling accepted it, she said, "Second Madam, here is a five thousand tael silver note. I will write a receipt stating that there are still three thousand three hundred and sixty-six taels of silver that have not been paid."

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she had a headache.

Murong Feiyue looked at Su Rutang even more coldly. What kind of love potion did this stupid woman take?

Why have you been doing all these inappropriate things these past two days?

"We are all family, why are you just joking?" Old Madam Zhou tried to evade the question.

Su Rutang spoke with a smile, his demeanor distant.

"It's better to make it clear. If someone slanders my husband in the future, I can slap the account book in his face."

The old lady was angry. Su Rutang kept holding on to the silver and refused to let go, even though he always said he was thinking about Zhou Chengru.

It's hard to find fault with.

Madam Zhou felt a thorn in her heart. "Forget it, just write it."

She made the excuse that she was too tired and asked Suying to help her go to the inner room to rest.

After Qiu Ling finished writing, she gave it to Su Rutang to take a look.

"Let Brother Yi sign as a witness."

"How can we let Brother Yi be a witness?" Murong Feiyue felt something was not right and quickly stood up to question.

She selfishly thought about getting away with it in the future.

Su Rutang looked indifferent, "Thank you for your concern, Sister-in-law. Why can't I let my son be a witness?

In the future, Brother Yi will take the imperial examination and enter the court. These are all small matters.”

Murong Feiyue felt ashamed and angry.

It's obviously his son.

But the bitch Su Rutang claimed the child as hers and took away her husband, her son and her daughter.

How can you not hate it?

"He is so young? How can he sign casually?"

"My nephew Yuan Ge'er is two years younger than Yi Ge'er, and he was able to sign as a witness. Aristocratic families never look at the age of their children when training them.

I think my sister-in-law was born in a small place, so naturally she has never seen the rules of aristocratic families. It is normal that she does not know what the children of aristocratic families have learned... "

Murong Feiyue was so angry that she went crazy.

What she hated most was Su Rutang's look of having seen the world.

Obviously, she came to Zhou's house first...

She first met Zhou Chengru...

Zhou Wenyi bowed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Mother is right. I have to learn the rules of the noble family so as not to bring shame to the Zhou and Su mansions in the future."

I see that Zhou Wenyi is very young.

Yet he could resist acknowledging his own mother and still spoke in a calm tone.

Su Rutang thought of his brothers. In their previous life, they were very friendly and respectful to each other. It would be interesting to make them quarrel with each other in this life.

Su Rutang had no intention of greeting them.

"Sister-in-law, I still have to go and clean up the yard and find a concubine for my husband. I won't stay to talk to you in private."

Say it.

Ignore Murong Feiyue's ferocious face.

She led Qiu Ling away.

Go outside and pass through the hanging flower gate.

Qiu Ling couldn't help but speak up for him: "Second Madam, why did the Second Master take another concubine? This is too much of a bully. He hasn't stayed in Chuitang Courtyard since his wedding."

"Qiu Ling, don't say too much."

In his previous life, Su Rutang thought Zhou Chengru was his benefactor and only thought about him.

She wanted to leave him a legitimate son, and was also willing to raise his concubine's son.

In this life, she only wanted to kill her enemies.

Killing people, what a simple thing.

What Su Rutang wanted was not to let them die happily, but to make the three words "Zhou Chengru" despised by the world.

We also want to make the Zhou family ashamed of them, make them lose everything and then die slowly.

"Mother."

The word "mother" brought Su Rutang back to his senses.

Zhou Qiongyu and her maid Zao'er stood in front, and she bent her knees slightly.

"Qiong Yu, you've come just in time. I'll be coming of age next year, and noble ladies have been learning to be housekeepers since they were young. How about you learn to be a housekeeper from me starting tomorrow?"
