Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

She spoke too quickly and couldn't catch her breath. She coughed several times. The first lady came over to help her catch her breath and looked at the second lady reproachfully, saying:

"Sister, you are the same. You know that mother is not in good health, but you still make her angry. If mother gets hurt... Mother, sister is just angry at the moment, don't take it to heart. Sister stays in the mansion every day, never goes out of the main door or the secondary door, and doesn't need a housekeeper, so it's understandable that she is not clear about the current social situation. Erlang is her son, can she harm him? She just got anxious and contradicted you, please calm down!"

As he said this, he winked at the Second Lady, asking her to apologize to the old lady. The Second Lady looked on coldly. She had endured for so many years, and finally waited for her son to get married. They had a very good relationship, which made her feel relieved. But seeing that some people just didn't want them to live a good life, how could she, as a mother, not be anxious.

Lin Yuxi is the younger generation, and is two levels apart from them. There are some things that he would rather handle himself than let her bear the stigma of being unfilial at such a young age.

Thinking of this, the second wife remained unmoved.

The old lady looked at her stubborn appearance and was angry again. After finally calming down, she snorted coldly:

"How could I do that? I dare not accept her gift. I know you are angry and blame me for not trusting you. You are the daughter-in-law I picked myself. How could I harm you? I did that for your own good. Look, you are so stubborn and unwilling to yield. How can you manage all the big and small businesses? Do you think I don't want to enjoy my life and play with my grandchildren?

I am not so lucky. My husband passed away when my son was four years old. It was not easy for me as a widow with two sons. If I didn't want to protect your family wealth, would I have worked so hard for half my life? You are so good. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness, but you also ridicule me. In your heart, do you regard me as your mother-in-law? You look down on me because I am a widow and you are so cold to me. I... I have a miserable life!"

The old lady screamed at the top of her voice, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Yuxi's mouth twitched. She really underestimated this old lady. Her eloquence was no worse than the second wife's. She could even make the dead look alive. No matter what the reason was, it was wrong for the mother-in-law to occupy the dowry of her daughter-in-law. She even said that she was afraid that the second wife would squander the family wealth, so she had no choice but to help her keep it. It was really ridiculous.

The second wife was born into a merchant family and was said to be a business expert. She helped run the family business at a young age. Would such a woman squander the family fortune?

Besides, the dowry belonged to the Second Wife, and it was the Second Wife's business to squander it all, so how could it be any problem for her?

She even said it in a high-sounding way.

The first lady seemed to be pleading for the second lady, but in fact she accused the second lady of being disobedient to her mother-in-law and being unfilial. Lin Yuxi couldn't help but look at the first lady twice more.

The Second Madam had a sneer on her lips, but she still spoke in the end. However, her tone was still indifferent. Yang Chenchuan was her bottom line, and she only cared about everything about him. If others wanted to plot against him and his wife, don't blame her for turning her back on them.

"What are you talking about, mother? When has your wife ever looked down on you? When have I ever blamed you? When you asked me for the contract, did I ever say no? When have I ever disobeyed you in all these years? It's all up to you, mother. I don't have a single complaint. You know all these things, the first lady knows, the second lady knows, and even the master knows."

The Second Lady's words were not convincing, but they were all true. The Old Lady could not find any fault with them. Over the years, the Second Lady was indeed very tolerant. She ignored everything and always responded to requests.

In fact, in the old lady's heart, she still sympathized with the second wife, but...

Who could understand her painstaking efforts? Did she think she was the only one who loved Chuan'er? As a grandmother, she loved him too. Could she possibly harm her own grandson?

She always thought about Chuan'er in everything, but this only earned her contempt and complaints. The old lady felt very upset, but when she thought about it, her life was not easy. Her youngest son drowned, and her eldest son was weak and left her at a young age.

Thinking of the Second Madam's suffering, the old lady slowly calmed down. However, the look she gave the Second Madam was no longer the same as before, but rather strong. She said:

"Forget it, forget it. I don't care about your things. I know you love Chuan'er, but you can't keep him by your side forever. A man should have his own career when he grows up. Otherwise, how will outsiders see the descendants of our Yang family?"

"Then what do you think, Yiniang, should we do?" The Second Madam took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"Chuan'er is my grandson, how could I harm him? Now I am also relying on my face and considering his future, I am marrying him off to another wife. The Chen family is a big family with three generations of officials. With their support, not only will it provide a strong backing for the master, but Chuan'er's official career will also be fast-tracked.

You are a woman, you should know how to plan for your man's future." The old lady calmed down, persuaded her earnestly, and analyzed the situation with her.

Future? Career?

The Second Lady wanted to sneer when she heard this. As a mother, she would definitely want her son to have a good future, and becoming an official is the best way out. If Chuan'er had that ability, she should be relieved.

However, this is not the way to do it. Chuan'er has been extremely smart since he was young and has a kind nature. She believes that Chuan'er can have a good future with his own strength. She is absolutely unwilling to exchange his future in this way.

Not to mention her, even Yang Chenchuan was unwilling to do so.

No one knows a child better than his mother. How can a mother not know what her son is thinking?

He and Yuxi are like this, so they will definitely not tolerate concubines. Having too many women will never be a good thing, and she doesn't want Yuxi to suffer any injustice.

What's more, based on her experience, it would be strange if he just married Chen Ying'er. There must be other things involved.

If she agreed, she would be committing a sin!

Now that things have come to this, everyone is a smart person. Even if the old lady didn't say who that family was, they could all guess that it was Chen Ying'er.

Lin Yuxi felt it was strange at first. Chen Ying'er, who usually loved to watch the fun at the Yang family, was not there today for the first time. It turned out that someone was speaking up for her and was not willing to show up because of her marriage.

The second lady's eyes flashed with disappointment. She looked at the old lady and said:

"Madam, what virtue and ability does my wife have? To be honest, isn't the first lady's family a big family with three generations of officials? Mr. Cao is even the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Compared with the first lady, my wife is even more insignificant. What's more, the eldest son is the eldest son and grandson. When it comes to the future, the eldest son should be the priority. Only when the eldest brother has a way out can he lead the younger brothers, right?"

The Second Lady no longer called her mother, but called her Madam, and it was obvious how disheartened she was.

Lin Yuxi pursed her lips. Isn't that right? Logically speaking, Yang Chenxi is the eldest son and grandson, and there should be order of seniority. It would be better to focus on the eldest son first, otherwise he would be blamed later.

She subconsciously looked at the first wife, and saw that the smile on her face froze for a moment, but soon recovered. She smiled gently and said to the second wife: "Sister, what are you talking about? Although Chen Xi is the eldest son and grandson, he is not the kind of person who would take away someone's favorite. I can save you from it, so you don't have to worry about me."

The second wife's eyes were slightly cold, and she snorted: "What a way to take away someone's favorite. My son is innocent and has no private relationship with such a shameless woman. What the first wife said is unreasonable."
