The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

The day after the banquet, the old lady summoned everyone to gather in the front hall. After everyone was present, the old lady directly announced the decision - to expel Song Qianyu from the house.

The old lady said in a calm tone without any emotion: "From today on, Wang Xiaomei, you are not allowed to use the name Song Qianyu anymore. Considering the friendship of the past two years, I will give you fifty taels, and you are not allowed to take any needle or thread from the rest of the mansion. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the Zhenbei Marquisate. I will declare to the outside world that you pretended to be a distant relative and came to seek refuge. Now that the truth has been revealed, you are expelled from the mansion. You can take care of yourself!"

Song Qianyu, oh no! Wang Xiaomei didn’t expect the old lady to drive her away, she knelt down and begged not to drive her away.

Wang Xiaomei's original plan was to stay in the Marquis' Mansion and rely on the help of Prince Huai to help her win the position of the Second Prince's Consort.

By then, the power of her two families, the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince of Huai's Mansion, will be enough for her to secure her position as the Second Prince's Consort.

She somewhat regretted that she should have held back and should not have caused trouble for Song Qianxue. Those words must have been heard by the old lady and the others at that time.

However, she did not care much about the Marquis' Mansion. After all, being the daughter of Prince Huai was much better than being the daughter of the Marquis. But she could only get fifty taels of silver if she left the Marquis' Mansion. How could she be willing to do that?

The Marquis's Mansion is so wealthy nowadays, and she knows it all very well. Not to mention the old lady's wealth, even the opera house opened by Song Chengzhou makes a fortune every day.

In order to get more money and to be able to enter and leave the opera house as usual in the future, she doesn't mind playing a miserable role.

Having made up her mind, Wang Xiaomei immediately knelt down and cried, "Grandmother, father, mother, brothers, please don't chase me away. Am I not the daughter of the Marquisate? Why are you chasing me away? Are you chasing me away just to make way for Song Qianxue, the future second imperial concubine?"

Song Boyan hated women crying the most, and he didn't know what to say about such things, so he could only drink tea and keep silent.

Song Chengyan was quite annoyed with this little sister Wang. Since the day she entered the Marquis' Mansion, everything involved his elder sister, and there was never a peaceful day.

Song Chengzhou didn't know why he didn't like Wang Xiaomei when he first met her. Now he finally understood that this person was not only narrow-minded but also vicious. She could even kill her own parents and brother. Fortunately, this kind of person had nothing to do with their Marquis' Mansion, otherwise he really couldn't stand having such a vicious sister.

Song Chengyi didn't care how Wang Xiaomei cried. He was so happy that this troublemaker was finally going to go away. Every time he went out, he would pick a fight with his eldest sister and the others, which caused him to be scolded by his grandmother as well.

If Jiang had not learned that Wang Xiaomei had killed her own relatives, perhaps she would have really been moved with compassion and taken her in. However, her mother-in-law was right. This person was too scheming, and keeping her in the mansion would not be good for her brothers and sisters.

Jiang advised kindly: "Little sister Wang, since you know that you are not a child of the Marquis's Mansion, this money is enough for you to live a good life. You should leave the mansion today!"

Wang Xiaomei complained: "How can you be so cruel? The Marquis's Mansion is so rich, but you only gave me fifty taels. Are you treating me like a beggar?"

Song Chengyi was speechless. Ever since he took over all of his grandmother's businesses, he realized that a worker's wages for a month's hard work were only one or two taels of silver, and some workers earned even less than one or two taels.

Wang Xiaomei actually said that fifty taels was enough to send off a beggar. It turned out that the Huahou Mansion was used to spending money lavishly, so it looked down on fifty taels.

The old lady looked at Wang Xiaomei while she was holding her Buddhist beads and asked, "What do you want?"

Wang Xiaomei knew that the Marquis' Mansion would not keep her, so after thinking for a while, she said, "The Marquis' Mansion is making countless money from the opera house now, and I don't want more. Just give me one million, and from now on, I will be even with the Marquis' Mansion..."

No one expected that Wang Xiaomei would ask for so much, and no one knew where she got the confidence from.

The old lady was so angry that she almost laughed. She said sarcastically: "We are even? When did the Marquisate owe you anything? How can we say we are even? It's the Marquisate that has spent a lot of money to support you in the past two years..."

Song Chengyi also said: "That's right, take the opera house for example, you went there almost every day during this period, and the ticket fee alone was nearly 200,000 yuan, Wang Xiaomei, stop while you're ahead!"

Wang Xiaomei immediately retorted: "I also participated in the planning of the opera house, so I should at least get a share of the profits, right? They both got dividends, so it's fine if they don't give me any dividends, but at least they should let me in for free for life, right?"

Song Chengyi was so angry that he almost laughed. He said unhappily, "The two of them got dividends because they invested in the company. You didn't give them a dime. How dare you ask for dividends? Even the eldest and second brothers didn't get dividends, let alone you, an outsider..."

The old lady didn't want to bother any more, so she interrupted, "Okay, there's nothing more to say. I still say the same thing. Apart from the fifty taels, you can't take anything else away, Nanny Lin! Take her out..."

Nanny Lin waved her hand, and several old maids came forward and lifted up Wang Xiaomei. Just as they were about to drag her out, Xiaomei broke free from her restraints and knelt in front of Song Chengyi.

"Third brother, have you forgotten that I blocked a knife for you when you were kidnapped? Just for this, shouldn't you give me one million taels?"

Song Chengyi hesitated for a moment. Song Qianning, who had seen enough of the excitement, smiled faintly: "You could have avoided it at the beginning, but you deliberately tilted your head to make Third Brother feel sorry for you. That's why you rushed all the way back to the Marquis' Mansion. The doctor just applied medicine and bandaged it and it was no longer a big deal. But after all, you were indeed injured. Let's put it this way! I'll give you one hundred taels, plus the fifty taels, a total of one hundred and fifty taels, which is enough for your future life. Listen to my advice, don't see anyone after you leave the Marquis' Mansion, follow the path that the Taoist taught you, and maybe you can really live a peaceful life..."

Wang Xiaomei took the banknote, looked at them angrily, and yelled: "Don't think I care about your mansion. Do you really think that I will be helpless if I leave the mansion? I am the daughter of the Huaiwang. When I regain my status as the daughter of the Huaiwang Mansion, I can marry the second prince. The concubine sent someone to personally assure me that the second prince's principal wife will always be mine in the future. You just wait and regret it!"

Everyone looked at Wang Xiaomei like she was an idiot. Prince Huai and Concubine Shu were both in a difficult situation, yet she was still trying to get in on the act. However, the emperor hadn't made any move yet, so they didn't dare to speak out.

Putting aside the fact that Wang Xiaomei hired people to burn her family to death, Song Qianning still missed the days when the four of them played around. After all, Wang Xiaomei's family was indeed greedy.

Thinking of this, Song Qianning kindly reminded: "You said you are the daughter of Prince Huai, what does that have to do with Concubine Shu? You have a pig brain, if you want to live in peace in this life, stay away from Prince Huai..."

Wang Xiaomei sneered: "A road to wealth and glory is right in front of me, why should I stay away from it?"

Song Qianxue couldn't bear it after all, and advised: "Didn't you say that you firmly believed in the Taoist's words? Your true love, your many children and grandchildren, maybe he is really a businessman?"

"Naive, I was just pretending at that time so that Third Brother and the others would think I was sincere. Besides, the Taoist priest said that the right fate is to go through many twists and turns and become rich when you are old. If there is no way, then so be it. But now there is a shortcut to wealth and power, why should I suffer? I can't enjoy it when I am young, and I can enjoy it when I am about to die. I am not stupid. Now there is a better way in front of me, so why should I choose this way?"

Song Qianning knew that it was useless to say more, so she said to her in the end: "Then I wish you get what you want!"

"Yes! I also wish you get what you want..." The old lady said this and left.

"I hope you get what you want..."

Song Boyan stood up and left after saying a few words. Jiang looked at Wang Xiaomei and said nothing more, then also stood up and left.

"You have finally gotten what you wished for..." Song Chengyan said these four words and left.

"What I wished for..." Song Chengzhou said briefly and left.

What Song Chengyi said was: "I wish you peace..."

Song Qianning and Song Qianxue followed their third brother and left. Wang Xiaomei was the only one left in the huge front hall. Nanny Lin signaled with a look and several maids hurriedly dragged them out.

Wang Xiaomei yelled: "You guys are so arrogant, just wait for me..."
