Shengjing Noble

Therefore, she thought that no matter who was the housekeeper, she could live a life of luxury and be the head of the family.

Besides, she had long disliked Lu Wanjun, so she took the opportunity to seize the power of housekeeper to establish her authority, so that this little bitch wouldn't always take advantage of her mother's family's money to bully others in the mansion!

She said disdainfully, "Did you see that? My eldest daughter-in-law is ambitious and my second daughter-in-law is filial. They are both much better than you, a lowly concubine born to a treacherous merchant. Yongcheng was really blind to marry you!"

"You always talk about the trivial matter of supporting my son's education. Why don't you take a piss and look at your own moral character? If it weren't for my son's help, how could a lowly person like you set foot in this prosperous place of Shengjing?"

"From now on, the Su family will be ruled by my two sons' wives. If you dare to act arrogant again, I will make you, your three useless sons, and this little bitch get out of the Su family!"

How could Lu Wanjun tolerate such humiliation and immediately started cursing.

But before he could open his mouth, Su Lanyin grabbed his arm tightly, and he could only hear her squeeze out a word from between her lips in a very light voice.

"faint!"

"Uh?"

Lu Wanjun didn't understand.

"Faint!" Su Lanyin repeated in a low voice.

She was hesitating in her heart, but she heard Su Yongcheng speak coldly.

"Lu Wanjun, do you know you are wrong? Look how angry you made your mother. And this rebellious girl you raised is so abominable. Come, punish them..."

Su Yongcheng had just finished his words when Lu Wanjun's eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.

"Mom! What's wrong with you? Someone come quickly, my mom has fainted from anger..."

Su Lanyin called out loudly in panic, and Cuizhu and her maid quickly ran over to help.

A group of people hurriedly carried Lu Wanjun away from Wanshou Pavilion.

The Su family was stunned by this sudden incident. By the time they reacted, the mother and daughter had disappeared.

……

Three days later, Muyun Pavilion.

Lu Wanjun lowered her head, the golden abacus in her hand clacking away, and she stared seriously at every expenditure and income item in the booklet.

Su Lanyin was leaning on the soft couch beside her, reading a medical book.

She inherited a talent from her maternal grandparents and was born sensitive to smells. For her, she could tell the effect of any spice just by smelling it.

It’s a pity that this talent was wasted in the previous life.

In this life, she not only needs to learn how to make perfumes, but also needs to study medicine, combine the two, and make good use of the skills bestowed on her by God.

There were footsteps outside the door, and it was Cuizhu who came to announce, "Auntie, Sixth Miss, the main room is very lively today."

The mother and daughter asked in unison without even looking up: "How lively is it?"

Cuizhu quickly replied, "After Li Lanxiang took the key to the treasury, she withdrew more than three hundred taels from the account book, saying that she wanted to buy some supplements for Su Yaozu to calm his nerves. When the old lady heard that it was for her grandson, she didn't take it seriously. As a result... Hahaha..."

Before she could finish her words, the little girl burst out laughing.

Lu Wanjun stopped working on the abacus and looked up, eagerly asking, "What's the result? Tell me!"

Cuizhu covered her stomach and said, "Liu Ruyan went to check the accounts and found out that there were only more than 300 taels of silver in the treasury. There are still more than ten days left in the month, and the old lady doesn't even have money to buy medicine, hahaha..."

Su Lanyin was not surprised, she just smiled faintly, raised her eyes and asked, "Liu Ruyan has always been aloof, why did she check the bank account for no reason?"

Cuizhu's eyes flashed with disdain: "Tsk, how can she be noble? She is just lazy and likes to eat! It's just that today's bird's nest is missing half an ounce, so I questioned the servants in the kitchen, and then I learned that there was no money in the mansion to buy, so I checked the account in the treasury."

Su Lanyin understood and nodded, "She is so aloof from worldly matters, so it shouldn't matter if she can't eat bird's nest. Cuizhu, go to the private storehouse and get the best blood bird's nest to nourish my mother."

"Yes, slave, go now!"

The little girl skipped out of the door, and her back looked very happy.

Lu Wanjun has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When she heard the news, she was not happy at all. Instead, she felt a tightness in her chest.

She said worriedly, "Yinyin, we are a family after all. We can't just watch them go hungry. If it gets out, it will also damage the reputation of the Su family."

Su Lanyin curled her lips, the calmness between her brows carried endless indifference.

She leaned on the armrest and looked at the medical book, then said slowly, "Mother, since the key to the private vault is in my hands now, you don't have to worry about it for now."

"Yinyin, mother knows that you are resentful, but the old lady's supplements and medicinal materials cost several hundred taels every month, not to mention the food, clothing, housing and transportation of other people in the mansion. We must always consider the overall situation."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin tightened her fingers, and the medical book was even crumpled.

She knew that if she couldn't get Lu Wanjun to stop wanting to throw herself at him, she would probably go back to the same path as in her previous life.

Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"Mother, it's not like my father doesn't have a salary. Have you ever thought about why he favors the first lady more?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Lu Wanjun lowered her eyes in grievance. "Liu Ruyan is gentle and considerate, and she knows poetry and songs. She has more exchanges with your father. Unlike me, I am full of money and only know how to do business and manage the family. How can I compare with her gentleness and kindness?"

It turns out that the blows inflicted by Su Yongcheng over the years have long been engraved deep in Lu Wanjun's heart.

She even condemned herself and looked down on herself because of the man's dissatisfaction!

So, she kept making sacrifices, thinking that her sincerity could be exchanged for sincerity in return.

Unfortunately, she was so wrong!

Su Lanyin took a deep breath, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Mom, you're wrong. My dad doesn't like Liu Ruyan just because she's gentle and considerate."

"If not this, what else could it be? In terms of appearance, if I dress up carefully, I will be no worse than her!"

Lu Wanjun is still somewhat confident about this.

Back then, she was one of the most beautiful women in Quanzhou, and the threshold of her house was often trampled down by suitors.

Su Lanyin said patiently, "Mom, my father is a proud man. He is a man, but he has to rely on your dowry to support the whole family. How can he feel balanced? I'm afraid that every time he sees you, he feels indebted. When this indebtedness hurts his dignity as a man, he is unwilling to face it."

Lu Wanjun suddenly realized what was going on and her eyes turned red with grievance.

"I, I never thought it was because of this..."

"Mother, the eldest lady is the daughter of a marquis, and her status is far higher than my father's, but she is so humble and sweet in front of my father. How can my father not be happy?"

"This..." Lu Wanjun was speechless.

Su Lanyin continued while the iron was hot: "My father found the dignity he lost with you in Liu Ruyan, so he naturally likes her more and hates you more."

"Yinyin, I also have good intentions..."

"But your kindness is like a sharp knife that hurts my father. If it gets out, people will say that he is a gigolo. Compared with fine clothes and delicious food, a man of my father's character naturally cares more about his reputation."
