My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 27: Digging a hole, gambling debt
When I returned to Jinfengyuan, there was an uninvited guest.
"Qing Huan is back?"
"Let us wait!"
Second Aunt Qin and Third Aunt Yu were sitting in the living room eating ice cream. There were three or four empty bowls on the table.
Chunyan's face turned green.
That was the dessert that the madam specially asked the kitchen to make before she went out!
In order to eat this bowl of food, the lady specially spent money to dig a small ice cellar.
I didn't even take a bite, and it was gone...
"Qinghuan, your small kitchen is really nice. The icy crispy buns have a rose scent and taste better than the ones in Concubine Yu's palace." Qin was still not satisfied and wished she could have another bowl.
But the two sisters-in-law had already eaten two bowls each, so they felt embarrassed to ask for more.
"How come you two aunts have time to come and sit with me?" Ye Qinghuan suppressed his displeasure and asked with a smile.
"I heard that you were ill for a few days. I wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I was afraid that it would affect your recovery. Today I heard that you are much better, so I came to see you." Qin smiled, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"Look how thin you are. You need to eat more to nourish yourself so that you can give birth to a child for Lin'er in the future. Don't be like Su Jinxiu, who hasn't been able to lay an egg for several years. She's so useless!" Yu's thin face was shrewd and harsh.
Ye Qinghuan knew clearly in his heart: neither of them was a good person!
In her previous life, Ye Qinglan was often used by them. Later, when Ye Qinglan was bullied, they also fanned the flames.
Coming to her place today must be no good!
She forced a smile and said, "Thank you both for your concern. Chunyu, peel some of the lotus seeds you bought today and give them to you to try."
"Yes."
Chunyu washed her hands and peeled lotus seeds, while Chunyan served tea and interrupted Qin and Yu's complaints.
Yu was a little displeased and said, "Qinghuan, Brother Lin is really good to you. He built a small kitchen and dug an ice cellar. You are the one who enjoys this the most in the entire general's mansion."
Ye Qinghuan frowned slightly: "Third Aunt, the old lady has been managing the General's Mansion for her whole life, so she deserves to enjoy the best. I feel uneasy when you say that!"
"You are the mistress of the house. Besides, you haven't spent any of the money." Yu seemed not to understand.
"Aunt San, it's Su who's in charge of household finances," Ye Qinghuan reminded.
Yu snorted disdainfully: "Who does she think she is? Is she qualified to be the head of the family?"
"That's right! What happened to Manager Liu is the consequence of her lax management. She comes from a small family and has a narrow vision. I don't know what my eldest sister-in-law was thinking. She was allowed to continue to be the head of the family after you came in." Qin agreed.
Very good, both of them are here to sow discord.
If they had the ability to overthrow Su Jinxiu, they would have succeeded long ago. Who are they trying to dig a hole for by complaining now?
Ye Qinghuan remained calm: "Sister Su has worked very hard to manage such a big family. If there is anything I have not done well, please forgive me, aunts."
"Qinghuan, do you know why you haven't been able to manage the family even after so many days of marriage?" Qin asked.
"The new bride is not familiar with the family yet and has no experience as a housekeeper. She needs training." Ye Qinghuan's answer was flawless.
"No! It's your mother-in-law who doesn't want to give you power!" Qin said, "Su Jinxiu is her niece from her mother's side. She was brought here to learn housekeeping since she was young. In fact, it was to check and balance Lin'er so that Rong'er could inherit the general's mansion in the future."
Ye Qinghuan was secretly shocked. How could such a thing happen?
Uncle Shen Rong was Madam Shen's youngest son. Ye Qinghuan had never seen him in her two lives. She only knew that he had a disability in his legs and didn't like to show up in public. He didn't even show up at her wedding to Shen Lin.
According to the rules, Shen Lin is the eldest son. According to his ability, Shen Lin has official titles and military merits, while Shen Rong has nothing.
No matter from which perspective, Shen Lin should inherit the General's Mansion.
Old Madam Shen actually suppressed the eldest son and supported the youngest son?
He is really partial to grandma's family. No wonder Shen Lin refuses to go home.
Alas, I thought she was born out of wedlock, so she was not favored by her biological mother. I didn't expect that a legitimate daughter would not be favored by her biological mother either.
Ye Qinghuan suppressed his surprise and remained calm: "Cousin Su is deeply in love with the general, and the general agreed to her being the head of the family."
"Of course she loves me deeply. Lin'er took such good care of her in the past. But it's a pity that she is an ungrateful person!" Yu pouted, "It's a good thing that Lin'er has sharp eyes and saw that she is not a good person."
Ye Qinghuan:! ! !
What a huge amount of information!
However, as a bride, it is not appropriate to respond before verifying the truth.
Ye Qinghuan could only remain silent.
Chunyu had good eyesight and presented the peeled lotus seeds: "Second Madam, Third Madam, please taste it."
Qin frowned.
The master is speaking, why would a lowly servant interrupt?
But Ye Qinghuan took the lotus seeds and praised them while eating them: "It's very sweet. I'll ask the kitchen to make lotus seed soup tomorrow."
Qin didn't know what to say.
After all, she was a maid that came with the Ye family as a dowry, and it was not her turn to discipline her.
But this Ye Qinghuan, who looked thin and weak, was actually a treacherous person and didn't appreciate their kindness!
Humph, you don’t know what’s good for you!
"Qinghuan, don't think we talk too much, we are all doing this for your own good. This family will still depend on you in the future. When you meet Ronger in the future, you will know that we did not lie to you, it's just that some things are not good to say directly." Qin said earnestly.
"Second Aunt, I know what's going on." Ye Qinghuan said ambiguously.
In her previous life, she was at least a noble lady, and she was very good at practicing Tai Chi in the backyard.
Seeing that everything Qin said was flawless, she winked at Yu.
"Well, we've been here for a while, it's time to go back." Yu stood up: "In short, a wife must be of one mind with her husband. You figure it out yourself."
"I'll take my two aunts."
Ye Qinghuan stood up and sent Yu and Qin out of the courtyard. Coincidentally, he ran into Su Jinxiang.
It’s true, there’s no coincidence in the world!
"Sister, did you hear that I have Bingsuku here and would like to have a bowl too?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
Su Jinxiu said respectfully: "The Second Master has an account in his hand, and needs Madam's instructions."
Qin's face changed drastically and she clenched the corner of her handkerchief.
Ye Qinghuan smiled and said, "Sister is good at managing the household, just deal with it, no need to ask me."
"But, it's a gambling debt." Su Jinxiu said in embarrassment.
Ye Qinghuan frowned: "Second uncle is gambling?"
"The second master owes 700 taels at Changlefang and 530 taels at Jubaolou. A total of 1,230 taels."
A huge sum of money! It’s equal to the general’s expenses for half a year!
Qin's face turned pale, and she staggered back against the wall: "What a sin! That bastard actually went to gamble without telling me... and he still owes so much debt... I can't live anymore..."
Qin cried, Yu persuaded her, and Su Jinxiu waited for instructions in embarrassment.
Ye Qinghuan understood.
There were so many preparations, it turned out that they were all waiting for her here!
"Has Second Uncle ever owed gambling debts before?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Su Jinxiu said: "It happened occasionally in the past two years."
"Let's handle it the same way we handled it before! I don't have any experience in this area," said Ye Qinghuan.
Su Jinxiu was in a more difficult situation: "In the past, Brother Lin paid for it..."
"Oh, then go find the general!"
"But the amount this time is too large, and I'm afraid Brother Lin can't do anything about it." Su Jinxiu was reluctant to let her beloved Brother Lin add more money.
How much salary is there in a year, and I have to support Zhou Niannian. Brother Lin hasn't bought new clothes for a long time, nor has he bought anything for the house.
"Then we can only ask the old lady for instructions." Ye Qinghuan said.
Qin screamed, "No, no!"
"Second aunt?"
"If your sister-in-law knew that your second uncle gambled, she would kick us out of the second branch!" Qin rushed over, took Ye Qinghuan's hand and begged: "Qinghuan, you are kind-hearted and even helped Li Lan. Please help us too!"
