My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

In Hui Pavilion, Su Jinxiu was sleeping soundly.

Brother Lin doesn't want her, and now even the old lady has given up on her. Once her loss of innocence is exposed, she will be dead...

So go to sleep!

If you fall asleep, you won’t be sad.

"Madam, wake up quickly, the old lady is here to see you..." Lian'er shook her awake.

Su Jinxiu smiled bitterly: "Silly Lian'er, stop lying. How could the old lady come to see me?"

"beautiful."

Old Madam Shen came in and saw Su Jinxiu's pale and haggard appearance. She said distressedly, "Lin'er is too rude. How could he treat you like this?"

"Aunt..." Su Jinxiu thought that her secret had been exposed and called out mournfully.

She didn't want to be put in a pig cage, she didn't want to be infamous, and she didn't want to bring disgrace to the Su family!

"Does it still hurt? Alas, Lin'er is a military commander, and he is not known for being kind to others. Your aunt brought you some medicine, and you will not feel any pain after you apply it." Old Madam Shen sat down beside the bed, holding Su Jinxiu's hand to comfort her, "But it's good that he touched you. If you get pregnant this time, our plan over the years will be successful."

Su Jinxiu was stunned.

What is my aunt talking about?

"Jinxiu, are you sad because of Baizhi? In fact, your aunt is also thinking about you. If Ye Qinghuan favors you alone, it will be very disadvantageous to you. That's why I found Baizhi, hoping that she can win your favor for you."

"However, now that you are favored, you don't need her anymore. However, I have already given her a status, so I can't drive her away immediately. From now on, you and Bai Zhi will support each other. It's better than struggling alone."

"Don't worry, she is ours and will never be jealous of you."

"..."

Old Madam Shen said a lot, mainly to cover up the fact that she had given up on Su Jinxiu and wanted to make amends again.

After all, she is her own niece, and the blood connection makes her more intimate and reliable.

If Su Jinxiu gave birth to Shen Lin's eldest son, she could rest assured that Shen Rong would inherit the family property...

After listening for a long time, Su Jinxiu finally understood.

Old Madam Shen misunderstood!

She thought that Shen Lin touched her!

Su Jinxiu's heart was pounding and she felt hopeful about living again.

As long as Shen Lin doesn't explain, she will accept it and continue to be his concubine!

But, what should I do to make Shen Lin admit that he is a cuckold?

"Jinxiu, you are so stupid. How could you be angry with your aunt? You didn't even tell her about such a big thing. Fortunately, Lin'er told me." Old Lady Shen said.

Su Jinxiu's heart skipped a beat: "General, what did I say to you?"

"In front of Bai Zhi, he told you that he had consummated his marriage. Well, you know, he hates everyone I arranged for him to be with..."

Su Jinxiu was so excited that she wanted to cry. She didn't hear a word that Old Madam Shen said.

She only knew that Shen Lin saved her reputation and life!

He still cares about her, right?

Even if there is no love, there is still the affection of childhood sweethearts.

Brother Lin, Brother Lin, my life is worth it!

"Jinxiu, don't cry. It's your aunt's fault." Old Madam Shen wiped Su Jinxiu's tears kindly, just like when she took her away from Su's stepmother.

"Jinxiu never complained about my aunt..." Su Jinxiu held Madam Shen's hand, "It's just that Brother Lin is very bothered, so I want to pretend to be at odds with my aunt for the time being. But in fact, Jinxiu is on my aunt's side."

"Well, that's an idea." Old Madam Shen actually agreed, "Just use Bai Zhi's matter to make you angry!"

Su Jinxiu secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Thank you for your understanding, aunt! After the baby is born, everything will be decided by you, aunt."

"Good boy, I love you for real..."

Old Madam Shen was very happy. Before pretending to be angry and leaving Hui Pavilion, she gave Su Jinxiu several hundred taels of silver as a personal gift.

Su Jinxiu let out a long sigh of relief, leaned exhausted against the head of the bed, and it took her a long time to recover.

"Madam, the old lady has not given up on you. You must get better soon!" Lian'er brought the medicine.

Su Jinxiu didn't answer.

What if you are already pregnant?

After she left, the news of the estrangement between the aunt and nephew quickly spread throughout the general's mansion.

----

Shen Lin moved back to Huaxi Villa.

When he was not at home, the women in the general's mansion also quieted down.

Su Jinxiu was "sick" and Zong Xue was "under house arrest". Bai Zhi was the only one left, and she had to diligently serve Old Madam Shen every day.

Ye Qinghuan felt much more relaxed.

After finishing his official business that day, he went out of the house under the pretext of checking the shop and went to Chang Ming to check the supplies.

"Madam, we have almost stockpiled enough charcoal. Fortunately, we acted first. Now the price of charcoal has started to rise, and it is difficult to collect the money even if we pay for it." Chang Ming said.

"It's not winter yet, but the price of charcoal has gone up. That means someone is hoarding a lot of charcoal. Do you know how much Prince Jiang has hoarded?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

Chang Ming said, "Madam, I have already inquired about it. Prince Jiang has invested another seven or eight thousand taels of silver, all of which are good charcoal."

"He has so much money?" Ye Qinghuan was surprised.

All the money in the Marquis' Mansion was under the management of Mu Qing. She remembered that Jiang Shiming didn't have much private property left at that time.

"I heard that the Ye family lent him several thousand taels of silver. Moreover, the Ye family was also secretly hoarding charcoal. But they didn't hoard as much as Prince Jiang." Chang Ming said.

Ye Qinghuan seemed to be thinking: Ye Qinglan used her mother's money to regain favor and passed the business on to Madam Ye.

Three groups of people hoarding coal at the same time is too eye-catching.

"Chang Ming, let's stop hoarding charcoal. Guard the warehouse well. And keep a close eye on the Ye family and Prince Jiang to see how much charcoal they are going to hoard." Ye Qinghuan said.

"I have been paying attention to this matter! Prince Jiang raised the price to stockpile charcoal, and he did collect a lot. But his subordinates were inexperienced and they only built one warehouse. All the charcoal was piled together. If there is a fire, all the charcoal will be gone." Chang Ming said with a smile.

Ye Qinghuan also laughed when he heard this.

Ye Qinglan didn't even know the risk of putting all her eggs in one basket? It seemed that her wisdom after her rebirth had not increased much.

"What about the rice? How is the rice storage?" Chunyan asked.

"This year's autumn harvest is very good, and the price of rice is 10% lower than last year. One dan of rice costs two taels of silver. I have purchased rice in a dispersed manner as Madam wished, and have already stockpiled two thousand dan of new rice. But Madam, don't worry, I will prepare enough food before winter."

Ye Qinghuan was very satisfied: "Okay."

With this batch of grain, Shen’s army won’t have to go hungry this winter.

I feel a little unwilling to just spend ten thousand taels of silver like that.

After this year, there is still next year. If the Shen family army is always excluded by others, the military rations will not be supplied. It is impossible for Shen Lin to support it with his own money.

Still have to find a way to make money!

"Chunyu, let's go to the cloth shop." Ye Qinghuan ordered.

Since it was a subsidy to the court, she should earn money from the court and make up for the expenses!

The court’s money is the easiest to make.

For example, customizing several new patterns of fabrics for the ladies...

This is how Ye Qinghuan’s cloth shop operated in his previous life, and it was a guaranteed profit.

Just when I was thinking about which new tricks to try first, someone suddenly stopped me.

"Oh, sister, are you still in the mood to go shopping?" Ye Qinglan asked sarcastically, "I heard that General Shen got two beautiful concubines at once, and one of them is a stunning beauty in the palace. Aren't you worried, sister?"

"Prince Jiang has more beauties, so he should be worried about you, right?" Ye Qinghuan looked at Ye Qinglan.

Her clothes and jewelry are not as luxurious as before. Did she pawn her jewelry?

"What are you looking at? I don't like wearing too much gold and silver." Ye Qinglan pretended to be tough.

Ye Qinghuan saw through it but didn't say anything: "As long as you are happy!"

"Of course I'm happy. The prince loves me. I'm not like some people who have to stay alone in an empty room every night." Ye Qinglan raised her chin proudly.

So what if the prince has a new lover? Didn't she just use money to coax him back?

And Ye Qinghuan almost froze to death this winter!

Ye Qinghuan was speechless: "Yes, yes, I cried every night in the empty room. My eyes are almost blinded by crying. Please move aside, be careful or I might bump into you."
