Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Madam Zhuang's expression suddenly changed, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and blamed:

“Sweet Orange, you are too careless.

It's not a big deal if the Tremella, red dates and lotus seeds soup is spilled, but what if the glass shards hurt my wife?

You will inevitably be beaten with twenty sticks."

Tian Cheng was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She got up from the ground, rubbed her elbow, and said aggrievedly:

"Miss, I just sprained my ankle accidentally. I hope it didn't hurt you."

Song Wanyin pretended to be stern and scolded:

"Tiancheng, you have always been reckless. How many times have I taught you this?

Why don't you clean up the mess quickly? Do you have to wait for Madam Zhuang to do it herself?"

Tiancheng immediately agreed in a low voice, and hurriedly went to find a broom to start cleaning.

Song Wanyin was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. She stood up, took out an ingot of silver from the cabinet and handed it to Madam Zhuang.

"Madam Zhuang, thank you for coming all the way here. This is a small token of my appreciation to you."

When handing over the silver, Song Wanyin pretended to accidentally touch Madam Zhuang's right arm, and it was obvious that she shivered violently.

Madam Zhuang's face changed slightly. She subconsciously wanted to touch her right arm, but she resisted the urge. Cold sweat oozed from her forehead. She forced a smile and said,

"Thank you for your reward, Madam. I will not disturb your rest any longer."

The moment Nanny Zhuang turned around and left, her expression changed drastically, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

When Madam Zhuang's figure gradually disappeared into the night, Tiancheng immediately put down the broom and closed the door tightly.

"Girl, have you noticed that there is something very wrong with this Madam Zhuang?

I have already inquired about it. The Madam is in a difficult situation now, so she has no time to take care of you.

These supplements and nutritional products were clearly sent by her under the name of the lady.

It's really strange, how could Madam Zhuang, a mere servant, have the money to buy so many valuable things?"

Seeing that Tiancheng had become more and more intelligent after following him for so many years, Song Wanyin tapped her forehead and said:

"This means there is a mastermind behind her, and this person must be from a high-ranking official family, otherwise he would not be so generous."

Tian Cheng suddenly realized it, but still couldn't figure it out:

"Girl, you haven't had any grudges with anyone, so who wants to murder you?"

Song Wanyin's eyes were deep and he said:

“Perhaps, what is far away is close at hand.”

The Marquis's Mansion was becoming more and more chaotic day by day. The Madam was now helpless and had no choice but to take over the housekeeping of the mansion.

She hasn't been in charge of the household for several years, and her eye disease is getting worse and worse, making her completely blind.

Gradually, he felt overwhelmed and considered handing over the management of the family to Song Wanyin.

The lady went to Songbai Garden to visit Gu Qingchen every few days, either crying or lamenting.

"Brother Chen, in order to let me live a few more years, you should just give in and admit your mistakes.

A man is a good man, capable of bending and stretching.

It is not shameful to resolve internal conflicts internally without letting others know.

I am old and no longer have the ability or energy to take care of these trivial matters in the mansion.

I can’t use my coffin money to maintain the huge expenses of the mansion.”

Gu Qingchen was upset by her mother's sad face all day long, so she comforted her:

"Mother, I would rather go to the Earl's Mansion to borrow money than ask Song Wanyin for money."

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones.

Fortunately, Gu Qingchen had a foundation in martial arts, and after resting in bed for a period of time, he was finally able to walk again.

Jiang Lanyue thoughtfully prepared a Wuhou car for him and even sewed a soft cushion for him overnight so that he could sit more comfortably.

"Brother Qingchen, when you want to go out for some fresh air in the future, I can push you like this."

Gu Qingchen felt warm in his heart. He took Jiang Lanyue's delicate hand and found that it had frostbite. He felt distressed:

"Lanyue, I heard that you are always running outside these days. Is there something wrong in the Earl's Mansion?

Look, every time you go out, you don’t know how to protect yourself.”

Jiang Lanyue's expression was evasive, he withdrew his hands, and said comfortingly:

"Brother Qingchen, I'm fine.

However, the Earl's Palace did send someone to deliver the message yesterday.

My mother hopes that I can go back as soon as possible, so that my father won’t know and worry about me.”

Gu Qingchen thought that she had been out for long enough, and although he was reluctant to let her go, there was still a long way to go.

"Okay, then I'll take you back so I can feel at ease."

He had long wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Earl's Mansion to see if he could borrow some money to tide over the difficulties.

After his injuries are healed, he can collect more money from those dignitaries who want to curry favor with him, and he will be able to raise enough money for the bride price.

Back at the Earl's Mansion, in the main hall, smoke was rising from the green-glazed lotus-shaped incense burner, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

When the old man saw Gu Qingchen coming in a Wuhou carriage, his jaw dropped and he said in surprise:

"You, you, you, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Qingchen was a little embarrassed to speak, and said humbly:

"Uncle Jiang, this is a long story, but I recovered very quickly and it won't delay the wedding.

I came here today to bother you because I have something to ask for, and I hope the Jiang family can help you."

He roughly explained the purpose of his visit and truthfully elaborated on the current financial difficulties of the Marquis's Mansion.

In addition, his mother's eye disease needed urgent treatment, and his younger brothers and sisters were used to spending lavishly, so they lived a life of expenditure beyond their means every day.

“The current situation in the Marquis’ Mansion was all caused by Song Wanyin.

After I marry Lan Yue, I will definitely fight for the title of mistress of the house for her."

The old uncle's face turned pale, if it weren't for the generations of friendship between the two families.

Besides, since his daughter was so disappointing and got pregnant before marriage, he would not agree to this marriage.

"Gu Qingchen, there are so many troubles in your family that you haven't sorted out yet.

If my sister Yue married you, I don’t know how miserable her life would be in the future.”

Gu Qingchen put aside all his pride and pleaded:

"Uncle Jiang, I know this is unprecedented and inappropriate.

But Lan Yue and I will eventually become a family.

I'm just here for a transition period now. I'll return the principal and interest to you within three months.

Do you have the heart to watch Lan Yue suffer with me while pregnant?"

The old man was almost pissed off by his nonsense. He pointed at his nose and gnashed his teeth and said:

"Gu Qingchen, didn't you vow before that you would definitely raise enough money for the betrothal gifts?

How could you come up with such a plan to borrow money from me? How could you say such a thing? "

Mrs. Jiang's face was gloomy. It was common for mothers-in-law to like their sons-in-law more and more the more they looked at each other.

With her, it's just the opposite.

"My Lord, please go back. Today we will just pretend that you have never been here.

Whether you can raise enough money for the bride price is your business.

If you don't show any movement within the agreed time, then we have reason to cancel the engagement.

As for the fetus in Yue Jie'er's belly, the Jiang family has the right to choose to give up the baby and keep the mother.

At worst, Sister Yue will never marry, I can support her."
