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

The weather is gradually warming up, and the spring breeze is like a scissors, cutting away the severe cold of winter. Tender green appears on the branches, reflecting the vibrant scene of all things in the world.

Song Wanyin took Tiancheng to visit the shops under his name, checked the account books one by one, and found that the recent income was very considerable.

At present, the Taiwei Mansion has already recruited various craftsmen and started repairs. With this money, the Taiwei Mansion can be restored to its original appearance.

Shopkeeper Zhao took advantage of the fact that no one was around and brought a small and exquisite mahogany box, saying respectfully:

"Miss, last time you told me to find a buyer, I had the brokerage firm assess the price.

Then it was sold to a prestigious and wealthy man named Liu.

I have taken the contract to the government for filing and paid the corresponding taxes.

This contract has been stamped by the government.

All the contracts and banknotes are here, please take a look."

Song Wanyin reached out to take the mahogany box, opened it and looked at it carefully, then chuckled:

“Selling off the property usually requires the elders in the family to come to a consensus before it can be sold.

Gu Qingchen never dreamed that I would sell off part of the Gu family's property before him, and in his name.

If the old lady and the elders of the Gu family knew about this, Gu Qingchen would sell part of the family property without telling anyone.

I guess he will be accused of being unrighteous and unfilial, which will be a big deal for him."

Sweet Orange couldn't help but sigh:

"Miss, you are smart. This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine."

Song Wanyin turned around and asked:

"Sweet Orange, have you finished what I asked you to do last time?"

Tian Cheng immediately took out the pawn ticket and banknote from his sleeve and presented them to him, saying:

"It's done. I've taken the gold lock to a pawnshop and pawned it.

Then he deposited the money in the third house's bank under the name of Ye Ge'er.

However, I was careful at the time and did not enter the money house.

Instead, he spent money to hire someone to deposit the money.

Here are the pawn tickets and banknotes, please have a look, young lady."

Song Wanyin took the pawn ticket and the banknote, with a satisfied look in her eyes, and asked:

"What's the reaction of the bank's chief treasury officer?"

Sweet Orange thought carefully:

“I heard from the hired man that the head shopkeeper’s face changed when he heard Ye’er’s name.

I guess this matter must be reported to Mr. Gu Sanye.

This head shopkeeper has been with the third house for more than 30 years. He is an experienced and perceptive man.

He would report every major and minor event in the bank to Mr. Gu Sanye in detail.

Master Gu San trusted him very much, so he entrusted the bank to him to take care of it."

Song Wanyin nodded slightly, this was exactly the result she wanted, and then asked:

"How is the bank's business these days?"

Sweet Orange reported truthfully:

"Except for the money we deposited, the nobles no longer come, and even the common people no longer come.

I heard that the last incident was quite a big deal, and the bank’s credibility is almost zero.”

Song Wanyin thought, with Gu Zeqian's suspicious nature, he would definitely suspect who the biggest creditor behind this was?

This time, the wind vane has undoubtedly shifted to Gu Qingye.

Once the matters of selling part of the family property and the bank become bigger and bigger, they will be like two fuses, enough to cause chaos in the entire Gu family.

In this way, she can reap the benefits without having to spend any manpower.

After returning to the Marquis's Mansion, Song Wanyin received an invitation from the lady dowager and moved to the main hall to discuss important matters.

In the main hall, the old lady's eyes were cloudy, red and swollen, her vision was getting worse and worse, and she could only barely see a few blurry shadows.

Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingzhi, and Gu Qingye were sitting on the left and right sides, each of them looking like they had a lot on their mind.

Seeing the atmosphere in the main hall was quiet and depressing, Song Wanyin stepped forward and bowed calmly:

"Mother-in-law, are you looking for me?"

The lady beckoned her to sit down and talk. Now that everyone was present, she spoke:

"My sixtieth birthday is coming up in three days. As my children, what do you think?

The expenses of the Marquis's Mansion are very high at the moment, and they can no longer spare any money to organize a birthday banquet with great fuss.

In my opinion, otherwise this birthday party should not be held.

Later, I will ask the chef to prepare a large table of delicious dishes, and my family can sit together and have a lively meal. "

Gu Qingzhi was particularly afraid of taking out her own small treasury, and echoed:

"What my mother said is absolutely right. I also think that organizing a birthday party is a waste of money, manpower and energy.

It’s also a bit extravagant and wasteful, so it would be better to hold a simple one.

Anyway, I wish my mother a long and healthy life.

When you reach your 70th birthday, we will spend a lot of money to hold a grand birthday party."

Gu Qingye was in a state of absent-mindedness the whole day. When he thought about his elder brother asking him to find the thief, he had not yet figured out a response measure and he could not sleep or eat.

The person sits in the hall, but the soul flies in the sky.

Seeing that he remained silent, the lady asked:

"Brother Ye, what do you think?"

Gu Qingye suddenly came back to his senses, stood up in panic, and said at a loss:

"Huh? W-what?"

The lady said angrily:

"Hey, why do you seem so absent-minded lately?

Did you get into trouble outside again?"

Gu Qingye was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly and said tremblingly:

"No, no."

The lady got very angry when she saw him. He was idle all day long and did not work properly. He was a complete useless person.

Naturally, I don't have any hope for him. I just hope he doesn't cause any big trouble for the Gu family.

"Sit down."

Gu Qingye then sat down with a loud thump. Noticing that everyone was looking at him, he quickly lowered his head guiltily.

Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...

Gu Qingchen said with a firm gaze:

"Yes, this birthday banquet must be held.

This is not a question of money, but a question of face.

If this gets out, the Gu family won't even be able to afford the money to hold a 60th birthday party.

Wouldn't that make people laugh out loud? "

He thought that once he organized a birthday banquet, he would definitely invite dignitaries to come and celebrate his birthday.

By then, the generous birthday gifts received can be easily sold for silver, and naturally the money for the bride price can be added up.

These words really touched the heart of the lady. It's not that she didn't want to have a good birthday celebration, but she was really short of money.

"Brother Chen, you are now the pillar of our Gu family.

Where will the money for the birthday banquet come from?"

Gu Qingchen looked at Song Wanyin who was silent at the side, and came up with a plan:

"Song Wanyin, you and I are still husband and wife, and you are also the head mistress of the Gu family.

You should be the one to host the birthday banquet."

Song Wanyin had long expected that the Gu family would target her, so she said slowly:

"Sure, as long as you pay, I'll do it with reluctance and am willing to contribute my little bit."
