Jiang Xuan: “…”

Wanzhou's indirect criticism made Jiang Xuan angry and speechless. He couldn't imagine how the gentle and obedient Gu Wanzhou could say such sharp words, each of which was deadly.

Wan Zhou immediately explained his confusion, "Do you think I've become so eloquent all of a sudden? Actually, you're wrong. This is my nature. I used to just accommodate your preferences, but now I'm not blind anymore and I'm just being myself."

Jiang Xuan: “…”

Seeing Jiang Xuan's frustration, Wan Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "But I still want to thank you. If you hadn't given me the marriage cancellation letter in time, how could I have asked the Emperor for marriage? How could I have become General Ji's fiancée?"

"Isn't that right, cousin?" Wan Zhou smiled with curved eyebrows, "Thank you for your help."

At this point, how could Jiang Xuan not understand that his letter of withdrawal of engagement was exactly what Gu Wanzhou wanted.

So, in the end, not only did he lose everything, but he also became a stepping stone for Gu Wanzhou.

Jiang Xuan didn't know whether he felt more regret or hatred. His heart was in turmoil and he clenched and unclenched his fists.

"Oh, are you dreaming? General Ji even rejected the princess. Some people will be rejected again. They will really have no time to live." Jiang Yi was jealous and hateful when she saw her brother being humiliated, so her words were particularly vicious.

When everyone heard this, they came to their senses and realized that this was indeed the case.

The engagement will definitely be broken off.

Thinking of this, his previous jealous look was tinged with gloating.

Wan Zhou glanced at Jiang Yi and smiled faintly, "Then I wish you all the best."

Jiang Yi was actually right. Ji Nanzheng would definitely not be attracted to her. After all, even the princess rejected her. She was not so narcissistic that she didn't know her own worth.

But since she would ask for the marriage, she was sure that Ji Nanzheng would not refuse.

"But who can predict the future? Anyway, I only know that for a man like General Ji, even the title of his undecided fiancée is something that countless women dream of but cannot get."

"Are you right, Sister Jiang Yi?"

Jiang Yi was so angry at being implied that she said sarcastically, "You can be complacent. The higher you stand, the harder you will fall. Who knows what kind of a mess someone will be in when he falls."

"It doesn't matter. At least I have stood on a high place. I am not as lucky as some people who can't even find a chance to fall."

Jiang Yi was so angry that she was fuming, and Wan Zhou was in a particularly good mood.

"White Egret, Autumn Dove, pack up your things and let's go."

She didn't want to see these people's ugly faces anymore and affect her good mood.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Lu and Qiu Ge quickly collected the rewards given by the emperor.

"Wait..." Gu Wanyu stopped Wan Zhou, "Big sister, mother worked so hard to raise you, it's unreasonable for you not to share some of these things with her, right?"

Gu Wanyu was jealous of the jewelry given by the emperor. She had cheated Wanzhou to get a lot of good things, but they were not at the same level as the things in the palace. If she wore the jewelry given by the palace to attend the party, she didn't know how many people would envy her.

She loved the feeling of being noticed.

"Second sister, the emperor's reward was not given because of my mother's upbringing, but because I donated 30 to the court."

"If you also donate 30, the emperor will definitely reward you."

If you have!

Wan Zhou killed people and destroyed their hearts.

"Oh, right. I am so poor that I only have these things left. I definitely cannot afford the 20,000 taels of silver that I give to the mansion every year. My second sister's daily expenses may have to be greatly reduced in the future..."

"For example?" Wan Zhou looked up and down at Gu Wanyu.

Gu Wanyu was going to attend a banquet today, so she dressed up carefully early in the morning. Her clothes were the finest watercolor brocade, and her jewelry was the set of gold and jade jewelry she had prepared last night. She looked so noble that no one would refute the fact that she was born in a noble family, unless someone said that she was born in a high-ranking family.

"Second sister, you may have to consider your wallet when you want to buy something like this next time."

The Gu family was a declining family with average financial resources. The head of the family, Gu Lian, was a fifth-rank military officer with no money. Although he was not poor, if it were not for the 2 taels of silver subsidized by Wan Zhou every year, Gu Wanyu would definitely not have to worry about food and clothing. But if she wanted to be so noble? Don't even think about it.

Originally, her mother's document only promised to give the mansion 3000 taels every year. Later, when Jiang told her that the mansion was in financial difficulty, she was grateful for Jiang's kindness to her and persuaded Huayang to increase the amount to 2.

Over the years, thanks to her subsidies, the family has lived a truly wealthy life.

Gu Wanyu had heard enough bad news that day, so much so that she overlooked an important problem.

Wan Zhou was going to stop providing supplies. What would happen to her expensive and beautiful clothes, fashionable jewelry, and high-end rouge and powder?

She has begun to stand out in the social circle this year, and her progress has already been noticed. In social situations, if you dress well enough, even if you come from a poor family, others will be willing to take a second look at you. If you are poor, even if you are born into a wealthy family, others will give you some face in front of you, but may ridicule you behind your back.

When you go out, your clothes and appearance are your appearance and you cannot afford to lose face.

How could she not know the Gu family's financial situation? Without Wan Zhou's subsidy? How would she decorate the storefront she wanted? Oh my god!!! Gu Wanyu's face turned green.

At the same time, Jiang's face also turned green.

She never felt relieved that day.

She actually forgot that Wan Zhou's donation of this money not only shattered her dream of wealth, but also made it impossible for her to continue her previous good life.

This is the real despair.

Wan Zhou saw Jiang's pale face and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with mother? You must be very happy to be General Ji's mother-in-law."

Hearing this, Jiang pressed her forehead and almost fainted again.

Wan Zhou's words simply stabbed her in the heart.

You know, she is still waiting to vent her anger on Wan Zhou?

Now, how dare she touch her again?

How could she dare to touch the woman who was bestowed with a plaque by the emperor?

If she really married Ji Nanzheng and became the general's wife, she would have to rely on Gu Wanzhou for her life in the future.

Not only could she not touch Wan Zhou, but she had to be as attentive to her as before. No, even more attentive than before. She did not dare to offend her at all.

Sin ah.

Which god did she offend?

At this time, Wan Zhou said again: "Mother, don't worry, although I have no money, there is no need for the mansion to bear the expenses. Brother Huayang will take care of it."

These words finally brought some comfort to Jiang.

She dare not neglect or be harsh to Gu Wanzhou now. If she really has to bear the cost, it will be a considerable expense.

Fortunately, Jiang was relieved.

Wan Zhou felt a sense of success when he saw Jiang agreed without saying anything.

Jiang is really greedy for money. Doesn't she know what will happen when her father comes back and finds out that his precious daughter is being raised by an outsider?

Jiang should have some idea of how much her father dotes on her, right?

This one incident alone would make Jiang lose her dignity as the mistress of the house - the power to manage the household.
