Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

Mrs. Wang didn't want to look for Wan Zhou from the bottom of her heart. After all, she knew very well how she felt about Wan Zhou, and she couldn't bring herself to do so.

Moreover, no matter how much a small Yijing Pavilion can do, it can't do anything and still owes a big favor to someone.

But the reality is that the charcoal in the mansion can only last for a few days. It is almost the end of the year, and without charcoal, it will be difficult to get through the new year. In addition, several daughters-in-law kept making trouble, so the task of finding Wanzhou to buy charcoal finally fell to Yu Ma.

When Wan Zhou saw Nanny Yu coming, he guessed something and was somewhat surprised.

"..., Madam Fourth Young Master, Sui'er's mother went home yesterday and said that you have some charcoal. Madam asked me to come and ask if Madam Fourth Young Master could spare some of it. I won't take it for free. I will charge you 20% more than the market price."

Wan Zhou sneered in his heart: At a time like this, who dares to say that they have excess, and who isn’t afraid that they don’t have enough?

But since the other person has asked, I can't just refuse.

She personally stepped on the thick snow and took Madam Yu to the warehouse at the back. She pointed to a pile of charcoal inside and said, "Madam Yu, it's all here. Please ask someone to move it."

Yu Ma looked at the huge pile, one of the bags was open, and she could tell at a glance that it was all first-class charcoal, and she was jealous. She silently calculated in her mind that one bag of charcoal was enough for the master of the Duke's Mansion to use for a day. There were more than 20 bags in the room. If half of it was transported over, it would last for about 10 days if it was used sparingly, which was enough to solve the urgent problem.

But Wan Zhou only told her to move, without saying how much to move or the price. How could she move?

Nanny Yu was a smart person and immediately understood what Wan Zhou meant.

Although there seems to be a lot of food in the house, the weather is bad now and who knows when the supply will be normal. At this time, who has surplus food willing to take it out?

"I will go back and report to the Madam first."

Of course Wan Zhou couldn't let Nanny Yu make a wasted trip, so he asked Bai Lu to pack a bag of braised beef jerky and some pastries made by Sanniang for Nanny Yu.

The braised beef jerky was made by Li’s mother herself. It had a spicy flavor and was very tasty when eaten as a snack.

Not to mention Sanniang's pastries, which are quite impressive.

Nanny Yu failed to get the charcoal fire done, but Wan Zhou treated her warmly and gave her two bags of food, which comforted her somewhat. She went back to report.

Wan Zhou was not really prepared to be stingy. After all, Mrs. Wang was her nominal mother-in-law. It would be fine if she didn't know before, but now that she knew, she pretended not to know and ignored it. It would be bad to tell others about it. She herself didn't care about her reputation, but..., she hoped that her child would have a mother with a good reputation.

"Bai Lu, ask Mao Dou to go and ask Brother Hua Yang how much charcoal he has..."

Huayang told her that if it was not enough, she could go to him because he still had more.

Maodou is Wanzhou's driver, arranged by Huayang. She is ready to be a good person and help Mrs. Wang find some sources of goods, but of course they have to pay for it themselves.

This is the most we can do.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xuanting arrived before Maodou set out.

She also brought with her a dozen servants.

"Fourth sister-in-law, Madam Yu said that you asked her to arrange for someone to come and move the coal, right? Where is it? I'll bring them here."

Mrs. Wang herself did not consider Wan Zhou as a family member, and she was really too embarrassed to do so. However, Shi Xuanting felt that since Wan Zhou lived in the Duke's Mansion, she was the Duke's Mansion's daughter-in-law and must fulfill her filial duties.

So, since others were too embarrassed to bring it up, she volunteered to come.

Faced with the choice between her face and charcoal, she chose charcoal.

Wan Zhou has been married to the Duke's Mansion for more than two months, and has no private relationship with her nominal sisters-in-law.

This so-called Fifth Young Master's wife, who wants to act like a big buyer when begging for food, if I remember correctly, said something very unpleasant on the day of the tea ceremony.

I heard that this person is the granddaughter of the current imperial tutor. She didn’t know what kind of person she was before, but after meeting her today…

Three words: not so good.

Wan Zhou suggested asking Nanny Yu to move it because Madam Wang was too embarrassed to ask her for it. Unexpectedly, although it was not known whether Madam Wang could do it, the person in front of him was very capable of doing it.

"Bai Lu, take the Fifth Young Master's wife with you." Wan Zhou ordered calmly.

She did say that she would ask Madam Yu to bring people to move it, but Madam Yu also said that she wanted to buy it at a price 20% higher than the market price.

Shi Xuanting took people into the warehouse, but Wan Zhou did not go.

Under the eaves, I watched the servants carrying things out one by one.

She didn't count intentionally, but every time someone left, it automatically crossed her mind, and before she knew it, 12 bags had been gone.

Then, Bai Lu came out with a sad face.

"Miss, please go in and take a look. Qiu Ge and the Fifth Young Master's wife are arguing."

Wan Zhou frowned and almost immediately knew why the quarrel occurred.

Sure enough, in the warehouse, Qiu Ge was like a hen, with her arms outstretched to protect the only 12 bags of charcoal left behind her.

"Miss, they have already moved half of the house, and they need to move more. What should I do if they have all moved out?" Qiu Ge was so anxious that she started crying.

Shi Xuanting was indignant at being stopped by a servant, and said unhappily: "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even if you live in Yijin Pavilion, you still have to keep the servants in check. Look at her, what a mess she is in. To be honest, if my servants were so unruly, I would have sold them long ago."

Wan Zhou's eyes flashed darkly, and he smiled brightly at Shi Xuanting: "People are different, maids are different, and naturally rules are not the same, don't you think?"

Shi Xuanting was confused: "What do you mean?"

Wan Zhou smiled again: "What I mean is, for example, if you don't have charcoal today, you will bring people to my yard to move it, but if I don't have it, I will choose to freeze, after all, we have no friendship..."

Shi Xuanting understood Wan Zhou's meaning and her face darkened instantly.

Her gloomy expression was not just a sad one, but an angry one, as if someone had done something very excessive to her.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what do you mean? You said you would send someone to move it, right? If you don't want to, what big talk are you making?"

"Besides, this charcoal fire is for honoring my mother-in-law. I'm just here to run errands."

It was the first time that Wan Zhou met someone like Shi Xuanting, who took herself more seriously than Wang Sijun and was arrogant and unreasonable.

She still smiled: "So how much do you plan to move?"

Shi Xuanting said confidently, "You are the daughter-in-law of our Duke's Mansion, so naturally we are all a family. A family should share happiness and hardship. There are six brothers on our side, plus the second branch, a total of eight brothers, plus the share of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so it's ten shares in total."

"I counted them. There are 2 bags in total. Divide them equally, bags each. I'll keep two bags for you and take the rest away with me."

Wan Zhou: “…”

People are shameless, they are truly invincible.

When Qiu Ge heard this, she couldn't help herself again. Wan Zhou stopped her immediately and pulled her over.

What it means is to let Shi Xuanting move.

She went back to her room and wrote a simple sales deed.

Shi Xuanting was not polite at all. She left two bags for Wan Zhou and had the rest taken away.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I will go back then. I will tell my mother-in-law that these are all gifts from you as a filial gift." Shi Xuanting felt that she had gained a lot this time, and her expression was not so gloomy anymore.

"Wait a moment." Wan Zhou called out to Shi Xuanting.

"Come to think of it, it's so cold, and my eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law didn't come, but you, fifth sister-in-law, came. Who can be more filial than you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Xuanting curled her lips, as if to say: Of course.

"So, I won't argue with you about this filial piety. Just put your handprint on this deed, and I'll consider these charcoals as my sale to you to honor my mother-in-law."

When Shi Xuanting heard this, she immediately glared at him in anger.

Wan Zhou didn't wait for her to speak, and continued, "I won't charge you a higher price. You've emptied my warehouse, so I have to buy more. When the charcoal I bought is delivered tomorrow, you have to give me the actual amount you paid. I won't ask you for a penny more."
