The general kneels on the washboard again

When Yue Niang got on the carriage, she felt her stomach churning and vomited.

The servant outside the carriage heard the noise, lifted the curtain, and peeked in, his tone full of sarcasm: "Miss, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You know that although this fragrant dew is not poisonous, it is not nectar after all, and you still drank it."

Yue Niang raised her head and glanced at him: "Isn't this the result you saw first? And now you're here making sarcastic remarks."

This glare made the boy shut up tactfully.

Dong Zhu also refused to give in: "Don't forget who is the master. How can you interfere in the master's actions?"

The servant finally lowered the curtain.

Dong Zhu patted Yue Niang on the back and said soothingly, "Miss, don't pay attention to them."

Yue Niang's face was pale, her hands and feet were cold, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

It was just ordinary food poisoning. She had to hold on and get through Fu Shiqing. So she asked Dongzhu, "Dongzhu, give me my lip balm. Apply some more so your face doesn't look so pale."

Dong Zhu did as he was told, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.

The carriage arrived at the door of Fu's house. Yue Niang suppressed the churning in her stomach and walked in.

As usual, Fu Shiqing met Yue Niang in the reception hall.

The servant led Yue Niang in and whispered a few words in Fu Shiqing's ear. Fu Shiqing looked at Yue Niang with an even darker expression.

After the servant left, Fu Shiqing looked at Dong Zhu behind Yue Niang and said, "You go down too. I want to talk to your daughter alone for a while."

Yue Niang nodded to Dong Zhu, and Dong Zhu stepped out.

Now the door of the room was closed, leaving only two people with different thoughts.

It was Fu Shiqing who spoke first: "Yue'er, is it fun for you and I to keep fighting like this, neither of us giving in? Why don't you consider your father's advice and give me all your property, and I will let you leave the Fu family."

"Don't waste your breath. I earned this myself. Unless you want to give up on the business of perfumed dew, I still have spices and tea. If that doesn't work out, I still have teahouses and restaurants."

In fact, Fu Shiqing's ceramic business is very big, but he is greedy and wants to take away all of Yue Niang's small businesses.

After hearing this, Fu Shiqing fell into deep thought and said, "How about we both take a step back? You give me 80% of the property and you take 20%. That will ensure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Yue Niang shook her head: "Father, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will withdraw first."

Fu Shiqing got angry and picked up the vase beside him and smashed it on the ground: "Fu Yueniang, don't go too far."

Yue Niang stood calmly, not even raising her eyelids. "Father, we both know who's wrong. If you want to take away 80% of my property, then we might as well have another fight."

Fu Shiqing sat down on the main seat: "How much are you willing to give?"

"At most 50%, Father, please think about it carefully."

Yue Niang left after she finished speaking. Her stomach felt like it was on fire and she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would appear to be intimidated.

With Dongzhu's support, he returned to Yuechen Courtyard, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, feeling very uncomfortable.

It can be said that Jiang Yunxiao’s shadow can be seen everywhere recently.

Jiang Hu came over the wall with the medicine. "Miss Fu, this is what my young master asked me to give you. He said that a dose of medicine boiled in three bowls of water, taking it twice will relieve the discomfort in your stomach."

Dong Zhu took the medicine and asked, "Who is your young master?"

Jiang Hu just realized that this girl had never seen him before, so he quickly announced Jiang Yunxiao's name: "My young master is Jiang Yunxiao, the young master Jiang."

Dongzhu let down his guard.

Jiang Hu bowed and said goodbye: "Then Jiang Hu will take his leave. Miss Fu, please take care."

Dongzhu went to boil the medicine.

Jiang Hu fell outside the wall, and Jiang Yunxiao was waiting there, scratching his head.

Jiang Hu looked at the anxious Jiang Yunxiao and said in a teasing tone, "Sir, since you are so worried about Miss Fu, why don't you go by yourself?"

In fact, Jiang Yunxiao himself didn't know, but Yue Niang's question today left him stunned, and he didn't dare to see her now.

Jiang Hu walked towards the Duke's Mansion: "Sir, it's time to go home. You haven't finished your homework yet."

Recently, Jiang Yunxiao has been doing his homework on his own, studying hard.

When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, Cao Jin was setting up dinner in the courtyard: "Xiao'er, come and eat."

Jiang Yunxiao walked in woodenly and said, "Mother is fine," then sat down.

Cao Jin looked at Jiang Yunxiao, who seemed to have lost his soul. "What's wrong? Is our Young Master Jiang really that depressed?"

Jiang Yunxiao looked at the table full of delicious food, but he couldn't muster up any energy. He picked up a piece of meat and looked at it: "Mom, I have a friend who seems to have fallen in love with a girl recently, but he's not sure if the girl likes him because the girl is the best in the world. What should he do?"

Cao Jin knew he was talking about him, and he wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it back: "Let me guess, who is this friend you're talking about?"

Jiang Yunxiao almost blurted out: "It's me, uh, a playboy like me, um, He Jingqi."

"He's indeed a dandy. How outstanding is that girl? Do you want me to help them get together?"

Jiang Yunxiao put the piece of meat down again and said wistfully, "Probably as good as Sister Yue'er."

Cao Jin was having a hard time suppressing his laughter. After thinking about all the sad things in his life, he said in a deep voice, "Xiao'er, Yue'er is not like that. You can't just see her glorious appearance, but also look at the pressure she is under behind the glory.

Xiao'er, Mother thinks Yue'er is an independent, thoughtful girl, but she's also a very pitiful girl. Mother also believes that the most difficult thing about liking someone is giving. If your friend truly loves that girl, then he should quietly give. When she finally opens up and is willing to rely on him, then he'll have succeeded.

Jiang Yunxiao was emo again: "Then what exactly do I need to do to make her rely on me?"

Cao Jin said earnestly, "Become strong and have enough strength for her to rely on."

Jiang Yunxiao didn't fully understand, but he was finally able to eat today's meal.

The spring rain has been falling for several months, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and Lingzhou is becoming more and more hot and humid.

Fu Shiqing and Yue Niang lived in peace for a while.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Fu Shiqing wandered around in the garden for a while and finally walked into Yuechen Courtyard.

The Yuechen Courtyard now seems to be becoming more and more lifeless. Thinking back to when he and Xu Shushen just gave birth to Yue Niang, he set up this courtyard alone.

The three of them had a happy time together until that incident, when his bottom line was completely trampled upon.

Looking at Yue Niang taking a nap in the corridor, propped up by a round fan, her face that looked so much like Xu Shushen made him inexplicably angry: "Wake up."

Dongzhu was embroidering a handkerchief in the house. When she heard Fu Shiqing's voice, she ran out and stood beside Yue Niang: "Miss, wake up, the master is here."

Yue Niang was struggling to wake up from her dream, feeling a little unhappy.

Fu Shiqing was even more displeased than her, as if he had seen a great enemy: "I'll think it through and talk again."

Yue Niang brought Fu Shiqing to the flower hall of Yuechen Courtyard and told Dong Zhu, "Go and make some tea."

After Dong Zhu left, Fu Shiqing took out a piece of paper from his arms.

His face held a tone that brooked no negotiation: "I'm too lazy to fight you anymore. It's fifty-fifty, but I have one condition."

Yue Niang knew that he wouldn't let go so easily: "As expected, you said."

Fu Shiqing spread out the paper, which was covered with densely packed words. The words reflected his personality. Fu Shiqing's handwriting was too impetuous, which showed his character.

Fu Shiqing continued, "Your current fragrance dew business belongs to me, as do the restaurants and teahouses in Yunzhou City. As for those in remote areas, I don't want them."

"Is there anything else?" Yue Niang asked again.

Fu Shiqing raised his voice and said, "As for the remaining 50%, let's make a bet. Your grandmother said in the letter that it was for your dowry, but now you are no longer engaged, so I can only make a contract with you. If you still don't have a husband within one year after your grandmother's three-year mourning period, the 50% will belong to me. At that time, I will ask the elders of the clan to remove you from the family.

If you find a husband-in-law, you can take this 50% with you. On the day you marry, I will also ask the elders of the clan to remove you from the family name. However, your husband-in-law must be from Lingzhou, and their family background must not be lower than my Fu family. "

"My father is very calculating. He will never let me have an easy life."
