Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen
Chapter 8 Women Must Be Self-Reliant
Finally unable to hold back, Mudan spoke.
"Madam, you will not please the Master by doing this."
Jiang Jiu raised his eyelids, glanced at Mudan, and smiled.
"So what? At worst, you can just divorce me. Then I won't have to pay back the three thousand taels of betrothal money."
Mudan took a deep breath and said unconvincedly: "If Madam is divorced, it will be even more difficult for her to remarry in the future."
Jiang Jiu gently placed the empty tea bowl on the table and said earnestly, "Relying on mountains will only make you run away, relying on trees will only make you fall. Relying on men is like a sow climbing a tree. It's impossible. It's better to rely on yourself and earn more money to support yourself."
"Even if the whole world betrays you, your silver will not betray you."
After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, Nanny Qian helped him stand up and waved her hand: "Everyone, disperse. We still have to visit the ancestral temple early tomorrow morning. As for you, we will serve tea in the afternoon."
"But it's hard to say. Who knows, Lu Yunyang might be out of money tomorrow morning and sell you out when he figures it out. That way, it would save both of us a lot of trouble."
After Jiang Jiu finished speaking, he took Nanny Qian and the two maids back to their courtyard.
Mudan and the other concubines were left behind, and they all began to feel frightened.
"Sister Mudan, what should we do? If the young master divides the family, we will really fall into the hands of the new wife. She can sell us off at will."
"Exactly, what should we do? The young master was so kind to us before, but now, now..."
Now that there are new people, the young master has put these old ones behind his mind.
"Why don't we go to the Madam to redeem her." One of the concubines suggested.
Mudan shook her head and said, "I won't redeem it."
"You all know what kind of people my family is like. If I don't give them money for a month, they will make a fuss. It's better to come to the Lu family. At least I can't see them, and they won't dare to force their way in."
"what should I do then?"
Mudan rubbed her head and said, "Let me think about it. Let's go back first."
Jiang Jiu didn't care what her concubines were thinking. She was only focused on making money.
Lu Yunyang wanted silver, but there was no money in the account book. Whoever of these concubines was willing to give it could give it, because she wouldn't give it anyway.
Jiang Jiu was really forced into a corner, and he sold his house, land, maids, and concubines.
Anyway, she has plenty of things that can be converted into cash.
Jiang Liu asked her to marry in a different marriage, but the Lu family's betrothal gift was taken to the Chang family by Jiang Mingyue.
Why should she use her hard-earned money to exchange for freedom that doesn't belong to her?
Let him be destroyed. Isn't he just a playboy? He spends money like water. He sold all his land and has nothing left. Let's see what else he spends.
Madam Qian was very worried about her: "Miss, it's not a good idea for Mr. Lu to keep spending money like water. What if you don't earn enough to cover his expenses? You can't sell the shop or the house."
Jiang Jiu: "The shop is a profitable business and will not be moved for the time being. However, the eight concubines in the backyard are all beautiful and worth a lot of money."
Although the divorce was not successful, he got the power of housekeeper.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
Jiang Jiu returned to his room and it was already late at night.
Nanny Qian felt that Jiang Jiu had made a great comeback.
"Miss, you did well this time. The Lu family won't bring up the issue of marriage exchange anymore. You've also gained the right to manage the household. As long as the young master needs money, he'll have to give it to you. If you give birth to another son, your future in the Lu family will be stable."
Jiang Jiu did not respond to Nanny Qian's words. What she was thinking about was not whether she could live peacefully in the Lu family, but how to earn three thousand taels for the Lu family.
After flipping through the Lu family's account book for a long time, I found that a starving camel is bigger than a horse, so there is still room for maneuver.
The shop really cannot be sold. It’s like killing the chicken to get the eggs.
Closing the account book, she instructed Xia Zhi, "Remember the locations of these two shops. Go check out their actual situation tomorrow. As long as the shops are managed properly, there's no reason for them to lose money. I want to see why they're not only losing money, but also losing so much."
Xia Zhi had been trained by Jiang Jiu to be very smart.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely investigate it for you."
Jiang Jiu instructed Madam Qian again: "Go ask those concubines what skills they are good at. I plan to let them make money with their skills."
Aunt Qian: "Okay."
Jiang Jiu: "Chun Xiao. Tomorrow you will come with me to the Lu family ancestral hall to check all the gifts brought to the Lu family. After that, go and rest. You are tired after a whole day."
Seeing Jiang Jiu taking off his clothes and going to bed, Nanny Qian was a little surprised.
"Ah? Miss, are you not waiting for your uncle?"
After all, it is the wedding night, and Lu Yunyang should come back to complete the ceremony.
Jiang Jiu asked Chun Xiao to remove her makeup: "What are you waiting for? He may not come back tonight. I won't wait any longer."
It would be better if he didn't come back. If he came back, he would have to sleep in the same room with me, and I wouldn't know what to do with the clean white handkerchief on the bed.
She really had no intention of having physical contact with a stranger, even though Lu Yunyang was quite good-looking.
Aunt Qian felt sorry for Jiang Jiu and sighed heavily: "Alas, the girl's life is so miserable."
After everyone fell asleep, Chunxiao quietly went out from the back door and met an old nanny, who reported everything that happened to Jiang Jiu today to her truthfully.
When Jiang Mingyue heard the news, she was shocked.
Why didn't I think of seizing the power of housekeeper? I just wanted to be virtuous and filial in front of my mother-in-law.
If she gets the money early, Lu Yunyang will have to ask her for money every day. After a while, they will fall in love with each other. Even if it is for the money, Lu Yunyang will have to give her some money.
Not only could she stop him from taking concubines, she could also deal with those eight concubines.
If you don’t have money, can you take a concubine based on your looks?
Jiang Mingyue glanced at the person sleeping beside her pillow. She had learned a lesson in her last life, so she had to learn from it in this life. She had to keep the financial affairs of the Chang family in her own hands.
