I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

At night, Wen Qingzhi's room was still brightly lit. The charcoal fire was added several times, and even two more braziers were added.

Housekeeper Wang sat beside her, reporting to her in vivid detail the recent situation in the mansion. Chunyu stood by and poured tea for the two of them from time to time.

Mrs. Li came twice and brought in midnight snacks. Seeing that the two were still concentrating on handling the affairs, she didn't dare to say anything more.

"At present, it seems that these shops are making good profits. However...Miss, the palace is keeping an eye on the profits of these shops."

How could Wen Qingzhi not know?

She snorted and laughed, "He can't touch anyone else, so he can only touch me, an orphan."

You really don't feel ashamed.

Butler Wang was also angry about this, but there was nothing he could do.

"Then...should we continue?"

"of course."

Wen Qingzhi said, "If we don't do it, I'm afraid he'll want to take away these shops too."

She admitted that she had never seen such a shameless emperor. In this respect, he was not as good as Feng Junxiao.

At least Feng Junxiao wants to do it openly and honestly.

"But, if we do this, we will only be making wedding clothes for others."

Butler Wang felt sorry for her because she had worked so hard to earn money but couldn't keep it.

"I'll take care of this."

Wen Qingzhi let out a long sigh, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Just run the shop for me."

"Yes."

Butler Wang nodded, "Yes."

"Since you left, the weather in the capital has become increasingly cold. It's almost New Year's, and there's been heavy snow these past few days."

"I listened to you and prepared enough charcoal. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy any now."

The price of charcoal is ridiculously high nowadays. It is worth a fortune, but you may not be able to buy it.

At first, Butler Wang was puzzled by Wen Qingzhi's decision and thought it was a waste of money.

Now it seems that his daughter is really wise!

"We have fewer people in our house, so we use less than others. My sister-in-law is using more good charcoal. You keep an eye on it. I'm afraid she won't be willing to spend it."

"Also, she said she wanted to bring her Jiang family's younger sister over to live with her. She would provide her with food, clothing, and other necessities as normal, and there would be no need to increase her expenses."

"Jiang family girl..."

Butler Wang had no good feelings towards the Jiang family. He could accept Jiang Yao because he had seen her recently and she was indeed a good person, and she had given birth to a child for his master.

But, if it was someone from the Jiang family...

He is really unbearable.

The Wen family will never forget what the Jiang family did.

Not to mention asking his daughter to support the Jiang family again.

"Sister-in-law will take care of her food, clothing and other expenses. Besides..."

She paused, thought about it seriously, and said, "They can use whatever they want from my sister-in-law's warehouse, but don't touch the things in the Wen family's warehouse."

The Wen family will be handed over to Xiao Shitou in the future, but that is just the original property of the Wen family.

She will not give up what she has worked hard for since she came here.

Jiang Yao didn't know the other person's character at the moment, and with her personality, she would definitely be open-hearted.

It's okay for her to be open and honest with the Jiang family, but if she uses her own things to be open and honest with the Jiang family... that's not okay.

Furthermore, this woman would not come here for no reason, she must have some purpose.

Right now, the Wen family has no extra value except for some silver.

I'm afraid that person came here with the intention of alienating them and using Jiang Yao as a pawn so that he can borrow Xiao Shitou's identity to take over the Wen family's property.

,"hehe……"

Wen Qingzhi sneered, her eyes filled with coldness, "Do they think I'm a fool..."

She was nice to Jiang Yao only because she occupied Wen Qingzhi's body and had the obligation to take good care of the Wen family as an explanation.

The target is the Wen family, nothing else.

She let Jiang Yao into the mansion because Xiao Shitou was of the Wen family bloodline.

But if Xiao Shitou's existence would threaten the Wen family itself, she would give up Xiao Shitou directly.

She also has the blood of the Wen family, so she can find a man and give birth to a child with the surname "Wen".

They are both half bloodline, no difference.

"But……"

Steward Wang hesitated and asked, "If you do this, will the young lady be dissatisfied with you?"

Wen Qingzhi raised her eyes, took a few glances, and then asked Butler Zhang to lower his head hurriedly, "I understand."

satisfaction?

Not satisfied?

Is it important?

Wen Qingzhi was puzzled.

She changed the subject and said, "By the way, let's send some charcoal to Wang Han."

When she came back, she heard that Wang Han had come to see her many times and even gave her some money.

Wang Han said that she had no need for the money, so he asked her to use it to do something, and if she won, he would return it to her.

The little girl is not a bad person, she is just spoiled too much.

Housekeeper Wang said that some people couldn't buy charcoal recently, so it was understandable to give her some.

When it comes to Wang Han, Butler Wang kept making “hmm” and “ah” sounds for a long time.

"what happened?"

"Something happened to the Wang family."

Butler Wang said, "About a month after you left, Wang Han's mother... passed away."

"..."

Wen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, but soon her expression returned to normal.

It's normal for a wealthy family to have no one.

"I heard that not long after, Minister Wang brought a woman into the palace and made her his new mistress. The Wang family's daughter's status plummeted..."

This sounds fresh.

"and then?"

"Hearing that the new mistress was four months pregnant, Miss Wang was furious and argued with her several times. Later, rumors spread that Miss Wang was planning to harm the mistress and was sent to a farm outside the city."

Wen Qingzhi did not take the next step, and everyone in the room dared not breathe.

Chunyu glanced at Wen Qingzhi quietly, only to see that her expression remained unchanged, her eyes were cold, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Didn't Wang Han send anyone here after he went to Zhuangzi?"

Steward Wang shook his head, "They said they didn't assign any maids to serve, only two old women to look after her..."

In aristocratic families, people like Wang Han are generally called abandoned children.

Apart from being remembered and used for marriage proposals when getting married, it has no other use.

Wang Han is fifteen years old. Logically speaking, she is at the age to discuss marriage. Expelling her at this time is to tell everyone that Wang Han has been abandoned by the Wang family.

"girl?"

Seeing that she was still silent, Butler Wang asked, "Do you need more charcoal?"

"No need."

She said, "Go call Zhang Liang and Zhang He over."

"Yes."

Soon, Butler Wang appeared with the two of them. Wen Qingzhi said, "Go to Wang Han's farm and ask her what she thinks right now."

"If she wants to leave, I'll find a way."

"Yes."

Wen Qingzhi doesn't like to owe favors to others. Wang Han has helped her before, so she won't ignore her life or death.

After the two men left, Wen Qingzhi asked Butler Wang to continue reconciling the accounts. It seemed that she wanted to wait for the two brothers to come back before making a decision.

The two of them returned after midnight, their bodies covered in snow and cold.

"Miss, Miss Wang said she wants to leave there."

As he spoke, he handed a letter to Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi finished reading it and said, "Go tell her that I know. Everything will be prepared in the next few days. She can just wait to die."

"Yes."

Mrs. Li and the others were surprised, but Chunyu asked, "Miss, Wang Gu, are you asking for death?"

Wen Qingzhi didn't even raise her head as she looked at the account book. "Yeah."

Several people looked at each other, feeling quite regretful.

"If you don't die, how can you escape from the Wang family?"

"What do you mean, girl... fake your death?"

Wen Qingzhi nodded, "Chunyu has become smarter."

Chunyu chuckled and said, "If I stay with a girl, I'm sure I'll become smart!"

"It's getting late, you should go and rest. It's cold, so add more charcoal."

A casual word of comfort made Butler Wang and Mrs. Li feel as sweet as honey.

After they left, Chunyu stood behind Wen Qingzhi and put a cloak on her.

After thinking it over, I decided to speak out what was on my mind.

"Miss, do you really want to let the Jiang family in? Who is that person... Didn't Brother Zhang Ye say that she is not a good person?"

"If it's really as Brother Zhang Ye said, aren't we inviting a wolf into the house?"

She muttered quietly, "You've already had it hard enough... Before, you only had to deal with external enemies, and now you have to deal with internal troubles..."

Wen Qingzhi was amused by her and said, "You know quite a lot."

“People only turn back when they hit a wall.”

"But what if some people won't turn back even if they hit a wall?"

Hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Wen Qingzhi's eyes, "If she still refuses to turn back after hitting the wall... then bury her under the wall."
