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

Jiang Yao lowered her head unconsciously, showing her inferiority complex in front of Wen Qingzhi.

Wen Qingzhi said: "Sister-in-law, raise your head."

"We live on our own, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. From now on, you, Xiao Shitou, and I will be a family. Xiao Shitou is the only man in our family, and he will have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family."

"You have to teach Xiao Shitou to be strong and independent, and to be a responsible man, rather than a man with low self-esteem and good for nothing."

She said sternly, "From now on, you and I are the masters of the Wen family. As masters, we must fulfill our responsibilities—"

Wen Qingzhi nudged her chin and said, "We have to support this family because there are so many mouths waiting to be fed."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yao nodded vigorously, "I'll go shopping with you and buy new clothes!"

How many years has it been since she last wore new clothes?

I can't even remember.

"Chunyu, take Chunshuang with you and go with us later. Let her remember the way. In the future, she needs to learn how to go shopping by herself. She can't always rely on Sister Li to take her."

"Yes, I will go and call her right away."

"We'll meet at the door."

After Wen Qingzhi finished speaking, she took Jiang Yao and her son out. Before leaving, she asked Sister Li to take Xiaoxiao to wash up first and let her serve them when she came back.

"I'll buy you and Xiao Shitou a maid later. Xiao Xiao can't see, so it's inconvenient for her."

"Ugh!"

Jiang Yao sighed, "Let's talk about it later. If I replace the servants as soon as I come back, Xiaoxiao will be sad too."

"it is good."

Wen Qingzhi nodded and walked back and forth anxiously looking for Jiang Yao and her son. She didn't pay much attention to Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao was born blind?"

She asked.

"No."

Jiang Yao shook her head. "She could see before. But last year, she said she couldn't see clearly, and then... she couldn't see anymore."

"It is my fault."

Jiang Yao blamed herself, "It's my fault that I don't have the ability and money to hire a doctor for Xiaoxiao, so I delayed her!"

Over the years, Xiaoxiao has been with Jiang Yao, but she has never given her a penny of monthly salary.

At first, Xiao Xiao followed her to do some handicrafts to earn money, but after she became blind, she could only do menial tasks. From time to time, she would go home and ask for a couple of pieces of meat to eat for her and Xiao Shitou.

"so……"

After hearing this, Wen Qingzhi thought to herself that she would go back and see if she could save him.

After going out into the streets, as they had expected, many people were pointing and talking at them.

Jiang Yao shrank her head in embarrassment. Every time she shrank, Wen Qingzhi lifted her up.

"There are so many rumors in the world, do you have to care about every one of them?"

Wen Qingzhi stood straight, not caring about the looks of people around her.

"First, buy a few ready-made clothes to wear, then buy some good material and make a few more new clothes."

Jiang Yao had helped her a lot before, and she should repay him regardless of whether Xiao Shitou was Wen Qingli's child or not.

Several people came to a ready-made clothing store. As soon as they entered, Wen Qingzhi asked the clerk to find clothes according to the sizes of Jiang Yao and her son, regardless of the price.

The waiter was naturally delighted to hear this and pulled Jiang Yao over to look at the latest styles. "My dear, these are all made of the finest cloud yarn. Feel them, they feel cool and perfect for summer wear."

"And this one, made of Xiangyunsha, has a bright color and feels comfortable."

"And brocade. This coat with a white butterfly pattern is very popular lately."

Jiang Yao had never seen such good material before. She was overwhelmed and didn't know which one to buy.

"These...are not cheap, right?"

Jiang Yao looked at Wen Qingzhi, bit her lower lip, and said to the waiter, "I, I just want a cotton set."

"Ah this..."

The waiter looked at Wen Qingzhi awkwardly, somewhat at a loss, "Boss, this..."

"My boss?"

Jiang Yao was surprised, "Azhi, you..."

"Sister-in-law, this shop belongs to the Wen family. It was previously occupied by evil slaves, but now I have taken it back."

Wen Qingzhi took a sip of tea and looked at the recent account books of the clothing store. "The profits are not bad."

"Thanks to the pictures you provided, the clothes we made are indeed popular."

"I'll have someone send me new ideas later."

"Yes."

Jiang Yao watched her interacting with the waiter and was so surprised that she was speechless.

"Sister-in-law, please ask them to take your measurements and then send all the styles and colors in the shop to your house."

Wen Qingzhi didn't even raise her head and said generously, "I want ready-made clothes for the children, too."

"Yes, boss."

"Too much!"

Jiang Yao refused, "Azhi, these are all for silver, don't give them to me!"

"What does it matter? It's not much different from you and the child."

After that, she put down the booklet and said, "Pick out two sets to take home first, and then we'll pick out some jewelry for you."

"Don't don't."

Jiang Yao waved her hand, "I don't want the jewelry! I really don't want this, and you don't have to spend money..."

"Well, come pick one from my place when you get back."

Her parents were very kind to her, and there were countless clothes and jewelry in their house.

When the time comes, let Jiang Yao go over and pick out two pieces she likes.

"Hey, isn't that the idiot from the Wen family?"

As the two were talking, a sarcastic voice came from behind them, "What, the fool is no longer stupid, and all he knows is to go out and squander money?"

Looking back, I saw Jiang Ying and another person coming in at the same time.

Jiang Ying immediately put on a triumphant attitude when she saw Wen Qingzhi. But when she noticed Jiang Yao was carrying a child, she frowned, "Jiang Yao, did you really give birth to a child for the Wen family?"

Jiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

She thought of what Wen Qingzhi had said and admitted it generously.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Jiang Ying cursed, "How many of the Wen family members can have a good ending? Even if you follow a beggar, it's better than following the Wen family!"

"This is my business, none of your business."

Perhaps it was because Wen Qingzhi was by her side, which gave her a great sense of security, that she now dared to talk back to Jiang Ying.

"How dare you talk back?"

The woman who came with Jiang Ying frowned, "How dare you, a concubine's daughter, speak to the legitimate daughter like that?"

There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, which is an eternal truth.

To put it nicely, Jiang Yao was a concubine's daughter, and was treated like a sister to Jiang Ying. To put it bluntly, even Jiang Yao's mother could only call herself a "slave" in front of Jiang Ying.

She is just a servant.

Jiang Yao's face flushed immediately, she hugged Xiao Shitou tightly and lowered her head.

"If I don't talk back, will I talk back?"

Wen Qingzhi spoke suddenly, startling the man.

"What did you say?"

She flicked her handkerchief and said, "He's really unruly! He was born by a mother but not raised by her!"

Wen Qingzhi's indifferent expression remained unchanged. "Talk about your mother."

"what?"

She didn't understand.

Wen Qingzhi was not interested in the intrigues between these little girls.

She took Jiang Yao away. The girl grabbed Wen Qingzhi's hand and said, "Hmph, you're leaving now because you can't argue?"

Wen Qingzhi remembered that this person was called Wang Han, the daughter of Wang Zhengqian, the Minister of Rites, and was good friends with Jiang Ying.

"You, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, are trying to stop me, the daughter of a First Rank General. Do you think you're a mother?"
