"From tomorrow on, Madam, you will work with Concubine Dong to manage the affairs of the mansion and take charge of the household expenses." Jiang Shusen put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Jiang Weishi. "Madam, from now on, everything must be discussed with Concubine Dong."

Jiang Fugui lowered his head, seemingly peeling an orange without paying any attention to what was happening outside, but in fact he was listening to Jiang Shusen with his ears perked up.

It can be said that what Jiang Shusen said to Jiang Weishi just now was already saving her face in front of the younger generations, and he didn't say anything harsh.

However, Jiang Weishi didn't think so. She even felt a hint of humiliation from her husband.

"I, I don't agree! How can a concubine be in charge of household chores? Even if she is a noble concubine, that's not allowed!"

Since ancient times, among the aristocratic families and wealthy nobles, which one did not have the wife take care of the household affairs and manage the finances?

If anyone favors his concubine over his wife and lets his concubine take charge of household chores, he will be criticized if the news gets out!

"What do I need you to agree to?" Jiang Shusen's face was livid, his thick eyebrows twisted into knots, and his voice was clearly trying very hard to hold back. "As long as Mother agrees and I agree, that's all that's fine. Besides, I'm not stopping you from managing the household, nor am I letting Concubine Dong take over completely. You two sisters should manage the affairs of the mansion together, and discuss things through consultation. Only then can Mother and I feel at ease."

Jiang Shusen's words were actually very straightforward, and he was just about to break the last layer of window paper.

Jiang Fugui handed the peeled orange to Old Lady Jiang. Seeing that she wanted to speak, Old Lady Jiang shook her head imperceptibly, raised her chin towards Jiang Shusen and Jiang Weishi, and asked her to continue listening.

"Why?"

Jiang Wei was furious. Before coming, she and her two daughters had discussed countermeasures, which were nothing more than how to resolve the matter of Piaomiao Linglong Pavilion.

No matter what, the main purpose is for the fifth prince!

However, she didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly...

Jiang Shusen was furious at Jiang Weishi's unconvinced look. "Why do you do that? Do you dare to ask for the money back in person?"

The person referred to is naturally the current fifth prince, Gong Yujin.

Not to mention that Jiang Weishi doesn't have the courage, Jiang Huagui also doesn't have the courage at the moment. He has no loan note and no collateral. What can he do if the other party doesn't acknowledge it?

Could it be possible that they would really go to the drum at the second gate of Shangjing City and beat the drum to complain, accusing the prince of borrowing money and not paying it back?

It is said that the class of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans is divided into five classes. Even if the Jiang family is the richest family in the world, they are still of the lower class. How can they be compared with the noble Tian family?

What if the lawsuit fails and you are punished instead, all your property is confiscated and your entire family is implicated? What will you do then?

Jiang Wei was completely speechless and slumped back into her chair. She had no way of arguing. Hua'er had helped the Fifth Prince bid, and it was she who had tacitly approved it...

Afterwards, Jiang Wei looked towards Jiang Huagui for help, but Jiang Huagui gave her a firm look that told her to be patient and be patient.

Seeing that Jiang Weishi had stopped causing trouble, Jiang Shusen turned around and went to the other side to instruct Aunt Dong, "You should help Madam with some of the household affairs. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask Madam and discuss it with her before making any decisions."

"Okay, Master, I've got it all in mind."

Aunt Dong responded neither arrogantly nor humbly. She was a little flattered at the moment.

Because she didn't know what had happened exactly, she could only make a rough guess from Jiang Shusen's words. She thought that Jiang Wei was in trouble, and it was a big trouble.
