Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 438

Yin Bohong frowned: "But haven't you always been managing these businesses? You've dumped them all on your mother, how can she possibly manage them?"

Shen Lingxia said calmly, "If you can't manage it, then don't. Money is just an external thing. In this life, we should have higher pursuits. Why bother with such petty schemes for a few coins?"

These were the things Yin Bohong often said when he used to look down on her.

He was a lofty and talented poet, while she was just an ordinary mortal in the world, on a completely different level from him, and unable to understand his realm.

Now that she's returning those words to him verbatim, I think he should be able to understand them completely, right?

Shen Lingxia said sincerely, "Look how enlightened I am now. Just like your Miss Shuang and the women of the Yin family, I spend my days reading, reciting poetry, painting, arranging flowers, cultivating my mind and character. I don't have to think about those mundane affairs, and now I really feel that my spiritual world is much more ethereal, clear, and lucid!"

Yin Bohong: "......"

What is all this nonsense?!

How could she ignore these mundane affairs!

Madam Yin is currently overwhelmed with worries about these shops and estates. She has to spend money here and there, and in the past few days, she has already emptied the public funds account.

But none of the shops were able to open normally, not to mention the estate; even if there were profits, they would have to wait until the autumn harvest.

The key issue is that he's out of money now!

Shen Lingxia used to think that he made friends through literature and had a wide circle of acquaintances. Moreover, he always bought the best writing materials and frequently bought rare books and paintings, so his expenses must be very high.

The couple's monthly allowance was almost entirely for his use, and they would also subsidize him with a considerable amount of money every now and then. After all, she managed the Yin family's businesses and had a substantial income, so she always managed to keep some money for herself.

He didn't really like taking money from Shen Lingxia, but she would insist on giving it to him, afraid that he wouldn't have enough money to spend outside and would lose face, or that he would come across a masterpiece he liked but wouldn't have the money to buy it, leaving him with regrets.

That's why Yin Bohong was able to support Jian Qingshuang and Yin Hancheng for over ten years, and also allow them to live a very comfortable life.

But recently, Shen Lingxia hasn't given him a single penny for quite some time.

His monthly salary and the stipend from his position as a compiler at the Hanlin Academy were barely enough for himself, let alone to support two more people.

He went to find Madam Yin, but she was already having a headache and didn't have much spare money to give him.

He had a major falling out with his family over Jian Qingshuang back then. Madam Yin didn't like Jian Qingshuang monopolizing him and didn't want to spend a penny more on her.

That's why Yin Bohong was forced to come to Shen Lingxia.

Shen Lingxia has managed the Yin family's business for so many years, and now that she has reconciled with her maternal family, she must be very well-off with their support.

Yin Bohong had never asked Shen Lingxia for money before, and he couldn't bring himself to do it now. With a straight face, he said stiffly, "I'm going to a poetry gathering tomorrow."

Shen Lingxia calmly turned a page of her book: "Alright, I wish my husband a flow of inspiration and talent that amazes everyone."

Yin Bohong: "......"

He's already asked her for money, shouldn't she offer him the money?

How come you've become so oblivious!

After Shen Lingxia finished answering, seeing that Yin Bohong was still standing there, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else, husband?"

Haha, asking her for money and then putting on such an air of superiority, who are you trying to impress?

Yin Bohong's face turned black!

But for the sake of his beloved and son, he had no choice but to temporarily set aside his pride and bluntly state his purpose:
