Chapter 134 Who Wants to Take the Money
In the mansion of Marquis Chengping.
The eldest wife was in a joyful mood, especially Mrs. Liu, who had a rare smile on her face.
"Chun Yu, serve your master well when you go back. Make the medicine I gave you on time for her to drink. I spent a lot of money to get these medicines. I guarantee that she will get pregnant with a big fat boy."
"As long as she can successfully conceive and give birth to the child, the Song family will no longer be able to use the fact that she is childless to bully your master." Liu instructed carefully.
In her opinion, it is better to rely on herself than on the people of the third house. Only when Su Yingxue really gave birth to an heir for the Song family could she gain a firm foothold.
And it would be best if the first baby is a boy. In that case, the Song family will have to pamper their eldest daughter.
Then, according to the arrangements I made for her, she would succeed in becoming the wife of Marquis Pyeongchang sooner or later.
"Yes, Madam, I know." Chunyu knelt down and kowtowed.
She made this trip and the eldest lady was so happy that she gave her two taels of silver as a reward.
"Okay, go back quickly!"
Liu didn't keep Chunyu for long and sent her out directly.
As soon as the spring rain went away, Liu put away her joy. She saw Nanny Zhou coming back.
"How's it going? Did my second brother's wife deliver the money to the old lady?"
Liu asked. When she thought about having to take out 30,000 taels of silver, her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, every organ of hers felt terribly painful.
Su Qingwan, that damn scourge!
If she hadn't been showing off the gift from the emperor, how could her daughter have been implicated by the people from the second house?
That's right!
At this moment, Liu had already put the responsibility of taking her daughter to watch the fun on Su Qingwan's shoulders.
It's all her fault!
I don’t know what she did outside to attract so many people to give her gifts, and the palace also gave her rewards.
She took Yunrou to see what happened?
If Su Qingwan didn't want them to see it, she could have chased them away at that time, but she didn't do that. Who knows if she did it on purpose.
Now the old lady asked the two families to each take out 20,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 10,000 will come from the public treasury. Isn't this equivalent to robbing 30,000 taels from her?
"To reply to the First Madam, I saw the Second Madam go to the Old Madam's yard and she hasn't come out yet. I wanted to go and ask about the situation, but the Old Madam's yard is heavily guarded, so..."
When Madam Zhou said this, she was a little hesitant.
It's not that she has no ability, it's that she doesn't have enough money, and she doesn't have the ability to pry open those people's mouths.
"Got it. Keep watching them. If you see anyone coming out, find a chance to ask them."
Liu was short of money now, so she was not willing to spend it on finding out information that she would know sooner or later.
I gave Chunyu a reward just now because of my eldest daughter's face. After all, there are not many people in Pingchang Marquis' Mansion that Su Yingxue can use, and Chunyu is a servant of Chengping Marquis' Mansion, so naturally I have to treat her a little better, so that Su Yingxue can use people more easily.
At this moment in Rong'an Hall, Old Mrs. Kang was staring at Young Mrs. Kang with an unhappy expression.
Her niece, as soon as she came in front of her, started crying poor to her. She was really a shameless person.
"Okay, stop howling, I'm not dead yet!" said old Kang unhappily.
Xiaokang wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, feeling extremely miserable inside. It was one thing that her family members asked her for money, but now the old lady was also asking her for money.
They are trying to force her to death!
From the little dowry she had left, she could only make some money every year after renting out the two shops, but she could keep very little of it for herself.
Over the years, she had only saved less than five thousand taels of personal money. Now the old lady asked her to take out twenty thousand. Where could she find so much money?
Besides, this money is to be saved as Su Lihan's dowry.
"I feel so sad. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't cry out!" Xiaokang continued to cry.
Old Kang glanced at her, sighed, and said:
"Don't I know how much money you have? But now this matter involves your sister-in-law. If you don't take a penny, she will definitely not take out any money."
"So you give me 10,000 taels first, and for the remaining 10,000 taels, your second house will write an IOU, and then your eldest sister-in-law will naturally send the money over. If I have more money, won't you and your mother's family have an easier time?"
Old Kang has always been eyeing the money in Liu's hands, and now he just wants Young Kang to cooperate.
After listening to what Old Kang said, Xiao Kang felt a little relieved, but her heart trembled when she thought about taking out 12,000 taels of silver.
"Aunt, I don't even have ten thousand taels of silver." Xiaokang told the truth.
"If you don't have any, then find a way! Ten thousand taels is the lowest. A number that is too small won't do. Once I get the money back from Liu, I will naturally return your ten thousand taels." Old Kang glared at Young Kang as he spoke.
Xiaokang was angry!
But what could she do even if she was angry? Her aunt had said so much, she had no choice but to cooperate.
I could only wipe away my tears, stand up and bow to Old Kang, "I see, thank you for your consideration, aunt."
Old Mrs. Kang waved her hand and told her to leave quickly and stop hanging around in front of her, as it was an eyesore.
Xiaokang returned to her courtyard in a restless mood. Although the amount of silver was reduced by half, she still had to pay 10,000 taels of silver.
"Second Madam, what should we do?" Nanny Ji said worriedly.
Xiaokang had no idea what to do. She was extremely confused and even more heartbroken when she thought of her daughter still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
"It's all Su Yunrou's fault. Why did she push Li Han for no reason? If she hadn't pushed anyone, Yu Ruyi wouldn't have fallen to the ground, Li Han wouldn't have suffered, and we wouldn't have to pay compensation."
Xiaokang complained.
Nanny Ji also thought so. She saw it clearly at that time. The Second Miss pushed him over. If she hadn't pushed him over that time, there wouldn't have been all the disasters that followed.
"The Second Miss is really trying to harm our Miss. I really don't know what she is up to. Is she afraid that the Fifth Miss will compete with her for the King of Rui?"
Nanny Ji pursed her lips and spoke with disdain.
"Bah! Prince Rui is the fiancé of that bitch Su Qingwan, and Su Yunrou is trying to climb up to him. She is shameless and shameless, so don't drag our Li Han into it."
"Besides Prince Rui, aren't there other princes who are not married or engaged? No matter who you marry, you are marrying into the royal family."
At this moment, Xiaokang hated Liu and Su Yunrou, and only thought that if her daughter did not marry Prince Rui, she would have other princes to choose from.
Nanny Ji naturally followed her words, and for a moment, the master and servant cursed the mother and daughter of the first wife.
Liu was still waiting for Madam Zhou to inquire about the news of Rong'an Hall, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Madam Zhou come back. Instead, she heard the gatekeeper rushing into her yard and shouting:
"Madam, it's bad. The people from the Song family are making a fuss at the door."
