Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 101
Prince Liang's mansion has already been locked.

The boy in the porter heard a knock on the door outside.

After asking a while, I learned that it was the old lady of Cheng Enbo's mansion who came.

He hurriedly ordered the boy to go in and communicate.

Everyone in Prince Liang's mansion had already rested.

Because the old lady came to the door in person and was so anxious.

Everyone had to get up.

The old lady begged Mrs. Liang again and again, and promised not to ask Brother Chong to marry Miss Xue's family.

The old lady said it sincerely.

Everyone in the Liang Mansion did not know the inside story.

Seeing the old lady like this, they all turned around and persuaded Mrs. Liang.

Cheng Enbotong's wife, Mrs. Liang, was framed.

In the end, the eldest son of Cheng Enbo's mansion followed the old lady back to the Bo's mansion overnight.

After the old lady invited the big house back, her high-hanging heart finally calmed down a little.

But in the end, it was still because of something on his mind that he had a severe fever at night.

The nanny went out of the house overnight to invite the doctor.

Naturally, all the rooms in the uncle's house got up to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was dizzy with fever.

No one should call.

Fortunately, after the doctor came to see the old lady, he performed acupuncture again.

The high fever on the old lady showed signs of subsiding.

The old lady, who was still talking nonsense before, was served by her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liang, and her fifth daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ding.

In the end, it took half a bowl of medicine.

People also fell into a deep sleep.

Nanny Yuan sent away the masters and wives of each house.

She couldn't sleep tonight, she stayed by the old lady's side personally.

Fortunately, the old lady woke up early in the morning and heard that there was a scene last night.

Then he ordered someone to send a message that there is no need for his daughters-in-law to come to say hello today.

Although she was ill, the old lady was not idle at all. She ordered Nanny Yuan to go to the eldest lady Liang's place and inquire about the money that could be moved by the uncle.

He also ordered people to take out the possessions he had saved over the years and liquidate them.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, sent the third master to court, and called her daughter Ye Jingzhao to have breakfast together.

There were only two bowls of light white porridge on the table, plus a pickle, a stir-fried lotus root slice, and a steamed egg with minced meat.

The breakfast menu in the uncle's house is the same in every room, except that there will be two more dishes in the old lady's room.

If you want to add additional dishes, you need to take money and go to the big kitchen to prepare.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, wanted to save for her daughter's dowry.

Life in the third room is a bit tight.

Ye Jingzhao looked at the breakfast on the table and felt sorry for his mother.

As soon as I sat down, I picked up the porridge and ate half of it.

She was a little full, so she put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to her mother, "Mom, there is no need to be so frugal."

"I didn't have the ability to save much money for you brothers and sisters before, but now that I have returned to the uncle's mansion, I finally got the chance, and life has improved a little bit. Seeing that you have already made a marriage, although it is still early..."

"But if all the dowry comes from your husband's family, I'm afraid you will be criticized by your husband's family if you marry me."

"Besides, once your elder brother has decided on his marriage, it's time to get married. Before you leave the cabinet, let your brother marry a bride."

"Mother's wish has been fulfilled."

Although the third lady Xie's face is full of sorrow, but thinking about the future of her children, she feels a little bit worried after all.

I thought that when things waited, life would gradually get better.

Ye Jingzhao did not agree with his mother's thoughts, "Mom, if you just rely on saving food, how can you save much money?"

"I understand too, but..."

The third wife, Xie Shi, was halfway through her speech, annoyed that she had nothing else to do.

"Mother, Mrs. Mu, Madam Zhao, secretly gave me a lot of land deeds for her dowry, shop and land."

Ye Jingzhao talked about the box that was found when checking the dowry that day.

I didn't tell my mother before because I was afraid that my parents would think too much.

Secondly, she planned to observe secretly for some time before mentioning it.

I see my mother is in trouble for money now.

She just said it.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, was full of astonishment, "Zhao Zhao, this..."

"Mother, Mrs. Mu believed in me, so she entrusted it to me. She is now in the Hou's mansion. After all, it is inconvenient. I thought, and learned something secretly, so that it can be regarded as repaying Mrs. Mu's kindness."

"Furthermore, my daughter will return all the profit money to Mrs. Mu and will not keep it for herself."

"It's just that my daughter is thinking, if she learns this skill, why don't we open a shop too."

In this uncle's mansion, the wives of each house actually have some shops, large and small, in the capital.

Only the third wife, Mrs. Xie, did not have such a dowry back then because her family background was not rich enough.

The uncle's monthly money is not much.

During those years in Song County, the uncle's mansion had already cut off the monthly payment of the third house.

It's not easy to have enough food and clothing, so why bother to buy a shop?

The third wife Xie thought for a moment.

She also understands the reason why children cannot be entangled with wolves.

"Forget it, but since you have this thought, if you go out of the house every day, I'm afraid your grandmother won't follow you."

The wives and ladies in the mansion must report to the old lady in advance when they leave the mansion.

Women's relatives are not like men, they can come and go freely.

"Don't worry for now, it will be much more convenient when we move out of the mansion." Ye Jingzhao said as he planned.

Ms. Xie shook her head. She was afraid that leaving the house would not be possible.

"Mom, this is the best opportunity for Qiu Hong. As long as father takes action on this matter, we won't be afraid that the old lady won't allow us to move out."

Ye Jingzhao told his mother his plan in detail.

Now the Xue family will definitely make trouble again.

And even though Qiu Hong was kicked out of the mansion earlier, she was the third lady's maid after all.

It would be ugly if word spread that my nephew had hooked up with his aunt's maid.

It's just that I have to make my mother suffer some grievances.

"That's fine. You don't have to worry about your mother. Moving out is the best way."

Third Madam Xie said without hesitation.

In the old lady's courtyard.

The result of counting was far from the 20 taels of silver that the Xue family asked for.

The public can embezzle only 6 taels of silver.

He only left part of his body to free up 8 taels of silver.

The old lady looked at the account book and was worried.

Only then did I regain some energy, and because of this, I wasted a lot of energy.

Although he was already wearing a thick coat, he also burned the earth dragon in the house and added two charcoal pots.

The body was still shaking.

Nanny Yuan took a thick blanket and wrapped it around the old lady.

The old lady held a hand stove in her hand.

This eased up a little.

"It's still a bit worse after all. There's no other way at the moment. I can only force my second brother to come up with some money to make up for the shortfall."

The old lady said what she had in mind.

Yuan Nanny was full of worries, "I'm afraid that the Second Madam won't comply..."

She didn't mention the second master, and she didn't want to disturb the old lady.

Although they knew each other well, the first one to jump out and object was probably the second master.

But it's not easy for the son to bear the crime, so naturally the daughter-in-law was chosen to bear it.

"Heh, if she doesn't obey, I will kick her out of the uncle's house. Back then, she was only the second child. It's lucky to have Jiang's family as Yue's family. Look now."

"How did she teach Brother Yun? The second wife was really destroyed at the hands of that vicious woman."

"Go, call me Jiang."
