Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 238
While Ji was thinking, she glanced at Xu Yuanniang, who was standing aside with her hands down and her eyebrows down.Over the past few days, she has clearly seen that this Xu family is not easy to handle.I thought that when a merchant girl married into the Hou family, no matter how smart and neat she was originally, she would be timid because of the difference in family status. She would not dare to speak much, let alone be disobedient and resist.

Unexpectedly, this Xu Yuanniang is very cunning, and she seems to be obedient when she is fine. As soon as she mentions money, she immediately becomes slippery and sharp-tongued, which happens to make her speechless.She was really puzzled, how could a business woman be so familiar with official rules and even various "hidden" rules, and still use them so freely?That day Qiu Yanran had an argument with Xu Yuanniang, and even she had to admit that Xu Yuanniang looked more like a lady from aristocratic families than Qiu Yanran, and everything she said stood up, and she was not afraid of being spread. Qiu Yanran, on the other hand, although not as powerful as Qiu Yanran, Weak, if you curse, you can easily become the butt of a joke.

Humph, merchants are just merchants, they are short-sighted and can take a small amount of dowry very seriously!She married into the Marquis Mansion but was full of selfish motives. How could she be qualified to be the daughter-in-law of their Qiu family?
She really didn't believe it anymore. She couldn't beat a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl?I have only heard that it is difficult to be a daughter-in-law, how can a mother-in-law be helpless?
Xu Yuanniang, with her eyes lowered, sensitively felt Ji's gaze on her. She could confirm the hatred and contempt in that gaze without raising her eyes.

But so what?Since you have already thought everything through before getting married, what else is there to worry about?In fact, her dowry was negotiated between her and her parents, and she didn't put it all out in the open, just because she was worried about her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's jealousy and scheming.

The Hou's Mansion was more trapped than she thought. It was impossible for her not to spend any money. At least she had to help the Hou's Mansion stand up first and help him get a job smoothly.In any case, she is now the mistress of the Hou Mansion and the Hou Ye's wife. Only if the Marquis and the Hou Mansion are good, can she and her future children be good.

It's just that it's one thing for her to be willing to take it out, but it's another thing for her to be plotted against by Ji's mother and daughter.She wanted everyone in the Hou Mansion to see, so what if the merchant's daughter was born?She is the only second-grade imperial concubine in this house, and no one can manipulate her or plot against her at will.She is willing to give, but she is also giving for her own husband and children, rather than letting others take it from her, being a stupid money bag, and being looked down upon by others.

This time Qiu Yanran asked her to accompany him to visit Meizhuang. Her first reaction was that she was unwilling. She was not as short-sighted as these people and spent all day staring at Yin Zhiruo's dowry.There are so many rich people in the world, why don't they keep an eye on them?Don’t you think that orphans and orphans are easy to bully?And whether Yin Zhiruo is easy to bully? After all these things, so many losses, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion falling repeatedly, they still haven't realized it yet, and they still keep defeating and fighting, and they are still not satisfied?
Xu Yuanniang gradually learned a lot about the inside story of Yin Zhiruo's marriage. She was not sure if she would have the courage to reconcile if she were in Yin Zhiruo's position. Would she dare to set up a female household alone and live with her younger siblings?After all, this world treats women harshly. Even if a woman brings a large amount of money and property, it is not easy and even dangerous.

But Yin Zhiruo, a daughter of an official family who was said to be weak and naive, not only boldly divorced, but also quickly sought the protection of Magistrate Lin and Prince Jing, and started a "dim sum" business.

Before she went out, her father told her not to deliberately offend Yin Zhiruo.First, their identities are too sensitive and can easily attract criticism, causing harm to others and not self-interest.They are businessmen and never engage in loss-making business or unprofitable things; secondly, General Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin have a high reputation both in the military and among the people, and they have not done anything because of the so-called conspiracy. The negative suspicion was eliminated, especially after Yin Zhiruo came up with that "soldier's home".People in the officialdom are very discerning and act according to the direction of the wind. Prince Jing and Prefect Lin can control Meizhuang, naturally not just because of Tie Muyuan or money.

Of course, she herself didn't feel the need to provoke Yin Zhiruo, who was a woman she admired. They were destined not to be friends in this life, but there was no need to become enemies, right?As for Ji's mother and daughter, they seemed to regard Yin Zhiruo as their enemy, what did it have to do with her?

If it weren't for the fact that her curiosity about Yin Zhiruo and Meizhuang finally got the better of her, she wouldn't have acted like she had no choice but to submit to her overbearing sister-in-law.If she wants to reject Qiu Yanran, she has many ways.Haha, it has been a few days since she entered the Marquis Mansion, and Qiu Yanran, who has been working hard day and night, has never gotten a hairpin from her.

At this moment, when she heard Ji's words "If you don't see her, you'll see her", she was a little worried, worried that Qiu Yanran would really give up.On the one hand, Yin Zhiruo accepted the invitation but postponed it for two days, which made her more and more curious about Yin Zhiruo; on the other hand, Meizhuang had never taken the initiative to contact the Qiu family. Now that she accepted the invitation, the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion gave up. , doesn’t it look petty?Who doesn’t know that dim sum business is good?It's normal for Yin Zhiruo to be busy looking at the account books.

If it were Qiu Yanran in the past, she would have listened to her mother's words and put on airs and "disappeared", but now she has intentions that even her mother doesn't know about, so how could she give up?

"I want to see you," Qiu Yanran said resolutely, raising her chin proudly, "Of course I want to see you! It's just a two-day postponement, and I'm fine. If I can't say it right now, I'll be put down, which makes me look stingy. ?" This was unexpected at all. Didn't she come back in vain?She, Qiu Yanran, is no longer the little girl who only knows how to show off her temper.

"Indeed," Ji Shi suddenly woke up, and immediately her face filled with pride and relief, "I'm so angry, but my Yan'er is still smart and calm. But Yan'er, don't you always like to hear us mention Yin Zhiruo? ? Why do you suddenly think of going to see her? You want your sister-in-law to go with you. People don’t know but they think we are trying to catch her at Plum Village. When the new lady comes in, we have to go and see her. "

Qiu Yanran sneered coldly: "Why don't you think so? We have a high profile. We have always had a clear conscience, and we have never been in trouble with her Yin Zhiruo. If there is any entanglement, it's just her Yin Zhiruo who can't let go. In our eyes, She is still the daughter of a family friend, so she must be taken care of. No, my eldest brother is getting married, and it is not convenient to invite the Yin Zhiruo siblings who are still observing filial piety, so we can only come to greet her at home. "

Ji's eyes lit up, right?Words are all in people's mouths, and when her Yan'er said this, it was true.

A flash of light flashed in Xu Yuanniang's half-cast eyes, this Qiu Yanran is not stupid at all!However, there was a hint of viciousness in her tone that should not belong to her age, as if she really had some deep grudge against Yin Zhiruo?Just because the Hou Mansion failed to plot against Yin Zhiruo many times?
