The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 21 Queen’s goddaughter
Facing a large number of accounts, Yuan had a headache.

Even if you are used to it and have all the accounts in your mind, it still feels a little confusing when you have to hand over something you have taken for many years.

More than ten years!She fumbled with these things, her heart aching and heavy.

Since she was a child, she has been proficient in poems, songs, and calligraphy. She can even comment on the depth of each year's examination questions.But for these general affairs, it is really unreasonable.

After getting married, he followed him to serve abroad.

Being away from home is no better than being at home. Her husband is busy with official duties, and she has to take care of the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation.When I first came into contact, I had no idea, so I was in a hurry and made a lot of mistakes.

Fortunately, men can tolerate it.

To live your life, you have to spend money!Especially if I want to be particular about it.

It didn't take long for him to give these to himself.Faced with such a large and complex industry, she worries a lot.During those days, I was busy working day and night, asking for advice, and planning.

There is the annoyance of taking a detour, but also the pride of unexpected gains.It can be said that these industries are what they are today because of her hard work.Looking at this neat account, I remember every income clearly.

And the expenses... She didn't know why, but she was overly cautious at that time.

Only a large sum of money was recorded and marked as withdrawn by the husband.

Then, those expenses are in her own small account.

Her daughter and her own clothes and jewelry, socializing with her best friends, hiring a master for her daughter, subsidizing her parents' family... I just looked through it from the beginning and realized that she has spent a lot of money over the years.

She had forgotten some of the expenses...

This is how the loss was made, otherwise how could it be paid?

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal...

To enter the social circle of ladies in the capital, to entrust your daughter to the circle of ladies in the capital, to find a good husband-in-law for your daughter, and then a dowry...

She has seen those wives of officials who had no property at home, and they took action to find out.Do I want to be like them?So for whom have you worked hard for more than ten years?
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards my husband.With his ability, why can't he block it?How did it get to this point?
Wen Huan came in and saw her mother's expression solemn. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan didn't look at her, "Sit down."

Why are you so serious?Wen Huan sat down carefully, "Are you looking at the account?"

Yuan was silent until her daughter became nervous, "Mom... what's wrong with you?"

After closing the account book, she said calmly: "My mother has taught you a lot in daily life. But after all, it is better to use facts to teach you clearly. This time, you have learned a lesson."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Wen Huan felt guilty.

"This time, not only was Wen Yu caught you buying gifts, but she was also used by her."

When Wen Huan heard this, she resisted instinctively, "Mom! Why do you say that?!"

"You are a big girl now. In two years, you will leave the court and start a family. Mom won't hide it from you..."

Her attitude made Wen Huan even more nervous.

"Your maternal grandfather's family has a good reputation, but the family property is not rich. When my mother got married, the dowry was very limited."

In fact, although it is not much, it is not as shabby as it was later.It was precisely because of her affair with Wen Qian that she became pregnant, which made her grandfather sick and later died.The family directed their anger at her and were extremely harsh on her.

If her husband hadn't given her his private room... that would be really shameful.

"After entering the house, my mother took up the post with your father. The post is not as good as at home. You can provide food, clothing, housing, transportation, maintain relationships, manage the servants, and educate your three siblings. It's all money. Although the Wen family and your father have no problem raising us. But, if you and I, mother and daughter, want to wear flowers as freely as we do now, we have to rely on these..." She patted the pile of account books, "This is... Wen Yu's mother's dowry."

Wen Huan blinked, his head a little blurry.

All along, whatever she wanted, she got.

But I never thought about where the money came from. Suddenly my throat became tight and I couldn't speak.

"When I first handed it over, it was very messy when the one in front left. But it took a lot of effort..."

"Mother... why are you bringing this up now?" Wen Huan suddenly felt something bad and asked cautiously.

"Wen Yu is here to ask for it."

"She, she wants it?! It's ridiculous...it's so ridiculous! Does she have to give it to her if she wants it? This is what your father gave you and you took care of it. Why should she give it to her if she wants it?!"

"Although my mother is taking care of it, and even though I earn enough money to be the main flower, it doesn't mean that these things are ours."

"You! But that's not what you said!" "There's nothing we can do... everything that can be moved has been moved. After processing, I purchased the property in my mother's name. But it's only a very small part. These cannot be moved. .”

"Mom, Wen Yu... Grandma and father don't want to see Wen Yu, who will make the decision for her?"

"Her uncle!"

"But didn't it mean that her uncle committed a crime and was demoted thousands of miles away?"

"He's back. Besides, she's just taking advantage of it. Do you understand?" Yuan looked at her daughter seriously, "Even if her uncle is white now. But with this name, she can take advantage of him."

"If a white man doesn't die, his father won't crush him to death!" Wen Huan said disdainfully.

"Your father is about to be promoted to Beijing, and I don't know how many people are watching with envy. That's why she has no fear."

"She is such a thief! Did her uncle teach her?!" Wen Huan suddenly realized.

"It's possible, but we won't speculate."

"Then why do you say it's because of your daughter?!" Wen Huan said unhappily, she couldn't stand this.

"Because you did something wrong, she took advantage of the situation and exposed the matter. Your eldest brother is getting married, and there are many people in the family. Besides, your grandfather is coming back."

When my sister heard about her grandfather, she felt a little depressed.I've only met him a few times, so I'm a little afraid of him.

"The two old men have been at odds for many years. Your father is outstanding and can support your grandmother. Your grandfather moved away so that your grandmother can laugh all day long. As long as your father can sit still, your grandfather will not be able to cause trouble. However, If something goes wrong with your father..."

Wen Huan was extremely angry, "Wen Yu is a bitch! Mother, since she has this intention, she will bring it up sooner or later. How can I blame my daughter?"

"You still don't understand... your grandfather may not know about the dowry. It's just that he doesn't care. But your father slapped Wen Yu..."

Wen Huan pursed her lips and looked at her mother nervously.

"The eldest daughter I haven't seen for many years. A man like your father would beat his daughter... If word spreads, the reputation of Wen Yu will be over, but how can your father be better? Your grandfather seized on the excuse and used it to overwhelm this party. ??”

"Why is it so..." This was beyond Wen Huan's understanding.

"Mom is telling you today, not to accuse you, but to repeat what I said to you before. If you want to go to higher places, you can't be stingy in doing things. Just to vent your anger, you will be caught doing stupid things, which is not worth the loss."

"Mother! My daughter understands." Although she was still convinced, she didn't insist anymore, "Then, do I really have to give these to her?"

"Give it!"

"Eh? Mother!" Wen Huan's eyes smiled, "Those people have been working under you for so long, and they still don't listen to you? If you stumble a little, she will be finished. Humph! Even if you burn her, you won't even give it to her!" "

"You didn't even listen to what I just said!!" Yuan suddenly became very stern, her voice sharp and harsh.

Wen Huan's eyes were red as he was yelled at.

Yuan did not coax her, but continued sternly: "Since you want to hand it over, hand it over happily! If you are not convinced or unwilling, just find a way to get your money back with interest later! But you can't be dragging your feet. You hide and don't let anyone look down on you! You usually feel very smart, why are you so stupid at this time!?"

"Mother... daughter..." After being scolded by her mother, she finally cried.

"Okay!" Yuan said impatiently, "Why are you crying!? The reason why my mother didn't coax you or listen to what you said is... At any time, people have to find a way for themselves to have the greatest advantages and the least disadvantages. way."

She raised her head and recalled her life, and that's what she did!
"You cannot get all the good things in the world. Only by giving up can you gain!"

She straightened her neck and said, "For example, this time, your father was very guilty of his mother. He gave all the property in his hands and his private house to her. When we were in the capital, we were the least affected by this. the impact of things.

If mother is capable, money can still make money.In the future... if there is a chance to get these back... wouldn't my mother have more in her hands than she does now? "

Yuan stroked the account book and showed a confident smile.

"Ah! Mom! You are so awesome! Yes, yes! We can definitely get it back! As long as we pass this level... it's just a girl. We need to find a way to kill her. Every cent is indispensable. Take back!"

"That's something for later." Mrs. Yuan looked at the pile of account books and wondered what a little girl could do?
If it was handed over to her, it would be wasted, and there's no telling what will happen to it when it's taken back in the future!
It hurts so much!
"Mom... don't be angry, let's just follow the established method."

"Yeah. I hope that through this, you will grow."

The Yuan family started to teach their daughters again. "After your father was promoted, the people he came into contact with were different from the past. Those people in the capital used their power to suppress others, hid their swords in their smiles, and built plank roads openly and secretly. Even my mother and I , we must study it seriously and experience it well.

If you want to get higher step by step, put gentle words under your feet.You must focus on the overall situation, be calm and calm, and keep your emotions and anger hidden.In the past few days, mother has been watching how you get along with Wen Yu.Don't let yourself be compared to an orphan girl! "

Yuan looked at her daughter sternly.

"Yes, mother!" Wen Huan thought that for the first time in his life, he felt that he needed to think more.
