Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 191 The Emperor will interfere with his nephew’s family affairs

After Li Ling came out of the tent, Xu Wanning took off the mink velvet on his body, threw it aside, and muttered: "It's too hot in this tent. Sitting here, I can't wear this thing."

The third girl glanced at the mink fur that Xu Wanning had taken off, and said casually: "Sister-in-law, this mink fur is shiny and the workmanship is so meticulous. Is it a new one made by you?"

Seeing the third girl mention this, Xu Wanning picked up the mink velvet again and said with a smile: "I just made it the day before yesterday. This fur is actually better than the previous ones."

Such a fine mink velvet cloak is worth several thousand taels of silver each. The third girl curled her lips and joked: "Sister-in-law has made six or seven mink velvet cloaks this winter, right?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "If you like it, I will give you two pieces each when I go back."

Jingshu echoed: "You are so rich these days, I'm afraid your shops and fields have harvested a lot this year."

Xu Wanning patted Jingshu's hand, glanced at the third **** the side and said, "Look, your second sister-in-law is indeed the head of the family, she can tell the mystery at a glance."

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "Last year, I harvested two villages with four to five hundred acres of fertile land. Early in the morning, I heard people say that floods occur every year in the south, the epidemic is severe, and the medicinal materials on the market are often out of stock. This spring, I ordered them to The two newly harvested villages have all planted medicinal herbs, and they will be harvested in the fall."

Xu Wanning deliberately kept her secret and said to Jingshu and the third girl: "Guess how much I earned, you two?"

The third girl’s eyes widened, she raised **** tremblingly, and said hesitantly: “Twenty thousand taels?”

Jingshu thought for a while and guessed: "It is estimated to be no less than 70,000 to 80,000 taels."

Xu Wanning smiled and stretched out two palms towards them: "A full one hundred thousand taels."

Even though the third girl, who was supported by the princess mother, heard this number, her eyes widened. She was so surprised that she could stuff an egg in her mouth: "Sister-in-law, you are so capable, aren't you?"

Xu Wanning fiddled with the purple gold silk bracelet on her wrist and said proudly: "This does not include the shops that I have carefully run. After this year, my real estate shops will have an income of at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan."

The third girl put her arms around Xu Wanning and said, "You are so smart about making money! Sister-in-law, you are really a hero among women. I admire you! I admire you!"

Xu Wanning sighed and said with a smile: "Unlike your second sister-in-law, I am protected by your second brother everywhere. I have to rely on myself for everything. If I don't work hard, how can I succeed?"

She patted the third **** the head: "These heroes among women are all women who have no support and are forced to be strong. So, in the future, you have to keep your eyes open when looking for a husband. Find someone who really cares about you. Naturally, you don't need to be yourself." Please take the trouble."

Jingshu interrupted Xu Wanning and said, "Don't teach the children badly."

She said to the third girl: "Women still need to be self-reliant. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else."

Xu Wanning joked: "You are standing and talking without pain in your back. In this world, if your husband is not willing to love you and think about you, no matter how strong a woman is, how strong can she be? Just like me, if it weren't for a tall man With the support of my mother-in-law, that old boy Li Xian might have reconciled with me long ago. If he is divorced, no matter how strong I am, what can I do? I don’t want to go to the family temple to eat fast and pray to Buddha."

 The sister-in-law has a fierce temper. Even if she cannot rely on her eldest brother, she can still make a lot of money. This is a kind of strength. The second sister-in-law is quiet and reserved. She can hold the cold and cold second brother tightly with her heart. Although she is not of high birth, she can control the whole family with her wisdom. This is a kind of strength that is more tenacious and lasting.

The third girl looked at the two sisters-in-law who were arguing over her, and said with a smile: "Then in the future I will not only be like the second sister-in-law, find a husband who knows how to love others, but also be like the elder sister-in-law, be self-reliant and make money. This way. , I just can’t suffer any loss.”

Jingshu and Xu Wanning were made to laugh by the third girl.

The three sisters-in-law and sister-in-law were talking carefully here, and the tent curtain was suddenly opened.

　　A familiar and delicate voice sounded: "I'm coming in like this, so I won't disturb you, right?"

 The three of them looked up and saw that it was none other than the Ninth Princess Qingluan.

Qingluan entered the tent, with a smile on his face, and said lightly to Jingshu: "I saw that there was no one at the door, so I came in on my own. My second cousin sister-in-law would not fail to welcome me."

When the third girl saw Qingluan, her originally smiling face darkened. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Wanning, who was sitting next to her.

Xu Wanning's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say, so she turned her head and looked at Jing Shu.

Jingshu looked at Qingluan with no expression on her face. She just replied lightly: "Cousin Huang, come and sit down."

Qingluan sat over with a dull face. She looked at Jingshu and asked, "Where has my cousin gone?" Xu Wanning and the third girl didn't know what she was thinking. They were both stunned when they heard this and looked at her in unison. Jingshu.

Jingshu said calmly: "My husband went hunting with His Highness the Crown Prince. Is there something wrong with my cousin looking for her husband?"

Qingluan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Listen to what my cousin said, can't I come to look for my cousin if nothing happens?"

This is really shocking to say.

It is extremely inappropriate for a princess who has grown up to have haircuts to find a man for nothing, even if she is a cousin.

The third girl glanced at Qingluan in surprise, with a worried look on her face, and asked, "Cousin, are you sick again these days?"

This royal cousin has been weak since she was born. Last winter she came to stay at the house for a few days and she would cry inexplicably. Now she seems to be in a bad state of mind.

 It’s really scary!

Xu Wanning glanced at Jing Shu with a look of surprise on her face, and asked Qingluan tentatively: "What kind of wrong has the emperor's cousin suffered?"

Facing the questions from the third girl and Xu Wanning, Qingluan did not answer. Her eyes swept across their faces and landed directly on Jingshu's face.

She raised her head slightly and said with a half-smile: "I am a princess, who dares to inflict injustice on me without good reason?"

She stared straight at Jingshu and asked, "Second cousin sister-in-law, do you think so?"

Jingshu knew that she was narrow-minded and stubborn, and that even arguing was a waste of time, so she just smiled helplessly and did not answer her words.

Qingluan was not annoyed when she saw that Jingshu ignored her. She stood up and said to Jingshu: "I came to talk to my cousin about something. Since my cousin is not here, I will leave."

 As she said that, she was about to walk out.

Qingluan walked a few steps, then turned back, still looking straight at Jingshu, with a smile on his face, and said in a provocative tone: "Since my cousin can't give birth to an heir for my cousin, why not give up the throne as soon as possible. "

She paused and said with a smile: "Even if you don't want to give up the throne now, my father and aunt won't tolerate you. We'll just wait and see."

After saying that, she straightened her waist and walked out of the tent with her head half raised.

After Qingluan left for a while, a few people recovered from their shock.

The third girl looked at Xu Wanning and then at Jing Shu, stroking her chest and saying, "What's wrong with cousin Huang? Is it because she's mentally ill?"

Xu Wanning twitched her lips: "She looks quite scary."

The third girl asked in confusion: "Why does she keep asking for the second brother? Could it be that she was wronged in the palace again and wants the second brother to stand up for her?"

Xu Wanning naturally did not expect that Qingluan, a princess, would fall in love with Li Ling, who was already married. This is a serious crime. No one can or dares to think about it.

She said with a sneer: "It must be so. I may have suffered so much injustice this time that my cousin is not in good spirits."

Jingshu sat aside, listening to the conversation between Xu Wanning and the third girl. Although she remained silent, she couldn't help but make calculations in her heart.

Qingluan said that the emperor and mother-in-law would not tolerate her. What happened?

 Could it be that the emperor would interfere with his nephew's family background, or the eldest princess could not tolerate her daughter-in-law, who was unable to have children.

If it is true as Qingluan said, then she should think of some countermeasures earlier.
