The second lady suddenly raised her head, "Did he do it?"
Mother Zhao said calmly: "It may not be the second master, maybe it's the third lady..."
"Hmph, everyone has already entered the house, why are you still holding on to who? Anyway, they are not good things! You have to go against me!"
"Madam, don't worry, be careful if you are worried. There will always be a way to solve the problem. When we get to our territory, we can't let her run wild."
Wei Baozhu said with a sullen face: "How confident is Wen Yuniang that she dares to follow dad into the house like this? Is it possible that she relies on dad to protect her?"
Mother Zhao said: "Yang San said that this time the master was promoted, in addition to smoothing the relationship with the master, he also received extra money..."
"Silver? Where did he get the money?"
The second lady had a bad feeling. She didn't know what the Wei family's background was?
"Aunt Wen gave me the money..."
Like a bolt from the blue, the look on the second lady's face was chapped.
Mother Zhao opened her mouth, not knowing how to persuade her.
When she saw Wen Yuniang just now, she knew that this woman was not the daughter of an ordinary merchant. A small merchant could not raise a daughter of such magnanimity.
Today, the Holy Emperor is a wise king, the country is at peace and the people are prosperous. Businessmen are springing up from all over the country, especially those who are involved in transporting salt and iron by water. They are all wealthy businessmen. The Wen family is slightly inferior, but they are also the leaders among businessmen.
Although these merchants lack the dignity of the scholarly and powerful families, they can still accumulate education and knowledge with money!
Some merchants will even pay high prices to invite famous officials and nuns who were raised from the palace to teach their children at home.
This Wen Yuniang is obviously well-read and knowledgeable.
Mother Zhao sighed, "If she were an ordinary woman, it wouldn't be a big deal if she entered the house. It would be easier to handle if she had it handy. She would just find a wrong place to deal with it in the future. Who knows..."
The second lady's nails scraped on the fabric of the clothes, "Mother is more valuable than her son, plus countless silver, it is even more expensive. The Wei family can't wait to have more concubines like this, so why not?" How do you worry about the mood of me, the failed wife of my natal family!"
Wei Baozhu said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that my father has been lying to my mother for so many years! He must have been deceived by that woman for a while!"
The second lady, who had a lot of experience after all, did not comment on this statement and asked Mother Zhao: "You sent her to Suochun Pavilion, what did she say?"
Mother Zhao shook her head, "I didn't say anything, I just said thank you."
The Second Madam said in a deep voice: "Everyone should give orders everywhere. Just do what you have to do. Don't let me lose face. No one is allowed to act rashly until you figure out her path!"
"Yes, ma'am."
The third lady followed him out of Heyan Hall, looked at the second lady who was walking in front, covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said to Princess Yuanheng next to her: "Second uncle arranged for Aunt Wen, mother and son to move far away. Apparently he wanted to keep the second sister-in-law out of sight, but in fact, out of sight and out of sight were mutual. He simply wanted to keep Wen Yuniang and her son away from the second sister-in-law, so that they would not be under her nose every day, saying and doing anything. Stare.”
Hearing this, Princess Yuanheng didn't have a frozen face for the first time and said, "It's enough to know some things in your heart. Why bother saying it to disturb people's dreams?"
"Yes, yes, the princess said yes!"
The third lady smiled with a smile on her face and looked at Wei Laner, "What are you going to do?"
Wei Laner held on to Li Qingyi and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm going to talk to Sister Li for a while."
Wei Jin'er then said to Princess Yuanheng: "Mom, I'm going to Sister Li's place too."
Princess Yuanheng glanced at Wei Laner's hand holding Li Qingyi's hand and nodded.
The third lady glanced at Princess Yuanheng's expression and said, "Then you little sisters, have fun."
The few people agreed and returned to Li Qingyi's Zhuoxiang Courtyard.
The hatred in Wei Laner's heart for the last time he returned to Chonghua Palace had not yet passed. At this time, he was very excited to see the misfortune of the mother and daughter of the second wife.
"I see that my second uncle is very fond of Aunt Wen. Our fifth brother is really loved by others. It doesn't matter if he is a concubine. As long as he can be liked by his grandmother, he still has a future, right?"
The Wei family is not as rich as other powerful people in the capital, so what Mrs. Wei hopes is for the prosperity of the Wei family's descendants. Whether they are direct descendants or concubines, as long as they are good, she will value them.
Wei Jin'er responded: "That's right, but I don't know if Second Aunt can tolerate it."
Wei Laner knew about Wen Yuniang and her daughter earlier than everyone else in the Wei family. She said to them mysteriously: "Wen Yuniang was born in a merchant family and has rich family assets. Although she is a concubine, she has a lot of money on hand. I heard that my second uncle this time I was able to get promoted in the Ministry of Industry not only because of my uncle, but also because of Wen Yuniang's money."
Wei Jin'er looked surprised, "No wonder..."
Wei Laner chuckled, "Uncle is capable, but there are so many people outside watching, and we can't rely on him everywhere. This is considered a meritorious service for Wen Yanniang. The second uncle will definitely tell my grandmother about this and ask her to do it later." Take more care of Aunt Wen and her son, no matter how angry and depressed Second Aunt is, there is nothing she can do."
The mouth of the cannibal is short and the hands of the taker are short. Wei Shiyuan wants to protect Wen Yuniang even more.
Can the second lady still stop it?
As a wife, naturally you cannot delay your husband's future, otherwise your husband's family will not tolerate it.
This is really like eating Coptis chinensis for a dumb person, unable to express the pain.
Wei Jin'er sighed, "It's a pity that my second aunt was born in a prince's palace, but she has to bow her head to that Duwu."
Li Qingyi looked at the two of them.
Princess Yuanheng was doted on by the Queen Mother, and Wei Laner's maternal grandfather worked as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Both of them grew up in wealth, so how could they understand the embarrassment of the second wife and her daughter.
A penny stumps a heroic man.
The Nanning Marquis Mansion, the second wife's natal family, was declining day by day. There was no money to subsidize the married daughter. The second wife only had the dowry at hand.
The Wei family was also a well-behaved family. The Wei family could not do such a shameful thing as misappropriating their daughter-in-law's dowry to supplement the family income. However, Wen Yuniang took the initiative to provide money for Wei Shiyuan, which was another matter.
No one would find fault with the Wei family, but would only praise Wen Yuniang for being sensible.
What's more, Wen Yuniang also gave Wei Shiyuan a son.
Only these two points can allow Wen Yuniang to gain a firm foothold in the Wei family and gain a good reputation.
Wei Lan'er had a sudden thought, "Sister Li, eldest sister, tell me, the second uncle doesn't have any idea of righting Aunt Wen, right?"
Wei Jin'er shook her head, "How is that possible? It's really uneconomical to reconcile with the legitimate daughter of the Marquis and to support the merchant's daughter. Even if my second uncle wants to, my grandmother won't agree. Sister, what do you think?"
Li Qingyi, on the other hand, refused to comment on a person's merits in front of others. He only said, "What Jin'er said makes sense."
Wen Yuniang is already Wei Shiyuan's woman, and she is willing to provide money to help. For Wei Shiyuan, what is the need to help him or not?
But they can think clearly because they are outsiders.
As the second wife involved, I am afraid that she will be worried every day and sleepless at night, for fear that she will become an abandoned wife at some point.
Wei Jin'er had finished talking about the second wife and asked, "Is the Li family going to Beijing soon?"
Li Qingyi nodded: "Look at the date, the 80% achievement is coming in the next few days."
"The Li family's house has been uninhabited for many years. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to clean it up. If there is not enough manpower, sister, just tell my mother, but don't feel embarrassed."
Li Qingyi looked at her with a smile, "It's not that troublesome. Although I couldn't help it, there were more than a dozen maids staying behind to clean the house. My second uncle and second aunt came over and they just moved things there. That’s all.”
Wei Jin'er was startled, "According to my sister, is the Li family going to move back to the capital?"
