Xie Wanyu almost laughed out of anger. Madam Xiao was really good at planning.
I want to squeeze out the last bit of her use value.
Only after the children are brought up can she remarry. By then she will be old and gloomy, who would still want to marry?
Although Xie Wanyu has no plans to remarry, hearing her say this makes her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mother Feng, help grandma up quickly." Xie Wanyu said, "Grandma, the eldest sister and Mr. Jieshu will get married sooner or later. You can rest assured that they will support you in the future Hou Mansion."
"I will never agree to that freeloader even if I die." After Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, she nodded towards Grandma Feng.
Nanny Feng immediately handed over the key to the card and the private seal of the Hou Mansion to Xie Wanyu, "If you don't agree, grandma would rather die on her knees here."
Mrs. Xiao has gritted her teeth and made her decision. If Xie Wanyu disagrees, she will go to the Jin family. At worst, she will kneel at the door of Xie's house. Even if the trouble becomes known to everyone, she will let Xie Wanyu take charge of the house.
After all, she has never denied Xie Wanyu's talent.
Now that the Hou Mansion is in pieces, Xie Wanyu's existence is a living sign. From now on, she not only wants Xie Wanyu to maintain the family well, but she will also never let Xie Wanyu remarry.
The current reluctance is nothing more than to comfort Xie Wanyu.
"Okay, I'll just accept it." Xie Wanyu saw determination in Mrs. Xiao's eyes. In desperation, she could only nod in agreement.
She knew that Mrs. Xiao was a person who could put everything on the line.
After hearing what Xie Wanyu said, Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Return to Qiran Courtyard.
Xie Wanyu is naturally involved in a lawsuit on her forehead.
Zhufang was also silent, holding a tray in her hand with keys and seals on it. It was obviously very light, but to her, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Finally, Nanny He spoke up, "Madam, do you really want to take care of me?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Xie Wanyu said, "Her attitude is as if she wants to risk her life with me." She knew what Mrs. Xiao was like, and she was definitely willing to take risks.
"Madam, this mess is now in your hands again. We have finally had a comfortable life for a few days." Zhu Fang frowned and said.
Xie Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "In that case, let's make them happy for a few days first."
The next day was the day of Xiao Jing's funeral.
Xie Wanyu watched the coffin being carried out, with mixed feelings in her heart. At first, she was considered to be destined for life at first glance. When she first met Xiao Jing, he was a handsome young man with a gentle smile and a relaxed attitude.
A young girl who had just begun to fall in love was obsessed with him.
After getting married, his disgust was palpable. As Xie Wanyu was reborn, the fig leaves on his body were lifted off, revealing his true face, and all the feelings Xie Wanyu had for him disappeared.
The experiences in her previous life made it difficult for her to sleep peacefully.
Now that he left so easily, Xie Wanyu couldn't help but feel resentful that she didn't even have time to take revenge.
Under Xie Wanyu's care, Xiao Jing's funeral was carried out in a dignified manner. Although the emperor did not appear, he brought an imperial edict and rewarded the Xiao family with a lot of gold and silver.
Because Xie Wanyu was in charge of the housekeeping, she naturally took care of everything.
It's just that the emperor has not ordered the attack on the prince for a long time.
The emperor is only thirteen or fourteen years old now and has not yet taken power. Most of the decisions are made by Queen Mother Guo, but most of the civil and military officials are looking at Tai Shuzhen's eyes.
Therefore, it is better to say that the emperor did not issue the decree, rather than that Tai Shuqi did not relent.
This is something almost everyone knows.
Tai'an Hall.
"You have some friendship with King Qin, why don't you go and ask." Mrs. Xiao asked tentatively.
"What am I asking? When will he bring up the matter of Xijue? Then if he asks me who we plan to use in our family, what should I say?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Mrs. Xiao glanced around.
Xiao Jinmin's tense body and Xiao Yinshuang's hesitation in speaking gave her a headache. "I'm old and can't control it. You can just make decisions about these things."
"In that case, let's delay." After Xie Wanyu finished speaking, she walked out without looking at anyone else.
Mrs. Xiao was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do.
She wanted to be a good person and let Xie Wanyu be the evil person, but Xie Wanyu was smart and didn't fall into the trap at all.
This made Mrs. Xiao very helpless.
After Xie Wanyu finished dealing with Mrs. Xiao, she returned to Qiran Court and met some of her more important shopkeepers. They talked about shipping.
There were at least three close confidants in her yard, so Xie Wanyu deliberately talked loudly and made others listen.
"...Zhang Yuanwai made thirty thousand taels," the shopkeeper said.
"I also know about this matter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to mention the shipping matter. In this way, spring is about to begin, so this matter should be done sooner rather than later. You should sell off my property here now, as well as the items in my warehouse. The money earned from dowries, jewelry and shipping has doubled, and if you only rush once, your children and grandchildren will enjoy the blessings." Xie Wanyu said.
The two shopkeepers immediately said that Xie Wanyu was a smart person.
In the past few days, Xie Wanyu did not go to Mrs. Xiao's house, but she was very happy. The whole house now knew that she wanted to invest money in shipping.
In terms of business, Xie Wanyu is a rare talent. After all, her Panyun Mountain is a simple example.
So everyone in the family has no doubts about this matter.
Only Madam Xiao, despite her age, still had doubts. Within a few days, she asked Xie Wanyu to see her.
Mrs. Xiao's health was not good, and Xiao Jing's death was a great blow to her, so even in spring, she was always lingering on the bed and could rarely get out of bed and move around.
Xie Wanyu knew why Mrs. Xiao was looking for her.
So I didn't have any intention of refusing and went directly to Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao's first words when she saw Xie Wanyu were, "I know you want to invest money in shipping, but you can't invest all of it, the whole family still has to live."
"Don't worry, grandma, what I put in is my dowry, and I haven't touched a penny from the Marquis's house." Xie Wanyu said.
This gave Mrs. Xiao no reason to take care of her. After all, she did not touch the money of the Hou Mansion, and her husband's family had no right to take care of her own dowry money.
"It's just that your money will be given to the children in the future, in case you lose money." Mrs. Xiao said tentatively.
Xie Wanyu waved her hand, "Many people make their fortune by shipping. This time, I invested all my belongings. By then, I can earn three times the money back. Think about it, grandma, in the future our Marquis Mansion will make a fortune every day." Sitting at home, it’s enough to feed several generations.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's expression softened a lot, "Even so, I still feel that it is not appropriate, and it feels a bit desperate."
"Don't worry, grandma, I know more about business than you." Xie Wanyu said with a smile.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu was so confident, Mrs. Xiao said nothing more.
But she didn't notice the fleeting coldness in the corners of Xie Wanyu's eyes and eyebrows.
