The drizzle of rain hit the roof of the car, making a "crackling" sound.
Xie Wanyu sat in the car and read a random book of Xishi Beach. Although it was not a very famous book, and even the place Xishi Beach was fictional, Xie Wanyu liked reading it very much.
Especially when it comes to the customs and customs there, men and women can look at each other on their own, and if they like each other, they can hang out together. Unlike today, where marriage matters are ordered by parents and matchmakers, and they have no choice at all.
While he was watching intently, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but swayed, and Xiao Zhi helped Xie Wanyu with quick eyesight and quick hands. "Is mother okay?" he asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Xie Wanyu smiled, her face full of relief.
Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the car curtain, "How did you set up the car? Is the leather tight?"
He really does have some domineering qualities like a young master from a rich family.
The coachman hurriedly apologized, "Madam, please forgive me. Third Young Master, spare your life. Mainly, mainly because..." Before he could finish his words, the carriage sank. Then the curtain was opened, and Shen Jinyu sat down next to Xiao Zhi. .
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look at him warily.
Xie Wanyu was a little surprised, "Why is Master Shen here?"
"It's spring, and I suddenly wanted to eat some wild vegetables. None of the people in the house knew wild vegetables, so I came here by myself." As he said that, he placed his backpack in front of Xie Wanyu.
There was a woodchopping knife in the basket on his back, and then there was half a basket of wild vegetables.
"So many?" Xie Wanyu asked in surprise.
Shen Jinyu nodded, "I was tired from walking when I saw your carriage and stopped it."
No wonder the coachman stopped suddenly and it turned out that he was the culprit.
"Master Shen, you are a little too reckless. The driver suddenly stopped just now, and my mother almost fell." Xiao Zhi frowned and said displeased.
Although Shen Jinyu is the current Prime Minister, Xiao Zhi is not afraid of him at all.
After hearing this, Shen Jinyu looked guilty, "I was really reckless. Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Xie Wanyu said.
"To make amends, how about I cook wild vegetables for you when we get to Panyun Mountain?" He looked at Xiao Zhi, "Just in time, I will test your knowledge again."
After Xiao Zhi heard this, he looked confident and said, "That's fine."
The carriage started slowly and then stopped at the gate of Panyun Mountain.
Xiao Zhi got out of the car first and waited beside the car to help Xie Wanyu, as if he was afraid that Shen Jinyu would beat him first.
Shen Jinyu was so smart, how could he not understand the thoughts of a child, so he could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
"Madam, be careful." Zhu Fang held up the oil-paper umbrella and covered Xie Wanyu's head, "Be careful of the rain."
"It's okay." Xie Wanyu said with a smile, and then slowly entered the gate of Panyun Mountain.
Dawu was standing at the door. After seeing Xie Wanyu, he saluted hurriedly, "Dawu has met Madam. Wish you all the best."
Xie Wanyu glanced at the few people following him. They were all young and strong young men. Needless to say, they must be the guards recruited by Dawu.
"Where are the people?" Xie Wanyu asked.
"It's in the main room." Dawu whispered.
Xie Wanyu was walking towards the main room when she saw Jin Zetian walking out dressed in silk and asked, "Why haven't the food and drinks come yet? Are you guys tight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xie Wanyu standing in the yard. His breath suddenly stagnated and he hurriedly held the door frame next to him, "Cousin? Why didn't you say anything when you came?"
He smiled coquettishly.
"What, now my cousin has the final say about Panyun Mountain?" There was no smile on Xie Wanyu's face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with ice.
Jin Zetian shrank involuntarily, then rubbed his nose and said, "No..."
"Ms. sir, why aren't you here yet?" Then Ruyue also walked out. She was wearing a fairy dress with wide sleeves, half of her shoulders exposed, and there were two gilt phoenix tail hairpins on her temples, emerald earrings, and her neck. The pearl necklace on it is even more eye-catching.
Although the outfit is glamorous, it really doesn’t match.
It seems that he regards himself as a jewelry shelf and only wears the most valuable ones on himself.
After Ru Yue saw Xie Wanyu, she was startled for a moment, then looked indifferent and said, "Hey, my cousin is here, come and have some tea."
She greeted, and a maid came in with tea very obediently.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but be surprised. Here, she seemed to be a guest.
"Why don't you two play the piano or wash the dishes?" Xie Wanyu asked with raised eyebrows.
"Cousin, we are all our own people, how can we let our own people do such rough work? Your sister-in-law and I know that you are busy, so we manage Panyun Mountain for you. Look, it's a pretty good job. Huh?" Jin Zetian said shamelessly.
Xie Wanyu scoffed with a cold face.
Ruyue didn't take it seriously, "How can such a big family fortune rely on a woman like you? A man must inherit it. This is your cousin. If you don't rely on him, who else can you rely on?"
"That's right, now that you have lost your husband's family and have not given birth to a son or a half, someone must inherit your property." Kanazawa has gained a lot of weight, and he can't help but pick his teeth as he talks. It seems that his wealthy life has already Make him forget who he really is.
Xie Wanyu was too lazy to argue with them, "Da Wu, you tell me."
"Yes, madam, just after the funeral of the Marquis, Jin Zetian has already started collecting money, and he claims to be keeping it for you. Everyone knows that he is your cousin, so they don't dare to say too much. The servants also listened. As per your instructions, I stayed still and only recorded the expenses of the two of them."
As he spoke, he took out a ledger.
Kanazawa Tian and Ruyue panicked, "We are the closest people to you. What are you doing? We can no longer be relatives!" they said excitedly.
Xie Wanyu took a look and found that they spent nearly a thousand taels a month just on food and drink, not to mention clothing. Moreover, they invited troupes four times this month, so the two of them enjoyed themselves and lived better than the emperor. Chic.
"Your life is quite leisurely." Xie Wanyu closed the account book.
"Dawu!"
Dawu immediately led his men forward and held the two men at Xie Wanyu's feet.
"You're crazy, I'm your cousin!" Jin Zetian said.
Ruyue also said, "You are a widow now. If you don't rely on your mother's family, who do you rely on? Your brother has everything. What's wrong with sharing your things with your cousin? You have to count on him in the future."
The two of them started doing whatever they wanted after learning about Xiao Jing's death.
With Xie Wanyu's status, it was impossible to remarry, and she didn't have a son or a half, so the two of them became arrogant, at least feeling that Xie Wanyu would rely on them in the future.
Xie Wanyu laughed angrily at the thought of the two of them, and said helplessly, "You are so thoughtful. How are you going to repay these tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
"What, tens of thousands of cars? We didn't spend these." Jin Zetian said excitedly.
"I don't care if you spend it or not, Dawu, send it to the Yamen and let the Yamen decide." Xie Wanyu said.
