In the blink of an eye, September came, and after Jiang Xueyi's health recovered, the Fang family came to the Jiang family to pay a betrothal gift, and set the date of Jiang Xueyi's wedding on the tenth day of October.
The Fang family gave the Jiang family double the bride price as agreed before.
Looking at the golden betrothal gift in the box in front of her, Mrs. Jiang almost grinned from the corner of her mouth to the back of her ears.
After Jiang Xueyi's incident, Shen Manshu became dissatisfied with Mrs. Jiang. Looking at her coveting look, she felt resentment and disgust in her eyes.
Jiang Xu is such a sophisticated person, so naturally she can tell that Shen Manshu's attitude towards her has become worse than before.
She put away the joy on her face and said slowly: "Sister Yi, there are still many things to do before she gets married, and the affairs of the house cannot be left unattended."
When Jiang Xu said this, Shen Manshu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
As expected, I heard her continue: "In my opinion, the second daughter-in-law, you should give the house to the third daughter-in-law first and let her take care of it first."
In an instant, Shen Manshu's face became ugly, and she couldn't help frowning and staring at He Wanyun. He Wanyun smiled lightly at her, without any hint of timidity.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Manshu pretended to smile and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law can take care of it."
She never thought about her words, but she directly hit Jiang Xu's gun.
If she is willing to hand it over honestly, the Jiang Xu family will also ask He Wanyun to return the middle money to her after Jiang Xueyi gets married, because she has taken care of the Jiang family for so many years.
But the way she refused to give up power made it clear that she wanted to hold on to this piece of fat.
Jiang Xu was such a money-loving person, and she even more expected that Shen Manshu had made a lot of personal gains from the Jiang family's property over the years. She immediately said with disdain: "I don't even want to look at your sultry appearance now. Even myself How can I take care of the affairs of the house if I can’t even take care of them?!”
Shen Manshu was startled. She was busy taking care of Jiang Xueyi these days, and she really had no time to take care of other things. Not only did her face become much haggard, but even her daily makeup was not as elaborate as usual. She completely changed from a gentle and noble person. The mistress of the house turned into a vulgar woman.
"Second sister-in-law, mother is also thinking about you."
He Wanyun suppressed the smile on her lips and said with waning spirits.
Shen Manshu clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly. Mrs. Jiang forced her to do this, and she could only grit her teeth and spit out the piece of fat that had been in her mouth for many years.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't give less to my second brother and sister every month."
When leaving Jiang Xu's house, He Wanyun pretended to comfort her.
The corner of Shen Manshu's mouth twitched. She naturally knew that He Wanyun was gloating about his misfortune. Without the support of the Jiang family, it would not only be much more difficult to manage Jiang Wanan and Jiang Yanzhou's career in the future, but even the expenses for the second house would be stretched thin.
Back at Qiyun Courtyard, the frowning Shen Manshu threw the tea cup on the coffee table to the ground in anger.
Jiang Xu moved quickly and asked Shen Manshu to hand over the warehouse keys and accounts to He Wanyun the next day.
After hearing the news, Jiang Ning drank the tea in the cup with satisfaction.
The second room must have been devastated by the successive blows, but this was not enough.
Putting down the tea cup, Jiang Ning flipped through the book at hand and asked, "Have you found out about Shen Qingyao's whereabouts?"
Caihe added some tea while saying, "I heard about it. It's in the brothel at the south end of the city."
During the days of being grounded, Jiang Ning was not completely idle.
"Go and prepare some more silver, and follow me out after dark."
She asked quietly without raising her eyes.
"good."
After adding some tea, he left after picking the lotus.
After the sky darkened, Jiang Ning put on men's clothes and got on the carriage to the south of the city with Caihe.
To the south of Jingzhou City is Yanqi's famous caves. The darker the night, the more lively it becomes. Two red lanterns are hung in front of each brothel. The figures are graceful under the dark red light, making people more confused and confused. fan.
Jiang Ning's carriage drove into the deep alley and stopped at the end.
Mother Li who was welcoming the guest was immediately happy when she saw a fair-looking and noble young man. They usually come here with some rough men who do rough work. How had they ever seen such a distinguished guest? She hurriedly nodded and bowed to let him in. welcome.
Opposite on the Chunhua Tower, a man stood with his hands behind his hands. The dark blue brocade robe with gold embroidery and embroidery on his body gave off a frightening brilliance under the light.
"Sir, among the group of prostitutes that King Ning sent to take away, there is the one Miss Six is looking for."
Just at this moment, Zhai Mo walked in.
