Ruan Changhuan, who was originally uninterested, immediately raised his head and looked at her grandmother when she heard her say five thousand gold.
Then he looked at Ruan Tang.
Did she hear it correctly? Five thousand taels?
A few days ago, she asked her mother for a hundred taels to buy new clothes. She had been begging for a long time, but her mother finally gave her fifty taels.
This idiot could actually come up with five thousand taels?
Ruan Tang also expected it. From the moment she took out the money in front of her, from the moment she decided to go back to Jing'an Marquis Mansion with her, she knew that the origin of the money would definitely not escape Mrs. Ruan's questioning. of.
"I earned it from doing small business when I was in Suzhou." This was the truth, and Ruan Tang had no intention of hiding it.
"Doing a small business?" Ruan Changhuan spoke before Mrs. Ruan, "What kind of business can make so much money? Isn't my sister in the flesh business?"
The Marquis of Jing'an also has a shop and farm. Although she has not been exposed to these, her mother has always complained recently that the income from the shop and farm is low.
Several shops can only afford a hundred taels a day.
What kind of small business can she do to make so much money?
Ruan Changhuan thought so, looking at her with eyes full of contempt.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Ruan gave her a sideways look.
"Xiu'er, you are crazy. How could you say such nonsense?"
Although she was lecturing Ruan Changhuan, her eyes looking at Ruan Tang were full of inquiry and suspicion.
Ruan Changhuan's words were unpleasant, but they made sense.
She was a young woman, and she was beautiful. It would be good if she could not starve to death when she was out alone. How could she still earn so much money?
Suddenly, Mrs. Ruan looked at her with a murderous look in her eyes.
Almost instantly, Mrs. Ruan had an idea in her mind.
If she really made money from the flesh business, then the Jing'an Marquis Mansion would definitely not be able to keep her.
And only by killing him can the reputation of Jing'an Hou Mansion be preserved.
Ruan Tang was sitting at the bottom. Even though she was far away from Mrs. Ruan, she could still clearly feel the murderous look in her eyes.
How powerful is her grandmother? The original owner had learned this lesson in his previous life.
Ruan Tang looked at Ruan Changhuan calmly and said calmly: "My sister is really good at joking. This is blatantly smearing our family. If my sister is really involved in this flesh and blood business, how can she get into a place like Prince Ning's Mansion as an errand?"
When she said this, Mrs. Ruan thought of a secret order the Empress Dowager had secretly given to the palace.
In recent years, the Empress Dowager was extremely worried because of Prince Ning's lack of sexual desire for women.
Therefore, an order was issued a few years ago that all young girls who work as servants in Prince Ning's mansion must have their bodies checked, and only women with clean bodies can enter the mansion.
This is self-evident and everyone who understands understands it.
Mrs. Ruan's face improved slightly.
But she still questions the origin of the money.
And Ruan Tang knew that if she didn't explain it properly, they would not give up.
"I can make all this money because my mother taught me a lot of business tips when she was still alive. During those years in Suzhou, I used what my mother taught me to earn some money one after another. I couldn't bear to spend it. , has always been there, that’s why there are so many of them.”
Mrs. Ruan has no doubt that when her mother Gu Ruyu was still alive, she was indeed a good hand in managing the business.
Her maternal grandfather's family was a wealthy businessman, and her mother was born with these money-making talents.
In the few years after she first married into the Hou family, she was able to earn a lot of money even if the shop was handed over to her.
Only later, when she was sick, the shop was handed over to her cousin Fang Huairou, and it gradually declined, so that now, there is almost no income.
"In that case, in the future, when you have time, go to the store at home and give some advice to your mother." The mother Mrs. Ruan mentioned was Ruan Changhuan's mother, Fang Huairou.
Ruan Tang nodded and did not refuse.
Seeing that she agreed, Madam Ruan finally showed a faint smile on her face.
Then he changed the subject: "Since you are back now, your marriage should be put on the agenda. You are not young anymore."
When Ruan Tang heard this, he immediately panicked.
She didn't come back to get married.
"Grandma, Tang'er doesn't want to get married yet. I just came home. I want to spend more time with you, grandma."
"Silly boy, it's time for the male to get married and the female to get married. Your birthday has passed this year and you will be twenty. I think Qianyi is still very interested in you. Besides, you two were engaged before. Taking advantage of this opportunity When you come back, let’s settle this matter.”
Ruan Tang did not expect that he would still be unable to escape his engagement with Shen Qianyi.
But she couldn't just marry her stupidly again. This time, she had to find a way to let him cancel the engagement on his own.
However, she still responded with a smile on her face: "Tang'er listens to grandma, and everything is decided by grandma."
Ruan Changhuan here was no longer calm, looking at Ruan Tang he wanted to cut her.
She likes Shen Qianyi and has done so a long time ago.
And Shen Qianyi also accepted her love token.
Over the years, she thought that Ruan Tang was gone, and thought that when she was old enough, she could ask her grandmother and mother to change the marriage contract between Shen Qianyi and Ruan Tang to hers and Shen Qianyi.
Unexpectedly, after she passed the haircut ceremony, when she went to her grandmother to express her thoughts, she was scolded by her grandmother.
He even put her in solitary confinement for half a month.
She originally thought that as long as she looked down on other men and stayed older, her grandmother and the others would definitely agree if they were anxious.
But who would have imagined that her grandmother actually wanted her to marry Prince Ning.
In a few days, her grandmother will take her to attend the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother.
The last time Prince Ning's Mansion held a flower viewing party, she pretended to be sick and didn't go. Unexpectedly, she couldn't escape her grandmother's arrangement in the end.
Which noble family in the capital doesn't know that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is called a birthday banquet, but in fact it is for His Royal Highness Prince Ning to choose a princess.
She doesn't even bother to be this princess!
King Ning was extremely violent and ruthless, and it is said that he was extremely vicious.
She doesn't like him, she only likes Shen Qianyi, and only her brother Yi is the prettiest and gentlest.
Now that she heard that her grandmother was going to arrange the marriage between Ruan Tang and Shen Qianyi again, how could she sit still?
They all wanted to go forward and tear Ruan Tang into pieces.
Mrs. Ruan couldn't tell that Ruan Changhuan was unhappy, but she knew that only by giving up this thought of her could she marry Prince Ning obediently and be Princess Ning well.
The Jingan Marquis Mansion is different from the past. If no one in the family can climb up to the royal family, then it will not be long before it gradually declines.
She pretended not to see Ruan Changhuan's depression and said to Ruan Tang: "The Empress Dowager's birthday will be in a few days. I will take you and Xiu'er to attend. Qian Yi will also attend. You can meet him and cultivate your relationship. "
"Okay, grandma." Ruan Tang responded obediently.
"In that case, you take your sister out to go shopping, buy some clothes and jewelry, and prepare for the palace banquet. As for the money, grandma will not pay you. You can use what you have on hand first, and then come to grandma to withdraw it. "
"Yes, Grandma."
Ruan Tang still obeyed obediently, but he had already scolded her ten thousand times in his heart.
She really doubted that what Mrs. Ruan said today was all waiting for her, just to take the money out of her pocket. It was so despicable and shameless!
