Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

The next two days were like this.

It seemed that there were people selling cloth at high prices everywhere in the capital. In addition to some arranged people, there were some who actually sold the cloth they bought themselves. The real and fake cloth were mixed together, and not only did no one suspect anything, but the name of Lin's Cloth Shop was also thoroughly spread.

Now when talking about Lin’s Fabric Shop, everyone would give it a thumbs up and say that the products of Lin’s Fabric Shop are good and the prices are reasonable.

The prices outside have gone up like crazy, and cloth is hard to come by at the Lin Family Cloth Shop, but they still stick to the original price.

Invisibly, the Lin family's reputation in the capital also rose.

Some ladies who were unaware of the high-price resale also wanted to buy some cloth for their children and went directly to the Lin family.

The Lin family was a small family, and normally there weren't that many wives of officials visiting. Su and Shen were flattered and gave them a warm reception.

The two men were embarrassed by the ladies' requests. It was not that they did not want to give them the cloth, but that they did not have any. However, they could not let them go in vain and give away the cloth they had left behind.

The ladies were naturally delighted and expressed their gratitude profusely.

The ladies wanted to give them money, and Su and Shen did not refuse and accepted it directly.

This made the ladies of the wealthy families look up to the Lin family.

If the Lin family didn't accept the money, it would be difficult to deal with. But now that the Lin family accepted the money generously, it shows that the Lin family does not use small favors to win favors.

In this way, he earned money, gained favors, and brought fame to the Lin family, achieving multiple goals at one stroke.

By the fourth day of the New Year, the silk was almost sold out, both openly and secretly.

Lin Ge specially asked Jiang Qingyue to meet him at the teahouse.

As soon as they met, he told her everything that had happened in the past few days. He was very excited and praised Jiang Qingyue again and again.

“You young people are really smart. I never thought that doing business could be this way.

“The price of this batch of silk has doubled, and those who are willing to buy it are all wealthy people.

"Also, I have found someone to do it. Even if they are discovered, it will have nothing to do with the Lin family...

“When people talk about cloth now, they always mention Lin’s Cloth Shop. Even if we don’t sell this kind of silk in the future, the business of Lin’s Cloth Shop is much better than before.

"Also, Yue'er, you don't know that because of this, the previously hard-to-sell inventory has been sold out, almost completely..."

After Lin Ge finished speaking, he praised Jiang Qingyue again.

Jiang Qingyue was happy to see Lin Ge happy, and she was also happy.

"My uncle has a good eye and is optimistic about this business."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get this business, let alone the current situation."

After Lin Ge finished speaking, he brought out a box from behind him.

"We were partners in the business at that time. This is the account book. Take a look at it and make sure it is correct. Your share of the silver will be sent to the Marquis' Mansion by your uncle."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "Please ask my uncle to keep this money for me first, and don't send it to the Marquis' Mansion. The last time I went to the Lin family, I was so busy discussing business that I forgot to tell my uncle something."

"what?"

"I want a divorce."

"what……"

Lin Ge almost dropped his jaw in shock. He was about to ask why, but then he remembered the rumors in the capital these days and stopped talking.

"Did your grandmother know?"

"Before I went to the Lin family last time, I asked someone to give all the dowry to my grandmother. After I went to the Lin family last time, I told my grandmother about it, and I also mentioned it to my second uncle.

“I told my uncle this not because I wanted him to help me, but because I hoped that the Lin family would not be used by the Marquis’ Mansion in my name.

"There is absolutely no possibility for me and the Xue family's eldest son, but now, the Xue family will not agree to a divorce, so I am waiting for an opportunity."

After listening to her, Lin Ge looked worried.

“No matter what, uncle still wants to say this: if there is anything I can help you with, please let me know.

"You put the dowry in the Lin family, which means you trust the Lin family, and the Lin family will not let you down.

“Although we have our own families now and have many things to consider, we will not sit idly by if something happens to our family members.

"If something like this happens to Yun'er, I will definitely support her, and you too. Maybe you understand what your uncle means?"

Jiang Qingyue knew the weight of these words, and a warm current surged in her heart, "I understand, thank you uncle."

Lin Ge nodded: "Your second aunt knew that I was coming to see you, and she insisted that I say thank you to you. She asked me to bring some gifts, and said that next time you go to the Lin Mansion, she will thank you in person. Thanks to you, you saved your second uncle's life."

"Second aunt, you are too kind. Second uncle is very lucky. It was just a coincidence for me. I didn't expect it to be right."

"In any case, it's all thanks to you. When you go to the Lin residence, tell your second aunt about this. She wants to worship you now."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help laughing.

Lin Ge continued, "The Lord Hu from the Dali Temple you mentioned last time was really arrested the day before yesterday. All the properties under his name were seized, and all the businessmen who cooperated with him were also implicated. They couldn't get out any of the money they invested, and they had to go through the lawsuit.

"Fortunately you reminded me, otherwise, the Lin family would be in great trouble now."

The Hu family's crime has not been judged yet, and the situation is serious. He dare not even think about it. If the Hu family is really guilty, then even if the Lin family loses all their wealth, it will be a small matter.

"It's really not an exaggeration. You saved my life too."

Speaking of this, Lin Ge still felt a lingering fear and was truly grateful to Jiang Qingyue.

"Uncle, you are right. It is really a coincidence. This shows that the Lin family is lucky."

Lin Ge was amused by her words, and the two talked for another quarter of an hour before Lin Ge left.

On the way back home, Jiang Qingyue passed by Linlang Pavilion.

Last time, she and Sun Xiaoxiao had an argument here, and then Dong Lingyan bought this place and gave it to her.

Now, she is the boss here.

Jiang Qingyue stopped the carriage, looked outside, and saw that no one got off the carriage, so she returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as I returned to Wutong Courtyard, I saw Bai Wei standing at the door waiting.

Bai Wei saw Jiang Qingyue and knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam."

Jiang Qingyue glanced at her and said, "Come in and talk."

"Yes."

Only after Jiang Qingyue entered the room did Bai Wei dare to move and follow her in.

When he got into the room, he saw Jiang Qingyue sitting down, and knelt down in front of her again:

"Madam, I have something to report."

"Well, tell me."

"Madam, the prince has taken me in as his concubine and she lives in Hehuan Courtyard."

"Hehuanyuan?"

Bai Wei's heart was lifted when she heard Jiang Qingyue specifically mention the yard.

"Yes, ma'am, Hehuan Courtyard is some distance away from the prince's study."

She explained it specifically, and Jiang Qingyue listened, looked at her and nodded.

Just pretend you don’t know:

The Hehuan Courtyard is not big, but it has everything. It is indeed some distance away from Xue Feimu's study. However, this courtyard is on the way Xue Feimu returns to his study after paying his respects to the old lady.

Xue Feimu would pay his respects to the old lady every day, and would pass by her courtyard every day.

Bai Wei put some thought into choosing this courtyard.

Although it seems far from the study, it is actually a place where it is easy to run into Xue Feimu. It is also a place that Xue Feimu easily thinks of and will go to.

And the name of this courtyard: Hehuan Courtyard, it can be seen that, just like in her previous life, Bai Wei is liked by Xue Feimu.

Bai Wei panicked when she saw Jiang Qingyue didn't say anything.

She lowered her head, with a humble and respectful attitude, not daring to do anything beyond the rules, trying her best to let the lady see her attitude.

Perhaps her humble attitude pleased the lady, and the lady's voice sounded very peaceful:

"When did this happen?"

"It was...it happened on the day of the welcoming banquet."

Jiang Qingyue saw her talking in a lowered voice and took a sip of tea.

It has been several days since the welcoming banquet.

It was only after a few days that they said that the matter had been confirmed.

Bai Wei is a smart person. She kept her composure by not making the matter known to everyone right from the start.

Hearing the silence in the room, Bai Wei hurriedly explained:

"Madam, it's not that I hid it and didn't tell you right away. It's that although I was somewhat close to the prince at the beginning, he was angry and had no intention of accepting me.

"I am afraid of ruining things, so I thought of waiting until the matter is confirmed before bringing it up. If I have done anything wrong, please punish me, Madam."

"You don't need to be punished. You did a good job. It's not a bad thing to be more careful and cautious."

Bai Wei replied with a timid voice: "Yes."

When answering, he still knelt properly, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, for fear of displeasing Jiang Qingyue.

"Get up, you are an aunt now, there is no need to be so reserved."

Bai Wei stood up and replied, "No matter what, I will always remember in my heart that I am Madam's servant."

"It's great that you're thoughtful. It's worth my help. I hope you'll remember what I said today."

Bai Wei naturally didn't think so, but she had to say what she had to say. Bai Wei said these words, and if she did those things one day, the psychological burden would be heavier.

"Since the prince has appointed you as his concubine, you should live your life in peace. The most important thing is to take good care of the prince. As for the rest, you should know what to do."

After hearing the last sentence, Bai Wei lowered her head with a struggling look on her face.

"Yes, I understand. Aunt Chu has made a big mistake this time. I will definitely not be like her, let alone go along with her. I will also pay close attention to her."

She knew what the lady meant, and she couldn't pretend to be stupid. Because she didn't have the ability to compete with the lady at the moment, she could only be obedient.

Not long after Bai Wei left, news came from Shumingyuan:

"Madam, the prince said he would come over tonight. His leg is almost healed now, so we can arrange for the marriage consummation."

"Consummation of marriage?"

Jiang Qingyue frowned, feeling nauseous.

"I said I was not feeling well."

"Yes."

Not long after, Jiang Qingyue had just sat down to eat when she saw Xue Feimu coming over.

Although he looked much better, he was still in a wheelchair.

There was an unconcealable disgust in Jiang Qingyue's eyes, but luckily they were far away and Xue Feimu couldn't see it.

"Is there something wrong, Prince?"

Xue Feimu: "I heard Qingyue you were not feeling well, I came to see you."

"Please go back, my lord. I'm fine."

"Since it's good, then consummating the marriage..."

“Then I still feel a little uncomfortable.”

When Xue Feimu heard her say this, he asked suspiciously:

"But you don't want to consummate the marriage?"

"Yes."

If you don't make this matter clear, you can't escape.

In this case, I might as well speak frankly and directly eliminate the possibility of bringing up this matter again in the future.

Xue Feimu thought for a moment and asked, "But what is Qingyue hiding?"

"No."

"Then why?"

Jiang Qingyue raised her head to meet his gaze, "I just don't want to."

Xue Feimu looked at her, his expression changing. He really couldn't understand why Jiang Qingyue was unwilling.

Could it be that he was playing hard to get with him?

Is it because she is jealous of his favor towards Chu Wan'er?

Or was it because he took away her household expenses?

Or is it because he accepted Bai Wei?

He admitted that he accepted Bai Wei not only because Bai Wei was a good person, but also because he wanted to piss off Jiang Qingyue.

I didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to be so magnanimous.

That's right, she always feels jealous when her husband takes another woman.

Xue Feimu sighed lightly and pushed his wheelchair forward.

"I know you are angry, but Bai Wei is your maid, and I took her in for your sake. Otherwise, with so many maids, I wouldn't have any I wanted.

"As for Wan'er, it goes without saying that I brought her back from the border. She is alone and helpless in the capital and can only rely on me. Naturally, I have to give her more care. You are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should be more tolerant and don't have to bother with a few concubines.

"As for the household expenses, I will return them to you when you are pregnant and behave well."

"No more words."

Jiang Qingyue interrupted him and tried to calm her breathing.

"It has nothing to do with others, I just don't want to."

Xue Feimu frowned:

"It's normal for a woman in the harem to feel a little jealous, and I won't blame you. But you have to understand that there will be many concubines in the mansion in the future. If you keep making trouble with me like this, it will not do you any good."

Xue Feimu tried his best to persuade Jiang Qingyue, and he thought he was doing it for her own good.

"Persimmon, you're overthinking it. I'm not jealous of anyone. I just don't want to consummate my marriage with you."

Jiang Qingyue felt that if she didn't explain clearly, Xue Feimu wouldn't understand.

But unexpectedly, even though she explained it so clearly, Xue Feimu still couldn't understand.

Xue Feimu was very unhappy when he heard this.

Did Jiang Qingyue really rely on her status as the mistress to do whatever she wanted? She forgot about the position of mistress. He could give it and take it back. She was too ignorant to dare to say such words.

He had already given her the position of mistress, but she still wanted all of him. How was that possible?

"There should be a limit to playing hard to get, don't go too far.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if I took what you said seriously?"

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath:

"You'd better take it seriously. I ask you to take it seriously."

Xue Feimu was really unhappy: "If you keep talking like this, I will be angry. You know I am angry, and the consequences will be serious."

"You'd better be angry. I ask you to be angry."

Xue Feimu held his breath and pointed at Jiang Qingyue:

"Are you serious?"

"I don't tell lies."

"Don't say angry words out of anger."

"I didn't say that in anger."

Xue Feimu saw the nonchalant expression on her face, and a surge of anger surged in his heart:

"Jiang Qingyue, don't regret it."

"Won't regret it."

Seeing that Jiang Qingyue didn't care at all about the harsh words she said to him, Xue Feimu's anger grew stronger.

"Do you believe that I want to divorce you?"
