The ancient mythical beast quickly wears a cruel and ruthless

Just when the Zhao family was at a loss for money.

On the outskirts of the capital, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding towards the capital.

In the carriage, Zhao Ruxue was wearing luxurious clothes and had an extremely proud expression on her face. "I'm finally back to the capital! I don't know what my mother was thinking. My grandmother is obviously in poor health, but she asked me to go to my grandma's house to show my filial piety to her! How can a small place like Jingzhou be as prosperous as the capital?"

"Miss, you are doing well in Jingzhou! Everyone praises you for being filial!"

The little maidservant beside him flattered him and said, "Besides, when we left the Ruan family, didn't your grandmother give you a lot of jewelry and a box of silver as a gift?"

"That's what I deserve!"

Zhao Ruxue said with a smug look on her face, "I got these things because I pretended to be nice to those two old guys every day. I feel sick just thinking about how I say things against my will in front of them every day. Even this is not enough for me!"

"Miss, what do you think is the madam's intention in asking you to come back as the housekeeper this time?" the little maid quickly changed the subject.

"What's your intention? You just don't want my father to take a concubine, so you're throwing a tantrum on purpose?"

Zhao Ruxue touched the South China Sea agate and red gold bracelet on her hand and rolled her eyes and said, "My mother has always been petty and has no broad mind at all."

She looked at the bracelet in her hand and said, "My father is going to be a high-ranking official in the future. What family doesn't have a boy to inherit the family line? But my family doesn't want to have a child, and they don't even allow my father to take a concubine! Don't you think about how I can survive in my husband's family when I get married in the future without a brother from my mother's family?"

Zhao Ruxue was full of complaints when she talked about it. "She sent me to my grandparents' house this time because she didn't want me to speak well of my father. Now she asked me to come back because she couldn't stop my father from taking a concubine, so she got angry and asked me to persuade my father!"

"Then Miss, what are you going to do?" asked the little maid.

"As for me, I just don't want to do what she wants! Doesn't she want my father to have a son? I want to help my father and have more brothers and sisters."

Zhao Ruxue said with a proud look in her eyes.

In the dream-fulfilling space of the system, Ruan Xinyao's illusory figure looked at her daughter with tears streaming down her face, "How shameful that I was so blind that I actually treated an ungrateful person like you as my treasure!"

Half a day later.

The gate of the courtyard where Su Li was was kicked open!

At this moment, Su Li was lying on a lounge chair among the flowers in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

The spring sunshine is just right, making people fall asleep.

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Li felt that this mission was too leisurely. It was purely a way for her to gain merit and power in vain.

"Mom! What are you making a fuss about? The family is in such a mess, and you are still angry about Dad taking a concubine. Don't you know that Grandma is still sick? Can't you just give in to her for once and let Dad give me some brothers and sisters? How can you be so selfish!"

Zhao Ruxue broke into Su Li's courtyard and pointed at Su Li's nose and cursed.

"Miss, what you said is wrong! Do you know how much injustice your mother has suffered this time?"

Xiao Cui quickly stopped in front of Zhao Ruxue and spoke.

"What's there to be wronged about! Isn't it just taking a concubine? What man in this world doesn't take concubines? Isn't it normal to have three or four wives? My father has no son to inherit the Zhao family, so I won't have a brother to rely on in the future! Do you know that?"

Su Li couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this, so she stood up and slapped her, "Go ask your father whether I allowed him to take a concubine or not, get out of here!"

"Hmph! You actually hit me! Don't regret it!" Zhao Ruxue covered the slightly hot half of her face and walked out of Su Li's courtyard.

In order to avenge the slap from Su Li and to upset her mother, Zhao Ruxue took out the dowry her grandmother gave her and found Zhao Wenchang, "Dad, it's Mom's fault this time. I have five thousand taels here. You should marry Auntie first. I've wanted a brother or sister for a long time!"

Looking at the silver in his hand, Zhao Wenchang, who had been frowning for many days, finally smiled and said, "My dear daughter, how much silver did your grandfather give you this time?"

"It's not much, just fifty thousand taels! Dad, don't worry, when you marry my aunt, I will definitely treat her well!" Zhao Ruxue said to Zhao Wenchang with an obedient face.

"My dear daughter, you will be the manager of the Zhao family. Don't let your father down!"

Zhao Wenchang patted her shoulder and encouraged her, "By the way, your grandmother is not in good health, remember to buy some good medicine to nurse her back to health. If she dies, Dad will have to mourn for three years, you know!"

"Dad, don't worry! I will prove to my mother that my ability as a housekeeper is better than hers!" Zhao Ruxue said with her back straightened.

A few days later, the concubine chosen by Old Madam Zhao was welcomed into the Zhao Mansion with great ceremony.

Zhao Wenchang was extremely happy and served as a bridegroom every night.

Several concubines also used all kinds of skills to serve him, allowing him to temporarily forget about the affairs of the court!

"Miss, I heard that the way those two concubines who came from skinny families served the master in the room was really, tsk tsk..."

Xiao Cui quietly passed on the information she had heard to Su Li, "I heard that she has more tricks than the girls in the brothel!"

"That skinny horse was originally trained by people in the brothel to serve dignitaries. It's normal for him to know some tricks." Su Li said casually.

"But, Miss! What makes me angry is that the eldest daughter is obviously your daughter, but she goes to those three concubines every day. If you don't know, you would think they are sisters!"

When Xiao Cui mentioned this, she became angry. "It's been a month, and when the eldest lady came back, she came to criticize you a few times, and then she hung out with those concubines all day long."

"Don't worry about them! I've asked you to take care of the things outside, right?" Su Li asked softly.

"It's done! I found someone to pretend to be a government official to confiscate the shop in the capital, and then sold it directly to a wealthy businessman from another province. I also gave some money to the person pretending to be a government official so that he could go out and hide! Later, the real government officials came to confiscate the shop, but they found that the person had been replaced, so the matter was dropped."

Xiao Cui said in a low voice, "However, I heard that the court has re-selected the imperial merchant. And I have also sent a message to the old master, asking him not to give money to the Zhao family anymore."

Because Ruan Xinyao had signed an agreement with the government, if she delayed military affairs, all her shops would be confiscated.

However, the loss of food and quilts was caused by bandits, which was beyond her expectations. In addition, someone pretended to be an official and took away the shop. Others only regarded her as a victim and did not pursue the matter too much.

"Well, you did a good job!" Su Li nodded with satisfaction. "This month, you have spent almost half of the money that Zhao Ruxue brought back, right?"

"This servant doesn't know. I heard that the master asked her to take 20,000 taels to manage the relationship. The old lady has to stay in bed, and the concubines also need to be well fed and well provided."

While the master and servant were talking, Zhao Ruxue kicked the door open again and barged in. "See! I, Zhao Ruxue, can still manage the Zhao family well without you! When the concubines have Dad's sons, there will be no place for you in this mansion."

Su Li held the book in his hand calmly and didn't even want to look at her.

"Hmph, as a daughter, I'd like to advise mother that you should know when and how to act. If I were you, I would go and surrender to father, otherwise you might not be able to keep your position as the mistress of the Zhao family!" Zhao Ruxue said proudly.
