Facing Zhou Musheng's question, Jiang Wanqing tried hard to suppress her smile.

With a loving expression, he looked at Zhou Musheng and said, "I told you before, you are my child, the only young master of the Xingchang Marquisate. I naturally can't bear to see you suffer. Even if you don't achieve anything in your life, you are still the son of the Xingchang Marquisate. You will never have to worry about food and clothing. As long as you live happily, that's all."

Zhou Musheng couldn't hide the joy on his face.

The nanny also said that only if he studied hard and achieved good results, Jiang Wanqing would treat him as his own son.

But now, even though I have done nothing, Jiang Wanqing has already treated me as his own son.

Then why does he study so hard?

Thinking of this, Zhou Musheng looked at Jiang Wanqing with a friendlier look.

"Mother, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

Jiang Wanqing nodded: "Okay, I know our Mu Sheng is a filial son, but mother only hopes that you can grow up happily."

She wanted to see what kind of future Zhou Musheng would have if he grew up in a honey pot all his life.

It’s just... I wonder if Zhou Musheng, who won the top spot in the imperial examination three times in a row in his previous life, will hate myself for not disciplining him strictly in this life.

After Jiang Wanqing gave Zhou Musheng a hint, she left the yard.

And just as Jiang Wanqing thought.

After she left, Zhou Musheng put down the brush in his hand and started fighting crickets on the table.

I have no ambition at all.

When Jiang Wanqing returned to the yard, she was greeted by an uninvited guest.

Nanny Su walked to Jiang Wanqing's side with a gloomy face. She lowered her voice and explained, "Madam, someone from the house in the south of the city has arrived."

A house in the south of the city?

Isn’t that where Zhou Zigu and Song Nansheng live?

How come they came out of nowhere?

Jiang Wanqing raised her head and looked at the woman dressed as a maid in the yard.

He asked, "People from the South City House never come to visit me on their own initiative. Why did the cousin from the South City House send someone to visit me out of the blue?"

The maid bowed slightly and saluted towards Jiang Wanqing.

"Madam, it is true that the house in the south of the city has not received the living expenses from the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion for two months, so I specially sent this servant to ask about it."

It turned out that he came to ask for money.

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In the past, Old Madam Zhou always said that the family owed this cousin, so they should treat her better.

Therefore, I would send this cousin one hundred taels of money for expenses every month.

You know, the average family's annual expenses are only a few taels of money.

One hundred yuan a month is more than enough for this cousin.

What's more, didn't Zhou Zigu already give all the profitable shops in the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion to Song Nansheng?

Why is it that someone is asking me for this one hundred taels of money now?

Or perhaps the money from those shops was used to make fake copper coins.

Jiang Wanqing is really hard to figure out.

However, she would never give this money again.

At that moment, Jiang Wanqing almost said, "If you are here to ask for money, you have found the wrong person. The housekeeper power of the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion has been given to the second young lady in the mansion. You should ask her for it."

The maidservant below was slightly surprised when she heard this.

Nanny Su at the side also spoke up: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the maids in this mansion at will. The housekeeper power is in the hands of the second young lady now. If you ask our wife, it is impossible for our wife to use her own dowry to help the cousin spend money."

The maid nodded repeatedly, found an excuse, and left.

Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in her arms and sat on the seat.

He chuckled, "Now that the stewardship power is no longer in my hands, I feel a little relieved."

Madam Su shook her head helplessly: "I really don't understand the intention of this cousin. Doesn't she manage so many shops? She still came to Madam to ask for the 100 taels of silver. Is she deliberately trying to disgust Madam?"

Mo Yu stood aside, silent, his attention completely attracted by Xiao Xiao who was blowing bubbles from her mouth.

Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao's hand, lowered her head and gently coaxed Xiaoxiao.

He smiled and said, "We can't care about so much. We just need to live a good life in our little yard."

As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy sound was heard again.

Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but frown.

Nanny Su, who looked over in the direction of the voice, shook her head.

In a rather helpless tone, "Madam, it seems that even if we want to live a good life in our small courtyard, others will not give us this opportunity."

As the words fell, Zhou Ziran and his group rushed into the house.

Zhou Ziran came to Jiang Wanqing with a menacing look.

The first thing he asked was, "The cousin from the house in the south of the city has done a favor to my family, but you don't even give her money?"

Zhou Ziran's opening was a question.

Jiang Wanqing still sat in her seat.

She looked up at Zhou Ziran and said with a smile, "Second sister is really well-educated now. She doesn't even call me sister-in-law anymore. I think mother doesn't have to stay in the temple all day. She should come out and teach you some manners."

Zhou Ziran’s neck stiffened.

He snorted coldly, "If you were a good sister-in-law, I would naturally respectfully call you sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that you would be such a selfish person! My cousin has done us a favor, but you are unwilling to give her money. If this matter gets out, people might say that we, the Xingchang Marquisate, are ungrateful! What are you up to?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wanqing was speechless.

Some were so angry that they laughed.

She even had tears in her eyes from laughing.

Looking at Zhou Ziran, "My cousin has done a favor to the Xingchang Marquisate, but not to me."

Zhou Ziran frowned: "Now that you are married into my family, you are naturally one with the Xingchang Marquisate."

Jiang Wanqing then said, "But, isn't the power of the housekeeper in the mansion now handed over to you, my second sister? You can pay the living expenses for my cousin from the account office."

Although the Marquis of Xingchang’s Mansion doesn’t have much money anymore.

However, Jiang Wanqing remembered that the accounting office should still be able to come up with the one hundred taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Zhou Ziran said confidently: "The account office has no money, so you have to pay for this money. The money in the mansion was enough for you before, so I won't bother with you about the housekeeper power, and I'll just give it back to you."

Jiang Wanqing was silent for a long time after hearing this.

She didn't expect that this man could be so shameless.

Then he asked again: "If I remember correctly, it's still the beginning of the month. How is it possible that the account office can't even take out a hundred taels of silver?"
