When Mrs. Zhou heard these words, her eyes widened.

Subconsciously, he slapped the table and stood up.

He looked at Jiang Wanqing angrily.

He asked in disbelief: "Jiang! What did you just say?"

At this moment, Jiang Wanqing no longer pretended at all.

Now that my family has been plotted against, if I continue to keep silent, I will just be letting others take advantage of me.

Pooh!

Who the hell is Zhou Ziqi!

How dare you use that kind of filthy stuff to insult your second brother!

Facing the anger of Old Madam Zhou.

Jiang Wanqing's expression remained unchanged.

She looked at Old Madam Zhou calmly and said word by word, "Is it because mother-in-law is old and her hearing is not working well? My second sister has lost her innocence in front of so many people. It's good enough that the family didn't give her a white silk. Mother-in-law actually wanted to marry such a person to my second brother!"

[That’s right! My second uncle is a young general who stands tall and proud! ]

[His future wife, if not a female general, should be a lady from a noble family.]

Xiaoxiao in his arms also echoed Jiang Wanqing's voice.

Old Madam Zhou stared at Jiang Wanqing with her sharp eyes.

Therefore, he sneered: "How could I not know that you were so obedient in the past, but you didn't have such a sharp-tongued side as you do now."

Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? If mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter, then I will naturally treat her like my own mother. But even an obedient rabbit has its reverse scales."

But her Achilles' heel is the family of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Madam Zhou pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed: "From what you said, could it be that I have treated you badly?"

Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in one hand.

Covering her lips with one hand, she smiled and said, "Mother naturally treats me well. Mother knew that Zhou Lang died young, so she chose a good son for me. Mother gave me the power of housekeeper in the first year after I married into the Marquis's Mansion. Mother treats me very well."

Jiang Wanqing clearly said this with a smile.

But for some reason, Old Madam Zhou always felt that there was something wrong with the tone of these words.

It seems like he is mocking himself.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Wanqing.

I thought, "Could it be that Jiang Wanqing discovered what Zi Gu did?"

But just now I saw how Jiang Wanqing and Song Nansheng were getting along.

It should not have been discovered.

Otherwise, if Jiang Wanqing knew the truth about those things, how could she talk to Song Nansheng with a calm mind?

Thinking of this, Madam Zhou asked again, "If you don't want your second sister to marry your second brother, then you have to negotiate the marriage at the Duke of Qi's Mansion!"

Old Madam Zhou's brows were filled with displeasure, she had already retreated.

If Jiang Wanqing still doesn't know what's good for her, then don't blame her!

Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered.

Then he nodded: "Okay. I will go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion to talk."

Let her come to propose marriage. Haha, I hope Madam Zhou won’t regret it.

Hearing Jiang Wanqing agree, Madam Zhou raised her brows.

She actually agreed?

Seeing Jiang Wanqing's attitude before, she thought Jiang Wanqing would not agree.

Jiang Wanqing continued, "After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xingchang Marquisate. I share the same fate with the Xingchang Marquisate. Mother, I was just too angry about what my second sister did. Please don't blame me."

Madam Zhou's frown relaxed.

This reason could explain away Jiang Wanqing's irrational side just now.

Madam Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, you should prepare for this matter as soon as possible."

Jiang Wanqing held Xiao Xiao in her arms and bowed to Madam Zhou. "It's definitely too late to go today. I will make good preparations before visiting you. I borrowed some silver from my cousin to save Mu Sheng. I don't have any cash on hand. I will go to the storehouse to pick out a piece of jewelry to pawn so that I can pay back my cousin's money."

Warehouse?!

Hearing these two words, Madam Zhou immediately raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Wanqing.

He quickly said, "Why bother going to the storehouse to pick out jewelry? Since Nan Sheng redeemed it for you, it's given to Mu Sheng, so you don't have to return it."

Mrs. Zhou's heart suddenly began to lift.

If we go to the warehouse, we will find...

Jiang Wanqing frowned and sighed, "But my cousin's expression just now clearly showed that she wanted me to return it, so I should return it to her."

Madam Zhou waved her hand: "I'm in charge of this matter, don't worry about it, don't worry about it!"

Jiang Wanqing said firmly: "No, I still don't like to owe others. Besides, Mu Sheng is my child, there is no reason for my sister to pay him back."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her brows furrowed tightly.

I also began to feel a little dissatisfied with Song Nansheng.

Mu Sheng is Song Nansheng's child, and she is asked to pay back the money, and she is so reluctant!

Now, Jiang Wanqing wanted to go to the warehouse to take a look.

How can this be good?

You can’t go to that warehouse!

After struggling for a moment, Madam Zhou said, "It's just one thousand taels of gold. I'll give it to you. Just think of it as giving it to Mu Sheng."

Then, Old Madam Zhou gave a look to the nanny beside her.

After a while, the old nanny came with a pile of silver bills.

At Madam Zhou's suggestion, the nanny gave the banknote to Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing took the thick and heavy stack of banknotes.

He sneered in his heart.

This old woman is so rich, yet she still comes here to get the three dishes and a soup!

Looking at Madam Zhou, he said hesitantly, "Actually... it's not one thousand taels of gold, it's two thousand taels of gold."

When Madam Zhou heard this, her face changed drastically: "Two thousand taels of gold! Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Wanqing looked aggrieved: "Mother-in-law, I didn't lie to you. You can also ask my cousin or Lady Yan from Wuyou Pavilion about this matter. Otherwise, I'll go to the warehouse and get a piece of dowry to sell."

As he spoke, Jiang Wanqing was about to leave.

Madam Zhou quickly said, "Wait, I'll give you another 1,000 taels of gold."

As soon as she said this, Madam Zhou felt a moment of regret.

She was afraid that Jiang Wanqing would discover the secret of the warehouse, and she was also afraid that all her private money would be spent.

Jiang Wanqing held the banknote in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

I didn't realize that Madam Zhou is so rich.

Then he stopped and looked at Old Madam Zhou.

Even the nanny beside her said with a hint of embarrassment: "Old Madam, the money left in your box is less than one thousand taels of gold."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she immediately looked up at the nanny.

"How could that be, I..."

Halfway through her words, Mrs. Zhou belatedly realized that she had already given her money to Zi Gu.

When Jiang Wanqing saw this, she realized that Madam Zhou was really out of money.

Then he said, "Don't worry, mother. I'll go to the storeroom and pick out some jewelry."

After saying this, he left the room without giving Madam Zhou time to react.

Old Madam Zhou looked at Jiang Wanqing's back as he hurried away.

After realizing it, she gnashed her teeth and said, "It's all Song Nansheng's fault! Why did he come to this mansion for no reason? He made Jiang Wanqing pay her back in a hurry!"

Warehouse…

You can't let him go to the warehouse!
