After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The second wife really went.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "Second Aunt, it was my younger sister who broke the vase. My parents are still alive. How can I, as the eldest sister-in-law, interfere?"

The Second Madam smiled awkwardly: "Eldest brother is like a father, and eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Besides, you have already lent out 10,000 taels of silver when the Zhao family got into trouble. Why not treat it as you lent it to Second Aunt!"

At worst, I won't return it. What can this girl do to her?

Meng Qianqian knew exactly what she was up to. She smiled and said, "Does Second Aunt really have no money? What a coincidence. I just checked the accounts of the mansion a few days ago and found that there were many discrepancies in the accounts of the Second House. Why don't we call Manager Yang to ask him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the second wife's face changed on the spot.

Of course the old lady knew that the second wife had embezzled some money, but she had no idea how much.

This is because among the old lady’s three trusted stewards, one named Yang was bribed by the second lady. The second lady always thought she was hiding very well, but she didn’t expect to be discovered by Meng Qianqian!

The second wife felt guilty.

She raised her hand and touched the pearl hairpin on her head, and laughed dryly, "What accounts are there? Second Aunt is not the head of the family... Maybe one of the servants remembered it wrongly. Second Aunt will ask your Second Uncle later!"

Meng Qianqian asked innocently, "This money...will Second Aunt still lend it to me?"

The Second Madam waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no! It's not easy for you either. Second Aunt, please think of another way."

Coming out of Haitang Courtyard, the Second Madam gritted her teeth and said, "That damn girl, how come she has become a different person? No wonder even my mother fell in her hands!"

The second wife went to look for Lu's mother again, but Lu's mother said she was ill and couldn't see her, so she went to the old lady's yard.

The old lady picked up the club and chased her out.

Master Lu couldn't stand it any longer: "Pay it yourself! You have it! How much money have you embezzled from Qianqian in the past few years? You can't even come up with 10,000 taels?"

The Second Madam said depressedly: "What do you know? That ten thousand taels... is the dowry prepared for Linglong!"

Master Lu said, "What's the point of having a dowry if you're already dead?"

"Didn't he come back?" Second Madam muttered, her eyes flashing, "It's the IOU written by Xiao Ge'er..."

Master Lu said impatiently, "You deceived Qianqian, but mother and elder brother turned a blind eye. How dare you deceive Xiao Ge'er? Aren't you afraid that mother and elder brother will kill you!"

The second wife almost tore the handkerchief: "I know, I know! I believe that my mother wants to kill me, but my eldest brother won't! My eldest brother is such a good person!"

Master Lu hesitated and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the Governor's Mansion and return the money!"

The second wife went reluctantly.

She paid back the banknotes.

Pay the money with one hand and get the IOU with the other.

Manager Cen smiled and handed the banknotes to Lu Yuan.

"Grand Governor."

"Ah."

Lu Yuan hummed nonchalantly without even raising his eyelids.

Manager Cen placed the banknotes on the small table and bowed before leaving.

Baoshu used her hands and feet to crawl over quickly. She grabbed the banknotes on the table with her chubby hands and stuffed them into her little pocket.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "Who allowed you to take it?"

Bao Shu yelled fiercely: "Woooooo!"

It seems to be saying, I earned it!

Lu family.

Mother Lu claimed to be ill today and stayed in the hospital to recuperate. It wasn't all fake. She really wasn't feeling well.

"Madam..."

Yu Lian opened the curtain and went inside, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Mother Lu sighed, "She's here again?"

Yu Lian hesitated and said, "It's not the Second Madam, it's... Aunt Wu, how about I tell Aunt Wu that you've gone to bed?"

Mother Lu shook her head: "Let her in."

"Yes."

Yulian led Nanny Wu into the house.

Nanny Wu bowed to Lu's mother first, then took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and placed it on the table, saying, "The eldest young master is able to get out of bed, and I believe he will recover soon. Madam, please find a day to let the eldest young master's wife drink the medicine, so that she can give birth to a legitimate son for the Lu family."

Seeing that Mother Lu didn't say anything, Nanny Wu smiled and said, "I know you love the eldest young lady, and the old lady did this for her own good. The eldest young lady is not as pleasing to the eldest young master as Miss Lin. If she doesn't have a son to rely on, how will she live the rest of her life? It will be different if she has a legitimate son. No matter how much Lin does, the family business will eventually belong to the legitimate son!"

Mother Lu said, "Qianqian is still young, there is no rush to have children."

Nanny Wu said, "At this age, the eldest lady is already pregnant with the eldest young master!"

Mother Lu said coldly: "There's no need to take medicine!"

Madam Wu snorted, "She fell into the water and injured herself. If she doesn't take medicine, she will never get pregnant! Besides, the medicine is expensive. If it were someone else, they might not be willing to spend money on their granddaughter-in-law! The eldest young master's reputation has been damaged. If the eldest young master's wife can give birth to a legitimate son, it can also restore some of the eldest young master's reputation. Madam, the eldest young master is your own son. You won't even care about your own son's career!"

Mother Lu clenched her handkerchief tightly: "It's all the same. Has anyone asked her if she is willing?"

Madam Wu said, "It is her duty as a wife and daughter-in-law to continue the Lu family's lineage! Let her be so capricious! That's all I have to say, Madam, hurry up and get the job done!"

After Nanny Wu left, Yu Lian looked at Mother Lu distressedly: "Madam..."

Mother Lu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and started coughing violently.

When she took away the handkerchief, Yu Lian's face changed drastically: "Madam, you are coughing up blood again, I will go get a doctor!"

Mother Lu shook her head and stopped her. Her eyes fell on the medicine bottle and she smiled bitterly, "The old lady thought I didn't know that the medicine she gave me was... this medicine."

Begonia Courtyard.

Tan'er has her own new clothes.

She was small, and in the past few days she had been wearing hand-me-down clothes that had been bought several years ago. They barely fit her, but because they were made of old cotton, they were not very warm.

Meng Qianqian asked Nanny Li to make her a new one.

"Like it?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Tan Er admired her clothes, her eyes sparkling: "I like it!"

"Put your sleeves in a little more." Nanny Li folded Tan'er's cuffs and said.

Tan Er said, "I'll collect it in the evening!"

She'll wear it for a day first!

Tan Er took Meng Qianqian's arm and said, "Sister, sister! Are you going out today?"

Meng Qianqian asked: "Do you want to go out?"

Tan Er pouted: "Now that I have new clothes, of course I have to go out and show them off!"

Madam Li was both angry and amused: "We didn't climb enough yesterday. Can you let Miss take a few days off? Do you think everyone is like you, with endless energy?"

Tan Er frowned bitterly, then thought of something and said with a smile, "Sister! Is Ni Bu Si looking for the accountant? I'll go there for you! See if he has found him?"

Meng Qianqian thought about it and thought it was feasible: "Okay, I'll let Wu Ge'er take you to the dental clinic."

"Get out! Get out!"

Tan'er rushed out of the yard excitedly.

Meng Qianqian smiled and looked away.

Nanny Li said with relief: "Young lady really likes Tan'er."

Meng Qianqian glanced at the clothes in the embroidery basket: "Doesn't Madam Li like it too?"

She was afraid that Nanny Li would be too tired, so she only asked her to do one set.

But for the second set, Nanny Li had only finished half of it.

Madam Li said awkwardly, "This girl is not only good at eating, but also very hardworking."

Banxia said sourly, "Yes, including breaking seven plates, ten bowls, burning through a pot, and exploding a kettle?"

Madam Li: “Ahem!”

Meng Qianqian chuckled.

Banxia: "Miss!"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "I like Banxia too."

Banxia blushed shyly.

As they were talking, a servant reported that someone from the palace had come to summon Meng Qianqian and Lin Wan'er into the palace.
