Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

Old Master Meng Er was sitting in the hall, listening to what the steward said.

"Old Master Meng, the mansion is short of funds now. Now everyone in the mansion eats one meat and one vegetable every day. The prince himself only eats four dishes and one soup..."

"Now the examples that the prince gives you are the same as the prince's own. If you want to eat other things, you have to pay to go to the big kitchen and let the big kitchen make it..."

The manager described the situation as very serious.

Everyone in the second branch of the Meng family was stunned.

"Prince Chen is having such a hard time? This is impossible!"

"How dare you deceive us?"

"If you dare to lie to us, Prince Chen will definitely sell you out."

Everyone in the second house angrily scolded the stewards.

"If you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do."

What he said was half true and half false, but the servants in the palace would indeed just serve one meat dish, one vegetable dish and a soup, while the stewards would add one more dish.

Prince Chen did eat four dishes and one soup, and what he could not finish would be given to the servants in the mansion as a reward.

The Emperor did not give the prince much as a reward, but the Empress Dowager gave Prince Chen 50,000 taels of silver, and the Empress also gave him 10,000 taels of silver plus a lot of jewelry and some other things.

The ladies in the palace sent various gifts, and the princes, princesses, and aristocratic families also sent some gifts. But many of these things could only be seen and were of little use.

"My mother is still ill and can't have bird's nest. So she has to have a chicken every day and some other nutritious dishes, right?"

The master of the second house said angrily.

He had lived a wealthy life since he was young. After the fall of the Meng family, he suffered a lot in recent years. Now he finally returned to the capital and stayed in Prince Chen's Mansion. He thought he could finally eat some delicious food.

As for the silver in their hands, they fought hard to keep it. They would use the money to make a comeback in the future, so how could they take it out?

There is no way I can take it out!

"I didn't expect that Prince Chen's life was so difficult. Boss, you all shut up. It's great that the prince has taken us in now. How dare you make any suggestions..." Old Master Meng II pretended to scold his eldest son and others.

"Let's eat first. We're hungry after so many days."

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, the portions were quite sufficient, but the people from the second branch of the Meng family felt that these things were not worthy of them. They were now relatives of Prince Chen, how could they eat such simple food?

At this time, Mrs. Meng Er walked out of the house.

"Eat your meal quickly. This might be a test from Prince Chen to our family. If you dislike these things and don't want to eat them, Prince Chen might kick us out when he finds out..."

After hearing his wife's words, Old Master Meng Er also came to his senses.

"Your grandmother is right. Eat quickly and stop being picky. Not only do we have to eat, we have to eat all of these things."

After hearing what the elders said, everyone ate their meal quickly.

In a short while, all the food on the table was eaten and all the soup was drunk.

When the serving maids came in, they were stunned to see the empty plates on the table. After a while, they came to their senses and took the dishes and chopsticks away.

"Make us some tea."

The master of the second house scolded.
