The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to
Chapter 241 A Waste House
Li did not sleep well the whole night and felt dizzy. After breakfast in the morning, she came to Songtao Garden.
The Songtao Garden was filled with a busy atmosphere. She just remembered that today was the day when the monthly allowance was distributed in the government office.
Li sat there bored, his eyes were a little empty and he looked confused.
Last night, she rejected her husband's sexual advances for the first time.
The reason was simple: she was unhappy.
A quarter of an hour ago, the Third Master had treated her like a worn-out shoe. After turning off the lights, she really couldn't accept him wholeheartedly and without distractions.
It was as if he came to the main room just for that matter.
When Li heard Wang and Zhang Mama checking the fifth room, she seemed to suddenly come to life and looked over.
She asked, "Sister-in-law, I remember there were so many servants in Yuanyuan Hall, aren't they all paid their monthly allowances in our house?"
Wang had been busy all morning and looked a little tired. She said slowly, "Some of the dowry of the fifth brother's wife will not be paid through the official account."
After taking a sip of tea, she continued, "Her small kitchen, the nutritionist and baby sitter sent by the Zheng family, and the guards in the back room were all subsidized by her dowry."
Li picked up some fruit from the plate and ate it. "Who knows if her mother gave her some money in private?"
As she also came from a merchant family, she became more and more envious of her fifth brother's wife.
Wang closed the account book, and after the five households received their monthly allowance, the money in the rear house was considered to have been distributed.
She showed a gentle smile and said, "My third sister-in-law also said it was private. Even if there is, it is mother's private property. Besides, you can't say such things casually. If mother or fifth sister-in-law knew, the family would be resentful."
Li looked at the people in the room. Apart from her and her eldest sister-in-law, the others were their confidants. Who could say this to others?
She sighed and said, "It's a pity that neither of us sisters-in-law have ever seen our mother. If she were still alive, the situation would be completely different and Third Master would not be trapped in the current predicament."
Outsiders say that the Duke's wife is generous and treats all children equally and shows great care and love.
But if the Third Master came out of her belly, she would definitely not be so careless.
Wang frowned slightly, thinking to herself that if the young master's biological mother were here, there would be even more trouble.
Li stood up from her chair, walked slowly to the desk in front of Wang, sat on the brocade stool below her, and whispered:
"Sister-in-law, can you lend me some money? The New Year is coming soon. Brother Bin and Sister Yun need to buy new clothes, and the Third Master will also spend a lot on his business..."
Wang was embarrassed and refused with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, although the power of the mansion is in my hands, I have to let the old lady take a look. Aren't you making me make a mistake by doing this?"
Li's smile faded a little, and she hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, I didn't ask you to touch the public account. This is a private loan from you."
She respected Wang as her eldest sister-in-law, and had never seen her be so sarcastic before.
As Wang spoke, the dimple on one side of her cheek deepened, and she smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, what you said is too formal."
He spread out the account book at the bottom so that she could see it clearly, and said, "My third brother came to withdraw money a few days ago, saying that he was buying a birthday present for Sister Yun."
Her voice was stern, and there was a hint of reproach in her eyes: "Take a look at the account book. How much money has your third room spent every year?"
Li didn't look at the red deficit she was pointing to, she only heard her sister-in-law say that the third master was here to withdraw money!
She stood up with red eyes, her voice trembling with anger and grievance:
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you inform me first? And why did you give money to Third Master? You are helping Zhao Shi to embarrass me!"
"What you said, sister-in-law, means that from now on, whatever I do, I have to ask your permission. Do you have the final say in this family?" Wang said lightly, and motioned Dai Qiao to go out and keep an eye on things.
This Li has never been smart. He acts impulsively without considering the consequences. Don't let anyone eavesdrop on him.
Li covered her chest, her stomach began to ache again, her voice trembling, "Sister-in-law, how did I treat you in the past?"
"You feel that Gu Jinchu is blocking your way and bothering you... There has never been a time when I didn't speak up for you and helped you to step on her, openly or secretly. You..."
"You actually indulged the Third Master and slapped me in the face for the sake of the concubine and the concubine's daughter!"
Li started to cry as she spoke, venting all the grievances she had experienced in the past, last night, and now.
Wang put away her smile, her eyes were cold, and her tone was firm: "Third sister-in-law, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."
"I don't know where your illusion came from. None of what you said or did was instructed by me at all!"
After being married to Duke Dingguo's mansion for more than ten years, Li seemed to have just seen Wang clearly today. She nodded, said a few good words, and staggered out.
That slender figure looked lonely and helpless.
Dai Qiao whispered beside Wang: "Madam, what's wrong with you today? Normally you can get rid of her with just a few words, why did you quarrel with the Third Madam?"
Wang took a deep breath, picked up the teacup and took two sips. Although Li was a reckless person, the Crown Prince and the Third Master were brothers after all, so they were definitely closer than the Third House.
She stared at the account book in front of her and said slowly, "Do you know how big a hole the Third Master has made?"
Seeing the maid's bewildered face, she continued, "In the future, Yu Ming and Bo from the third house will not be able to help us at all. The things left by mother-in-law are not much to begin with, are we going to give them all to that useless family?"
Trash...a family of trash!
Li's eyes were empty and her face was pale. She didn't know how she walked out of Songtao Garden and almost bumped into Cheng's mother who was coming towards her.
……
When Gu Jinchu arrived at Minghui Hall, Liu and Zhang came over with their sisters.
When Madam Jiang saw her coming in, she raised her hand and asked her to sit on the big kang near the window, "Jin Chu, come here quickly. It's very comfortable to feel the sun on your back."
