Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince
Chapter 9 Only 12 Silver Notes Left
"Grandma, your headache has been cured for more than a year, and your granddaughter-in-law has stopped making medicine." Jiang Chuwei said.
"How can you stop making medicine? Your grandmother is old, shouldn't you be prepared at all times?" Lu Yanfang's sharp voice made people's ears hurt.
Jiang Chuwei looked up at her and said, "Didn't you cause Grandmother to faint today?"
"How can you blame me for this? Someone spread the news about Big Brother and Qiao Xueruo. Jiang Chuwei, was it you who spread it?"
After Lu Yanfang said this, Chen Yulan also looked at Jiang Chuwei with a scrutinizing look.
Jiang Chuwei asked, "Do you think the prince would do such a thing? Doesn't he know that this matter will get out?"
Madam Lu was getting more and more painful, but the mother and daughter were still arguing about who spread the news.
Isn’t her life her life?
"Weier, go back to the house and make the medicine. Grandma is waiting to save her. Ouch! ... Ouch!"
Madam Lu couldn't bear the pain any more.
"Grandma! Medicinal herbs need money to buy, and mother is in charge of the family now!"
Jiang Chuwei looked at Chen Yulan.
Chen Yulan said, "There is only one hundred taels of silver left in the treasury. I'll give it to you to buy medicinal herbs. What will everyone eat and drink?"
Madam Lu shouted, "Shut up! Ouch..."
Then he turned to look at Jiang Chuwei and said, "Wei'er, go buy some herbs first. I'll ask your mother to give you the money later."
After saying this, he winked at Chen.
"Don't you have a lot of dowry? Can't you use your own money to buy medicine for your grandmother? How can you be so unfilial?" Lu Yanfang said loudly.
"To be honest, my sister has taken a lot of silver, money and jewelry from me. Why don't you show your filial piety to your grandmother today and take out the silver to buy medicine." Jiang Chuwei stretched out her hand to Lu Yufang.
"How can you touch my money? Should I still get married?" Lu Yanfang was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"What does buying medicine for grandma have to do with your marriage? Or do you think that grandma is not important in your heart and you are reluctant to spend even a little money? Where is your filial piety?"
Lu Yanfang's face turned red when Jiang Chuwei retorted.
"I don't know when you became so eloquent." Lu Yanke walked in from outside.
Ever since his affair with Qiao Xueruo became a public knowledge, he stopped pretending.
He hasn't set foot in Avon Court in the past few days.
"Don't you see that your grandma is very upset? Does it hurt so much to spend some money?" Lu Yanke looked at Jiang Chuwei unhappily.
"Grandmother's old illness has recurred because of the prince's matter. It would be better if the prince paid the money." Jiang Chuwei looked at Lu Yanke sarcastically.
He had no money, so he gave all of it to Qiao Xueruo. After all, they still had a son to raise.
Lu Yanke was angry: "If you go buy herbs, mother will give you money."
Chen Yulan said, "Why should I pay? She used to pay for the herbs for my grandmother."
Lu Yanke said patiently, "Mother, this is not your private money, but the public money. Give it to her now. Grandmother's illness cannot be delayed any longer."
"Where can I get the money from the government? I only have 100 taels left. Tomorrow the monthly allowances for each room and the servants will be distributed."
Lu Yanke found it incredible: "How come there is only one hundred taels left in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Lu Yanfang didn't believe it: "Where is the money from the Marquis' Mansion? It must be you, you vicious woman. Tell me, how much money from the public treasury has you embezzled in the past few years as the head of the household."
"Sister! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Ask mother if I have embezzled any money while managing this family?" Jiang Chuwei said coldly.
Chen felt guilty and said nothing.
Chen Yulan knew very well how poor this family was.
If it weren't for the dowry from the former marquis' wife and the allowance after marrying Jiang Chuwei, how could the marquis' mansion maintain its current status?
When she handed the account book to Jiang Chuwei, there was a negative number in the account.
"Bang!" With a sound, Old Madam Lu smashed a porcelain bottle.
"You are all rebelling. I am about to go to hell, and you are still arguing over a few pieces of silver? Why don't you give me the silver?"
She just couldn't stand it anymore.
These unfilial sons value money more than her life.
Facing the old lady's murderous look, Chen Yulan dared not talk back.
She softened her tone: "Wei Er, go buy the herbs first, and mother will give them to you in a few days."
"Mother! There are rumors about the prince outside now. If it is spread that even the grandmother's medicinal herbs have to be bought with the daughter-in-law's dowry, the Marquis' Mansion will become a laughing stock in Shangjing tomorrow."
Chen Yulan felt upset. If you don't tell anyone, no one will know that your dowry was used.
Lu Yanke is Chen Yulan's beloved daughter. Her son was criticized so badly just because he favored a woman. If more bad rumors spread, would her son's future be ruined?
"Go to my dressing box and get a hundred taels of silver." Chen Yulan had to agree even if she was unwilling.
The maid responded and immediately went to get the banknotes.
"Mother! One hundred taels can only make two pills." Jiang Chuwei kindly reminded.
"Why is the medicine so expensive? Isn't this just robbing people?" Chen Yulan said unhappily.
"In the past, I used my own money to buy grandma's medicine, and I made ten pills at a time. Is mother reluctant to give grandma medicine?"
Lu Yanke's face darkened.
He never imagined that life in the Marquis' Mansion would be so difficult.
It turns out that the Marquis' Mansion was supported by Jiang Chuwei in the past.
He looked at his mother.
Chen Yulan had no choice but to say: "Take five hundred taels from my private treasury."
Her heart was bleeding.
This was the dowry of the former marquis' wife that she had embezzled with great difficulty!
I spent all of it on medicine for this old man.
She looked at the old lady. She was really stingy! She was in so much pain, but she refused to use her own private money. Did she want to take her own private money into the coffin?
Seeing that Chen Yulan agreed to take the money, Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Chuwei and said, "Wei'er, go quickly and make the medicine quickly."
"Grandma! It will take at least ten days to make the pills."
Madam Lu rolled her eyes and fainted again.
It would be better to let her die than to be tortured for ten days.
"Grandma! Grandma..." There was chaos in the house.
Lu Yanke looked at Jiang Chuwei viciously. She did it on purpose.
After collecting the five hundred taels of silver, Jiang Chuwei did not stop for a moment.
"Miss, do you really want to make pills for the old lady?" Xia Qi said indignantly.
The whole family teamed up to deceive the young lady, and to this day, there has been no explanation.
"Of course we have to make it! The old lady's headache will be almost cured in ten days."
"The old lady has been tortured for ten days. Miss wants to make some pills so she doesn't have to take care of her." Dong Hua explained.
"No wonder the young lady could make all the pills in one day in the past, but now says it takes ten days. So this is the reason." Xia Qi scratched his head.
She always speaks directly, and I really don't understand the twists and turns behind it.
"From now on, just protect the young lady and talk less." Chunqin rolled her eyes at her.
Xia Qi hugged Dong Hua and said, "Thank you for helping me solve my doubts. I will follow you from now on."
Jiang Chuwei laughed and said, "Are you ashamed? Dong Hua is two years younger than you."
"Miss!" Xia Qi acted coquettishly.
Chunqin: "Don't act like a little girl. It's not like you at all."
Xia Qi:.......
The master and his servants chatted and laughed all the way to Avon Court.
Qiu Shu said: "Miss! Miss Lu took a lot of your jewelry, do you want to take it back?"
Lu Yanfang's expression today made them feel sorry for the young lady.
"Yes, Miss! Miss Lu is so abominable. She has been asking for money from you more than once or twice. The hairpin she is wearing today is your dowry."
Xia Qi looked at her acting so aggressively in front of the young lady and almost couldn't help but slap her twice.
The whole family is shameless.
