The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 496 Jealousy (1)

Xiao Ruiyuan was born in the Hou family. Although he had a father who was unlucky and didn't have much affection for him, the old Marquis Weiyuan, his grandfather, loved his eldest grandson extremely, regardless of his only son and step-daughter-in-law. If you object, take him by your side and teach him personally. Otherwise, no matter how talented Xiao Ruiyuan is, once he falls into the hands of his stepmother, it is unclear whether he will survive and grow up, let alone become a general with great military exploits and highly respected by those in power?

When Xiao Ruiyuan was twelve years old, the old Marquis Weiyuan's old illness relapsed, and he was already unable to recover. Knowing that he had not much time to live, he forced himself to drag his illness away and gave Emperor Hui'an an offer to ask his eldest grandson to be crowned heir apparent. In the end, regardless of whether it was in compliance with the rules or not, he forcefully divided the families between his children and grandchildren. Then he took the eldest grandson's hand and closed his eyes with a smile.

As the eldest son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the future head of the Marquis Mansion, Xiao Ruiyuan received 40% of the family property of the Marquis Mansion and all the private property accumulated by the old Marquis over the years. Taken together, even if he is a prodigal son who does not produce anything, It's enough to keep him defeated for several lifetimes.

Moreover, Xiao Ruiyuan's mother also came from a wealthy family. She was married into the Hou Mansion with ten miles of red dowry. Before her death, she left all of her one hundred thousand taels of silver, several shops for two days, and priceless antiques, calligraphy and paintings to her only son. His little treasury is quite rich, and it is not difficult for him to build a winery.

However, when he implicitly conveyed the message "What's mine is yours, just take it and use it" to the woman he loved, he was categorically rejected by Mo Yanming, who "didn't understand the style":

“Brother Xiao, I have already raised the money to build the winery, you don’t have to worry! You are a person who does big things, and the money is reserved for great use, but you can’t spend it on this!”

Mo Yan looked at Xiao Ruiyuan, the determination in his eyes unquestionable.

If the prince wants to succeed, he must have money. Not to mention anything else, just training those secret guards is a big expense. If he is secretly cultivating other forces, it will cost even more money. She is very good in this regard. It cannot be of help, and it must not be a hindrance.

 On the other hand, she is very sincere about this feeling and does not want it to be mixed with too many things. Moreover, building a winery is not only a matter of money. With the presence of the giant Buddha Yan Junyu, a lot of trouble can be saved. Cooperation between them is imperative.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn't know this. After being rejected, his mood fell to the extreme. His cold star-like eyes stared straight at his beloved woman. Although his face didn't show it, he still looked expressionless, but Mo Yan knew it clearly. I felt confusion and...depression from his emotions!

 To build such a large winery, it would cost at least one hundred thousand taels of silver. Even though there are many wealthy families in the capital, few can be so generous and spend so much money, let alone the Mo family, whose situation is slightly better than that of ordinary families.

Without thinking too carefully, Xiao Ruiyuan could guess that the money must have come from elsewhere. The woman he loved would rather ask for help from an outsider (without any awareness of being an outsider) than accept his kindness, which made him depressed.

Looking at the woman who stared at him, Xiao Ruiyuan felt a lump in his heart, as if he was stuffed with a ball of cotton. He took a deep breath to let out the heavy air in his chest. He finally felt better, but he began to worry unconsciously.

 A person who can happily spend so much money to build a winery must be extremely wealthy. However, no one would mind having too much money. If that person saw the value of the brewing recipe, he could use his means to get the recipe and make it himself. However, this person did not. Instead, he actually cooperated with Yan'er. How can we not worry?
