A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Chapter 89

Mrs. Zhao only felt pain in her heart.

angry.

Obviously in her and Yu Wan'er's plan, things shouldn't be like this.

The common people should pity her, support her, and help her criticize Leng Lan!
But now, everything is reversed!

Originally, if the plan went well, she could follow Leng Lanzhi into the house and then threaten Leng Lanzhi to give her money.

Today, the husband came back from court and told her that a corrupt official had just been raided in Leng Lanzhi's fief, and dozens of boxes of pearls and tens of millions of taels of silver were found in the corrupt official's house.

And the money, according to the rules, is all Leng Lanzhi's. Now that the case is settled, it can be returned to the original owner only after the people in the princess mansion have checked the amount of stolen money.

Thousands of taels of silver and dozens of boxes of pearls!

Regardless of the value of those pearls, the silver alone is enough to make people jealous.

You know, although Pingnanhou is a second-class marquis, his annual salary is only more than a thousand taels, and the rice is dozens of shi.

Shen Yizhi only has a six rank thousand household, and his annual salary is no more than a hundred taels.

This kind of money can be regarded as a huge sum of money in ordinary people, the kind that can sit and eat, but it is not enough to look at in Shengjing and the rich and powerful.

After all, the Hou Mansion is just a monthly case of a second-class maid, which costs two taels of silver every month, plus cooks, guards and many other people, it costs nearly a hundred taels a month just to support these people.

Plus house repairs, daily food and clothing expenses, etc...

A thousand taels of silver is really not enough anywhere.

Fortunately, the Marquis Mansion still had hundreds of acres of fertile farmland as a reward from the emperor. By collecting rents, he could still save several thousand taels of silver every year, so he barely managed to avoid having to live in vain.

But again, earning several thousand taels a year is really not enough in Shengjing, where every inch of land is precious.

After all, it is impossible for them to just eat and drink in their own homes and not go out to socialize.

And to go out to socialize, not to buy new clothes?New jewelry?

Ladies and gentlemen in Beijing like to compare clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache...

Mrs. Zhao is desperately trying to squeeze into that circle, is it okay not to buy it?
In addition, Ping Nanhou likes to drink a little wine and go to Hualou when he is free...

Not to say that we cannot make ends meet, but we can only make a living.

In the past, although Mrs. Zhao knew that her daughter-in-law had a fiefdom, she didn't think much about it.

After all, Leng Lanzhi's food and clothing are all in Pingnanhou's Mansion, and seeing how she put on a show, Zhao thought that there was no money in the fief.

Only today did she realize how wrong she was in the past!
Why no money!

That is simply a country with unparalleled wealth, isn’t it?
She was upset, and the Hou Mansion was struggling, and Yu Wan'er had intentionally or unintentionally guided her, saying that a daughter-in-law should honor her parents-in-law... so Mrs. Zhao came.

Now that the plan to secretly use the pressure of public opinion to threaten Leng Lanzhi cannot be carried out, Zhao simply broke the pot and said: "Why do you want to go in and say it? Are you afraid to confront me in public because of your guilty conscience?"

She no longer covered her face with her hands, and only then did the people around see clearly that this man's face was clean, and there was no trace of sadness or grievance on his face?

On the contrary, the princess is soft and weak, as if she will be blown away by a gust of wind, which makes people feel affectionate.

Faced with the accusation, Leng Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why did my mother-in-law say this?"

Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "Today, in front of my parents and fellow villagers, let's talk about it."

"When a husband and wife get married, the property must be put together. You and my son have been married for six years, but you have never handed in a copper coin. I will bear it. After all, you are a princess with a noble status. I have no right to question you. What.

But you should never, never should, take Yizhi away!There is only one son, Yizhi, in my Hou Mansion, and it will depend on him to prop up the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the future.If you take him away, you will take away all the future income of the Pingnanhou Mansion!How do you let our family live? "

It's really unheard of for a majestic wife of the Hou's mansion, who was supposed to support the whole of the Hou's mansion's intermediary affairs, to come here to spoil her daughter-in-law and ask her for money.

Not to mention that there is no such precedent in the aristocratic circle, it is rare for ordinary people to see such a strange thing.

The people around were stunned.

A dark light flashed across Leng Lan's eyes.

It turned out to be for money.

In the past, although this old godly woman was annoying, she never dared to worry about her money bag.

Come to think of it, this must be the handiwork of the good wife.

Leng Lanzhi lowered her eyes, and asked with a good temper, "What do mother-in-law want?"

Seeing her being so submissive, Mrs. Zhao thought that the method of using public opinion had worked. She snorted coldly and became more and more satisfied: "Let Yizhi go back to live in Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and make up for the share you owe over the years."

The people watching suddenly didn't know how to evaluate it.

He is really thick-skinned for his daughter-in-law to ask for money so confidently.

Of course, some people think that although Mrs. Ping Nanhou is not good-looking, she seems to be doing everything right.

Ordinary people's family, which family is not the mother-in-law?
Regardless of whether it is a son or a daughter-in-law, the money earned must be handed over to the grandfather.

As a result, the two groups of people who thought Zhao was right and those who thought Zhao was wrong started a heated discussion, and those who thought Zhao was right gradually gained the upper hand.

Zhao became more and more proud.

Leng Lanzhi sighed softly and winked at the housekeeper beside him.

The butler beat the gong heavily, and the harsh sound of gongs and drums suppressed all the surrounding discussions.

Leng Lanzhi lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Mother-in-law may have forgotten... that being a prince-in-law is equivalent to marrying into a wife. Not only does the person belong to the woman, but all his future income also belongs to the woman?"

Mrs. Zhao was startled, and suddenly cast a guilty look in her eyes.

Leng Lanzhi lived in Pingnanhou's Mansion for six years, so that everyone forgot the essence of Shen Yizhi's marriage.

Mrs. Zhao said stubbornly: "Even if it is a married woman, Ke Yizhi is my only son, you have to let him take care of us—"

Leng Lanzhi sighed again: "Mother-in-law, do you have to be so clear with me?"

Her tone sounded a little resentful.

If you really want to settle accounts, then some accounts should really be settled.

The money she spent on Pingnanhou Mansion was not much, but it was only relative to the money in her treasury.

Zhao seemed to have heard the pleading from inside?
Thinking that Leng Lanzhi was scared, she was shocked: "Brothers still want to settle accounts openly! Not to mention that if you take Yizhi away, our Pingnan Marquis Mansion will no longer be able to survive! This account must be settled!"

Leng Lanzhi gave a bitter smile: "Well, since mother-in-law insists on settling the score——"

Her style of painting suddenly changed: "Then do the math."

Zhao's heart was overjoyed.

Is this agreed?
How much does she want later?
Leng Lanzhiguang confiscated tens of millions of taels of money from corrupt officials, and she will leave half of it, isn't it too much?

Thinking about it, she opened her mouth and said: "Daughters-in-law of other people's families need to give all their income to their mother-in-law to supplement the family. I don't want you either, as long as you hand in half of it." .”

As she spoke, she also showed an expression that she thought was very understanding.
