Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 20 He Juxin
Jiang Wanning observed his words and continued: "I admire my husband, so I am willing to help him and Madam Xu. I plan for my husband wholeheartedly. I originally wanted to give my dowry to my mother-in-law, but I found that my mother-in-law cares most about her. The people here are not Lang Jun, but the master and Qi Lang."

Song Yu suddenly raised his head, a danger signal in his eyes.

His father valued his second younger brother more, and he himself had noticed this a long time ago. Otherwise, why could the second younger brother stay with his father, while his father rarely cared about him, the eldest son who stayed behind at home?

He just didn't want to admit it, and even found various reasons for his father to deceive himself.

Jiang Wanning's words completely pierced the window paper, forcing him to face the cruel truth.

But Jiang Wanning had ulterior motives when she said something was wrong with her mother.

Jiang Wan Ning understood the warning in his eyes but did not stop.

"I've seen my family's account books. Ever since I went to Ningchuan, I've asked my family for money every year, ranging from a thousand taels to a few thousand taels. Manager Zhong said that I spend a lot of money on socializing and socializing there."

"But as far as I know, the master received a lot of tribute from Ningchuan. The Jiang family alone gives him more than a thousand taels of tribute every year. Is he really short of money?"

"The account book shows that over the years, the family has never received a penny from the master, only the family has subsidized him. If you don't believe this, you can ask Manager Zhong."

Song Yu's expression was dark and difficult to distinguish, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

His mother never told him about this, but Jiang Wanning's words were so conclusive that he couldn't believe them.

So...my father obviously had money, but he didn't give it to the family, and even asked the family for it. All his money was used by Aunt Zheng to do the shipping business, and maybe it was also used to buy property for Aunt Zheng and her son.

What's more, maybe greed for the money for not building the river embankment was just an excuse. The 10 taels of snowflake silver that the Jiang family helped him make up for the shortfall fell into the hands of Aunt Zheng and his second brother.

Song Yu couldn't help but think about the bad things, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Since last year, I have asked for more and more money. Last year, I asked for a total of 600 taels. This year, the total is almost 4000 taels. Last year... I was transferred to Xuancheng."

"The government's annual income from land rent and tea business is only about 500 taels. Such a large family has to support and maintain many human relationships. The third aunt has to come to get some benefits from time to time. This little income is not enough even if you give it to me. How do you support yourself as a mother-in-law?"

"She can only use her dowry, and now her dowry has been consumed and there is not much left."

"My mother-in-law is such a shrewd person. She doesn't know what's going on with the master? But she didn't dare to resist the master, or she didn't even think about resisting. Instead, she kept satisfying the master and getting everything he asked for, to prove her The value of being a royal wife includes sacrificing your happiness."

"Jiang Wan Ning..." Song Yu jumped up and accused sternly.

"Are you trying to sow discord between me and my mother? What are your intentions?"

His father was mentally prepared for his indifference and use of him. Although it was difficult to accept it, Thaksin believed in him.

But if he doubted his mother's love for him, he would never believe it.

The pity in Jiang Wanning's eyes was even greater, and she said slowly: "As long as my mother-in-law fights for her reasons, she will never give in. In fact, there is still a candidate in the Song family who can marry me, right?"

Boom... Song Yu felt like he was hit hard on the head.

yes!There is also a fourth younger brother in the family, whose status and age are more suitable for Jiang Wan Ning.

When he first knew that his father wanted him to marry Jiang Wanning, he knelt in front of his mother and begged. He said... he could let his fourth brother marry her.

What did mother say?

Mother said, how could such a large dowry be so advantageous to Song Heng?

In the mother's eyes, the father's words are imperial edicts.

In his mother's eyes, his happiness was not worth the Jiang family's generous dowry.

Song Yu's head was dizzy and he staggered. Fortunately, he held Fang Ji on the Arhat's couch to prevent him from collapsing.

Jiang Wanning ignored him and continued quietly: "Today I told my mother-in-law that I want to decorate Wuniang's eight shops. Wuniang's husband, Aweng, is a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. Although his official position is not high, he is It’s an important position, and I may be able to help Mr. Lang in the future.”

"The rest of the dowry was sold for easy money, and I asked my husband to take it to the capital next year. I have learned a lot, so passing the exam is inevitable, but whether I can find a good place after passing the exam will cost a lot of money." Take care..."

Jiang Wanning said and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "If Lang Jun doesn't believe it, you can ask Yu Niang. She went to Chengxintang with me today and ask her if I said that. Lang Jun can also go Ask Wu Niang, did I tell her that I would leave all the dowry to the husband..."

"If I don't do this and marry my mother-in-law, I don't know whose hands it will fall into in the end. Maybe it's Erlang, maybe it's Qilang, but it won't be Langjun."

"The one I admire is your husband. I am willing to give my things to you. It's not that the Jiang family can't afford it, but why should I give it to others?" Song Yu forced himself to calm down and couldn't let Jiang Wanning lead the way. She definitely has ulterior motives.

He didn't believe his mother would do this to him.

So, Song Yu gritted his teeth with a blue face and said: "What you said, I will go to my mother to verify it."

Jiang Wanning was three-quarters aggrieved and seven-points calm: "Mr. Lang will ask him himself, but if Lang Jun asks so straightforwardly, his mother-in-law will definitely deny it. Aunt Cui was there at the time, but she is a close confidant of her mother-in-law, so she will only Cover up for my mother-in-law."

"You alone said all the good things." Song Yu snorted coldly.

Jiang Wanning endured her grievances: "I just want to say that the point of seeking verification is not whether I told my mother-in-law about this matter, but whether my mother-in-law agreed to the fact that I left all the dowry to you. If my mother-in-law agreed, , I am willing to admit all my mistakes and invite myself to the court without taking a penny with me. If my mother-in-law does not agree, my husband will know that what I said is true."

Song Yu stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to see if there was any ulterior motives hidden under her flawless appearance.

But he couldn't see the clues. The sadness and grievance in her eyes were so real.

Qing'e, who was outside the door, heard a dispute happening inside, but couldn't hear clearly. She only knew that the quarrel was about money.

I was anxious and wanted to get closer to hear the truth.

The door opened with a bang, and Lang Jun walked out, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds about to rain.

"Lang Jun..."

Song Yu seemed not to hear and walked away.

Qing'e hurriedly went in and saw the lady sitting there crying silently.

"Madam, what happened? This servant seems to be very angry."

Jiang Wan Ning pursed her lips, and her tears rolled down one after another like broken beads.

Feeling very aggrieved and full of resentment, she sobbed: "I have good intentions but have been treated like a donkey."

Qing'e took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Madam, don't cry. Speak slowly."

"Qing'e, please give me some advice. I want to reconcile and separate. Is it wrong for Mr. Cheng and Madam Xu to do so?"

Qing'e pursed her lips and shook her head.

This can be regarded as self-awareness. The Song family all despises the wife. If the wife insists on occupying the position of the Song family's eldest daughter-in-law, her life will not be saved.

"My husband and I are finally married. I want to leave my dowry to my husband. Is that wrong?"

Qing'e was shocked: "Leave everything...to Mr. Lang?"

That’s nearly 20 taels of silver!

"You know that my father insists on being related to the Song family in order not to be looked down upon by others. In the future, the Jiang family will have an official family. Now that we are getting divorced, I will leave the dowry to Mr. Lang. , Lang Jun will be successful in the future, can you remember the kindness of the Jiang family? Those nephews of mine want to study and get ahead, maybe Lang Jun can help..."

Jiang Wanning's mood gradually calmed down: "I am doing this for my husband, and especially for the Jiang family."

Qing'e nodded: "My lady is thoughtful."

"But I told my mother-in-law about this today, but she didn't agree. She asked me to hand over all the dowry to her. You think, if I give all the dowry to her, can I still be a husband? Is that so? She has to use it to please the master, and in the end it all falls into the hands of Aunt Zheng and her son."

"I am marrying the husband, not the second son of the Song family. Why should I marry them as my companion?"

Qing'e now wholeheartedly agreed.

"We can't give them any advantage."

"My mother-in-law may have been anxious, and she didn't know how to tell Lang Jun, so he came to question me. I was really... really wronged."

When it comes to the sad part, I can't stop crying.
