In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 7 7 Treat her as a fool!

The next day, early in the morning, while Jiang Ruanxi was having breakfast, Zhou came to Jiang Ruanxi's Yunlin Garden and pretended to talk about the cause of the silver accidentally.

Jiang Ruanxi put down the porcelain bowl, pretended to be anxious and asked, "Mom, how much does it cost?"

"Actually, it's not much." Ms. Zhou hesitated to speak.

"How much is not more?" Jiang Ruanxi acted with her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou knew that Jiang Ruan Xi had taken the bait, and said slowly, "It's only twenty thousand taels of silver. If needed later, I may need more."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruanxi sneered in his heart.

These people are really greedy and greedy.

Twenty thousand taels was almost the surplus of all the Lin family's properties, but she didn't think it was much.

She still remembered that in her previous life, Mrs. Zhou had come to her to ask for money. However, for Lin Ningkun's future, she had sold a lot of dowry subsidies, but at that time Mrs. Zhou did not ask for as much money as she does now.

After reviving her life, she will no longer be so stupid.

"Mother, you also know the situation in the Hou Mansion now. It may not be possible to get so much money."

The expression on Zhou's face suddenly darkened, "Why can't you take it out?"

Mrs. Zhou thought she was unwilling to take it.

Because in the past few years, under the stewardship of Jiang Ruanxi, the Hou Mansion has lived a much more refined and extravagant life than before, how could it not be able to come up with this little money.

"If mother doesn't believe it, the account books of the Hou Mansion are all here. You can take them back and read them yourself. Otherwise, you will be accused of deceiving me."

Jiang Ruanxi stood up, took a stack of ledgers on the table at one side and placed them in front of her.

"These are the account books of the Hou Mansion. Before I came to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion owed a lot of foreign debts. In recent years, the business of the Hou Mansion has improved a bit, but the family has a lot of expenses and is in a state of imbalance. Many of them are out of balance. I paid for it with my own dowry.

But even this cannot make ends meet, and I still owe a foreign debt of 20,000 taels. I originally planned to be more frugal this year and smooth out these accounts.

But who would have thought that the Marquis brought Brother Xiao back, and although he has not adopted him yet, the food and clothing expenses are already in accordance with the standards of the legitimate son of the Marquis. The Marquis also said that he would buy a courtyard. Originally, the Marquis had already been frugal on food and clothing, and now he wants to take the money. It is indeed a bit difficult to pay 20,000 taels of silver. "

Zhou had no intention of going through the accounts, thinking that Jiang Ruanxi was making excuses, and thought for a moment, "In that case, how about putting the matter of setting up the courtyard on hold for now."

Naturally, the Zhou family would not want her grandson to endure hardship, so she had no choice but to wrong Jiang Xuerou.

Jiang Ruanxi thought for a few seconds, "Since mother said so. It's also related to the future of Lord Marquis, so I'll move it elsewhere. But twenty thousand taels may be a bit difficult, and I can only come up with five thousand taels at most."

Five thousand taels is simply not enough.

Zhou frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Ruan Xi's gentle face, she suddenly had an idea, "Ruan Xi, I remember that there are several shops in the east of the city in your dowry, right?"

Jiang Ruanxi didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would take advantage of her shop, and her eyelids turned cold. She was about to find an excuse to refuse, but before she could speak, Ms. Zhou took her hand.

"Anyway, you have so much dowry, why not sell a few shops and make money?"

"Old madam, you can't do it. That's madam's dowry." Before Jiang Ruanxi could say anything, Hongye on the side spoke anxiously, fearing that Jiang Ruanxi would be soft-hearted and agree.

Seeing that someone was interrupting her and rejecting her, Mrs. Zhou immediately let go of Jiang Ruanxi's hand, her face turned cold, and she glared at Hongye fiercely, "You are a cheap maid. Master, how can you talk to me?" Just to interrupt." Hong Ye realized that she was anxious and had crossed the line for a moment, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Jiang Ruanxi's eyes turned cold when he saw Hongye being scolded.

"Mother, she is my personal maid, and it is human nature to think about me. Mother scolding a maid so excitedly is unbecoming of an elder."

When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. In front of her, the person who insulted her as before, really treated her as the soft persimmon she used to be, allowing them to be kneaded by the prince's mansion.

Hongye was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Ruanxi to defend herself and looked at her in disbelief.

Is this the same Jiang Ruan Xi who was obedient to the people in the Hou Mansion?
Why does it feel like a different person?

Zhou was stunned, she didn't expect Jiang Ruan Xi to say such a thing, and she was quite unhappy in her heart, but thinking of her own purpose, she could only try hard to suppress her dissatisfaction.

"I'm not anxious because of the Marquis's affairs. Let's not worry about the maid's affairs for now and talk about the money. I know that these shops are your dowry, but now you are married to the Marquis, and we are also the Marquis. As a member of the Marquis Mansion, your dowry is naturally the property of our Marquis Mansion.

And now that the Marquis is in trouble, which affects his future, as his wife, you can't just sit back and watch, right? "

Jiang Ruanxi sneered in his heart.

Now we know that she is Lin Ningkun's wife, but there is a wife who was left in the backyard by her husband for five years after they got married. He didn't even look at her when he came back, and he didn't care about her at all. Now when he has money , knowing that I am his wife, I will go to hell.

Think she is a fool!

Jiang Ruanxi remained silent.

Zhou was a little puzzled. In the past, as long as she said something nice, Jiang Ruan Xi would be very happy. As long as she wanted something, Jiang Ruan Xi would agree to her.

Why is it a little abnormal this time?

I talked for a long time and she didn't agree, and I felt a little unhappy.

But the thought that it might be because of her adoption of Lin Xiao made her feel unhappy. The displeasure in her heart diminished a little, and she adjusted her tone and continued.

"You were originally from a merchant family. If the Marquis is promoted, your status will also rise. Besides, you are only temporarily taking out your dowry. When the Marquis is promoted, you will have more options, and your money will naturally increase in the future. If it’s too much, we’ll give it back to you when the time comes, what do you think?”

If he hadn't been reborn, the former Jiang Ruan Xi might have foolishly believed Zhou's deception.

But after being reborn, Jiang Ruanxi left and saw the true face of the Hou Mansion.

Let's not talk about whether Lin Ningkun can be promoted. According to his arrogant and arrogant character, he was originally innocent, despised the secular world, and was not good at business. According to his current salary, he has no ability to repay it.

Even if he is promoted, he will feel that mentioning money is an insult to his integrity. He will only take his contribution as a matter of course and will not pay it back at all.

On the one hand, he hates evil and regards the smell of copper as dirt, but on the other hand, he acquiesces in spending his own money.

In the end, I still felt that everyone was forcing him.

Over the years, Jiang Ruan Xi really knew Lin Ningkun very well, and he was a complete hypocrite.
