Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 198 The Way Out (2)
When Su Wan heard this, she was silent for a while, then lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, Master Hou said that he will pick me up after Aunt Wang gives birth."

"What? So long?" Chen Yaqin frowned, and said, "In this case, you will have to stay outside for more than half a year. How can this be? When you go back, the day lily may be cold."

Su Wan nodded indifferently and said: "It's what Mrs. Tai meant, and I think Lord Hou also meant the same thing. He's afraid that I'll attack his concubine again."

Chen Yaqin sighed softly, and said: "This Marquis Chang Wu is really confused in this respect. He doesn't believe in a pure-minded person like my sister, but believes in those aunts with sinister thoughts. I really don't know what to say. If not He is your husband, and I will not persuade you to return to the Hou Mansion. In my opinion, he is not worthy of you. But, as the saying goes, marry a chicken as a chicken, and a dog as a dog. It is impossible for such a powerful family to remarry, if you don't go back, you will be the only one who suffers."

"I understand what my sister said." Su Wan said, she just didn't want to do this.

"Since Marquis Changwu doesn't trust you, why is he still treating you..." At this point, Chen Yanqin raised her eyebrows, "Who does he think my sister is? In this case, my sister should be tougher and shouldn't follow him." .If he got his sister so easily, what difference does it make if he takes you back home or not? At that time, your wife will use all kinds of excuses to prevent him from taking you back, and he will probably think it doesn't matter. At that time, sister Isn't the situation embarrassing?"

From the main room to the outside room, although this kind of example is rare, it is not uncommon. If it works well, it can be done without anyone noticing it, and no one can say that it is wrong.

In Su Wan's heart, she was grateful to Chen Yaqin for thinking about herself and worrying about herself, but she still said dumbfoundedly: "Didn't my sister persuade me to please Chang Wuhou and grab his heart? Why are you saying these things now? Isn't it just me?" contradictory?"

Chen Yaqin glared at her, and said: "This is not contradictory at all. I want you to hook his heart and hold his appetite, but I don't give it to him, so that he can ask for what you want. In this way, he will naturally fall in love with you." Heart. Men are cheap bones, the harder it is to get, the more he likes it. It is not rare to get it easily."

Naturally, Su Wan didn't intend to commit herself to Marquis Changwu, but she didn't want to play hard to get, but she still appreciated Chen Yaqin's heartfelt concern, so she nodded in resignation.

Chen Yaqin looked better now, and said, "Good girl, don't be so stupid in the future." Even if she said this, she knew that sometimes, even if a woman wanted to refuse such a thing, she might not be able to easily Can refuse.With a sigh in my heart, I didn't talk about it anymore.

"By the way, sister, I'm here this time to give you the profit from the health food shop last month."

After Chen Yaqin finished speaking, she took out a bank note from her sleeve, and said to Su Wan with a smile, "Because it's the first month, all kinds of expenses are huge, and the net profit is only 1000 taels after excluding miscellaneous things. This is your 500 taels. Now the business of the food shop has stabilized, and it will gradually become regular in the future, and the monthly income will be more than it is now."

Su Wan didn't take it over, instead she refused, "Sister, the cost of opening a store is so high, you paid for all the money, and now it's only been in operation for a month, maybe it hasn't paid back yet, how can I ask for it now?" The money?"

"Oh, sister, you can take it at ease! I'm not someone who loses money in business." Chen Yaqin smiled and stuffed the bank note into Su Wan's hand, explaining: "Publicity is public, private is private, I can distinguish clearly .Moreover, the food shop we opened, whether it is people or shops, is ready-made, which greatly saves the cost. I didn't add much money to it at all. It was just a little money spent on decoration. The lower net profit. Now the supply of herbal food in our restaurant is in short supply! I just don’t know when the reservation will be scheduled, maybe in two months, the branch will be able to open.”

Hearing what she said, Su Wan had no choice but to accept it.

It's just that she feels a little hot in her heart, because she feels that she just wrote some medicinal recipes, and she didn't spend any effort and money at all, and she just sits and enjoys the benefits, which is really a bit embarrassing.However, at this moment, she really needed some silver, so she accepted it cheekily.I just made up my mind that I won't give up the dividends from Shifang when it becomes more relaxed in the future, or when Baiyao's profits arrive.If Chen Yaqin refuses to agree, then reduce some of the share, so that she can feel at ease.

Chen Yaqin's observations were not bad, and she saw that Su Wan was uncomfortable collecting money, so she said, "Sister, don't feel embarrassed, this is what you deserve. Without your prescription, our health food shop would not be open." Can't get up, can't you? If you really feel guilty in your heart, then come up with some more prescriptions, and that will be enough."

Su Wan nodded in agreement.

Speaking of medicinal recipes, Chen Yaqin suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister, I remembered something. I was going to tell you, but I almost forgot just now."

"What's the matter?" Su Wan asked Lu Fu to put away the bank notes, and asked curiously.

Chen Yaqin thought about it, and said solemnly: "Sister, this matter may also be a chance for you to turn around."

Su Wan's expression finally became serious, but she didn't speak, she only focused on listening to Chen Yaqin.

"Sister, didn't you see a doctor for our old lady before? You also left a long-lost imperial prescription. Our wife has taken it for so long. Although it has been less than half a year, the symptoms have indeed improved a lot. Therefore, our Madam Tai decided that after a while, after the Emperor and the Empress Dowager return from the palace, our Madam Tai will go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager in person, and recommend my sister to the Empress Dowager.” Chen Yaqin paused for a while, Looking at Su Wan, she asked, "How does my sister feel?"

In fact, before Chen Yaqin opened her mouth, Su Wan had a premonition, and she kept this matter in her heart all the time. Back then, she bothered to treat Mrs. Dingyuan Hou Tai's illness, in addition to destroying her friendship with Sister Qin, It also has this purpose.

Now, if she really waited until this time, she was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Su Wan didn't speak, Chen Yaqin thought she couldn't turn the corner, and explained to her: "For my sister, this is a great opportunity to turn around. As long as my sister can improve the condition of the queen mother, my sister will die in front of the queen mother." Knowing her name, the empress dowager must look at her younger sister highly. At that time, with the empress dowager as her backer, it is expected that the Marquis of Changwu would not dare to take action against her sister easily, and do the disgusting thing of degrading his wife into a concubine. They Even if they want to do this, they probably won't be able to hide it from the sky. No matter how uncomfortable they feel, they can only obediently take their sister back to the Hou Mansion to make a sacrifice."
