Chapter 220

There was a little brilliance in Hong's eyes, "Of course I want to know."

The second lady held out her hand, "You know the situation at home best. I'm not afraid of shame. To tell you the truth, I only have debts but no money. Since you want to be in charge of the family and deal with the fourth wife, if you want me to help you , let’s supplement some money for the family first. How about 3 taels?”

"So much?!" Hong was astonished, "Where do I have so much money!"

"Then—" the second lady stood up slowly, "Forget it, since you are incompetent and unable to alleviate the situation in the family, it would be a waste of effort to ask you to preside over Zhongfu. Besides, you are not filial, let alone your husband's life or death. I know, this family I can't bear to drag you down, why don't you make a plan earlier?" Euphemistically speaking about letting Xi Peng divorce his wife, he said, "It's not a day or two for us to be ashamed. I'm not afraid of going to the government. I'm just worried about you, we can't tolerate you in this situation, how will you live in the future?"

Hong gritted her teeth, "2 taels. Please tell me in detail first, if it is a bunch of nonsense, I will not pay this money. If it is useful, I will find a way to subsidize the public." The mother-in-law Even asking for money regardless of face, she might as well say it clearly.

The second lady thought for a while, "Okay. Prepare the bank notes first." Then she knocked on the Hong family, "Don't bother trying to go to the East Mansion to inquire, you will be wasting your time, the fourth child and the eldest lady can use it now." People are very tight-lipped, and they are just pretending to be dumb to outsiders."

After Hong thought for a long time, she ordered the servant girl in a low voice, and sat down in front of the second lady.

The second lady smiled in satisfaction, but the previous suspicion in her heart became heavier.So far, it's just unbelievable.When the Hong family got married, they went to the East Mansion twice. What exactly did she do in the East Mansion?These must be checked out.No matter how tightly guarded the East Mansion is, there will always be one or two people who are open to money. She wants to use some of the Hong family's money to manage people.

It's too abnormal for Hong Shi to act like this. If she really has crooked ideas, don't blame her for being cruel and merciless as a mother-in-law!Even if she leaves her son alone for the rest of her life, she doesn't want someone with ulterior motives to stay by his side!
Xi Lang returned to the room very late.He is now in charge of the general affairs of the outer court, and the newly appointed housekeeper, who is in charge of major and minor matters, is afraid of making mistakes, so he has to ask for instructions from time to time.He knew that this was an inevitable situation in the early stage, so he had to listen patiently and make a decision.
