Chapter 706

~7 min read 1,252 words

Everyone was blushing, watching with flustered hearts.

Then they could not help but throw themselves into it.

By Jia Hui's side, happiness was always for everyone.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun also kept her mother, Wang Lady!

"Me?"

Wang Lady looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Yuan Chun smiled and said softly, "You have already fallen out with Father to this extent; how could I bear to see you spend the rest of your life alone and depressed?"

"You and my husband are in love; since that is the case, I, as a daughter, should support you."

"Like Mother You and her daughters, that is actually not bad."

"This is my filial piety to my mother! Fulfilling my filial duty to my mother!"

During this time, she had thought it through.

Because of Mother You and the others, many ideas had been opened up for Yuan Chun.

Added to the loneliness and solitude she had experienced in the deep palace, it made her understand some truths more profoundly.

So she did not want her mother to follow her old path, staying alone in the Buddha hall for the rest of her life.

It would be better to match her with her husband.

This way, her mother would gain happiness.

And her husband would also be happy.

"So, this is not just filial piety, but also the wifely duty of a concubine."

For her mother, and for her man, Jia Hui.

She, Jia Yuan Chun, was willing to give everything and do anything!

Yuan Chun thought this in a crazed manner.

After the shock, Wang Lady hugged her daughter, moved beyond words.

"Good daughter! You are so good! Mother did not raise you in vain, unlike that heartless and ungrateful wolf, Jia Baoyu!"

"In the past, I failed you, having eyes only for Jia Baoyu and ignoring your feelings. I am sorry; from now on, Mother will never do that again."

The excited Wang Lady spoke to Yuan Chun with great emotion.

Seeing this, Keqing and the other women also praised Yuan Chun: "Truly a filial daughter, a good wife and concubine who knows her duty!"

Fengjie joked, "Good heavens, then should you call each other mother and daughter, or sisters in the future?"

"Mother and daughter when in front of outsiders."

"Sisters when in private!"

Mother You said with a smile.

"That's right, the few of us mothers and daughters are like this now." The beautiful You Sanjie blinked her eyes and said with a smile.

"Then who is the elder sister, who is the younger sister?"

The eighteenth concubine, Gao Hui, widened her beautiful eyes.

"Of course, Wang Lady is the elder sister, and Yuan Chun is the younger sister."

The twenty-first concubine, Sheng Molan, said excitedly.

"No, no, Xichun is the younger sister, she entered the door first; according to the rules, Yuan Chun must call her elder sister."

"And Concubine Shaoshang is also Cheng Yang's cousin, but she stepped through the door first, so she is the elder sister, while Concubine Cheng Yang is the younger sister!"

With a delicate snort, the twentieth concubine, Sheng Rulan, who loved to argue with Molan, glared at her and said.

The twenty-fifth concubine, Cheng Shaoshang, agreed deeply: "That's right, so Wang Lady should call Yuan Chun elder sister and refer to herself as the younger sister."

"Ah, the relationships are so messy."

Minglan felt dizzy after hearing this.

Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in Minglan's heart.

She thought of her mother, Wei Shuyi, who was gentle by nature and had a warm, natural temperament in the Sheng family.

"Mother was bullied in the Sheng family, and Father did not love her at all, ignoring her. Although she was spared the bullying of Lin Qinshuang, there was still Wang Danniangzi; who knows how she will be bullied in the future."

"Instead of living miserably in the Sheng family, if Mother were also like Mother You and Wang Lady, would it be..." Once this thought appeared, Minglan, with her baby face and chubby cheeks, was startled by herself. "I, how could I have such a thought."

Flustered in her heart, Minglan tried to shake off this thought.

However.

Once this kind of thought appeared, it was bound to be like a seed.

Sooner or later, it would take root and sprout.

And while Minglan was lost in her wild thoughts.

Yuan Chun had actually taken the initiative to hold Wang Lady's hand and joined the chaotic battle!

Minglan, who had come back to her senses, felt her heart race.

She wanted to escape.

But her feet felt as if they had taken root.

Her feet and her will seemed to have different ideas.

While the Wushuang Marquis Mansion was lively and happy.

The scene shifted to the Jia family's Rongguo Prefecture.

"Quick, give me the money."

Jia She's courtyard.

At this moment, Jia She was demanding money from the beautiful Xing Lady.

Xing Lady's beautiful and bright face was filled with sorrow and grievance.

Time had been gentle to her, not leaving too many traces on her brows and eyes.

Her beautiful and moving charm overflowed silently.

But Jia She was a man who loved the new and loathed the old, showing her no kindness.

He only greedily coveted her money.

Xing Lady refused, denying: "Master, where would there be money? You also know that our Rongguo Prefecture's expenses exceed our income; we are so poor we can barely put food on the table. We have been selling antiques, calligraphy, and paintings everywhere, and many valuable things in the house have almost been sold off."

Jia She sneered: "You are still playing dumb with me; the money from the manor, hasn't it all been sent?"

Like Jia Hui.

Time had come to the beginning of the first month.

The money from the Rongguo Prefecture's manor had also been sent.

In Xing Lady's view, the bitter days were finally coming to an end.

Jia She did not know at all.

How difficult things had been for her over the past month.

How hard it was to be the wife of the head steward.

It could be said that Xing Lady had not gained any benefits, and had even filled in quite a bit of her own money.

She had also been receiving grievances from all sides.

Unexpectedly, Jia She was still coveting this bit of silver.

Xing Lady said with some annoyance and grievance, "Master, this money is the mansion's money and cannot be touched. If it is moved, the mansion won't be able to hold out until the money from the south arrives. The end of the year is approaching, and there are gifts to be given and money needed everywhere, and the purchase of New Year goods, etc., so the expenses are increasing."

"And I have already put a batch of money into usury."

The money from the manor looked like a lot.

In reality, it was not enough to spend.

There was no other way.

Xing Lady had no choice but to follow the same old path as Fengjie.

Through usury.

To earn some money to make up for the huge deficit.

However, Jia She did not listen at all.

Extremely dissatisfied, "Moving a little money, I don't want it all. Stop the nonsense."

Seeing that he was about to use force if she didn't give it, Xing Lady felt aggrieved and helpless, and in fear, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hand over one hundred taels of silver!
