【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 234 Grandmother Jia 36

Two days later, when Jia Zhu had a nosebleed again, Hanshui made a fuss about it. Yunxi took the opportunity to let Jia Zhu live in the empty Qixiazhai, and then called Jia Zheng to scold him.

"Who knows what your second son will be like in the future? Zhu'er is the most promising child in your family, and you don't even have the time to care for him. The Wang family's daughter has never been educated, and neither have you? Do you understand the principle that everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme? Is there any father like you?"

"And you, Wang, are you a doctor? You're so capable! If you're so capable, why don't you go out and set up a stall to treat illnesses? The whole world calls you a miracle doctor, and you've ruined a good child like this? The child has been training martial arts with Jiao Da since she was young, and there's a palace doctor in the mansion. Why do you, an outsider, need to worry about her? If anything happens to Zhu'er, you two can just carry that son who won't let go of Yanzhi after the week-long celebration and go there. Get out of the Rongguo Mansion!"

"My son is wrong! I'm sorry to Zhu'er!"

Jia Zheng burst into tears, and Wang fell to the ground crying bitterly.

"Mother, let me see Zhu'er. I won't mess around again."

Yun Xi was too lazy to read and said to Jia Zheng, "Kick out those stupid aides of yours. They're living off the Rongguo Mansion for free and not doing any real work! Second brother, if you dare to pretend to be cultured again, I'll burn your study down!"

"And Wang! I told you they'd demoted their nobility and lowered the rules on servants, and that's how they reduced the number of servants in their household. You idiot! First you placed them on your farm, and now you're bringing them home. You're the wife of a fifth-rank official, but you're even more arrogant than that baron's wife, Zhang. Who gave you the confidence? Ah? That impoverished Wang family who can't see the situation?"

Yun Xi had been dissatisfied with Jia Zheng's useless appearance and Wang's hypocritical behavior for a long time. She gave each of them two heavy punishments with the ruler and drove them away. Don't even think about seeing Jia Zhu before the provincial examination.

If she wasn't afraid of pissing people off to death, she would have cursed even more harshly!

Jia Shaochun looked at the situation in the mansion and went to find Aunt Li. He sent the servants away and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, was it you who did that to Brother Zhu?"

Aunt Li picked up the dust from the incense burner and said dissatisfiedly, "Who did this? How are your studies lately? Are you good at learning etiquette? You have to be serious. You are the first daughter of the eldest wife and the role model for your younger brothers and sisters."

"Auntie, I know it's you! You must have added something to Brother Zhu's tonic soup. My maternal grandfather was a traveling doctor, and you followed his example." Shaochun refused to give in and pressed the matter. "Auntie, aren't you afraid of being discovered by Grandmother?"

"What did you discover? I did what was in line with the old lady and the first lady, so who would care about me?" Aunt Li's eyes were red. "I blame you for not giving you a brother or sister. I can only do more for the first lady. Forget it, why say all this? The first lady is kind and generous, and treats us very well. What's wrong with me doing something for her?"

Jia Shaochun frowned. "Aunt, don't worry about me. I heard that the dowry mother prepared for little Yingchun and me is worth 80,000 taels of silver. That's quite good. Think about it, how could Aunt Jia Xian and the other two have that much? 10,000 taels of silver, a shop, and two farms, so at most 30,000 taels of silver."

Aunt Li's eyes flickered. "It's only 80,000 taels. Do you know how much dowry your aunt had at that time? It was worth at least 300,000 taels of silver. After all, she was a concubine's daughter. Alas! Aunt Li will save more for you."

"That's different. My aunt was the most beloved person in the world back then. She had a father who was a Duke. My father was only an Earl. His salary wasn't even enough to give gifts to His Majesty the Emperor. If it weren't for Mother's good housekeeping, we might have to rely on our savings. Don't think too much. I'm very content." Jia Shaochun pouted. "Don't do such dangerous things in the future. If you're discovered, you'll be the scapegoat."

Aunt Li curled her lips and looked at her daughter's back as she left. "Son, what do you know? The first lady and the second lady have a blood feud."

She still remembered that not long after Li Meir entered the mansion, she was dazzled by the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion. She strolled in the backyard in the middle of winter. Even though the scenery was withered, she still enjoyed it and fantasized about her future life.

It was at that time that she saw a strange woman carrying a sack on her back, and she was pulling one sack after another and throwing them into the lake. She, who knew a little about swimming and medicine, went into the water and fished the sacks out after the others left. Based on her understanding of medicine, if someone fell into the lake in winter and soaked in the water for so long, even if he didn't die, he would be sick for a few years. Even she had to soak in a medicinal bath for a long time before she recovered. However, after the old lady met the eldest lady and Young Master Hu, who were unconscious and had a high fever, the eldest lady and Young Master Hu recovered quickly without any root cause of the disease.

Later, she saw a familiar face beside the second lady, who looked very much like the woman who harmed the first lady and Young Master Hu that day. For Shaochun, she naturally told the first lady, and only then did she know the truth.

Zhou Rui's...

So how could the first and second wives be in harmony again? The first lady didn't take any action. She should have been waiting for the opportunity to kill them with one blow. As Dao, I am also the savior of the first lady and the second wife. Even if I am discovered, the first lady will protect me.

How could it be so simple? If this incident hadn't happened, how could the eldest lady be so kind to Shaochun, who had a concubine? She was kind to Yingchun because her concubine had died and she was well-behaved.

……

"Was it done by the eldest wife? Did it have any effect on Jia Zhu's health?"

He Hua shook her head. "There's no major problem. The First Madam might just be trying to annoy the Second Madam."

"Well, don't tell anyone about this, Lanhua, give Hehua ten taels of silver."

"Yes."

After He Hua left, Yun Xi's face was calm. "Zhang is reminding me that next time it might not be an insignificant medicine."

System: "Why don't you deal with Zhou Rui's family first?"

"Zhou Rui's family was transferred to the Wang family a long time ago. We don't know where they are now. System, do you know where they are?" Yun Xi asked.

"Let me check." The system quickly reported, "Dead, the whole family is dead. Only Zhou Rui's daughter is still alive. She has been serving Wang."

Yun Xi snorted softly, "As expected, why would Wang keep this handle, Lanhua~"

Lanhua walked in, "Madam, this servant is here."

"Come here!" Yun Xi whispered in Lanhua's ear, and Lanhua widened her eyes.

"Go do it." Yun Xi patted her shoulder gently.

Lanhua nodded seriously, retreated from Rongqing Hall, thought for a moment, and walked towards Rendong's room.

"Honeysuckle, you're not on duty today."

"Aunt Lan, please come in. I'm on vacation today and I'm cleaning the house." Honeysuckle greeted Lanhua warmly.

Lanhua looked at the triple room of Honeysuckle and envied her. "Why do you have to do all this yourself? Just let the maids clean it."

"Don't say that. I'm also a maid. How can I ask a maid to serve me? Aunt Lan drinks tea, and the lady gave me the Rain-Previous Longjing tea."
