Chang Meifeng stood up reluctantly, took out the three hundred taels of silver notes the old lady had just given her from her sleeve pocket, walked up to Mrs. Chang Li, forced it into Mrs. Chang Li's hand, and said: " Mom, that’s it, save some flowers.”
Mrs. Chang Li unfolded the banknotes in her hand and saw three neat ones, each with a face value of 100 taels. She suddenly blurted out: "How can such a small amount be enough? The family also has a lot of servants." , this little money is not even enough for wages, except for food."
The old lady snorted coldly: "The Chang family is not a well-established and powerful family. We didn't have any servants in the past, so we can live as usual? Three hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for several years, but it's not enough for you?" "
"If you don't think it's enough, why don't you use your skills to make money? A big family has been waiting for help from others all day long. If the Zhuo Mansion disappeared that day, wouldn't you all have to live?"
Seeing the old lady getting angry, Mrs. Chang Li immediately lowered her voice: "Then you can say that, how could the Zhuo Mansion, which was so good, just disappear? This is impossible."
The old lady was too lazy to talk to her so much and said angrily: "Whether you want these three hundred taels or you think it's too little, it's just this one time. Remember, don't come to Zhuo Mansion for money matters in the future." At this point, the old lady didn't want to say anything more, so she got up and left the hall.
When Mrs. Chang Li saw the old lady leaving, she pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Chang Meifeng sighed and said, "Mom, you'd better go. My mother-in-law told the truth. Now that Zhuo Mansion has encountered something, it will never be the same again."
Chang Li's face changed slightly, and she guessed: "The son-in-law's official position is not guaranteed? Has he been demoted?"
Chang Meifeng rolled her eyes at her angrily and said, "Can you be nice to me? Your son-in-law has done a good job in his official career. If you say anything about being demoted, let him hear it carefully, and you will inevitably lose your temper."
Mrs. Chang Li stuttered and said dissatisfiedly: "Then tell me what happened. I'm so worried."
In the end, Chang Meifeng failed to withstand Chang Li's insistence and turned a deaf ear to the old lady's advice. She was stunned and told Chang Li about Zhuo Qinya's return home.
"What? Zhuo Qinya is not dead? Didn't you say she was already dead?" Chang Li was startled.
Chang Meifeng sighed again: "I never knew that such a day would come. The killer clearly said that he killed her with his own hands and dumped her body in the Wolf Valley. It can be said that there are no bones left, but who knew -"
Mrs. Chang Li curled her lips: "Look at you, you are so worthless. She will come back as soon as she comes back. She is just a yellow-haired girl. You, the wife of the prime minister, are you still afraid of her?"
"Mom, you don't know that before she came back, she gave me a warning and forced me to hand over her mother's dowry. As you know, mother, her mother's dowry was very generous. Although she has spent a lot over the years, there is still a lot left. She spent the cash and other things, and she couldn’t say anything. But the shop, land, property, and village are all real estate. The master asked me to give you a lot of them. If you hand it over, you have to return the two shops that were given to you before, and you have to find the ones that were sold to others. You really can’t miss any of them!"
At this point, Mrs. Chang Li probably knew why the old lady refused to be as generous as before.
"This girl has a big appetite. She wants such a big dowry if she wants it?"
Chang Meifeng snorted: "Whoever says it's not the case won't be afraid of supporting her to death."
