Chapter 470 Does the Cui family treat people as fools?

"Yuer, you must have your reasons for donating so much money. Qingfeng Temple is a good place. It's just right. Pray to God to give you a good marriage." Su Su was shocked for only a moment, and then she did not blame her at all. She even praised her for doing a good job.

This time, it was Xiao Jiuyue's turn to be stunned, "Mom, don't you think I'm too generous? I'm spending money recklessly?" To put it nicely, it was just incense money, to put it bluntly, it was like throwing water into the water.

"You earn so much money and don't spend it, why keep it?" Su Su glanced at her and said, "As long as you feel happy, that's fine. Besides, the rewards from the palace last time were quite a lot, and the Xiao family's former assets have been returned. I took a look and found that these assets are more than enough to cover the expenses of the mansion."

"Not to mention that you moved Fengchunlou, Ruyuge and Zhiyunfang to Shengjing. The money earned by these three shops is a huge source of income." Su Su is in charge of the Xiao family and knows all the account books of the Xiao family clearly. In addition to the silver sent by Fengchunlou on a daily basis, Ruyuge has just started and Zhiyunfang is making a lot of money.

Especially the new brocades produced by merchants have set off a craze for buying brocades in Shengjing. Just from this item, the Xiao family has no shortage of money.

"Mom, you're so kind." Xiao Jiuyue took her hand and said, "I went to see Sister Cui. She's really miserable. The Cui family tried their best to kick Cui Yao out and arrange a marriage with our Xiao family."

Sisters Cui Yu and Cui Yin play the good cop and the bad cop, respectively. Do the Cui family members really treat others as fools?

"Yuer, what about Cui Yao's face?" Su Su asked worriedly. Su Su would be happy if such a sentimental and righteous woman like Cui Yao could be with Jia Ling.

But Jialing will be the Marquis of Cheng'en in the future. If the future marquis' wife is unattractive, it will only bring shame to the Xiao family.

"Mother, don't worry. Master has already told me that Cui Yao's face was poisoned by the green-waisted insect. Although the poison is a bit severe, it can be cured." Xiao Jiuyue comforted her, saying, "Hua Qing also said that their Hua tribe has a kind of rejuvenating ointment. No matter how big the scar is, there is no need to worry. Just apply it and it will be back to normal."

When Xiao Jiuyue first heard about this Rejuvenating Cream, she was also shocked. Isn't this a scar removal cream? If it is really as magical as Hua Qing said, then once it is made, won't everyone go crazy buying it?

Therefore, Xiao Jiuyue asked Hua Qing to make the facial cream recently. She had just found all the necessary materials and there would probably be some progress in the next few days.

"That's good." Su Su had no doubts and completely trusted Xiao Jiuyue's words. She sighed and said, "Cui Yao is a poor child, but also a good child. Yue'er, if this marriage really goes through, the Cui family..."

Su Su felt irritated with the Cui family and said, "Mrs. Cui is obviously Cui Yao's biological mother, so why is she so biased?"

When discussing the marriage, Su Su had witnessed Mrs. Cui's favoritism. If Xiao Jialing had not directly mentioned that he wanted to marry Cui Yao, Mrs. Cui might have wanted to marry her daughter off instead.

The matter of breaking off the engagement was completely different from the flattery Mrs. Cui showed during the engagement. People who were high and mighty and didn't know the truth thought that the Cui family was some kind of royal family!

"Mom, there's a secret behind this." Xiao Jiuyue shrugged and said, "Cui Yu and Cui Yao were twins. Cui Yu gave birth smoothly, but Cui Yao was born with a difficult labor, which made Madam Cui unable to give birth again. That's why Madam Cui doesn't like Cui Yao."

"It wasn't Cui Yao who caused her difficult labor?" Su Su's mouth twitched speechlessly. Thinking that Cui Yao had been treated differently since she was a child, she felt even more distressed.

"Mrs. Cui couldn't have a son, and later sent the maid to Mr. Cui's room, killing the mother and keeping the son. If Mrs. Cui didn't take her anger out on Cui Yao, she wouldn't take it out on herself, right?"

Xiao Jiuyue could guess what Mrs. Cui was thinking with just her toes. Wasn't she just looking for a scapegoat?

Su Su sighed, and her eyes became red again when she thought of Cui Yao's pitiful life experience.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jiuyue quickly changed the subject and said, "Mother, you still have to take care of the affairs of the mansion. Let Second Aunt and Third Aunt handle the affairs of Zhiyunfang. Otherwise, you will be too tired!"

"Mother, we have too much money at home. We might as well buy some farmland and real estate." Xiao Jiuyue reminded her, "Good farmland and real estate are not easy to buy. It will take a lot of effort on your part."

Once Su Su gets busy, she will no longer feel sad about the passing of time.

"Okay, don't worry, I will give you more dowry." Su Su said, and she felt that time was running out. Many of the children in the mansion were of marriageable age.

She also has to prepare dowry, betrothal gifts and the like!

Xiao Jiuyue looked at Su Su who left in a hurry and couldn't help but sigh. His mother's empathy was too strong.

"Donggui, has that person woken up?" Xiao Jiuyue asked. That was a seriously injured person who was picked up and was related to the Eighteen Villages. When she looked at the iron mine before, she always felt that the Eighteen Villages were unusual.

Although many officials were executed because of the iron ore incident, would they dare to embezzle the iron ore? It would be better to hand it over to the court, and who knows, they might even get rich and receive rewards from their superiors. Therefore, there must be someone behind this.

The injured people brought back this time must be related to the Eighteen Villages.

"He's awake, but he won't say anything when asked. If his body wasn't too weak to withstand the Truth Pill, we would have used it directly." Dong Gui also knew the importance of this person. She carefully protected him along the way, stuffing all kinds of good medicinal herbs into his mouth, for fear that he would die.

"Since he's awake, just take good care of him. There's no need to rush." ​​Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved to know that he was still alive. She was worried that he would die of epilepsy along the way.

"Miss, where are you going?" Dong Gui asked when she saw Xiao Jiuyue get up and walk out.

"I'm going to see Master. I'll go change Cui Yao's medicine tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue had barely finished speaking when Lianxin arrived with a midnight snack. "Miss, go tomorrow morning. It's getting dark, and I think Doctor Wang has had quite a bit to drink."

Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyes. It was already dark outside. The mansion was full of joy and happiness today. The master liked to drink a little wine, so he must have been drunk. Xiao Jiuyue gave up the idea, ate some midnight snack, and started writing the book!

If the Shang family troupe wants to gain a foothold in Shengjing, it must have a steady supply of new scripts, especially if it wants to perform in the palace, she must be prepared in advance!

As the night deepened, Lian Xin yawned as she ground ink, while Xiao Jiuyue held a pen in his hand and wrote quickly.

"Done." Xiao Jiuyue blew on the paper in her hand. The writing brush was so inconvenient that it had to be left to air out. When she looked up at the papers filling the room, she was stunned: "Did I write all this?"

Lianxin was tidying up the dried papers in the house.
