In her past life, she defied her father and brothers and exhausted all her efforts to support that scum of a man to the throne, only to have him slaughter her entire family in return.
Reborn ...
Shen Wan sighed, "My maternal grandfather, uncles, and cousins are all good at making money. How could they not attract unwanted attention?"
As if all her energy had suddenly vanished, Madam Yun said dejectedly, "I told you long ago that too much money can be a source of trouble, but your maternal grandfather and his family are not interested in anything else but making money."
"If we can't hold onto this money, who knows who will end up making it?"
Shen Wan didn't know what to say. Her grandmother knew in her heart, but knowing wasn't enough. In her previous life, her cousin's wife wouldn't let her cousin do business and wanted him to take the imperial examinations. She pushed her cousin to that extent, but she couldn't stop him. What could she do if he just liked making money?
Thinking of her cousin's marriage, Shen Wan took the opportunity to say, "Prince Ling also reminded me to avoid going to Huguo Temple before my cousin's wedding. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid those people are trying to take advantage of my cousin."
Yun Mo said angrily, "Those people weren't satisfied with scheming against me, they even wanted to scheme against my older brother?!"
Shen Wan said, "Scheming against you will only get you a small dowry, but scheming against my eldest cousin will cost you the entire Yun family."
Madam Yun's face turned pale.
Everyone looked grim, but Shen Wan felt much more relaxed. She had made herself so clear that the Yun family would definitely be more cautious in the future.
Thinking of the Xu family...
Something flashed in Shen Wan's eyes. She said to Old Madam Yun, "After all, the Xu family is the residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites and is currently favored by the Emperor. If the Yun family directly refuses the marriage, people will say that the Yun family is arrogant and that the young master Xu's talent is just an act. He can't keep up the act for long. At most, the Yun family can delay for ten or fifteen days, and the Xu family will naturally back down."
Giving up when faced with difficulties?
That would be too good for the Xu family.
Shen Wan wanted the Xu family to be disgraced and kicked out of the capital.
Shen Wan is concerned about the Yun family's reputation, so Old Madam Yun will not refuse.
Madam Yun nodded. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a maid's voice came from inside, "Madam, the eldest young master has returned from Mianzhou."
