Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 048: Taking away your wealth from your previous life

Chapter 048: Taking away your wealth from your previous life

Capital city.

Imperial College, Donglin Street.

A shop that had just been renovated, with countless shop assistants coming in and out carrying things.

Wen Ruyue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked out with a look of disgust on her face: "You all better be careful. If you fall or get hurt, I can't afford the compensation even if I sell you."

Only when they reached the street did Wen Ruyue dare to take off her handkerchief and breathe in the fresh air.

At this time, a maid came running over with a bundle in her arms.

She breathlessly reported to Wen Ruyue, "Madam, the things are here."

As she spoke, she opened the bundle.

It's filled with books.

Wen Ruyue took out a book and flipped through it hastily.

She soon smiled with satisfaction.

The story content and illustrations are exactly the same as in the previous life.

She looked back at the newly renovated shop with a determined smile on her face: "Wen Yan, Wen Yan, I will gladly accept the wealth from your previous life."

She also wants to thank Wen Yan from her previous life.

It was her hard work that gave her one idea after another to get rich.

She doesn't even need to use her brain, just copy and paste, and she can become a wealthy businesswoman who is as rich as a country.

Even being the Queen Merchant is not a bad idea!

**

Songshan Village.

Ying family.

After Meng Xiyan left.

When Wen Yan and Meng Chifei finished discussing things, the sun was already setting.

Meng Chifei stretched his body and stretched his arms and legs: "Yanyan, take me around the village."

"Great! My back and waist are sore from sitting so hard." Wen Yan also stretched.

The two walked out hand in hand.

I saw Hui Niang and her daughter processing the meat sent by Meng Chifei and others.

"Hui Niang, what are we going to eat tonight?" Meng Chifei was very greedy.

"To answer Miss Meng, my uncle asked me to marinate the mutton, saying we'll have roasted mutton tonight."

"Ying Zhilin's instructions?" Wen Yan asked, "Where are the others?"

"He left an hour ago, but he didn't say where he was going. He looked angry, though."

"Angry? Who offended him?" Wen Yan muttered, not caring at all, planning to ask again in the evening.

She led Meng Chifei out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the gate, she saw the old bull-headed man raising his hand, about to knock on the door.

His elderly wife and eldest son and his wife were also there.

"Uncle Lao Niu, why are you here?"

"Mrs. Scholar, we are here to apologize." The old bull head apologized carefully, "It was my poor management that allowed the younger generation to spread those rumors, which almost led to a big mistake. I brought them here specially to apologize."

Auntie Lao Niu immediately handed over a basket full of eggs: "Mrs. Scholar, this is a little gift from us. I hope you don't mind it."

Everyone in the village is poor.

It's not easy to get enough eggs in one basket.

It can be seen that they put their heart into it.

The old ox-headed man waved to his eldest son and his wife, "Come over here and apologize to the scholar's wife."

The eldest son of the Niu family hurried forward and said sincerely, "Mrs. Xiucai, I am truly sorry. It is my fault for not managing my wife well and causing you so much trouble. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive us this time."

The eldest daughter-in-law blushed and murmured, "I'm sorry."

"Was anyone talking just now? Why did I only hear the buzzing of a mosquito?" Meng Chifei scratched his ears and looked at them with disgust, his apology lacking sincerity.

If I hadn't come today.

Who knows how those rumors will spread.

Once the rumor spreads to other villages, even if clarification is made, it will not die down and may even become more and more outrageous.

Wen Yan's reputation can no longer be restored.

Now we just ask her to apologize and have no plans to report to the police.

She still looked reluctant.

How could Meng Chifei not be angry.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family bit her lip, her eyes red with grievance, and she said loudly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that without understanding the whole story."

Meng Chifei snorted coldly.

Wen Yan said to Old Niutou gently, "I trust Uncle Niu's character. For your sake, I will not pursue this matter. Just don't let it happen again. As for you..." Wen Yan looked at the eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family, "Some things can't be covered up with an apology. I was lucky this time. Meng Chifei helped me explain, so everyone was willing to believe it. If it were an ordinary girl, she would be unable to defend herself under the rumors. Rumors can melt gold, and I'm afraid she can only prove her innocence by dying."

Wen Yan pushed the basket of eggs back and said, "No need for the eggs. Uncle Lao Niu, you can take them home and eat them yourself."

"Let's go." Wen Yan took Meng Chifei's hand and left.

After the two of them walked away, Meng Chifei asked, "Why are you so tolerant of their family?"

Wen Yan is someone who doesn't actively stir up trouble, but she's also not afraid of it. If someone really provokes her, she won't suffer in silence and will definitely return the favor double.

"Uncle Lao Niu is a good person. There's no need to be angry with him just because of his daughter-in-law."

"Hey Yanyan, look, isn't that Ying Zhilin? Why is he hoeing the fields?" Meng Chifei suddenly patted Wen Yan and pointed at the fields not far away.

Wen Yan looked in the direction she pointed and saw Ying Zhilin wearing a short brown suit and swinging a hoe in the field, with a book tucked behind his waist.

After finishing hoeing a row of land, he stopped, took out the book tucked behind his waist, flipped through two pages, and then continued hoeing the land.

Wen Yan remembered that this was the vegetable plot he bought a few days ago.

Meng Chifei: "Is he reading? Or is he hoeing the fields?"

"Who knows? He might be able to do two things at once." Wen Yan pulled Meng Chifei forward, "Let's go to the end of the village to see the mountain spring. The water there is so sweet."

The two walked towards the end of the village.

Old Niutou and his family also walked back in silence.

The old bull head looked very unhappy.

Wen Yan will not hold it against herself about what happened today.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law, it’s best not to provoke Wen Yan in the future!

The eldest daughter-in-law complained unconvincedly, "Is this family sick? Ying Zhilin came to my house and insisted that I apologize. Fine, I listened to him and apologized. But what happened? She said she wouldn't forgive me. Isn't it just because she married a scholar? Why is she so arrogant? Are both husband and wife sick?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Niu family became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She mistook the stone on the ground for the Wen Yan couple and kicked it far away.

"Isn't it just making a powerful friend? Isn't it just using power to bully others? She Wen Yan grew up in the countryside, how could she have the confidence she has now?"

"What are you talking about with your stinky mouth!" Niu Changzi pulled her and hurried away.

Wen Yan took Meng Chifei around the village.

Meng Chifei rubbed his stomach and cried out in hunger: "Then let's go home too!"

At this time, dusk was falling, smoke from cooking was curling up, and the aroma of meat wafted from every household.

The same is true for the Wen family.

Before Wen Yan and the others reached home, they smelled an alluring aroma coming from the yard.

"It smells so good!" Meng Chifei sniffed.

Push open the gate.

A bonfire had been set up in the yard, and the roasted mutton was filling the air with fragrance.
