Chapter 65 The abacus beads are about to jump onto her face

Fang Qianxue didn't say anything and just listened to her chatter quietly.

"The Queen Mother has issued an order to grant the marriage, how dare our Lu family disobey?" Chen said earnestly, "But I am not happy about it in my heart, because you are the only daughter-in-law of our Lu family."

"It seems like last month... mother said that, didn't she?" Fang Qianxue found it funny.

When Xu first came last month, Chen held her in the palm of her hand. She was very happy when she heard that Lu Changqing wanted to marry her. It was only because Xu failed to become the saint of the country that Chen suddenly changed her mind.

This mother-in-law is very good at using an abacus, and the abacus beads are almost jumping onto her face.

"I was also deceived by Xu in the beginning," Chen said with a kind smile, and winked at Zhao Ma, "Qianxue, I think the management of the Lu family has to be returned to you. You know that I am not in good health, and I really can't take care of this big family."

It's not that she hasn't tried hard, and she has wanted to make a good living during this period, but there is no money in the account. The housekeeper has made Chen exhausted for more than half a month, and Lu Changqing is going to marry Xu Miaoyan soon, which means an expense of several thousand taels of silver. The salary of Lu Changqing and Xu Miaoyan is not enough to fill the gap.

After much thought, Chen decided that she really couldn't continue to manage this family, so she came to find Fang Qianxue.

"Second Madam, look at these account books..." Nanny Zhao was holding two account books and was about to put them down, but Fang Qianxue raised her hand to block them.

"Since I returned this account book to mother, I never thought of taking it back," Fang Qianxue said, "Mother, you might as well wait and give the account book to Xu after she comes in. Logically, she is the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, and she should be in charge of this family."

In the past five years, she has suffered losses but has never said a word against the Lu family, but she is not so cheap as to give her own dowry to Lu Changqing to marry him.

"You!" Chen didn't believe that she couldn't guess her difficulties. "You have been in charge of this family for five years, you should know how difficult it is!"

"So what?"

"As the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you split the accounts with the Lu family. If this matter is made public, it means that you are snobbish and look down on us!" Chen tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her long nails almost bent, "You are so unfilial, I... I will ask Chang Qing to divorce you!"

It's really like a toast, but she doesn't want to accept the punishment. Since she won't give me a way to live, there's no need for me to give her face!

"Please do as you please, mother." Fang Qianxue raised her long eyelashes and smiled calmly, "I'm tired, so I won't send you out."

"You vicious woman! Just wait to be driven to a nunnery and die from plague or poisonous insects!" Chen stood up and cursed, unable to hold back any longer.

She has always paid attention to maintaining her image and seldom quarrels with others, but today she was really angry.

The daughter of a guilty minister dares to do this, isn't it just a few filthy coins? Wait and see!

After seeing Chen off, Fang Qianxue drank two cups of tea before she suppressed the nausea in her heart.

"The old lady is too much," Cui Shuang pinched her shoulders sympathetically, "She never said a word about the subsidies you gave them over the years, and now she curses you for not helping them once."

"Haven't you heard it before? A little kindness, a big kindness, a lot of hatred." Fang Qianxue smiled bitterly, "People are just like that."

The maid sighed silently.

If the Fang family still stood firm, how could the old lady and Lu Wanrou dare to do that? Isn't it because they are just looking at the person they are dealing with?

"Cui Shuang, you have a fellow villager in Wenwanyuan, right?" Fang Qianxue suddenly asked.

"Yes, there is one. My fellow townsman is the maid in Miss Wanrou's room. We used to have a good relationship, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why do you ask this, Madam?" Cui Shuang replied.

"I have something for you to do. Come closer to me." Fang Qianxue raised the corner of her mouth, waited for Cui Shuang to lower her head, and whispered a few words in her ear, "Go!"

Cui Shuang was surprised: "Madam, are you telling the truth? How come I haven't heard of it?"

Xu was pregnant, but she actually hid it from the old lady and Lu Wanrou?

"Xu is an unmarried girl, so of course we can't spread this matter around." Fang Qianxue looked at her and smiled, "Since she won't say anything, let's help her spread the word."

"I understand!" Cui Shuang understood instantly.

In the entire Lu family, Miss Wanrou has the loudest mouth. She loves to chatter all the time. If she knows something, it will spread all over the capital city in less than half a month.

"Take some gifts for your fellow countryman." Fang Qianxue took out a bag of tea from the drawer.

"Yes!" Cuishuang took the tea leaves and went to Wenwanyuan.

The silkworm ceremony will be held three days later.

Xu Miaoyan was dressed up today, wearing the official uniform of a female official in charge of silkworms, and standing beside the queen to serve her.

Everyone's eyes were on her.

In the crowd, Chen was very proud. The female official who was in charge of the silkworms would soon be the eldest daughter-in-law of their Lu family! It would be a great honor to tell others about it!
