Chapter 190: No Food
"Drag her out," Qu Ling ignored her, "If you come near me again, I'll kick her out of the house."
Wang was so angry that she vomited blood.
After returning to the second house, she thought about it and decided that she could only wait for Qu Ling to get married before writing to Hedong.
The Dingxiang Marquis Mansion concerns the honor and disgrace of the entire Hedong Qu family, and it is not up to her, a married woman, to decide.
By the time she married into the Marquis of Jingwei's mansion, the affection between the couple had worn out, and there would always be a day when she would cry.
Wang drank a large cup of tea to cool down her anger.
Qu Ling did not return to the princess's mansion.
She was counting the property of the Marquis's Mansion.
When the noise reached the ears of Wang and his wife, they ran out in a hurry.
This time, he couldn't even get out of the second room.
"The princess said, if you dare to run around again, I will send you back to Hedong immediately."
The couple stared at each other.
He cursed and swore, but didn't dare to force his way in.
Wang took out some small change and gave it to the servant of the second house, asking her to find out some news.
Qu Ling first asked someone to carry all the betrothal gifts sent by the Marquis of Jingwei's Mansion to the Princess's Mansion.
Then he counted out Song's dowry.
"Princess, this number is wrong." Nanny Li held the account book.
"Some of Madam Song's dowry was used to make up for the losses of the Marquis' Mansion."
Qu Ling took the account book and looked at it, mockingly saying, "This is just claiming that he didn't rely on the Song family and relied entirely on himself to get to the Marquisate today."
She asked, "How much property does the Marquis' Mansion have?"
Nanny Li took out another booklet and reported the quantity.
"Sell them all," Qu Ling said. "First, make up for Song's dowry, then leave some to dismiss the servants who are willing to leave, and give the rest to the Tzu Chi Institute."
"Although these industries don't have much potential, they are numerous and I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell them at once." Nanny Li was worried.
Qu Ling smiled and said, "Go find Wang Linghe. She's re-establishing the You's Company and that's what she needs."
Also take this opportunity to make Youshi famous so that business will be easier in the future.
Nanny Li went to do it.
When the news reached Wang's ears, the sky fell.
"She has no right to sell off the Marquis's property without permission!"
They are all sold out, what else does Qu Yao have?
After Wang fainted, she regained consciousness.
"Hurry up and write a letter to Hedong, go quickly." Wang grabbed her husband's clothes, and her eyes were getting darker.
If the Marquis' Mansion is just an empty shell, what's the point?
It would be better to go back to Hedong than to have the title of marquis and still have to eat coarse food.
"She has such a cruel mind." Wang was horrified.
How could a teenage girl act so cruelly and ruthlessly, leaving no chance for survival?
Qu Lan wanted to cry but had no tears. "Madam, we can't even leave the mansion, how can we pass on the news?"
He somewhat regretted coming to the capital.
Life in Hedong is so comfortable.
His father is the clan leader, and everyone who sees him gives him some respect.
The clan has sacrificial fields and silver offerings. Even if he is a nobody, he can live a stable life relying solely on the blessings of his ancestors.
"I told you at the beginning not to think about it and to let my second brother and his family come to the capital, but you refused to listen."
He began to blame Wang.
Wang used all her strength to scratch his face. "If you had any potential, would I have to go to such great lengths to fight the Second House?"
She scratched a bloody mark on Qu Lan's face.
"When you married me, didn't you already know what I was like?" Qu Lan covered her face. "You despised me for being useless, so why did you want to steal your sister's marriage?"
He also felt wronged.
It wasn't him who begged Wang to marry him.
What's wrong with being a failure?
Isn’t it good to have enough food and drink for the rest of your life?
Wang punched the cotton and a sweet and fishy taste rose in her throat. "Get out! Get out!"
She was exhausted after the commotion and asked someone to bring her some water to wash her face.
Just as I lay down to rest, I heard the maid say, "The girl is crying and wants to go out."
Wang was furious. "She's going out to commit suicide. Let her go naked."
The maid told Qu Lianmeng the original words.
Qu Lianmeng threw herself on the bed and cried, "If I had known this would happen, I would have not come. I can't leave the house even if I came."
The maid curled her lips and closed the door, letting her cry.
By the evening, things started to go wrong.
No one brought dinner.
Qu Lianmeng was angry and refused to eat, but Wang was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
"What are the people in the kitchen doing? They're being so lazy."
Wang was furious and sent her maid to check.
When the old woman came back, she had a bitter face and said, "The princess has ordered that from now on, if the madam and her family want to eat, they have to pay for it themselves. The marquis's mansion will not provide food or drink."
"What did you say?" Wang thought she had misheard.
Qu Lan was so hungry that his head was swollen. "Don't talk too much for now. Take out the silver and eat first."
Wang scolded him, "Where do we have extra money?"
Before, when the account office of the Marquis' Mansion was able to pay out money, she bribed the Fifth Old Master with all her private money.
These days, she still wanted to withdraw money, but the accountant said that the Marquis's Mansion was checking the accounts and no money could be withdrawn unless the princess gave special approval.
"What should I do then?" Qu Lan just wanted to eat.
Wang wanted to slap this useless husband to death, "I'll starve you to death in peace."
This is of course just a rant.
Helpless, she could only take out a pair of earrings and said, "Go, bring dinner over first."
The old woman left again.
Soon, dinner was served.
A plate of vegetables, a bowl of egg drop soup, half a fried chicken, that's all.
"Why is it just this little?" Wang felt chest tightness.
The old woman was helpless, "The kitchen staff said that the lady's earrings are only worth this much."
Before Wang could continue speaking, Qu Lan had already started eating.
But she couldn't eat it.
This is not a solution.
The next day, there was still no money or food to eat.
This time Qu Lianmeng also discovered it.
"Mother, the princess is too unpresentable. Who wouldn't give her food?"
Wang was listless.
She counted on her fingers the day when Qu Ling would get married.
Qu Lianmeng continued talking.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Wang was very tired and just wanted her to shut up.
Qu Lianmeng shouted, "Go find my brother. He is the master of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't the servants listen to what he says?"
Wang also wanted to, but she couldn't get out at all.
When she came from Hedong, she brought with her a maid and a servant girl.
The Marquis’ Mansion is full of Qu Ling’s lackeys.
"Go tell the princess that we are willing to return to Hedong."
Wang thought this was Qu Ling's way of forcing them to leave.
She gritted her teeth and decided not to suffer a loss in front of her.
Wait until she brings more people from Hedong, then I’ll settle the matter with Qu Ling.
"The princess said that she gave Madam a chance, but she was useless. She wants to regret it, but she can't."
Wang was struck by lightning.
What does this mean!
She can't leave?
Did Qu Ling want to starve them to death in the Marquis' Mansion?
