Chapter 209 Backlash

How could Zhu Yingyan, who was ready to make a big move, accept this?

After the grain and straw incident, Zhu Yingyan didn't want to do anything under the banner of Zhu Dingxing anymore.

Because the price to pay was too high.

If all her things were done through her mother's dowry,

she believed that her mother would not argue with her for every penny or even every penny, and would leave it all to her.

Zhu Yingyan had a lot of little calculations in her mind, so she really couldn't tolerate Li Ma'am.

She had no other way to get rid of Li Ma'am, so she could only take this opportunity to give Li Ma'am a heavy blow.

When Nanny Li was greatly stimulated, it didn't matter if Nanny Li didn't leave her mother's side,

as long as Nanny Li didn't have the energy to take care of her mother's dowry.

Her purpose was only this.

What made Zhu Yingyan overjoyed was that when she was still hesitating whether Nanny Li's husband was only in jail and whether

this was enough to deal a heavy blow to Nanny Li, the news that he died in jail reached Zhu Yingyan's ears at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, Zhu Yingyan was so happy that her mouth was about to be crooked.

Every time Zhu Yingyan encountered obstacles in her work, and recently she was hit hard by the falling grain prices,

Zhu Yingyan began to wonder whether God let her live again

to fulfill her or to torture her.

At this moment, Zhu Yingyan came to the conclusion: God really loves her!

If not, why did Nanny Li's husband die just after being in prison for less than a day?

Now, she doesn't have to worry anymore.

The fact that her husband died in prison was definitely a big enough blow to Nanny Li, enough to make her devastated.

If it wasn't inappropriate and she was afraid of gossip,

Zhu Yingyan wanted to give everyone in her yard an extra month's salary so that everyone could be happy together.

Just as Zhu Yingyan guessed, the moment she heard the news, Nanny Li fell to the ground unconscious.

After the doctor came, he gave Li Ma'am a lot of injections, saying that Li Ma'am had been greatly shocked and

had to be well taken care of. Otherwise, at Li Ma'am's age, it was hard to say how many years she would live, whether she would be able to move around or be paralyzed in bed.

Hearing how serious the condition was, Madam Sun was frightened:

"Doctor, no matter how good or expensive the medicine is, just prescribe it as long as it can help Li Ma'am's illness."

Perhaps after hearing Madam Sun's words, Li Ma'am opened her eyes and woke up:

"Madam..."

"Madam Li!"

Madam Sun held Madam Li's hand tightly,

"Madam Li, you have to take care of yourself."

"Don't forget, you still have a son and a grandson now, they all need you." You

can't just ignore your son and grandson because your husband is dead, right?

Li Ma'am burst into tears:

"Madam, my son's grandfather died unjustly."

Although she felt that it was unjust, Li Ma'am had no place to seek justice, so she felt even more miserable. In

Madam Sun comforted Li Ma'am:

"Don't cry, didn't you say that you would serve me for the rest of your life?"

"How can you serve me for the rest of your life if you are like this?"

"You have to listen to the doctor, don't be sad, take medicine well, think more about your son and grandson, and you have to live on."

"In the past, you always advised me like this, now you should also advise yourself."

Li Ma'am said nothing, but her tears finally stopped.

Death is like a lamp, no matter how unwilling she is, she can't live again.

But she remembered what happened today.

"Madame Li hasn't left the Zhu Mansion yet?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Xuntao was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Was this plot master joking with her?

Sometimes it was straight, and sometimes it was crooked.

If she stared at the plot rigidly, she would probably collapse.

Madame Li's husband was dead, and according to the plot, he was in death row,

but Madame Li didn't leave? !

What was going on?

"No."

Xiao Miluo cared more about whether Madame Li left than Zhu Xuntao.

Who made Zhu Xuntao's inner voice explain to Xiao Miluo that Madame Li's departure was to allow Zhu Yingyan to perform better.

How could Xiao Miluo tolerate this?

Now knowing that Nanny Li would not leave, Zhu Yingyan would not be able to smoothly take over Madam Sun's dowry

. Xiao Miluo happily drank an extra bowl of porridge in the morning.

Zhu Xuntao shook her head and thought, okay, the plot master can play however he wants, she is just a mortal and cannot control it:

"Miluo, have you heard about the grain price today?"

Compared with the situation in Zhu Mansion, Zhu Xuntao is more concerned about the grain price after the snow stops.

Yes, the heavy snow that lasted for seven days finally stopped.

But people's mood did not stay happy for long because the snow stopped. The sun that refused to show up made everyone depressed.

After the snow stops, the temperature will be lower until all the ice and snow melt.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and

the spring ploughing season is approaching in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, in the near future, the spring ploughing of the people is the top priority.

"Sister-in-law, the grain price has returned to 1.5 times."

When Xiao Miluo mentioned the grain price, the emotion in her tone rose a little.

"Sister-in-law, the grain price has returned to 1.5 times, and it may return to normal prices anytime soon."

"Do you think Zhu Yingyan will be angry to death when she sees this?"

Zhu Xuntao tapped her finger on the table:

"Maybe, not only will she not be angry to death, but she will be happy to death."

"Miluo, find your second brother quickly."

She had arranged other places, but she almost neglected the capital.

I hope it's not too late.

"Alas."

Hearing that Zhu Xuntao needed Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Miluo immediately called him to Zhu Xuntao.

"What does my sister-in-law want to talk to me about?"

Seeing Xiao Jingyu, Zhu Xuntao just felt strange:

"What are you busy with recently?"

In such weather, Xiao Jingyu often goes out. The daily food price is brought back by Xiao Jingyu. Has the wife-staring maniac changed his temper?

"Sister-in-law wants me, so of course I am free."

Xiao Jingyu avoided the question.

Before the matter was fully understood, he didn't want to let the women in the mansion know, so as not to scare them.

"If sister-in-law has anything to say, just tell me."

His affairs could not be figured out in one or two days, and he must not delay his sister-in-law's affairs.

"Okay."

Zhu Xuntao did not refuse and told Xiao Jingyu about his affairs.

As it was related to people's livelihood, Xiao Jingyu did not dare to delay, and hurriedly rode a fast horse to find the prince, not even caring about the slippery road.

Fortunately, the men in the Yongjing Marquis's mansion were not weaklings, and their leg skills were very good.

When Xiao Jingyu got the order from the prince and rushed back to the rice and grain shops,

he saw the shop assistants moving new rice out.
