Chapter 326 She Almost Took Her Son’s Life
Mrs. Lu acted decisively this time. Perhaps she was really frightened by Yuan Wanru and was afraid that Yuan Wanru would not receive the money, so she would not care and do whatever she wanted.
Soon, Madam Cao delivered 20,000 taels of silver to Wangchun Hall.
Looking at the thick stack of brand new banknotes, Yuan Wanru seemed to be able to smell the unique scent of ink from the money shop.
Yuan Wanru had a faint smile on her lips: "Madame Cao, please go back and tell the old lady that I always keep my word. I will not cause any trouble after receiving the silver. Please rest assured."
Madam Cao twitched her lips and said, "That's better."
After the others left, Yuan Wanru gently stroked the raised lines on the banknotes with her fingertips and casually pulled out a stack. She didn't count them, but judging from the thickness, there were about five thousand taels.
She handed them to Wang Min generously and said, "Mom, keep these."
Wang Min was holding a teacup, and when she saw this, she waved her hand, and the lid of the teacup hit the edge of the cup, making a crisp sound: "No, mother has no shortage of money."
Yuan Wanru refused and stuffed the banknote into Wang Min's sleeve, with a sly look in her eyes: "I don't lack money either."
"You don't know, the private money I have saved these days is probably more than my husband's."
She came closer and lowered her voice, "Do you think it's too little? If not, I will give all the old lady's banknotes to mother."
Wang Min shook her head: "Nonsense, mother doesn't want your things."
Yuan Wanru frowned aggrievedly: "This is a token of Wanru's heart. If mother insists on not giving it to me, I'm afraid I won't have an appetite for food, and I won't be able to sleep well at night."
These words made Wang Min and Lu Jiangnian burst out laughing.
Lu Jiangnian took the banknote from Yuan Wanru and stuffed it into Wang Min's hand: "Mom, my wife has been busy and tired recently. She doesn't eat enough and doesn't sleep well. She is going to lose weight again. You should accept it."
Wang Min finally compromised and put the banknotes safely into his sleeve pocket.
She felt warm in her heart, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes smoothed out.
Seeing this, Yuan Wanru said happily: "Just spend it with confidence, mother. I will definitely give you more banknotes in the future."
Wang Min looked at her smiling face and felt happy: "Okay, Mom will be waiting."
She couldn't help but think of the last time Lu Wei came home, she always complained that she was partial to Yuan Wanru.
But Lu Wei didn't think about why she loved Yuan Wanru so much.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Wanru has always been filial, so of course she loves Wanru.
"You are more generous than Jiang Nian. He has never given me so many banknotes, and neither has your father."
The banknotes Lu Song gave her were not given to her individually. Managing such a large family must cost money, right?
Lu Jiangnian was eating dried fruits on the side. He paused when he heard this. He clearly did nothing, but his mother pulled him out for comparison.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Mom, didn't my son give all his pocket money to you to take care of?"
Then he turned to Yuan Wanru, his eyes full of doting: "I gave the keys to my private vault to you, my lady. Now I am the one who wants pocket money."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of dried apricot and handed it to Yuan Wanru: "My wife, try it. If you think it tastes good, give me some pocket money."
Yuan Wanru was amused by him.
She generously took the dried apricots from his hand and put them in her mouth. They tasted really good.
While eating, she took out a purse embroidered with lotus flowers from her sleeve and waved it in front of Lu Jiangnian: "Here, this is your pocket money."
Lu Jiangnian pretended to be excited and held the purse, and sighed to Wang Min: "It's not easy, mother, my son is very poor now."
Yuan Wanru raised her head and laughed, "Do you regret it? Do you want me to take back the key to your private vault?"
"I dare not." Lu Jiangnian waved his hands repeatedly, "I will never take back the things that your husband gave to you. I will definitely earn more in the future so that you can have more private money."
The young couple were joking around and showing affection to each other, which made Wang Min very happy. All her recent depressed mood disappeared.
The setting sun outside the window stretched the shadows of the three people very long, interweaving on the ground to form a warm picture.
Before we knew it, it was evening.
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru naturally stayed in Wangchun Hall for dinner.
The atmosphere among the three of them was just right. They didn't care about not talking while eating or sleeping, and they just chatted casually.
The small kitchen of Wangchun Hall specially made Yuan Wanru’s favorite braised pork.
Wang Min personally picked up a piece of fat and lean meat and put it in her bowl: "I know you like to eat this. Now that the weather is getting hotter, I specifically asked you to use less soy sauce and make it lighter. Come and try it. Is it to your taste?"
Seeing this, Lu Jiangnian picked up the bowl and served Wang Min mushroom chicken soup: "Mom, eat more too. Grandma has been making a lot of noise these days, I'm afraid you haven't eaten well."
Speaking of the old lady, Wang Min naturally thought of Lu Wei.
She smiled bitterly and told them about Lu Wei's complaints during this period.
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru looked at each other.
"Mom, let's eat first. Whatever you have, we'll talk after you're full."
Lu Jiangnian didn't want to mention Lu Wei as it would affect his appetite.
If she hadn't been selfish and acted recklessly, how could Liang Yusong have found the opportunity to put a curse on him?
Wang Min didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words, but Yuan Wanru reacted immediately.
It seems that Lu Jiangnian is preparing to tell Wang Min about his being poisoned.
It's time to let Wang Min know some things. She can't be confused and kept in the dark.
The Liang family and they are already mortal enemies. As the mistress of the family, Wang Min must be vigilant at all times.
After the meal, the maids cleared away the dishes and served freshly brewed fragrant tea.
Lu Jiangnian waved his hand to dismiss the servants, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Lu Jiangnian said seriously: "Mom, although you didn't say it explicitly, I guess you must have thought in your heart that I was too harsh on Lu Wei."
Wang Min's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup created tiny ripples.
She did not deny it, which proved that Lu Jiangnian's words hit the nail on the head for her.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Wang Min sighed and reached out to hold Yuan Wanru's hand: "Don't think too much. Lu Wei was wrong about that matter and she can't deny it."
"No matter what you think or do, I won't blame you."
Wang Min turned to look at Lu Jiangnian: "She is my child after all. If you do this, you will destroy her entire life."
"Of course, I know that if she had succeeded, she would have ruined your life."
"So, even though I thought you were going too far, I never tried to dissuade you."
"After all, you are the person involved. No one can make the decision for you. You can only spare her life because she is your blood relative."
Wang Min is not completely ignorant of her son.
The husband also said that his son is a determined person, stronger than him, and once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
Similarly, Jiang Nian is also a heavy-hearted person, and his methods are decisive. Anyone who offends him will definitely have a hard time.
Did she ever blame her son?
Probably a little.
But she also felt sorry for him.
It was because Wang Min saw it too clearly that he fell seriously ill after Lu Wei left the capital.
One is her son and the other is her daughter. No matter what she does, she can't have the best of both worlds.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lu Wei's mistake has already been made, and you've let out your anger."
"Since you are all here, I will make it clear that you don't have to worry about her affairs from now on."
"But I will not allow the Liu family to torture her."
Yuan Wanru didn't say anything. Lu Jiangnian snorted coldly, "She has made more than just that one mistake."
His eyes turned cold, "Do you know that because of her momentary confusion, she almost cost her son's life?"
"What?"
Wang Min became so excited that she accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. The porcelain fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered all over the floor, and the tea splashed on the hem of her skirt and sleeves.
Yuan Wanru held her down and said, "Mom, don't move. Be careful not to prick your feet."
Lu Jiangnian also hurriedly shouted: "My wife, don't move either. Both of you, don't move."
He bent down, took the handkerchief handed over by Yuan Wanru, wrapped up the broken porcelain pieces, and just put them aside, Wang Min rushed over and grabbed his wrist: "Jiang Nian, what do you mean by this?"
