Chapter 43 I'm Rich



Jiang thought to herself that the matter of Ling'er and Xuan'er was being slowly investigated, so Hua Lingyang should just wait in there! Want me to save Hua Lingyang? Bah, forget it!

"This!" Liang frowned, her eyes full of displeasure.

"Then you can't just ignore it! The eldest master is the Duke's uncle, and you watched Yang'er grow up!"

Jiang lowered her head and wiped her eyes. She thought to herself, Hua Lingyang had indeed grown up under her watch. She really hadn't realized before that he was such a beast.

"Well, it's my duty to help ask!" Jiang winked at Caiyu beside her.

"Go and ask someone to go to the government office and see what the situation is now!"

Caiyu nodded and walked out.

Hua Lingcong, Hua Lingling and Wang Yujiao just came in.

Hua Lingcong is 20 years old this year. Like his father, he is not very tall, but he looks elegant and refined, like a modest gentleman. Because of the injury he suffered before, his face is still pale.

When Jiang saw him and thought about his experience, she felt relieved.

Hua Lingling is the youngest daughter of the Liang family. She is fourteen this year and looks like her father. She is not outstanding, but she has a noble air. She is like a well-educated and well-mannered lady.

Liang also focused on cultivating her talent. It can be said that she was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was considered a talented woman.

Jiang used to like this niece very much, but now, haha!

She turned and looked at Wang Yujiao.

Wang Yujiao was thirteen years old, with a slender figure. She was prettier than Hua Lingling, but she had a pointed chin and looked a bit mean.

I didn’t think so before, but now I see that she does look a bit like the old lady.

The three of them hurried over and paid their respects to the old lady, Jiang, and Liang.

Hua Lingling sat next to Jiang as she did before, put her arm around Jiang's arm affectionately, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of grievance.

"Second Aunt!"

Jiang pulled her arm back, hugged Hua Qingqing, kissed her and coaxed her for a few words before looking at Hua Lingling.

"Yeah, here we come!"

Hua Lingling clearly felt Jiang's alienation, and she didn't know why. She felt a little embarrassed.

Wang Yujiao walked up directly, sat next to the old lady, and held her arm. She was very well behaved.

"Father and my second brother, what happened?" Hua Lingcong couldn't help asking. "Why did I hear from the servants..."

His words were interrupted by Liang, who said with a sad face.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Your father and your second brother were framed! They are now locked up in the government office, and we don't know what's going on! Alas!"

[This guy is really good at talking! It was Hua Lingyang who killed the person, but he said that he was murdered by someone else! He is really good at turning the tables!] Hua Qingqing curled her lips.

Jiang felt the same way.

Hua Lingcong frowned, "Do you know who the other party is?"

Liang wiped her tears and said, "It should be the second master of Duke Xiao's family!"

Hua Lingcong pursed his lips. Duke Xiao's eldest daughter is the imperial concubine and has a son! Who dares to offend ordinary people?

"Okay, Cong'er, you're not well yet, sit down first! Sit down and we'll talk later."

The old lady felt very uncomfortable and frowned. She looked at Jiang again.

"Second brother's wife, your eldest brother and second nephew are both imprisoned in the government office. They must have suffered a lot! You take care of them! Make their life easier in there!"

This is to make her earn money by working hard! What a wish!

Jiang sneered in her heart, but agreed readily on the surface.

"You're right! It costs a lot of money to manage this government office from top to bottom!" Jiang paused, then continued to smile at the old lady.

"Then just give the money to Aunt Rong, she will take care of it!"

The old lady frowned and said unhappily.

"I am an old and lonely woman and I don't have much money! You two sisters-in-law, please take care of the cost!" As she said this, she asked the new Nanny Li to bring her tea.

Hua Qingqing curled her lips.

[Grandfather gave the old witch 300,000 taels, which was all his savings. It was considered as compensation! This old witch hid in her little Buddhist temple! She didn’t give the flowers to anyone!]

[Now that my son and grandson are in trouble! I am still so stingy! Do I plan to take this money with me into my grave? ]

Liang's eyes were a little evasive and she looked at Jiang awkwardly.

"Second brother, your elder brother is only a fifth-rank official, and his annual salary is pitifully small..."

When Jiang heard Qingqing's inner thoughts, her eyes lit up immediately! She interrupted Liang and looked at the old lady suspiciously.

"Hey, how could that be? How could the old lady be without money? My father gave the old lady 300,000 taels! But I've never seen you spend any of it!"

After saying that, she looked at Liang.

"Could it be that you gave them all to your sister-in-law?"

The old lady was startled and almost jumped up. She wondered how Jiang knew this!

Liang, Hua Lingcong, and Hua Lingling all looked at the old lady in disbelief.

"What, what money?" Liang asked in surprise.

"What is the second son's wife talking about?" The old lady smiled awkwardly. "That's impossible! There's no money!"

Jiang looked at them suspiciously.

"Father told us personally that year! We all know it! Even Xuan'er and Yi'er know it!"

After saying that, she looked at Liang and the others again, with a look of surprise on her face.

"Why, sister-in-law and the children don't know?"

Liang's face looked extremely ugly.

Hua Changxiao was a relatively filial son, and was afraid that if he treated the old lady badly, others would gossip about him, so he always used the public money to buy various things for the old lady.

In the West Mansion, the old lady provides the best food and daily necessities!

Sometimes, Liang had to pay her own dowry. When Liang got married, her dowry was only tens of thousands of taels.

But the old lady clearly had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but she never thought of spending it on them.

Hua Lingcong was thinking, when he was injured, the doctor said that he needed a precious herb as a medicine guide. But his grandmother said that the family was short of money, so she replaced it with an ordinary herb.

Liang looked at the old lady with an unpleasant expression. Hua Lingcong's eyes changed a little.

The old lady felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.

Jiang was in a very good mood when she saw the expressions of the few people. She continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Hey, old lady, it's not your daughter-in-law who is saying this to you! Eldest brother and Yang'er are both in this state! Don't you plan to use the money to save them?" Jiang sighed and continued.

"After all, my eldest brother is your biological son, and Yang'er is your biological grandson! Money is only a thing outside of one's body!"

The old lady was so angry that she pointed at Jiang and was about to die.

Jiang looked innocent.

"Brother and sister-in-law are your closest relatives, why do you have to be on guard against them! Alas!"

The old lady was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
