The butler smiled apologetically and waited by the side with his back hunched.
Xie Wanyun finally finished looking through the account book, closed it, and said, "Today's purchases of these items cost several thousand taels of silver."
Butler Liu quickly responded, "These are all orders from the master. I'm just running errands."
Xie Wanyun snorted coldly, "Return everything. I don't recognize this debt."
Upon hearing this, Butler Liu could only retreat in a meek manner. After all, whoever pays has the final say!
It seems that things are going to change in Yuanxing Marquis Mansion!
Xie Wanyun called Yuzhui over and said, "Go to the kitchen and get the residue from the medicine you boiled for me, and show it to the doctor outside."
Yuzhu's face was solemn, and he immediately turned around to get it.
In the blink of an eye, the residue was disposed of.
Yuzhui worked efficiently and returned in less than an hour. As Abbot Buwen said, these drugs are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive. Long-term use will cause people to become confused and eventually insane.
Xie Wanyun clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
When it was time for dinner, Old Lady Qin sent someone to invite her to her room for dinner.
Xie Wanyun knew that there would be a confrontation today.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw her nominal mother-in-law, Wei, there, glaring at her angrily.
Madam Qin, on the other hand, appeared nonchalant. Seeing that she had come alone, she asked, "Why did you come alone? Where's Brother Quan?"
"I made you kneel down because of my punishment." Xie Wanyun said lightly.
Wei was so angry that she slammed the teacup in her hand!
He pointed at her and cursed, "You vicious woman! How could you have the heart to hit such a young child? Your hand is swollen! Even if you are jealous of his mother, you shouldn't take your anger out on the child!"
Xie Wanyun chuckled, but his eyes were cold as ice.
"My wife has already said that I'm a vicious woman, so how can I not bring myself to do it? I'm punishing him today for his own good, and more importantly, for the good of the Yuanxing Marquisate. He's so young, yet he's already disrespectful to his elders. If I don't punish him now, do I have to wait until he grows up and kills his father and the king before punishing him?"
Wei was choked and speechless. Her fingers trembled as she accused her, and her lips shook, but she couldn't utter a word.
Old Madam Qin’s face turned ashen.
Xie Wanyun watched the two men suffer defeat calmly.
In her previous life, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law colluded with each other to humiliate and torture her.
In this life, she will no longer show mercy to them.
Old Madam Qin's expression gradually softened, and she pretended to be indifferent and said, "Alright, alright! Stop talking. Children should be strictly disciplined. Wanyun did the right thing. We usually dote on Quan Ge'er a little too much."
While ordering the servants, "Let's eat!"
Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Wei had no choice but to give up.
Xie Wanyun coldly watched the servants bring in the banquet, shredded chicken and white fungus, fresh fish with osmanthus, shrimp with Longjing tea, eight-treasure duck, steamed scallops...
It’s comparable to imperial cuisine!
Fish and shrimp, in particular, were shipped from the coast via the Grand Canal to Beijing, and they were very expensive. Even the annual living expenses of an ordinary family were not enough to cover a single meal for them.
She really knows how to enjoy herself! All this was spent with her money.
Even the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion in the past did not have such a grand ceremony.
Madam Qin picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus fish and put it into her mouth. She frowned and said, "Why does this fish smell fishy today?"
The maidservant beside her quickly replied, "Old lady, the road to Beijing was recently damaged by rain, so the fish might have been delayed on the way to Beijing, but it was alive when it was put into the pot!"
Madam Qin angrily said, "How dare you give me something like this to eat?! You've been doing this job for a long time, and yet you're so unreliable?"
The maid turned pale and apologized repeatedly.
Wei also started to complain that the scallops were not fresh and the shrimps were too old.
Xie Wanyun just watched coldly without saying a word.
It wasn't until the dessert arrived that he said coldly, "Wait a minute."
