After much deliberation, the two, unable to save face, sent someone to inquire. Xie Wanyun always calmly dismissed the person, saying, "Business is never that easy." He asked the two ladies to relax and say, "Once the accounts are settled at the end of the month, I'll naturally give them the dividends they deserve." He also deliberately hinted that the amount was substantial and would definitely satisfy the two ladies.
The man went back and exaggerated what he said, and the two old ladies were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They each calculated how much silver they could get.
Madam Qin said excitedly, "Mingyue only takes a commission, and she gets so much money. We put in the capital, so shouldn't it be more?"
Wei quickly said that Mingyue was also very hard-working. If it weren't for Mingyue, Xie Wanyun wouldn't be so willing to manage the business for them, and so on. In short, she praised her good niece to the fullest.
Madam Qin was in a good mood and didn't argue with her. She was just thinking about how to spend the money after she got it. She had been deducted from her expenses recently. Although it was not impossible to pay for it herself, it was still painful. Now she could finally buy some supplements, such as bird's nest and ginseng, to nourish her body.
Wei was thinking about buying some furs. Even Liu Yuner was wearing new furs, but her mother-in-law was wearing old-fashioned furs, which was really not decent enough.
Doesn't Xie Wanyun's Yunjianfang produce the most fashionable styles and the finest furs? She'd go pick out a few pieces. Since she's her mother-in-law, she could at least get a discount. Even her handkerchief friend, Madam Li, had gotten such a fine mink coat just by sitting down and chatting at her request! She was so envious.
That day, Qin Su'an brought Liu Yun'er to the mansion again. The two old ladies couldn't help showing off in front of them, and their words and actions showed their disdain for Liu Yun'er.
In the past, he had treated Liu Yun'er with kindness because she was pregnant, but now the child was gone. Not only was the child gone, but the child's origin was illegitimate. A concubine who wasn't even listed in the family tree dared to use such a despicable method to frame the wife. It was obvious that Liu Yun'er was harboring evil intentions and was not a good person.
So now the two old ladies are too lazy to pay attention to her, and they are even more dissatisfied with Qin Su'an for not abandoning her and keeping her by his side.
Qin Su'an naturally knew this, but he was no longer the same as before. No one liked him in the officialdom, his salary was reduced, he had no money to find a woman, and even the lovers in the brothels avoided him.
Xie Wanyun never even looked at him straight in the eye.
He must have a woman to take care of him, right? Apart from leaving Liu Yun'er behind, he had no other choice!
Wei remembered what Xie Wanyun meant in his words that day, that she wanted to reconcile with Qin Su'an, so she found an excuse to get Liu Yun'er away and told Qin Su'an this.
Qin Su'an, for once, was lucid, shaking his head like a rattle. After a series of setbacks, he finally had self-awareness. Even when he was handsome, Xie Wanyun looked down on him. Now that he's a cripple, she's attracted to him? Don't be ridiculous.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I know Xie Wanyun's personality best. She was lying to you, so why did you take it seriously?"
"No way, that's what she meant that day, right, old lady?" Wei turned to Madam Qin for confirmation.
Madam Qin thought about it carefully and said, "It's true that Xie Wanyun meant this that day, but she didn't say it explicitly. We are just guessing. What if we got it wrong?"
As Old Madam Qin was speaking, she suddenly thought of something. A chill ran down her spine to her head, and her brain froze.
Seeing her expression suddenly change, Wei and Qin Su'an were a little panicked and quickly shouted, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"
Old Madam Qin gradually recovered her breath and said slowly, "The dividend that Xie Wanyun promised to give us has long passed. Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
"Mingyue said that she has been very busy lately..." Wei's expression also changed, and she felt a burst of panic and shortness of breath.
"Busy, busy as hell!" Old Madam Qin's face turned pale and she cursed.
She was proud of her noble status and felt that she had good manners. Although she had done many bad things, she never swore. Now that she was angry, she no longer cared about maintaining her composure.
