The corners of her lips suddenly curled up and she smiled, but her eyes were shrouded in frost, without a trace of smile.
Both old ladies were stunned. What happened?
Xie Wanyun said slowly, "Since we are inseparable, then Wanyun also has something to say."
The two couldn't help but nodded.
"I know the two ladies own several farms and shops, and the Marquis also has a salary. How about handing them all over to me? You all know I'm quite good at business. I don't think you'll lose money if you hand these things over to me. How about a 50-50 split of the profits? But then again, I've heard those farms and shops aren't doing too well, so don't blame me if you lose money."
Old Madam Qin's expression turned very ugly.
It was true that she had a few farms, but they were her life savings and she would never give them up. Moreover, the farms depended on the weather, and in the past two years, there had been either drought or floods, and she couldn't even collect the rent, so how could there be any income?
Wei also had a few shops, but unfortunately they were not in good locations and she didn't know how to do business, so she handed them over to a relative. However, the relative was only concerned with making profits for himself and kept complaining about losses and asking her to give him money to make up for it.
But at least there was something there, at least the land was worth some money. If she handed it over to Xie Wanyun, she would tamper with it and she would probably lose everything.
As for Qin Su'an's salary, don't even count on it. Although the salary is not low, his expenses are even greater. He needs to be ostentatious, socialize, hire staff, and maintain servants.
Liu Yun'er also spends money like water. I heard she's been spending money either on furs or gold these days, treating her money like it's nothing.
Wei was furious when she thought about it. What a sin she had committed. What kind of people did her son marry?
Xie Wanyun looked at the two old ladies' ever-changing expressions with a relaxed look.
He only knows how to covet and calculate what others have, and he speaks righteously and logically, but once he has to pay even a little bit, he will avoid it as much as possible.
This calculation is a bit too precise.
They only go in and never go out. These are two old Pixiu.
She stood up easily and said, "The two ladies, please discuss this slowly. I'll go back to my room first."
After saying this, he left the yard without even looking at their reactions.
Old Lady Qin looked at her leisurely back and angrily threw the Buddhist beads in her hand, and the beads bounced and rolled all over the floor.
Wei's whole body felt limp, and she leaned back in her chair, gasping for breath.
Xie Wanyun was also not at ease. Many things were different from her previous life. She couldn't understand Yan Suizhi, and she didn't know how the situation would develop.
She still lives in a fog, surrounded by wolves.
And Jin Bai, whenever she thought of this child, her heart felt a little sour.
So, the next morning, Xie Wanyun came to the Imperial City Office again. When Zhang Mingzhen saw her, he looked ashamed and shook his head.
Xie Wanyun gave a bitter smile. The more times he was disappointed, the more numb his heart became, and he no longer felt the pain.
Zhang Mingzhen looked hesitant, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
"Master Zhang, please speak frankly. I can handle this." Xie Wanyun said this, but her heart was trembling. Could it be that the child was lost? Or was it bad news?
Seeing her pale face, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly understood what she was thinking and quickly said, "Madam, don't worry. There is no news about the child yet. What I want to tell you is not about the child. But..."
Xie Wanyun let out a long sigh. No news now was also good news.
But Zhang Mingzhen has always been straightforward, why is hesitant now?
Then he asked, "What is it? Tell me."
Zhang Mingzhen said angrily, "I told you, Madam, please stay calm and don't get excited. This matter is of great importance. I don't have sufficient evidence right now, so I can't guarantee anything. But as the only survivor of the Xie family, Madam, you have the right to know what happened back then."
Xie Wanyun's face turned pale.
She vaguely guessed that the truth Zhang Mingzhen told should be related to the incident in which the Xie family died for their country.
