Chapter 247: Ying Zhilin starts seducing his wife
"Mom, we are going to get rich!" The youngest daughter of the Jiang family threw herself into her second aunt's arms with excitement.
"You silly girl, there's a lot of work waiting for you to do, where have you been playing?" Second aunt poked her forehead.
My second uncle asked curiously, "What do you mean by getting rich? Tell me quickly."
The youngest daughter of the Jiang family then told the story of the lady who cleansed her face.
She raised a finger and said excitedly: "Mom, I want to be a face-washing lady.
With a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver, one could not only make a new set of clothes every month, but also buy a lot of pearl jewelry.
Wen Yan also said that the guests they received were all the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials in the capital. As long as I could make friends with one or two of them, or be favored by a noble lady and be married as a daughter-in-law, our family would be prosperous.
Mom, please tell Ying Zhilin that I want to be a facial cleaner too.
I must go.”
The youngest daughter of the Jiang family was throwing a tantrum and had to go.
The second aunt was quite clear-headed: "Wen Yan comes from a wealthy and powerful family. She can't even marry one of those noblemen, so what can you marry?"
I tell you, give up those unrealistic ideas of yours."
The Jiang family's youngest daughter pouted and said, "Even if I can't be your wife, being a concubine is fine. Then, if I give birth to a child in the future, I won't have to farm anymore..."
"No! Is it that easy to be a concubine of a wealthy family?
Have you forgotten the daughter of the landlord in our village?
Just to become a concubine for the county magistrate's brother-in-law, and you ended up like that, don't you want to live anymore?"
The youngest daughter of the Jiang family couldn't help but recall that the arrogant and domineering landlord's daughter was sent back, bleeding all the way and no longer in human form.
She shuddered with fear.
She immediately gave up the idea of becoming a concubine.
Second Aunt held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely choose a good husband for you."
The Jiang family's youngest daughter responded softly and nodded: "But I still have to be a face-cleaning lady.
Ying Zhilin was adopted by my grandmother, so he is my cousin. He must, and must, help me."
Second Aunt thought of the one or two taels of monthly silver and rolled her eyes: "Okay, I'll let your sister go too, so that you two sisters can look after each other and others won't dare bully you."
"Humph, I'm Ying Zhilin's cousin, who dares to bully me?"
As the mother and daughter talked, they went to find Wen Yan together.
Wen Yan had just finished arranging the things at hand when her second aunt and her daughter arrived.
The second aunt asked Wen Yan about her well-being and talked about all sorts of things.
Wen Yan had no patience to deal with her, and with a smile on her face, she said, "Second Aunt, just say whatever you want to say. I will try my best to do what I can, and there is nothing I can do about what I can't do."
Second Aunt's face froze, and she twisted her fingers to explain her purpose.
Wen Yan smiled and said, “These are all trivial matters. If my two cousins want to come, I just welcome them.
But I have to say something ugly upfront.
I always follow the rules and treat everyone equally. The two cousins will not receive any preferential treatment under my command.
Next, I want to make it clear to you that the so-called clean-faced ladies are actually servants who serve people. They do menial jobs, follow rules and regulations and have no freedom at all. If they anger those nobles, they have to endure beatings and scolding.
Even so, do you still want to go, cousins?"
The youngest daughter of the Jiang family immediately began to think of quitting.
She can't stand being humbled, let alone being beaten and scolded.
Second Aunt felt that Wen Yan was trying to scare her.
She didn't say whether she would go or not. She covered her face and cried, saying that she was not her real aunt after all. She then began to recount the kindness that Fifth Grandma had shown to Ying Zhilin.
Her crying voice was so shrill that it made Wen Yan feel annoyed and irritated.
"Second Aunt, you want everything. Aren't you too greedy?" Ying Zhilin pushed the door open and walked in. "Instead of asking for unnecessary things here, why not go clean up the house so you can move in sooner?"
"Ying Zhilin!" Second aunt couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table and stood up.
"No matter what, I am your aunt, how could you treat me like this!
Don't forget, if my mother hadn't agreed to adopt you, would you have the good life you have now?!"
"Even when you drink water, you still remember the person who dug the well. Is this how you repay my mother?"
"I will naturally repay my grandmother's kindness to me. I will provide for her in her old age and break the pot to see her off.
But this is not a reason for you to push your luck.
Don't say we're just adopted. Look at Ying Ximei. She's my biological aunt. We've lived under the same roof for over a decade. Has she ever taken advantage of me in the slightest?"
“You…” Second Aunt was so angry that she blurted out, “As expected, people say that those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.
You are really cold-hearted and don't care about family affection at all.
Aren't you afraid that I will publicize your deeds and make them known to the whole world? Your reputation will be ruined and you won't be able to participate in the Autumn Examination.
You have to think carefully. If you really want to give up your career for a woman, don't do it."
Ying Zhilin spread his hands indifferently: "If you want to publicize it, go ahead and publicize it.
Anyway, my wife has plenty of money, so even if I never take the imperial examination, she can still support me well and let me live a carefree life."
Second Aunt: "...You are so shameless, you even say that being a gigolo is so natural."
"So what? My wife is willing to support me. Is Second Aunt jealous?
Why don’t you use your own abilities to support my second uncle?
Instead of sucking my blood."
"You..." Second Aunt was so angry that she couldn't find any words to refute.
Suddenly she covered her chest and cried out in pain, saying that she was not feeling well and needed to see a doctor.
The youngest daughter of the Jiang family turned around and wanted to run out and yell.
"Pei'er." Ying Zhilin called out.
Pei'er immediately rushed out from the door and grabbed the youngest daughter of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family's youngest daughter struggled: "You slut, let me go. Can't you see my mother is not well? I want to find a doctor for her."
Ying Zhilin looked at her with a half-smile: "At such a young age, you haven't learned anything else, but you have learned your mother's ability to throw tantrums and play tricks 100%.
I know some medical skills, and from a distance, I can see that your mother is fine, so you don't have to worry."
Ying Zhilin was determined not to let her go out to see a doctor.
Knowing that she couldn't get out, the youngest daughter of the Jiang family retreated obediently and sat next to her mother.
Second Aunt also knew that no matter how much she pretended, her wish would not come true, so she cried out and came to her senses.
"Ying Zhilin, you will regret this." She threw down these harsh words and left in a hurry.
Wen Yan looked at her hurried backstage and laughed out loud.
Ying Zhilin took a deep breath, turned around and said to Wen Yan, "If they come to trouble you again in the future, just tell me directly and I will handle it."
Wen Yan waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "As long as the contract hasn't expired, I'm obligated to help you with these matters."
Ying Zhilin's eyes darkened.
Sure enough, she still thinks about leaving when the contract expires.
He was also glad that he did not act impulsively but chose to proceed step by step.
There are still three years until the contract expires, so I still have plenty of time to win her heart!
