"lady……"
"lady!"
Chen Mingrong looked at Xiao Cui who rushed over to pick up the bracelet, and then looked at Shen Sulan, whose eyes were full of distortion even with a veil, and the disgust in his eyes became more and more uncontrollable.
"Madam, please go back to your own yard."
Shen Sulan looked at Chen Mingrong in disbelief after he finished speaking, and then she helped Xiao Cui up and went into the inner room.
"Chen Mingrong!"
Shen Sulan was so angry that she wanted to chase him in, but was stopped by the nanny beside her: "Madam, the master is still angry. If you rush in like this, I'm afraid it will only make the master even more unhappy."
"Are we just going to watch him and that little bitch..."
"Hush! Madam, keep your voice down."
The nanny hurriedly advised in a low voice: "Xiao Cui is just a lowly maid. She is only temporarily favored because of the child in her belly. Madam, there is no need to be angry with her. The most important thing now is to arrange a promotion for the master. If this is done, how can the master not remember your kindness?"
Shen Sulan was furious: "If that old guy doesn't pay, what can I do!"
The nanny thought for a moment and lowered her voice, "When I went back this time, I heard that the family was able to successfully secure an official position for Master because Yang had pawned a lot of her dowry and shop to raise the money to secure it."
"Yang Zhao pawned her dowry and shop?"
The nanny nodded. "I heard it from Mrs. Li, the old lady's confidant. She said the most valuable shops, restaurants, gold and silver shops, and the large farm in the suburbs were all pawned, and the old lady also paid a lot of silver to make up the money. Mrs. Li is the old lady's confidant, so she would not lie."
Shen Sulan frowned.
No wonder her mother said that there was no money at home. Did she use all the money to help Li'er get an official position?
Really biased!!
However, thinking about Xiao Cui's hypocritical promise to give away all her wealth, and Chen Mingrong's touching expression...
Shen Sulan gritted her teeth and said, "Tomorrow morning, go and exchange the prosperous shops and farms that I brought as a dowry for silver..."
…
"Madam, Madam Liu and Aunt Lan are here."
Xia Ying came into the room to report.
Before Yang Zhao, who was sitting on the couch, could speak, Shen Sulan came straight in, followed by Aunt Liu.
"Didn't you say you were not feeling well? You still have the leisure to read a book." Shen Sulan wrapped up like a bear and entered the house. The warmth made her face look much more relaxed, but the words she said were a bit harsh.
Yang Zhao put down the book and sat up straighter: "Why is my aunt here?"
Shen Sulan glanced at Yang Zhao, then sat directly on the other side of the couch. She asked the nanny to put a box on the low table in the middle of the couch and opened the box: "See if these are enough."
Yang Zhao glanced at it, confused: "I don't know what this means, aunt?"
Shen Sulan gave a look directly to Aunt Liu.
Nanny Liu took a step forward and said with a smile, "Madam, what the old lady means is that the son-in-law of the Chen family is one of our family members after all. He has worked diligently over the years and is just one step away from being promoted to the Ministry of Personnel. She hopes that you can smooth things over and make his promotion smoother."
"Yes, here are 80,000 taels. You just need to get your uncle a fifth-rank position in the Ministry of Personnel." Shen Sulan said lightly.
"Fifth Rank?"
Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, is this also what the old lady meant?"
Nanny Liu's expression froze slightly. She really didn't expect Shen Sulan to have such a big appetite. She said she was just here to smooth things over, but now she turned around and said she wanted a fifth-rank official position. The master was only a sixth-rank official!
"Mother has asked Madam Liu to come, so this is what she meant. Why are you asking so many questions? Just do it directly." Shen Sulan said with a cold face, as if she was not here to beg someone, but to give an order.
Yang Zhao was a little amused.
I have seen people who are greedy, but no one is so greedy and so confident.
"I'm sorry, niece-in-law can't do this."
Shen Sulan glared, "What? You don't even listen to the old lady's words?"
"Madame Liu, please plead guilty to the old lady on my behalf when you go back. I really can't do anything about my aunt's matter." Yang Zhao ignored Shen Sulan and spoke directly to Madame Liu.
Nanny Liu gave a dry laugh and nodded.
When Shen Sulan saw this, she became anxious. "Yang Zhao, you...you have to explain why you can't do it? Don't you think the money is too little? There are 80,000 taels here, which is not a small amount."
"My dear, I spent nearly 300,000 taels to bribe my uncle for this sixth-rank official position. And you want my wife to help you get a fifth-rank official position for just a few tens of taels? Aren't you making things difficult for my wife?"
"Xia Ying!"
Yang Zhao scolded Xia Ying lightly before looking at Shen Sulan; "Aunt, please go back. Your niece-in-law is really powerless."
Three hundred thousand taels?
Shen Sulan's eyes were about to pop out.
Even if she sold her, she couldn't raise that much money!
But if she left like this, Shen Sulan would naturally be unhappy.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a wad of silver notes she had hidden from under her sleeve. "Here are 20,000 more. Together, we'll make 100,000 taels. That should be enough to get your uncle into the Ministry of Personnel and get promoted to a better position, right?"
Yang Zhao glanced at the stack of banknotes, smiled slightly and said, "My niece can only do her best."
"Try your best?"
Shen Sulan was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "No, you must give me a positive answer."
One hundred thousand taels.
Almost all the money that was taken from the Shen family over the years, as well as her dowry, are now here.
If she can't find a good official position by then, won't she be furious?
"Then Aunt, please take the money back."
"you……"
"Aunt, Madam really has no control over this matter. However, since Madam has stepped forward to handle it, she will naturally do it with all her heart. After all, we are all family. In the future, my brother-in-law and my master will be able to work in the Ministry of Personnel together and help each other. No matter for my brother-in-law or my master, there will only be benefits and no harm." Nanny Liu said with a smile, the meaning was self-evident.
Yang Zhao smiled and looked at Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu is still very insightful."
Before leaving.
Shen Sulan looked at the box of money left behind and felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe. Her reluctant expression, as if she wanted to take it back again, made Xia Ying laugh.
"Madam, I've inquired about it. Under Xiao Cui's provocation, the aunt has also become ruthless and has almost paid out the dowry. She also made a strong promise to the Chen family, saying that she will definitely find a fifth-rank official position for the son-in-law of the Chen family."
