Thinking this way, Jin Yu felt that he was much better than his father.
“My son,” Madam Jin took a deep breath, “your father has never amounted to anything in his life. Your mother can only rely on you. You must strive to make something of yourself and work hard.”
"Don't worry, Mother. Your son will definitely study hard and strive to bring honor to our ancestors as soon as possible."
He could easily come up with sweet words, but Madam Jin shook her head repeatedly, "Let's redeem Wuweilou first!"
That's a hen that lays eggs.
Even though last year was a bad year, the income was enough to cover the entire government's expenses for half a year, and we absolutely cannot let it fall into other people's hands.
"Don't worry, Mother," Jin Yu patted his chest and assured her, "As long as we get back the money that Yi Man Lou swindled from us, I will redeem Wu Wei Lou immediately."
Then, she asked ingratiatingly, "What method does Mother plan to use to help her son seek justice?"
"Send a letter to the clerk," Madam Jin said with a sinister look as she looked at the footprints on her son's body. "Just say that Yi Manlou deliberately injured someone and murdered them for money!"
"Will this work?" Jin Yu asked nervously. "The madam of Deyilou is quite shrewd."
"It's alright," Madam Jin said nonchalantly. "Of all the people you brought, just pick one out and beat him to death. That'll be the mastermind behind the downstairs."
It was worth it to exchange a worthless life for justice from the Jin family.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu immediately thought of Gou Sheng.
This person had angered him time and time again, and he really didn't want to stay any longer.
However, going back to find someone would be troublesome, so "I'll just listen to my mother and find someone to take the fall."
“Yes,” Madam Jin continued, “After you deliver the invitation, I will go with you to Deyilou. I want to see where they got the audacity to bully the Jin family.”
"Don't worry, Mother. I'll personally deliver the invitation. It'll be all taken care of in less than half an hour."
"Go ahead, your mother will wait at home for my son's good news."
"Son's gone to take care of some business, Mom's gotta keep busy." With that, Jin Yu dashed off.
He couldn't wait to settle accounts with those bastards from Deyilou!
“Mother,” a clear voice rang out as Miss Jin Er, supported by her personal maid, slowly walked out. “Has something happened to my brother?”
"Hmm," Madam Jin's face was very ugly, "Those sluts from Deyilou actually dared to cheat our family out of money, they really have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard!"
Not to mention that the Jin family itself is not easy to mess with, even if the Jin family has declined, she still has her maternal family.
She was indeed an illegitimate daughter, but she was still her father's daughter and represented the family's reputation. As long as her father remained in power, no one would dare to bully her!
Upon hearing this, Miss Jin blushed slightly. "Mother, do you have any solutions? Do you need my help?"
"It's alright, Mother can handle it."
Hearing this, Hongying smiled and flattered her, "Madam has been clever since childhood. Dealing with a bunch of vixens is a piece of cake for her."
“You,” Madam Jin chuckled, covering her mouth, “you still know how to talk. Bilian, here’s your reward.”
"This servant thanks Madam for the reward."
"By the way," Madam Jin asked casually, "has Jin Yong come back yet? I've watched him grow up since he was little, and I haven't seen him for a while. I miss him terribly."
Upon hearing this, Hongying froze for a moment.
Since she didn't see anyone when she went home last time, she has never gone back and has been eating and sleeping at the mansion.
"They should be back by now. That child has been arguing with me, but he'll be fine in a while."
She knew her son would definitely resent her.
So what? She's his biological mother, what can she really do?
Her husband had passed away, and she and her son had lost all hope. If she didn't make some plans, she would also have no future.
Everyone says that being a slave is not as good as being free, but she doesn't think so.
Every year, farmers starved to death, but she, a slave in the Jin family, never went hungry.
They could also have meat every few days to improve their diet, and their clothes were made of fine cotton, and some were even made of satin, but they dared not wear them for fear of breaking taboos.
This life is ten or a hundred times better than that of a peasant woman!
"Mother, I am not feeling well today, and my wet nurse has been taking care of me the whole time."
Upon hearing this, Madam Jin raised an eyebrow: I really didn't realize that Hongying was so ruthless.
Few people could remain steadfast in their household and refuse to return home after their husbands have passed away and their sons have run away.
Shaking her head, Madam Jin smiled and said, "Go back and visit more often when you have time. Jin Yong is a good boy. Even though he has left the manor, I still miss him."
“Madam is right. In a few days, I will have him come over to kowtow to you.”
"It's good that you have the intention," Madam Jin said, picking up her tea. "You can go back to your rooms now. I'm going to take a nap. We have a tough battle to fight this afternoon."
"Mother, please rest well," Miss Jin said obediently. "I will come to pay my respects again this evening."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
After walking for a while, Miss Jin suddenly spoke up, "Nanny, you haven't been back for a while. Go and see her today. Juan'er is with me."
“Miss,” Hongying said, feeling extremely wronged, “do you dislike this old servant?”
“No,” Miss Jin said, biting her lip. “Uncle Jin Ming just passed away, so the wet nurse should rest more.”
Suddenly I realized that my wet nurse was shockingly ruthless!
Her husband of over twenty years and the children she carried for ten months were utterly insignificant in her eyes.
Such callousness makes it impossible not to be wary.
Upon hearing this, Hongying fell silent.
After a moment, she casually smiled and said, "This old servant will obey Miss."
After speaking, he bowed and took his leave.
Meanwhile, after Jin Ming and his two companions drove home, the house was covered in dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
“Father,” Jin Yong explained cautiously when he saw Jin Ming’s dark face, “Maybe, possibly, probably, Mother has encountered something and can’t come home.”
“You don’t need to explain for him,” Jin Ming sneered. “I know what kind of person she is better than any of you!”
If you weren't feeling guilty, why wouldn't you even dare to go home!
“Father,” Jin Shi quickly wiped the chair clean with a rag, “Please sit down first. My brother and I will tidy up the yard and then we’ll cook dinner.”
After saying that, without waiting for Jin Ming's reaction, he immediately and quickly started packing up.
Jin Yong, who was standing nearby, realized what was happening and started cleaning as well.
Seeing this, Jin Ming sighed.
He knew his children were afraid he would be reminded of the past, but there was really no need for that. Although he resented his wife's coldness, he wouldn't let it affect his health.
The two were married by the host family. Although they have developed some feelings for each other over the years, it is not as good as their children imagined.
It's nothing more than living together as a couple!
In an ordinary family, this might be enough to make ends meet for a lifetime, but for those who have encountered wealth and status, such a fate is inevitable sooner or later.
Hongying returned while the family of three was having dinner.
Seeing the yard was clean and tidy, he immediately curled his lips into a smile, then cursed, "You little brat, you finally know how to come back? I thought you never wanted to come back for the rest of your life!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yong glanced nervously at Jin Ming, "Father, Mother, Mother is back."
He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence; he wasn't prepared at all!
