Chapter 29 The younger sister-in-law wants new clothes, but she won't give them to

him A face that is 50% similar to Ruan Ruoying, with a bit of domineering and the pampering of a little girl.

Princess Chen is the princess of Yun Hongchen, the fifth son of the late emperor. He is the younger brother of today.

There are still two sons of the late emperor who have not married. They were still very young at that time, and of course they could not participate in the party struggle, so they all grew up safely.

Naturally, they became the object of competition for marriage among the young ladies in the imperial court.

"Of course my daughter must dress up beautifully. Ah Qing, make a dress for Ruyue that she likes." Ruan Ruoying ordered directly.

"Mother, we just made two new dresses last month for the Dragon Boat Festival. I guess my little sister has only worn them once at most.

And the number of clothes that the women in our mansion can make every year is fixed. If my little sister makes one this time, she can't make any more by the Mid-Autumn Festival." Song Shuqing said in a serious tone.

"Sister-in-law, when did you become so petty? Our mansion is not so poor, right?"

Feng Ruyue started yelling at Song Shuqing rudely.

"I'm your sister-in-law, why are you so rude?" Song Shuqing will never get used to this family asking for whatever they want.

When the mother-in-law handed over the housekeeping power, the family didn't have much money. It is estimated that she kept it to herself. She has only taken over for more than a year and can't change anything at all.

"Mom, look at the sister-in-law." Feng Ruyue threw herself in front of Ruan Ruoying and acted coquettishly.

"Ah Qing, there is only one young lady in our Marquis' Mansion now. It doesn't matter if she makes a few more sets of clothes. If she doesn't dress up beautifully, how can she get married?" Ruan Ruoying said slowly.

Song Shuqing had to make clothes for her anyway.

"Mother, yesterday I calculated the accounts of last month. My sister-in-law's expenses are greater than those of the Marquis. We will be laughed at if we tell others about it." Song Shuqing just wouldn't give in.

Ruan Ruoying squinted at Song Shuqing, obviously angry. It's not too much for her daughter to be spoiled.

The Marquis is not her son.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to attend the poetry meeting held by Princess Chen. All the guests are noble ladies and nobles. Don't you want me to marry well?" Feng Ruyue didn't give Song Shuqing any face at all.

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but if you think about it carefully, it forced Song Shuqing into a dead end.

Not making clothes for her means he doesn't want her to marry well.

So heartbreaking!

This girl seemed to have been too good to her in the past, causing her to have no respect in front of him.

"Okay, I'll make it for you, but there will be no monthly allowance for the next two months." Song Shuqing was determined not to give in.

"How can that be? How can I send servants away without a monthly allowance, and how can I buy the things I like? Besides, the monthly allowance is so little, ten taels of silver a month.

You plan to make me a dress worth twenty taels of silver for a piece of clothing to attend a poetry meeting? Aren't you afraid that I will embarrass the Marquis' Mansion if I wear it out? I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion." Feng Ruyue was aggressive without caring about her image as a woman. Song Shuqing

was so angry that she really wanted to turn around and leave.

"Do it, do it, do it." Suddenly a child's voice interrupted. Who else could it be but Feng Yuanji.

"Humph, even a three-year-old knows how to do it." Feng Ruyue picked up Feng Yuanji and kissed him on the face, "Yuanji is really good."

"Ruyue, do you know how much money our mansion has in and out in a month?" Song Shuqing asked coldly.

"I'm not the head of the family, how should I know?" Feng Ruyue replied unhappily.

"When I took over the responsibility of housekeeper from my mother two years ago, there were only 5,000 taels of silver in the account. The mansion has two farms, and in addition to the grain and vegetables provided to the mansion, only 1,000 taels of silver are brought in each year.

There are eight shops, and each shop has an average monthly profit of about 200 taels. The total income of our mansion plus your eldest brother's salary is less than 20,000 taels of silver. Your second brother's salary has never been handed over since I became the head of the family.

You have to support such a large family, tell me, how can I make clothes for you?" Song Shuqing would rather give up her clothes today.

"What?" Feng Ruyue looked at Song Shuqing in disbelief.

Such a large mansion only has an income of more than 10,000 taels of silver a year? This is too poor. How can it be enough to support a large family?

A good set of head ornaments would cost more than a thousand taels of silver.

"But don't you have a dowry?" Feng Ruyue muttered again. But everyone heard it.

"I have a dowry, and my mother also has a dowry. My second brother's wife is a daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and she has more dowry. Do you want to confiscate them all?" Song Shuqing said coldly, and glanced at the two of them.

A woman's dowry was a personal property in this era. If a family asked the daughter-in-law to take out her dowry and confiscate it, they would be ridiculed, and the official would be impeached.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you today? Don't I just want a set of clothes? You didn't treat me like this before." Feng Ruyue finally felt wronged. Her voice became much lower.

[Mother is powerful, you can't get used to it. 】Feng Tianxing praised Song Shuqing in her heart.

Song Shuqing looked at Feng Tianxing in her arms lovingly.

【This sister-in-law is not a good person. She used tricks to marry the ninth son of the previous emperor, Prince Yi, as a concubine, and sided with the current second prince to target Daddy. 】

Song Shuqing's face changed when he heard this.

【It seems that she was related to the ninth prince at this lotus appreciation poetry meeting. No, I have to find a way to go to the poetry meeting. 】Feng Tianxing remembered, and her face was very tangled.

"Little sister, my second sister-in-law has some good materials. Come to my courtyard later and pick some that you like to make a set." Zheng Lian stood up to be a good person.

In fact, she didn't like this sister-in-law very much, but who made her her husband's biological sister.

"Second sister-in-law is still the best." Feng Ruyue immediately hugged Zheng Lian's arm and acted coquettishly.

The problem was solved.

Feng Yuanjie and Ruan Ruoying had enough of being intimate, so they ran over and hugged Song Shuqing's legs.

"Mom, hug me." The little face raised up, innocent.

Song Shuqing squatted down and put Feng Tianxing down as well: "Yuanjie is already grown up, now you are a big brother, you can't let mom hold you anymore, you have to walk by yourself."

Song Shuqing was very conflicted now. Tianxing was her biological daughter, and she had raised Yuanjie for three years. It was too difficult for this kind woman to treat him as garbage all of a sudden.

"No, I want mom to hold me." Feng Yuanjie began to cry.

"Yuan Ji, come and let your aunt hold you. Your mother must be tired from holding your sister just now." Zheng Lian immediately stepped forward to coax him.

Feng Yuanji threw himself into Zheng Lian's arms without hesitation.

Children are always mothers if they have milk. Zheng Lian wanted to get close to Feng Yuanji whenever she had the chance. She prepared delicious food for him, made clothes for him, and coaxed him to play. She was more attentive than Song Shuqing.

In the past, Song Shuqing thought that she had lost her child and transferred her love to Yuanji.

Now seeing her like this, her heart ached to the point of numbness.

"Okay, let's go, Yuanji stays here." Ruan Ruoying said.

"Mother, I'll take Yuanji away. I'll have to change his clothes later. They're all dirty." Song Shuqing took Feng Yuanji from Zheng Lian's arms and said goodbye.

She made up her mind to try her best to prevent the second wife from getting close to Feng Yuanji in the future.

As soon as she walked out of Renshou Hospital, Cuiping came running over and it was obvious that she had something to report.
