Chapter 368
The next day, Yun Wan got up very early, took the account book handed to her by Emerald, and immediately felt elated.
The debts from various places have finally been collected, and the interest money that was previously lent out has also been recovered several times over. Now Yun Wan is finally financially secure.
With money, everything outside, from trees to scenery, seemed more lovely.
As usual, she allocated some silver to make interest, and carefully stored the rest away.
Although I'm not short of money right now, I still need to be extra careful with my finances.
Even jade has its limits, and it responded by falling down.
Just as Yunwan finished tidying up the silver, Zhou Mama came over and asked her to go to Rongxi Hall.
It turned out that the Yao family was arriving.
"The entire Yao family is coming this time. Besides Lord Yao and Madam Yao, they also brought a concubine's daughter," Zheng said, her brows furrowing slightly. "They will arrive tomorrow. Lord Yao and Madam Yao's courtyard will be arranged in the front courtyard. As for the concubine's daughter... now that the concubine is pregnant, we cannot disturb her. You can arrange for her to be placed in a more distant place."
Yun Wan agreed, but a thought began to run through her mind.
Judging from Zheng's expression, she seemed to dislike the illegitimate daughter very much.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Wan asked, "Mother-in-law, why did the Yao family bring a concubine's daughter here?"
"It's because Susu found a good husband in Luoyang City, so we wanted to bring our illegitimate daughter over to see if we could find her a marriage partner."
Speaking of this, Zheng felt resentful.
It's one thing for her to arrange things for Yao Susu, but after finally finding Yao Susu, why is the Yao family sending another one over?
What do you take her for?
Moreover, that concubine's daughter was far less charming than Yao Susu, and Madam Zheng had already foreseen that the Ding family would be in turmoil in the future.
It wouldn't have mattered before, but now Yunxi is pregnant. What if something bad happens...?
Seeing that Zheng's complexion was getting worse, Yun Wan lowered her eyelashes to cover the fleeting gloating in her eyes.
Judging from Zheng's words, that concubine's daughter must be difficult to deal with.
However, this is a good thing.
Yun Wan chuckled inwardly, "Then I'll make the arrangements right away."
As instructed by Madam Zheng, Lord Yao and Madam Yao's courtyard was arranged in the front courtyard, while the unnamed concubine's daughter was arranged in a corner courtyard, practically making it clear that she was not valued.
Pearl felt it was inappropriate: "Young Madam, what if that illegitimate daughter causes trouble with this arrangement? If you settle her in our South Courtyard, won't it be you who suffers if she makes a scene?"
Yun Wan smiled slightly: "I'm just afraid she won't make a fuss."
Pearl was puzzled, but Yun Wan showed no intention of explaining.
The Yao family arrived the following afternoon.
The head of the Yao family is named Yao Yuhao. He is about the same age as Yun Changliang and exudes the authority of a family head. Even the usually fiery Luo Shi appears much quieter and more virtuous in his presence.
Accompanying the two was a girl of similar age to Yao Susu, with willow-leaf eyebrows and slightly upturned eyes, which gave her a somewhat mean look and completely lacked the charm in Yao Susu's eyes.
Although Yao Yuhao was also from a noble family, he still had to be much more humble in front of Marquis Shen Jun. He cupped his hands in greeting to Shen Jun, then looked at Madam Zheng and spoke in a commanding tone: "Well, is the courtyard all arranged?"
Zheng's expression inevitably turned sour for a moment, but she quickly recovered and nodded, saying, "Cousin, don't worry, everything is arranged."
At this moment, Shen Jun's expression was also not very good.
After all, Zheng was his wife. Whether he acknowledged her or not was another matter, but he couldn't tolerate outsiders treating her with such contempt.
However, he was even angrier at Zheng Shi.
