Chapter 609
Zhong Jie took the money and stuffed it all into Yun Xi's hands: "Take this money. From now on, you'll receive your money monthly. Is five thousand taels enough?"
Yunxi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Mother, I eat and live at home, why would I need so much money?"
“That won’t do. We can’t let you go back to your own home and feel even more wronged than you are at the Yun family’s,” Zhong Jie said, her mind made up. “Don’t worry, five thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, but it’s not that much in reality.”
The Yunnan Prince's Mansion has not been in Yunnan for nothing all these years. Moreover, the emperor would reward them after each victory. More importantly, these were compensations for Yunxi, which she was entitled to.
But Yunxi still shook her head and refused.
“Mother, the money I asked the Yun family for before was because they wanted me to do something, so they owed me money. But the Huo family doesn’t owe me anything, so there’s no need for that money.”
As Yunxi spoke, she put the silver back into Zhong Jie's hand: "Mother, you should keep it for yourself. If I run out of money, I will ask you for some."
Without saying a word, Zhong Jie gave her the silver again: "Then you can keep it for now, and ask me for more when you need more money later."
Madam Shui smiled and said, "Please accept this, young lady. It's really nothing. Don't keep refusing it."
Since that's what they said, Yunxi had no choice but to accept the money.
With all that, she had quite a bit of silver on hand, and it was all in cash.
Yunxi was momentarily dazed by the sudden wealth of a poor person.
In my past life, I had nothing, but in this second life, I have everything.
This time, however, Yunxi did not feel the ethereal and unreal feeling she had before, but rather felt very grounded.
After accepting the silver note, Yunxi said, "Mother, I'm going to a banquet with my sister-in-law tomorrow."
Zhong Jie laughed: "Great! This is your first time going out in public. Have you prepared your clothes and jewelry? If not, we'll go buy them today."
"Don't worry, Mother, everything is fine."
"That's good."
After finishing her business, Zhong Jie left.
She did want to be with Yunxi all the time, just like before, but before Madam Chen left, she told her that Yunxi had grown up and needed her own space.
Zhong Jie was unwilling to leave Yun Xi, but she was even more unwilling for Yun Xi to compromise herself for her own selfish desires.
After seeing Zhong Jie off, Yun Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Mother, mother——"
Shen Nianchu called out to her at the top of his lungs.
"hug--"
Yunxi curled her lips and walked towards Chen Nianchu.

Yun Wan returned to the Yun residence and heard that Zhou Mama had already written a letter and sent it out, so she did not go to see Madam Yun.
Even if I went, it would only add to the sadness, so it's better not to go.
She returned to her courtyard and had barely sat down when the lady-in-waiting brought over a dress: "Miss, you are going to a banquet at the Duke of Qin's house tomorrow. This is your dress."
Yun Wan then remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
She glanced at her clothes.
The deep purple robes signified her status, and the exquisite embroidery on them revealed their preciousness even before she wore them.
"Is the jewelry ready?"
"yes."
Yun Wan nodded.
At least the lady-in-waiting in front of her was very good at these things, and always did things to her liking.
Yun Wan sighed.
After being divorced, Madam Yun became like that. Yun Wan had been suppressing her feelings for a long time, and it was time for her to go out and have some fun.
Otherwise, Yun Wan really felt like she was being driven crazy.
