Wang Xiang came out from Wang's place with a sad face.
The guard at the gate saw Wang Xiang's sad face and couldn't help but ask him with concern, "Brother Wang, why do you look so unhappy? Who dares to mess with you?"
Wang Xiang was feeling irritated and just wanted to vent his grievances, so he stood at the door and whispered to the guards.
"It's all because of the heavy snow in the past few days. If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the roads, even the roads outside the city would be difficult to travel. All the things we buy are in short supply, and prices have risen sharply.
Brother, you don't know that the silver that the Madam gave me and the things she bought in the past are 20% less than before. What's more annoying is that half a month ago, I applied to the Madam Marquis to stock up more charcoal, but now all the charcoal has been snatched away.
The money my wife gave me is not enough to buy two kilograms of charcoal. The problem is that even if I have money, I can’t buy charcoal…”
"Well, it's ok for us servants to have no charcoal to cook, but we can't let the ladies and masters suffer from the cold..."
This would make other officials of the aristocratic families laugh to death, and his head would be in danger of splitting up the family.
"That's not right!" the gatekeeper asked doubtfully, "Didn't a merchant bring back a large cart of charcoal a few days ago?"
"How is that possible? Madam didn't give me any silver to collect charcoal the other day."
...
...
"I saw it with my own eyes."
At this time, Qiu Shuang and Han Shuang went out excitedly with baskets in their hands.
"Oh, it's the new maid who directed the charcoal delivery people to carry the charcoal into the mansion."
Wang Xiang didn't know Han Shuang, but he knew Qiu Shuang. Seeing this, he hurried forward to block the way of the two.
"Sister Qiu Shuang, are you going out in such a cold weather?"
Qiu Shuang naturally knew Wang Xiang.
Because Wang cut off the funding for their courtyard, and the servants in the Qi family's mansion spontaneously excluded and ridiculed her, she naturally had no good face towards the servants of the Qi family.
The young lady said that if they dared to bully them, they should scold them back and beat them back, and she would support them.
Qiu Shuang thought Wang Xiang was blocking their way to target them, so she turned cold and said unhappily, "Why do we have to give you a shopping report before we go out?"
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Shuang, why are you so angry? I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask, did the Crown Prince's wife stockpile charcoal a few days ago?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Han Shuang was more aggressive than Qiu Shuang, with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, "Are you worried that you won't be able to buy any charcoal, so you want to take advantage of our young lady?"
"If you want charcoal, go buy it yourself. We don't use the Qi family's money. Don't try to get anything from our young lady."
Han Shuang took Qiu Shuang's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go buy what the young lady wants."
"Okay."
Wang Xiang had originally thought of buying some charcoal from Qin Wu as an emergency measure, but now, Wang had completely offended Qin Wu, and he was afraid that this solution would not work.
Wang Xiang could only beg for help from everyone to find charcoal.
At the Qin family's side, as soon as winter came, Qin Wu had people stockpile a lot of charcoal, but because the hot pot restaurant had run out of charcoal, they needed charcoal to continue operating the hot pot restaurant.
So Qin Yinnuan directly took all the charcoal fire that had been prepared in the house for the whole winter to the hot pot restaurant.
Suddenly, the charcoal that came to the capital became a hot commodity. Some wealthy families who didn't have time to stock up on charcoal were miserable and could only use it frugally. On the other hand, Qin Wu's charcoal in the house was almost never extinguished all day long, and the house was as warm as summer.
A few days later, the Qi family ran out of charcoal and Wang Xiang was scolded by Wang Shi. Wang Xiang could only turn his attention to Qin Wu.
"The Crown Prince's wife bought a large amount of charcoal a few days ago. If we can get her to take it out, we will have charcoal to use in the mansion."
Wang Xiang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "I really can't buy charcoal. Madam, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask around. Not to mention our Marquis' Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, and other government offices also have many people asking for charcoal..."
"I heard from the gatekeeper Zhang Ya that the Crown Prince's wife bought a whole cart of charcoal. Let's get some charcoal from her so that the house won't be cold when the Marquis and the Crown Prince come back from their official duties..."
"Are you crazy if you want me to ask her for things?" Wang cursed without thinking.
Then he suddenly came to his senses, "What! She bought charcoal? How can she still have money to sell charcoal!"
Wang thought that Qin Wu was already starving in the yard, so where would she get the money to sell charcoal? And bring back a car!
Wang Xiang also wanted to say that she not only bought charcoal, but also gave the servants in the courtyard new clothes and better food and supplies than all of them.
Moreover, the people in Qin Wu's room were no more cold to them than they were because they were not rich enough.
He even wanted to go to Qin Wu's yard to work.
Nanny Lin beside Wang couldn't help but whisper, "Madam, don't you think it's strange that the Crown Prince's Consort is so rich?"
"She returned her dowry and was able to take out 500,000 yuan. She still has enough money to buy charcoal and live on. Who knows what shameful things she must have done to come up with so much money?"
"Madam, do you remember the guard who delivered the Crown Prince's wife? Madam suddenly asked the guard to deliver the baby. Who knows, Madam may have hooked up with this guard and cheated on our Crown Prince."
"This guard doesn't look like an ordinary person. She recently bought several slaves to serve her. She can come up with so much money, so it must be from unknown sources..."
"If we can find out where she got the money from, Madam will have something to hold her back and make her never dare to act so arrogant again..."
Nanny Lin still remembered the vengeance of being whipped and thrown out of Lichunyuan a few days ago.
When the real eldest daughter of the Qin family enters the mansion, even if Qin Wu is the legal wife and has the leverage in her hand, she will not dare to bully the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
After Nanny Lin said this, Wang suddenly felt that Qin Wu was very suspicious. Could this money be the cheap silver she exchanged for her body?
Qin Wu is very beautiful. She is one of the most stunning beauties in the Great Zhou.
So it is not impossible that she traded her body for dirty money.
She heard that the courtesan in Qianhua Tower could be sold for half a million in one night!
The more Wang thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Qin Wu was a person with a vicious heart and who would do anything to achieve his goals. There was nothing he couldn't do!
This is a complete attempt to bring shame to the Qi family, right?
Seeing Wang's expression changing, Nanny Lin added, "Madam, Qin Wu is also the Crown Prince's consort. The charcoal she has is also the Qi family's charcoal. It is reasonable for us to ask for it..."
Qin Wu was teasing the little Nuonuo who was lying on the bed. Less than a month old, little Nuonuo looked a lot older, with a chubby face, and he would smile at Qin Wu.
This caused a ripple in Qin Wu's calm heart, making her feel very warm.
"Get up and have fun, get up and have fun." Xiaobai jumped around the bed and shouted to Xiao Nuonuo.
Qin Wu poked Xiao Bai's feathers with her fingers and said, "She can't stand up yet..."
"Ah ah..." Little Nuonuo made a sound, as if responding to Qin Wu.
When Yan Shiyi came in, he saw the joyful atmosphere of the two people, one big and one small, and the bird.
His deep eyes were gentle and contained a little starlight. He walked forward and handed a small gadget to Qin Wu.
"This is the rattle I gave to little Nuonuo."
Qin Wu turned her head to look at him. He had a smile on his face, his expression tender and his eyes were as pure as a puppy's.
