Early this morning, the City Palace sent someone to deliver a letter. It was written by the City Lord himself, saying that Yu Jinshu had been in mourning for her deceased husband for three years, and that he would marry Yu Jinshu as his wife in the near future.
Wang Zeqing has heard about this.
The last time he followed Yu Jinshu to Fuqing County, he encountered bandits and was rescued by the city lord himself. He then realized that the city lord loved Yu Jinshu deeply.
Yu Jinshu has lived in the Wang family mansion for three years and has been a widow for three years. The Wang family mansion should have let her go long ago.
"Mother, although my sister-in-law is going to marry someone else, I feel that the Wang family has such a large business that we cannot do without her for the time being."
Qin coughed a few more times and looked at the blood on the handkerchief. She pinched the handkerchief and looked at Wang Zeqing: "You are right. The business of the Wang family mansion has not fully recovered yet. Zeqing, if you have any ideas, just speak up."
After the day when the bandits broke into her bedroom and tried to assassinate her, she suddenly understood a lot of things.
Now that her own son is gone, she has contracted such a serious illness at the age of only forty. This is because she was too harsh on her daughter-in-law.
This was God's punishment for her, making her so rich but without children and unable to enjoy the wealth.
Perhaps before she died, she should do something for Yu Jinshu in exchange for blessings in her next life.
Yu Jinshu looked at Wang Zeqing and Qin without saying anything. She knew that the Wang family really couldn't do without her now, so it would be best if they didn't leave her.
If he were to completely separate from her, Cheng Gong's business would not be guaranteed, because Cheng Gong had only signed a hundred-year contract with the Imperial Kiln Factory. The weaving factory was currently clearing out previous defective products and compensating with new fabrics. Other cooperation also required her to deal with.
Wang Zeqing looked at Yu Jinshu seriously. "I heard that mother has adopted you as her goddaughter. As the only male in the Wang family mansion, I also recognize you as my own sister. You are still a member of my Wang family. And the several major businesses of the Wang family mansion, such as the Imperial Kiln Factory, the Weaving Factory, and the Tea Factory, all relied on you to revive. Whether the Wang family mansion can fully recover its former prosperity in the future also depends on your help. I think you should give half of the business of the Wang family mansion to you."
Qin was about to die. Money was something that could not be brought into this world and could not be taken away from this world either. She also had no descendants, so she did not care about these things anymore.
She said, "Zeqing, you are the only male in the Wang family mansion. As long as you are willing to share, then share!"
Yu Jinshu was very surprised. She wanted to get the share of the Wang family mansion that belonged to her, but never thought of asking for half.
Of course, you can't take half.
The Wang family's property is too huge. If she, a woman, takes half of it, people will definitely talk about it in the future. This will not be a good thing for the Yu family or the Cheng Palace.
In short, one should not be too greedy and should know when to stop.
She said, "Zeqing, thank you for treating me as your real sister, but I don't need so much."
Wang Zeqing looked at her sincerely and said, "Sister, if it weren't for you, the Wang family mansion wouldn't last a few years and would have fallen into decline. It's only natural that you should take half of the Wang family mansion."
Yu Jinshu shook his head: "Why don't I tell it myself! The Wang family is a family of merchants, so they must understand that a relationship without profit, even between family members, will not last long."
Qin and Wang Zeqing nodded in unison, it was indeed the case.
Yu Jinshu continued, "I need the benefits of the Wang family mansion, but as a woman, I don't have such ambitions as to share half of the Wang family's wealth. I only need 20% of the business I helped build. I will only consider this 20% profit to maintain my long-term cooperative relationship with the Wang family and deepen our family ties."
Qin didn't expect Yu Jinshu to be so broad-minded and speak frankly, and to say such truthful words.
She felt really guilty when she thought about it. She had blamed Yu Jinshu for taking away her power as the head of the family.
She was so ashamed that she thought she was just a housewife who didn't know how to do business. The family should have been managed by Yu Jinshu.
Wang Ze said, "30% is enough! Sister, there's no need to refuse. I'll still have to rely on your help and guidance in the future, and the Wang family mansion will still rely on you in the future."
Yu Jinshu did not refuse again, and the matter was settled.
Qin took out her private savings worth one million gold and gave it to Yu Jinshu as a dowry.
This surprised Yu Jinshu a little, and he even wanted to let Qin know that Wang Baoshan was still alive.
The next day, Yu Jinshu's parents were taken to the capital by a carriage from the palace.
Yu Jinshu returned to her parents' home to reunite with them and began preparing for the wedding.
Ye Nankun was unwilling to wait even a single day, but the auspicious day was eight days later, so he had no choice but to endure these eight days, happily taking care of the wedding himself every day.
On the day of the wedding, the imperial sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Yu family, and Ye Nankun jumped off the tall horse.
It is a rare thing for the city lord to come and welcome you in person.
Whenever the city lord got married, the bride would go directly into the palace gate.
The fact that the city lord personally welcomes the bride shows how deep his love for Yu Jinshu is.
On their wedding night, although Ye Nankun and Yu Jinshu had had sex many times before, they were still as passionate as the first time.
Half a month after the marriage, Yu Jinshu began to experience morning sickness. Ye Nankun asked the imperial physician to take her pulse. When the physician said she was pregnant, he could not believe that he actually had a child.
Qin was critically ill three months later.
Yu Jinshu went to visit the Wang family mansion, thinking that although Qin had treated her harshly in the past, in the end, Qin was sincere to her.
"Mother, Baoshan is not dead, he is still alive."
After hearing these words, Qin was so excited that she kept coughing and coughed up a lot of blood.
"Jinshu, you mean Baoshan is still alive."
Yu Jinshu nodded. "He's still alive. He's now running a pottery shop in Jiangnan to make a living. It's true that he can't return to the Wang family mansion because he faked his death. His household registration was cancelled three years ago. If he returns, he'll be beaten with eighty sticks and spend ten years in prison."
