The flower hall was very quiet, except for the sobbing of the second wife of the Jue Luo family. Everyone looked confused. Had something happened to the Jue Luo family?
Under Fei Yanggu's persuasion, Lady Ulanara was no longer willing to make promises easily. Lady Jue Luo, the second wife, noticed that her sister-in-law was not saying a word, so she had no choice but to tell her what had happened.
It turns out that when the Eighth Prince's wife returned to her parents' home, she mentioned Qingyan's shop. She was asking if the family received any dividends, and if so, if so, they should all be handed over to Yinsi for management.
The second wife of the Jue Luo clan immediately said that there would be no more dividends at home, and that Lady Ulanara had become estranged from her maternal family, so these benefits would certainly not remain at home.
The Eighth Prince's wife's face darkened instantly, and she scolded her family for not caring about her at all.
The Second Lady of the Jue Luo Clan was forced to come by the Eighth Prince's wife. Inside the mansion, Yin Si controlled all the silver, and even the Eighth Prince's wife's dowry silver was taken away. In order to save face, the Eighth Prince's wife had no choice but to turn to her maternal family.
What? !
Upon hearing this, Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes widened. What was Yinsi about to do?
"Sister-in-law, please save Eighth Prince's wife! She's so pitiful!" Second Lady Jue Luo cried.
If Lady Ulanara agrees, Qingyan certainly won't be able to object, and things will take a turn for the better.
"Second Madam, are you forcing me? The two shops are part of Qingyan's dowry, and you also have a dowry. Do you understand what that means?" Madam Ulanara questioned the Second Madam of the Jue Luo clan.
The second wife of the Jue Luo family was really anxious. If she couldn't fulfill her daughter's request, her life in the Eighth Prince's mansion might become even more difficult.
"Sister-in-law, you should ask Fourth Prince's wife to lend a hand, otherwise... she's such a young girl, suffering in Eighth Prince's mansion. If she doesn't complete the tasks assigned by Eighth Prince, she'll definitely be wasted by him again!" Second Madam Jue Luo completely ignored Fourth Prince's wife.
The noblewomen in the capital all envied the Fourth Prince's wife. Despite her high position, she was still so doted on by her master and never had a chance to argue with him.
"Heh, what are you saying, Second Madam? The Eighth Prince's wife will be wasted, and my daughter has also married into the royal family. Although she is living a good life, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?" Madam Ulanara sneered.
Everyone sees Qingyan as a man devoted to one woman for life. If it weren't for the twins, who could say that the Fourth Prince wouldn't take a concubine?
"You... this isn't just sophistry, Fourth Madam, I'm still your aunt, aren't I? I beg you, give your sister a way out, give her 20% of the profits, is that alright?" Second Madam Jue Luo asked directly.
Everyone present was shocked. The Second Lady of the Jue Luo Clan was confused. It was clearly Qingyan who founded the shop. What had the Eighth Prince's wife ever done? Yet, she had 20% of the profits taken away directly.
"Second Madam, are you out of your mind?" Madam Ulanara scolded. "What has the Eighth Princess Consort done? What contribution has she made to the shops? Let alone her, even I shouldn't touch those two shops anymore!"
Qingyan was amused by the situation. If the Second Madam of the Jue Luo family had said something else, Qingyan might have been able to tolerate it. However, Qingyan knew how to manage the profits of the two shops.
"Second Madam, that's impossible. This is my own dowry, and no one can interfere with it. If the Eighth Prince's wife really wants to interfere, I will have to go to Father Emperor and ask him to make a decision for me!" Qingyan had heard absurd things before, but she had never seen anything as absurd as the Second Madam of the Jue Luo Clan.
The second wife of the Jue Luo family was stunned. Wasn't Qingyan the easiest to talk to? Now, how did she change her personality?
In the past, Lady Ulanara supported her maternal family and believed that her family deserved this honor.
She was disheartened by her family's demands, and if it weren't for Fei Yanggu and his two sons constantly persuading her, she probably wouldn't have been able to speak so harmoniously with Qingyan.
"Fourth Princess Consort, if I hadn't seen your sister with nowhere else to turn, I wouldn't have come to beg you!" The Second Madam of the Jue Luo Clan knelt directly in front of Qingyan.
“Logically speaking, I am the primary consort of the prince, and you are the wife of a subject. Even if you kneel before me like this, I can still accept your courtesy.” Qingyan’s words disrupted the plans of the second wife of the Jue Luo clan.
Previously, the second wife of the Jue Luo clan had planned that if Qing Yan disagreed, she would kneel down in front of the Jue Luo clan. As Qing Yan's aunt, if Qing Yan accepted the courtesy without complaint, the reputation of being disrespectful to elders could be placed on Qing Yan's head.
"Second Madam, are you out of your mind? Are you forcing my daughter in front of me?" Madam Ulanara looked at the Second Madam's actions with icy eyes, and her tone slowly turned cold.
How much has she done for her family? She has even hurt her own daughter many times. If she doesn't repent, what will the consequences be?
"Sister-in-law, please help us again. Didn't you help us many times before?" The second wife of the Jue Luo clan ignored all advice and believed that Lady Ulanara should help the Jue Luo clan.
Regardless of what the Jue Luo clan did, she should help them unconditionally.
"I already said before, if you continue to cause trouble with those unreasonable things, I won't tolerate it!" Jue Luo said coldly.
The two sisters-in-law and Qingyan all fell silent. The Eighth Prince's wife was ruthless enough to make the Second Lady of the Jue Luo clan come to cause trouble during the New Year.
"Now, it's the New Year season. Are you trying to bring bad luck to our mansion? Sister-in-law, do you think I'm living too comfortably?" Lady Ulanara asked.
"No... this time it's really because my sister-in-law was too anxious!" Madam Jue Luo quickly denied upon hearing this.
Everyone hopes for a happy and joyful Lunar New Year, and of course, they also hope that no one will bring bad luck.
"Hmph, too hasty. I think you're trying to cause me trouble. You can't even control the backyard?" Lady Ulanara looked at the nanny beside her.
“Granny Zhao, you personally invited my second brother here. I want to ask him how he manages the household. He’s causing trouble here during the New Year. Does he think I’m dispensable just because I didn’t go home for the New Year?!” Lady Ulanara directly summoned her maid and told her to go back and ask her.
The second wife of the Jue Luo family secretly realized that she was in trouble, as she had completely kept her trip a secret from the second master of the Jue Luo family.
“No… Sister-in-law, there’s no need for that. I’ll go back now. You should try to persuade Fourth Princess Consort. If possible, could you give Eighth Princess Consort a way out?” Second Madam Jue Luo quickly said.
Qingyan was slightly taken aback. Was there no way out?
“Second Madam, it’s going too far to say that the royal wife can be bullied!” Qingyan said.
