Chapter 496 Don't know what's good for you, thinking that others owe you something?
Yao Ru came at this time.
She met Yu Tingwan from a distance.
They both pretended not to know each other.
Yu Tingwan greeted her.
Yao Ru looked at Gu Wu who was angry beside her, Shen Zhiyi who was smiling, and seven or eight ladies from aristocratic families behind her: "What is this?"
Yu Tingwan: "Nothing."
She finally spoke.
She felt wronged. She
raised her innocent little face.
"Maybe I'm not likable."
"It must not be that I did too well. The Fifth Imperial Concubine was afraid that I would steal the limelight and was dissatisfied."
She ordered the servants around her to let her go.
Yu Tingwan opened her mouth and spoke.
"You want..."
"And take me down."
Shen Zhiyi:...
She said why Yu Tingwan was so quiet just now, it turned out that she was suffocating here.
Gu Wu looked at Yu Tingwan in disbelief.
Soon.
She nodded at Yao Ru: "That's right! It's too bullying!"
Shen Zhiyi: "How is this bullying?"
"Don't you see what she did? It's thankless. Fundraising is a good thing, and the ladies are just accountants, just give money honestly, but she has too many things to do. She also helps to record the credit."
Yu Tingwan said faintly: "But everyone gave money."
Shen Zhiyi told her: "You are simple. You don't know how to beat around the bush. The banquet hosted by the Fifth Concubine, the money collected was used by the Fifth Prince's Mansion to buy rice and grain and transported to the disaster area. The people only know that the Fifth Concubine is doing her best. What credit can anyone else have here? It's all the credit of the Fifth Concubine."
The women who are not the Fifth Prince's party began to whisper.
"Why didn't the Shunguo Mansion hold the fundraiser? It's still fair for the general's wife."
"The natural disaster was not caused by us. We are willing to do good things, but we can't have no benefits and let the Fifth Concubine take all the credit."
Gold can still be heard when thrown into the water.
Those who are close are well-informed. Maybe you will know that the Fifth Imperial Concubine called on the court ladies to raise the donation.
But the Fifth Imperial Concubine was a designated person.
They were a group of people, and they were simply summarized by the general term "court ladies".
I didn't think there was anything wrong at first.
But after comparing with Yu Tingwan, who would feel comfortable?
Yao Ru: "Please stay."
Yao Ru glanced around and walked forward coldly. She had a strong aura and easily suppressed the Fifth Prince's wife.
The Fifth Imperial Concubine looked down on her.
Her man was not as capable as her man.
Her family was not as good as hers.
But recently, people outside were staring at Ying Yin, saying that he had the aura of a dragon.
If she was arrogant and ignored the seniority, she would inevitably be caught by outsiders and said that she did not take the Second Prince's wife seriously and was sure to become the queen.
The Fifth Imperial Concubine had no choice but to bow to Yao Ru and call out, "Second Imperial Sister-in-law."
After Yao Ru understood the whole story, she let the maid behind her hold the sleeping Dun Ge'er in her arms and said, "This is my sister-in-law's fault."
She smiled and said, "The General's wife sympathized with your busyness and tried her best to help you. She was also afraid that there would be mistakes due to insufficient manpower, so she specially called on the Young Lady of the Loyal and Brave
Marquis's Mansion and Miss Gu." "The Young Lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's accounting skills were taught by the imperial concubine in the palace, and Miss Gu learned from Princess Jiashan. There is no need for me to mention their skills."
"Not everyone can invite these two people, and they are also relying on the favor of the General's wife."
"You don't know what's good for you, thinking that they owe you?"
She said it quite directly.
She didn't save face for the Fifth Imperial Concubine.
The Fifth Imperial Concubine laughed in anger.
Crazy! How could
Yao Ru dare to talk to her like this in the past!
Who gave you so much confidence?
Ying Zhi, right!
A cripple, wanting to compete with me for the throne?
"You!"
"Is it appropriate to point fingers at me when the sister-in-law just arrived?"
Everyone present was a shrewd person, and they dared not breathe.
"I dare not point fingers at my sister-in-law."
Yao Ru's majesty of managing the household for many years is ingrained in her bones. The dark gold lines on her skirt flowed in the sunlight, and wherever her eyes swept, the backs of those she looked at would subconsciously straighten three points.
"I just remembered that this is a fundraising, not just for someone to show off. The gold, silver and jewelry raised can be exchanged for food and sent to the victims."
"As for the process, does it matter whether it passes through the hands of others? Or does the fifth sister-in-law have other thoughts and try to abuse her power for personal gain?"
"It took several days to prepare the banquet alone, and it would take time. You can afford to drag it out, but can the hungry victims wait?"
"How can I believe that you can exchange all of them into silver notes to buy rice and food in time? And load them on trucks and transport them to the disaster area in time?"
She had no intention of arguing with the fifth imperial concubine, so she just raised her hand.
He ordered the servants behind him who were carrying several loads of gold and silver, "Send it to the Shunguo Mansion."
Yao Ru: "I think the general's wife is more reliable than you."
This is a slap in the face and a sabotage.
The Fifth Princess's face was completely black: ???
"Yao Ru!"
She gritted her teeth: "Do you really want to make me unhappy?"
"You——"
Seeing this, the women who supported the Second Prince's party stood up and walked behind Yao Ru.
"I'm leaving."
"I'm leaving."
"I'm..."
"The people..."
The Fifth Imperial Concubine: ???
Those people walked up to Yu Tingwan and saluted again.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the general's wife."
Yu Tingwan hesitated: "This is not good, it will offend the Fifth Imperial Concubine."
Yao Ru: "The more capable, the more work. Madam Wei offended the Fifth Imperial Concubine for the victims. Isn't it worth it?"
What a big hat.
Yu Tingwan put it on.
She looked at the Fifth Imperial Concubine innocently and said softly: "I am a person with too noble character, but the resettlement of the victims should be the original intention of the Fifth Imperial Concubine."
She blocked all the words of the Fifth Imperial Concubine.
Yu Tingwan glimpsed that there were still many people who did not move.
She knew that there were those who were members of the Fifth Prince's party, and there were also those who remained neutral and did not get involved in party disputes at home.
The latter, one by one, looked hesitant.
She seemed to want to leave but was afraid of offending the Fifth Imperial Concubine.
Yu Tingwan knew that the temptation she had given was not enough.
She smiled.
"By the way. I just took a rough look and the ladies gave a lot."
"What I mean is that if you use this money to buy food, buy coarse grains and buy as much as you can."
"It's raining in the disaster area, and the convoys pulling goods have to build sheds and seal them to prevent the food from getting damp and moldy."
"Use bright red cinnabar to write on the outside who gave it."
Everyone thought about it and looked at her.
Yu Tingwan: "It's up to you, what to write on it."
She looked at Shen Zhiyi's mother.
"Madam Shen, why don't you help me make the decision? Just write that Shen Quan, the Shaofu Supervisor of Shangjing, and his wife Shen Wu, are doing good deeds together."
The crowd was in an uproar.
This is not just for the Queen Mother to see.
This is for the people of the world to see. Not only is it
beneficial to the master's career, but also for women like them to have a chance to show their faces.
How decent and glorious!
Do you still need to choose!
Many people stood up again.
"I'll take my leave."
"I'll..."
---
The people passing by the Fifth Prince's Mansion praised the carriages parked at the door.
"The Fifth Imperial Concubine is really kind."
"She really cares about the people. Otherwise, why would she hold a banquet to collect donations?"
I don't know when, the wind outside changed.
"What Fifth Imperial Concubine? Those ladies have donated to the general's wife."
"Why? Could it be that the Fifth Imperial Concubine will embezzle from it?"
"Don't be surprised, the Fifth Prince's uncle is a corrupt official. He embezzled the relief money from the court. What's the big deal if his wife embezzled some of the ladies' money?"
Some people agreed.
"That's right, the Shunguo Mansion is still reliable. If it were me, I would also choose the general's wife."
Someone expressed his puzzlement.
"Is it true? If so, why haven't those ladies come out yet? How long has it been?"
The Wei family army was mixed in.
"I know this!"
He was very proud.
"The general's wife was very polite. She wanted to quickly count and buy food to feed the victims, as she thought running back and forth would be troublesome and time-consuming. She also thought that the Fifth Prince's wife would host a banquet and would definitely prepare food. She couldn't leave in the middle of the meal, which would be impolite."
"So she stayed."
Wei Jiajun: "But I don't know what happened. The Fifth Prince's wife might have been too moved and fainted."
People: ...
She must have been angry.
But...
some people said it word by word.
"So, the Fifth Prince's wife worked so hard and made such a big fuss, fearing that someone in the capital would not know that she was going to hold a fundraiser, but..."
After a lot of confusion.
"She just provided the venue?"
