Knowing that Jiang Yan was waiting in her yard, Yun Wanrou stayed in the garden and waited until the sun went down before returning.
Jiang Yan has never had much patience, and she guessed that she should have left long ago.
But to her surprise, as soon as she returned to the gate of the yard, she saw Jiang Yan sitting in the yard waiting for her.
She was about to turn around and leave when Jiang Yan suddenly stood up with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Yan said as she walked forward with a smile.
She came to Yun Wanrou, took her hand affectionately, and led her into the yard.
"You've been here for a long time?" Yun Wanrou pretended to be surprised: "I saw that the sun was shining brightly today, so I took Yangyang to the garden to bask in the sun."
"I know, Chuqiu told me. Sister-in-law, can you lend me some silver? I need it urgently."
Jiang Yan stopped and looked at Yun Wanrou eagerly.
Yangyang took her finger out of her mouth and stuck out her tongue at her.
[My mother had been out in the sun for the whole afternoon, but I still couldn't avoid her. ]
[Jiang Yan is really something, is she in such a hurry to get married? Tan Xin couldn't come up with a betrothal gift, so she came to my mother and wanted to borrow her dowry! ]
[Mother, don't lend it to her. You don't know that Tan Xin's family has a huge hole.
If Jiang Yan marries him, she will suffer hardship and poverty. Forget about getting back the money you lent her! 】
It turns out that Tan Xin married Jiang Yan to fill the hole in his family!
Yun Wanrou's eyes turned and she looked at Jiang Yan with a faint smile.
"How many do you need?"
"Not much, a few thousand taels will be fine! But if sister-in-law can come up with ten thousand taels of silver, that would be even better!"
"Thousands or tens of thousands of taels?" Wangshu's eyes widened in shock: "Miss Yan'er, did you go to the gambling house and get addicted to gambling?"
"Pfft, pfft, don't talk nonsense. I'm lending you this money for a great use!"
Jiang Yan glanced at Wangshu, then turned her gaze to Yun Wanrou again.
As if she was afraid that Yun Wanrou would not lend it to her, she held Yun Wanrou's hand and shook it gently.
"Sister-in-law, I know you treat me the best. Trust me, I will pay you back the money you lent me very soon!"
"Yan'er, of course I believe you, but I can't afford so much money."
Yun Wanrou frowned slightly and shook her head in embarrassment.
Jiang Yan didn't believe what she said and continued, "Sister-in-law, don't you have a lot of dowry?
It doesn't matter if you don't have so much cash, you can sell some of your dowry. When I have money, I will redeem the dowry."
When Wangshu heard that Jiang Yan was planning to take his wife's dowry, he frowned unhappily.
She was afraid that Yun Wanrou would agree, so she quickly said, "Miss Yan'er, the expenses of the Marquis's Mansion have always been covered by my wife's dowry.
There is not much dowry left, why are you still thinking about the dowry?"
"It's not like I won't pay it back!"
Jiang Yan glared at her angrily.
What's wrong with this Wangshu? He always goes against her.
She is the only biological sister of Marquis Anyuan. If she said it was a loan, she would definitely pay it back.
Why are you so wary of this damn girl Wangshu?
"Yan'er, I won't hide it from you. What Wangshu said is all true. Before, the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion were almost all covered by my dowry.
The remaining part was also used by me to support Guangxia Academy. My mother also knew about this.
Now all my belongings combined are only worth a few dozen taels of silver, if you need it..."
"How many taels? You're treating a beggar like that!"
Jiang Yan frowned and interrupted Yun Wanrou.
She glared at Yun Wanrou and Wangshu and snorted coldly, "If you don't want to lend it, just say so. Why do you have to humiliate me like this? Humph!"
After saying this, Jiang Yan turned and left.
Wangshu turned around to look at her leaving back and pouted unhappily.
"Miss Yan'er is really ignorant. When she needed to borrow money from Madam, she flattered her in various ways.
Knowing that the lady could not lend so much money, he immediately changed his expression. "
"Wangshu, don't make irresponsible comments about your master."
Yun Wanrou looked towards the window of the next room.
Seeing a figure in the window, she guessed that it was Chuqiu eavesdropping, so she reminded Wangshu.
Wangshu quickly shut his mouth and followed Yun Wanrou into the room.
Yun Wanrou rejected Jiang Yan, and Yangyang was very happy.
As soon as Wangshu put her back into the small wooden bed, she climbed up, held onto the bed rails, and giggled at Yun Wanrou.
[Mother didn't fall for Jiang Yan's trick, my food supply is saved! ]
[Let me think about it. What can I eat with so much money? ]
【Iron pot stewed goose, big plate chicken, roast duck, donkey meat fire, spicy crayfish. 】
Hearing Yangyang constantly muttering the names of delicacies that she had hardly heard of, Yun Wanrou also felt a little hungry.
She slowly stood up and picked Yangyang up again.
"Wangshu, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion today."
Wangshu was slightly startled: "Madam, you just rejected Miss Yan'er, and you are going to the Zhenxiu Pavilion, isn't that a bad idea?"
"It's not that I don't want to lend it to her, it's that she herself doesn't think highly of these dozens of taels of silver.
We can go to the Treasure Pavilion for a meal, and it won't cost that much money, right?"
[Yes, yes, yes, a few dozen taels of silver can buy a lot of delicious food. ]
[She herself didn’t want to lend it, you can’t blame my mother! ]
[Mom, let’s go to the Treasure Pavilion and eat goose. Goose, goose, goose…]
As Yangyang was reciting, she began to imitate the sound of a goose.
Yun Wanrou almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Let's go!"
She suppressed the smile on her face and led Wangshu out.
As soon as the two left, Chu Qiu told Jiang Yan the news.
Jiang Yan stamped her feet in anger, her face turning red.
"I asked her to borrow money and she said she didn't have any. Now she has some when we go out to eat? This is too much. I'm so angry!"
"Who made my Yan'er angry?"
Jiang Huaishu's voice came slowly from outside.
When Jiang Yan saw him, she rushed forward and hugged him aggrievedly.
"Brother, you have to make the decision for me!"
Jiang Yan briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon.
Jiang Huaishu frowned and slowly pushed her away.
"What are you borrowing so much money for?"
"I...I need it urgently!"
Jiang Yan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes guiltily.
Chu Qiu frowned at her and cursed her in her heart as a fool.
Even if she wanted to file a complaint, Jiang Yan couldn't just say that she wanted to borrow so much money!
If she said less, could it be possible that Jiang Huaishu would be able to investigate it in detail?
That's so stupid!
"Yan'er, you live and eat in the Marquis' Mansion, so you hardly need to spend any money. You want so much money, are you... addicted to gambling?"
"Why do you say that too?"
Jiang Yan pouted, looking a little unhappy.
Jiang Huaishu is not so easy to fool.
Seeing that she was talking about something else, his face darkened and he said coldly: "Other than this, I really can't think of why you need so much money."
