In addition, he still had a solid fifty-tael silver note in his hand, and his son said that the hundred-tael debt had been paid off and they could build a house soon.
Therefore, Zhuang Zilan, his niece, immediately became unimportant.
Besides, she doesn't even know whether the child in her womb is a boy or a girl!
She could discard any of the children that Lady Chi had already given birth to, even if they were male.
Then she can do without that unborn baby even more!
Now that she has money and her son is successful, she wants a few grandchildren.
Even so, she felt somewhat sorry for Zilan.
But it's okay, there's plenty of time in the future, she'll find an opportunity to make it up to her slowly.
As for the fifty taels of compensation from the Xue family, she'll give them ten or eight taels later, which will be about right.
You know, when a girl from an ordinary family gets married, it's considered good if her family can give her one or two taels of silver as a dowry, let alone a widow like Zilan who is remarrying!
Thinking this, Madam Shen immediately said, "My son, it's still early."
Go out and find someone to ask to go to Xiaozhuang and call your aunt over.
Mother will take care of this matter perfectly for you.
Oh, by the way, nothing else, you can go back to the Zhong family's place first. Our place is in such a state, there's nowhere for you to sleep.
If you stay here, your aunt might have some reservations.
Seeing his mother's resolute words, Qi Mingyu thought that she probably wouldn't hold him back anymore, so he took out two taels of silver from the purse at his waist.
“Mother, since we are not yet engaged or married, the Xue family has given me a total of 250 taels of silver to handle these matters.”
I lived in the Zhong family's house. Although I didn't have to spend money on food, drink, writing materials, or inkstones, I still needed to buy something when I went out.
In addition, the servants should also be given a small tip occasionally.
So, I don't have much money left from the daily expenses the Xue family gave me. You can take these two taels for now.
Eat whatever you want, use whatever you want, just spend the money.
Now you and your father both need someone to take care of you. Although the clansmen are willing to come and take care of you out of respect for me.
But you have to give them a little something every now and then, and they'll be happy to serve you wholeheartedly, right?
Only by taking good care of you and Dad can you both recover faster, understand?
When Shen heard that the clansmen who had taken care of them were to receive benefits, she was unwilling.
But she also knew that what her son said was true.
She doesn't even own a house now, let alone have her son buy servants for her.
Even if she wants to buy it, she'll have to wait until the house is built and her daughter-in-law is married into the family before she can bring it up.
Therefore, she needs to recover faster.
Otherwise, lying like this all the time isn't a good thing.
"Okay, I know what to do. Nothing else, you can go back now!"
Qi Mingyu was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask again, "Mother, is it okay if you let my aunt handle Zhuang Zilan's matter?"
I was afraid my aunt would see the money and have designs on it. So I took the money, but moved Zhuang Zilan away instead of marrying her off.
When I pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, I'll have Zhuang Zilan bring the children to claim kinship and ask for favors.
Mother, you know how important reputation is after becoming an official.
If this really happens, my reputation will be ruined, my career will be over, and all the books I've read over the years will have been for nothing.
I think that if I become an official, it will only take me three to five years at most to climb the ranks.
I'll find a way to ask for an imperial decree for you, Mother."
Lady Shen dreamed of becoming a Lady of Imperial Decree, so she was willing to take the bait that Qi Mingyu was offering.
She immediately said confidently, "Don't worry, son. When your aunt comes over, I'll talk to her and promise her some benefits. It'll definitely work."
