Chapter 366: The bride I married later is not as good as my son
Even if Zhao Chengliang was a dandy and useless person.
"Yes, of course I understand. I am already happy to receive your love. It doesn't matter that all these things of the Zhao family belong to the eldest son. I will leave what your master has given me to my sons."
"Sir, the words I said to the eldest son may have been cruel, but I just wanted him to wake up."
"No need to say more. You don't have to worry about Cheng Liang's affairs anymore."
Gao Wanxin hesitated and hummed, "Gao, I understand."
"Sir, I'll go get dinner ready. It's getting late."
Zhao Xuan said nothing else.
Everything was made clear, and she had nothing to hide.
The relationship between her and Zhao Xuan seemed to be a little weaker than before, but Gao Wanxin didn't care because she was busy with the silk business now.
She had led people to make a batch of silk fabrics and sold them all to Yunqiao's department store at a much better price, so she naturally made money.
In addition, Gao Wanxin opened a restaurant with Mai Dong. She invested some money in Yier's name, and the future profits from this money will also belong to Yier.
As for Yu Ge'er, he is still young and does not need money at the moment.
When Yi'er was three years old, Gao Wanxin hired a private school teacher to enlighten the child.
Yier has started studying.
This child is very talented, perhaps he inherited Zhao Xuan's good genes. He is very good at studying. If he has any academic difficulties, he will take the initiative to ask his father for help.
Zhao Xuan is now a Grand Secretary. If it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince is his grandson, the emperor would also want Zhao Xuan to teach the child.
The eldest prince will be the future crown prince, and the teachers who will teach him are selected in advance.

Maidong saw that Gao Wanxin was not in a good mood these days, so she came to her more often and stayed here much longer.
She ate the black chicken soup that Gao Wanxin brought her and watched her holding her son and playing with him.
"But have you encountered any trouble in your business?" Mai Dong asked.
"No, it's fine. Her Royal Highness has accepted all the goods I made, whether it's fabric or silk quilts. It's just..."
"Just what?" Mai Dong asked, "You can tell me anything, there's no need to hide anything. Besides our current relationship, we are also friends."
Gao Wanxin suddenly said, "Tell me, if I hadn't married you, but married an ordinary man, and we had lived an ordinary life, wouldn't we have no worries?"
"No," Mai Dong replied bluntly. "Do you really think ordinary people don't have worries? Ordinary people may have more worries, and they may have more troubles and troubles because of money. You don't necessarily marry Zhao Xuan for so-called love. At least he can ensure that you have enough food and clothing, and that your children will not be of low birth."
"Wanxin, do you still believe in that so-called love?"
Gao Wanxin stared at Mai Dong, "Why do I feel like you're so transparent?"
"You and Lu Yu have such a good relationship. You are so close and loving. Is there no love between you?"
Maidong suddenly laughed.
"What kind of love is that? We just feel that we're quite suitable for each other. We don't dislike each other, and maybe we do like each other. But we're not the type to get caught up in emotions. Living for others is not as good as living for yourself. Only by living for yourself can you live comfortably."
Gao Wanxin didn't react for a long time. It was only after the little one in her arms cried a few times that Gao Wanxin came back to her senses.
"Relationships are really bad. I should be like you."
"Mai Dong, between me and the eldest young master, the master will choose the eldest young master instead of me. Everything he has will be given to the eldest young master in the future. My Yi'er and Yu'er may not get anything."
"I just realized now that I can't just rely on adults. If adults get old, who can we rely on?"
Gao Wanxin was in a very low mood when she said this.
It's like seeing disappointment and unreliability in someone whom I trust very much but who is not worthy of my trust.
"Wanxin, are you in a bad mood? I've just finished my postpartum confinement and have nothing to do recently. Let's go outside and fly a kite."
"Your master is not a simple-minded person. He likes you, but he won't like you to interfere in his son's affairs. You just need to take care of your own son. I think Yi'er is very smart. He will study hard in the future and may not necessarily follow the Zhao family."
The Zhao family may not be ruined in the hands of Zhao Chengliang. Who knows, in the future the Zhao family may have to rely on Yier?
Who can predict what will happen in the future?
After being enlightened by Mai Dong, Gao Wanxin thought about it carefully and realized that since she could not rely on Zhao Xuan to protect her and her son, she had to be more independent and self-reliant. If she protected her son now, her son would be able to protect her in the future.
As Maidong said, her son may not be able to live a better life in the future.
Maybe he is even more capable than Zhao Xuan.
"Mai Dong, you have to come. I particularly like what you say. I'm lucky to have you in this Zhao family. Otherwise, I would have been sad for a long time."
Mai Dong laughed and said, "I'm just an outsider standing outside and seeing things more clearly."
"Don't worry about the Zhao family's affairs. Just take care of yourself and your son. Let them handle the rest. Lord Zhao is here anyway. Doesn't he want you to meddle in the affairs of the eldest son, Zhao Chengliang's family?"
That's what I said.
But if Gao Wanxin really didn't care about anything and let the eldest son's family do whatever they wanted, if something really happened, Zhao Xuan and even Old Madam Zhao would say that it was her fault as the mistress of the house for not managing the household well.
Just thinking about it made Gao Wanxin feel uncomfortable.
It just so happened that Zhao Xuan knew a lot about her, as they were an old man and a young wife, and he was wary of her when it came to family property.
He treated her as a little girl who couldn't handle anything. If he didn't give her authority, she naturally wouldn't be able to manage things well.
However, Mai Dong's words also reminded her that it would be better to just ignore it. If something happened to the Zhao family in the future, Zhao Xuan would just say a few words to her. It was better than avoiding her now. Gao Wanxin was also worried that if she and Zhao Xuan continued to struggle like this, the only remaining relationship between them would be destroyed.
In mid-May, the weather was just right, neither too cold nor too hot. Maidong took his son Heng'er, and Gao Wanxin took her sons Yi'er and Yu'er, as well as a large group of servants, to go for an outing in the suburbs.
Maidong and Gao Wanxin both have farms in the suburbs, but Maidong's dowry farm was purchased by the Marquis's Mansion. It is very large and has 200 acres of land.
Gao Wanxin's farm is a little smaller, with some fruit trees in it. All together, it is only about a hundred acres.
There was only one servant that the family bought later to look after the yard.
I arrived there today, thinking of staying one night at the manor, so I sent a message in advance, and the people at the manor had already arranged accommodation for me.
Because the flowers at Gao Wanxin's farm were in full bloom this season, we went to her Peach Blossom Farm.
