Chen's heart ached to the point of bleeding: "Jiang Shi actually spent six thousand taels of silver on Yu Tanqi! What a wasteful thing!"
The Jiang family hasn't spent so much in half a year!
She only dared to buy jewelry in Song Pavilion that cost less than one hundred taels of silver, and she only dared to look at those worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. But Yu Tanqi actually bought it right away!
Jiang Shi really dared to buy it for her!
Jiang Qi's face also looked unhappy, he kept silent with a gloomy face.
Chen said angrily, "No, I have to go to the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. Yu Tanqi has only been here for a few days and she's already spent six thousand taels of silver. At this rate, she'll squander all the money in the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion sooner or later. Does she really think the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion belongs to her?!"
Jiang Qi said in a deep voice: "Come back, can you enter the Wu'an Marquis Mansion now?"
Chen paused, thinking about how the Jiang family had been turned away from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion for the past few days, no matter what they said, she said anxiously, "Then what should we do? Master, please think of a solution. Are we going to just sit there and watch that little bitch Yu Tanqi squander all the money from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion? That's all our money!"
Over the years, Chen had taken away many good things from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and decorated them at home. Whenever there were guests at home, they would envy and praise the good things in her house.
This made her very proud, and she was extremely greedy and wanted to get everything in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She dreamed of becoming the marquis's wife and being surrounded by people to flatter her.
But she had been dreaming about this for more than ten years, and she was still just a wife of a small official who was not even qualified to attend the palace banquet.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Shi, who was born but not raised by his mother, actually spent so much money on an outsider. Why didn't he spend thousands of taels of silver on us, his blood relatives?"
Jiang Qi sneered, "Over the years, we've flattered Jiang Shi so much that he's forgotten his own last name. How can he possibly support the vast Wu'an Marquisate alone? It's time to let him know that besides us, he has no one to rely on."
Chen's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Master, you are finally going to..."
Jiang Qi said in a deep voice, "After the Spring Examination, it will be the best time to take action."
Jiang Yongcun walked over at this time, smelling of rouge and powder, and there was lip balm left by the woman on his face.
"Dad, can our family move to the Marquis' Mansion soon?" He was very excited when he heard what Jiang Qi and Chen said.
Chen smiled and said, "Of course, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion will soon be ours."
"Great, I will live in Jiang Shi's Shaoguang Courtyard then!" Jiang Yongcun knew that he couldn't live in the main courtyard because his parents were around, so he set his eyes on Shaoguang Courtyard where Jiang Shi lived.
He had disliked Jiang Shi since he was a child, because Jiang Shi was handsome and was born the noble son of Marquis Wu'an. He always wanted to take away everything from Jiang Shi.
He couldn't help but laugh at the thought that everything Jiang Shi had would soon be lost.
The twilight has become blurred and the sky is gradually losing its color.
Jiang Qin and Qin Shi next door were also angry about Jiang Shi's extravagant spending of money on Yu Tanqi.
Qin said angrily, "Even a girl's dowry wouldn't be worth six thousand taels of silver, and Jiang Shi actually spent it all on Yu Tanqi like that!"
Although Jiang Qin's official rank was one level higher than Jiang Qi's, both of them were civil servants with little benefits and power. Their monthly salary was just a small amount. If they hadn't frequently gone to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to beg for good things and money, the Jiang family's facilities would not have been as luxurious as they are today.
It's just a big place with luxurious installations. Many people praise it on the surface, but actually turn around and laugh at them for being "all show and no substance".
Qin was still feeling happy because she thought she was good at managing the household. She had only one daughter, Jiang Huicen, whom she loved very much. She thought that the dowry she prepared for her must not be shabby. She had already calculated the property of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and was determined to give Jiang Huicen a portion of it as a dowry when she got married.
Now, when she heard that Jiang Shi had spent six thousand taels on Yu Tanqi at once, she felt that her "silver" was less and her daughter's dowry was also less. She wanted to rush to Wu'an Marquis Mansion and curse Yu Tanqi as a vixen.
"She's said to be from a wealthy family, but what kind of girl would squander other men's money like that? I think she's just a frivolous vixen, even the usually docile and obedient Jiang Shi is completely captivated by her!"
The more Qin spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could find a Taoist priest to take Yu Tanqi away immediately.
"Okay, talk less." Jiang Qin glanced at her and said lightly, "After all, she is still in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. She bought the things and she can't take them away."
Qin's eyes lit up and she smiled brightly again: "Yes, the master is really smart."
Once they obtain the title of Marquis of Wu'an, the entire Marquis of Wu'an Mansion will be theirs.
Jiang Shi’s things will belong to their son, and Yu Tanqi’s things will belong to their daughter.
I heard that Yu Tanqi brought hundreds of taels of dowry into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
Qin's eyes became more greedy.
…
The night is like water.
Yu Tanqi suddenly sneezed and thought to herself, who is scolding her?
Linlang said nervously, "Miss, you're only wearing a shirt. It's cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold. You should go to bed and rest quickly."
Yu Tanqi shook his head: "I can't sleep."
She glanced out the window. The bright moon and the twinkling stars in the sky created a scene of tranquility and peace.
"Linlang, come for a walk with me."
"yes."
Linlang had no choice but to put an outer coat on Yu Tanqi, holding a lantern, and followed her out of Luqi Courtyard.
This was the first time that Yu Tanqi visited the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion at night.
There were very few servants in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, and the servants on duty at night were all guarding the gate of the mansion, so she did not see any other servants.
But she knew that there were many people guarding this mansion in places she couldn't see.
As he walked, Yu Tanqi arrived at Shaoguangyuan where Jiang Shi lived.
The door was closed and she stood at the door, without moving or making a sound.
Linlang stood quietly behind the girl without saying a word.
Yu Tanqi was wondering, what would Jiang Shi be doing at this time?
He probably hasn't slept yet.
Maybe he is reading and writing in the study, planning for the future.
Yu Tanqi felt that her worries were unnecessary. She knew the direction of the plot. The dangers that Jiang Shi was about to encounter were all part of his plan, and nothing would happen to him.
She shook her head and turned to leave when the door suddenly creaked open.
Jiang Shi appeared at the door holding a lantern.
"Miss Yu?" The boy's gentle and pleasant voice was filled with a hint of surprise.
Yu Tanqi paused, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating. She didn't dare to look back at him, her voice a little stiff: "...Prince."
Under the night sky, the boy's eyes were as bright as stars, reflecting the girl's appearance.
"Miss Yu, you can't sleep either, so why don't you go out for a walk?" he asked with a smile.
"Yeah." She responded softly, still with her head down, feeling very embarrassed.
"The scenery of the Marquis' Mansion at night is quiet and peaceful. Miss Yu, could you please walk with me?"
