After giving birth to twelve daughters in succession, she finally welcomed her only son Liu Shuchao. Liu Shuchao's biological mother was a concubine, and now he is fostered under the name of his mother Zhou Dongwei.
The eldest daughter of the Liu family is already twenty-two years old, and the youngest is only eight years old.
Liu Yushi and his wife, who had a son born in childhood, spoiled the child beyond measure.
Therefore, Guan Yueru would rather give the banknote and let the matter go than get too entangled with his family.
"There is another reason." Mrs. Dong hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Qian Chunhua.
Qian Chunhua was muttering in his heart that Zhou Dongwei was really magnanimous and could treat the child born by the concubine as her own.
"What's the reason?"
"Liu Changshi has always wanted to establish a relationship with my family." Guan Yueru paused and spoke.
In the eyes of everyone in the Dong family, they are just a piece of fat meat, the kind that is so fat that it is juicy.
As the chief historian of the royal palace, Liu Yushi must make plans for King Yongning.
If King Yongning wants to do something, he needs not only people but also money, the more the better.
"She is very low-key outside, and her family business is gradually being consolidated." Guan Yueru treated Qian Chunhua as her own and revealed all these private matters.
"The Dong family does not want to be involved in the struggle for imperial power. Last time... last time Cong'er was kidnapped, we all thought it was done by Prince Yongning at the beginning. Fortunately..."
No wonder Qian Chunhua understood Mrs. Dong's concerns.
If I had to pay fifty taels of silver as compensation, I would definitely choose the simplest option.
At Liu's house, Liu Yushi returned home angrily with Zhou Dongwei.
"You...you...you, you've ruined my business." Liu Yushi pointed at Zhou Dongwei in front of him, shaking with anger. "You're so proud of this little money."
If it weren't for my father-in-law, I would have divorced this short-sighted woman long ago.
It was all thanks to his father-in-law that Liu Yushi was able to take the position of Chief Secretary of King Yongning.
If King Yongning ascends to the throne in the future, their whole family will be blessed with great fortune, and the money they gain will be far more than just a hundred taels of silver.
"How did I let you down?" Zhou Dongwei was totally confused.
"Do you know who that gorgeously dressed woman is?" Liu Yu Shi looked at his wife angrily. Day by day, she was obsessed with money.
She really takes after her father, who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and always talks about money all the time.
With just one hundred taels of silver, if you can really achieve the feat of following the dragon, you can divide up the whole world. Why would you still want this little bit of silver?
This is truly a woman's perspective. Liu Yushi was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Zhou Dongwei's eyes widened, and she put her hands on her hips, "Who is it? Who do I care who she is? Are you thinking of taking a concubine because she's pretty?"
Liu Yushi looked helpless. He talked to her about one thing but she insisted on talking about something else. It was really like talking to a deaf person.
"She is Dong Xishan's wife. Now you know who she is, right?" Liu Yushi yelled angrily.
"Dong Xishan, Dong Xishan from Dafeng Bank?" Mrs. Liu was surprised. "If I had known, I would have asked for five hundred taels."
Liu Changshi was so angry that he stormed out, like playing the lute to a cow.
Looking at her husband's leaving back, Zhou Dongwei was at a loss. She didn't know what she had done wrong.
Although my husband was the chief secretary of Prince Yongning, his salary was only five hundred taels.
Adding the silver he earned from other places, he only had one thousand taels left.
Although I earn a lot, the household expenses are also high.
There were eight concubines, each of whom was to be paid three taels of silver a month. There were twelve daughters, except for those who were already married, each of the remaining daughters was to be paid two taels of silver a month.
There is also a family of old and young living together. Which of their food and daily necessities does not cost money?
The world is in trouble nowadays and prices are skyrocketing.
The Liu family can continue to live a prosperous life as before, isn't it all thanks to his capable stewardship?
Not only did he not praise himself, he was also angry at himself.
Zhou Dongwei felt very aggrieved...
Woo woo woo..., Zhou Dongwei was so angry that she immediately wrote a letter to her father to complain.
