The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 191 The Emperor will interfere with his nephew’s family affairs

After Li Ling came out of the tent, Xu Wanning took off the mink velvet on her body, threw it aside, and muttered: "It's too hot in this tent. Sitting here, I can't wear this thing."

The third girl glanced at Xu Wanning's untied mink fur and said casually: "Sister-in-law, this mink fur is shiny and the workmanship is so meticulous. Is it your new one?"

Seeing the third girl mentioning this, Xu Wanning picked up the mink velvet again and said with a smile: "I just made it the day before yesterday. This fur is actually better than the previous ones."

Such a fine mink velvet cloak is worth several thousand taels of silver each. The third girl curled her lips and joked: "Sister-in-law has made six or seven mink velvet cloaks this winter, right?"

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "If you like it, I will give you two pieces each when I go back."

Jingshu echoed: "You are so generous these days, I'm afraid your shops and fields have harvested a lot this year."

Xu Wanning patted Jingshu's hand, glanced at the third girl on the side and said, "Look, your second sister-in-law is indeed the boss, she can tell the mystery at a glance."

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "Last year, I collected two farms with 400 to 500 acres of fertile land. Early in the morning, I heard people say that floods occur every year in the south, the epidemic is severe, and the medicinal materials on the market are often out of stock. This spring, I ordered them to

The two newly-harvested villages have all planted medicinal herbs, waiting for the harvest in the fall."

Xu Wanning deliberately kept her secret and said to Jingshu and the third girl: "Guess how much I earned, you two?"

The third girl's eyes widened, she raised two trembling fingers, and said hesitantly: "Twenty thousand taels?"

Jing Shu thought for a while and guessed: "It's probably no less than 70,000 to 80,000 taels."

Xu Wanning smiled and stretched out two palms towards them: "A whole hundred thousand taels."

Even though the third girl, who had the support of the princess mother, heard this number, her eyes widened. She was so surprised that she could stuff an egg in her mouth: "Sister-in-law, you are so capable, aren't you?"

Xu Wanning fiddled with the purple gold silk bracelet on her wrist and said proudly: "This does not include the shops that I have carefully run. This year, my real estate shops have made at least two to three hundred thousand yuan in revenue."

The third girl put her arms around Xu Wanning and said, "You are so smart about making money! Sister-in-law, you are really a hero among women. I admire you! I admire you!"

Xu Wanning sighed and said with a smile: "Unlike your second sister-in-law, I am protected by your second brother everywhere. I have to rely on myself for everything. If I don't work hard, how can I succeed?"

She patted the third girl on the head: "These heroes among women are all women who have no support and are forced to be strong. So, in the future, you have to keep your eyes open when looking for a husband. Find someone who really cares about you. Naturally, you don't need to be yourself."

Please take the trouble."

Jing Shu interrupted Xu Wanning and said, "Don't teach the children bad things."

She said to the third girl: "Women still need to be self-reliant. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else."

Xu Wanning joked: "You are standing and talking without hurting your back. In this world, if your husband is not willing to love you and think about you, no matter how strong a woman is, how strong can she be? Just like me, if it weren't for a tall man

With the support of my mother-in-law, that old boy Li Xian might have reconciled with me long ago. If he was divorced, what could I do if I wanted to be strong? I would rather go to the family temple to eat fast and chant Buddha's name."

The eldest sister-in-law has a fierce temper. Even if she can't rely on her eldest brother, she can still make a lot of money. This is a kind of strength. The second sister-in-law is quiet and reserved, and can rely on her heart and soul to hold on to such a cold second brother. Although she is not from a high family background,

But he can use his wisdom to conquer the whole family. This is a kind of strength that is more tenacious and lasting.

The third girl looked at the two sisters-in-law who were arguing over her, and said with a smile: "Then in the future I will not only be like the second sister-in-law, find a husband who knows how to love others, but also be like the elder sister-in-law, be self-reliant and make money. This way.

, I just can’t suffer any loss.”

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning were made to laugh by the three girls.

The three sisters and sister-in-law were talking carefully here, and the tent curtain was suddenly opened.

A familiar and delicate voice sounded: "I'm coming in like this, so I won't disturb you, right?"

The three of them looked up and saw that it was none other than Ninth Princess Qingluan.

Qingluan entered the tent, with a smile on his face, and said lightly to Jingshu: "I saw that there was no one at the door, so I walked in on my own. My second cousin sister-in-law would not fail to welcome me."

When the third girl saw Qingluan, her originally smiling face darkened, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Wanning, who was sitting next to her.

Xu Wanning's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say, so she turned her head and looked at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu looked at Qingluan, with no expression on her face. She just replied lightly: "Cousin Huang, come and sit down."

Qingluan sat over with a dull face. She looked at Jingshu and asked, "Where is my cousin?"

Xu Wanning and the third girl didn't know what she was thinking. They were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Jing Shu.

Jing Shu said calmly: "My husband went hunting with His Highness the Crown Prince. Is there something wrong with my cousin looking for her husband?"

Qingluan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Listen to what my cousin said, can't I come to look for my cousin if nothing happens?"

What he said was really shocking.

It is extremely inappropriate for a princess who has grown up to have haircuts to find a man for nothing, even if she is a cousin.

The third girl glanced at Qingluan in surprise, with a worried look on her face, and asked: "Cousin, are you sick again these days?"

This royal cousin has been weak since she was born. Last winter she stayed at the house for a few days and she would cry inexplicably. Now she seems to be in a bad state of mind.

It’s really scary!

Xu Wanning glanced at Jing Shu, with a look of surprise on her face, and asked Qingluan tentatively: "What kind of wrong has the emperor's cousin suffered?"

Facing the inquiries from the third girl and Xu Wanning, Qingluan did not answer. Her eyes swept across their faces and landed directly on Jingshu's face.

She raised her head slightly and said with a half-smile: "I am a princess, who dares to suffer unjustly for me?"

She stared straight at Jingshu and asked, "Second cousin sister-in-law, do you think so?"

Jing Shu knew that she was narrow-minded and stubborn, and that even arguing was a waste of time, so she just smiled helplessly and did not answer her words.

When Qingluan saw that Jingshu ignored her, she was not annoyed. She stood up and said to Jingshu: "I came to talk to my cousin about something. Since my cousin is not here, I will leave."

With that said, she started to walk out.

Qingluan walked a few steps, then turned back, still looking straight at Jingshu, with a smile on his face, and said in a provocative tone: "Since my cousin can't give birth to an heir for my cousin, why don't you give up your position as soon as possible.

"

She paused and said with a smile: "Even if you don't want to give up the throne now, my father and aunt won't tolerate you anymore. We'll just wait and see."

After saying that, she straightened her waist and walked out of the tent with her head half raised.

After Qingluan left for a while, several people recovered from their shock.

The third girl looked at Xu Wanning and then at Jing Shu, stroking her chest and saying, "What's wrong with cousin Huang? Is there something wrong with her mind?"

Xu Wanning twitched her lips: "She looks quite scary."

The third girl asked in confusion: "Why does she keep asking for the second brother? Could it be that she was wronged in the palace again and wants the second brother to stand up for her?"

Naturally, Xu Wanning could not imagine that Qingluan, a noble princess, would fall in love with Li Ling, who was already married. This was a serious crime. No one would or would dare to think about it.

She said with a sneer: "It must be so. I may have suffered so much injustice this time that the emperor's cousin is not in good spirits."

Jing Shu sat aside, listening to the exchanges between Xu Wanning and the third girl. Although she remained silent, she couldn't help but make calculations in her heart.

Qingluan said that the emperor and mother-in-law would not tolerate her. What on earth was going on?

Could it be that the emperor would interfere with his nephew's family background, or that the eldest princess could not tolerate her daughter-in-law, who was unable to have children.

If it was true as Qingluan said, then she should have thought of some countermeasures earlier.
