Chapter 314: Thinking of Her Coffin
You old fool, you want me to take out money to support the second wife, you are crazy!
She wished that everyone in the second house would die, so how could she possibly come up with the money? Even if she had the money, she wouldn't give it.
Liu was afraid that Kang would continue to ask more questions, so she continued, "Now you want us to give 10,000 taels to the first house to make up for the second house. Isn't this asking for the life of the master and me?"
"If the old lady really wants us to take the money, then we can only use Yunrou's dowry. But I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to talk to her."
She lowered her head and did not make eye contact with Old Kang. She wanted to see if Old Kang would be willing to sacrifice his old face and use the dowry money of his younger generation.
At the same time, she was also reminding Mrs. Kang that what Mrs. Kang said about having no money might not be true. Could it be that Mrs. Kang did not save any dowry for Su Lihan?
It was only natural to use Su Lihan's dowry to save his mother and elder brother.
Old Mrs. Kang was angry again. She closed her eyes and tried hard to suppress her anger.
Liu, this shameless woman, actually asked me to ask my granddaughter for her dowry. What was she thinking?
How could she, the old lady of a marquis's mansion, do such a thing?
If people find out about this, they will definitely poke her in the back.
"Forget it. I've figured it out. You're all eyeing my little coffin money. If you don't empty it out for me, you'll be upset."
Old Kang said coldly.
But after hearing this, Liu pursed her lips. Their first branch did not gain any benefits from the old lady. The ones who really benefited were the second branch.
"aunt!"
Xiaokang wanted to say something but stopped herself and lowered her head.
If I could just manage the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion myself, why would I need to beg others for help?
For a moment, Xiaokang felt mixed emotions and was very uncomfortable.
Old Mrs. Kang knew that she could not keep the ten thousand taels. She took two deep breaths, calmed herself down, and glanced at Su Yueqi who was lying on the bed.
That's it!
They couldn't just let Su Yueqi lie there like this. If anything happened to him, the hope of their mansion would be gone.
"Madam Xu, go get 10,000 taels of silver and give it to the fourth girl. Tell her to invite the apprentice of the miracle doctor here."
"Yes! I will go now."
Madam Xu walked out quickly.
Old Kang sat for a while, but Su Yueqi still didn't wake up, so she stood up and said, "Alright! Let someone take good care of Yueqi. If you are worried, just stay here. Liu, help me go back."
Liu was unhappy, but she still came over and supported old Kang.
"Madam, you are the one who cares about your second brother and his wife. No one else's ancestor can compare to you." Liu complimented.
Old Mrs. Kang was not happy about what Mrs. Liu said. She had lost another 12,000 taels of silver today and was in a bad mood at all. She also had no appetite for dinner after returning home.
Nanny Xu took the banknote and hurriedly handed it to Su Qingwan.
When Su Qingwan saw that the banknotes were sent by Nanny Xu, she knew that the money belonged to the old lady.
"I understand. Madam Xu, go back and tell Grandmother Kang that I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning and will definitely invite the genius doctor's disciple to come."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Fourth. I will take my leave." Nanny Xu hurried back to report.
"Linxiang, keep the banknotes. We will need them when we go to the palace tomorrow."
When it comes to acting, you have to do the whole thing.
"Sister, I will accompany you to the palace tomorrow." Su Yuewu came over and said, the palace is more fun, home is boring.
"Okay, let Xiaonian take your pulse first." Su Qingwan said to him.
"Oh!" Su Yuewu didn't think too much about it. He stretched out his arm and let Xiaonian take his pulse. He had already finished taking all the pills his sister gave him, but didn't notice any changes. He was still no match for his sister.
After a careful examination, Xiao Nian said, "Miss, the young master is in good health, there is nothing wrong."
Su Qingwan looked at Su Yuewu with a smile and said, "By the way, don't you have to go to Master Wu tomorrow?"
"No need to go. I can answer all the questions he asked these days. Now he likes me much more than before. Hehehe, he even gave me a new military book and asked me to memorize it. He will check me next time."
Su Yuewu felt that he had recently found the knack of reading. The military books that he could not memorize before, he could now memorize them all after reading them several times.
"Then you must remember everything, or you will be outdone by the Li family cousins."
Su Qingwan was finally relieved that her brother had finally recovered.
The next day, the weather was sunny and there was a slight breeze when I went out, bringing a hint of coolness.
Su Qingwan's carriage slowly went to Prince Yi's mansion, and the news of her leaving the mansion was quickly delivered to Rong'an Hall.
Upon hearing this, Old Kang snorted.
"She should have gone yesterday, but she kept putting it off until today. She didn't take my orders seriously at all."
"Madam, don't be angry. The fourth young lady has always been like this." Madam Xu consoled.
She felt that in this Marquis' Mansion, Su Qingwan would probably only listen to a word or two from the old Marquis, and she didn't care at all about what others said.
Old Mrs. Kang narrowed her eyes. Mrs. Jiang raised a good daughter. Such a daughter would have no trouble finding a husband. She had to help her find a good husband.
Su Qingwan had no idea that old Mrs. Kang had set her sights on her marriage. She had already entered the palace and was about to meet the old princess.
"With the emperor's words, I feel relieved. I will write an IOU to the emperor and ask him to deduct the money from Li Gongqiu's salary."
The old princess spoke righteously and repeatedly ordered people to bring pen and ink.
Su Qingwan, who had just walked in, almost laughed out loud when she heard what her aunt said.
"Old Princess, this is the emperor's private property, not the money from the national treasury. It cannot be deducted from Lord Li's salary."
Li Yuncheng did not expect that the old princess would make such a ridiculous request.
But the old princess's crying after entering the palace yesterday completely softened the emperor's heart, so he asked him to deliver silver and money to the palace early in the morning, which was more than the amount the old princess borrowed yesterday.
Moreover, he believed that the news that the old princess of Prince Yi's mansion risked her dignity to go to the palace to borrow money from the emperor in order to save the old prince's life must have spread. He was afraid that everyone in the capital was talking about it now.
"Aunt, what are you going to write?" Su Qingwan pretended not to hear what the two said and asked with a smile.
"Qingwan is here! I want to write an IOU to the emperor. He asked Yuncheng to send some life-saving silver over." The old princess said directly.
"Your Majesty is so kind!"
Su Qingwan looked at Li Yuncheng and smiled.
Li Yuncheng cupped his hands towards her in admiration. Although he did not say anything directly, his admiration was evident.
