The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Jiang Nanqiu had also heard the rumors, about how much money the second and third wives had embezzled from the public treasury.

Wang turned a blind eye to these minor quarrels. Besides, the most important thing now was the child in Jiang Nanqiu's belly, and she didn't want to ruin her relationship with the people in the second and third rooms.

"Your Majesty is of a clear mind, and you should understand better than me that the water is too clear to hold fish."

After hearing this, Jing Anzhi smiled with relief, then put his arms around Jiang Nanqiu's waist, gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, and said, "Madam is right. I have learned my lesson."

Jiang Nanqiu considered the second and third wives in this way. One reason was that she was pregnant and did not want to cause unnecessary troubles, and the other was that she cared about the relationship between the two relatives. But what she did not know was that once a person's heart was infiltrated by money, it was equivalent to losing reason.

When Wang was the housekeeper, she had the power to control the second and third rooms, so she didn't mind the second and third rooms making more money. But now Jiang Nanqiu is the housekeeper.

Because she was worried that Jiang Nanqiu's new daughter-in-law was too young to control the old hands in the second and third rooms, Wang simply played the bad guy. Before handing over the power of management to Jiang Nanqiu, she had swiftly removed the managers of the second and third rooms.

So when Mrs. Sun from the second house and Mrs. Zhao from the third house learned about this, it was as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

Both of them married useless husbands who had no ability to study and become officials. They could only rely on the powerful figure of the Duke of Zhenguo to get some benefits.

However, Wang's illness cut off their source of income.

How could the Sun and Zhao families give up?

Once a person's nausea is filled with greed, he will never be satisfied.

At this time, Sun and Zhao forgot that the family business of the Zhenguo Mansion was built by Jingdeshan and Wang. They had made a profit, but they were not satisfied with it, so their appetite grew bigger and bigger.

Late at night, Sun came to the third room with an indignant look on her face to look for Zhao. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but curse, "It's fine if the eldest sister-in-law asked Jiang to be the housekeeper, but why did she send all the maids around us back? Isn't this a slap in our face?"

Zhao's personality was not as aggressive as Sun's, but she also loved money like her life and was waiting for Sun to make a big scene.

"Isn't it? Back then, you helped my eldest sister-in-law with the household affairs. Even if you didn't make any contributions, you still worked hard. Now my eldest sister-in-law is so ruthless. You are just destroying the bridge after crossing it."

Zhao's actions added fuel to the fire, and Sun's rage became even more intense.

After the two of them discussed it, they decided not to go to Wang to cause trouble, so they decided to start with Jiang Nanqiu, who was easy to talk to.

Sun was the first to act. She took Sister Wan to Qiulan Pavilion.

At this time, Jiang Nanqiu was settling accounts with Wang Ruyue. Wang Ruyue was about to marry into the Zhenguo Mansion and would be Jiang Nanqiu's sister-in-law in the future. It would be a good thing for the two of them to manage the household affairs together and help each other.

As soon as Sun entered the room, Wang Ruyue stepped aside and no longer interfered with the account book matter.

She politely served tea to Sun, and wanted to carry Sister Wan to the ear room to eat cakes. This was supposed to be an intimate act, but Sun frowned and blocked Wang Ruyue's way, "Our Sister Wan is not feeling well, let her sit for another hundred years."

Wang Ruyue had no choice but to take it back, with only embarrassment left on her face.

Jiang Nanqiu couldn't bear to see this, so he asked Yu'er to pick some cakes and said to Wang Ruyue, "Please go to Duojingtai for me and deliver these cakes to my third brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, the maids in the room all looked at Wang Ruyue with a smile.

Wang Ruyue's cheeks turned red. After taking the pastry, she left Qiulan Pavilion like a puff of smoke.

Sun felt very uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Nanqiu being so intimate with Wang Ruyue. She quietly glanced at Wan Jie'er, and Wan Jie'er immediately burst into tears. This sudden cry was very sharp and abrupt, which scared Jiang Nanqiu and others.

After Sister Wan cried for a while, Jiang Nanqiu frowned and asked Sun, "What happened to Sister Wan?"

Sun said with a sad look on her face, "It's her father who is confused. He always says that Wanjie is plumper than other girls and doesn't let her eat cakes and soup. This makes Wanjie cry all day at home. I am also very upset."

This was a meaningful remark. It was not the Second Master who was confused, it was clearly Sun who was using Sister Wan to cry poor to Jiang Nanqiu.

Jiang Nanqiu knew the situation clearly and did not respond. She just said, "The child is still growing up. If she wants to eat, she should be allowed to eat." Then, Jiang Nanqiu asked Rong Mama to pick out two boxes of cakes for Wan Jie'er to eat.

How could Sun be sent away with just two boxes of cakes? She glanced at Jiang Nanqiu, who had a calm face, and continued, "Nanqiu, you don't know that our second house relies on the monthly allowance to make ends meet. Now that we are struggling financially, we have to put up with Sister Wan. When she went out to visit a guest yesterday, she almost made a very ugly fool of herself."

This was a threat to Jiang Nanqiu. If she didn't give the second room some benefits, she wasn't afraid of spreading the matter outside. Then people would misunderstand Jiang Nanqiu as a stingy person who had starved his cousin to the point of being in dire straits.

Only the Sun family could do such shameless and brutal things.

Jiang Nanqiu had expected this and only smiled faintly, "Sister Wan has an allowance of five taels of silver per month, and all her food is paid out of the public account. It stands to reason that five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend in a year. Second aunt, you should also be more careful about the wet nurse and maids behind Sister Wan. Who knows, they might be deceiving their superiors and stealing Sister Wan's monthly allowance. Otherwise, where did the five taels of silver go?"

These words were very powerful. Sun was speechless for a moment. Her face was extremely pale. She never thought that Jiang Nanqiu, who looked easy to bully, could be so sharp-tongued.

If she said she didn't know where the five taels of silver went, she would be known as a lax ruler. But if she said she knew where the five taels of silver went, she could no longer use Wan Jie'er's name to ask for money.

At this moment, Sun was in a dilemma. Seeing her unhappy face, Jiang Nanqiu understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a slap.

So she smiled and teased Sister Wan, asked Yu'er to pick out two pieces of the best brocade, and said, "This is a little gift from me. Let Sister Wan make two sets of clothes."

Sun left angrily.

Sun's appearance really frightened Wan Jie'er, and she didn't want to get angry in front of Niu Rong, so she took her trusted nanny to the third room, Zhao.

Zhao already knew that Sun had returned empty-handed, so she told her about Jiang Nanqiu's disrespect to her a few days ago.

"I thought she was a woman from a small family who was easy to control, but I didn't expect she was such a troublemaker. Our lives will be difficult from now on."

Sun became even angrier after hearing this. "Are we just going to sit there and wait for death? Once this profit is cut off, what will our second and third wives do in the future?"

At this time, Sun's trusted nanny, Nanny Wu, smiled and said, "Madam, I have a plan."

Both Sun and Zhao looked at her.

Nanny Wu said, "I have some friendship with the servant of the Jiang family. I heard from her that our wife had some unclear relationship with the eldest young master of the Yan family before she married into our family." At this point, she added, "I think the wife of the prince can act so arrogantly because of the love of the prince. If this love is gone, what can she do as a concubine without the support of her mother's family? Will she not be manipulated by the two ladies?"

Nanny Wu's idea was very simple. Since Jiang had a relationship with the thug of the Yan family, then there must be servants in the Jiang family who knew the inside story. The Jiang family was just a small family, and Sun and Zhao could use Jiang's servants for their own use by spending a little money.
