My beloved wife is reborn, let's get divorced, Mr. Prime Minister
Chapter 42: She won't give in, there's no way you can trick her!
Shuqi clasped his hands together, bowed his head even deeper, and replied respectfully: "I dare not, please take back your order, Madam."
"If you dare not, just tell the Third Master that I went to Wanzhao Temple today to ask for this sachet and gave it to him."
Shuqi's ears were numb for a moment and his face turned red instantly. He didn't dare to look at Song Qingcheng and cursed himself for being so sentimental. He was usually quite smart, but why was his brain not so sharp when it came to the lady?
He quickly took the sachet and ran out of Chunjing Hall like a gust of wind, as if a vicious dog was chasing him.
Song Qingcheng thought so and gave the sachet to Pei Huaizhi. Pei Huaizhi could have as many babies with whomever he wanted, and she would be safe.
Song Qingcheng was about to leave, so Nanny Zhang had been packing her luggage until she saw the mutton-fat jade bracelet lying in the box.
"Miss, would you like to wear this bracelet? After all, it is a gift from the Third Master.
"Well, take it with you," Song Qingcheng replied, thinking of returning this precious thing to him.

Third sister-in-law, you are feeling better now!
I heard the voice before I saw the person. It turned out to be Grandma Wang Zhirou and Shen Tanxiang.
"Two sisters-in-law, come in quickly!"
Song Qingcheng stood up to greet him.
Grandma Wang Zhirou said to Shen Tanxiang: "Third sister-in-law's complexion looks much better than the day before. Seeing her like that yesterday really scared us."
Shen Tanxiang continued, "Isn't it? Not to mention us women, even the calm Third Master changed his expression. Third Sister-in-law may not have noticed, but the Third Master looked so disrespectful, and even Mother-in-law didn't dare to say a word."
“I still feel scared just thinking about it.”
Shen Tanxiang did not forget to pat her chest, thinking that after all the incident happened in Ninghe Hall, if anything happened to Song Qingcheng, it seemed that the Third Master would definitely break off relations with the Duke's Mansion, and by then the Duke's Mansion would be just an empty shell with only a title.
That's why she came here with her grandmother today. On the one hand, it was to see what the sisters-in-law were doing, on the other hand, she wanted to test Song Qingcheng's attitude, and thirdly, to express her own attitude. If anyone wanted to blame someone, blame Xie, not her.
As soon as Song Qingcheng saw them coming, she knew why they came. She had no choice but to admit it. The fact was that the first and second wives treated her so well, but it was only because of Pei Huaizhi's important role in the Duke's Mansion.
"I'm sorry to have worried my sisters-in-law. I'm fine, but the high fever from the typhoid fever caused me to have convulsions. Once the fever subsides, I won't be fully recovered."
"In this way, we can rest assured."
"It's a long journey to Jiangnan, so please take good care of yourself."
The grandmother was talking about this family matter, and then she changed her tone, as if she had something to hide, and was waiting for Song Qingcheng to ask about it.
However, Wang Zhirou had been performing for a while, and Song Qingcheng was just drinking tea calmly and didn't ask her what she meant. Wang Zhirou was embarrassed and didn't know how to start the conversation.
She calmly gave Shen Tanxiang a look, wanting Shen Tanxiang to take action. Shen Tanxiang usually just said a few sarcastic words and pretended to be innocent to achieve her goal, but she was not a complete fool.
They had clearly discussed it before they came. Although they were now jointly in charge of the household, most matters were still decided by Wang Zhirou, and Shen Tanxiang was just helping out.
Now they want her to be a bad person, but she won’t do it, Shen Tanxiang thought to herself.
Grandma Wang Zhirou felt like her eyes were cramping. Someone was pretending not to see anything. She was so angry that she almost died. But she was on someone else's territory and couldn't show it.
Song Qingcheng saw all the little movements of the two people, but did not take any action. She was happy to watch the show from the side. Whoever lost his temper first would be at a disadvantage.
"Master, come and see if you want to take these things with you."
Dongmei was the smartest one. Although she knew that her daughter was resourceful, she couldn't help but worry, so she found an excuse and called Song Qingcheng aside.
She lowered her voice and said, "Miss, be careful. I saw the eldest and second wives flirting with each other, and I don't know what they are planning."
Song Qingcheng smiled with eyes curved like a cunning fox, "I know!"
"Well, it's good for the girl to know what's going on."
In the flower hall outside, "Second brother's wife, what do you mean? Didn't we agree on this on the way here? Why didn't you listen to me just now?"
"Sister-in-law, we have discussed it. You said I should just agree with you, right? But in the end, I was the one who spoke first. I won't do it."
"Didn't you see? My third sister-in-law doesn't respond, so how can I speak again?"
“Then I can’t say anything more.”
"you!"
Wang Zhirou was very disappointed with her.
Shen Tanxiang coughed at this time, and Wang Zhirou closed her mouth at the right time, turned her head sideways and put on a decent smile on her face, "It seems that the Third Master and his wife are almost ready to go to Jiangnan this time."
Song Qingcheng replied: "Almost done"
Wang Zhirou nodded, "Okay, this time the Third Master is going to Jiangnan, the public office originally prepared 5,000 taels of silver for the Third Master, after all, a poor family has a rich road, but recently the silver that can be mobilized in the mansion is only 2,000 taels, which is a bit unfair to the Third Master and his sister-in-law."
Song Qingcheng didn't believe Wang Zhirou's words at all. She knew exactly how much silver the family had in her previous life. Tens of thousands of taels were more than enough. Why did she say two thousand taels? She just didn't want to give it. Although their third room didn't necessarily want the five thousand taels, she would rather lose face if they treated her like a fool.
In her memory, the old Duke set a rule that all the descendants of the direct lineage and the outsiders could receive 5,000 taels from the public account in order to circulate their relationships and connections.
They thought Wang Zhirou was easy to talk to.
Shen Tanxiang did not play dumb at this time. At the end of the year, the dividends to each room were all drawn from the public account. If 5,000 taels were given to the third room, then at the end of the year, except for the third room, she would get a lot less silver.
"How about you first take out three thousand taels from the private treasury of the third house, and treat it as a loan from the public treasury. When the money from the public treasury is returned, you can use the money from the palace to make up for it."
Song Qingcheng twitched the corner of her mouth. These two families really did a good job of getting something for nothing.
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it. It's the end of this season. The rent from the previous season should have been collected, and the profits from the shops in the capital are also being collected. If you calculate it, the beginning of the transition between the two seasons should be the most prosperous time for the family. It should be about 20,000 to 30,000 taels."
Song Qingcheng didn't even need to look at the account books. She could probably do the math in her head for the farm and the shop. Moreover, she had a photographic memory since she was young. She was the one in charge of the Duke of Guo's Mansion in her previous life. Even though so many years had passed, it would be easy for her to retrieve one or two accounts from her memory.
