The Wenhao system helped me become a killer

Mother Lu was the dowry of Grandma Shen, and she hoped that Grandma Shen would rise to power and control the people in the Shen family's main house. When that happens, she would benefit from Grandma Shen's success, which would be better than staying in the Shen's house like this.

"Grandma, you have to make good use of this opportunity! If it doesn't work out, you can seize the opportunity to get pregnant again! Jiao Jie'er is not bad, but it's not a boy after all. We must have a boy so that we can rely on him in the future~"

It's not that Grandma Shen didn't know the truth behind what Lu Ma said, but she also knew the relationship between her and Master Shen. It was probably impossible to get pregnant again, and as for going to Beiping to compete with Xu Bijun, she had no idea.

Although Grandma Shen was a woman in the inner house, she had her own survival wisdom. She had also heard the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan. Why did Wang Baochuan, a good lady from a wealthy family, dig wild vegetables for 18 years without any problem, but then she followed Xue Pinggui to become the queen and died after 18 days? Tsk, isn't this obvious?

"Mother Lu, what good will we get if we follow him to Beiping? It would be strange if the woman next to the master could watch me run the household. She is not a fool. Even if she were, she would not give birth to two sons and a daughter for the master and keep everything going smoothly."

Grandma Shen raised her hand to stop Lu Ma from retorting, "Yes, I am the legal wife. But what's the use of just the title? The master is not on our side, and we are unfamiliar with the place."

"If it really goes on, we might just end up throwing meat buns at dogs and never come back. I don't have a son, so what's the point of fighting for this? In the end, the other party's son will get the better of it."

Seeing Grandma Shen who was so discouraged and didn't want to fight for her reputation, Lu Ma couldn't help but wipe away two tears, "My poor Grandma! How is your life different from that of a widow? What a sin! Grandma, you were a daughter sought after by hundreds of families, and so many people came to propose marriage to you, but why did you choose Mr. Shen in the end? How are you going to live in the future~"

While Lu Ma was standing up for Grandma Shen, she was also sad about her own lack of a bright future.

"Grandma, even if you don't do this for yourself, you should work hard for Jiao Jie'er! If she gets married in Peking, it will be better than here, right?"

Mother Lu was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to try to persuade her.

Grandma Shen looked at Lu Ma's hypocritical behavior with a sneer on her face, and her words of instigation for her to take this opportunity to follow the master to Peking, and she secretly resented her in her heart.

"Bah, you useless slave. Do you really think I'm stupid? I might even lose my life, but you're still thinking about Jiao Jie'er's future! If she's really gone, Jiao Jie'er is still just dough in that woman's hand, she can be molded however she wants. People should know how to deal with the current situation. Living a good life is better than anything else."

Grandma Shen cursed in her heart, but before Aunt Lu could react, she immediately replaced the sarcastic smile on her face with a standard, perfunctory but quite sincere smile. She took Aunt Lu's hand and said, "Aunt Lu, it doesn't matter if we don't go to Beiping. After all, Jiao Jie'er is the eldest master's biological daughter. With her around, the eldest master can't just forget about me."

"We don't need to do anything too much, just let the master see our hardship and leave some money. As long as the Shen family is here, we will still have a stable life."

If it wasn't for wanting Lu Ma to contribute, Grandma Shen would have sent her away long ago. She was greedily staring at the money in her hands all day long. Didn't she really know that she was complaining outside that she was stingy and didn't have much reward money?

However, Grandma Shen also knew that Wang Ma had her own reasons for talking to her about this in private.

Mother Lu laughed dryly, "Haha, Grandma, you are really smart. Nothing is more important than money."

Grandma Shen patted Lu Ma's hand and said with a smile, "That's right. With the support of the Shen family and some money saved, we can have a long life in the future!"

"But, Aunt Lu, we have to do something so that the master can have pity on us and leave us more money."

Oh, when this topic is mentioned, Lu Ma becomes more excited. Her grandmother has more money, so she can naturally get more rewards! Hehe, her grandmother is not wrong. Having more money in hand is more important than anything else.

Mother Lu couldn't help but move closer. "Grandma, just tell me what you want. I will make sure it's done beautifully for you."

Grandma Shen quietly let go of Lu Ma's hand and wiped it with a handkerchief in disdain. "Even if the master dislikes me, he won't dislike Jiao Jie'er. Don't clean the yard too hard these days. In fact, it's better to be a little shabby. We can put away some things and stop giving rewards to the chef these days."

Grandma Shen turned her head and glanced at the little girl who was sleeping with a red face. Shen Wenjiao, who had been well fed and well fed during this period but had not been fully recovered, finally softened her heart and did not want to trouble her daughter.

"Bring back the pastries that can be stored in advance to fill Jiao'er's stomach." Grandma Shen knew what kind of people the people in the kitchen were like. If she stopped rewarding them, they would definitely deliberately make trouble for Xiaoyuan. But they didn't dare to go too far. They probably just shortchanged the food and added a few points at night!

Lu Ma's mouth froze. She was usually the one who sent out the rewards from the kitchen, and she could always get some money out of it. Could the eldest grandmother ask how much reward money they received? If the eldest grandmother did this, she would lose a lot of money.

Forget it. If grandma has enough money, she can get more than a few copper coins.

Lu Ma was Grandma Shen's dowry, and her marriage contract was also in Grandma Shen's hands. If she really made Grandma Shen angry, no one would say anything even if she was sold off.

"I will listen to you, grandma. I will definitely do everything for you smoothly. I guarantee that it will not look like the servants are flattering and not doing their best." Aunt Lu lowered her head and responded.

"Don't be too obvious. After all, we are living under the old lady's nose now. If we embarrass her, our lives will be difficult in the future. I will handle the rest by myself. By the way, don't let Jiao Jieer know about this. She is just a child and she won't let it slip."

Grandma Shen didn't make any big moves. She just wanted to make the living conditions of her and her daughter seem miserable to act pitiful. But she also had to be careful not to offend the old lady, otherwise she would have a hard time in the future.

"By the way, give Wang Ma and Shuang Er a few days off starting tomorrow. Let them rest after working so hard for so long."

Grandma Shen waved her hand to signal Lu Ma to go out.

When there was no one in the room, Grandma Shen touched Shen Wenjiao's delicate little face and said in a faint voice, "Jiao Jie'er, it would be great if you were a brother! Oh, Master Shen, you can't really feel at ease and let your family help you support your wife and daughter! It doesn't matter if you're not here, at least you have to leave some money!"
