Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

"Chunqin, Qiushu, you are responsible for counting my dowry."

'Yes, ma'am!'

Just after the tea ceremony on the second day after the wedding, mother-in-law Chen Yulan couldn't wait to hand the account book and matching cards to Jiang Chuwei.

She acted as if it was a great gift from heaven: "Wei'er! From now on, you will be the mistress of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."

Jiang Chuwei declined: "My daughter-in-law has just arrived and might make mistakes. It's better for my mother to be the head of the family!"

Seeing that Jiang Chuwei was not going to take over, Chen Yulan became anxious: "Mother knows that you are a good child, so you should be filial to her and let her enjoy a few years of peace and happiness, okay?"

Daqing attaches great importance to filial piety, and Chen used filial piety to pressure others, so Jiang Chuwei dared not refuse.

Chen Yulan put another pair of cards in her hand.

Madam Lu also smiled and said, "Wei'er, just listen to your mother. You will be the head of this family."

Lu Yanke didn't know why his mother and grandmother insisted on letting Jiang be the head of the family.

In his heart, Rou'er is the candidate for the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.

If his wife is Rouer, the power to head the household will belong to Rouer.

Thinking of this, he felt that Jiang Chuwei was really ungrateful.

"Mother, Wei'er is right. She has just arrived and is not familiar with the mansion. We will talk about the management of the household later."

After saying this, he looked like he was thinking about Jiang Chuwei.

Jiang Chuwei was touched.

He didn't notice at all that his grandmother and mother-in-law glared at Lu Yanke at the same time.

Lu Yanke looked at his grandmother and mother with murderous eyes and reluctantly shut up.

He couldn't understand why his mother insisted on letting Jiang be the housekeeper.

Does it mean that Rouer’s food, clothing and other expenses will still need Jiang’s consent in the future?

Jiang Chuwei didn't notice the expressions on these people's faces.

She just thought that the prince felt sorry for her hard work because he saw that she was unwilling to take over the household responsibilities.

Her grandmother and mother let her take charge of the household chores, treating her as a member of the family.

Although she wanted to take a break for a few years, she still took the job.

Unexpectedly, after she checked the accounts, her eyes went dark.

The dignified Pingyang Marquis Mansion actually has debts on its account.

Only then did she realize that she had been plotted against by her mother-in-law.

Thinking that the prince was trying his best to consider her, Jiang Chuwei suppressed her dissatisfaction.

The prince is already sad enough, she should not make it more difficult for him!

Thinking about it now, Jiang Chuwei wanted to poke her own eyes out.

Lu Yanke had no idea about the finances of the mansion and was only interested in securing a position of mistress for her lover, so of course she didn't want her to be in charge of the household expenses.

Her mother-in-law couldn't wait to throw this hot potato to her because she couldn't bear to run the family anymore.

This family of ungrateful people, why did she use her dowry to support them for so many years!

"Xia Qi! Go and bring Aunt Qiu back."

Nanny Qiu was Jiang Chuwei's wet nurse and accompanied Jiang Chuwei when she got married.

With her around, Jiang Chuwei can feel much more relaxed.

The Lu family's only farm has been losing money for years.

Last year, Jiang Chuwei sent Nanny Qiu to manage the farm.

Under her management, Zhuangzi has begun to make a profit.

Now, Jiang Chuwei has figured it out. What does the survival of the Lu family's business have to do with her?

Xia Qi took the order and left.

With her speed, she can bring Nanny Qiu back in one day.

Dong Hua reported: "Miss! The old lady sent someone again."

Jiang Chuwei showed a hint of disgust.

This is the time when the old woman uses bird's nest.

It seems that he can't sit still without a meal.

Since Jiang Chuwei took over, Shoukangtang and Jinfutang have never been out of business for bird's nest.

If she guessed correctly, her mother-in-law was also in Shoukang Hall.

Dong Hua: "Miss, how about I go and tell her that you are not feeling well?"

Jiang Chuwei stood up and said, "They won't stop until I go. Bring your account books and cards and come with me."

Seeing the young lady come out, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

The young lady beat up Nanny Wu, who was beside the old lady, and she was also worried that she would accidentally get into trouble.

Shoukangtang

Sure enough, Chen Yulan was there too.

She looked at Jiang Chuwei unhappily: "I heard that you ate your grandmother's bird's nest?"

She is so brave. I will eat hers tomorrow.

"My daughter-in-law has been in a coma for more than ten days. Is it not allowed for her to eat some bird's nest when she wakes up?" Jiang Chuwei looked directly at Chen Yulan.

It's really evil.

The moment Jiang Chuwei looked over, Chen Yulan was actually a little scared.

Chen Yulan was born in a humble family. When she was young, she used her beauty to seduce the marquis.

The Marquis kept her outside.

Unexpectedly, within one year of the marquis's marriage, two deaths occurred.

Chen Yulan successfully became the marquis's second wife thanks to her son.

Mrs. Hou died during childbirth, and at that time Chen Yulan was pregnant with Lu Yanke.

For the sake of her grandson, Mrs. Lu had to agree to let her enter the Lu family.

The Marquis's Mansion had just lost a legitimate son, so naturally the son from the concubine would be treated as a treasure.

Chen Yulan naturally became the marquis's wife.

However, she didn't expect that after all her efforts to enter the Marquis' Mansion, it turned out to be just an empty shell.

Fortunately, the former marquis’s dowry was not taken away by her family.

All the dowry went to the Marquis's family for profit.

It is true that the Marquis's family was miserable. On the way to attend her funeral, they encountered robbers and all her parents and brothers were killed.

These marquisates kept the secret secret so well that no one knew that Lu Yanke was a concubine's son.

No one in the General’s Mansion knew about it.

This was what Madam Lu blurted out when she and Chen Yulan were fighting each other in the previous life.

Jiang Chuwei then realized that the Pingyang Marquis's family had a long tradition of keeping mistresses.

That moment just now made Chen Yulan extremely angry: "I am your mother-in-law, how can you talk like that?"

"Did my daughter-in-law say something wrong?" Jiang Chuwei looked innocent.

Chen Yulan has no other abilities, but she is very good at making trouble.

When she starts to throw a tantrum, even Madam Lu has to give her some ground.

Jiang Chuwei used to indulge her, but there is no need to indulge her now.

"Does grandma think so too? My granddaughter-in-law can't eat the bird's nest that she bought with her own money?"

Madam Lu was upset. She was still waiting for this bite to satisfy her craving: "Weier, of course you can eat it, but you should let grandma know after you eat it and ask the kitchen to cook another portion. You know, grandma likes this one."

Old Madam Lu held Jiang Chuwei's hand and smiled lovingly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Jiang Chuwei pulled her hand back calmly.

Madam Lu’s face froze.

Today, Jiang is different from usual.

On second thought, she might be angry because no one visited her during her coma.

Even her husband was nowhere to be seen every day.

Thinking of this, the old lady no longer minded having her bird's nest snatched away by Jiang Chuwei.

Just stew it tomorrow.

After all, even clay figures have tempers.

Over the past three years, the Marquis' Mansion has been much better off under her management.

Her disappointing grandson never even stayed a night at Avon Court.

The Marquis's Mansion is now counting on him to bring honor to the family!

He, on the other hand, hangs out with that vixen every day.

The eldest son of a marquisate is now an idler in the Imperial Guards.

Thinking of this, she got angry.

Chen is such a fool. She doesn't care even though her son doesn't care about Jiang.

How can the Marquisate be successful without a legitimate grandson?

It seems that I have to register Haoge'er under Jiang's name.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Chen Yulan again.

Chen, this idiot, can't even coax Jiang.

It's a good thing that she fell into the water and fainted and was not rescued. If she was rescued, she would definitely hold a grudge.

As a second wife, she squandered all the dowry from her previous wife.

Now that she has a daughter-in-law to manage the household, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

Jiang Chuwei: "Grandma, from now on, you and mother should use the public money to buy bird's nests!"

"What? Didn't you always use your private treasury to pay for it? Where can I get the money from the government to buy bird's nests?"

When Chen Yulan heard that they were going to use the public funds, she immediately cried out, thinking that it would mean cutting off her supply of bird's nest.

"Mother, are you asking your daughter-in-law to use her dowry to support the Marquis's Mansion?" Jiang Chuwei said aggrievedly.

"Hasn't it been like this in recent years?" Chen said.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Lu scolded.

It is true that Jiang used her dowry to subsidize the Marquisate, but she was willing to do so, and no one could say anything.

But saying it out loud is another matter.

If this gets out, how will the Marquis' Mansion save face?
