The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Wang looked at Xue Jinhua with a puzzled look on her face, thinking that she was simply talking nonsense: "Xue Jinhua, what do you mean by this?"

Zhao Yuxuan also found it incredible, frowned and asked: "Xue Jinhua, what are you talking about?"

Xue Jinhua took a deep breath and said slowly: "My Lord, please listen to me first, then you will know whether I am talking nonsense or not. If you use my dowry to supplement the family income, others may gossip about it; but if you use my mother's dowry, not only will others not say anything, but they will also praise my mother for her greatness and selflessness!"

When Wang heard this, she immediately became anxious, "Xue Jinhua, stop talking nonsense here."

Xue Jinhua smiled and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, just listen to me. I'm speaking from the heart. Look at our family's current situation. We really need some money to alleviate our difficulties. And doing this can not only solve the problem, but also win you a good reputation. Why not do it?"

Seeing that both of them were silent, Xue Jinhua continued, "I am telling the truth, Patriarch, I wonder if you still remember the new champion not long ago?"

I remember that this new champion was from a very poor family, but his mother used her own dowry to raise him and enable him to study. Not only that, his mother often ran around, doing laundry for wealthy families to earn a meager income, just so that he would not have to worry about money and could concentrate on studying and taking the imperial examinations. When the emperor learned of this, he not only did not think it was shameful for him to use his mother's dowry, but was deeply moved. "

"The emperor was delighted and wrote down the seven characters 'The love of parents is pitiful' on the spot. He appointed him as the new top scholar and even appointed him as a fifth-rank official. He also rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold."

"If mother's devotion to the Marquis could be as great as that of the mother of the newly crowned number one scholar, I believe that not only would people not laugh at her, but they would think that her devotion to her son was great and selfless."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see a glimmer of light and hope in his heart. He felt that this idea might be feasible and could solve the current predicament.

However, Wang was in deep distress, because she had never expected such a thing to happen. Her face became very ugly, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"I think it's possible." The chief thought for a moment and said slowly: "Although there is no precedent in our clan, the current situation is special and we need to take some special measures to deal with it. If I use your dowry, even if everyone knows about it, I believe that no one will say anything, and they will even understand your painstaking efforts."

This... this... Wang was speechless for a moment. She stared at the chief patriarch with wide eyes and a look of astonishment. She didn't expect that the chief patriarch would support this. She originally thought that the chief patriarch would stand on her side and oppose this proposal. Now, she felt torn and didn't know what to do. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse; she wanted to agree, but she couldn't open her mouth.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yuxuan noticed his mother's strangeness and asked with concern. He looked at his mother's tangled expression and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Mother, do you have any hesitations? For the future of the Marquis, aren't you willing?" Xue Jinhua asked with pretended concern.

Xue Jinhua's words made Zhao Yuxuan frown tightly, and his cold face showed some fortitude: "Mom, are you in any trouble?"

Wang looked at the two people in front of her, feeling a little conflicted, but she still decided to tell them the truth: "Yuxuan, listen to me, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you now."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was surprised: "Mom, you are not telling the truth, are you? Are you kidding us?"

Zhao Yuxuan was very unhappy, and his tone became serious: "Mom, it's already this time, just say whatever you want to say."

Wang knew that she could no longer conceal this matter, so she told him the truth about her family's situation: "Yuxuan, you know the situation of our family. I'm afraid that the money we have now is not enough even if we sell the dowry in my name."

Xue Jinhua was surprised again! "How could that be? Mother, I have been the housekeeper all these years, and you have never spent money! How could you be out of money?"

Wang's face flushed, and she looked a little uncomfortable. "Before you married in, I was in charge of the mansion, but I was not good at housekeeping at that time, and the family business was losing money, so I used the dowry to pay a lot."

Although she took it for granted that Xue Jinhua was the housekeeper over the years, she never thought how powerful she was.

But by saying it now, he had already admitted that he was not as good as Xue Jinhua as a housekeeper.

Although it feels embarrassing, there is nothing I can do now. It is better than saying these things when I can't come up with the money!

"Mother, that's not right! When I took over as the housekeeper of our Marquis' Mansion, I saw the list. I remember clearly that some of it was paid, but it can't be that even if all the dowry was sold, it wouldn't be enough for the silver that the Marquis needs, right?" Xue Jinhua said curiously.

"Mother, the Marquis is your own son. Are you looking for an excuse because you don't want to help?" Xue Jinhua said slowly.

Zhao Yuxuan's face changed instantly, and the anger that had been suppressed exploded completely. He was now completely angry.

"Mom, what do you mean? Do you really not want to help me?"

Wang felt that she had a lot of pain to say, "No, Yuxuan, listen to me... You are my son, how could I not want to help you!"

Faced with her son's questioning, she wanted to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Xue Jinhua said quickly: "Mother, since you don't want to help, you must have some difficulties, right?" You also know that this is a critical moment for the Marquis, and it is also related to the Marquis's future. If you continue to hesitate, we will really miss the opportunity. Or are you worried that our Marquis will not provide for you in your old age after his promotion?"

When Wang heard what Xue Jinhua said, she was so angry that her eyes twitched, but Xue Jinhua pretended not to see it and continued, "Don't worry about it. The Marquis is a filial person. Even if you don't give me money, I believe that the Marquis will definitely honor you well in the future. However, if the Marquis can be promoted, I'm sure our lives will be better in the future, and we will be more able to honor you then. But if the Marquis fails to be promoted this time... I'm afraid that the Marquis's life will be very difficult in the future, and your life won't be easy either."

Wang knew this truth. She naturally hoped that her son would get better and better, so that she would have a good reputation. So she quickly said, "Of course I know this. I definitely hope that my son will get better and better."

However, Zhao Yuxuan saw that her mother was still hesitant, and she gradually lost her patience. She couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what are you hesitating about? Don't you really want to help me?"

Wang hurriedly explained: "No...no...of course mother really wants to help you."

Zhao Yuxuan asked in confusion: "Then why do you say you don't have any money?"

Wang remained silent. Seeing that they couldn't explain anything, the head of the clan got angry. "I wonder if you are joking about this? You promised me before that as long as I found a way, money wouldn't be a problem. Now that I have found a way and the opportunity for promotion is right in front of me, you can't even make a decision?"

The chieftain was so angry that he stood up and was about to leave, saying as he walked: "Forget it, it turns out that you don't want this opportunity, I'll leave it to other people in the tribe!"

Zhao Yuxuan panicked. Seeing that the patriarch was about to leave, he quickly grabbed him and said, "We are not joking. We are serious."

The head of the clan obviously didn't believe it at this moment. Xue Jinhua looked at Wang seriously and said, "Mother, do you really want to see the Marquis' hard work go to waste?"

Wang was also panicked and said anxiously: "No, I didn't mean that, it's just that I really don't have that much money left."

"Mother, where did your dowry go?" Xue Jinhua asked in a low voice.

“I…” Wang looked at Zhao Yuxuan, then at the clan leader, then lowered her head and said guiltily, “All… all were given to your brother.”

Zhao Yuxuan was stunned, the head of the clan was surprised, but Xue Jinhua pretended to be surprised: "My younger brother is idle at home, and his expenses are usually paid by the mansion. Why would he ask you for money?"
