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

Chapter 20: Borrowing Money from My Aunt and Grandma

Wang was a timid person by nature, so the sons she raised certainly had problems. The younger son, Zhao Yuhang, was not a good person who indulged in drinking, gambling, whoring and whoring, but what about the older son, Zhao Yuxuan?

He seems to be righteous and upright, but in reality? He is just a villain.

Her brother had such a problem, but she didn't think about the reason and put all the blame on her mother. Not only that, Zhao Yuxuan was not a good person in private. He was even more dirty than Zhao Yuhang. Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua felt nauseous and nauseous.

"My Lord, you are too polite. I only do this to prevent my brother's affairs from affecting me." Xue Jinhua's tone was extremely cold, completely different from her previous attitude towards Zhao Yuxuan.

Zhao Yuxuan felt unhappy. Why did this woman suddenly become so cold? Shouldn't she be grateful and close to him?

"My Lord, I have some matters to deal with in my room, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Xue Jinhua turned around without hesitation, leaving Zhao Yuxuan with a cold and thin back.

Looking at her figure gradually going away, Zhao Yuxuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Finally, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Want to attract my attention in this way? How naive!" He sneered secretly, thinking that Xue Jinhua must want to attract his attention by pretending to be noble.

When Xue Jinhua returned to the house, Yinghua brought the news, "Miss, Li San has already stockpiled the nearby Ganoderma lucidum and several herbs according to your instructions."

"Okay, I understand." Xue Jinhua nodded, secretly calculating the time in her heart. There was still some time before that thing happened, so she had to prepare in advance.

"Inform Li San to continue expanding the scope of purchases, not just to Kyoto." Xue Jinhua said after thinking for a moment, "We should also stock up as much Ganoderma lucidum and herbs from other places as possible."

"Yes!" Sakura replied respectfully, then turned and left.

After Yinghua left, Xue Jinhua finally relaxed. She knew very well that with Aunt Zhao's gossip, Zhao Yuxuan would not dare to easily alert the enemy, let alone go to see Xue Qing'er impulsively.

However, this was not her ultimate goal. She wanted to do more than just prevent them from meeting.

Zhao Yuxuan will definitely focus on his career development, after all, this is a top priority for him. Even if he has not used her money yet, he will never miss such a rare opportunity.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating her beautiful face, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a brilliant idea suddenly came to her mind.

Zhao Yuxuan waited anxiously, glancing at the hourglass from time to time. Time passed by, and the time agreed by the patriarch was getting closer and closer, but Wang had not returned yet. His face became more and more gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and an indescribable anxiety surged in his heart.

"Zhao Yi, go and see if the old lady has returned?" Finally, Zhao Yuxuan couldn't help but speak and ordered.

Zhao Yi responded and just as he reached the door, Wang came in in a hurry.

"My lord, the old lady is back." Zhao Yi reported hurriedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan's expression eased a little, and he quickly stepped forward. However, when he saw that only Wang had returned, a hint of disappointment and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Mom, why are you the only one back? Where is my sister-in-law?" Zhao Yuxuan asked anxiously.

Wang sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Your sister-in-law is not back."

Zhao Yuxuan stared at his mother with eyes wide open in disbelief, his voice became low and suppressed: "Mom, how could my sister-in-law do this? Doesn't she know that this concerns my brother's life and death? We are a family! And what about the Jiang family? Are they just sitting there and doing nothing?"

Wang smiled bitterly: "The Jiang family said that this is the Marquis's business and has nothing to do with them..."

"Their family is so heartless. Just because my brother has a bad reputation, do they think they can stay out of it?" Zhao Yuxuan roared angrily.

"I said it! But the Jiang family is determined not to care about this matter. What can I do?" Wang sighed helplessly.

"Mom, no matter what, my brother and sister-in-law are the daughters-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, and you are the mother-in-law, so you have to think of a solution." Zhao Yuxuan looked at Wang anxiously, hoping that she could come up with a good idea.

Wang was also very angry. "I know everything about this matter even if you don't tell me. But if the Jiang family doesn't help now, what can I do? Yuxuan, he is your brother, you can't just stand by and watch him die, right?"

Zhao Yuxuan knew that he should help his brother, but he didn't have much money now. Most of his salary over the years had been spent on Xue Qing'er, and now he had to take out such a large sum of money, which he really couldn't afford.

"Mom, how about this! You go ask your elder sister? Time is tight right now and it's too late to borrow money. Only your elder sister is able to help us." Zhao Yuxuan suggested anxiously.

"But your sister... She's still in confinement..." Wang didn't really want to tell Zhao Yufei about this. After all, that was her biological daughter! How could she bear to let her daughter who had just lost her child worry about these things? However, facing her son in front of her, she couldn't refuse.

"Mom, your eldest sister is the most filial to you. If you go over and ask her, she will definitely agree." Zhao Yuxuan continued, with a glimmer of expectation and determination in his eyes.

"Mom, for the future of our mansion, you will definitely ask your elder sister for this, right?" His tone became more and more determined, as if this had become their family's mission.

Seeing the determined and somewhat stubborn look in her eldest son's eyes, Wang was stunned. She had never seen such a persistent son before, and her heart could not help but ripple.

Wang knew her son's temper too well. If she didn't go this time, he would be the first to blame her if something happened in the future. Thinking of this, Wang sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Wang slowly stood up and walked towards the door. Each of her steps seemed so heavy.

After Wang left, Zhao Yuxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his mother would succeed. No matter what, he believed that his elder sister would help him through this difficult time.

The next day, Xue Jinhua had just gotten up when Yinghua came in and reported, "Miss, the master came back last night." Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was slightly stunned, then she revealed a faint smile.

Xue Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, but was not too surprised. She just chuckled: "Haha, it seems that the Marquis is still quite capable. He was able to borrow money under such difficult circumstances."

She originally thought that Zhao Yuxuan would personally take action, but now it seems that he does not seem to be that capable. However, she already knew his incompetence.

Sakura then said, "Miss, you may not know that this money was actually borrowed by the old lady herself, and she borrowed it from the eldest aunt!"

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic when she heard this. She should have expected that even if Zhao Yuxuan encountered difficulties, he would never do it himself unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, he always thought highly of himself and felt that he was different from others. If things went wrong, he could just stay out of it and even find excuses to shirk responsibility... just to maintain his so-called noble image.

However, in fact, he is the most sinister and cunning person in the entire family.

Sakura continued softly, "Not only that, after the young master came back, he immediately went to the head of the clan. I also heard that after the young master came back, he was in a very bad mood and was always angry. The old lady also quickly sent someone to the Jiang family."

After Yinghua finished speaking, she looked at Xue Jinhua silently, waiting for her reaction.

Xue Jinhua smiled and said, "By the way, since the Marquis brought Brother Fan back, I, the mistress of the house, have not met him alone yet."

"Miss, Brother Fan went to a private school a long time ago."

Xue Jinhua looked at herself in front of her. Sakura’s hairstyle was quite good and this hairstyle suited her very well.

"Then wait until he finishes school and let him come over to sit with us! This child without a father or a mother is really pitiful!"

After Xue Jinhua finished her breakfast, she thought that she would go out and find out if there was any news about the beggar master. However, she did not expect Jiang to come back suddenly.

"Sister-in-law, you're back!"

Xue Jinhua, as usual, had a smile on his face and greeted Jiang warmly.

Jiang seemed a little arrogant and indifferent, as if she didn't care much about Xue Jinhua. She frowned slightly and said with a hint of disdain: "Sister-in-law, are you going out so early?"

Jiang's aloofness is different from Zhao Yuxuan's. Jiang was born in a wealthy family and truly regarded money as dirt. She was a real lady from a noble family. Her aloof temperament came from deep in her heart, not deliberately disguised. This aloofness gave people a feeling of being high and mighty and inviolable.

Sometimes, Xue Jinhua even suspected that Zhao Yuxuan was deliberately imitating the Jiang family's style, but she knew very well that the Jiang family's coldness was innate and could not be easily imitated.

"Yes, the affairs of the mansion are very busy, and there are several shops that need my personal attention, so I have to go out and take a look."

Xue Jinhua explained helplessly. Although she knew that Jiang looked down on her, she still remained polite and smiled.
