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

"Great Patriarch, is it really you who used my money to smooth things over for your nephew?"

Zhao Yuxuan stared at the man in front of him who looked somewhat like his father. He felt a mixture of emotions and was very unhappy.

Although he did not have many feelings for the patriarch, he was an elder of the Zhao family after all, and he still hoped to get a reasonable explanation.

The chief was silent for a while, but finally nodded and said, "I am doing this for your sake. You won't be able to use it anyway. Since the gift has already been given, why waste it?"

Zhao Yuxuan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, staring straight at the patriarch: "Patriarch, how could you do this? Don't you know that this is the silver given to me by the Marquis' Mansion? How can you use it to open up connections for your nephew?"

To the patriarch, the descendants of the Zhao family are like the shining stars. No matter which one shines brightly, they are all the pride of the Zhao family. As long as they can make the Zhao family famous, he firmly believes that he has done nothing wrong.

However, Wang was like a flag against the wind, firmly disagreeing with the patriarch's opinion: "Patriarch, this is wrong. If you use Yuxuan's own money to help, I have nothing to say, but this money belongs to the Marquis' Mansion..."

The patriarch frowned, his face full of impatience, and he rudely interrupted Wang: "Now that things have come to this, I will have someone return the money to you."

The patriarch thought to himself that the Wang mother and son were really too difficult to deal with, and that previous efforts had never been successful, and he had been hiding it from them. Now that they already knew, there was no need to waste his breath any more.

However, Wang refused to give in. Her sharp voice was like a steel needle, piercing the eardrum of the patriarch: "No!"

The patriarch frowned and said sternly, "You can't just pay me back? Then what do you want?"

Wang was not in a hurry, just like strolling in the garden, and said slowly: "If it weren't for our money, how could he have got such a good job? Just returning the money is too cheap for him, isn't it?"

Zhao Yuxuan also strongly resonated with what Wang said. He nodded frequently, expressing his deep agreement with her.

Wang was secretly proud of herself when she saw this. "Besides, if we calculate it this way, we are his benefactors now. Isn't it too easy to just repay his kindness so easily?"

The patriarch looked at their greedy faces and his expression instantly became gloomy. He originally thought that Wang's mother and son still had some conscience, but now it seemed that they were only thinking about gaining benefits from others.

The chief was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Forget it, you guys go back and discuss how to repay me. When you have thought it through, come find me."

Hearing this, Wang and the others smiled with satisfaction, as if spring flowers were blooming. They thought that the patriarch had already surrendered. Wang said without hesitation, "No need to do that. We have already decided. Either you give up his position, or we will take care of his future salary."

When Xue Jinhua just arrived at the door, she felt as if struck by thunder. She couldn't believe what she had just heard and was stunned by the words. She never expected that Wang was so greedy and made such an excessive request.

Just at this moment, the patriarch's face became as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm. He stared at Wang's mother and son with his eyes wide open, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn them to death.

He was about to open his mouth to yell, but was abruptly interrupted by a voice coming from outside.

"I won't agree to any of the conditions you propose!" The voice coming from outside was a bit angry.

They turned around when they heard the voice and saw that the person who spoke was the nephew of the patriarch, Zhao Yuhao. He and Xue Jinhua were standing at the door with determined and angry expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yuhao is tall, with a stern temperament, and his eyes reveal majesty and determination.

Xue Jinhua stood quietly by the side, her beauty and calmness giving people a mysterious feeling. The combination of the two formed an eye-catching landscape.

Zhao Yuxuan frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion and inquiry in his eyes, while Xue Jinhua did not make any explanation, but just silently looked away.

His heart sank. At this moment, Wang's sharp voice suddenly rang out: "You came at the right time! You even brought Xue Jinhua with you. Don't you think this matter is embarrassing enough?"

"I was discussing important matters with the patriarch and the marquis. Why did you suddenly come here?" Upon hearing this, Wang immediately turned to look at Xue Jinhua, her eyes filled with resentment.

If it weren't for this woman, how could the Marquis' Mansion fall into such a predicament?

Xue Jinhua said calmly: "Mom, you misunderstood me. I didn't come here on my own, but the chief patriarch asked me to come."

After hearing this, the mother and son showed puzzled expressions on their faces and turned to look at the patriarch.

The patriarch nodded, indicating that it was indeed he who asked Xue Jin to draw it.

Then he added: "But she wasn't called here for these things."

When the patriarch faced Xue Jinhua, his expression became noticeably kinder.

"But before we talk about this, let's make Zhao Yuhao's matter clear!" The patriarch looked at Zhao Yuhao with a hint of expectation and inquiry in his eyes, "Yuhao, I guess you have heard what I said just now. What do you think?" He hoped that Zhao Yuhao could understand his intentions and be willing to accept his arrangements.

Zhao Yuhao's face became solemn. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the patriarch with firm eyes: "Uncle, don't worry, I know your expectations of me. In fact, I had passed the palace examination this time. Even if your uncle didn't help me to make connections, I could still get a good official position. If my cousin wants the official position I have now, as long as the emperor agrees, I have no objection." His voice was full of confidence and determination, showing that he did not care about personal gains and losses, but was more concerned about the interests of the family.

After hearing what Zhao Yuhao said, Zhao Yuxuan's face instantly became gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and a hint of dissatisfaction and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Wang on the side was completely dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Zhao Yuhao would give up the official position so easily. She just wanted to use her identity as a woman to show off. How could she really want the official position?

Zhao Yuhao continued, "Also, if you want my salary, I will report it to the court. From now on, my monthly salary will be collected by your mansion!"

Xue Jinhua stood quietly by and witnessed it all. She noticed the expressions of Zhao Yuxuan and Wang, whose faces were already flushed.

"Oh! My Lord, Mother...this is such an embarrassing thing. If you really want to collect your salaries in the future, you should go and collect them yourselves. I won't go." Xue Jinhua looked at the two of them with disgust. She really couldn't imagine what it would be like if she went to collect their salaries.

Xue Jinhua's words undoubtedly exposed the fig leaf of the two people. Although Zhao Yuxuan was shameless, that was only in front of Xue Jinhua. But in front of outsiders, he would not dare to do such a ridiculous and shameless thing.

Hearing Xue Jinhua's words at this moment, Zhao Yuxuan showed an embarrassed look on his face, and then glared at her fiercely.

"Who said we have to go and get it? Can't you just get it yourself and bring it to us?" Wang said with a red face, trying to make herself look more justified.

Even though Xue Jinhua was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by Wang's words. She stared at Wang with wide eyes and looked at her in disbelief, thinking: How could you even think of this? She sighed helplessly and shook her head, expressing her speechlessness at the behavior of the mother and son.

When the patriarch heard this, he felt his forehead congested with blood and was so angry that it almost exploded. He could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Nonsense, it's just nonsense. If this matter spreads, wouldn't the entire Zhao family become a laughing stock? You can give up this shame, but please don't bring trouble to the reputation of the Zhao family!"

"Hmph, Patriarch, Zhao Yuhao hasn't even expressed his opinion yet! Why are you butting in now? Do you think you can step in and make decisions for Zhao Yuhao?" Wang didn't take the patriarch's words seriously at all, and her voice became increasingly sharp and harsh.

In short, Wang Shi had already lost all face at this moment, so why would she care about losing a few more people? Therefore, all she could do now was to try her best to fight for the greatest benefit.

Zhao Yuhao's face was pale as paper at this moment. He was just talking nonsense. He thought to himself that such a shameful thing should be avoided for the sake of his face. Unexpectedly, he never expected that the other party would be so shameless.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, Zhao Yuhao was stunned for a moment and had no idea how to deal with it.

However, Xue Jinhua, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this scene.

Zhao Yuxuan was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: "Xue Jinhua, what are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking..."

Xue Jinhua's eyes flashed with cunning, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said in a brisk tone: "My younger sister's marriage is probably even more difficult to say..."

Hearing this, Wang's face suddenly changed. She glared at Xue Jinhua angrily and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are her sister-in-law after all, why can't you hope for her the best? How evil are you?!"

Xue Jinhua sneered and retorted without showing any weakness: "Mother, you are wrong. I want to do this for my younger sister's good, but you are not happy about it. You have to ruin her marriage before you are satisfied."

The patriarch and Zhao Yuhao also looked confused and had no idea what was going on.

Wang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She asked in a trembling voice, "Xue Jinhua, what nonsense are you talking about? Explain it to me clearly!"

"Yeah, can you please make your words clear at once? Stop being sarcastic here." Zhao Yuxuan frowned impatiently and said angrily.

"It's like this. Last time, the chieftain asked me to find a marriage for the fourth daughter of our uncle's family. Before that, I had very few contacts with the outside world, so I had never found a suitable candidate. But now, I have been favored by the emperor and have been awarded the title of a third-rank imperial lady. All of a sudden, a flood of ladies came to visit me, and several of them came specifically to inquire about me."

"Mom, if you insist on making a big fuss about this matter, not to mention the girls in the clan, it will probably be even more difficult to arrange a marriage for my little sister." Xue Jinhua said immediately.

After all, her elder brother's reputation has been ruined, and she has a greedy mother. How can she have a good marriage?

Wang was stunned for a moment as if struck by lightning. She had never thought of this before. Now her two sons were obviously disabled. Was she really going to ruin her daughter's future in this way?

Zhao Yuxuan obviously thought of this, but now he wanted the money and also wanted to benefit from his sister's marriage...
