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

"Why? Aunt is still not satisfied with this?" Xue Jinhua asked softly again.

"No... no, then you must keep your word." Old Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly, "Then go and take out the silver."

Xue Jinhua raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Aunt, you don't have to be so anxious. I am a young daughter-in-law and don't know much about these things. I won't interfere in your business. How about this... I will treat this money as my investment in your mother's business. When there is a profit in the future, you can give it directly to your mother as a token of my filial piety to her."

"That's what you said," Mrs. Zhou thought for a moment, as if she was afraid that she would go back on her word, and said hurriedly, "In order to avoid any disputes in the future, how about we write the terms of the agreement between us? What do you think?"

How could this be about avoiding disputes? It was clearly about fearing that one would regret it later.

Xue Jinhua's mind was as clear as a mirror, but she did not object. "Okay, then just write that the money was paid by mother. Your business has nothing to do with me."

Old Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and quickly asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After signing the contract, both of them pressed their fingerprints. Xue Jinhua smiled slightly and said, "Aunt, please wait a moment. I will have someone send the money over in a moment."

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Jiang couldn't help but shook her head, thinking to herself, she probably didn't even know how her aunt died, and she was still happy now, but she was afraid that she would have no place to cry later.

After Xue Jinhua left, Mrs. Zhou looked at the contract and smiled from ear to ear, even forgetting about Zhou Yeqing's refusal to marry. "Ah, my dear sister, your eldest daughter-in-law is not as difficult to deal with as you imagined. Look, if we use a little trick, won't it be easy to get the money?"

Wang was secretly puzzled. It was really beyond her expectation that Xue Jinhua handed over the money so readily this time.

But she was still very happy that she had successfully defrauded Xue Jinhua of her money. So, she praised Mrs. Zhou: "Sister, you are the one who has the solution!"

However, Old Lady Zhou didn't take it seriously and sneered, "Humph, this is just the beginning. In the future, I have plenty of ways to make her hand over all her dowry."

While the two were talking, a maid ran over to report: "Madam, the head of the clan is here." Upon hearing this news, Wang's face darkened and she felt unhappy: "What is he doing here? How can he have the face to step into our mansion now?"

Old Madam Zhou knew very well that there was a conflict between her sister and the patriarch. Her eyes flickered and she said softly, "Sister, don't act impulsively. We still have a way to deal with this old guy."

When Wang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked anxiously, "Sister, please tell me quickly, what good plan is this?" At this moment, she was full of trust in her sister and had no doubt at all.

Mrs. Zhou whispered something in Wang's ear, and Wang's face suddenly turned pale with fear... "Sister, this... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. What if someone dies?"

"Sister, don't worry. I've tried it several times before. There won't be any problems. Don't you just want to teach him a lesson? Here comes the perfect opportunity."

Wang was still very hesitant in her heart. Seeing this, Old Lady Zhou said, "Forget it. It seems that you still lack trust in your sister."

"How could this be? I naturally have complete faith in you, sister. I will follow your instructions right away."

Old Madam Zhou was very satisfied in her heart. After sending Wang away, she turned to look at Zhou Yeqing, and her expression changed instantly, "What a waste who is not good at doing anything but always makes trouble."

"Mother... Mother, please calm down." Zhou Yeqing was trembling with fear.

"But it doesn't matter. This incident has already caused her to bleed a lot."

Zhou Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard Old Lady Zhou say slowly, "Humph, I will take all the money from the Zhao family sooner or later."

Zhou Yeqing's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She really wanted to remind her mother whether this was inappropriate... But she remained silent and did not dare to say a word.

After Xue Jinhua returned, he ordered Yinghua to go to the storehouse and take out 12,000 taels of silver.

"Miss, are you really going to give this money away?" Sakura was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close.

"What? Do you think I, your lady, am joking?"

Sakura pursed her lips tightly, her pale eyes revealing a bit of reluctance, "But... in this way, wouldn't it be too easy for my aunt and the old lady? Moreover, this matter was clearly my cousin's fault, but in the end, I have to let you pay for it. I really don't understand."

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Your lady's money is not so easy to take." Xue Jinhua couldn't help laughing when she saw Yinghua's look of worrying about the money.

Sakura thought about it carefully, and yes, ever since the master came back, the young lady seemed to have suffered no harm.

She was relieved, "Miss, I will send it over right away."

After Yinghua handed over the silver, Old Lady Zhou still acted arrogantly, "Your young lady is quite sensible."

When did her young lady become so tactless? Sakura was so angry that her heart ached. If her young lady hadn't ordered her to do so, she would have really wanted to get angry.

"Aunt, you'd better count it first, or you'll say the number is wrong later."

Sakura actually just wanted to piss off Old Lady Zhou, but she really underestimated how shameless Old Lady Zhou was, and she actually counted them in front of Sakura.

"One, two, three... ten taels, twenty taels... one hundred taels." While counting, Old Mrs. Zhou glanced at Sakura proudly.

Yinghua was so angry that she almost fainted. She didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou was so shameless that she actually counted the money in front of her. She only felt a pain in her chest, as if she had been hit hard by someone.

"One hundred and fifty taels,...just right!" After counting, Old Mrs. Zhou nodded with satisfaction and put the silver in her arms.

So after Mrs. Zhou finished counting, Yinghua turned around and left. However, when she was walking through the corridor, she didn't notice someone coming from the opposite direction, and the two of them bumped into each other without any preparation...

"Who has no eyes..."

Before Yinghua finished her words, she saw the person in front of her clearly. The rest of her words were stuck in her throat. She was too embarrassed to say them out loud, but her tone was still unfriendly. "Cousin, could you please be more careful when you walk next time? You have such a delicate body. If anything happens, don't blame me!"

Zhou Yeqing's face turned red instantly and she looked extremely embarrassed. She certainly understood the deep meaning of Sakura's words.

"Miss Sakura, I want to meet your young lady, is that okay?"

"My young lady is very busy, how can she have the time to see you?"

Zhou Yeqing pursed her lips and said, "Miss Sakura, there are some things... I can't help myself."

Sakura looked at her pitiful appearance and finally softened her heart, "I can take you there, but I can't guarantee whether my lady is willing to see you."

"Thank you so much, Sakura-san!"

Zhou Yeqing cried with joy and almost knelt down to express his gratitude.

Not long after, Yinghua took Zhou Yeqing to meet Xue Jinhua.

"Cousin... Madam, I'm really sorry. I know I can't expect your forgiveness, but what I did was really out of necessity. I never intended to seduce my cousin." As soon as she saw Xue Jinhua, she knelt down with a plop.

Xue Jinhua didn't find it strange, and didn't try to stop him. She just said calmly, "Oh? Does Miss Cousin have any ideas?"

"Madam, I know that I am not qualified to call you cousin's wife, but my only wish is that my aunt can be safe and sound."

Xue Jinhua remained silent. Zhou Yeqing knew that she would not believe him, so she bit her lip and said, "Madam, I know you will not believe me, but I know that what my mother and the old lady did was not glorious...

I am telling you the truth now, I just hope that Madam can help me…"

"Zhou Yeqing, do you think I will believe you?" Xue Jinhua's expression was still as cold as ice.

Now thinking of her cousin's appearance, she really couldn't understand, was her cousin confused? He didn't want such a beautiful wife at home, but was obsessed with women outside...

"I'm sorry... Madam, just pretend that Ye Qing has never been here today." Zhou Yeqing knew in her heart that whether she confessed or not would have no effect on Xue Jinhua at all. She was just too self-righteous.

Zhou Yeqing's steps suddenly stopped, he was a little confused.

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm and gentle as the sunshine in March. "My sister-in-law is a bit old-fashioned, but she is a very disciplined person. If we really become a family, I'm afraid even your mother will be helpless."

Zhou Yeqing suddenly realized what was going on and almost cried for joy, "Thank you, Madam, for your guidance."
