Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

These words were taunting, as though he was mocking Mu Chen for not having good eyesight, how could he pick a Duo'er?    

    

Shen Jingli felt a little awkward, and simply smiled without making a sound, while Third Old Lady was so angry that he almost couldn't take a breath to go up. Regardless of whether Shen Jingli was a double, or his previous family background, he was now a Nanping County Prince bestowed by the Emperor.    

    

Second Madam Madam Jiang did not notice the Old Madam's expression, her gaze swept across Shen Jingli's body, revealing a look of disdain, and said: "This appearance is probably not good for a child, it's a pity that we, Zi An, have such good children. Mother, I feel that the young lady from the ancestor's house is quite round, and should be raised easily, why not let Zi An adopt her, and guarantee that we can hug each other for three years?"    

    

Was he giving Mu Shisi his woman? Shen Jingli looked at the excited Madam Jiang and felt that this lady was simply amazing.    

    

Madam Jiang didn't even know how to speak, and didn't even know how to look at others' faces. She continued to spout: "If it wasn't for the fact that Zi An was down and out, how could he have married such an ordinary couple? That girl in my cousin's house is extremely beautiful, I will definitely not let Zi An down. "    

    

There was even a disdain towards Shen Jingli in the words.    

    

When Third Old Lady heard this, she really wanted to slap him. How could she have been blind to pick out such a foolish wife for her son?    

    

"What nonsense are you talking about? Since when is it your turn to speak ill of Zi An? "Your tongue is so long, do you want me to get someone to cut it for you?" Third Old Lady was so angry that her entire body was trembling. This idiot, if she wasn't her biological brother's daughter, she would have already told her son to divorce her.    

    

"Mother, why are you so angry? Isn't my heart aching for Zi An? Such a good child. " The Madam Jiang didn't realize his mistake at all, and even thought that the Third Old Lady was mysterious.    

    

Mu Sihua glared at her Second Aunt coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt. This Second Aunt of hers was a prodigy, to the point where her grandmother was a scholar and her family was also a scholar. This Second Aunt was also someone who had read a lot of poetry, but her brain was full of scams.    

    

"Your box is quite pretty. What's in it?" Mu Siqing, who was sitting next to Madam Jiang, saw the beautiful box in Mu Sitong's hands and snatched it away. Opening it to see that there was a screw Dai inside, her expression immediately changed as she shouted angrily at Mu Sitong, "Mu Sitong, where did you get this nut Dai from? "You are just a concubine, how dare you use a screwdriver. How dare you!"    

    

Hearing Mu Siqing's angry outburst, Third Old Lady became even more displeased. How could he lose his temper in front of her? She stealthily glanced at Madam Jiang, only to see that Madam Jiang was looking at her daughter proudly, as if she felt that her daughter had done a good job.    

    

Mu Siqing's temper flared up as she turned her head to look at Mu Siyu. When she saw Mu Siyu staring at the box in her hand again, she immediately put the box into her pocket and said, "Cousin gave this to us as a gift. Grandmother agreed to accept it, so we can use it. You are only the second wife's direct daughter, and you still want to cross the border to manage the affairs of the main house? "    

    

"That's right, do you have any manners? Sister Tong is your cousin. Not only did you steal her things, you even dare to call her by her name? " Mu Sihua snatched the box from Mu Siqing's hands and returned it back to Mu Siqing. Although she was the direct descendant of the same Western Mu Mansion as Mu Siqing, she really didn't like this little sister at all.    

    

Seeing that her daughter was wronged, Madam Jiang was dissatisfied. She actually slapped Mu Siyu's face and arrogantly said, "You, a concubine, actually dared to teach your direct daughter a lesson. How did your aunt teach you?"    

    

Seeing that the Madam Jiang mother and daughter were getting more and more outrageous, the old lady nearly had a heart attack. She felt that their family's Feng Shui was not good? This niece of hers was pretty good when she was with her family. She was filial and sensible, so why did she become so stupid when she was married?    

    

She glared at Madam Jiang and said, "I'll tell you everything properly, not listening to you even once or twice. What, is this how your parents teach their daughter? You got mad in front of your elders and even went across the world to teach those girls in the big house a lesson.    

    

Probably because she did not want to scare Xun Er, the old lady's voice was not loud, but each word was like a slap to the face of Madam Jiang.    

    

Madam Jiang's eyes reddened as she heard his mother-in-law's words. She felt wronged and said, "Aunt, I …"    

    

"Shut up." The old lady scolded him, "My old woman isn't dead yet. You're just a second wife, and yet you dare to hit and scold a big family's child in front of me. You're quite amazing, don't you think that since I'm your aunt, you should be the one in charge of this family in the future?"    

    

Ever since her father had passed away, the Jiang family had gradually declined. This niece of hers was rather sensible at home, but when she married into the family, she felt that she was superior and that her entire temperament had changed.    

    

Madam Jiang had never seen the old lady so angry before. She quickly kneeled down and said while sobbing, "Aunt, my wife didn't mean that. Si Yu is really too insensible …"    

    

"That's enough, I don't care about you anymore. The second house is also divided up. In the future, apart from New Year and Mid-Autumn, you don't have to come back and pay respects to this old woman. I can't afford it." The madame waved her hand weakly. "Senior Servant Luo, please invite the Second Madam and the others back."    

    

When Mu Siqing heard that the madame had chased them back, she immediately became discontented. She was still thinking about Mu Siyu and the others' screwdrivers and jewelry as she grumbled, "Grandmother, you're being biased. Why can't we pay our respects when they can stay by your side and be filial?"    

    

Mu Siqing knew clearly in her heart that the madame had been in charge of the house for so many years and had accumulated many good things. If she could not come to pay respects, wouldn't those good things have all been for the benefit of her daughter?    

    

God, this girl was so white.    

    

How dare he complain to the madame when he had made such a terrible mess? This girl had probably been taught a lesson by her mother to the point that her brain had gone haywire.    

    

The old mistress' face darkened as she said to Luo mama, "Luo mama, go call the Second Master over."    

    

Luo mama accepted the order and quickly went to the Old Master's study to bring Second Master over.    

    

Seeing her son coming over, the madame said with a face full of love, "He looks a little thinner."    

    

"I've been a bit busy lately." Second Master glanced at Madam Jiang who was kneeling on the ground, her face darkened as she asked, "Mother, why did you call your son over?"    

    

Looking at her son's haggard expression, the madame sighed. She had let down her son by marrying him into such a troublemaker. "Bring your wife and daughter back. We won't need them to pay our respects in the future. "Also, bring Yu'er and the others over."    

    

Who would have thought that without her restraining her, she would become even more powerful? Siqing, this child, was already ruined, and couldn't let her destroy a few of the smaller ones as well.    

    

At his mother's words, Second Master's face sunk as she shot a cold glance at Madam Jiang. This daughter-in-law was really hard to teach, she was initially rather docile, but after he became an official, she became an official. She started to become proud and arrogant, and became more and more brainless.    

    

"Son understands." It was better this way, for the children to be taught by their mothers, than to be destroyed in the hands of the Madam Jiang.    

    

With her husband in front of her, Madam Jiang did not dare make a ruckus. The old mistress was annoyed by her husband, so if he pissed her off and he wanted to divorce her, the old mistress would not speak up for her. She would definitely be sent back home because her husband had been unhappy with her for the past few years.    

    

After Second Master brought Madam Jiang and the others away, the old lady declared that she was tired and let Shen Jingli and a few of the juniors leave.    

    

On the way back, Shen Jingli told Mu Chen about the Madam Jiang.    

    

Mu Chen's eyes moved, he was silent for a moment, then said: "In the future, you should avoid interacting with her, she is not an easy person to deal with."    

    

Seeing Mu Chen like that, Shen Jingli could not help but guess, had Madam Jiang come to the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion to cause trouble before?    

    

"He actually dares to cause trouble at Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion?" Would the Madam Jiang be too bold? Or did she think that just because the two families were relatives, they could allow her to mess around freely? Shen Jingli suddenly felt a pang for Third Old Lady. Having such a brainless niece must be something to be worried about.    

    

"Why wouldn't she dare?" Mu Chen laughed coldly, he really did not know how the Jiang Family taught his daughter. The young miss of the scholar's family was actually such a idiot, to actually want to tell her cousin that they are going to be her father's concubines.    

    

From the looks of it, Madam Jiang had done something that shook the heavens and earth. Shen Jingli could not help but smack his lips and feel that the personality of the Madam Jiang was really hard to please.    

    

"I think she has a screw loose."    

    

Shen Jingli didn't think that Madam Jiang, whose head was full of holes, would actually give him a lot of trouble later on.    

    

— —    

    

On the second day of the new year, the married woman went home to pay her respects to the new year. Aunt Ying's daughter, Yang Yujiao, and the eldest daughter, Yang Ning Fu, both went back to their residence and the mansion became quite lively. Zhou Hao also told Shen Jingli about the match sales.    

    

Shen Jingli leaned on Mu Chen, smiling as he calculated the amount of silver he had earned recently, he was in a very good mood.    

    

"Fourteen, I feel that one day, I will be as rich as a nation." Having the mind to cheat simply couldn't be more satisfying.    

    

"A little money grubber." Mu Chen doted on his forehead and said, "I have already bought the land near the spring.    

    

"Do you have the money to do this?" Hot springs, he thought. He really didn't want to waste a second.    

    

Shen Jingli's eyes immediately lit up. Seeing him like this, Mu Chen laughed helplessly, when it came to making money, he was more happy than anything else.    

    

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."    

    

"Of course I don't have to worry about that." How could he be worried? Shen Jingli laughed, raised his head and kissed his chin, "Have you ever thought about the customers that can face the Hot Springs Inn?"    

    

Shen Jingli stared at his beautiful chin, unable to hold back, he gently took a bite. To be honest, he felt that his resistance to beauties had decreased, previously, when he saw beauties, he would only look at them covetously, but now, when he was facing Mu Shisi, he could only stealthily eat tofu, but now, he continuously wanted to bite off.    

    

"What do you think?"    

    

"I feel that if I was doing business with both men and women in a spa beauty soup house, women would definitely not come to save their reputation." "All the shops and entertainment in the capital are set up for men. Not to mention the brothel, tavern, and gambling den, only men can go there. Even the elegant places like the bookstore or art gallery can not be entered by women. As women, they can only go to places like cloth villages or shops, and at most they can only go to temples."    

    

"Other than staying in the palace, official wives like my grandmother usually go to temples the most." Shen Jingli started laughing, "So, if there's a place where the maid greets the bride and if there's a hot spring and a massage, it can also help with beauty. Who knows, there might be other old ladies who can play with the leaves …"    

    

Shen Jingli seemed to see white silver rolling towards him.    

    

Mu Chen knew what he was thinking the moment he saw him. He lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "That's a good idea."    

    

"Of course. Women are even crazier than men when it comes to spending money." There was room for improvement in the perfume of this era, and he might be able to use it.    

    

Perhaps he could even set up a street inside and sell some fabric and spices he brought back from the Western Regions. He could also design some special jewelry that would definitely be popular. As he was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly thought of something terrible.    

    

"Oh right, have you sent people to look into the matter with Ji Shaowen? I saw him at the door again yesterday. " Thinking about the person who kept pestering Yang Ningyi, Shen Jingli couldn't help but have a bad impression of him.    

    

"I've already told Wei Zuo to go investigate."
