Chapter 464: Chapter 465: Reluctance in Heart
Yun Zihan wiped her tears in public, "I will have a way to handle this matter, let the husbands and the old masters rest assured and focus on their studies, and everyone will make it to the golden list next year!"
Afterward, Yun Zihan thought it over and had the maid pawn the dowry given by Mrs. Han and Yun Jinnian, pawning it for two years and getting fifty thousand taels of silver in return.
When Duoduo and the butler mamasan spoke of it, a young maid overheard and soon the news spread throughout the residence.
Everyone envied Liao Shijie for marrying a virtuous wife and also secretly worked even harder on their studies; they were naturally grateful to Liao Shijie.
Yun Zihan knew about this and, with a silent sigh, sold the gossiping young maid and harshly reprimanded both Duoduo and the butler mamasan.
"Ah hahaha, this is so funny!" Yun Muyou laughed heartily.
Since coming over as a bride, her mother-in-law had let her manage the household; her sisters-in-law and brother-in-law were all trying to please her, and her husband doted on her immensely. With her life going so well, her mood was also good and she became more carefree and confident.
"Mother, is this really true?" Yun Muyou asked, tugging on Mrs. He’s sleeve.
"It’s indeed true. I have no idea how that couple is living their lives, to actually reach the point of pawning their dowry!" Mrs. He frowned slightly.
Should she consider helping out? These days, the second concubine had been very sensible.
"Hmph, the dowry Second Aunt gave to my Second Sister was so luxurious, worth at least eighty thousand taels, but what about mine? Even at its best, it was worth no more than twenty thousand taels of silver. Second Aunt probably never dreamed that my Second Sister would end up pawning it!"
Yun Muyou said this with a touch of schadenfreude.
Mrs. He really wanted to say that it was because your Second Sister had nothing valuable to show for, all the good things were allocated to you as your dowry!
But she couldn’t say such things.
"Mother, you mustn’t go helping her!" Yun Muyou added.
Hearing this, Mrs. He could only nod in agreement.
"How well does your mother-in-law treat you?"
"Very well, indeed. She excuses me from morning greetings, and at dinnertime, I’m not required to serve. I have the final say in everything at home, and my husband also treats me well. He even said he wants me to have a child soon, whether it’s a boy or a girl!"
Yun Muyou said, blushing slightly.
Relieved by her words, Mrs. He said, "That’s good, matters of children depend on fate, you can’t rush it!"
"Mhm, I’ll listen to you, Mother!"
Now she was a Marchioness herself, but seldom had people invited her over for visits, and those who did were often from families that were not presentable.
She had also sent invitations to visit the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, but the reply came that the Dowager Marchioness was unwell and might not be a good host.
She sent invitations to Count Xuanping, the Ministry of War Residence, and the Elder Residence as well, only to be rejected indifferently.
As for the Princess Residence, it was not even worth mentioning; her invitations couldn’t even be delivered, let alone the most prestigious residence of the Princess of the Nation.
Thinking about this, Yun Muyou felt a surge of annoyance.
Suddenly, it was the beginning of August.
The fragrance of osmanthus filled the courtyard, but Mrs. Han was somewhat listless, prompting Bai Que to immediately call for Han Xuzi.
"What you have is a sickness of the heart, and it needs a cure from the heart!"
Indeed, it was a sickness of the heart.
Just that person, she was actually given the title of Dowager Old Madam.
Where was the Han Family supposed to place its face?
Mrs. Han thought of the hardships Yun Jinnian had faced over the years and wished she could devour Yun Old Madam alive.
"Father, I can’t accept this!" Mrs. Han said, bursting into tears in Han Xuzi’s arms.
She was not the only person who felt indignant.
He too was indignant, but the time was not yet right.
"Wait and see, Shuniang. It’s still uncertain whose game this will be. Let me tell you the good news, Jinnian and Tianci will be back in another three to five days!"
