Chapter 15 The Prodigal

Ms. Cui was sitting in the room talking to Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji was Cui's wet nurse, and she followed her to the Wang family, so Cui relied on her as her confidant.

"The eldest lady may be able to take this opportunity to seize back the financial rights of the inner court." Aunt Ji said, her face full of determination.

Ms. Cui pondered and said, "I'm afraid that the daughter-in-law named Tao will be difficult to deal with."

Privately, she always called Wang Zhen's wife Tao 'daughter-in-law surnamed Tao'.

Aunt Ji advised: "How can a mother-in-law be healthy but let her daughter-in-law take charge of the money? Besides, in this house, it is the master and the second young master who make money outside, but you, the eldest lady, are the ones who take care of things inside. The boss can't study.

, but he spends money very much, how can it be unreasonable for a man who has nothing to do but let his wife hold the family money?"

"She is the eldest daughter-in-law after all, and she has a fierce temper."

"What are you afraid of? After all, it is the master and the second young master who have the final say on this matter. As long as the second young master can support you, the eldest madam, the boss and his wife will not even dare to let it go."

Mrs. Cui sighed and said, "It's a pity that the second brother doesn't pay attention to these things. What does the silver used in the inner courtyard mean to him? It doesn't even count as a small change."

"In my opinion, the marriage of the third child is an excellent opportunity. The eldest lady will ask Tao for more money and give her more trouble." Aunt Ji said with a very strategizing look: "

The second young master personally facilitated the matter of the third princess, if anything goes wrong during the wedding, he will definitely not tolerate this sister-in-law anymore."

Cui's eyebrows moved.

Suddenly Wang Bao shouted outside the door: "Mom, I'm coming in."

When Wang Bao came to the front, Mrs. Cui smiled and said, "Why didn't you go to school today and why are you here free?"

As she spoke, she looked down at the dark circles in Wang Bao's eyes and said with distress: "It's a good thing for you to study hard, but you also need to cherish your body and bones. Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight and your eyes are red.

."

Wang Bao turned his head to avoid Ms. Cui's hand and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Ms. Cui smiled and said, "Bao'er can say whatever he wants."

Wang Bao was hesitant, but he still said: "Haier just met Lao San, and he said... He said he was willing to sell the Imperial Manor to us for one thousand acres and twenty taels of silver."

Mrs. Cui laughed out loud with a "puff", covered her mouth and said, "Do you take what that fool said seriously, Bao'er? If there is such cheap fertile land, what's the harm in buying tens of thousands of acres of it for my mother?"

Being laughed at like this made Wang Bao look a little annoyed.

Ms. Cui didn't know what he was upset about, so she touched his head and said with a smile: "Bao'er, don't be upset, don't care what that fool did."

Wang Baodao: "In short, he is no longer a fool. Now in order to make money, he said he is willing to sign a guarantee and sell the land."

"Isn't he stupid?" Mrs. Cui was so shocked that she didn't react for a long time. She even touched Wang Bao's forehead with her hand and thought to herself, could it be that my Bao'er is stupid?

"Mother, what I said is true." Wang Bao brushed off Cui's hand and said impatiently.

Ms. Cui covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Bao had already conveyed the message that Wang Xiao wanted to pass on to him, and at this moment he thought that his mother would not be deceived so easily by him.

He didn't get any money, so he didn't know whether to feel relieved or uneasy.

When asked at this time and unable to tell the truth, Wang Bao responded casually: "I don't know what's going on. In short, he seems to be a different person. I speculate that he has stopped being demented a long time ago. Maybe

Is it so that he doesn’t have to go to school? In fact, he has been pretending to be dumb.”

"There are such misbehaving children?! Just because they don't want to go to school?" Mrs. Cui was almost shocked. She really couldn't believe that such a thing existed in the world.

"What is this?" Wang Bao gritted his teeth and said, "I see that he is walking with a limp. He must be fighting with people outside. He is so eager to make money, so he must be hanging out in a brothel outside..."

Ms. Cui stood up in fright and exclaimed: "How old is the third child? Just fighting with others?! How dare you go to a brothel to show off?! He's a prodigal."

"Oh my God!" Even Aunt Ji said with her heart in her hands: "How can there be such a prodigal son?"

Wang Bao curled his lips and said, "Otherwise, this mansion has everything you need for food and drink, so what does he need the money for?"

"Yes, Master Bao is right! The third child is about to marry into the royal family, and he is anxious to live in a brothel outside. It's terrible! It may not be impossible to find some low-class women to give him children." Mother Ji said

.

Ms. Cui was so busy that she covered Wang Bao's ears and cursed at Aunt Ji: "Old man, you said these disgusting words in front of Bao'er."

Aunt Ji hurriedly said: "I'm wrong, I was frightened by the third child."

Mrs. Cui put her hands on Wang Bao's shoulders and said urgently: "My dear, you must not associate with people like your third son! If you pick up these bad habits, your whole life will be ruined!"

Aunt Ji suddenly said: "Madam, from my perspective, this may not be a bad thing."

"Okay?" Mrs. Cui turned to Aunt Ji and spoke quickly: "From the looks of it, this third child is also a scheming person. What good can he do?"

Nanny Ji whispered: "Since he is willing to sign the guarantee, we might as well buy it from him. What's the difference between a price of twenty silver for one thousand acres and giving it away for free?"

"Hey, Nanny Ji, are you stupid? He signed a guarantee letter and can you actually count it?" Cui said: "Then Huangzhuang said it was given to him, isn't it still in the hands of the master?"

"But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" Nanny Ji whispered.

"You mean to wait until the master is gone..."

Nanny Ji nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "It doesn't cost much anyway. It's beneficial and harmless to have a deed in your hand. Who knows what opportunities there may be to fight for Master Bao."

Ms. Cui nodded, deeply convinced.

Nanny Ji added: "Besides, the third child is so eager for money, it is possible that he will make some girl's belly bigger. It is not easy for him, so of course we should help him."

Mrs. Cui and Nanny Ji looked at each other and understood immediately.

This third child is so scheming, who knows if he will quarrel with Bao'er in the future? Now others don't know that he is not stupid, so they are conniving at it for now. When the time comes, the trouble will become bigger and bigger, and once it comes out, he will be ruined.

"Bao'er, here are two hundred taels of silver. Take it. Let your third brother write a deed to sell you ten thousand hectares of fertile land. Remember, you have to ask him to sign and stamp it with his fingerprints."

Mrs. Cui was quite vigorous and resolute in her work. She took the money and put it in front of Wang Bao.

"You two are young, so this is just a joke between brothers, but once you have established a written agreement, he will not be able to rely on it." Cui then confessed: "If anyone asks, just say that your third brother is related to you.

Excellent, I want to ask you to borrow some private money. After you borrow his money, he must give you a written note."

Aunt Ji also said: "Yes, your third brother is the Prince Consort, and his family has a big business. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land are nothing to him, but these two hundred taels of silver are all your private property."

Mrs. Cui said: "Yes, that's the truth. These two hundred silver dollars are your respect for your third brother, and those ten thousand hectares of fertile land are your third brother's love for you. Do you understand?"

Wang Bao became a little confused.

Unexpectedly, that boy Wang Xiao guessed it right. A piece of tattered paper can really be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of the vast hectares of fertile land, he swallowed again. Although he was only fourteen years old, he knew that it meant that he would live a life of worry-free life, with fine clothes and fine food. When he became an adult, he could have as many beautiful maids as he wanted.

Only then did he finally understand that in today's matter, everyone seemed to be getting what they needed.

Is Wang Xiao stupid? Or is his mother stupid? Or is he stupid?

After carrying the money and going out, Wang Bao saw Wang Xiao holding a piece of grass in his mouth and leaning on the wall, waiting for him, looking a little naughty.

This is the unknown side of this third brother. He is fierce and cunning, just like a wolf, completely different from the little sheep he used to be.

Such Wang Xiao left a deep impression on the heart of fourteen-year-old Wang Bao.

"Bring it here." Wang Xiao saw Wang Bao coming, spat out the grass roots in his mouth, and reached out to take the bag of silver.

Wang Bao glanced at the written evidence in Wang Xiao's hand and said in shock: "You...how do you know it is ten thousand hectares."

Wang Xiao smiled casually, took Wang Bao's head, and said softly: "You must dare to tell others what happened today. I came to your room in the middle of the night and had sex with you."

Wang Bao's heart trembled again!

The next moment, the fierceness in Wang Xiao's eyes receded, and he returned to his dull and lifeless expression.

Like a harmless fool.

Wang Bao was stunned.

"Third Young Master, I have been looking for you for a long time. The eldest Young Master has finished his work and is calling you to come over." Tanxiang trotted over and said with a smile like Wang.

Wang Xiao turned around and showed an innocent and bright smile: "Sister Tanxiang, my fourth brother and I are playing together."

"Really? I have met the fourth young master." Tan Xiang smiled and pulled Wang Xiao away: "I will take you to see the eldest young master."

"good."

"Third Young Master, what are you carrying in your hand? My slave, come and get it."

"No, I can carry it."

"The third young master is so good..."

The two of them walked further and further away, and only Wang Bao stayed where he was, dumbfounded.

He stared at Tan Xiang's back for a while and swallowed. The next moment, Wang Xiao's terrifying look just now flashed back in his mind.

Wang Bao has just grown a thin beard on his lips this year, which makes him feel a little ugly; his mother, Cui, is not beautiful, intelligent, and has poor moral character, so he occasionally hears his servants talking behind his back.

All these things made the fourth young master of the Wang family feel a little inferior. From the bottom of his heart, he envied the "two and a half" brothers born to the Su family.

Two 'and a half' because Wang Xiao was only half a person in his heart.

Now it seems that the son born to the Su family is outstanding in appearance, smart in mind, and powerful in means.

Compare yourself to others in every possible way!

"Why!"
