How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 644: Anyone Who Hurts My Mother, I’ll Fight with Them!

Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Anyone Who Hurts My Mother, I’ll Fight with Them!

Shen Wanqing shrugged, looking helplessly at Xiang Hui.

"Sister, you see, it’s the same. Since it’s the Pei Mansion’s expenses, just put it on the Pei Mansion’s account. Now we can let the servant go to the mansion to get the money, and we can take the opportunity to see if there’s any pastries we need to buy."

Xiang Hui’s face looked a bit unpleasant. This was the first time she asked Shen Wanqing to pay, and Shen Wanqing was already being evasive. It might be even more difficult in the future.

After shopping for a whole day, Shen Wanqing took Xiang Hui to Pei Shu’er’s business to buy. Such a large order was enough to let her daughter earn a wave.

Throughout the day, Shen Wanqing did not pay for anything.

It was only in the evening that Xiang Hui had no choice but to speak to Shen Wanqing.

"Sister, it’s like this, the Pei Mansion doesn’t have much money left. Do you think you could lend some money to the Pei Mansion, and when the Pei Mansion receives the money, it will repay you?"

"More importantly, sister, you are part of the Pei Mansion and the mistress of the house. You should have this responsibility."

Shen Wanqing quietly looked at Xiang Hui, making her feel somewhat uneasy.

This gave her a feeling that Shen Wanqing seemed to know her intentions.

But how could it be possible? She had never revealed her plans to Shen Wanqing, and Shen Wanqing couldn’t possibly guess them.

Shen Wanqing shook her head: "I have no money."

Xiang Hui’s smile froze for a moment.

"Sister, didn’t you have a few shops before? They seemed to be doing quite well."

Shen Wanqing chuckled without humor: "Sister, have you been planning for my money all along?"

Xiang Hui hurriedly denied it, and Shen Wanqing said, "To be honest, I also have no money. You should know, the Shen Mansion is my purchase, and I renovated it. My shop hasn’t been open for long, and after removing the capital, it’s all been spent on my daily expenses. This house is also quite costly."

Xiang Hui held back for a while and then said, "Then does Pei Shu’er have money..."

Shen Wanqing sighed, "My daughter has even less money. Didn’t you see before that my daughter didn’t even have the money to buy diapers for Tang Chong? It was Ling who bought them for her. Speaking of which, Ling is so generous, spending hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver without blinking an eye."

"I think this matter, since it’s to support Ling, might as well let Ling handle it. Anyway, she’s now an Imperial Concubine and doesn’t lack money."

The moment these words came out, Xiang Hui was biting down hard enough to shatter her teeth.

She schemed against Shen Wanqing, but Shen Wanqing turned it around and aimed at her daughter.

Her daughter is an Imperial Concubine, and Shen Wanqing dares to exploit her? Xiang Hui laughed, "The national treasury is empty, and my daughter has already set an example by starting to cut back on palace expenses." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Shen Wanqing laughed, "Then there’s even less reason to support Ling. Think about it, if Ling is leading the palace in cutting costs, yet her own family spends lavishly, wouldn’t that hold her back?"

Xiang Hui’s cheek twitched. She truly hadn’t expected Shen Wanqing to have such sharp tongue now.

Could it be that she’s been practicing with that little rascal Pei Shu’er?

Shen Wanqing said, "Alright, sister, today’s shopping list is almost complete. Tomorrow, let the maids do the rest. I think, instead of extravagance, it would be better to figure out how to please the Old Madam."

After saying this, Shen Wanqing left, and Xiang Hui watched her back, muttering softly, "Bitch."

Then she boarded the carriage, and Shen Wanqing went to the Old Madam Pei to make a complaint and report the day’s activities.

After finishing the account of the purchases, Xiang Hui sighed.

"Old Madam, I’m afraid your birthday feast this year won’t be grand. You don’t know, Shen Wanqing has money, but she explicitly said she doesn’t want to spend it on you."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Pei raised her eyebrows at Xiang Hui.

"Did Wanqing really say that?"

Xiang Hui realized that what she said was too blunt and not too credible, so she quickly added with a laugh.

"I forgot her exact words, but overall she just didn’t want to spend the money, and she even suggested letting Ling pay."

"Technically, it makes sense for Ling to pay, and Ling is willing, but the national treasury is empty, and the palace is cutting back on expenses."

Old Madam Pei nodded, "I’ve always known that Ling is much more sensible than Pei Shu’er, so it’s not appropriate for Ling to pay."

"But since Shen Wanqing doesn’t want to spend the money, then so be it. I’ll talk to Pei Yu about his wife’s behavior."

Xiang Hui was pleased, knowing that Old Madam Pei’s words were much more influential than hers.

By then, Shen Wanqing might lose Pei Yu’s favor over such a petty sum.

After lodging her complaint, Xiang Hui went to have dinner.

After finishing the meal, she washed up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, before Shen Wanqing arrived, Xiang Hui left for Pei’s Trading House and pastry shop, discussing things in the Pei’s shop for a long time. When she came out, she had a gleeful expression.

When Xiang Hui returned, she saw that Shen Wanqing was already sitting in the main seat in the front hall.

Xiang Hui’s face inevitably showed some displeasure, as that position was mostly hers.

She sat side by side with Shen Wanqing, and Shen Wanqing gave her a knowing smile.

"Sister, you really are, forgetting your status."

When Xiang Hui was about to retort, Shen Wanqing smoothly redirected the topic.

"So, tell me, what are your plans for the arrangements?"

Xiang Hui copied the experiences from previous years, detailing the placement of arrangements one by one.

Shen Wanqing showed no expression, not really listening.

When Xiang Hui finished speaking, Shen Wanqing nodded lightly.

"Sister’s ideas are excellent; let’s go with her plan."

In other instances, it was mostly Xiang Hui in charge, with Shen Wanqing occasionally chiming in.

Then she noticed that the servants of the Pei Mansion didn’t listen to her at all. Gradually she stopped speaking and sat down to drink tea and read a book.

Until Old Madam Pei arrived, seeing Shen Wanqing idling, her face turned very displeased.

"My daughter-in-law sure knows how to slack off, leaving Xiang Hui to handle everything alone."

Shen Wanqing said indifferently, "The servants don’t regard me as the mistress, so I can’t direct them."

Old Madam Pei snorted coldly, "Then why don’t you think about why they don’t listen to you?"

Shen Wanqing laughed, "It’s true that I have a fault of being weak, but the authority of the household has never been in my hands. How can I manage the household?"

"From what the Old Madam implies, not fighting or contending is wrong. Didn’t you say before that you liked my capacity to tolerate? Why, does the Old Madam not like it now?"

Old Madam Pei didn’t expect to be retorted by Shen Wanqing, her face turning green and red.

She immediately raised her hand, about to hit Shen Wanqing.

"Shen Wanqing, you’re really rebellious, daring to be arrogant with me in the Pei Mansion?"

Shen Wanqing looked at Old Madam Pei without flinching.

Just as the slap was about to land on Shen Wanqing’s face, Pei Shu’er’s soft and sweet voice was heard.

"Whoever touches my mother, I will fight with them to the death!"
