Chapter 326 She Almost Took Her Son’s Life
Mrs. Lu acted decisively this time. Presumably, she was really frightened by Yuan Wanru. She was afraid that Yuan Wanru would not receive the money, so she would really do whatever she wanted and do bad things.
Soon, Madam Cao delivered 20,000 taels of silver to Wangchun Hall.
There was a thick stack of brand new banknotes, and Yuan Wanru could almost smell the unique scent of ink from the money shop.
Yuan Wanru had a faint smile on her lips: "Madam Cao, please go back and tell the old lady that I always keep my word. I will not cause any trouble after I accept the money. Please rest assured."
Madam Cao twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "That's better."
After the others left, Yuan Wanru gently stroked the raised lines on the banknotes with her fingertips and casually pulled out a stack. She didn't count them, but judging from the thickness, there were about five thousand taels.
She handed them to Wang Min generously and said, "Mom, keep these."
Wang Min was holding a teacup. Seeing this, she quickly waved her hand. The tea lid hit the rim of the cup, making a crisp sound. "No, mother, I don't need money."
Yuan Wanru refused and stuffed the banknote into Wang Min's sleeve with a cunning glint in her eyes: "I am not short of money either."
"You don't know, the private money I've saved these days is probably more than my husband's."
She came closer and lowered her voice, "Do you think it's too little? If not, I'll give all these banknotes from the old lady to mother."
Wang Min shook her head: "Nonsense, mother doesn't want your things."
Yuan Wanru frowned aggrievedly: "This is a token of Wanru's heart. If you insist on not giving it to me, I'm afraid I won't have an appetite for dinner, and I won't be able to sleep well at night."
These words made Wang Min and Lu Jiangnian burst into laughter.
Lu Jiangnian took the banknote from Yuan Wanru's hand and stuffed it into Wang Min's hand: "Mom, my wife has been busy and tired recently. She hasn't eaten enough and hasn't slept well. She's going to lose weight again. You should accept it."
Wang Min finally compromised and put the banknotes safely into his sleeve pocket.
She felt warm in her heart, and the fine lines around her eyes smoothed out.
Seeing this, Yuan Wanru said happily, "Just spend it with confidence, mother. I will definitely give you more banknotes in the future."
Wang Min looked at her smiling face and felt happy: "Okay, Mom will be waiting."
She couldn't help but think of the last time Lu Wei came home, she always complained that she was partial to Yuan Wanru.
But Lu Wei didn't think about why she loved Yuan Wanru so much.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Wanru has always been filial, so of course she loves Wanru.
"You are more generous than Jiang Nian. He has never given me so many banknotes, and neither has your father."
The banknotes Lu Song gave her were not given to her individually. To manage such a large family, it would cost money, right?
Lu Jiangnian was eating dried fruits on the side. He paused when he heard this. He had clearly done nothing, but his mother had to pull him out for comparison.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Mom, didn't I give all my pocket money to you to take care of?"
Then he turned to Yuan Wanru, his eyes full of doting: "I gave the keys to my private vault to my wife, and now I am the one who wants pocket money."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of dried apricot and handed it to Yuan Wanru: "My wife, try it. If you think it tastes good, give me some pocket money."
Yuan Wanru was amused by him.
She generously took the dried apricots from his hand and put them in her mouth. They tasted really good.
While eating, she took out a purse embroidered with lotus flowers from her sleeve and waved it in front of Lu Jiangnian: "Here, this is your pocket money."
Lu Jiangnian pretended to be excited as he held the purse and sighed to Wang Min, "It's not easy, mother. Your son is very poor now."
Yuan Wanru threw her head back and laughed, "Do you regret it? Do you want me to take back the key to your private vault?"
"I dare not." Lu Jiangnian waved his hands repeatedly, "I will never take back the things that your husband gave you. I will definitely earn more in the future so that you can have more private money."
The young couple were joking around and showing affection to each other, which made Wang Min very happy. Her recent depressed mood was swept away.
The setting sun outside the window stretched the shadows of the three people very long, interweaving on the ground to form a warm picture.
Before we knew it, it was evening.
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru naturally stayed in Wangchun Hall for dinner.
The atmosphere among the three of them was just right. They didn't care about not talking while eating or sleeping, and just chatted casually.
The small kitchen in Wangchun Hall specially made Yuan Wanru's favorite braised pork.
Wang Min personally picked up a piece of fat and lean meat and put it in her bowl: "I know you like to eat this. Now that the weather is getting hotter, I specifically asked you to use less soy sauce and make it lighter. Come and try it. Is it to your taste?"
Seeing this, Lu Jiangnian picked up the bowl and filled Wang Min with mushroom chicken soup: "Mom, eat more too. Grandma has been making a lot of noise these days. I'm afraid you haven't eaten well."
Speaking of the old lady, Wang Min naturally thought of Lu Wei.
She smiled bitterly and told them about Lu Wei's complaints during this period.
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru looked at each other.
"Mom, eat first. If there's anything, we can talk after you're full."
Lu Jiangnian didn't want to mention Lu Wei as it would affect his appetite.
If she hadn't been selfish and acted recklessly, how could Liang Yusong have found the opportunity to put a curse on him?
Wang Min didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words, but Yuan Wanru reacted immediately.
It seems that Lu Jiangnian is preparing to tell Wang Min about his poisoning.
It’s time to let Wang Min know some things. She can’t be confused and kept in the dark.
The Liang family and they are already mortal enemies. As the mistress of the family, Wang Min must be vigilant at all times.
After the meal, the maids cleared away the dishes and served freshly brewed fragrant tea.
Lu Jiangnian waved his hand to dismiss the servants, leaving only the three of them in the room.
Lu Jiangnian said seriously, "Mom, although you didn't say it explicitly, I guess you must have thought in your heart that I was too harsh on Lu Wei."
Wang Min's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup created tiny ripples.
She did not deny it, which proved that Lu Jiangnian's words hit the nail on the head.
The room was quiet for a moment.
Wang Min sighed and reached out to hold Yuan Wanru's hand: "Don't think too much. Lu Wei was wrong about that matter and she can't deny it."
"No matter what you think or do, I won't blame you."
Wang Min turned to look at Lu Jiangnian: "She is my child after all. If you take action, you will destroy her entire life."
"Of course, I know that if she had succeeded, she would have ruined your life."
"So, even though I thought you were going a little too far, I never tried to dissuade you."
"After all, you are the one involved. No one can make the decision for you. You are only able to spare her life because she is your blood relative."
Wang Min is not completely ignorant of her son.
The husband also said that his son is a determined person, better than him, and once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
Similarly, Jiang Nian is also a serious person and his methods are decisive. Anyone who offends him will definitely have a hard time.
Did she ever blame her son?
Probably a little.
But she also felt sorry for him.
It was because Wang Min saw it too clearly that she fell seriously ill after Lu Wei left the capital.
One is her son and the other is her daughter. No matter what she does, she cannot have the best of both worlds.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Lu Wei's mistake has already been made, and you've vented your anger."
"Since you are all here, I will make it clear that you don't have to worry about her affairs from now on."
"But I will not allow the Liu family to torture her."
Yuan Wanru didn't say anything. Lu Jiangnian snorted coldly, "She's made more than just that one mistake."
His eyes turned cold, "Do you know that because of her momentary confusion, she almost cost her son his life?"
"What?"
Wang Min got so excited that she accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. The porcelain fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered all over the floor. The tea splashed all over her skirt and sleeves.
Yuan Wanru held her down and said, "Mom, don't move. Be careful not to prick your foot."
Lu Jiangnian also hurriedly shouted: "My wife, don't move, both of you."
He bent down, took the handkerchief handed to him by Yuan Wanru, wrapped up the broken porcelain pieces, and just put them aside, Wang Min rushed over and grabbed his wrist: "Jiang Nian, what do you mean by this?"
