Chapter 191: Being disrespectful to an old man!
Oh no, how did Li Qingwan hear it?
"Ma'am, you are here?"
Nanny Zhang didn't expect that she had heard everything, so she immediately stood up and saluted Li Qingwan with a fake smile. Li Qingwan strode to the front of Madam Sima and looked at her coldly, "Mother, what did you just say? Qingwan doesn't understand!"
"Qingwan, you're here!"
When Madam Sima saw that she had heard it, she was not impatient and looked at her with a smile, "Qingwan, you look so serious, the person mother is talking about is of course you."
"I?"
Li Qingwan had seen enough of the old woman's hypocrisy. She had heard her little plans, but she could still say expressionlessly that this person was her. She was indeed an old fox, and her tail was too cunning.
"Of course it's you. Think about it. You are now a royal supplier. This is the glory of our Sima family. You are the daughter-in-law of the Sima family. Having such a capable daughter-in-law like you, what else can this be?"
Even the maid Zi'er couldn't stand listening to Madam Sima's words. How could the old lady have the nerve to say such words? She was clearly talking about the daughter of the Wang family?
Li Qingwan knew that she was lying to her, but she did not expose her intentionally. Instead, she sat on the bed with a smile on her face, "Mother, you are too kind to Qingwan."
"How can it be called a compliment? You deserve it. Qingwan, have you counted all the properties under your name?"
Madam Sima had already started to think about her property, but Li Qingwan smiled when she saw how anxious she was. "Don't worry, mother. I will take stock. The year-end banquet is coming soon. I will personally hand it over to A Yue in front of everyone!"
As expected, Li Qingwan's words made Madam Sima very happy. She reached out and held Li Qingwan's wrist, her eyes full of kindness. "It's not a good thing for a woman to be too strong. If she can wash her hands and cook, and have a harmonious family, it's not a bad idea. You and A Yue should have another child. With a child, you will have someone to rely on. What do you think?"
Listen to what nonsense this is. He just praised her for her ability, and as soon as the issue of property transfer was mentioned, he said that women should not be too strong and should return to the family.
This old woman tells lies without blushing.
Li Qingwan didn't want to expose her, she just smiled and said, "Mother, I already have Run'er. Didn't you say that Run'er would be a supporter as well?"
"This……"
"Oh, Madam, it is naturally better to have many children and grandchildren. Run'er is your son. Wouldn't it be better to have another one to keep him company? Madam, what do you think?"
Aunt Zhang was also trying to smooth things over, but Li Qingwan coughed and said, "Mother and Aunt are both right. When I have some rest in the future, A Yue and I will work hard!"
"This is my good daughter-in-law!"
"Mother, I need your help with something. I don't know..."
"What's the matter?"
When Madam Sima heard that she wanted her help with something, she became a little wary. After all, she didn't want to spend any more time on the stepping stone, nor did she want to give her any benefits.
Li Qingwan pretended to be embarrassed and slowly stood up. "Although we have been selected as the royal supplier, I dare not slack off. Do you know how high the requirements of the Seven Colors Weaving Master are?"
Her words made Madam Sima frown slightly, "Qingwan, what's wrong?"
"The Seven Colors Weaving Company hopes that we can continue to weave new fabrics to supply the palace, but Qingwan has no other new fabrics to make now, so I want to ask mother for help."
"I don't have any new cloth here, so I've given you all I can!"
Sure enough, the old woman was unwilling to give her new cloth. Her most precious treasure was to be left for the new daughter-in-law. How could she possibly give it to Li Qingwan as a stepping stone?
"But Qingwan remembers that her aunt said that her mother still has new cloth. If her mother can give it to Qingwan, Qingwan will definitely satisfy Seven Colors. The supplier is selected once a year. If we have new cloth of stable quality every year, Madam Su will have no way to deal with us."
"This……"
Madam Sima knew what Li Qingwan wanted to do and she also wanted her most precious treasure, but she didn't want to give it to her. Once the year-end banquet was over and Li Qingwan's property was in her hands, she would have no use for it!
Why waste her treasure?
After a pause, Madam Sima shook her head helplessly, "Qingwan, it's not that mother won't give you any, it's that we really don't have any new cloth. The ones you took were all treasures at the bottom of the box, and now they have been contributed to the royal family. We don't have any more new cloth."
"Yes, ma'am, the old lady has done her best."
"In that case, Qingwan will take her leave."
She turned around and stood up to leave. After taking a few steps, Madam Sima behind her asked softly, "Qingwan, what are you going to do with the silver that was sent today?"
She wanted to get the silver and save it first so that she could use it to help A Yue get married in the future. Li Qingwan naturally knew what the old woman was thinking. Did she still want the silver for free?
There are no doors!
"That money has already been used to buy raw materials. It's a deposit and can't be used indiscriminately."
"Already used it?"
When Madam Sima learned that the money had been used, she was a little angry, "Qingwan, why didn't you tell mother before you used the money?"
Seeing that she wanted to take power, Li Qingwan bowed slightly, with an indifferent attitude, "When I wanted to tell you, you were resting, and I didn't want to disturb you. I thought these small things didn't need to be reported. Mother, are you angry?"
Old Madam Sima was naturally angry. In the past, the family had to report all the money spent to her, even if it was a small amount. But now, this stepping stone can make the decision by himself, and there is no room for compromise at all.
"How could that be? Since you have already dealt with it, I will do as you wish. However, next time you encounter such a thing, you must report it to mother, so that I will know what to do."
"It depends on the situation. It's too small to bother mother. I'll make the decision myself."
"you……"
Madam Sima was so angry at her words that her face turned green, but she still couldn't vent her dissatisfaction to Li Qingwan, so she could only endure it, "Okay, okay, you are the mistress, it's right for you to make the decision on these matters, I am old and useless."
"How can mother say that you are old? You are still strong and healthy, and you will live a long life."
Li Qingwan was about to vomit, but she still bowed slightly to the old woman, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first. You have a good rest, and I'll have someone call you for dinner."
After saying this, Li Qingwan turned around and walked out with a bad attitude. After she left, Madam Sima was so angry that she was about to smash the cup. She pointed at Li Qingwan's back and cursed, "Look at what she has become now. Do you still take me, your mother, seriously?"
"Old Madam, calm down. Don't you notice that her temper is getting worse and worse?"
Aunt Zhang's words made the old lady's face darken. In fact, she had a clue in her heart. She could sense the changes in Li Qingwan's attitude towards her and her son these days. Could it be...
"She knows the truth?"
