The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 279: Gold

Ah Hu glanced at Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao waved her hand, and Ah Hu quickly loaded the items onto the cart.

Only then did Yun Jiao say to Mrs. Li: "These are not suitable for you to use."

"If you want jewelry, in a few days, when I’m free, I’ll take you to the silver house to have some made."

Mrs. Li felt extremely aggrieved; comparing the silver house’s jewelry to that from the Prince Mansion isn’t even a contest.

Her disgruntled words burst out, "I despise jewelry from the silver house! Why are you so selfish? I gave birth to you, raised you, and you can’t even spare a piece of jewelry when I ask for it. Can I still expect you to honor me in the future?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yun Jiao laughed in anger, "Oh, honor?"

"So you were waiting for me to honor you, huh? Well, I’ll tell you today, don’t expect anything from me, alright? Giving you a bowl of food is just because you gave birth to me."

Such words were considered utterly rebellious in this era, but those nearby, Mrs. Chen, Ah Hu, as well as Jiang Youzhi and Gu Chuan under the porch of the east wing, all pretended they hadn’t heard.

Ah Hu finished loading the items, Yun Jiao got onto the cart, and it exited through the side gate.

Mrs. Li watched as the entire room was cleared out, and she hadn’t gotten anything. Unable to hold back, she cried in grievance.

Mrs. Chen had originally been watching beside, afraid that Ah Hu would bump into things, but seeing Yun Jiao and her mother have a disagreement, she had left early.

Gu Chuan walked over from the porch of the east wing, having seen everything just now and said, "Mother, why cry? There never was a reason for daughters to support their parents in the world."

"Neither is there a reason for married daughters to support their brothers."

He pressed his lips together, "Sister has already had it tough enough."

"Didn’t you hear her voice is hoarse?"

"Taking care of you is supposed to be my responsibility. The things you want, when I grow up, and can earn money, I’ll buy them for you. Sister is already married; even if she earns a mountain of gold and silver, it’s hers."

Mrs. Li was left speechless by Gu Chuan, who was not yet eight years old.

Jiang Youzhi was under the porch of the east wing, simply watching quietly, not speaking.

Xiao Chuan knows gratitude and even cares for his sister; he is a child with a righteous heart, speaking with clear thinking and sensible words.

He beckoned to Gu Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, bring your homework here, let me check it over for you."

Gu Chuan obediently went back to his room to get his homework.

Ah Hu drove the cart to the warehouse area, helping to carry the items inside.

Then he tactfully went out and stood guard outside the main gate.

Yun Jiao went back and forth several times, finally putting all the items into the medicine storage room.

A whole box of gold, she couldn’t carry it, had to divide it to move it inside several times.

When she came out of the medicine storage, she took two ingots of twenty taels each, pressing them into her bosom.

She busied herself and carried out some medicinal materials, and then left.

Returning home, Yun Jiao saw Mrs. Chen sitting under the lamp in the living room, stitching shoe soles. Those shoes were being made for her; some days ago, Mrs. Chen measured her size.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Li sat idly beside.

Yun Jiao pulled out two ingots of gold from her bosom and handed them to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen took them, feeling the hefty weight of the gold in her hands.

Yun Jiao smiled and said, "Mom, the gold from the Prince Mansion is of good quality; tomorrow you can take it to the silver house to make some jewelry."

"Make a bracelet for San Ya, a pair of earrings, don’t let her plug tea stalks in her ears anymore."

"Mom, make yourself a pair of bracelets, and also get some gold hairpins, and wear some earrings."

Mrs. Chen quickly said, "That’s not going to use up so much, it’s forty taels, isn’t it? Besides—"

She glanced at Mrs. Li beside her.
