Chapter 324: Don’t Worry About Marriage When You’re Old

Yuan Wanru looked at her with a smile: "My idea is very simple, just give me the silver."

Zhou Fang almost laughed out loud.

People are so strange. When they are unlucky, they are extremely depressed, but when someone else is unlucky with them, they seem to be able to accept it.

In particular, those who share the same misfortune with you usually act like elders and behave in a very arrogant manner, but they end up with the same fate as you.

My mood improved instantly.

Mrs. Lu's wrinkled eyes were as big as bells, and the sandalwood Buddhist beads she was twisting in her hands made a rattling sound. "You want money?"

The sound seemed to come from an ice cellar, and the temperature in Wangchun Hall dropped several degrees in an instant.

Yuan Wanru straightened her back, her silky summer silk skirt outlining her beautiful figure. Her red lips curled up slightly: "Yes, money is the most real thing."

Zhou Fang covered her mouth, fearing that she would accidentally expose herself and anger Madam Lu.

The servants present even breathed cautiously.

The old lady slowly stood up and said, "Yuan Wanru, you are so shameless and full of commercialism. The Lu family has raised you for so many years, and you are still not satisfied?"

She spoke slowly, "You keep talking about money. You've already blackmailed your second aunt, and you're not satisfied yet. Now you're plotting against me?"

Yuan Wanru chuckled and ate a piece of dessert gracefully. She was really a little hungry.

"Old lady, don't get excited."

"Giving money as a gift requires mutual consent. Just now, Second Aunt was very happy to give out a sum of money."

"Right, Second Aunt?"

Zhou Fang laughed awkwardly.

She just wanted to watch the old lady make a fool of herself quietly, and hoped that no one would notice her.

Old Madam Lu glared at Zhou Fang with disdain. What a fool who was holding us back. Are you giving up so soon?

Yuan Wanru's lips curled slightly, her fingertips tapping lightly on the coffee table. "If the old lady doesn't want to spend money," she said, her eyes flickering, her tone brisk as if she were discussing the weather, "then it's okay not to spend money."

You could hear a pin drop in the hall.

Old Madam Lu didn't believe that she would become so easy to talk to. She put down the teacup in her hand heavily and stared at Yuan Wanru without blinking.

"Anyway," Yuan Wanru said, "you're old now, and you don't have to worry about getting married. I can't threaten you."

"puff……"

Lu Jiangnian, who was sitting next to him, spat out a mouthful of tea. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned his head in time, otherwise he was really afraid that the brown tea stains would splash onto his grandmother's moon-white gown.

Yuan Wanru took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Really, you can choke while drinking tea, what's going on?"

"If you stain the old lady's clothes, watch out for your skin."

Lu Jiangnian took the handkerchief she handed him and wiped it casually.

He thought to himself, can he be blamed for this?

My lady, what you said is too scary.

My grandmother is already old, but my wife still insists on making fun of her marriage. She really dares to say anything.

Lu Jiangnian took the opportunity to secretly glance at his grandmother who was sitting in the main seat. He saw that her face was ashen. She must have been very angry about his wife's unorthodox words.

Is this a satire on grandma being old?

Anyway, these words sound heartbreaking.

"Asshole!" Old Madam Lu slammed the table so hard that the teacup jumped up.

Her well-maintained hands were now bulging with veins and her knuckles were white. "Yuan Wanru! You...you..."

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her lips trembled and she didn't know what to say.

Yuan Wanru stroked her temples calmly, "Old Madam, please don't be angry."

Her tone was sincere, but her eyes gleamed with cunning. "Second Aunt cares about Second Brother's marriage. She is willing to apologize. The Cao family's uncles will take care of the Cao family's cousin's marriage."

"As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Anyway, this is not the old lady's marriage. Whether I cancel this marriage or not is not your business."

"Isn't this all the truth?"

Wang Min was horrified as he listened.

Wanru's anger is really strong. I hope the old lady will get hurt by her anger.

"Shut up!" Old Madam Lu shouted, but she couldn't hide the trembling in her voice.

She stared at Yuan Wanru intently, and her cloudy old eyes now emitted a light as sharp as a knife.

Old Madam Lu really didn't want to see this face again. She didn't think so before, but now, every time she looked at her, she felt that Yuan Wanru looked hideous.

The slightly upturned corners of her eyes made her look like a vixen, and the corners of her mouth that were always smiling seemed to be mocking her, an old woman.

"Tell me, how much silver do you want?" The old lady squeezed out these words from between her teeth, her voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against her teeth.

Yuan Wanru was not in a hurry to answer. She slowly stretched out a finger, which was white and slender, as white as jade, and very beautiful.

Zhou Fang's round eyes widened even more, and the embroidered handkerchief in her hand unconsciously twisted into a knot.

She couldn't hold back her anger and couldn't help but look at Yuan Wanru: "One thousand taels?"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

The old lady is rich!

Zhou Fang stamped her feet in her heart. Isn’t Yuan Wanru very calculating? Why did she get confused at the critical moment?

It’s only one thousand taels, so I won’t feel bad about it.

The old lady's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and the Buddhist beads in her hand twirled rapidly.

"Madam Cao," she said without even raising her eyelids, "give her a thousand taels of silver right away."

His tone was full of contempt as if he was dismissing a beggar.

Nanny Cao, who was standing by, responded immediately and turned around to get the silver. She walked hurriedly and looked impatient, as if she was afraid that Yuan Wanru would go back on her word.

The old lady rubbed her temples. She had come here intending to find fault with the person, but she didn't expect to be so angry that her eyes turned black.

If she continued talking about it, she was worried that it would shorten her life.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Wanru suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, but it made Madam Lu shiver.

"The old lady is of noble status," Yuan Wanru smiled particularly beautifully, and the pearl earrings on her ears swayed gently with her movements.

"How about one thousand taels?"

She opened her red lips slightly and said word by word: "One marriage costs 10,000 taels, and two cousins, so the total is 20,000 taels.

“Twenty thousand taels?!”

The old lady gasped, and her wrinkled face turned red instantly, as if she had been punched in the chest.

"Are you robbing money?" The old lady squeezed out these words from between her teeth, her voice changing in tone.

Yuan Wanru remained calm and unhurried. She touched the pendant on her ear and looked at Lu Jiangnian innocently: "I heard that the Cao family gave the old lady a lot of dowry. Over the years, my father and uncles have always remembered to give to the old lady any good things they have."

"I think twenty thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket for the old lady. Husband, am I wrong?"

Lu Jiangnian tried hard to hold it in, not to appear too gloating.

My wife is so bad.

Others may not know, but he knows it best.

The marriage of the two cousins ​​of the Cao family was a business with a clear price tag from the beginning. The lady had already pocketed the money, so how could she be the kind of person who would break the contract and then destroy the bridge after crossing it?

The so-called breaking off of engagement was just a way to scare my grandmother.

But my grandmother took the bait.

This lady's unfazed and unyielding demeanor is really...

It's so cute.
