He would pass it to Madame Wu and have her treat Dong Zhu as a gift to buy a new set of clothes to change into, as well as eat a full meal at the same time.

Madame Wu naturally accepted it happily, and holding the Eastern Pearl tightly in her hand, she rushed over to the pawnshop and traded the Eastern Pearl for silver.

After that, he tidied himself up and ate several large bowls of marvel.

Only then did she burp as she slowly walked to the front of the house of the Marquis to meet with Cheng Weiwu.

Cheng Weiwu also remembered how Madame Wu raised him up, so he didn't avoid her and took out five taels of silver from his body, placing it in Madame Wu's palm.

Once Madame Wu saw that she had obtained the silver, she took care of Cheng Weiwu passionately.

But as Cheng Xiuhua watched on from the side, she could not hold back and cleared her throat: "In the future, there will be someone who will send silver over to you all every month, just treat it as Little Wu's filial piety. But don't think that you can make even an inch of progress either, you think that you can take it again after using it all up this month."

"Ah?" This … This … "This is too..." Before he could finish speaking the last two words, "harsh", Cheng Xiuhua pointed at Cheng Guanyue who was standing beside Cheng Weiwu like a wooden stake.

In an instant, Madame Wu withdrew her difficult expression and said obediently: "Alright, I'll remember it. I'll definitely use it sparingly every month."

"Then, you should leave after reading it, right? But let me remind you, if that uncle of mine wants to take in a concubine, then tell him that the Hou Mansion will not only get rid of his name, but will also stop giving you every month's worth of silver. At that time, all you can do is sleep on the streets hungry. " Cheng Xiuhua did this for the sake of the Hou clan.

After all, Madame Wu wasn't a weak character, so she could take whatever she wanted.

Moreover, if Cheng Fengyang insisted on taking a concubine, then the two of them would definitely cause a ruckus. At that time, half of the capital would know that Cheng Fengyang was the eldest son of the Marquis family, and he would have crossed the line before the eldest son could take a concubine.

It might even lead to misunderstandings. Perhaps those small officials who wanted to curry favor with the house of the Marquis might even send their daughters into the manor as concubines. At that time, her father would be ruthlessly punished by her mother.

So just to be safe, Cheng Xiuhua had to remind Madame Wu in advance that she definitely could not make this kind of shameful mistake.

Cheng Weiwu also knew what Cheng Xiuhua was worried about, so he also reminded her, "Mother, just do as Sister Xiuhua said and pass these words onto my father, telling him not to think about enjoying his life too much, it will not benefit him, you, and me, as well as the entire house of the Marquis."

"Fine, I know. I will definitely tell him these words. If he dares to have any intention of taking a concubine, even if I die, I will not let him succeed." Madame Wu was not a quiet person. Furthermore, if Cheng Fengyang really wanted to bring back a concubine, then there would definitely be no place for her in the house.

Moreover, she was already used to Cheng Fengyang listening to everything she said. In the past, no matter what she said, Cheng Fengyang was a person that would never go west. If he really dared to do that to her, even if she died, she would drag him along with her.

At least she was the only one who didn't want Cheng Fengyang, and no Cheng Fengyang didn't want her.

"Little Wu, don't blame me for speaking so harshly to your mother just now. If I don't restrain them in this way, they will grow greedier and greedier. I'm afraid that it will also have a bad effect on you and will also cause a huge problem for the reputation of Hou Mansion." Cheng Xiuhua definitely could not let the two rats poop out a pot of soup. Moreover, the Cheng Clan had already shown extreme kindness to Madame Wu and Cheng Fengyang.

If it was anyone else, they would not have received a single silver coin, and would have been permanently removed from the family tree.

Therefore, Cheng Xiuhua felt that she had not done anything wrong at the Marquis Mansion, and it was even a very benevolent action.

Cheng Weiwu watched Madame Wu's back as she walked far away, and there wasn't anything particularly awkward in her heart.

On the contrary, his expression was normal, "Sister Xiuhua, you don't need to explain to me. I know what kind of virtue my father and mother have, they should definitely manage it a little like this.

"Since you think like this, it means that you have been truly filial to your father and mother. Knowing what to do is the best thing to do for them." Cheng Xiuhua was very happy that the only good thing Madame Wu and Cheng Fengyang had done in their lives was to give birth to her.

Otherwise, their family would have turned into a mess and their wives would be separated from each other.

Even when they were old, no one was willing to take care of them. They could only die in loneliness in the hands of their subordinates, and no one had even collected their corpses.

Hearing the conversation between Cheng Xiuhua and Cheng Guan Yue, she also patted Cheng Weiwu's shoulders as she sighed.

Although his parents truly weren't any good people, they had, after all, raised him for so many years.

That was why Cheng Guanyue decided to give them a bit of silver every month as a living allowance. Coincidentally, the total amount of money for the two of them was fifty taels of silver. As for the rewards for the servants, as well as the money for the food and cloth, all of it was provided by the house of the Marquis.

It could be said that they didn't have any burdens at all. They ate and slept in plenty of clothes, and were even more comfortable than the average rich and powerful people.

Cheng Weiwu naturally understood the arrangement of Cheng Guanyue, but he had no objections to it. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Cheng Guanyue for what he had done to his father and his mother.

At the very least, his father owed his godmother and eldest brother. In the future, he would also become a capable and capable person. Only then would he be able to properly repay them.

Su Chunmei and Cheng Fengyue also agreed wholeheartedly to Cheng Guanyue's decision. Although Cheng Fengyue and Madame Wu couldn't really be considered to be a couple with a conscience, they were still siblings, so it was better for them not to overdo things as they possessed a little bloodline.

Cheng Xiuhua, on the other hand, looked at the account book in heartache. She had to pay a monthly fee of fifty silver taels, and although she did not show it on her face, her heart ached for those silver taels.

I hope that Cheng Fengyang, Madame Wu and the others will talk about their conscience and not become demons again.

"Warmth, why do you think there's not a trace of this eighty thousand taels of silver? Could it be that Second Madam is unwilling to pay it back?" Cheng Xiuhua looked at the empty spot on the account sadly, and said worriedly.

"Didn't our mother go to urge him about this?" Cheng Guanyue seriously followed the method that her aunt had taught her before they returned to the village. She made a bow with three pairs of butterfly jades hanging on it. They looked quite elegant, suitable for both men and women.

"Our mother did go to urge her, but Second Madam kept saying that she had no money …" "If she doesn't have any money, she can only drag on like this. However, I heard from Fragrance that this Second Madam seems to be sticking to her parents' side. I didn't see her brother take out a single silver coin. Do you think this Second Madam is stupid?" Cheng Xiuhua's last sentence was said softly, so soft that it sounded like mosquitoes. It was probably only heard by Cheng Guanyue, who was the closest to her.
