C29 The Ancients Are Honest with Me

Maybe it was because Jiang Wan was sleeping restlessly with an unfamiliar man beside her.

Even though it was early in the morning, he still looked pale.

Qin Si had something to attend to so he left early in the morning. When Peanut came in to set breakfast, he said worriedly: "Madam, you look so bad. Did you not sleep well last night?"

"A little. "No worries, go inside first and look after Little Chixi. I'll have my own meal." Jiang Wan said lazily.

Peanut did as he was told and entered the inner room.

After having breakfast, Jiang Wan remembered that she had confiscated Mrs Zhang's money yesterday. However, since she couldn't wait while doing business, she could only think of a way to find private money.

"Peanut, do you know which cage we use to store money in?"

Jiang Wan carried Little Chixi, who had already woken up, and asked Peanut, who was cleaning up the dishes. She did not forget to whisper, "Too many things are thrown in disarray, where can I find them …"

"Has Madame forgotten?"

Peanut was stunned. He turned his head and smiled. "You've always kept that box for me."

Jiang Wan choked.

Luckily, he opened his mouth and tried it out. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find the money to tell Qin Si. Otherwise, he would be unable to get it back no matter how hard he tried.

"Now that you mention it, I remember!" Jiang Wan smacked her forehead. "I didn't believe what Eldest Sister-in-law said about being pregnant for three years. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid I'll have to believe it no matter what."

"Madam suffered during her pregnancy and when she gave birth to Young Master, it did not affect her memory at all." Peanut cleaned up the tableware and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. Then, he took the key from his waist and handed it to Jiang Wan, "Madam, please let this servant keep these. Take a look at what you need. This servant will take them right away."

Jiang Wan glanced at it subconsciously before instructing her, "The box that holds the banknotes, go and get it. Since the family doesn't have enough money, I plan to hand some of it over to the court."

"Alright, then I'll go and fetch them after I've finished packing."

Peanut made a crisp sound, put the key back to his waist, and went out with a bunch of bowls and chopsticks.

After Jiang Wan found the most important money, she felt relieved that she would have an explanation even if she asked Qin Si again.

Jiang Wan was looking forward to the private money, but Peanut was busy, so she didn't keep urging him, so she just carried Little Chixi around the house.

As the days went by and the little guy became stronger and stronger, and it was now midsummer, Jiang Wan put on a thin shirt for him. He looked very cute and chubby.

After about the time it takes to make a cup of tea, Peanut walked in with a box in his arms.

Jiang Wan saw it with her sharp eyes and immediately put Little Chixi on the bed with a smile and waited for Peanut to enter the room.

"Madam, this servant has brought the money. Do you know where I put it?" Peanut said as he lifted the curtain and entered, making a crisp sound.

"Let me take a look first. I've almost forgotten everything I've been doing for the past few days. Let me see how much silver we have left. If we have much left, I can give it to Mother so that we can repair the house."

"Madam is right!" "Let's not talk about anything else. At the very least, we have to make up for it with your roof. Otherwise, when the sky gets cold, you won't be able to freeze Young Master to death."

Peanut placed the small box on the table, his tone filled with indignation. "It's not that this servant is complaining, but this place is too poor. When we were in the capital city, not to mention anything else, even the houses of the servants of the Mansion of the State were better than this."

Since they were already here, how could they compare their former glory to their present glory?

Wouldn't it be getting worse?

"Alright, mother is right, days are passed by in a human way, our Qin Family is not something that could be obtained from the very beginning."

Jiang Wan comforted Peanut, but did not take her eyes off the box.

This was her money.

In the future, he would be able to make a fortune in the business world. It all depended on him.

I really hope that my original body is diligent and thrifty enough. As a husband, Qin Si also has the ability to earn money. If the money is too little, I'm afraid I'll have to speak to my mother-in-law later.

"Madam, here is the key."

Peanut gave her the key.

Jiang Wan smiled and didn't decline.

Using the key to open the lock, Jiang Wan didn't even dare to open her eyes when the box was opened.

She touched it with her hand and felt that there were several silver notes. Immediately, she opened her eyes in delight.

Jiang Wan was surprised to find out that the third house had quite a few small vaults!

There were at least five notes worth a hundred taels of silver and some crushed silver.

"Originally, there should have been even more, but after a bit of fighting, that's all there is to it."

Peanut looked at the box with melancholy.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but cough twice.

It seemed like the Third Young Madam was even richer than the little lass!

As expected, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the ancients do not look down on me.
