My Wife is a Psychic

224 Asking For Money

“Last time, Yang Fen wanted to come to the mansion to find you, but she bumped into Zhao Panpan’s palanquin at the door. After being scolded by the servant girls, she obediently went back. This time, I’m afraid she has a favor to ask of you.” Song Yun shook her head. Yang Fen had always been unreasonable. It could be considered that she had improved since she did not talk back after being scolded by her maidservant.

When Jiang Xi arrived at Jiang Si’s mansion in the palanquin, she found that it was surprisingly large. Jiang Xi frowned, wondering what kind of agreement or deal Lord Xiao had made with Jiang Si. The guard at the gate of the mansion was so arrogant that his nostrils almost reached the sky. When he saw that it was the palanquin of the Zhao family, he hurriedly restrained his expression and went forward to speak.

“So it’s the Young Master’s wife who has returned. This little one has eyes but failed to see,” The guard said in a flattering and smooth tone.

“Yang Fen likes people who flatter her, so the house is full of such people,” Song Yun said sarcastically. Although her maternal family was only a small governor, they were not so unruly. Since Yang Fen came from the village, she liked it when people called her Old Madam. She always felt that if she was called that, she would also be a high-class person.

“A dog relying on its master’s power,” Jiang Xi said softly. She did not like this kind of style very much. When she entered the door, the guard’s face suddenly fell. “Does she think she’s amazing? She’s just a girl who’s been married off. Maybe one day she’ll be jinxed to death by General Zhao.” Before he could finish his sentence, a group of wild dogs suddenly rushed out from the corner and bit at him to scare him, causing the guard to howl in pain.

Jiang Si’s mansion was originally decorated by him. It not only showed the elegance of a scholar but also highlighted his own nobility. However, when Yang Fen came, she changed the decoration of the mansion to red and green. She could not wait to take out all the good things in the warehouse and put them out. It looked very tacky.

“Old Madam, your taste is really good. Look at this material. Only you can show your nobility when you wear it. It’s a waste for others to wear it.”

“Young Master Jiang Si’s current achievements are all thanks to the Old Madam’s good education. That’s why he can shine so brightly in Jing City.”

“Old Madam, please have some tea. When Young Master Jiang passes the exam, you will be the mother of the top scorer. Perhaps Young Master Jiang can ask the Emperor to give you recognition. When you go out in the future, those official wives will have to bow to you.” The maidservants kept flattering her, and Yang Fen was so happy that she could not close her mouth.

How could she live such a life in the Happy Village? Jiang Guoyou was a useless person who did not even have the courage to support his son, so she had to do it. Yang Fen’s smile faded a little when she saw Jiang Xi enter.

“You guys can leave.” Jiang Xi raised her eyes. The scattered and unruly maidservants suddenly felt a little scared and left one by one before Yang Fen could say anything.

Yang Fen slowly sat up and looked at Jiang Xi. “Are you not my daughter anymore after you’re married? I gave you your life, so tell me, do you owe me anything?”

“Don’t you know whether I owe you or not?” Jiang Xi looked at Yang Fen seriously. Yang Fen had raised Jiang Xi and never allowed her to do any household chores. Others thought it was a good thing. Jiang Xi did not know much about the situation when she had just transmigrated, but now she completely understood.

Yang Fen’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered. “I’m the one who gave you your life. If it weren’t for me, you would have died long ago. Give me the money. Jiang Si has to take the exam. I heard that the examiner is from your mother-in-law’s family, and his surname is Xue or something. You should go to the Xue family to help Jiang Si. You wretched girl, you’re married to a great general, but you’re not going to help your family?”

Yang Fen’s face was full of dissatisfaction. “Look at you and then look at your husband’s sister, that pure consort. She’s younger than you, but she’s already the pillar of the Zhao family. When she gives birth to a son, your Zhao family will rise to the heavens, but look at you, you disappointing thing.”

“That’s really fate. I heard that the pure consort grew up in Happy Town. You two are so close, but I don’t see you giving birth to a daughter like her.” Jiang Xi smiled sarcastically. If Zhao Ruifeng had not given the Jiang family a large number of betrothal gifts, Yang Fen would not have agreed to her marriage. Others might not know, but she knew very well. Once, when she went to town, she had seen with her own eyes that Yang Fen had asked around about which rich and powerful families wanted to marry a wife. At that time, Jiang Si was short of money to study. Yang Fen raised Jiang Xi so carefully so that she could be sold at a high price one day and pave the way for Jiang Si’s future.
