Chapter 719: I really don't know what I was fighting for before
Qiao Yuning frowned as expected, "Are you talking about the wife's dowry?"
Yuan Xueqing sighed, "What else could it be besides this? A few days ago, I heard from my servants that the Fourth Master went to the outer study room to discuss this matter with the Master, but I didn't hear anything from him afterwards.
He didn't come to my room to talk about it, and he didn't know anything about the follow-up. Instead, he heard that Yan and Chen had talked about it in other people's chats."
Qiao Yuning couldn't sit still at this moment, "Impossible! Why does the wife's dowry include three bedrooms? The wife only has a son from the fourth master, so her dowry should naturally go to the fourth bedroom!"
When Yuan Xueqing heard what she said, she felt relieved. As long as they could reach an agreement on the same thing, she would be able to speak.
"I have the same idea as you. My wife has just passed away. If we don't clarify this matter, we may not know how it will turn out in the future. But as a daughter-in-law, I can't go to talk to the master.
Talk about this.
I have been looking for Fourth Master for the past two days but there is no clue at all. No one in this house knows where he has gone."
Only then did Qiao Yuning understand the purpose of Yuan Xueqing's visit. She lowered her eyes slightly and thought about things in her mind. After a long while, she said: "If grandma, you are here to ask about my whereabouts, in fact, even I don't know."
"How is that possible?!" Yuan Xueqing couldn't help but exclaimed, and then realized that her reaction was a bit too much, and slowed down her tone, "He didn't go to the study during this time, and there was nothing going on in the yamen outside.
From top to bottom in the house, apart from you, there is no other place he would be willing to go. He has not been back these past few days, where else can he go but you?"
These words actually reminded Qiao Yuning.
Because she had been thinking about that matter for a long time, she no longer cared about Wen Liang's fate. All she cared about was money.
So not only did she not know where Wen Liang had been these past few days, she had never even thought of asking.
Only now did Yuan Xueqing's words make him realize that Wen Liang actually had other places to go.
Seeing her look like this, Yuan Xueqing realized that Qiao Yuning really didn't know where Wen Liang was.
When the two women looked at each other, they both knew the fact that Wen Liang might actually have a destination that they didn't know about.
For Yuan Xueqing, this actually just brought things back to the original point. She still didn't find Wen Liang.
But for Qiao Yuning, it was a strong sense of crisis.
In this world today, she is probably the person who understands Wen Liang best.
With his character, when he is so gloomy, he will only go to a place where he can escape and where his heart can be comforted.
Based on her understanding and control of Wen Liang, this place must be her east wing!
But now...
Her face was covered with a layer of frost, and she immediately called Mingyue in, "Go to Chang Lin's house. If he's not here, keep watch there. I'll keep him there anyway."
Mingyue quickly agreed and went down.
The room fell into silence for a while.
The two women sat on their own, neither of them spoke. Yuan Xueqing glanced at Qiao Yuning from time to time, but Qiao Yuning remained silent, looking where she was looking.
Finally, when Yuan Xueqing peeked at her for the sixth time, Qiao Yuning finally said, "You must be feeling proud!"
Yuan Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "What do I have to be proud of?"
"Stop pretending!" Qiao Yuning followed her words, "Back then, when we were together, we fantasized about our future life and what kind of husband we would have in the future.
As a result, both you and I failed. I became a concubine, but you became a wife without a husband's love. I have a love that you don't have, and you have a status that I don't have.
With your strong temper, you must be secretly comparing yourself to me. The more you don't get something, the more you care about it. Now, if he really has someone else outside, I'm afraid you are also eager to see it.
Make me laugh!
If I don't even have his last favor, doesn't it mean that I still lost to you, and I have nothing in marriage!"
Yuan Xueqing was a little shocked by Qiao Yuning's excitement at this time, but after thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that the other party had revealed her secret thoughts.
As Qiao Yuning said, she has never really accepted her fate.
Even though she knew in her heart that she was not as attractive as Qiao Yuning to men, she never really gave up the idea of taking Wen Liang away from Qiao Yuning.
It's just that this kind of idea is disdainful to her. In her opinion, only those concubines with side wives have such thoughts and would make winning over men their goal.
She is an upright person and does not need these means at all, so she herself does not believe that she would have such an idea.
But now, when the two of them were sitting together and faced with the same embarrassing fact, she truly saw her own heart.
only……
She finally sneered, "I don't need to laugh at you. If he really has someone outside, then wouldn't I, the first wife, be a joke too?"
Qiao Yuning was startled, and then she thought of this.
This is the case for men from wealthy families. They have a concubine on their left and a common roommate. This is done behind closed doors and outsiders can't say anything about it.
But if you have a woman outside, no matter whether she is clean or unclean, you will be discussed by others to some extent.
And these public opinions will inevitably fall on the woman at home. At least one sentence cannot win over the man's heart. As for more words, that's too much.
Qiao Yuning seemed to have won back a victory. The depression on his face was completely wiped away. Instead, he smiled and said, "Man! Is there anyone who doesn't steal something?"
Yuan Xueqing raised her eyebrows, "You're not worried anymore?"
"As long as he returns to this home, as long as he is in this home and still regards me as the most important thing, then what do I have to mind? After all, he can't be my only man."
Yuan Xueqing was so angry at her attitude that she fell down. She really didn't know whether Qiao Yuning was really generous or completely heartless.
She simply stood up and said, "Then why were you so anxious just now?!"
Qiao Yuning raised her eyebrows in a funny way, "Isn't it money that we are worried about?"
Yuan Xueqing was a little shocked and looked at Qiao Yuning blankly for a long time.
After a while, the two of them laughed out loud at the same time, and both felt a sense of relief.
The more the two of them laughed, the more they wanted to laugh, and the louder they laughed.
After a while, she finally stopped slowly. Yuan Xueqing took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from laughter in her eyes, "Looking at it from the looks of it, I really don't know what we were fighting about before!"
