After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 82 Does Jiang Yuyue hate Xie Yunqi?

Madam Xie also had a tense face. Seeing Jiang Yuyue wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she felt even more sorry for the precious great-grandson in her belly.

"Alright, I've troubled you with this matter today. Now that it's settled, go back and get some rest. Your grandmother will take care of things for you in the future."

"Thank you grandma."

Jiang Yuyue bowed slightly and walked out of the courtyard with Xiao Liu, but as soon as she turned the corner, the sorrow on her face vanished instantly.

Feng Ling, who had been following her, witnessed everything that happened today. She was astonished by how quickly Feng Ling's expression changed. She thought that even the best actors in the theater would be ashamed of their acting skills.

Watching Jiang Yuyue enter her own courtyard, and thinking that she wouldn't be going out for a while, Feng Ling immediately went to the westernmost courtyard of the Xie residence.

That's roughly the situation.

Feng Ling gave a concise report to her master about Jiang Yuyue's actions that day.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing these words, Xie Jinglan simply leaned back lazily on the soft couch behind him, his expression melting away like ice and snow, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, a smile that had not been seen for a long time.

Jixiang was equally shocked, only relieved that she hadn't provoked this person, otherwise who knows what kind of revenge she would have suffered...

"Go back and keep an eye on things first."

Xie Jinglan closed his eyes and said casually, "I'm sure something interesting will happen today."

Although Jiang Yuyue's methods were somewhat unscrupulous, she ultimately achieved her goal, and her ruthless style suited Xie Jinglan's taste perfectly.

However, the only thing he was curious about was what grudge the Xie family held against her that made her go to such lengths to frame them.

The Xie family's current situation can only be described as walking on thin ice. Even if Jiang Yuyue does nothing, given their current state, the Xie family will not be able to hold on for more than a year.

Such relentless pursuit is no ordinary form of hatred.

"Have you investigated the background of the Jiang family? Is it true that she has no prior grudges against the Xie family?"

Xie Jinglan asked Jixiang, who was standing to the side, and Jixiang shook her head firmly.

"Your Highness, the only connection between the Jiang family and the Xie family is that Madam Jiang delivered the baby for Madam Xie and arranged the marriage. Apart from that, there has been no other contact. The day Jiang Yuyue married into the Xie family was the first time she met the Xie family."

That's strange.

Xie Jinglan suddenly opened his eyes and looked north from inside the room, his gaze deepening.

If Jiang Yuyue hated Xie Yunqi, she should never have foreseen his later affair with the princess.

But her actions suggest she is well aware of this.

……

Jiang Yuyue returned to her courtyard and rested for more than half an hour. As night fell and it was almost time for dinner, she instructed, "It's about time. Xiao Liu, have Shi Ding Lou bring the food over."

"Yes."

After responding, Xiao Liu went out. When she returned, she was followed by dozens of Shi Ding Lou waiters, carrying full food boxes in both hands, delivering the food to Madam Xie's courtyard.

As the colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes were placed on the table, Madam Xie was full of surprise. She hadn't eaten dishes of this quality for a long time. She was so lucky to have such a treat today.

"Where did this food come from?!"

"It was my granddaughter-in-law who asked them to bring it."

Jiang Yuyue walked in with a smile, saying, "I thought that we had taken back the shop today, and such a happy occasion deserved a proper celebration. In addition, in order to get rid of bad luck, and since we haven't had such a lively meal in a long time, I ordered food from Shidinglou and asked them to deliver it."

"My granddaughter-in-law has already sent the servants to invite all the elders and siblings-in-law. Today, for the sake of celebration, not only us, but also the servants of the household can share in our joy. Everyone will have a share of the food."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's first reaction was to be shocked by Jiang Yuyue's wealth.

The food at Shidinglou is not cheap; a single dish can easily cost more than ten taels of silver. Now, she has set up such a large table, and even the servants are served food.

"It's good that you have this idea, but it will probably cost a lot of money, right?"

Madam Xie couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "Our family isn't well-off these days, not like before. You mustn't spend money so extravagantly anymore."

"Grandmother need not worry about the money."

Jiang Yuyue explained with a smile, "The cost of today's meal was paid for by my granddaughter-in-law personally, and no money from the public account was used."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie began to make plans again. It seemed she would have to get more money from Jiang Yuyue.

However, upon hearing that it wasn't the Xie family's money that was spent, Old Madam Xie's tone immediately changed, "Since you have this intention, then we naturally have to appreciate it."

As they talked, the rest of the Xie family arrived one after another. Xie Yuan, who had been confined for half a month, was immediately confronted with such a grand scene upon her release, and couldn't help but drool as she stared at the various delicacies on the table.

I had planned to settle scores with that brat Xie Zhi as soon as my confinement period was over, but it seems she's lucky today. I'll spare her life for now, considering the food.

"Today, Yue'er is treating us to dinner."

Madam Xie's face lit up with joy. "Why don't you sit down and eat quickly? It won't be good if the food gets cold."

Jiang Yuyue noticed out of the corner of her eye that Xie Erlang and Xie Jinbo had entered the courtyard before presenting the box she was carrying.

“Grandmother, this is the land deed you gave me today.”

Jiang Yuyue raised her voice slightly, "Now that the matter is settled, your granddaughter-in-law will return everything in full. Please count them and see if there are any missing?"

"I trust Yue'er to handle things, so there's no need to count."

With these dishes, Madam Xie smiled broadly and casually put the box aside, saying, "Let's eat first."

Xie Jinbo's eyes lit up when he saw the box full of land deeds. Jiang Yuyue glanced at his reaction and knew that she had achieved her goal.

The Xie family's financial situation is deteriorating day by day. They didn't even get to eat anything decent at the previous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Now that they have a rare opportunity to taste such delicacies, everyone took their seats early, waiting for Old Madam Xie to start eating first.

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was still standing to the side without sitting down, Madam Xie immediately asked with concern, "Yuyue, why aren't you sitting down yet?"

Jiang Yuyue pointed to a separate food box in Xiao Liu's hand and said, "I was worried that my third brother's health was not good, and that these dishes were too oily for him to eat, so I bought a few medicinal dishes to send to him. Grandmother, you don't need to wait for me, I'll be right back."

Unexpectedly, that bastard child received such special treatment at a time like this. Madam Xie snorted coldly, "In the end, Yue'er is still kind-hearted, willing to spend money separately for this short-lived ghost who won't live for more than a few days."

Jiang Yuyue smiled gently, "After all, he is still a member of our Xie family. Even if he doesn't have many days left to live, we still have to take care of him. At worst, we can consider it as doing a good deed."
