Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 759: Many Cheats 80
Cui Yuanniang could tell that the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang was truly thinking for her, so she naturally agreed to all of her requests.

At the same time, she also thought that it was no wonder that the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang signed Cui Erniang up for the beauty pageant. She probably didn't want her to enter the palace to fight for the family at all. She was simply so angry after reading this letter that she deliberately brought her into the palace to kill her without bloodshed.

I have to say that her mother was really smart. In this way, she didn't need to have conflicts with Xinxiang Hou and others, and she just dealt with the trash who stole her identity. What's more, Xinxiang Hou and Aunt Han couldn't say anything. It was really refreshing.

After Cui Yuanniang knew her life experience, she began to secretly observe Aunt Han and Marquis of Xinxiang's every move to see if it was as the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang said. If so, it means that she is really the daughter of the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang, which is naturally good. After all, she has always wanted to have the love of her mother. If the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang is really her mother, she will definitely love her, because it can be seen from the attitude of the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang towards her recently.

Openly, they couldn't be too close, lest they be discovered by Aunt Han and her father and it would be bad for her, but secretly, the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang would secretly ask the nanny to give her some good things.

And her observation of Aunt Han also produced results.

However, Aunt Han was worried that her daughter Cui Er Niang was not living well in the palace, so she instigated the Marquis of Xinxiang to send silver to Cui Er Niang so that she could use the silver bullets to pave the way in the palace and live a better life.

No matter what, now that my daughter has entered the palace, I can only hope that she will be favored, otherwise she will be miserable in the future.

It is said that Cui Yuanniang did not believe what the wife of Xinxiang Marquis said to her at first, but after secretly observing, she found that Aunt Han did say that she would send silver to Cui Er Niang in the palace every time Xinxiang Marquis came. Then she thought that Aunt Han treated Cui Er Niang better than herself - Aunt Han said at that time that she was nice to Cui Er Niang to curry favor with the madam, and Cui Yuanniang foolishly believed it - Cui Yuanniang realized that Cui Er Niang might really be Aunt Han's daughter, and she was the madam's daughter.

Thinking of this, Cui Yuanniang couldn't help but resent Aunt Han and even her father, Marquis of Xinxiang. After all, if they hadn't switched her, she would have lived with the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang since childhood, and she wouldn't know how happy she would have been.

Fortunately, it is not too late now. I just have to do as my mother told me and not show any abnormality, lest Aunt Han finds out and will definitely target me and not let me have an easy time. After all, they are scumbags. How can scumbags be good people? They won't do anything to me?
Now, just like her mother said, if Cui Er Niang does not do well in the palace, Aunt Han will be all alone and may change her attitude towards her. She has been waiting for this day, so that she can use her power to ask the Marquis of Xinxiang to find a good marriage for her and quickly leave this den of tigers and wolves, so as not to stay in such an environment all day long and have to be on guard against Aunt Han every day. She feels too tired.

However, after Aunt Han cried and complained to Marquis Xinxiang, Marquis Xinxiang did plan to send some money to the palace so that Aunt Cui could live a better life in the palace.

Although Cui Erniang was the daughter of a marquis, she was given the title of mistress of a palace as soon as she entered the palace and became Concubine Cui, but she was not favored, so even if she was given the title of mistress of a palace, it was of no use.

However, after being conferred the title of concubine, she did have the power to have family members visit her, but she had to apply to the empress or the empress dowager. Moreover, only biological parents had the right to visit, and no one else had this right. In other words, even if there was a visit, it would be the Marquis of Xinxiang and his wife, and Aunt Han would have nothing to do with it. Even if Aunt Han had this daughter, it would still be like having no daughter at all. After all, she would never be able to see her unless she was particularly favored and the emperor showed mercy.

But the one who is favored now is Concubine Wang, and it is very difficult for Concubine Cui to be favored.

Moreover, even if she could visit, there would only be one such opportunity a year at most, and she couldn't see her family whenever she wanted. In addition, she would have to please the Queen or the Empress Dowager, otherwise they would block her from seeing her family, and Cui Erniang would have no other choice.

In addition to the difficulty of visiting, the palace is also the most snobbish place in the world. People who are not favored will have a very hard time in the palace.

Not to mention anything else, just the price of food alone is unbearable for those who are not favored.

Of course there are daily supplies in the palace, but they are all common foods. If you are greedy and want to eat something other than these, or if the supplies are not enough and you want to eat more, you can buy them yourself... I'm sorry, the prices are outrageous.

To give a simple example, if you wanted to buy eggs in addition to the daily necessities provided by the palace, each egg would cost ten taels of silver.

Yes, an egg costs ten taels of silver, not even a pound. The prices in the palace are outrageously expensive.

Therefore, those who are not favored, even if they are concubines, probably do not live as luxuriously as Cui Erniang did in the marquis's mansion. After all, the annual salary of a concubine is not that much. Even if the expenses for social interactions are not calculated and all the money is used to buy eggs, it is still impossible to eat an egg every day. It is scary to think about it.

Although the Xinxiang Marquis's Mansion had fallen into decline, but as a legitimate daughter, even if she was tired of the standard dishes in the mansion and wanted to eat something else, the Xinxiang Marquis's wife would use her private money to buy it for her, so that she could basically eat whatever she wanted, and she would not have to be unable to afford an egg a day. If the Xinxiang Marquis's wife knew that she remembered this, she would probably be furious. After all, Cui Er Niang was a very bad woman. Whenever she wanted to eat something, she would ask the Xinxiang Marquis's wife to buy it for her. She never spent Han Yi Niang and the Xinxiang Marquis's money and knew how to save money for them.

What to do if the salary is not enough? In order to have a better life, some concubines who are not favored should ask their families to send money to them.

Although the Marquis of Xinxiang planned to send some money to the palace, it was really only a little bit, because as mentioned before, the Marquis of Xinxiang's Mansion was in decline, and they only had that little salary, plus some of the previously acquired farms. The annual income was nothing compared to that of Prince An's Mansion, so there was no way they could send that much money to the palace.

Moreover, although the Marquis of Xinxiang obeyed Aunt Han's request and exchanged Cui Erniang with Cui Yuanniang, she was a girl after all. No matter how much he loved her, he could not empty out his family fortune to love her. What he cared more about was leaving money to the family.

It was already good enough to be able to give some money to Cui Er Niang. After all, he didn't have so much money to give to other girls in the mansion. Other girls in the mansion only had two taels of pocket money a month.

Because the Marquis of Xinxiang was reluctant to send too much of the mansion's money into the palace, Aunt Han also understood this, so she instigated the Marquis of Xinxiang to ask the Marquis's wife to give money. Anyway, she could not get the Marquis's wife's money, and Aunt Han did not feel bad about spending her money. On the contrary, Aunt Han could get the Marquis of Xinxiang's money, and she was reluctant to spend all his money, otherwise she would have to suffer. How could she do that? Since Cui Er Niang was the "daughter" of the Marquis of Xinxiang's wife, she would definitely be reluctant to let her daughter suffer in the palace, so she let her pay.
