Chapter 761: Many Cheats 82
To be honest, Aunt Han didn't know how much wealth Cui Er Niang had at the moment. After all, when they had contacted and communicated with each other before, Aunt Han was more focused on building a relationship with her daughter. After all, she had just acknowledged her daughter, so she didn't focus on building a relationship. Aunt Han was afraid that her daughter would be closer to the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang and wouldn't want to bother with her. So when Marquis of Xinxiang said that the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang had given her daughter a lot of clothes and jewelry, so she didn't have to worry about her daughter having no money in the palace, she thought about how Cui Er Niang did change clothes and jewelry frequently when she met her before, so she believed it and didn't urge Marquis of Xinxiang to persuade the wife of Marquis of Xinxiang to give money.

Ever since the Marquis of Xinxiang found out that his wife had given all her private money to Cui Erniang, he stopped sending money to the palace, thinking that since she had money, there was no point in him sending money into the palace.

——This is also another reason why the wife of Marquis Xinxiang said that she gave all her private money to Cui Erniang. Naturally, she did not want to see Marquis Xinxiang sending public money to the palace. After all, the palace was a bottomless pit and no matter how much money there was, it would all be spent. And now that she said that she gave her private money to Cui Erniang, Marquis Xinxiang thought that she was rich and would definitely not send money to the palace anymore, which would save a lot of money.

Besides, it was not only for the sake of saving, but also because she did not want to see Cui Er Niang spending the public treasury's money. After all, the other girls in the mansion only received two taels of salary per month. How could she get a large sum of money every now and then? How could she?

Seeing that the Marquis of Xinxiang really stopped sending money, the Marquis's wife felt satisfied.

Cui Erniang in the palace was naturally dissatisfied when she saw that the Marquis of Xinxiang had not sent any money since the last time he sent in 200 taels of silver. After all, the palace had high expenses, and what could be done with 200 taels of silver? One thousand taels of silver a month would be best. Of course, she knew that the Marquis of Xinxiang's mansion was in decline, and their total annual income might be only more than 10,000 taels of silver. It was impossible for them to send her 1,000 taels of silver a month, but 200 taels a month should be ok, right?
As a result, almost a month had passed since the last 200 taels of silver was sent, and there was no new silver sent. Cui Erniang was naturally dissatisfied, so she sent a letter to her family, asking Xinxiang Hou to send another 200 taels of silver, and told Xinxiang Hou to send 300 taels of silver every month in the future, saying that the palace spent a lot of money, and if he really couldn't give 300 taels, 200 taels would be fine. Cui Erniang thought that Xinxiang Hou's mansion could earn more than 10,000 taels of silver a year, which was 1,000 taels a month, so 200 or 300 taels for her was not much. However, she never thought about how many people there were in the mansion. If 1,000 taels was spread out on each person, it would not be much. She alone needed 200 or 300 taels, then what about others? She was taking up the share of others.

After reading the letter, the Marquis of Xinxiang was speechless. He thought about this kid. He had never seen such a arrogant person before. Three hundred taels a month. Not to mention the girls in the mansion, the Marquis of Xinxiang would not let the other party take away three hundred taels a month, because there was not much money in the mansion and he had to keep it for himself. Others took away three hundred taels a month, and there were many expenses in the backyard. How much money would he have left? How could he do that?

That's right, when she was in the mansion before, she didn't have much expenses. Even if she wanted to spend money, she would just ask the wife of Marquis Xinxiang to buy it for her, so he never noticed her true character. Until now, when she entered the palace, the people she often dealt with changed from her aunt and the wife of Marquis Xinxiang to him, and then he knew the true character of Cui Er Niang that left him speechless.

No wonder the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang said that all her private savings had been spent by her. With such a spendthrift personality, it would be strange if the money didn't run out. Now he believed what the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang said that the money was all spent by Cui Erniang. If Cui Erniang kept asking for this and that, the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang would definitely not be able to afford it. After all, he more or less knew the amount of the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang's private savings. Most of it was spent on her son's marriage last time. It was normal for the remaining money to be spent at the speed Cui Erniang spent.

Seeing that Cui Erniang was asking for three hundred taels of silver a month, the Marquis of Xinxiang ignored her and pretended he had not seen the letter.

Although this is Aunt Han's child, he will love her a little more because he loves her. But if he is not tactful, he will not care whether she is Aunt Han's child or not and will not like her anyway.

After all, he has many children and he likes obedient and sensible ones. Why would he like such an inappropriate one?

Cui Erniang didn't know that the letter she wrote with such a huge request had angered the Marquis of Xinxiang. She only saw that it had been a long time since the letter was sent, but the Marquis of Xinxiang had not sent any money yet, but she was still unhappy and continued to send letters to the Marquis of Xinxiang.

It was not until she sent three letters and received no response that she panicked. She wondered what was wrong with the Marquis of Xinxiang. He had been very good to her before, but now that she needed money, why didn't he meet her needs? She didn't know whether the messenger had failed to deliver the letter to the Marquis of Xinxiang, or whether something had happened in the Marquis's mansion. It was very difficult for her to get information in the palace. After all, it cost money to get information. Unfortunately, she had spent all the two hundred taels that the Marquis of Xinxiang had given her before, so it was difficult for her to get information now.

There was no other way. At that time, she thought that the Marquis of Xinxiang would often give her money in the future, so she didn't feel bad about spending the two hundred taels. She soon pretended to be a big shot and spent all her money lavishly.

Now I have no money left and can hardly move. It is no use regretting my lavish spending because the money is gone.

It was precisely because she had no money that Cui Er Niang stopped sending letters to the mansion. Otherwise, if she had money, she would have continued to do so.

There was no other way. Asking someone to deliver a letter to the mansion would cost money, and no one would deliver the letter to her without money.

In fact, she could exchange the jewelry for money, but she hadn't thought of it yet. After all, she thought that those jewelry were beautiful, and she couldn't bear to take them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to exchange them for money.

Not to mention that Cui Erniang had no money in the palace, could hardly move, and had a hard life - at least it was much worse than when she was in the Marquis's Mansion - but let's talk about the subsequent developments. Just as the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang thought, Aunt Han saw that her own daughter could no longer provide her with support, so she began to change her attitude towards Cui Yuanniang, wanting to win her over as her support after the Marquis of Xinxiang passed away in the future.

Fortunately, Cui Yuanniang already knew the truth. In addition, the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang had reminded her long ago, so she was mentally prepared. She also secretly observed that Aunt Han was sincerely planning for her biological daughter. Therefore, she was not moved by Aunt Han's hypocritical enticement as she was in her original world. She was only happy on the surface, but very calm in her heart.

Aunt Han thought she had won over Cui Yuanniang, and indeed asked the Marquis of Xinxiang to find a good marriage for Cui Yuanniang.

In fact, even without Aunt Han saying anything, the Marquis of Xinxiang also wanted to find a good marriage for Cui Yuanniang and help the Marquis of Xinxiang’s mansion.

Now that we can no longer count on the "legitimate daughter" Cui Erniang, we can only count on the "illegitimate daughter" Cui Yuanniang.
