Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

So Eunuch Wang waited and waited but nothing happened to Linlang, and he wondered what was going on. Wasn't anyone jealous of Sun Linlang's rapid advancement? - In fact, someone had attacked Linlang, but Linlang had dealt with her, so on the surface, Linlang was fine - On the contrary, the second branch of the Sun family kept urging her, and Eunuch Wang thought that this was not going to work, so he thought about doing it himself.

He was extremely reluctant to do it himself, fearing that Linlang would find out. He would not make much money and someone might get hurt, which would be too unprofitable.

But the second branch of the Sun family kept urging him, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to make trouble for Linlang. However, he had already made up his mind that he must be cautious and must not be discovered by Linlang.

Fortunately, at this time, news came that Linlang was not feeling well and was sick, which made Eunuch Wang very happy. He immediately told the second branch of the Sun family that he had poisoned Sun Linlang, and now Sun Linlang was sick.

When the second branch of the Sun family heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately continued to give money to Eunuch Wang, allowing him to continue poisoning.

The people in the second house didn't know that Linlang did this on purpose to show them.

It turned out that when Linlang occasionally paid attention to the second branch, she discovered their dealings with the eunuchs in the palace. She saw that they were looking for eunuchs to deal with her, but the eunuch was timid and kept watching and never dared to take action. Seeing that the second branch of the Sun family might not give the eunuch money, Linlang pretended to be sick so that the eunuch would tell the second branch of the Sun family about this and let the second branch of the Sun family continue to give them money.

The reason why Linlang pretended to be sick was to use up the money of the second branch of the Sun family. There was another reason, that is, as she was promoted again, too many people came to her to get close to her, so Linlang claimed to be sick to refuse visitors and reduce trouble.

Anyway, the next time she plans to visit the emperor is at least two months away, so her temporary illness will not affect her future visits.

That's why Linlang pretended to be sick, killing two birds with one stone.

The second branch of the Sun family did not know that Linlang's illness was fake and was done for show. They only heard Eunuch Wang say that Linlang was sick and it was him who did it. Then they confirmed the news through other eunuchs they had just made friends with, and they were very happy. They prayed at home every day that Linlang would get sick soon.

While praying that Linlang was ill, he wanted to laugh at the smug look on the eldest wife's face.

Thinking that the first wife had no ability to inquire about the news in the palace and didn't know that Linlang was ill and was about to die, she was still acting so smug.

The second wife couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about how sad the first wife would be when she heard the news of Sun Linlang's death soon. So she thought, let them be proud for a while. They won't be proud soon anyway. When the time comes, it will be their turn to be happy. The first wife can only be proud for a while, but they can't be proud forever!
The eldest wife made thousands of taels of silver thanks to Sun Linlang. It was said that they bought a house with a yard and some shops to rent out and collect rent, so that the eldest wife did not have to work, which was enough for the eldest wife to survive in Beijing. This made them feel uncomfortable. After all, if they had given all the thousands of taels to them and let them run for office, Master Sun Er would have been promoted long ago. How great would that be. But now, their credit was bankrupt, and they could not make big promises to the eldest wife, saying that they would give them money and let Master Sun Er run for office and get promoted, which would be good for them. The eldest wife would not believe it, and naturally would not give them the money. After all, they had already separated - or they drove people out - the second wife and the eldest wife were two families, so why should they give them money?

Thinking of this, Master Sun and Madam Sun felt even more regretful. They shouldn't have kicked the eldest wife away when they saw that she was useless. Who knew that she would have such good fortune? So in the future, when they see someone is useless, they can't turn hostile immediately like they did this time. At least they have to observe first to see if they really can't get up, and then it won't be too late to turn hostile.

Unfortunately, it was useless to regret. They had already broken off relations with the other party. It was almost impossible to repair the relationship. They could not get the several thousand taels of silver from the eldest wife either. They could only watch her live a good life with the money.

Actually, the eldest daughter-in-law originally wanted to buy land, but they didn't know who to buy it from, and the land around the capital had already been bought up, so they couldn't buy any land there. They could only buy land far away. This was not a good idea for the eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been able to see the land before. Because the land was far away and they couldn't see it, they would feel anxious, afraid of being cheated. So they bought shops, which they could still rent out to make money, which was almost as promising as the land.

Moreover, the shop is right in front of them and they can see it, so they can feel at ease and it is also easy to buy it - if someone in Beijing sells a house facing the street, they can find it and naturally buy it.

The reason why they bought a shop after buying the house was because Linlang was promoted repeatedly and they had more and more money. In order to prevent Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun from being jealous of their money and wanting them to use it for the second wife, they bought the shop and rented it out. It happened that their family was busy making progress and had no time to work and make money. They bought the shop and rented it out, and the rent was just enough to cover their daily expenses, so they didn't have to work.

Facts have proved that their method is quite good. Not only do they have the rent and don't have to work, but they also completely shut up Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun, making it impossible for them to ask the first wife to give the money to the second wife. After all, they had used the money to buy the shop and had no money left, so how could they give money to the second wife?

It's no wonder they are worried like this, because, probably because Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun have made it a habit to let the first wife give money to the second wife, so even though they have separated from the second wife and Old Master Sun has become a seventh-rank official with money and status, Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun still always feel that the second wife is poor and want the first wife to continue to help her.

Although at the beginning they realized that the two sons had already separated and the two families had a falling out, it would not be good for the eldest son to give money to the younger son. However, as Linlang continued to advance, the eldest house earned more and more money, and Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun seemed to have lost control and wanted to gain benefits for the second house. Several times, Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun began to lead the conversation in this direction.

Of course, every time Master Sun went over to announce the good news and heard Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun complaining about the Second House being poor, he ignored them and even revealed the fact that the Second House was not poor at all - he told Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun what they knew, that as long as a scholar passed the imperial examination, he would have a lot of money to spend, not to mention that the Second House was a Jinshi and an official, so he had even more money, and said these words to Old Master Sun and Old Lady Sun, asking them to stop complaining about the Second House being poor.

"Which county magistrate is short of money? He is not afraid of being laughed at when he tells others about it! The second branch has plenty of money, but it is just crying poor in front of you, hoping that you will ask our first branch for money. If you don't believe me, you can ask around. How can a poor county magistrate still ask the eldest branch for support? What's more, this eldest branch was driven away by him because he despised the poor and said they were vampires. Now that he sees that the eldest branch has some money, he is eyeing it again. One should not be too greedy and want to take everything from him! If you are too greedy, this matter will spread out and the whole capital will be embarrassed!" (End of this chapter)
