Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 512: It Could Turn Out to Be Troublesome

Soon, Yun Xi was going to have a big gift for Liang Xinyi and Liang Xiuqin.

The housekeeper had told her that Yun Yuanfeng was tied up with entertaining for business this evening. She knew better than any of them what kind of business entertainment he was involved with at the moment.

Yun Xi turned and glanced at the clock on the wall. At this very minute, her dad was probably in the hotel with Chen Lixue, reminiscing about their past.

When they got to be in their 40s, women and men were at that time of life when their relationships started to sour.

Yun Yuanfeng and Liang Xiuqin had recently been separated for more than a month, and Yun Xi didn’t believe that her father was going to be able to remain indifferent under Chen Lixue’s attempt at seduction.

It was only a few days since Liang Xiuqin had returned to the house, and she couldn’t sit still. Every time she saw Yun Xi, she became irritated and upset. She couldn’t resist insulting her every chance she got, as if only in this way was she going to be able to get her dignity back.

Even though all the other members of the household had warned her to keep quiet and watch herself, they didn’t say she couldn’t give Yun Xi a hard time verbally.

Taking advantage of this loophole, Liang Xiuqin said bitterly and meanly, “Since you come home so late every day, people who don’t know you would think you were up to no good.” Liang Xiuqin glanced at Yun Xi and snorted softly. “I can’t control you anymore. It’s your own business what you get up to. However, if your reputation gets ruined, you’ll drag down Ziling. She doesn’t want a pathetic sister like you, and I don’t want a shameless daughter like you either.”

When Yun Xi’s second aunt heard what Liang Xiuqin had just said, her face turned sour.

“Yun Xi, have you eaten dinner yet? There’s still some food in the kitchen. Would you like me to warm it up for you?”

“No, thanks. I ate outside.” Yun Xi replied, without changing her expression.

Yao Ying nodded. Then, suddenly thinking of something, she glanced at Liang Xiuqin and then said to Yun Xi, “By the way, the prescription for the health tea you gave me last time has already been approved. Our factory is producing and selling it now. The company is going to give you the copyright fee, which has been settled by the accounting department. It is about 50,000 yuan, you see...”

“It’s 50,000 yuan? That much?” Before Yun Xi could speak, Liang Xiuqin interrupted them.

When Yun Xi had written the prescription for Yao Ying, Liang Xiuqin had been right there. She had been very disdainful and made the ridiculous comment that if someone died because of her prescription and she got sued, she would have to go to jail on her own because the Yun family wouldn’t take the blame.

And now, unexpectedly, the prescription for the health tea had been approved, and Yun Xi had made a lot of money.

Liang Xiuqin thought about how, now that she had been robbed of the power of the purse in the Yun family, her income had been reduced by a lot. She was now forced to use only her own money for her living expenses.

After so many years of being pampered and lording her status as the vice director’s wife over many others, naturally she couldn’t humble herself and go out to work. That could entail hard work, and she would have to kowtow to others.

But without any money in her pocket, she lacked confidence. Also, she had to nurture Yun Ziling well. In order to get her into college, she would have to send her to cram school, which was a big expense.

Yun Xi’s 50,000 yuan was the equivalent of several months of her former club’s income. How could she not be tempted by such a large sum of money?

At a loss for words, Yun Xi rolled her eyes. Her mother’s unconcealed greedy and covetous expression really was very unpleasant.

Liang Xiuqin was still a little incredulous. “She just wrote you a list, yet it’s worth 50,000 yuan?”

A prescription was worth 50,000 yuan. That seemed much more profitable than doing anything else.

As long as she wrote a few more copies and sold them, wouldn’t money be rolling in?

Yao Ying knew what Liang Xiuqin was considering doing when she heard this comment. Yao Ying sneered and stood up as she looked at Liang Xiuqin as if she was an idiot.

“Don’t I determine how much everything is worth around here? I’ll give Yun Xi as much as I want to give her. Eldest brother said that you shouldn’t be involved in Yun Xi’s affairs in the future, so how much money she has doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, sister-in-law, does it?”

Yao Ying’s ridicule provoked Liang Xiuqin.

Liang Xiuqin stood up and retorted, “How can it not have anything to do with me? Yun Xi is my daughter, and she’s not yet 18 years old. What can she possibly do with such a large sum of money? It wouldn’t be safe for her to have it, and in fact it could turn out to be troublesome.”
