Chapter 550 You're in Charge
“Of course,” Lin Chang’er changed the subject, “Since we spent money to buy these properties, the profits from the shops and estates should naturally go to you, not to your household.”
Wu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "After all, it cost money to go out."
Regardless of who ultimately benefits, the money invested is real.
How could she be taken advantage of?
Of course, Wu Qingfeng also strongly agreed with her approach. If it were really just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other and everything remained the same afterward, why bother with all this trouble?
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Of course." Now that it's registered under his name and his mother is no longer in that man-eating house, the profits should naturally be sent to him. He's not so generous as to raise his enemy's child.
Lin Chang'er continued, "As for your father, he should be in his prime right now, and he has a salary, so he should be able to support his own little family, right? If he can't, why would he take a concubine or have illegitimate children?"
Lin Chang'er thought that she still had a sense of the big picture when it came to important matters, but when it came to trivial matters in the inner quarters, especially when facing a scumbag who favored his concubine over his wife, she didn't want to talk about principles.
Otherwise, Wu Qingfeng was pursuing a legitimate official career and needed the support of his reputation. In addition, his father had also helped with Yan Qing's lawsuit, so he had to repay the favor. He would definitely have to go all out in this matter.
However, for now, they are still in the development stage, with many things to do, and they don't want to attract too much attention, especially from the capital.
After all, developing gunpowder, a weapon of mass destruction, and warships were crimes punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family in this era.
Although she is not from this era, since she has entered this era, she still has to abide by the rules of this era before she has absolute strength.
At least don't go clubbing on the sensitive spots.
Wu Qingfeng neither confirmed nor denied it, but his father had other plans after his grandmother wrote that pledge years ago.
After all these years of hard work, even if he doesn't achieve great success, he can still support himself more than enough.
"You decide," he said.
What Wu Qingfeng didn't know was that although his father held a high-ranking official position, he really had no talent for business.
His most beloved concubine happened to be someone who only knew how to spend money and not how to earn it.
In terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities, they were among the best in the entire capital's nobility.
Although Madam Wu disliked them, she never mistreated them in terms of their living expenses.
So over the years, everyone has kept to themselves, and they have lived a relatively peaceful life.
Things are different now. Madam Wu went south to visit her family, and she left in a hurry.
It could be said that he simply spread his hands, took a step, boarded the carriage, headed straight for the dock, and sailed south with the current, leaving all the household affairs behind.
However, she had trained the servants in charge well, and for the first few days, they each performed their duties and there were no problems in the household.
But as time went on and the mistress was away, some people inevitably began to have ulterior motives.
Jiang Yiniang couldn't contain herself and secretly wanted to seize power over Wu Lexing's favorite concubine.
However, this person always wants both: face and benefits.
If a concubine manages the household, outsiders will laugh at her.
However, if the household affairs are in chaos and cannot function properly, and the masters cannot even be guaranteed food and clothing, then it is only natural for her, as a concubine, to step in and stabilize the situation.
Aunt Jiang was calculating her options, and that's exactly what she did.
Who would have thought that she would cause trouble for the kitchen and sewing room, and several of the head servants in the mansion would actually quit and not dare to do their jobs anymore.
With these things, the household affairs were truly impossible to manage. When Wu Lexing returned home from court, he didn't even get a sip of hot water before several servants knelt before him to resign...
