The two women from the clan spoke with righteous indignation, as if they intended to take the matter to Old Madam Pei if the Wen family did not pay them.

The two of them were originally notorious scoundrels and down-on-their-luck people in the clan, always looking for food and money to beg for; otherwise, they wouldn't have been bribed by the head matron.

Moreover, they are not afraid of the Wen family.

They were barefoot, so they weren't afraid of those wearing shoes.

"You shameless bastards!" Wen was so angry that her stomach hurt.

"Ha, what's the use of shame? Can it feed you?"

They're so poor that everyone hates them, what do they care about saving face?

"Stop talking nonsense and give us the money! Otherwise, if this gets out in front of the old lady, none of us will be in good shape."

Wen gritted her teeth in hatred, but in the end she still gave him the silver.

The two men weighed the twenty-tael silver ingots in their hands and said with disdain, "How can a noble lady be so stingy?"

"..."

Wen had no choice but to add another ten taels.

"Don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, madam. Although we are not good people, we still have morals and a sense of shame. We will not spread rumors after receiving the money."

The two wives were delighted. Before leaving, they said that if there were any more good things like this in the future, they should ask Wen to think of them, as they were willing to share Wen's burdens.

Only dogs would bark at you!

Wen was so angry he nearly fell over.

"The matter was not accomplished, and thirty taels of silver were wasted."

Madam Wen was so angry that she couldn't sleep soundly, tossing and turning until dawn. Early the next morning, she deducted three months' wages from the head maid's salary.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuwan laughed until her whole body trembled.

"Miss, why is Madam so stingy!" Qingxing was also shocked by Madam Wen's actions.
