Chapter 9: Liu Shi is sidelined Lian Xuan

also exaggerated and said, "Fifteen thousand taels, I see that she is in such a state, I don't think she can come up with that much money, I guess she will die in prison within three days. Such a scoundrel will die, and the money owed to us will be wasted."

Liu Shi heard that Sun Caidie was tortured and her life was in danger, and now she is still in prison, she was so anxious that she spat out blood.

Zhao Wanyue was shocked and scolded Lian Xuan, "What are you talking about? Look how scared you made the old lady. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Even if she is dead, she still has family members. The debt will be recovered long ago. Don't worry, mother. I have already sent people to find out where she lives. Even if she is dead, your daughter-in-law will get the money back for you."

Liu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she didn't dare to show it. Fortunately, Zhao Wanyue was stupid and thought she was worried about the money and was vomiting blood.

She had no choice but to play along. She took Zhao Wanyue's hand and said, "I'm glad you can come back. You're tired today. Take Xiaoxiao back to rest."

Zhao Wanyue forced a smile and said worriedly, "Mother, you've vomited blood. Let your daughter-in-law find a doctor to see you."

Liu was anxious to save her daughter and couldn't wait for Zhao Wanyue to leave. She said patiently, "I was just too angry. Just take a rest. It's okay. Go away!"

Zhao Wanyue was far from relieved and said anxiously, "Are you really okay, mother? Your daughter-in-law is so nervous. Otherwise, I'll stay here with you tonight?"

"Go, go!" Liu's heart was in her throat. Zhao Wanyue was still nagging. It was not a good thing for her daughter-in-law to be too well-trained.

Liu almost couldn't hold back her anger, and she bit her back teeth and said softly, "I'm really fine, Xiaoxiao is still young, you have to take good care of her."

Seeing Liu's insistence, Zhao Wanyue stood up worriedly and said, "Then my daughter-in-law is back, if there is anything, you must ask the maid to come to me."

Liu wanted to die, but she had to pretend to be kind and nodded to Zhao Wanyue with a smile.

Zhao Wanyue took a few steps and stopped again.

Liu quickly put on a smile and said helplessly, "What happened?"

Zhao Wanyue slapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Mother, look at my memory, I almost forgot to talk about the main thing. That person used your name to cheat people. I was afraid that other shopkeepers would also be fooled, so I exchanged all the shop signs in my house with mine. If you need them in the future, just ask me to get them. I'm going back."

After saying that, she suddenly quickened her pace and quickly left Liu's yard.

Liu wanted to cry but had no tears. If she exchanged the signs, where would she find 15,000 taels of silver to redeem someone.

In prison, Sun Caidie was lying on the ground full of stink bugs, groaning. Mosquitoes and fleas greedily drank her blood. Rats ran all over her body wantonly. Sun Caidie was so scared that she could not even scream.

Her only hope now was that her mother Liu would use money to redeem her and take her away from this hell on earth.

Liu wanted to save her daughter, but the relationship between Sun Caidie and herself could not be known to others. Liu had no way to use her relationship as the wife of the Duke to save her. Now she could only make money honestly.

Thinking of Sun Caidie, she felt so distressed. Her biological father had always disliked her as a daughter, and was afraid that the truth would be exposed and ruin his future, so he ignored the two children and even avoided Liu.

The more nice he said at the beginning, the more disappointed Liu was now. She was forced to no choice, and she secretly sent him a letter yesterday, begging him to raise some money to redeem her daughter, otherwise her daughter would really die in prison. Unexpectedly,

the man completely ignored the relationship between flesh and blood, and advised her that it was all a bad fate. Since it was God's will, it would be better to let nature take its course and let her escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible and find a good family in the next life.

Liu tore the man's letter to pieces. She sacrificed her dignity to ask for his promotion, but in return she only said: "Madam, as a third-rank imperial official, you should respect yourself."

He had a son to inherit his family lineage, so he regarded the two children he had secretly conceived with him as thorns in his eyes and flesh.

Liu swallowed the bitterness in her heart. Even without help, she could still push her son to the position of marquis.

Zhao Wanyue not only changed the cards, but also took back the shops that Liu had given to Sun Caidie, and invited the managers of the farms and shops to the Duke's Mansion and gave them a good beating.

"You are all old people in the mansion. I won't say much. I just want to say one thing. We don't keep idle people in the mansion. Those who are capable and want to work should work hard. I can't let you down. Those who don't want to work can leave now. I will give you enough respect. If you still want to fish in troubled waters, the people I sent away yesterday are your example."

The stewards looked at each other, and each of them was hesitant to speak. But the steward of Nanzhu Pavilion spoke first: "Madam, there is something I don't understand. Please give me some advice. If you and the old lady have different opinions in the future, who should we listen to?"

This is something that all stewards are concerned about. Isn't it the old lady's intention to fire those people?

Zhao Wanyue raised her eyes, with no emotion on her face: "The old lady is old and kind-hearted. Isn't this a loophole for others to take advantage of? In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the old lady asked me to change all the cards. In the future, we will only recognize the cards and not the people. Even if the old lady goes in person, she must have my cards. Do you understand?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhao Wanyue say this, especially those who came from the Zhao family as a dowry. They all knew that Zhao Wanyue, the housekeeper, had thundering methods, but was also really good to the employees.

I don't know why their young lady became a different person after marrying into the Sun family, making them respect Liu everywhere. Not only was the shop messed up, but their treatment also plummeted. Now that the young lady is in charge again, these hard days are over.

Sure enough, after Zhao Wanyue finished scolding everyone, she did not forget to give everyone some hope: "This year, the shop suffered a serious loss, but fortunately, there are still a few months before the New Year. Everyone should work hard and wait until the end of the year to have a prosperous year."

Zhao Wanyue's rewards and punishments are clearly well-known. Looking at what happened today, the wife of the prince is determined to rectify the situation, and who dares not to pay attention.

After scolding the outside, Zhao Wanyue also rectified the family. Such a large Duke's Mansion, the monthly salary alone is more than a thousand taels every month. After a detailed investigation, it was found that more than a dozen people did not work in the mansion all year round, but still received money every month. Zhao Wanyue stopped their monthly salary neatly, sold those who were sold, and drove away those who were driven away.

This is the second time Zhao Wanyue has fired someone after giving birth. The servants in the mansion are all shrewd people. They all know that the wind has changed. The mansion is now ruled by the young lady. Moreover, the old lady and the lady seem to be at odds. Who would still try to please the old lady? The Liu family has been completely sidelined.
