Chapter 19, Marquis's Disloyalty

Qing Da had been a servant in the Marquis's Mansion for three generations. He was loyal and grateful, but in the end he ended up like this.

He really sold his life wrongly!

According to the original plot in the book, after his mother was angered to death by the male protagonist, the Marquis's Mansion did not bury her properly.

Qing Da walked back from the border step by step for two years, sleeping in the open air, starving to the point of skin and bones, and walking to the point of disability, just to repair his mother's tomb and burn incense for her.

After burning incense, Qing Da's body collapsed from running around and died on his mother's grave.

Liu Wan's heart tightened.

Qing Da's father and daughter's family have worked in the Marquis's Mansion for three generations. How could they fall to this?

If the Marquis's Mansion manages servants like this, it will be ruined sooner or later.

She gave Wanwan her little finger to play with, and said to Qingda, "Go and inform all the masters of the Marquis' Mansion that the prince and the Marquis' wife are coming back."

Qingda scratched his head, not understanding why.

"Hurry up!" Panchun urged.

Qingda ran away like a stream of smoke. Whatever the lady did had her own reasons.

Soon.

There were many more people in the front hall of the Marquis' Mansion.

Even the second uncle Xie Jinqian, the third uncle Xie Jinzhao, and the fourth uncle Xie Jinqiu, who had not appeared at the full moon banquet, were here. Also waiting here was Xu Rourou holding her child. Beside her was Li's cousin Li Duoduo.

Together with the Marquis's aunt and his concubines' children, there were more than a dozen masters in the Marquis' Mansion.

Now, they were all gathered together, which was rare.

It can be seen that the housekeeper of the Li family had means, and they dared not not come.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Yesterday you and the prince went to pick up our mother, but they haven't returned home yet?"

The one who asked was the second uncle Xie Jinqian, a gentle man with outstanding looks, and the tallest among the brothers.

When Liu Wan married five years ago, he was not that tall.

"Yeah, where are my aunt and cousin? Cousin, what happened yesterday? Why are you the only one who returned home?"

Li Duoduo asked with a frown, and then took another look at the girl in Liu Wan's arms, and silently moved away from the one in Xu Rourou's arms.

[Oh, it's so noisy, who are they? It turns out to be the second uncle and the little cousin. ]

Xiao Wanwan looked at them with wet eyes and sucked her thumb.

[Are you the one who talked to my mother like this? Be careful or I'll beat you up! 】

Xiao Wanwan pointed her wet finger at Li Duoduo.

Liu Wan quickly pressed down her hand and said to everyone, "Actually, there is another reason why I called you all here."

Everyone looked at her.

Liu Wan then told them what Qing Da said yesterday.

Qing Da came in again and repeated it vividly, which made everyone stunned.

What does it mean?

Three black people want to pretend to be the master of their Marquis' Mansion?

It's really lawless. What kind of idiots are people in the Marquis' Mansion? m.ζíＮgＹúΤxＴ.иεΤ

Third uncle Xie Jinzhao sneered and said nonchalantly, "A few idiots dare to pretend to be the master of the Marquis' Mansion. Have you sent them to the authorities?"

"Yes!" Qing Da replied.

"In my opinion, sending them to the authorities is too easy for them. We should beat them up first to let them know that our mansion is not something that anyone can offend!" Fourth

uncle Xie Jinqiu said with a serious face, and then covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and was supported by the servants.

"Don't hide it, Fourth Master, I took the initiative to ask someone to teach them a lesson. I guess they won't dare to come again in the future." Qing laughed and replied.

Liu Wan nodded and said, "This matter concerns the reputation of the mansion. If a homeless person comes to pretend today and a beggar comes to pretend tomorrow, the news will spread. I'm afraid that the people in the whole city will think that our mansion is stupid. How can we have any face then?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

"So how does sister-in-law want to deal with it?" Xie Jinqian asked.

"A person who can fall to such a low point and cheat must be a pitiful person with nowhere to go. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, I want to set up a porridge stall outside the city in the name of the Marquis's Mansion, which can not only keep a good reputation for the Marquis's Mansion, but also attract the attention of His Majesty in the future!"

Liu Wan said.

Everyone agreed.

Liu Wan added, "But our family has reduced their food and clothing, and the economy is not as good as before. If we do this, we need to spend a lot of money... If we spend so much money from the account office, we have to take some from your monthly allowance. I think it's better for everyone to donate voluntarily. As the mistress, I will donate 100 taels first!"

Everyone hesitated again and was silent for a long time.

Xu Rourou came out with the child in her arms, lowered her head and said pitifully, "Madam, my monthly report hasn't been sent out this month, so I won't donate."

With her taking the lead, the others dared to speak.

Li Duoduo sneered, "Cousin, if you want to be a good person, why bother dragging everyone into trouble? Everyone donates money, but the good reputation belongs to you? Isn't this moral kidnapping?"

Liu Wan ignored them and looked at the uncles, "What about you? What do you think?"

Xie Jinzhao and Xie Jinqiu were silent, shaking their legs.

One of them covered his mouth with a handkerchief and stepped back with a pale face.

"It's in the name of the Marquis' Mansion. If this approach can attract the attention of His Majesty, it will be good for the Marquis' Mansion. However, there is no family that provides porridge outside the city..."

"Sister-in-law, our monthly allowance is not much. Even if you donated 100 taels at once, we can't afford that much money!"

Xie Jinzhao folded his arms and chewed a dried plum.

"Sister-in-law, my monthly medicine money is not enough to cover my expenses..." Xie Jinqiu said weakly.

[Oh, fortunately I know the plot. The people in the Marquis' Mansion are scattered. Don't be angry, mother. ]

[In a few days, there will be a flood in the neighborhood. His Majesty will send officials to provide disaster relief. If mother sets up the first porridge stall, she will definitely be praised and rewarded. 】

【The people in the Marquis' Mansion are not lucky enough to enjoy this overwhelming wealth! 】

Liu Wan heard this and

sighed heavily.

The situation in the Marquis' Mansion was getting worse and worse. As the mistress, she did her best to save it.

But she didn't expect that there was not a single sensible person in the whole mansion.

[Mother, mother, respect other people's choices. Don't sigh when you laugh at other people's fate. They don't deserve it!]

Xiao Wanwan grabbed her mother's clothes tightly and tried to stick her little face to Liu Wan's face.

Liu Wan understood and said, "In this case, the Marquis' Mansion will not do this."

"But everyone has seen Qingda's wit and loyalty. I should reward him a little."

Xie Jinzhao said, "Of course, we also think he did nothing wrong!"

Everyone nodded.

Liu Wan said, "Then I will transfer Qing Da to the Second Hospital, to take over the position of the steward of the Second Hospital, and reward him with some silver melon seeds."

The steward of the Second Hospital is a higher position than Qing Da's current steward position. Although the money is about the same, he can get a lot of good things in front of the master.

No one objected.

At this time, the servants outside also led the government officials in.

Behind them, there were three people as black as coal, with extremely uniform black and shiny skin.

One of them had a dirty white bandage on his hand!
