Old Madam Shen had spent the past two days dealing with the affairs of the two courtyards, and she had worn herself out. The most troublesome one was this third sister-in-law in front of her. She would always come to her with the slightest matter, so shameless!
The old lady was very annoyed with her, but when she heard her say that she had withheld funds from her courtyard, her face suddenly darkened. "Third sister-in-law, you have to know when to stop being unreasonable."
"In the past six years, the expenses of our main courtyard have been the same as the expenses of your east and west courtyards. How could we have withheld your food, clothing and other expenses?" If this were to be spread out, would she, the head of the family, still have dignity?
Seeing the old lady's expression, Third Uncle's grandmother was slightly stunned: "Don't you think my sister-in-law doesn't know?"
"Know what?"
My third uncle's grandmother then told me about the reduction in the courtyard's allowance.
"Sister-in-law, it's winter now, and all the men in the family have returned home injured. Let's not talk about increasing the allowance, but we can't reduce it either. You don't know that my master wanted to burn a pot of good silver charcoal in the yard, but he said there was not enough quota..."

"Madam, just now, Madam Liu came in person and said that the old lady wants to invite you to go to Muzhaiyuan." Dongshuang walked into the room carrying a bowl of medicine.
Yang Zhao was sitting on the couch, reading a book. When she heard Dong Shuang's words, she didn't even raise her eyes: "Where's Xia Ying? Is she back?"
"not yet."
"No hurry, wait until I finish reading this book."
Dong Shuang had no choice but to step forward, gently took the book from her hand, and handed her the bowl of warm medicine: "Madam, you have been reading for almost two hours. It is not good for your eyes. Drink the medicine first."
Yang Zhao didn't get angry and drank the medicine obediently.
Dong Shuang watched her finish her drink and immediately handed her the candied fruit. After Yang Zhao grabbed one and put it in his mouth, he finally got up from the couch and said, "Please help me dress up."
"Madam, aren't you waiting for Xia Ying to come back?"
"Forget it, they probably can't wait any longer..."
Mu Zhaiyuan.
Old Madam Shen sat in the main seat with a sullen face, and several elderly female relatives sat below her, surrounded by a group of maids and servants, and the nanny and servant who managed the inner house were also present.
This situation really feels like a trial by three judges.
"Old Madam, uncles and aunts." Yang Zhao bowed slightly after entering the house.
She was still dressed warmly, with a fox fur cloak draped over her, and her hand clutched a hot water bottle. Her face was still pale and sickly, but no one present seemed to notice. As soon as they saw her enter, their faces suddenly darkened.
It was as if she had dug up their ancestral graves!!
"Yang Zhao, I called you here today because there is something I want to ask you in person." Old Madam Shen spoke in a cold voice.
In the past, the old lady rarely used this attitude.
It seems that the return of the male member of the Shen family has given these old ladies a lot more confidence!
