Upon hearing this, Yin hurriedly bowed to Madam Shen and the other old ladies and said, "Mother-in-law, I heard from the servants that Ah Zhao had been causing unrest in the courtyards since early morning, and even angered the old ladies in each courtyard and came to you to complain. I thought I'd come over to see if there was anything I could help with."
Help? Just her? Just don’t make trouble!!
Old Madam Shen really looked down on her eldest daughter-in-law and wanted to send her away, but Yin was very eager to show off. Before the old lady could say anything, she hurriedly said, "When my daughter-in-law came here, I sent someone to notify Ah Zhao and asked her to come here immediately."
"Why did you ask her to come here?" The old lady frowned.
She always felt that it would be better not to let Yang Zhao come today, otherwise things would be out of control.
However, Yin said in a very flattering way: "She was the one who caused this trouble in the first place, so naturally she should come and deal with it herself. How can I let you, mother-in-law, bear this trouble for her?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I will definitely have a good talk with her later and make her more sensible."
Yin actually disliked Yang Zhao.
Although Yang Zhao was good in every way, respected her, and was impeccable in every aspect, it was precisely because she was too good and capable that she, as the mother-in-law, was made to look useless and was always outshined.
Now that she has the chance, she will definitely show off her power as a mother-in-law.
This is not.
As soon as Yang Zhao stepped into the hall, Yin's voice rang out: "A Zhao, why are you so late?"
"Didn't I ask my servant to notify you and ask you to come quickly?"
"It's really inappropriate to let so many elders of the clan wait for a junior like you. Why don't you come over and meet the old ladies and apologize to them."
Yin had a look of authority like a mother-in-law.
Yang Zhao glanced at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, but he still stepped forward respectfully, bowed to the elders, and then said in a gentle voice: "A Zhao is late, I hope you elders will forgive me."
Yin frowned, feeling that her apology was insincere. "You consider this an apology? Ah Zhao, you've been causing trouble for the entire courtyard since morning, angering all the old ladies there. Now, with just a simple "I'm sorry," you think you can appease them all?"
"What does this mean, mother-in-law?" Yang Zhao asked in confusion.
Yin thought she was asking for her opinion and was immediately pleased. As expected, her daughter-in-law needed to be disciplined. Yin said with a smile, "Kneel down! Sincerely apologize to the elders and punish those servants and maids who caused trouble this morning. Then the elders will naturally calm down."
Kneel down?
Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Old Madam Shen couldn't bear to listen any longer, fearing that this idiot would make another fool of himself: "Old man, don't make trouble here, go back quickly and take good care of the master!"
Yin's face froze and she felt aggrieved. How had she caused such trouble?
"Mother-in-law, Yang Zhao did something wrong today. I just want her to kneel down and apologize, and then this matter can be resolved. You can't always be partial to her!"
This brainless and tactless woman, who has no idea of the situation, dares to act like a mother-in-law to Yang Zhao in public. Isn't this making her, the master's courtyard, a laughing stock for the people in other courtyards?
"Shut up and go back quickly. You don't need to get involved in this!"
Yin bit her lip, tears instantly filling her eyes: "Mother-in-law, I just want to help, you..."
"Mother-in-law!"
Yang Zhao interrupted Yin and said with a helpless look on his face, "What mother-in-law just said, could it be because of that incident this morning when Madam Lu and the others went to the various courtyards to ask for money they borrowed?"
"What loan?"
Yin Shi really didn't know the specific reason. She had been serving in the eldest master's courtyard these days, and the old lady deliberately concealed it, so she still didn't know about the "borrowing" of money and seeking an official position.
Yang Zhao turned around and told Madam Lu, "Madam Lu, show the account book to my mother-in-law."
"A Zhao!" Old Madam Shen frowned in disapproval.
"Old Madam, you know your mother-in-law's temper. If you don't let her know now, she will definitely cry in front of my father-in-law when she goes back. My father-in-law still needs to be taken care of and shouldn't worry about the affairs of the inner house." Yang Zhao said in a gentle voice.
At this time, Nanny Lu had already handed the account book to Yin.
Yin opened it suspiciously.
Upon seeing this, Yin's eyes widened.
"Is this the money that the other courtyards borrowed from our main courtyard's account office? Why is there so much?" And those items...
She hasn’t even used so many good things in her own courtyard! !
Although Yin was useless, she was not so stupid that she couldn't even understand the accounts. Thinking about so much money and other items being taken away, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"A lot? Can ours be more than Sister Lan's? She takes more than 10,000 taels of silver from our Shen family every year to subsidize her husband's family! And this does not even include the items and maids and servants that were taken away." The third uncle's grandmother said sarcastically.
"More than ten thousand taels?"
Yin's voice was sharp, and she turned to look at Shen Sulan, whose face seemed to have turned purple, and couldn't help asking: "Aunt, do you really take more than 10,000 taels from the Shen family every year?"
Shen Sulan's chest and abdomen rose and fell, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't utter a word...
Yang Zhao glanced at her, then secretly gave a look to Madam Lu, who immediately handed Yin an account book.
Yin's eyes widened as she saw this. "Oh my God, Auntie, you...how can you be so shameless? Not only did I ask you to support your parents, but why are you using so much from your parents to support your husband's family? Aren't you just being disloyal...?"
Old Madam Shen was almost mad at her daughter-in-law.
Can you say this at this time?
Third Uncle's grandmother smiled and agreed: "That's right, niece-in-law, you are more sensible. Tell me, should we get this money back?"
"It must be taken back."
"Old lady, shut up!" Old Madam Shen shouted angrily, her face turned black with anger, what a fool.
Yin shrank her neck and whispered a reminder: "Mother-in-law, it's okay if you are partial to Ah Zhao, but this lady is a daughter-in-law who married out, an outsider..."
"you……"
Old Madam Shen was so angry that her chest hurt.
But at this time...
Shen Sulan, who had been silent all this time, finally fell straight down, and fell towards Yin Shi, who was caught off guard; "Ah..."
"Lan'er!"
Old Madam Shen exclaimed, and the others were also shocked.
But there is more suspicion.
"What a coincidence!"
“That’s right!”
"Isn't that fake?"
But when they helped the person up from the ground, they found that Shen Sulan's face was terribly purple, her body was cold and stiff, her eyes were still rolled back, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be crooked...
"Oh my god, this is a cold..."
