Jiang Yuancheng woke up early in the morning and came to see his sister.
Then I went out to play with my friends.
Jiang Yuanxi felt envious when she saw this. She wanted to travel all over Shengjing when she could run.
As the New Year is approaching, everyone in the house is busy.
Chen took out one thousand taels and sent people to the street to buy a lot of good things.
When I came back, the store owner personally delivered it to my door.
There was quite a stir in the Duke's Mansion.
The maids in the Duke's Mansion looked on with envy.
I should have gone to work in the eldest house earlier. Look now, they haven’t even received last month’s salary.
"Li Zi, go and get the spring brocade that the second lady bought that day." Nanny Zhao called out.
Li Zi pouted and said, "Madam Zhao, our salary for last month has not been paid yet, and my parents are waiting for it at home."
Then another maid and a servant came over to ask.
Nanny Zhao had no choice but to tell Wu Cuirou about this.
She used last month's money to buy jewelry, so there is no spare money left in the mansion now.
Wu Cuirou was so annoyed that she had someone beat up the troublemaker girl Li Zi.
Who knew that Li Zi's father and mother was Nanny Wang who served the old lady.
Li Zi went back to complain, and Nanny Wang exaggerated the matter.
Wu Cuirou was soon invited to Cangwu Courtyard, and Chen came with her.
The old lady looked at the account book herself and was furious after reading it.
Once again, there was not a penny left in the account.
Not only that, he also owed the shop outside two thousand taels.
The old lady glared at Wu Cuirou.
Wu Cuirou broke out in a cold sweat.
Before she could catch her breath, Aunt Hua, her daughter, and other concubines from the second room knelt directly in front of the old lady.
"Please, old lady, save us. We haven't seen Yueyin for several months. We can't survive any longer."
Aunt Hua cried and the others followed suit.
"Madam has deducted our monthly salary in order to buy spring brocade."
"It's almost Chinese New Year, but the children can't even afford clothes."
"Please ask the old lady to make the decision!"
A group of people knelt on the ground, and the old lady's face was as black as charcoal.
Spring brocade is expensive and worth a fortune, but the second wife actually dared to embezzle public funds to buy it!
Jiang Yuanxi watched with wide eyes.
[Second uncle really knows how to enjoy himself, with so many beauties. ]
Yan is thin and Huan is plump, almost catching up with the emperor.
Looking at Chen again, her expression was indifferent, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Yuanxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[My mother has great self-control.] She is not tempted by beautiful women.
Chen couldn't help but feel happy when she heard her daughter praising her.
When I looked down, I saw my daughter drooling at the people from the second room.
[This one is good, the eyes are big. ]
[That one is not bad either.] Jiang Yuanxi stared at the other's chest, [It's big enough.]
[The one at the end has a big butt, and will have a bad baby. ]
This was the first time Chen felt so helpless.
No, where did you learn this from?
She is so young, but she acts like a female hooligan.
Who on earth taught her good daughter bad things?
The aunts listed several crimes against Wu Cuirou.
Wu Cuirou, kneeling on the ground, gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear these people to pieces and eat them.
"Mother," Mrs. Wu knelt on the ground, "my daughter-in-law only bought a piece of spring brocade, and the money in the account was not only spent by my daughter-in-law."
Wu Cuirou spent money lavishly. Without Chen's financial support, she had less money and set her sights on the money in her account.
But Jiang Qisheng from the second house also used a lot.
Now that things have gotten out of hand, the old lady is having a headache.
If Wu were to continue to be the housekeeper, the family would probably be in unrest.
The old lady looked at Chen.
As soon as Chen saw the look, he knew what the other person was thinking.
Chen said in embarrassment: "Mother, my sister-in-law is the housekeeper, I can't interfere."
Chen fully demonstrated her virtue and generosity.
Even the old lady looked at her strangely.
But it must be said that under the stewardship of the Chen family, the village has been peaceful and he has never made any mistakes over the years.
Moreover, her dowry was generous, and as long as she made up for the shortfall, the second wife could continue to be in charge of the family.
The old lady winked at Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang immediately tried to persuade her: "Madam, you are wrong. In a big family, we all prosper together and suffer together. How can we stay out of it? Besides, with Madam's ability, it should be no problem for her to solve this problem."
Chen lowered her eyes. What the other party said made sense.
The general is also a member of the Jiang family. If the news of damage to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion gets out, the general will not look good.
How about donating five thousand taels?
As soon as Chen's idea came out, he was interrupted by Jiang Yuanxi.
[Humph, you're still eyeing my mother's dowry. ]
Jiang Yuanxi stared at Chen.
[Mom, don't listen to her. She is trying to pua you. Don't give her a penny. If you do, I will go to the kitchen tomorrow and find a noodle to hang myself.]
Noodle?
Hang yourself?!
Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: What a strange way to die?
However, after her daughter reminded her, Chen reacted instantly.
She said softly, "Mammy, what you said makes sense, but every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor."
In short, whoever spends should subsidize it.
The old lady's eyes changed slightly, and the handkerchief in her hand was deformed by her pinching. When did the eldest wife become so smart?
Wu Cuirou looked at the old lady as if asking for help.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law really has no money."
She had spent all the money, so she had no spare money to pay off her debts.
The old lady wanted to say something, but she saw Chen and his servant turned their heads and looked at the scenery outside the door.
The eldest wife is really becoming more and more outrageous.
"Well, the old ones will pay off the debts of the children and grandchildren. Nanny Wang, take out five thousand taels, and put the rest in the treasury."
