The old housekeeper's eyes lit up: "Young lady, you are wise!"
"Oh right," Shen Weiwan seemed to suddenly remember something, "Didn't Madam Liu say that the treasury was empty? Then ask her to take the lead and donate all the valuables in the room and confiscate them!"
Chun Tao couldn't help but interrupt: "Miss, will Madam Liu agree?"
"It doesn't matter whether she agrees or not," Shen Weiwan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mandarin fish and put it in her mouth, "The important thing is to let everyone in the mansion know who is ruining the general's family property!"
As she was speaking, Liu came back again, with tears still on her face. She saw Shen Weiwan eating fish leisurely, and she was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't dare to attack.
"Aunt, you're back?" Shen Weiwan put down her chopsticks, "Is the bird's nest in the kitchen ready?"
Liu gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word: "Stew, stewed."
"That's good," Shen Weiwan smiled, "but I think, from today on, we should not eat bird's nest, it's too wasteful. Let's just drink some millet porridge, which is both good for the stomach and saves money."
Liu almost fainted. She couldn't live without bird's nests, and now she was being forced to eat millet porridge? This was worse than killing her!
"Wanwan," Liu suppressed her anger, "Aren't you being too harsh? After all, I am your aunt..."
"What are you talking about, Auntie?" Chen Weiwan interrupted her. "It is precisely because you are my aunt that you should take the lead in saving, right? You said that the General's Mansion is about to break even, so let's tighten our belts together!"
Liu looked at Shen Weiwan's "innocent" smile and suddenly felt that the girl in front of her was more terrifying than the King of Hell. She knew that if she continued to cry poor, she would probably be stripped of her clothes by Shen Weiwan!
"I, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do," Liu couldn't sit still any longer, "I'll leave first!" After saying that, she fled from the main hall.
Shen Weiwan looked at her back and shook her head: "Really, leaving before finishing the meal, what a waste."
The old housekeeper and Chuntao couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became relaxed, and the servants dared to speak loudly.
"Miss, you are really amazing!" Chun Tao looked at Shen Weiwan with admiration, "With just a few words, you silenced Madam Liu!"
"This is just the beginning," Shen Weiwan picked up the spoon and took a sip of soup, "What Liu owes to the General's Mansion and what she owes to me, I will get it back bit by bit!"
The old housekeeper stroked his beard and looked at Shen Weiwan with satisfaction: "With you here, the general's mansion has hope!"
Shen Weiwan smiled, but her heart was not at all relaxed. She knew that Liu would never give up and would definitely come up with more sinister tricks next. But she was not afraid, because she had the memories of her past life, the help of the old housekeeper, and a heart that protected the general's mansion!
After lunch, Shen Weiwan returned to her courtyard. Not long after she sat down, Chuntao ran in in a panic.
"Miss, this is bad!" Chun Tao gasped, "Madam Liu...Madam Liu locked herself in the room and said she was going to hang herself!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Weiwan put down the account book in her hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? Really? Let's go and take a look!"
She wanted to see what tricks Liu was up to this time! Was it a real hanging, or a fake one? If it was fake, she wouldn't mind handing Liu a stool and letting her "perform" properly!
When I arrived at Liu's courtyard, I saw that the door was closed and I could hear Liu's crying from inside.
"I won't live anymore! I'm so sorry, General!"
"This life is unbearable! I might as well die!"
There were many servants gathered around, whispering to each other.
"Hey, what happened to Madam Liu?"
"Isn't it because the young lady wants to deduct her monthly allowance?"
"Serves her right! Who makes her cry poor every day while I enjoy all the good food and fish!"
Shen Weiwan walked to the door, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Aunt, what are you doing? If you have something to say, open the door and tell me!"
The crying inside paused for a moment, then started again: "I am too embarrassed to face anyone! Please let me die!"
"Aunt," Shen Weiwan said patiently, "If you really want to die, I won't stop you. But before you die, can you hand over the key to the warehouse first? It will save you trouble later."
The servants around couldn't help laughing when they heard this. This young lady was too direct, wasn't she? He wanted to hang himself, but she wanted the key!
Liu inside didn't expect Shen Weiwan to say this, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Weiwan continued: "Aunt, if you are too lazy to open the door, I have a stool here. If you need it, I will pass it in to you? It's too tiring to hang yourself standing up. It's more comfortable to sit down."
Now, even the old butler next to him couldn't help laughing.
Liu in the room was so angry that she was shaking all over. She didn't really want to hang herself, but just wanted to threaten Shen Weiwan with this. Unexpectedly, Shen Weiwan didn't play by the rules at all, but made fun of her "hanging"!
"Chen Weiwan! You...you've gone too far!" Liu screamed in the room.
"I'm going too far?" Shen Weiwan raised her eyebrows. "Aunt, if you don't want to die, open the door quickly. Otherwise, I'll have someone pry the door open! By then, you'll be hanging naked in the room, and being seen by the servants will be really shameful!"
When Liu heard this, she was terrified. She had been in such a panic that she was only wearing her underwear. What would happen if the door was pried open?
"Don't...don't pry the door open!" Liu shouted hurriedly, "I...I'll open the door right away!"
After a while, the door creaked open. Liu was in her undershirt, her hair disheveled, and her face stained with tears, looking utterly miserable.
