Ni Yueshan looked at him in surprise: "Why are you back again?"
Without Shao Lecheng today, it would have been difficult for her to escape.
Shao Lecheng looked at Ni Yueshan in the mirror: "Shouldn't you care about me? Are you hurt?"
"The Second Prince himself said that the government has your portrait, but has never been able to capture you. With your ability to escape, I'm afraid Ni Hongbo doesn't have the ability to hurt you."
Shao Lecheng said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "What do you mean by the ability to escape? I can walk through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on me!"
Ni Yueshan re-examined Shao Lecheng through the bronze mirror. "Actually, I'm confused as to why you became a flower thief. If you were stealing jewels, that would be understandable. After all, everyone needs money. But you prefer to steal jewels from the rich and never from the poor. Are you robbing the rich to give to the poor?"
Ni Yueshan turned around and looked at Shao Lecheng seriously. Shao Lecheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Ni Yueshan's eyes. He snorted coldly: "No, it doesn't exist!"
"What about Caihua? Did you really harm someone else's innocence? And still leave your famous name behind, Master Shao?"
Shao Lecheng sat at the table, tossing the teacup around and playing: "Don't bother me, you're not my wife!"
Ni Yueshan clearly wanted to talk to him nicely, but he just looked so unserious.
"I took the blow for you. You saved me, and I've already repaid you one favor. Please leave first, benefactor. My maid will be back soon."
Shao Lecheng raised the corners of his lips and stood up. "I saved you today, so you still owe me two favors. And what if your maid saw it?"
He had just finished his teasing words when he heard footsteps outside and Ren Mei's voice: "Miss, the kitchen must have been lazy today. The food is cold and they didn't even bother to heat it up!"
Then Ren Mei came out, and Shao Lecheng was already like a frightened bird, and it was unknown how fast he ran away.
He just said, so what if he saw it? He is just good at talking, but it was a slap in the face, really a slap in the face.
Ni Yueshan sat down on the seat. Ren Mei looked at Ni Yueshan suspiciously: "Why are you laughing, young lady?"
"I saw you were cute, so I smiled."
Ren Mei: “…”

The next day.
Ni Yueshan began to take over household affairs.
The housekeeper brought the account books to Ni Yueshan and said, "These are the account books. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
Ni Yueshan took a quick look and saw more than a dozen thick stacks. It would take a long time to read them!
"Thank you, Uncle De."
The housekeeper stayed nearby and reminded her, "Salaries will be paid soon, so we're a bit busy. Miss, you've just taken over, so if you don't understand something, be sure to ask!"
Accounting is a very important matter and you must be careful.
Ni Yueshan understood: "Regarding what happened yesterday, did Uncle De tell everyone that there would be a fine of two months' wages?"
"Miss, don't worry, it was passed down early this morning!"
The housekeeper was very efficient, so Ni Yueshan felt relieved and checked the account book carefully.
Since it is ancient Chinese, the characters are written vertically from right to left, which looks very unfamiliar.
Ni Yueshan was still lost in thought when Ren Mei came over with a lunch box: "Miss, I made some soup for you."
"Ren Mei is so thoughtful."
Ren Mei lowered her head shyly. She said hesitantly, "When I came here, I saw a maid trying to commit suicide!"
"What's going on?"
Now that all the affairs in the mansion are under her control, naturally she also needs to take care of the maid's suicide.
"I don't know. He was crying and wanted to jump into the well, but we stopped him in time and didn't make a big mistake."
Ni Yueshan frowned slightly and put the account book down: "Let's go take a look?"
"The person has been stopped. Miss, why don't you drink your soup first and then go see it?"
Ni Yueshan had already walked a long way and had no intention of stopping.
Ren Mei had no choice but to follow.
Next to a well, a maid was wiping her tears, and several people were surrounding her, trying to persuade her.
When Ni Yueshan arrived, everyone made way for her and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Miss."
Ni Yueshan looked at the crying maid: "What happened? Why did you want to commit suicide?"
The maid knelt down and said, "I, Yixiang, was afraid yesterday and did not go forward to help the young lady. Young lady, I know I was wrong. If I could do it again, I would definitely help you. I can't go without two months' salary!"
Then she began to kowtow vigorously. Ni Yueshan looked at her and smiled, "Why not? The mansion provides food, shelter, and daily necessities. Will you starve to death or freeze to death?"
Yixiang looked at Ni Yueshan with grievance and explained, "I won't starve to death, nor will I freeze to death, but my family and my mother are still relying on my monthly allowance to buy medicinal herbs. Otherwise, they really can't hold on any longer!"
Her tears began to fall, one after another, and I felt so sorry for her.
Ren Mei, who was standing by, carefully reminded Ni Yueshan, "Miss, I know that she does have an elderly mother at home who relies on her monthly allowance to buy medicine for her illness!"
If I don't have two months' salary, I'll be dead...
"Please miss, please miss!"
Yixiang kowtowed hard, and she didn't stop even though her head was bruised.
The housekeeper rushed over upon hearing the news. He joined the crowd and said, "You little girl, I won't pay you your monthly salary. You should know where you went wrong. Why didn't Ren Mei get fined? You're still crying here, disturbing everyone. Do you still want to work?"
After the housekeeper finished scolding her, Yixiang stopped crying: "But, housekeeper, really, this servant really has no other choice. This servant really needs money!"
