Chapter 004: Game within a game

But now, Su Jin really has no time to deal with her.

Because Mrs. Wen from the old lady's side went to get today's share.

When Jin Chuan got the news, she rushed directly into the house.

Mrs. Liu was startled. She looked up and saw that it was Jinchuan from the eldest lady's room. She frowned.

"I'm here to get my share."

Jin Chuan's expression remained unchanged. Mrs. Liu snorted coldly and pointed at something in the corner: "Look, that's yours, take it!"

Jin Chuan didn't waste any time. She took her things and walked out very quickly.

When she reached a sparsely populated road, she sat down, weighed the food first, and found that there was indeed less. Then she looked at the food again and found that the rice was stale and had turned yellow. The meat was not fresh, and especially the leaves of the vegetables had turned yellow. This was not food for the master. Even if it was for the maids and servants, she would be scolded by them!

Humph, this Lin Wanhui is becoming more and more inhumane. She has only been in charge for a few days, and she treats the lady like this?

The more Jin Chuan thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth and continued to sit there, waiting for Wen's mother to appear.

Almost as soon as Jin Chuan left, Mother Wen came, followed by a little maid.

"Hey, Mommy Wen!"

Naturally, Mrs. Liu was very trying to please Mother Wen and was extremely enthusiastic.

Mother Wen is by the old lady’s side. Her hair is all white, but she is very dignified and her status is like that of half the master of the Marquis’s mansion.

She just smiled and didn't answer. She asked the little girl to take the things and sign, then turned around and left.

Outside, Jinchuan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Wen's mother coming from afar, and immediately ran to the shadow of a rockery and began to cry.

Mother Wen was walking when she suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked in the direction of the rockery.

"Juan'er, did you hear anything?"

The little maid listened carefully and said, "It sounds like someone is crying."

Mother Wen frowned and immediately said, "Who are you? Come out!"

Jin Chuan then came out with a pair of red eyes from crying. Seeing that it was Mother Wen, she quickly bowed and said, "Mother Wen."

"Jinchuan?" Isn't this the maid in the Madam's room? Why is she crying here? Is the Madam bullying even her own people?

Su Jin's reputation in the mansion was too bad, so Mother Wen naturally thought that Su Jin had bullied Jin Chuan, so she said, "What's going on? Tell me, and I'll report to the old lady and make the decision for you."

This was exactly what Jin Chuan was waiting for. Upon hearing it, she knelt down and spread out the share she had received in front of Mother Wen.

"Mother Wen, although our eldest lady is a bit domineering on weekdays, she has never punished any servants, nor has she been mean to any servants. She just has some friction with Miss Lin. But recently, the servants in the mansion have bullied our eldest lady!"

"Look at today's rations. The rice is all stale and has turned yellow. The meat is not fresh and has a bad smell. The leaves of the vegetables have turned yellow. Moreover, the weight is not enough. There are only three pounds of pork instead of six pounds. Madam Wen, even though the Madam is a bit domineering, she should not be trampled on by the servants. This is not humiliating our Madam, this is humiliating the reputation of the Marquisate as well!"

Jin Chuan cried as she spoke, her eyes full of grievance.

Mother Wen was stunned for a moment. She thought Su Jin had done something excessive again, but who would have thought it was just a routine matter.

She lowered her head to check and found that it was true. Her brows furrowed even deeper.

"When did it happen?"

"It has been like this for the past few days. I told the Madam, but she said that Granny Liu must be in trouble and told me not to go looking for her. But if this goes on, six taels of meat will become three taels. What about in the future, will there be nothing left? Normally, people say that our Madam is domineering, but now that she is no longer domineering, she will be bullied by the servants, wuwuwu..."

Jin Chuan cried her heart out and Mother Wen could only comfort her with a few words before leaving.

After everyone left, Jin Chuan took the things back to Liuting Pavilion to report to Su Jin.

"Madam, I met Mother Wen."

Jin Chuan told Su Jin what happened, and she nodded. Then she smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, let Mama Wen go through all the maids who receive their share in each courtyard. Jin Chuan, can you do it?"

Touch every yard one by one?

Now even a fool would understand what Su Jin wanted to do. Jin Chuan stopped pinching her shoulders and said excitedly, "You can do it, Sister Jin Chuan can definitely do it, huh?"

"Ha, now that's good, let's see if that little bitch can still laugh!"

"snort!"

Yuchuan thought viciously, and felt refreshed when she thought of the ending. She even wished she could see Lin Wanhui being punished by the old lady right away.

It must be very satisfying!

At this time, Mother Wen also returned to the old lady and told her about seeing Jin Chuan.

"Deducting the lady's share?"

Zou was surprised: "Wanhui doesn't seem like that kind of person. She and the eldest lady have always been at odds. Could the eldest lady have done this on purpose?"

Look at the original body's character, it's really terrible. Even her own mother-in-law sided with the concubine.

But it's true. The original body was like a transparent person in the mansion. Except for the people she brought with her, no one disliked her, including her three biological children.

Mother Wen shook her head: "Madam, if the lady had this brain, Lin Wanhui wouldn't have been jumping around for so long."

The implication is that it doesn't seem intentional.

The old lady was even more surprised, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Then you should go and have a look more often in the next few days."

"yes."

After hearing what the old lady said, Mother Wen went to collect her share the next day. This time she met Jin Chuan and Zhou Xiaoniang's maid Qingmei.

Mother Wen took a glance and realized that something was wrong with Zhou Xiaoniang's share, as if the amount was a little too little.

She left the maid to take the things, turned around and called out to Jin Chuan and Qing Mei. After asking, she found out that Zhou Xiaoniang was deducted money earlier than Su Jin.

Mother Wen’s face didn’t look very good.

However, this was just the beginning. After that, I would run into maids from other courtyards almost every day, and without exception, all of them had their share of wages deducted, the only difference was that some had more, some had less.

Mother Wen simply hid behind the rockery where Jin Chuan cried, and waited for the people in Lin Wanhui's yard until she saw Mother Li leaving with a large pile of things. There were so many things that they were almost as much as the share in the old lady's yard!

"ha!"

Mother Wen was so angry that she laughed.

I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone so arrogant. It's okay if you were a little greedy, but you've done so much. Are you dreaming of going to the sky?

Mother Wen angrily told the old lady Zou about this matter.

Zou paused, and the handkerchief in her hand fell into the flower bed, leaving a hole in it.

This handkerchief was embroidered by Lin Wanhui herself and sent over.

Mother Wen glanced at the punctured handkerchief and couldn't help but say.

"Madam, what should we do now?"
