Chapter 18 Please let the old lady decide

“Mmm…”

The two old women wanted to speak, but they couldn't utter a word.

Su Jin smiled and stared at the three maids kneeling behind them: "You speak."

The three maids were startled and immediately knelt down trembling. The two timid ones dared not speak anymore, but the brave one spoke with a stammer.

"My dear Madam, it is because the government has just issued a rule that each courtyard's share will be reduced by half..."

"Half the portion?"

Su Jin smiled. It turned out to be about this matter.

"The old lady agreed to halve the allowance. It's fine if you guys are making a fuss, but why don't you go to the old lady to make a fuss instead of coming to me? Do you think that I, a lady, am easy to bully?"

The little maid was so scared that she kowtowed repeatedly.

"No, Madam, you are wrongly accusing me. We originally went to collect our share, but when we saw that half of it was missing, we asked about it. Then Granny Liu brought up this matter and said that it was Madam's idea, so, so..."

The little maid hesitated and didn't dare to say anything more, but Su Jin already understood what she meant.

She looked at the two women lying on the ground and continued, "So you found some people to come here and cause trouble?"

As she spoke, her tone changed and she angrily said, "You are so bold!"

The three little maids were so frightened that they put their heads on the ground and trembled.

As for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Sun, their mouths were broken by Su Jin and they could no longer utter a word. Even though the two of them kept shaking their heads in anxiety, it was useless. If you have the guts, open your mouth and speak!

Su Jin was not stupid. After figuring out what was going on, he said to Jin Chuan, "Take these people and go see the old lady."

The housekeeper of this marquis' mansion is still the old lady Zou.

As a daughter-in-law, she naturally had to go and have a good talk with her mother-in-law.

"yes!"

Jin Chuan called a few servants, arrested Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Sun, and went straight to the old lady's courtyard.

But just after she went out, Su Jin saw Lin Wanhui and Mother Li sneaking around her yard. She laughed on the spot and turned around to greet them with a smile: "Sister, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Wanhui was stunned, looking a little embarrassed.

She had wanted to watch the fun here, but ended up not being able to see it and was discovered by Su Jin. What made her even more frustrated was that she didn't hear Mrs. Liu making a fuss, but now she saw that Mrs. Liu had been beaten so badly that she couldn't utter a word.

Useless thing! Your mouth is broken, what can you say?

It’s impossible to cause trouble for Su Jin.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just came out for a walk, hehe..."

"I have something to do at the old lady's place now. Do you want to come with me, sister?"

Su Jin stared at her. Didn’t she just want to watch the fun? Well, today she would take Lin Wanhui with her to watch the fun!

"Ah? This, I..."

Su Jin was generous, but Lin Wanhui hesitated. After all, the previous Su Jin was not like this. Not to mention taking her to see the old lady, the two of them would almost want to fight as soon as they met.

Lin Wanhui felt that she couldn't quite understand Su Jin.

"Not going? Forget it, Jinchuan, let's go."

Su Jin turned around and left. Lin Wanhui became anxious again: "Let's go together, together!"

As he said this, he followed.

Seeing her like this, Su Jin just found it ridiculous. Things that are not presentable will never be presentable.

Soon, the group arrived at the old lady's residence.

Zou didn't know what was going on. She came out to take a look and saw people kneeling on the ground in the yard. Su Jin and Lin Wanhui had both come. Su Jin looked calm, but Lin Wanhui's eyes were a little vague.

Zou frowned: "What's going on?"

"Yinzhu, say again what you just said to me."

Yinzhu was the little girl who had spoken just now, and she told the story again.

Su Jin waited for her to finish before speaking: "Old Madam, these two old women started the trouble and even made it to my yard. In order to avoid disturbing you, your daughter-in-law has already punished them. There is also another matter of punishment. I hope your Madam will explain it to everyone, so that everyone will not be unhappy in the future and run to your daughter-in-law to make trouble. Then your daughter-in-law will never have peace."

When Zou learned the whole story, her face suddenly looked unhappy.

She has always had the final say on matters in the rear quarters of the Marquis' Mansion. In the rear quarters, Zou has the final say.

And now, there are still people who are not convinced by the order issued from her own courtyard. This is not just a simple provocation to Su Jin, it is a disregard for her, an old lady.

Although Su Jin lightly took all the blame on herself with just a few words, Zou knew in her heart that the daughter-in-law was just trying to save face for her, an old woman.

Looking at the two old women who were beaten, Old Woman Liu was in charge of the allowance and also came from Lin Wanhui's courtyard. Old Woman Sun was from Gu Changqing's room. One was her aunt's person and the other was her son's person. Zou had an idea of ​​how they would be dealt with.

She looked at Lin Wanhui and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Lin here too?"

Lin Wanhui bowed and said softly, "I met my sister on the way, so we came together."

"This old lady Liu, I remember she is from your courtyard?"

Lin Wanhui's eyes turned red, and she knelt down with a plop. "Originally I have no right to speak here, but since the old lady asked, I told her that Granny Liu did come from my courtyard, but she has always been conscientious and worked hard. I hope that Sister will be lenient with her."

Do your duty?

Su Jin wanted to laugh. It seemed that Lin Wanhui didn't know that the old lady had already known about Liu Po's withholding of the concubine's share of the courtyard.

Haha, it really paid off to invite Lin Wanhui to watch the show.

Su Jin's face showed no expression, but Lin Wanhui had already grabbed her skirt and cried, "Sister, please be considerate. Granny Liu is no longer in my yard. She is no longer mine. She works in the Marquis' Mansion and belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. Even if you don't like me, please don't vent your anger on others..."

Very good.

Su Jin wanted to clap her hands. She was so angry at others, but now she was the one who was to blame.

Fortunately, she had made sufficient preparations in advance and spoke directly: "Back then, I kindly invited my sister to play with me, and my sister played with my husband's bed. What you did was not authentic. How can I like you?"

Lin Wanhui's face changed slightly. After all, what happened back then was indeed shameful on her part.

"Just because I don't like you doesn't mean anyone can come to my house and cause trouble. Whether Granny Liu is yours or not, she deserves this beating!"

Lin Wanhui's face became even uglier, and anger was boiling in her heart.

She bit her lip and looked at Zou pitifully: "Madam, you are the most upright. Wanhui begs you to say something fair."

Oh, at this time, she is still dreaming that the old lady can help her.

Come, let’s listen together to see what the old lady plans to do.
