Chapter 45: I almost suffocated to death
Qin Yinyao raised her eyebrows: "The money is delivered to my door."
Nanny Xia took the food box and opened it on the table next to her.
The first layer is snacks, and the second layer contains various deeds, a stack of silver bills, and some small pieces of precious jade.
"Miss, the Marquis's wife has added a lot of little things. Would you like to take a look?" After checking the various deeds and banknotes, she brought the lower food box to Qin Yinyao.
Qin Yinyao casually glanced at the items inside, which included pearl hairpins, gold hairpins, white jade hairpins, gold-painted jade crowns and combs, which filled up half of the box.
Each one looks pretty good and is worth some money.
But for officials and their families, these items were not exquisite enough and were just used to reward servants.
"Take out half of the banknotes and divide them with these jewelry." Qin Yinyao just took a quick glance and said casually.
Even Nanny Xia was slightly stunned.
Half of the banknotes is five thousand taels, so everyone can get a lot.
Add to that all the jewelry...it's enough to buy a secluded courtyard in the outer city of Kyoto.
"Well, let's divide it." Qin Yinyao nodded: "The Marquis' Mansion is not like the palace. No one will give you filial piety. Since you have followed me, you can't be too shabby."
"But these jewellery need to be put away first and worn later," she reminded.
You have to wait until the firewood is out from under the cauldron before taking it out.
Otherwise, given the Marquis’ suspicious nature, it would be too tiring if he came up with any more crooked ideas.
Nanny Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Does the person Miss is talking about include Nanny Sun and the two maids?"
"Of course." Qin Yinyao nodded: "Since they are one of us, I don't think they will be treated well when they teach Qin Yinshi etiquette there."
The Marquis' wife is not a fool.
Madam Sun was ostensibly sent by the Crown Prince to teach etiquette, but in reality, she was there to discipline Qin Yinshi. They couldn't openly resist, so naturally they would only pretend to be okay.
If you don't take revenge secretly, even if you have a brain, don't even think about getting any preferential treatment.
With three more people to share, the amount of money each person received was not a small amount, so no one was dissatisfied.
Except Hua Niang.
Hua Niang looked at Qin Yinyao pitifully: "Master, where is my slave?"
"Burn some for you?" Qin Yinyao joked.
Hua Niang was about to nod, but quickly shook her head: "I don't want gold ingots, I also want clothes and jewelry. You don't have to share the silver notes and jewelry from the living world with me, but if anyone who shared the silver didn't burn some clothes and jewelry for me, isn't that too much?"
"It's not excessive, but Miss Hua Niang is walking in the human world, are you sure you don't want some money?" Nanny Xia considered it carefully.
When the master goes out to do something and has other people with him, he doesn't have to worry about no one paying for what he wants to buy.
If Miss Hua is alone and penniless, what should she do if her master wants something?
Hua Niang: "...That makes sense."
"But can't you just go to the accounting office to withdraw money when you go out?" she asked.
Anyway, you can spend money when you go out and you don’t have to pay it back when you come back. If you have spent it all, you can spend it again next time you go out.
Nanny Xia was unusually silent.
Qin Yinyao didn't care about them. The money had already been given, so they could discuss how to distribute it among themselves.
In the next few days, Nanny Xia no longer went to the shop early and came back late to reconcile the accounts. Even the Marquis and his wife felt that she was being perfunctory.
Hua Sui also often said that the eldest lady was extremely dissatisfied with Nanny Xia, and in a rage, she even punished Nanny Xia by making her kneel for a long time.
The Marquis ate something bad and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea until he fainted and could only lie in bed to recover.
Leaning against the bed, half-closed his eyes: "Are you really punished to kneel?"
He always felt something was wrong.
The nobles who can survive in the palace are powerful, and the servants who can survive in the palace are even more resourceful.
He looked at the Marquis's wife who was serving the medicine and said, "Go and visit her once or twice to see if it's true."
According to the plan discussed by Nanny Xia and my wife, if I want to get away safely afterwards, I have to pretend to be sick and act convincingly. It's so foolish to be so perfunctory.
The Marquis's wife paused while feeding him the medicine: "Yes, I'll go after you finish taking the medicine."
"I don't need your service." The Marquis took the bowl and drank it in one gulp. He choked and ended up half lying on the edge of the bed coughing.
The Marquis's wife took the spittoon as usual, placed it in front of him, and patted his back gently.
Ever since the luck-borrowing formation was broken, they have been extremely unlucky.
Suddenly, the Marquis's wife paused and asked suspiciously, "My Lord, do you think that Nanny Xia was punished to kneel because Qin Yinyao saw through her flaws?"
Their luck has been so good lately, and whatever they are planning...it's hard to say whether it will be affected.
When the Marquis heard this, he wanted to stop coughing and ask his wife to go check it out. He couldn't stop coughing and could only push her with his hands: "Cough cough... cough cough..."
In a hurry, I used more strength.
The Marquis's wife was pushed by her and fell directly from the bed to the ground. Her elbow hit the ground and the pain made her face turn pale instantly.
The Marquis used too much force and fell off the bed. He also accidentally knocked over the spittoon, and the filth in it spilled all over his body, and some even splashed into his mouth.
Lord Hou: "Yue cough... cough cough..."
The Marquis's wife covered her elbow, disgusted and silent.
After a few breaths, he endured the pain and called the servants in: "Help the Marquis bathe and change clothes."
"My Lord, I'll go take a look." She held her breath, bowed to the Lord, turned around and walked quickly out of the room before taking a deep breath.
I almost suffocated to death.
After tidying up his clothes, he went to Nanny Xia's room.
Previously, Nanny Xia was just sitting by the bed, but now she was leaning on the bed with gauze wrapped around her knees.
"Madam, what's this..." The Marquis's wife asked knowingly.
Nanny Xia glanced at her and said, "How can you escape responsibility if you don't suffer a little?"
The Marquis's wife remained expressionless, was she really being punished?
"I just didn't expect the young lady to be so cruel. I'm such an old woman, and yet she made me kneel for an entire afternoon! If Chunqi hadn't interceded for me and called a doctor in time, I'm afraid I would have developed a serious illness."
He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "The Marquis's money is so hard to come by."
"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble." The Marquis's wife understood what was happening and pulled out five hundred taels of silver from her sleeve, handing it over to her: "Madam, take this and take good care of your injuries."
After Nanny Xia took the banknote, she withdrew her hand and placed it on her knee, exerting a little strength: "My leg is seriously injured..."
"Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, he was frightened by Nanny Xia's cry of pain and let go.
Nanny Xia sat up angrily: "Madam, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to untie it and take a closer look?"
People's reactions couldn't be faked. Seeing her pained expression, the Marquis's wife realized she was indeed injured. She chuckled and said, "Excuse me, I'm just concerned about Madam's injury."
"Oh." Nanny Xia snorted coldly: "If you, Madam, don't trust me, I will return the money to you immediately, and you can go to the eldest lady to accept the punishment yourself!"
"It's nothing." The Marquis's wife hurriedly comforted him.
As she was speaking, the maid knocked on the door: "Madam, someone is coming from the palace to announce the decree!"
