On the second day, the news that Su Qingwan was abandoned spread throughout the Yan Mansion:

"I heard that the lady went to the front yard yesterday and annoyed the master. After the guests left, the master reprimanded the lady and even banned her from walking."

"Yes, it is true. I heard that when the master left yesterday, his face looked very grim."

"But later on, it was fine to go to Madam Liu's place."

"I heard that there was a commotion in the house all night, and the water was requested four or five times."

"It seems that the Lord really dotes on Madam Liu. Even when Madam was the most favored, she was not like this."

"Of course. When Madam came in, Master didn't even stay for the wedding night."

"..."

The backyard of the Yan Mansion was out of control and was like a sieve. These rumors not only spread within the mansion, but also quickly spread to the streets and alleys.

Qinshu and Miaohua were extremely angry. Today, they caught several gossiping maids. Although they had punished them, they could not control everyone's mouths.

The most hateful thing is that when Miaohua went to the kitchen today, the maidservant beside Aunt Liu actually dared to yell at her.

She was not polite at all and slapped the maid.

She is just a girl from a brothel, but she thinks she is someone important. Now, she is just relying on the favor of the adults.

Miaohua used to think Yan Mingjue was a good person, but now she feels that he is a piece of shit.

Su Qingwan didn't care about these. She turned a page of the book and asked:

"Have you found out the details of that maid?"

"We have found out that she is indeed just a maid who sweeps the floor. However, we recently discovered that she is getting close to the maid in Aunt Huang's courtyard."

"Aunt Huang?"

Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect the final answer to be like this.

Aunt Huang was the one with the least background among the concubines, and her appearance was not stunning. It was said that she was rescued by Yan Mingjue at that time, and later she insisted on following him and simply stayed in the mansion.

The last time Aunt Huang and Aunt Hong had a fight, they were used as pawns.

I'm afraid this time is no exception.

The person who really wanted to harm her probably knew that Huang Tianba was in the front yard, so he let her go there on purpose.

This is a very vicious idea.

"Miss, these concubines are really too arrogant."

It's only been a few days, and everyone has changed. Today, not a single person came to pay their respects.

Qinshu bit her lip and was almost crying with anger.

It was just a matter of house arrest, but they didn't take the young lady seriously.

"It's just human nature, don't be upset."

The backyard and the harem are actually the same thing. No matter how high your status is, it still depends on the favor of a man.

In the eyes of everyone, she, as a lady, would not be able to sit on the throne for too long, and naturally no one would respect her.

However, she didn't know that Su Qingwan had never relied on men.

Thinking of this, she slowly said:

"Call Zhou Shan."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qinshu knew that the young lady had an idea.

Soon, Zhou Shan arrived. He was not one of those people who only cared about others. Ever since the master had forbidden the lady to come, he had been even more respectful to her than before.

Not to mention that the lord is not indifferent to Madam, but considering that Madam risked her life to stop someone last time, no one in this mansion can get past Madam.

"Madam, what are your orders?"

Su Qingwan raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then said calmly:

"In winter, food prices have increased, even charcoal has become more expensive. There are so many people in the mansion, and this cannot go on like this."

"From today on, the charcoal fire in the backyard will be reduced by half, and the silver charcoal will be changed to ordinary charcoal. Winter clothes were made last year, so they will not be used this year."

"Also, except for the servants in the backyard, the monthly salary will be reduced by half, and I am no exception."

"Nowadays, the emperor advocates frugality. As court officials, we naturally have to start with ourselves, so each concubine's meal has been changed from four dishes and one soup to two dishes and one soup."

"That's it for now."

"Go down."

"Yes!" Zhou Shan responded quickly after hearing this.

Coming out of Su Qingwan's yard, he wiped the cold sweat from his head.

In the middle of winter, he was actually frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

A madam is a madam. With just a few words, the situation in the backyard changes.

When those concubines hear the news, they will probably make a fuss!

Zhou Shan had a headache.
