After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

"Hard treatment?"

Su Qingwan sneered:

"You should go and find out how much the monthly allowance of the concubines in other mansions in the capital is."

"Don't even mention a concubine. Even a proper young lady would get 20 taels a month at most."

"Mrs. Xin, when you were a young lady in the mansion, I'm afraid you didn't even get ten taels of silver a month, right?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xin's face turned pale and she said nothing. Indeed, no. At that time, she was a concubine's daughter and her monthly allowance was only five taels of silver.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Su Qingwan took a sip of tea and continued:

"It's not that I don't want to part with the money."

"But people are always greedy. You get dozens of taels of silver every month, but you still cause trouble every day."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood what was going on.

Aunt Qiu couldn't help but say:

"Madam, it's clearly Aunt Xin and Aunt Huang who are making trouble. We are very well behaved."

Aunt Xin and Aunt Huang, who were named, cast angry glances at Aunt Qiu at the same time.

"I don't care who you are."

"Anyway, if there's a commotion, everyone's monthly salary will be cut in half."

"That's my rule."

"Come on, I'm tired."

Su Qingwan waved her hand and said this, which meant there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Aunt Huang wanted to say something, but the others covered her mouth and pulled her away.

They now understood that it would be very easy for the Madam to control them, and they could not let the Madam find any clues.

Aunt Qin and Yan Liu walked at the end.

When no one was around, Yan Liu whispered:

"Sister, Madam is so amazing."

"Yes, so don't expect too much from adults."

Aunt Qin was worried about Yan Liu because she was afraid that her sister would get deeply involved.

Only those who have truly come into contact with Yan Mingjue and understand him know how good he is.

However, his heart is cold. He only cares about people he cares about, and obviously they are not.

She used to think that Yan Ming would never take anyone to heart until Su Qingwan appeared.

"Don't worry, sister. I won't!"

Yan Liu said with a smile.

She knew very well that Yan Ming had absolutely no feelings for her and only treated her as a subordinate.

"After the spring, I'm afraid I'll have to leave."

"Sister, what about you?"

Yan Liu asked softly.

"I can't leave yet."

Aunt Qin also responded in a low voice:

"My Lord asked me to find out the real master behind those people."

"We didn't have any clues before, but after the Madam came in, they all became restless."

"With me here, I can help Madam a little."

Yan Liu nodded. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, she also knew that if women like them didn't want to be treated as playthings, they would have to pay more.

Since adults have given them such an opportunity, they will naturally seize it.

When Yan Mingjue came back, he heard what happened in the mansion. He frowned and went to Su Qingwan's yard.

"Why do you do this?"

Su Qingwan was originally leaning on the couch waiting for him. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows:

"My Lord, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"Do you think I'm too harsh on the concubines? Are you here to speak up for them?"

Yan Mingjue was stared at by her dark eyes and felt inexplicably guilty.

He always disdained to explain, but this time he spoke for the first time:

"It's not because of them."

Because he was not used to speaking out what was in his mind, he paused before continuing:

"Their backgrounds are not simple. If you force them into a corner, I'm afraid you will be in danger."
