The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

Wang Po was heartbroken. She wiped away her tears with her wrinkled hands. "They say that Aunt Lin can't read a single word. She came from a brothel and can only flirt with the prince. I thought she was a foolish woman, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide it from you. Hey! Hey! Hey! It's my fault!"

"Granny Tian and I didn't do anything else. We just raised some fish, shrimps and crabs in the lake and secretly transported them out to sell for some money..."

Gu Huai was completely shocked.

His eyes widened.

Thinking he had misheard, he mumbled, "You can raise fish, shrimp, and crabs in this lake? How do you transport them out?"

Granny Tian cried out, "We have our own way."

Gu Huai was as dumb as a puppet, clutching his sleeves without moving, "Didn't they say two girls were hanged here? Is there a ghost?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

Wang Po raised her old face, red with sorrow and tears, and said, "A maid was hanged to death."

"What are ghosts afraid of? The scariest thing is poverty."

……

Gu Huai led Lin Qianqian and strode into Yu's room. He had never been so angry.

"Mother! This mansion should be properly managed! Don't you know what those women in the East Garden are doing behind our backs? They are raising fish in the garden without our knowledge. They even cut down a forest and sold it as firewood!"

"What?" Yu stood up from her seat in shock.

The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Gu Huai stepped forward and said, "Mother, Qianqian and I saw it with our own eyes, and the two maids confessed. I have never heard of such a thing! They are really too rampant!"

Yu clenched her fists, "There is such a thing."

"Call Granny Tian and Granny Wang in!"

As soon as the two old women entered the room, they knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, begging Yu to let them go.

Cheng Jiayao got the news half a cup of tea later. Her people got the news and went to Xiaoxiang Garden to report to her first, and then she got up and went to Jinfeng Yulu Pavilion.

Lin Qianqian and Gu Huai went directly to Yu's courtyard, walking in a straight line, much faster than her pace.

"Jia Yao didn't even know about such an important matter?" Yu pinched the handkerchief in her hand, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

Cheng Jiayao suddenly came in from outside, she had obviously come running. Her bangs were wet and clumps, her pretty face was flushed, and a drop of sweat slid down her temples.

She still bowed politely and said, "Greetings to mother."

"Mother, I heard that Aunt Lin went to the East Garden today and discovered something incredible."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Qianqian with a smile, malice in her eyes.

Lin Qianqian didn't tell her directly about this, but told her wife instead. What was her intention?

Yu's face was not happy. "Yes, the two maids in the East Garden raised fish in the lake without our knowledge and sold the fish for money. They also cut down a piece of trees and sold them for money."

Cheng Jiayao had already heard the news from the servants, but she was still shocked. "Isn't this East Garden abandoned? It turns out that they can still raise fish there."

Little did she know that this sentence was a dereliction of duty in Yu's eyes.

Yu was very angry and slammed the table, "Abandoned? It's been so long and you didn't even know. If Gu Huai and Aunt Lin hadn't discovered it today, how much more money would they have taken from occupying our land for nothing?"

Cheng Jiayao was so frightened that she trembled, knelt on the ground, and called out pitifully: "Mother..."

This Lin Qianqian didn't come here to trouble her every day like she did in her previous life, and didn't hand the handle to her. She had to use new means. How, how could she bring herself into the trap?

Aren't those two women very powerful? How could they be caught by Lin Qianqian and discovered such a serious matter?

Seeing that Cheng Jiayao knew her mistake, Yu's heart softened. She chose to take Cheng Jiayao's dignity into consideration: "You work hard for the Marquis' Mansion every day, so it is inevitable that you will be negligent."

She suddenly looked at Lin Qianqian and said sternly, "Jiayao asked you to manage the East Garden, and you dragged Huai'er with you. You made a good man lose interest in studying and completely ruined his studies! Aunt Lin, tell me, how much money do they embezzle every year?"

Yu glanced at Lin Qianqian and asked this question deliberately.

She heard that Lin Qianqian was illiterate and didn't know how to count, so her purpose was to expose her uneducated side in order to divert everyone's attention.

Lin Qianqian thought for a while, grabbed a strand of hair by her ear, and hooked it around her fingertips.

“一亩水面可以养草鱼400-600尾。鲤鱼可以养300尾。这东湖大约有300亩。这一条鱼大概10-15文钱不等，个头大的能卖更多的钱。”

When it came to the key point, she turned to the servant next to her and said, "Xiao Zhao, calculate how much silver can this fish alone get?"

Gu Zhao didn't expect Lin Qianqian to point to him. He was stunned for a moment and said, "I can get at least 300 taels of silver a year."

"If we add the firewood from the western forest, it should be 600 taels."

Fire was about to burst out of Yu's eyes. She raised her hand and slapped Granny Tian and Granny Wang twice.

"I thought you were here to serve the old lady, so I let you live in the mansion in your old age. I didn't expect you to use the lake and forest of the mansion to make money for yourselves."

"Jiayao, tell me, how should we deal with them?"

Cheng Jiayao wiped the tears from her eyes and said with her head down, "Mother, these two women have dirty hands and feet. Such crimes are enough to sell them or send them to the farm."

She has obtained all the answers to all the papers in this life and knows the optimal solution.

Suddenly, the person who set the questions changed, and the questions on the test paper also changed.

Cheng Jiayao was at a loss.

Granny Tian knocked her forehead so hard that blood flowed out. She cried, "Please spare my life, Madam. I won't dare to do it again! You are forcing me to die!"

Granny Wang stood up and was about to bang her head against the pillar, but was stopped by Nanny Hong.

At this time, Lin Qianqian stood up and said, "Madam, I have a better idea. I don't know whether I should say it or not, so I'll just say it first."

"These Wang Po and Tian Po are able to raise fish so well and make so much money, so they are experienced. I think it would be better to let them make amends and continue to manage the East Garden and hand over all the money earned from selling fish to the Marquis' Mansion. They have taken care of the old lady before, and if we drive them out like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. It will only make people say that our Marquis' Mansion treats old servants harshly and is cruel and unkind."

"What happened in the past doesn't matter, just change it. Besides, there are so many people eating and drinking in the mansion, and the expenses are so huge, it takes skill to be able to make money."

"Now the Marquis' Mansion has two more sons, and we need to spend money to marry them. When I become an official in the future, I will have to take care of everything, and there will be a lot of expenses. Moreover, my monthly allowance has been reduced recently. It will not be reduced for no reason. I guess the Marquis' Mansion will have to be frugal in the future. So we must increase income and reduce expenditure."

When Lin Qianqian heard the words "the most terrible thing is poverty", she felt that these two women had suffered a lot. These two old women didn't know how to survive outside. It was a tragedy for women in this era to be in the outside world. If they couldn't survive, they might harm others. Lin Qianqian clearly remembered that Wang Po in Jin Ping Mei was a pimp who coaxed young women's bodies to make money. In order to survive, she probably trafficked women and children.

The heroine is still the same. She beats, kills and sells all the concubines and servants in the mansion. She is so cruel that she doesn't treat them as human beings. She just wants to establish her authority.

Another thing is that she didn't want to follow the heroine's wishes. She still remembered what happened to Taozhi last time.

Third, yes, she just wants to win people’s hearts.

If it worked, she would have saved the lives of the two old women in times of crisis, and they would never harm her in the future.
