My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?
Chapter 27: Deductions
Cai Lian was completely stunned. She covered her face with the bright red slap mark. Her face was burning. She ran to Lin Yulan and cried and complained, "I don't know how I angered Madam Meng. I was scolded by Madam Meng. Please help me, Madam!"
Seeing Cai Lian being beaten, Lin Yulan actually felt very happy.
A servant who betrays his master is not worthy of sympathy.
"My sister is straightforward, but she is also reasonable. Next time she comes to serve you, be careful and don't offend her again. Well, you don't have to come to serve me for the next two days. Go back to your room and have a good rest. Xiaoqu, give Cailian a hundred coins as a reward."
Cailian had no choice but to take the money, thank the emperor and leave.
If the master said she had offended him, then she had offended him. Could she still argue with the master? Besides, she had no evidence.
Madam Meng was really like a madman. She was at odds with Madam Hou, so why was she taking it out on me? She looked at me with such fierceness, as if I had done something unforgivable to her. But I didn't even know her. Even if she wanted to take it out, she should have taken it out on Xiao Qu.
When Lin Yuwei left Wuwei Marquis Mansion, she was seen by Shao Zhixin.
She didn't know Lin Yuwei, so she asked a passing maid and found out that she was her cousin's sister-in-law's younger sister, the second daughter of the Lin family who was supposed to marry her cousin.
Shao Zhixin chuckled contemptuously: "I heard that the second young lady of the Lin family married a small minions of the Five Military Commander's Office. It is said that she fell in love with him at first sight. How ridiculous! How blind must she be to give up our Marquis' Mansion for a man like that."
The maid Qingyun smiled and said, "Who knows if he is really stupid or if he is being tricked into being stupid."
Shao Zhixin covered her mouth and smiled, "That's true!"
Now, although this cousin's wife is not outstanding and doesn't look like a smart person, who knows? Sometimes stupid people can also scheme against others.
"Send someone to find out why she came to our house today."
"Yes, Miss."
Xiaoqu found out that the wife of Duke Rong seemed to have some good news to announce at the banquet, so she held a flower-viewing banquet to make it lively and auspicious.
Lin Yulan nodded. It was good to know now. She would have a better idea about how to dress and behave.
She thought about it and felt that she should also tell Shao Xun, so she casually told Xiao Xing to tell him.
Xiao Xing was stunned for a moment, but Feng He beside her pushed her gently, and she woke up as if from her dream. She quickly agreed to go with a smile.
Shao Xun was not at home. According to Mrs. Shao or Mrs. Fu, "I don't know where he went to play cockfighting and dog running again."
Just take the message to Zizhuyuan, Shao Xun will know when he comes back.
Lin Yulan didn't expect that in the evening, Shao Xun came to Chunhui Garden and said that he wanted to have dinner together and stay overnight.
Lin Yulan showed her joy just right.
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
As a newlywed, Shao Xun always has to stay for a while from time to time.
Lin Yulan felt much more at ease knowing that he was so self-aware.
If he doesn't come, Lin Yulan has already thought about it. In about three days, she will ask Xiaoqu to invite him.
Otherwise, the servants in the Marquis' Mansion would look down on Lin Yulan, the Marquis' wife.
Shao Xun has a bad temper. Even if he is not in charge of the household, no one in the mansion dares to look down on him or deduct money from him. But it is different towards Lin Yulan.
Shao Xun came over unexpectedly, and the people in the kitchen were unaware of the situation. Xiao Qu was also cunning and didn't say a word when he went to get the food. It was the same today as before.
As a result, when the food was served, Shao Xun got very angry and immediately ordered Madam Qi to put the food into food boxes and send them to his second aunt Fu.
Aunt Qi looked at Lin Yulan with a sad face, and Lin Yulan smiled and said, "My Lord, it must be that Xiao Qu was careless and forgot to tell the kitchen that you were here, so she neglected it. Just ask someone to go to the kitchen again, there is no need to trouble Second Aunt."
Madam Qi quickly apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, Madam Hou is right. It must be the negligence of the people in the kitchen. I will go to the kitchen and get the Marquis's share. I will definitely give them a good lecture and ask them to be more careful next time."
Shao Xun sneered: "What? I can't order you around? If that's the case, get out of the mansion!"
Madam Qi's face turned green. "Yes, yes, I will go right away. Please forgive me, my Lord! Please forgive me, my Lord!"
"What a bummer," Shao Xun snorted, looking unhappy.
He looked at Lin Yulan and said, "Let's go out to eat, shall we?"
Lin Yulan was stunned, then nodded and smiled: "Of course I will listen to you, Lord Marquis."
"Okay, let's go!"
"Yes."
For fear that Xiaoqu would be implicated, Lin Yulan took her away as well.
In the carriage, Shao Xun said, "You are too easygoing. Why don't you tell them about their deductions?"
Lin Yulan said softly, "The food is fine, I didn't know it was deducted. Besides, even if it was deducted, it was limited. It's not worth making a fuss over such a small matter."
In fact, she knew at a glance that the meals delivered to her daily were withheld. She had been the wife of the Crown Prince and the wife of the Duke, and the Marquis's wife was also the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. How could she not know what the meal portions were?
The deductions were not excessive, and the money she used was much better than when she was in the Lin family, so she pretended not to know.
Shao Xun smiled helplessly: "Forget it, as long as you have no objection, I will go to the banquet at the Duke of Rong's mansion tomorrow. Be careful with my second aunt, she is a petty person."
Lin Yulan nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Fu and Mr. Shao and his wife were having lunch, and Nanny Qi didn't dare to disturb them. However, she thought Shao Xun was still waiting for a reply in Chunhui Garden, and she didn't dare to keep the evil spirit waiting for long, so she had to bite the bullet and ask for a meeting.
Fu asked someone to call her in, still wondering and laughing with Master Shao: "Why did Madam Qi come here at this time? I wonder what happened to our niece's wife."
When Madam Qi opened the food box and stammered out the purpose of her visit, Mrs. Fu and Mr. Shao's faces suddenly turned ugly.
Master Shao frowned and scolded Fu: "You are really becoming more and more petty. What's the point of being greedy for these little things? What's the point of letting someone come to you and make trouble for you!"
Fu was so angry that her face turned purple. She held back her anger and smiled, "Second Master, this is really unfair to me. I don't care about this. It must be the work of those maids in the kitchen. I'll tell them later. They are becoming more and more unbecoming!"
Fu's trusted maids, such as Qiaodie, who were serving beside her, did not dare to say a word. They knew that their master loved money. The allowances for the three meals a day of the Marquis' wife were not small. If they deducted money for a month, there would be 40 or 50 taels! Adding the money deducted from other aspects, she would get 200 or 300 taels a month.
These are all the second wife’s private belongings.
Master Shao snorted, "You are a petty profiteer. Don't think I don't know. I am warning you. You are old now. Don't do such things again. If your reputation is ruined and people laugh at you, I can't afford to lose face. I will make you pay when the time comes."
