I was a housekeeper in ancient times

The day to hand over the money to the public institution had arrived again. Mrs. Ding and Madam Sun came to find Lin Weiqiao early, fearing that she would not give it.

The fact was just as they expected. Lin Weiqiao really didn't give it to them. It wasn't that she didn't want to give it to them, she just wanted to postpone it for a while.

Mother Sun asked dissatisfiedly, "When will it be postponed? Can you please give me an exact date? Everyone downstairs is still waiting for dinner."

Lin Weiqiao chuckled, "It's hard to say."

"What do you mean, you don't want to give it?"

"That's not true. It's just that the world is in a difficult situation right now, and our first house is made up of women, so we don't have a regular income."

Mrs. Ding said, "Stop pretending to be poor. Didn't you just open an embroidery workshop?"

Lin Weiqiao followed up and said, "It's because I opened an embroidery shop that I can't make any money. I have to focus on the embroidery shop first. Second Madam, you also know that you have to save some money for business."

"Don't tell me all this nonsense. We, the second branch, don't have a share in the embroidery workshop. Why should we consider it? Hurry up and give me the money."

"No."

Ding became anxious. Relying on Lu Yuheng's official position, she became arrogant and treated the first wife the same way as before. She directly reached out for the money.

Lin Weiqiao just had two words to say: No.

Ding was about to make a scene and took people to find Yu Muyan.

Lin Weiqiao had already told Yu Muyan in advance to let her think about the first wife.

Now the first house has a large population, Xing Ge'er has been found again, and there will be Lian Yi Niang and Ban Qing's children in the future. With so many people, it all depends on Yu Muyan, and money is needed everywhere. Even if there is a lot of money, it must be used by our own people, and there is no need to give it to outsiders.

Ever since Sister Fan got lost and Brother Xing was swapped, no matter how weak Yu Muyan was, she would hate Madam Lu and the second house, and would not let them control her anymore.

Now Yu Muyan wants to take revenge for her children.

Ding thought that Yu Muyan was still easy to talk to, but she didn't expect that Yu Muyan also said no, which made her feel helpless.

"Sister-in-law, you are the eldest son of a wealthy family. How can you say that you don't have it?"

"Sister-in-law, don't you understand? I said you can't take it out and you can't take it out."

"Sister-in-law, if you don't pay the tax, do you want our whole family to starve to death?"

"Since when has the responsibility of supporting the family fallen on me alone?"

"It's always like this."

"It was the past. My husband was still here, and he took care of everything. Now that my husband is gone, I still have to take care of the people in our first house."

This left Ding speechless, and after returning to the second house, she was still confused.

After hearing this, Old Madam Lu also started to wonder, "When did Yu become so tough? This doesn't seem like her usual style."

Mrs. Ding said, "She just became bolder because no one can control her. Mother, what should we do? She won't give us money, so we..."

"The money is in someone else's hands, and they won't give it to you. Can you still snatch it away?"

"What about our family?"

In the past, Madam Lu could still use filial piety to suppress Yu Muyan, but because of Sister Fan's matter, Yu Muyan was resentful, and she couldn't do anything to Yu Muyan.

"Go find some elders from the clan to come and sit with us."

"Ok?"

Ding was stunned for a moment, then she understood Madam Lu's intention.

In the Shuangxi Courtyard. In order to hold a grand lantern parade banquet tonight, Yu Muliu pestered Yu Muyan for the whole afternoon, and her mouth was dry. "Second sister, just let me go out."

Yu Muyan still refused to give in. "Once you go out, no one can control you. And it's late at night, it's not safe."

"No, I can just bring more people with me. I've already promised Mianmian."

"You've already promised someone, and now you're asking me?"

Yu Muliu looked at Lin Weiqiao and Madam Li who were sorting out the account books, "Mom, Madam, please help me persuade my second sister."

Madam Li said with a smile, "Madam, just let the girl go. It's not a good idea to keep her at home all the time. My Si Yuan, I wish she could go out."

Lin Weiqiao also said: "Yes, at their age, it is their nature to love playing."

Yu Muyan finally nodded in agreement.

After dusk, there was still a faint glow on the horizon. Yu Muliu changed into her newly made colorful Luo Qiyun skirt early. She only ate a few bites of dinner before rushing out.

Yu Muyan was worried, so she asked Lin Weiqiao to take a few maids and servants to follow.

As soon as we arrived at the market, we looked around and saw all kinds of lanterns. It is no exaggeration to say that the lights in the streets make the night as bright as day.

The dancing dragon lanterns paraded through the streets, like a golden dragon descending to earth and wandering through the streets and alleys. Exquisite round lanterns were hung on trees and in front of doors, and the market was selling rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, and bright corner lanterns, which were overwhelming.

Even though Lin Weiqiao was old, she couldn't help but be dazzled. The world of flowers and flowers was indeed fascinating.

"Mianmian! I'm here!" Yu Muliu waved to Mianmian in the distance.

Not only Mianmian came, but also Kou Wulang.

Every time Lin Weiqiao saw Kou Wulang, the elegant gentleman, she would think of Wu Jun and lament how the gap between people could be so huge.

When a group of people travel together, they can take care of each other and it won't be so dangerous.

Yu Muliu saw that Mianmian and his sister each held a delicate little lamp in their hands, which was only the size of two palms. It looked very interesting and she was also very envious. "Where did you buy this from?"

Mianmian said proudly: "My father made it for us."

"Your dad is awesome."

"Of course, my dad loves to tinker with these things on weekdays."

Seeing Yu Muliu staring at the exquisite lamp, Kou Wulang couldn't bear it and simply gave the lamp to the owner.

Yu Muliu felt that happiness came too suddenly, and asked in disbelief: "Are you really giving it to me?"

Kou Wulang nodded, "These are just little girls' stuff, I don't really like them."

Yu Muliu felt like he had found a treasure and was smiling all the way.

Later on, as more and more people came, it became unavoidably hot and stuffy, and they were also a little tired, so they stopped by the river to rest and released some river lanterns.

Lin Weiqiao sat on a stone pier, fanning herself, and leisurely looked at the scenery, the flowing water, the lanterns, the young men and women, and the night. What a beautiful scene.

Yu Muliu, Mianmian and his sister were standing on the shore, discussing which direction to go.

Yu Muliu was in high spirits, but suddenly, a hidden arrow flew out from somewhere, and with a "swoosh" sound, it hit Yu Muliu's heart with lightning speed!

No one present, including Yu Muliu himself, expected that someone would assassinate him secretly.

Yu Muliu's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked down in disbelief.

At the same time, Lin Weiqiao was still looking around, and when she saw an extra hidden arrow on Yu Muliu's body, she thought she was seeing things.

The first person to react was Xiu'an, who made a sharp and piercing sound and shouted, "Girl!"
