Xiao Tao's words were not meant to scare Shen Yanran, but she really intended to do so.

If she didn't finish chopping all the firewood, she would have to be locked up in the firewood room forever. She would be released when all the firewood was chopped.

If you still want to continue eating, you can only continue working, chopping a load of firewood in exchange for a black-faced steamed bun.

If you want to eat white flour buns, you have to chop two loads of firewood.

The water is free to drink, but it is only well water, and she has to fetch it herself.

If you want hot water, you have to make it yourself, but you can also chop firewood.

It all depends on her choice.

The choice is hers, she can do whatever she wants, but there will be no such thing as pie falling from the sky.

However, Shen Yanran was willing to give up. In order to have enough food to eat and reduce her burden, she actually gave away one of her only two pieces of jewelry.

Lin Yaoyao had already anticipated this.

At the beginning, Lin Da and his men did not go too far and did not directly take away even the jewelry from Shen Yanran.

The people in the mansion had already received her instructions.

No matter what the other party offers to exchange, they just have to exchange it with Shen Yanran. As for how to exchange it, it is all up to them.

Should I help her do enough work honestly, or use some tricks to trick her into giving me the things?

How you do it is entirely up to you, and you don't have to hand in what you get.

Shen Yanran thought she was good at judging people, so she chose a servant who looked honest and simple.

She used one of her golden hairpins as a condition in exchange for the other party helping her to chop firewood for three days and make three buns.

The man did help chop wood for three days.

But when they made the deal, they didn't agree on how much wood he had to chop in a day?

So, in three days, he used the little conscience he had left to chopped six loads of firewood.

As for whether Shen Yanran would exchange two black-flour steamed buns a day, or three white-flour steamed buns in three days, it all depends on her own choice.

But Shen Yanran is stupid.

On the first day, she actually went to the kitchen to ask for a large bucket of hot water and went back to take a hot bath.

After she finished her shower and went to the kitchen to ask for food, she was told that there was no food left for the first day.

She thought that she had already eaten three buns by herself, so she didn't care what the kitchen meant.

She thought it was past the kitchen's meal time.

When she went to the kitchen early the next morning, she still hadn't received any food. She thought she went too early.

Next, no matter how many times she went to the kitchen, the same result awaited her.

She thought the boy didn't chop wood, but every time she went to the woodroom, she happened to see him chopping wood.

The same result occurred for three consecutive days.

Shen Yanran finally realized that something was wrong. She wanted to find the servant to find out the truth, but was told that the servant had just been sent to transport grain to the farm.

She found Xiaotao and without thinking, she started scolding her, venting all her resentment on her.

However, Xiaotao is no longer the same Xiaotao as before, and she will never allow herself to submit.

There is a saying that goes, villains die because they talk too much. Xiaotao will never talk too much if she can take action.

Without thinking, she rushed forward, grabbed Shen Yanran's hair, and slapped her face with one hand.

When the others saw her fighting, they came forward to help.

Soon, Shen Yanran was pinned to the ground by a group of people. After being beaten and kicked, she was unable to get up.

"Bah! What bad luck! You were blind and found the wrong person, and you want to put the blame on me?

You think I'm a weakling and you're picking on me, right? If I don't teach you a lesson, do you think my dye shop is bankrupt?"

The others also followed suit and spit at Shen Yanran.

Lin Zirou was clearly there, but she watched helplessly as her biological mother was beaten by the crowd, without even the slightest thought of stepping forward to help.

Shen Yanran just fell to the ground and started crying "Wuwu..."

"I won't live anymore! I won't live anymore! How dare you, a bunch of slaves, bully me? Do you know who I am?"

"Tsk, who else could it be? Aren't you just a concubine who was born in a brothel, worked as a mistress for more than ten years, and signed a contract to sell yourself?"

Shen Yanran lowered her head, her messy hair blocking her eyes.

She secretly swore in her heart that sooner or later she would take revenge for all the humiliation she suffered today!

She wants these people, and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, to die a miserable death!

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Just wait for me! Sooner or later, I will make you regret it! The pain you inflicted on me today, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!"

One of the servants pretended to hug him and said jokingly, "Oh, I'm so scared! Come and hit me! Come and kill me?"

Shen Yanran did not refute him, but just smiled foolishly, and later she laughed out loud.

This couldn't help but make everyone feel a little creepy.

Is this bitch crazy? Is she going to get up and bite people? Is madness contagious?

When everyone thought of this possibility, they immediately scattered, avoiding Shen Yanran who was still laughing wildly as if they were avoiding the god of plague.

Lin Zirou has been hiding in the dark, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.

After everyone left, he ran out from the side.

She helped Shen Yanran sit up, her face full of tears. If you didn't know, you would think she was really worried about her mother.

"Mom, are you okay? It's all my fault that I'm incompetent. I can't do anything and can't help you at all.

This is the half steamed bun I saved. I hid it with great difficulty. Come and eat it!"

In fact, Lin Zirou's treatment is much better now, of course it's not because Lin Yaoyao has relaxed his control over her.

Instead, she changed from her original job of farming to her job of pouring nightshade in the mansion.

It was indeed unacceptable to eat incense at night, but it allowed her to have three steamed buns every day.

What's more important is that after she started selling night incense, she realized that night incense, which had always been despised by everyone, could actually be exchanged for money.

She was not strong enough by herself, otherwise if she transported the flowers directly outside the city to sell, a bucket of night-scented incense could be sold for ten cents.

However, if you sell it directly to people who collect night-blooming incense, you can only get three cents for a bucket of night-blooming incense.

But even if it was only three cents, it was a pleasant surprise to her now.

The Marquis' Mansion could pour out at least two large buckets of night-blooming incense every day. She secretly saved six cents every day, which was enough for her to fill her stomach outside.

She originally intended to save the half steamed bun as a midnight snack.

But she hadn't stepped forward to help just now. If she didn't show her filial piety now, based on her understanding of her mother, she might blame herself!

If her brother really becomes successful in the future and her mother doesn't let her brother help her, who can she cry to?

Lin Zirou really didn't want to be tortured in the Marquis' Mansion anymore!

Not to mention a lifetime.
