Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 17 Aren’t you old-fashioned people supposed to never marry again?

The faces of the housekeepers were all filled with disappointment.

Could it be that the Second Wife would disregard the lives of the servants just to please a lowly concubine's daughter?

"Second Madam, according to the eldest lady's arrangement, we old slaves will have no way to survive." One of the old women couldn't help crying, and turbid tears flowed down her old face.

The several housekeepers nearby all looked distressed.

"We work so hard all year round, and still owe the Zhou family several taels of silver."

Su Rutang looked at it in surprise.

Chunxi took the notice written by Zhou Qiongyu.

Su Rutang took a closer look and couldn't help but sigh.

They are all penalty regulations.

"The eldest girl has just taken over the management, so naturally she is a little unfamiliar. As the elders in the mansion, you should give her some advice on everything."

Zhang Caijia knelt down.

"It's not that I didn't give you some advice, it's just that the young lady is stubborn and self-willed. She said that the old rules of the mansion should not be followed and she did things according to her instructions."

The woman with high cheekbones also agreed:

"That Murong woman followed the master for seven or eight years, and now after her death she is only worthy of being buried on a straw mat?"

Several people talked at once and told the whole story.

Su Rutang glanced at Zhou Qiongyu. He knew that she was selfish but he didn't expect how terrible her selfishness was.

"Did you know that Granny Murong is a relative of Grandma?"

Zhou Qiongyu felt even more disgusted when she knew that they were Murong Feiyue's relatives. She hated those so-called relatives who were like blood-sucking leeches.

Looking at Su Rutang's face, Zhou Qiongyu felt even more aggrieved. She wondered why her mother didn't feel sorry for her, since she was just a dead woman.

Zhang Caijia said hurriedly:

"The old slaves have already told the eldest girl."

Su Rutang glanced at him indifferently, and Zhang Caijia knew in his heart that he was overstepping his authority.

He lowered his head and said nothing.

"Sister Yu, go ahead."

Zhou Qiongyu said after careful consideration: "I didn't know it originally, but our Zhou Mansion is not the same as before. The food, clothing and daily expenses are too extravagant. Do we have to use my mother's dowry again?"

Zhou Qiongyu felt even more aggrieved.

It seemed as if everything she did was for Su Rutang.

"I know you are filial, but you can't behave as casually as before. First of all, the eldest grandmother lives by her chastity, and her family is more respectable than others."

The maids below all nodded.

Zhou Qiongyu didn't expect Murong Feiyue to hide it so well.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion also mentioned Murong Feiyue with respect, as if she could not be blasphemed by anyone.

"Haven't you seen that several uncles of the Murong family are working in our shop and farm?

Those shops were originally meant to be your dowry, but even though they are in good locations, their business has always been bad."

Su Rutang shook his head slightly.

"It's strange. Shops in much worse locations than this one can make money."

Zhou Qiongyu had an idea in mind.

He spoke calmly:

"Mother, which shops are they? I'm just here to learn. If I don't understand something, I can ask Lai Wang's."

Su Rutang asked Chunxi to tell her about those shops and farms.

The person who manages the shop is Murong Feiyue's cousin Jiang Shun.

Jiang Shun is a sinister person.

Do whatever it takes to do business.

He did many shameful things for Murong Feiyue.

Chunxi used the excuse of taking Zhou Qiongyu to look at the account book and went out with her to the study next door.

After they leave.

Several old women looked bitter.

Zhang Cai's family was worried, "Second Madam, we are so scared."

Su Rutang leaned lazily on the chair and smiled lightly when he heard this: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"The eldest lady does whatever she wants. Let's not talk about the distant past. That damned Murong woman made us feel dissatisfied. We had such a good relationship before..."

"Well, what good relationship can there be between just the few of you?"

Su Rutang raised his eyelids nonchalantly, "When Murong was in trouble, you guys stepped on her a lot. It's disgusting to say something like handkerchief friendship now."

The old women dared not breathe a word.

"I will transfer fifteen taels of silver from my personal account to pay for Murong's funeral. In addition, since your snacks are gone, I will add an extra one hundred yuan in living allowance every month."

"The maid is given sixty yuan a month as a living allowance."

She picked up the paper on the table and thought for a moment.

He picked up a pen and wrote a few lines.

Where there is punishment, there must be reward, and by the way, the rules of punishment should be changed.

Su Rutang read them one by one to the old women.

"Do you have any objections to this?"

Several housekeepers looked at each other.

Compared to a cup of tea and a piece of cake in the afternoon, they prefer a hundred yuan a month. It is very practical to hold it in your hands, and you can buy some flowered cloth to make a few clothes for your family members throughout the year.

"No problem, thank you, Second Grandma."

Several old women kowtowed with joy.

Zhang Cai's family stayed until the end, "Second Madam, the master of Lanxiang Courtyard asks for gold and silver every day, or wants silk and satin to be sent to her."

...?

"Didn't you tell her that she gets five taels of silver a month?"

"I have said so, but this lady said that she is a daughter of a noble Duke's mansion and married into the Zhou Mansion. Not to mention five taels of silver a month, even fifty taels of silver would not be enough to spend."

Su Rutang raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.

She could imagine that the current Song Huaiyan was different from the arrogant and domineering Song Huaiyan in her previous life.

That person was the one who broke a coin into two halves.

Two people with completely different personalities, but with the same appearance.

Su Rutang fell into deep thought for a moment.

"You are here? Are you hiding from me?" A flamboyant and wanton voice came from the door.

Song Huaiyan lifted the curtain and came in.

The maid Cuiguo followed behind.

Song Huaiyan sat directly on a chair beside him, with his left leg resting on his right leg and shaking. He leaned lazily in the chair and asked, "Hey, I heard that you married Zhou Chengru for the second time?"

"Aren't you old antiques supposed to never remarry?"

"Why don't you learn from that old Baicha sister-in-law?"

The maids in the room were as silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound. This Concubine Song was too unruly.

Su Rutang smiled faintly:

"Mrs. Song has forgotten all the rules and etiquette. It doesn't matter if you forget the rules for a while, but if you are too quick with words, I'm afraid you will be hated by others."

"If one day, we meet someone with a bad temper, Concubine Song will suffer."

Song Huaiyan hates being preached to the most.

"You threatened me."

"It's not a threat, just a reminder."

"Men shake when they are poor, women shake when they are cheap. Aunt Song wants everyone to remember that your mother came from a red-light district. Can't you write the word rules?

It is a small matter to offend the Duke's Mansion by not knowing the rules, but the reputation of my Su family cannot be ruined. I am your mistress, so I will naturally send someone to teach Concubine Song the rules. "

After saying that, Su Rutang stood up and left.

Song Huaiyan didn't expect that Su Rutang, the stingy man, would run away after scolding her.

He didn't even leave a silver ingot behind before running away.

Too stingy.

She was the daughter of a bastard, and her dowry seemed to be more than a dozen boxes, filled with worthless spittoons, quilts and some clothes.

It's not easy for her to make money here.

No.

She must persuade Su Rutang to give her money.

Murong Feiyue smashed several worthless teacups in the house.

"How dare Su Rutang use Sister Yu to establish his authority?"

This woman is so vicious and shameless. If people outside knew that Sister Yu can't manage the household and is harsh on the servants.

How to kiss in the future?

Her eyes were filled with resentment, anger, jealousy, and a lingering hatred...

The man she held in her heart actually knelt down for three days to ask Su Rutang to marry him.

How could she not hate him?

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Murong Feiyue's pale face.

She opened her mouth silently: Su Rutang. Knowing that you were going to take my child away, I asked for his life in advance...
