Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Old Madam Jiang was a very considerate person after all, and she delivered the account book the next day.

In order to prevent Shen Nanqiao from thinking too much, he specially sent the most capable Nanny Sun along as well.

He pretended to be helping, but in fact he was monitoring her every move so that he could report back.

Shen Nanqiao had already made plans, so he didn't say much. He just quietly held the pastel teacup, drank tea, and looked at the account book, without speaking for a long time.

Only when he felt he had left people alone enough did he smile as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Look at me, how can I let Mammy stand? Amber, come and sit down."

After what happened a few days ago, Nanny Sun definitely didn't dare to look down on the seemingly delicate Seventh Madam.

Even when sitting, he only dared to let his butt just touch the edge of the chair.

"I'm not very familiar with the staff at Songchangxuan. Madam, why don't you tell me about it?"

She blinked her big eyes, looking like she was humbly seeking advice.

Nanny Sun felt a little relieved.

"Madam Seven, we have four servants and four maids at Songchangxuan, all of whom are honest and reliable. My parents' indentures are all in the mansion, so you can rest assured."

In any wealthy and powerful family, the servants in their mansions often come from various backgrounds.

There were official slaves awarded by the palace, private slaves purchased by the owner, and the most capable ones were the family-born sons passed down from generation to generation.

The Pingyuan Marquis Mansion has stood in the capital for a hundred years and is considered one of the most aristocratic families, so more than half of the family members are born in the family.

Although few of these people are frivolous, the indentures of several generations of their families are in the hands of the old lady, so they may not be truly loyal to Ning Su.

"Is the indenture contract in Songchangxuan? I don't know about that." Shen Nanqiao pretended to be innocent, "Please help me find it, so that if the servants make any mistakes in the future, I can also handle it."

Nanny Sun was secretly shocked.

Logically speaking, what Shen Nanqiao said was not wrong. She did not overstep the line and interfere in the family affairs of other families. She kept her own territory, Song Changxuan, in order and no one could criticize her.

But she wanted to sell her indenture right away, which was tantamount to catching all the people that the Marquis' wife had planted in Songchangxuan over the years.

"The indenture may be in the hands of the housekeeper. I will go back and ask about it."

She evaded the question, confident that Shen Nanqiao would not offend her.

Shen Nanqiao was not angry. She just stared at Nanny Sun with a smile on her face until she felt a little scared and then she spoke.

"Mammy usually does more errands with the Marquis's wife, right?"

Nanny Sun had no idea what she was up to, so she could only nod.

"Indeed, since the Madam is the housekeeper most of the time, I have more dealings with her."

"If the Marquis' wife wants to investigate something, the nanny will let her wait, right?" Shen Nanqiao smiled leisurely, "I have to say that the Marquis' wife is really nice. I heard from my husband that if someone from the East Factory dared to be so lazy, their legs would have been broken long ago. After all, we don't need a government office in our backyard, so we should be more lenient with the servants."

With every word she said, Nanny Sun's heart tightened, and by the time she finished speaking, the old nanny was already sweating profusely.

But Shen Nanqiao was not going to let it go.

"Maybe I am just not well-informed. I have never heard that the indenture of a family-born child is in the hands of the housekeeper." She smiled with a hint of ridicule, "So these servants are considered to be loaned to us by the Marquis' Mansion, right?"

Nanny Sun fell to her knees with a thud.

"What are you saying, Madam Qi? It's my fault. The indenture should have been handed over long ago. It was delayed because Master Qi... no, the Governor never had a mistress to take charge of the affairs."

Shen Nanqiao lowered his face when he heard this.

"Isn't that right? If the Seventh Master doesn't marry, then he can't even get the indentures of the servants. What's the logic behind this? My father is from the Ministry of Rites, and I have never learned it. Please teach me, Madam."

Nanny Sun finally understood that Shen Nanqiao was definitely not the naive young lady she had imagined.

On the contrary, she is well aware of the tricks of housework in the inner chamber.

She is the master and has Ning Su's support. If things really get out of hand, she will be the one who will have a hard time explaining herself.

Shen Nanqiao had already made plans in his mind.

First, we need to clean up Songchangxuan, and also give a warning to those families who have ulterior motives.

She had known for a long time that the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion had been relying on Ning Su's power overtly or covertly over the past two years, and even the prominent servants had been stripped of their official titles and entered the government as officials.

Therefore, they will definitely not let go of Ning Su, their important figure. Anyone who is assigned to follow in Song Changxuan will not be an easy target.

In his previous life, Shen Nanqiao already knew the details of these people. If he wanted to control them now, selling them indentures was the best way.

Nanny Sun knew she couldn't escape today, so she had to bite the bullet and say it.

"It was the old servant's fault."

Just apologizing without following up is like playing Tai Chi.

Shen Nanqiao smiled but did not answer. He took out a pair of shoe uppers from the sewing basket beside him and began to trace them carefully.

Nanny Sun knelt there, cold sweat oozing out of her body.

If she didn't hand over the indenture today, she would not be able to leave the house, and she would be dead when Ning Su came back from court.

But if I take out the indenture contract, I will definitely not be able to report to the Marquis's wife. She has spent a lot of time and effort to train these people.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The blue brick floor was hard and cold, and there was no cushion or anything like that. Kneeling on it just made my knees ache.

A cup of tea passed in a flash, and Nanny Sun could no longer kneel, but Shen Nanqiao still had no intention of speaking.

Another cup of tea passed. Nanny Sun was a favorite of the old lady and also served as the housekeeper for the marquis' wife. How could she have knelt for so long?

Suddenly, some blood rushed up and he fell straight to the ground.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at it casually.

"I think Mammy is tired. Amber, make her a cup of tea. Make sure it's strong to refresh her."

Nanny Sun's face turned pale. She carefully looked at Shen Nanqiao's expression and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face.

Seeing that the court would be over in half an hour, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and made up her mind.

"Today I will deliver the indentures of those house-born children."

"Half a cup of tea." Shen Nanqiao didn't even raise his head. "If I hadn't seen the indenture within half a cup of tea, I'm afraid the fact that Madam embezzled the public funds from the old lady's room would have been hidden."

Nanny Liu was shocked when she heard this.

Shen Nanqiao suppressed his smile.

"I heard that the nanny has an only son who has not made much progress in the farm and has a lot of gambling debts. The old lady has always been strict in managing the family, and the marquis is at a critical moment for promotion. If they knew that the nanny took advantage of the opportunity to work for the old lady to enrich herself, what do you think would happen?"

Nanny Sun's legs were shaking like sieves.

She kept this matter secret so thoroughly that even the wife of Marquis Pingyuan didn't know about it. How could Shen Nanqiao, a girl who grew up in seclusion, know about it?

"Madam, you know best how the Ning Mansion treats servants who steal for personal gain. It's not clear whether he can withstand a beating at his age. Without your protection, can your useless son still live a leisurely life like he does now?"

Nanny Sun clenched her back teeth, knowing that she was doomed today.

"I'll bring you the indenture contract right away." He said as he was about to stand up.

But then Shen Nanqiao chuckled.

"Just now, I only needed to sell my body indenture, but Mammy, you have delayed me for so long, you should compensate me a little, right?" She put down the upper of her shoe slowly, "Please bring all the favors I have received in this mansion over the past ten years, Mammy."

Nanny Sun almost couldn't catch her breath.

This is an indispensable magic weapon for the mistress of the house. Lady Pingyuan Hou has been able to build her own network of relationships over the years thanks to these personal connections.

If Shen Nanqiao gets this order, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.

Just as I was hesitating, I heard Shen Nanqiao say again.

"Madam, you also know that there is nothing that the East Factory cannot find out. Think about it. Should I trouble Master Qi, or should you save me the trouble?"

Nanny Sun's face was pale and she was gritting her teeth.

"I will do it, so there is no need to trouble you, Lord."

She stood up, rubbed her knees, and limped out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back.

"There is one more thing I need to tell Madam Seven. Songchang Pavilion originally had two second-class maids with broken faces. Please tell me how to deal with them."

Shen Nanqiao's heart sank.

Since his face has been opened, it means he has been used, but given Ning Su's identity, how could that be possible?

However, Nanny Sun didn't want to lie to her because the lie could be exposed in an instant.

"Bring someone here so I can take a look."

Shen Nanqiao: Is this the legendary saying that poor students have more stationery?

A certain governor: What?

Shen Nanqiao [mocking face]: The worse the situation is, the more likely you will arrange for a concubine to sleep with you.
