I just want to rob you of your luck

"My mother's dowry was lined with everything from the main street to the end of the street. Many of them were gifts from the Queen Mother and the Empress. So it's normal for a concubine's daughter like you not to know what's good."

Lin Ruoshui felt aggrieved by what he said, but she still refuted: "Don't you rely on father's power to bully others in the mansion? Everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion belongs to father. I am also father's daughter, and I should be treated the same as you."

Lin Jiuer looked at her with mockery and pity in her eyes: "Really? Daddy's monthly salary is more than 60 taels, and you as a concubine's daughter get 6 taels per month, and your aunt can probably get 10 taels. After deducting the monthly salary of the servants in the mansion and the entertainment expenses, there is almost nothing left every month.

You two are quite favored by him, and he must have subsidized you a lot in private. How much money do you think he has left for you to squander?"

Lin Ruoshui got even angrier when she heard this: "But why should this meal of yours be equivalent to our monthly allowance?"

Aunt Mei laughed angrily: "My young lady eats these for every meal. If you want to eat them, you can pay for them yourself."

Xing Er said angrily, "That's right, even if our young lady doesn't receive a monthly allowance, she can still afford these."

Lin Ruoshui still refused to accept it: "You must have embezzled Daddy's money while managing the household expenses!"

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Look at what our young lady is wearing. This set of Shu brocade, plus the jewelry, any one of them would cost over a hundred taels. Our young lady has worn so many clothes like this. Even if ten prime ministers embezzled their salaries, they couldn't buy them, okay?"

Xing'er looked at Lin Ruoshui with disdain: "Our young lady's expenses are all deducted from the income of the madam's dowry shop. If you want the same treatment as the young lady, ask Aunt Liu for it!"

Lin Jiuer felt a little relieved because her stepmother transferred the title deeds of the shop and the farm to her name before she died.

At least I wasn't bullied by these mother and daughter.

At this time, Lin Ruoshui's disdainful voice came from Lin Jiuer's mind: "Ask Aunt Liu for it? She has a shitty dowry. She was born in the countryside and sang in a brothel when she was young. How can she have any family background to give her subsidies?"

The more Lin Ruoshui thought about it, the uglier her face became. The vicious villains in time-travel novels shouldn't have such a comfortable life. As the heroine, she was discriminated against and treated coldly everywhere.

Her eyes turned red with anger, and suddenly she saw Nangong Yi standing behind Lin Jiuer, and her pupils shrank.

Lin Jiuer heard Lin Ruoshui's incredible voice in her mind: "The male protagonist? Shouldn't he be locked up in the woodshed, being tortured and waiting for her to rescue him? Why is he here?"

Lin Ruoshui felt her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out what went wrong.

She originally wanted to make a big scene to establish her authority and gain some benefits for herself at the same time.

The result was that he made himself a joke.

She was embarrassed and unwilling to give in, but she also knew that she would gain nothing by continuing to make trouble.

He had no choice but to pretend to be bullied and wronged and looked at Lin Jiuer: "Everyone in this mansion is yours, so naturally what you say is what it is, but I will not yield to you."

As she spoke, she took Aunt Liu's hand and walked out. When she passed by Nangong Yi, her affectionate eyes were filled with tears of grievance.

She bit the corner of her lips lightly, as if she had a thousand words to say.

Lin Jiuer looked at her pretentious appearance and said coldly: "Lin Ruoshui, the dishes you broke will be recorded in your account and will be deducted from your monthly salary in the future."

Lin Ruoshui hadn't finished her performance yet. When she heard this, her face turned pale and blue. After deducting the compensation from her monthly salary, she wouldn't have to receive any monthly salary for the whole year.

She looked at Lin Jiuer angrily: "Don't go too far, I am the second lady of the mansion after all, don't go too far!"

Lin Jiuer smiled nonchalantly: "It is only natural to pay back debts. Don't you always say that everyone is equal? ​​Then you should pay for breaking someone else's things."

"Also, you messed up the kitchen like this. Aren't we all equal? ​​There's no reason to let the cooks clean up for you. Clean up here and then go back."

Lin Ruoshui was speechless and could only glare at Lin Jiuer with resentment.

Lin Jiuer glared back at her, then left with the maids and guards. Nanny Mei stayed behind to supervise the mother and daughter to clean up the kitchen before going back to report.

She was very pleased in her heart that the young lady had finally grown up. She had been blinded by those two shady things before and had been doing evil things all day long.

Aunt Mei saw it and was worried, but after she tried to persuade Lin Jiuer several times, she was scolded back by Lin Jiuer. She was very sad at that time.

After Aunt Liu and Lin Ruoshui returned, they found Prime Minister Lin and complained about Lin Jiuer behind the door. No one knew what they were whispering about, but they were all thinking about how to deal with Lin Jiuer.

When it was time for dinner, Prime Minister Lin sent someone to inform Lin Jiuer to come over for dinner.

Lin Jiuer sneered. She had been eating in her own yard recently and really didn't want to see those three disgusting things.

It seems that after giving them a good beating today, some of them are going to deal with her.

She took Xing'er, Yingtao, Ruofeng and Nangong Yi to the main courtyard to eat. As soon as they entered, they saw that the family of three had already started eating.

There were pressed duck, pork elbow, sweet and sour fish, spicy chicken on the table, and a bowl of bird's nest next to Lin Ruoshui.

The atmosphere inside was joyful and it seemed that Prime Minister Lin had spent a lot of money to appease the mother and daughter.

When Lin Ruoshui saw Lin Jiuer coming in, she raised her eyebrows provocatively, and then drank the bird's nest in an elegant manner.

Prime Minister Lin saw Lin Jiuer's expression and said, "Come and sit down."

Those who don't know would think she is a concubine, which is totally contrary to the truth.

Lin Jiuer opened the heart-reading talisman, wanting to see what the attitudes of the people here were towards her.

My goodness, in this room, except for Xing'er and Ruofeng who have a red spot on their heads, everyone else is gray to varying degrees.

Among them, Prime Minister Lin is gray, while Lin Ruoshui and Aunt Liu have black on their heads. They are full of malice towards her, and can even be said to have murderous intent.

The top of Cherry's head is light grey, which shows that he is malicious towards her as well.

Lin Jiuer deliberately looked at Nangong Yi. The top of his head was gray. Lin Jiuer sighed helplessly. The original owner was really sinful.

This offended the big boss severely.

Prime Minister Lin said directly: "We are all family here. Your sister has suffered a lot since she was a child. You should be more considerate of her. From now on, her food, clothing and other expenses in her courtyard will be based on yours, right?"

Lin Jiuer looked at Lin Ruoshui's smug expression and sneered in her heart.

She looked at Prime Minister Lin: "In that case, will the money come from the public account?"

Prime Minister Lin was stunned with an unpleasant expression. He came from a humble family and was almost penniless when he came to Shengjing. He considered himself a clean person and never valued money.

But he also knew that his salary was barely enough to maintain the dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Previously, his original wife's dowry had supplemented the household expenses, and he had never had to worry about money matters.

I'm afraid there's not much money in the public account now.

Before his first wife died, she transferred all the farms and shops she brought as a dowry to Lin Jiuer's name. This dead girl's monthly income is much more than his salary.

It's strange to say, she was coaxed by Liu's mother and daughter to give away a lot of good things, but she was unwilling to give up the shops and farms under her name.

I have been a miser since I was young. I don’t know who I took after.

After she took back the power of housekeeper, she directly cut down a lot of household expenses, making him tight on money whenever he went out recently.

It's so outrageous.

"Jiu'er, we are all family. If you are better off, you can help with some of the household expenses. Your mother has always done the same."
