The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Qin Wan did need help, at least a few people to run errands, so she just nodded and did not punish the two.

"Get up, I have something to tell you."

Cai Huan and Cai Ping stood up, "Madam, what do you want?"

Qin Wan thought for a moment and said, "I need a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Go get them for me."

Cai Huan glanced at Qin Wan and stammered, "Madam, where can we get it?"

Qin Wan didn't know the rules of the mansion, so she asked curiously, "Don't the young masters in the mansion have pens, ink, paper, and inkstones? Where do they get them?"

Cai Huan explained, "Madam, you are a female relative, and there is no share of ink in the palace. If you need it, I can go to the street and buy it for you."

Qin Wan understood that if she wanted paper, she would have to pay for it herself.

“So how much will I get per month?”

Qin Wan had no dowry and she also attached great importance to the monthly allowance, so she had to ask about these things clearly.

Cai Huan shook her head again, "Madam, you are the first Madam of the Marquis's Mansion. There was no precedent in the past, and we don't know. The eldest son can receive 20 taels of silver every month."

Caihuan didn't say that the young masters in the mansion received more monthly salary than the female members of the family.

Little maids like them only received two taels of salary every month.

Qin Wan waved her hand and said, "Go to the warehouse and get the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that belonged to Zhao Zhen, and bring them back to me."

Cai Huan: “........”

Cai Huan didn't expect the eldest young lady to say that, but she didn't refute it, "Yes, eldest young lady."

"Okay, go and come back soon."

Qin Wan was just giving it a try. If she could use Zhao Zhen's share of the profits, she could save some money.

After Cai Huan left, Qin Wan looked at Cai Ping again, "Go to the big kitchen and bring me some burnt black charcoal."

"Yes, Madam Young Master, I will go right away."

The two maids were now quite skillful because of the mistakes they had made before.

Qin Wan returned to her room alone and lay down on the bed. She got up too early this morning and she wanted to make up for her sleep.

Qin Wan was sleeping soundly, unaware that someone was watching her every move.

After Song Zhirou knew that Zhao Zhen had gone to the military camp early in the morning, she stopped pretending to be sick.

Zhao Zhen went to the military camp and didn't come back for more than half a month.

She doesn't want to stay in the house all the time.

So after packing everything up, he turned around and went to Chunhui Hall to pay his respects to the Marquis's wife.

Song Zhirou's favor in the mansion all came from her aunt, the Marquis's wife, so she was still very respectful to her.

At this time, the second and third wives were both with the marquis' wife, and the three of them were chatting.

When Song Zhirou came in after lifting the curtain, she saw people from the second and third rooms. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Zhirou greets Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt!"

Madam Hou immediately waved to Song Zhirou, "Rou'er, come here quickly. You can get out of bed now. You must be feeling better now!"

Song Zhirou walked towards Madam Hou and sat next to her. "Aunt, I'm much better now, so I came to see you."

The Second Lady paused as she brought the cup of tea, but she said nothing.

She looked down upon Song Zhirou's behavior.

The Second Lady looked down on Song Zhirou because she had been staying in the Marquis' Mansion all year round and eyeing the position of the Crown Prince's Consort.

In addition, Song Zhirou, a girl from a different family, was treated better than the young lady from the Zhao family.

Even if the first wife doesn't have a daughter, the second and third wives do have one. Both her daughter Qing'er and the third wife's daughter Ya'er are more noble than her.

"Girl Rou recovered really quickly. I remember that on the day of Dalang's wedding, he didn't even enter the bridal chamber. Instead, he stayed with Girl Rou all night. I thought Girl Rou would need to rest for a few days!"

The second wife didn't say anything, but the third wife did.

The third lady also looked down on Song Zhirou. She was a maid from another family, but not only did she live in the best courtyard, she also had eight maids and servants. She was the lady of the third room, but she only had four people serving her. How could she reason with them?

Although the Third Lady didn't like Qin Wan, she hated Song Zhirou even more.

When Zhao Zhen got married this time, the third wife was gloating behind the scenes for a long time.

The smile on Song Zhirou's face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself, "Aunt San, this is an old problem of mine. I used to have it all the time, but I didn't expect it to mess up my cousin's marriage. I will go and apologize to my cousin's wife in person someday."

The third wife curled her lips and complained in her heart: This girl is vicious, she saw it before. You ruined her wedding night and you still go to apologize?

Pooh!

This is not an apology at all, it's clearly showing off.

Thinking of Qin Wan's sharp tongue, the third lady became excited again.

Neither of them is a good person, it’s better for them to fight, haha.

The Third Madam said with a smile: "Well, as long as Miss Rou goes to apologize, if Qin is a generous person, she will surely forgive you. After all, you didn't mean it, haha!"

Second Madam: “….”

The second wife was speechless when she saw the third brother's wife's blatant provocation.

She didn't want to get involved, so she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Madam Hou also wanted to have some private conversation with her niece, "Okay, then the second and third sister-in-laws can go back first!"

The Third Lady: “….”

The third lady felt unsatisfied before she could finish her sarcasm and was driven away.

Although he was not very happy, he could only stand up and say goodbye with the second wife.

Only Madam Hou and Song Zhirou were left in the room.

Song Zhirou felt aggrieved at this time, "Aunt, are you blaming me for ruining my cousin's wedding?"

On the wedding day, Zhao Zhen did not return to the bridal chamber, but instead stayed with Song Zhirou all night, which was considered an embarrassment to the original owner.

This one incident alone is enough for others to talk about Qin Wan for the rest of her life.

This clearly tells the world that the bride is not favored in her husband's family, and the groom treats her like a worn-out shoe.

The marquis's wife asked herself, if it were her, she would be able to kill the little bitch who dared to steal her husband on their wedding night.

However, it was her niece who did this.

Mrs. Hou did not answer Song Zhirou for a moment.

Song Zhirou was slightly surprised: my aunt didn't agree with me at first.

Tears immediately filled her eyes. "Aunt, are you blaming me too?"

When the Marquis's wife saw her niece, whom she had raised since childhood, in this state, she immediately felt distressed. The balance, which had been tilted a little, now tilted towards Song Zhirou.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped Song Zhirou's tears. "Rou'er, how could it be possible? How could your aunt blame you? How could she bear to blame you? You grew up by my side, just like my daughter."

Song Zhirou threw herself into Madam Hou's arms and began to cry, "Aunt, I know you treat me the best, better than my mother."

The Marquis's wife was very happy and she liked to hear this.

Song Zhirou knew Mrs. Hou very well and knew what she liked to hear. When she was young, she remembered her aunt quietly asking her whether she liked her mother or her.

At that time, as long as she answered that she liked her aunt more, she would get a lot of benefits.
