Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Hongying was stunned for a few seconds and her mind went blank for a moment.

After all, she was not that stupid, and at this moment, she finally reacted.

Shen Shuyi is settling accounts with her!

Pay her for the things she once took!

At this moment, Hongying felt a fear from the bottom of her heart, and felt that she had never seen through the Second Young Lady in front of her, who was still young and whom she had never taken seriously!

Hongying's eyes were red, and she spoke with a trembling voice: "Second Miss, I don't have much money. Just tell me how much you need, and I will definitely take it!"

Yu Ping frowned and scolded in dissatisfaction: "Young lady is not well yet, but she came to see you. How can you be so ungrateful? It's as if young lady wants your money. If you don't need young lady's intercession, then you can only wish for the best. Young lady doesn't have to take the risk to ask Guining County Lord for help!"

After hearing this, although Hongying was unwilling, she did not dare to gamble with her life.

"Sister Yuping misunderstood, but I really..."

Shen Shuyi didn't want to listen to her excuses, so she interrupted, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, you are just a maid. Even if there is something wrong with the pagoda in the future, it will not necessarily implicate you. Your life is safe now. If you are really held accountable and have your hands and feet cut off in the future, you can only blame your bad luck..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongying fell to the ground. Seeing that Shen Shuyi was about to get up and leave, she crawled forward using her hands and feet and grabbed the hem of Shen Shuyi's skirt tightly.

"Second Miss, I have money! Just tell me how much you want, I have money, and I will try my best to get it together."

Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes and looked at her, his voice was clear and cold: "Six hundred taels."

Hongying froze, looking at Shen Shuyi in disbelief: "Six...six hundred taels?"

Shen Shuyi said calmly: "Think about it yourself."

After saying that, Shen Shuyi turned and left, leaving Hongying sitting on the ground in despair.

After returning to the room, Yuping made a pot of tea for Shen Shuyi and couldn't help asking, "Miss, can Hongying afford so much silver?"

In the afternoon, she roughly calculated the things that Hongying had stolen. The jewelry was worth about 500 taels. Adding the monthly salary she had received for free in the past few years and the savings she had taken on food, clothing and daily expenses, it was exactly 600 taels.

It’s just that Hongying is greedy for enjoyment and loves beauty. More than four years have passed, and it’s probably difficult for her to get enough money now.

Shen Shuyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Have you forgotten what day it is in two days."

Yu Ping was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted: "It's the day when Aunt Zhang uses the monthly salary and allowance!"

Nanny Zhang was a capable nanny serving stepmother Qin Xuerong. Many of the sufferings that Shen Shuyi had endured in his previous life were instigated by Nanny Zhang.

Of course, she has another identity, that is, Hongying's aunt. That is why Hongying, a maid, dares to be so arrogant.

Even if Hongying doesn’t have one, Nanny Zhang will always have one.

Shen Shuyi leaned on the couch, looking at the moonlight outside the window, in a good mood.

It shouldn't be so troublesome to deal with a maid, but she wanted not only Hongying to pay the price, but also the silver in her hand.

After all, whether in the Buddhist temple or back in the Shen Mansion, without money, you can't move forward.

Yuping thought for a moment and asked softly, "Miss, will Princess Guining really want to kill Hongying again?"

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "For such a superior, the life of a maid is just a matter of thought. However, since I have a way to make the princess show mercy, I naturally have a way to make her vent her anger on Hongying again."

If Hongying doesn't know what's going on, she always has a backup plan.

What's more, she was so frightened today that even if she was unwilling, she didn't dare to gamble with her life.

For two days in a row, Hongying not only sold all her valuable belongings, but also went around borrowing money with a swollen face, looking so miserable.

It's just that she has always been used to spending money lavishly, and in recent years, without the constraints of her master, she has lived an even more carefree life.

After collecting for a long time, they only managed to collect 350 taels of silver.

Even so, Yuping still gasped when she heard it.

After all, Hongying was just a maid, and more than three hundred taels of silver was by no means a small amount.

Just after noon, Nanny Zhang arrived in a majestic manner with two maids and a boy.

As soon as she showed up, she went to find Hongying first.

Originally, every time she looked for Hongying, it was to find out about Shen Shuyi's recent situation, but this time when she saw her, Nanny Zhang was shocked.

"Hongying, what's wrong with your face? The Second Miss is here to punish you!"

Inside the room, Aunt Zhang's voice rose a few notches, filled with anger and shock.

Hongying had been suppressing her tears for a long time, and they suddenly fell down.

"Aunt! You must help me!" Hongying knelt on the ground and grabbed Aunt Zhang's clothes.

She worked as a servant in the Shen family. It was all thanks to the support of her aunt that she was able to catch the lady's eye and serve her.

However, the senior maids were also very competitive. A few years ago, she made a mistake due to carelessness, so her aunt found a way to send her to the Buddhist temple to keep an eye on the second young lady.

There is both profit to be made and leisure time.

But I didn't expect that something like this would happen in the end!

"Tell me slowly what happened." Nanny Zhang said in a deep voice.

Hongying cried and recounted what had happened, and Aunt Zhang's face darkened.

"Is it really so? The Second Young Miss is usually the easiest to control, so why did she suddenly change her personality?" Madam Zhang spoke in a low voice as she sat at the table.

"It's absolutely true! How dare Hongying lie." Hongying's tears kept falling: "Aunt, it's obvious that the second young lady was plotting against me. I'm really unwilling to give the money to her like this. Can you go to the lady and plead for me..."

Before Hongying could finish her words, Nanny Zhang interrupted her: "No."

"Madam will never offend the princess for a servant like you. On the contrary, if this matter gets to Madam's ears, she will definitely beat you to death to give the princess an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Hongying fell to the ground again, and the last bit of hope in her eyes disappeared.

Nanny Zhang said again: "If Shen Shuyi can speak in front of the princess, this matter can be settled in the Buddhist temple. Give her the silver first, and then think of other ways to make her spit it out. After all, she has no one to rely on, so there is no need to worry about what to do."

"The most important thing is to get this matter over with before the princess leaves."

Hongying finally stopped thinking and said with red eyes: "Aunt, can you lend me 250 taels of silver for working capital first? I still have 200 taels in the bank, you can withdraw it when you return to Beijing, and I will pay you back the other 50 taels slowly..."

Aunt Zhang looked at her distressedly: "You are still talking about this with your aunt."

Hongying threw herself into Aunt Zhang's arms and shed a few tears of grievance: "Second Miss is so cunning, she actually hurt me to this extent!"

A hint of viciousness flashed across Aunt Zhang's eyes: "Don't worry, she can get something on you, so we just need to get something on her as well."

Hongying was stunned for a few seconds: "What does my aunt mean?"

Aunt Zhang patted her hands and said, "You go first. Your aunt will take care of the rest for you..."
