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

When Hongying found Shen Shuyi with the silver, Shen Shuyi was reading a book.

"Second Miss, the money... the money has been gathered..."

Hongying spoke cautiously and placed two hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, as well as some scattered gold ingots and small change on the table. Her eyes were red and her heart was bleeding.

Shen Shuyi only took a glance and asked, "Is it time for Aunt Zhang to deliver next month's allowance?"

Hongying said quickly, "Yes, Madam has just arrived. She will go to the front yard to pay the incense money first, and then come to pay her respects to the young lady."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi said nothing more and continued reading.

Hongying stood at the bottom nervously, wanting to say something several times but stopping herself, and finally couldn't help but said: "Miss, can this money really calm Princess Guining's anger..."

Although Hongying felt that most of the money would be kept by Shen Shuyi, since she could get the princess to spare her life with just a few words, Hongying had to give it to him.

Shen Shuyi said calmly, "Of course, the princess values ​​her wet nurse the most. I will use this money to bribe her, and use the rest to pick out a few pieces of jewelry to give to the capable maidservant beside the princess."

After hearing this, Hongying felt a little relieved.

Just at this time, Nanny Zhang came with two maids to pay their respects.

"Greetings to the Second Young Lady." Nanny Zhang bowed and spoke.

Shen Shuyi looked her up and down. Aunt Zhang was a short, fat and round woman, about fifty years old. She had a pair of eyes that were a bit mean and snobbish, and was very difficult to get along with.

In these two lives, Qin Xuerong had entrusted the affairs of the Buddhist temple to her. Reporting her movements, withholding monthly allowances and incense money, and bribing Zhiyuan to make things difficult for her were all done by this nanny.

"Second Miss, please count. This is your monthly allowance, as well as two new sets of clothes and two pieces of jewelry made for you by the mansion."

After saying this, Nanny Zhang asked someone to bring the things forward.

Shen Shuyi was still leaning on the couch without moving. After Yuping took it, she nodded to Shen Shuyi.

Because of Hongying's matter, Nanny Zhang did not deduct the monthly allowance this time. However, as for Yuping and Hongying's monthly allowance, Nanny Zhang simply ignored it.

In addition, no one knew how much jewelry, fabrics and other items the mansion had given, so even if Nanny Zhang embezzled some, no one could make trouble.

"Thank you for the trip, Madam." Shen Shuyi said indifferently.

Nanny Zhang smiled and said, "It is my blessing to serve the Second Young Miss. I heard from Hongying that you were ill a few days ago, and Madam was quite worried. But I see that you look much better than before."

Shen Shuyi nodded: "Are grandma, father, and mother all well?"

"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine. The eldest lady made a name for herself at the poetry meeting in the capital a few days ago and was praised by the wife of Duke Chen. The old lady and the master were very happy and often said that it would be great if you were here."

Nanny Zhang was smiling but had a dagger hidden inside. She looked respectful, but what she said did not take Shen Shuyi seriously at all, and every word she said was meant to hurt Shen Shuyi.

After all, as a lady from the Shangshu Mansion, she could only live a poor life in a Buddhist temple, but Shen Jingyu was surrounded by flowers and was accustomed to prosperity, as if she, a stepdaughter, was more noble than herself, a legitimate lady.

Speaking of her previous life, Shen Shuyi did care a little bit about it. After all, she was living a hard life and was very young at that time.

But now, I really don't like this cheap trick.

"My elder sister is so talented. Even if I were here, I could only sigh that I am not as talented as her. Why should I humiliate myself?" Shen Shuyi smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.

Nanny Zhang looked at Shen Shuyi with a little surprise. She felt that after not seeing her for a while, she was indeed not as easy to control as before.

"I made a pair of shoes for my father and mother, and a pair of knee pads for my grandmother. Please help me bring them back to the mansion."

After saying that, Yuping quickly took out the things.

Nanny Zhang took a look and a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes. The pair of men's shoes were made of simple materials, all black, with a border outlined with silver silk thread, and only a piece of auspicious clouds on the heel. They were really plain.

Not to mention the ladies', which were made of rough material, peach pink in color, and embroidered with hibiscus and lotus patterns, which looked quite tacky.

As for the pair of knee pads, they were dark green in color. The color was acceptable and the material was also passable, but the pattern of the material was too old-fashioned and it no longer became popular in Beijing two years ago.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but Nanny Zhang's face was filled with emotion.

"The Second Miss is truly filial and commendable. If the Master, the Mistress, and the Old Lady knew about this, they would definitely be very pleased."

Nanny Zhang turned around and asked the maid beside her to take the things, and wiped away the tears that did not exist from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you for your help, Madam." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

After Nanny Zhang and Hongying left, Yuping whispered, "Miss, Nanny Zhang will probably not give the things to the master and the old lady at all."

They have sent a lot of things to the mansion over the past few years. Although the materials are not the best, they are already so good that the young lady is reluctant to use them.

But after a few years, there was no response at all. It was obvious that Nanny Zhang did not hand over the things, so why should the young lady bother?

Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips, his almond eyes deep: "Later, take twenty taels of silver and go find the pink-dressed maid next to Aunt Zhang, and tell her that if Aunt Zhang wants to throw these things away or deal with them, ask her to find a way to keep them."

Yuping took a while to react and carefully recalled the two maids around Nanny Zhang.

The one in pink was obviously dressed more gorgeously, with a bean-sized ruby ​​hairpin on her head that was very eye-catching.

Seeing through her thoughts, Shen Shuyi said gently, "People like this are often more greedy and bolder. Let her keep the things. If they are still there when I need them, I will give her an extra twenty taels of silver."

"Yes."

In the afternoon, Yuping went out first, deposited the silver into the money shop, left some silver bills and small change, and then went to do the task assigned by Shen Shuyi.

On the other side, Nanny Zhang was still comforting Hongying.

Hongying wiped her tears and cried, "Aunt, you have also seen it. Is the Second Miss different now than before?"

"We underestimated her, but that's all she has."

"Aunt, I am penniless now. How am I going to live in the future?"

Nanny Zhang frowned, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You said before that Zhiyuan has always been thinking about Yuping?"

Hongying nodded: "Yes."

"Come closer and listen." Nanny Zhang waved her hand and whispered something in Hongying's ear.

At that moment, Hongying's eyes lit up: "Aunt, what you mean is that as long as Yuping falls into Zhiyuan's hands, the Second Miss will not dare to use the matter of the pagoda to control me even for her maid?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "You are smart. Since she has the leverage over you, as long as you also have the leverage over her, both of you will be fine. But you can't rush the issue of the silver. As long as Zhiyuan's wishes come true, even if you can't get the silver back from the Second Miss, you can always get it back from Yuping."
