Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "Thank you."

After Nanny Wang left, Shen Shuyi measured the size, walked to the jewelry brought by the maids, and looked at it carefully.

The jewelry was generally acceptable, but inevitably most of them were flashy and superficial. Of course, with so many eyes watching, Qin Xuerong didn't dare to bring all the shoddy items, so she managed to pick out a few pretty good pieces of jewelry.

Not long after, Nanny Wang hurried back and said in a gentle voice, "Second Miss, Madam owes you what she said, so of course she has to listen to your opinion."

"The regular order for three pieces of clothing per month in the mansion is different, and it roughly costs ten taels of silver per month. If you have no objection, I will calculate it for you according to this amount." Nanny Wang said with a smile.

Without calculating, Shen Shuyi knew that Qin Xuerong had lost less silver.

Two taels of silver is the most common expense for clothing, but there are many festival banquets and banquets in palaces and mansions near the end of the year, so the clothes naturally have to be more gorgeous and fashionable, and the expenses are inevitably higher.

However, when Shen Shuyi raised this point, he had already expected this and had no objection to it.

"Miss, please calculate. The monthly salary for the past few years plus the money for clothing is a total of 760 taels. Is there any mistake?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on Nanny Wang, and she said in a gentle voice: "Nanny's calculation is certainly not wrong, but Yuping's monthly salary and clothes have been deducted in the past few years. I don't know..."

The smile on Nanny Wang's face froze a little, obviously she didn't expect this to happen.

"Let me go back and report to the Madam."

Nanny Wang had no choice but to go back to Ruixueyuan again. Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold. There was nothing she could do as she was poor now.

All the things and dowry her mother left her are now in Qin Xuerong's hands.

How can I survive in this huge Shen Mansion without money?

*

Inside the Ruixue Courtyard.

Qin Xuerong laughed out of anger after hearing what Nanny Wang said: "She really dares to speak like that! She is relying on the old lady's support and doesn't take me seriously at all!"

Nanny Wang also echoed, "Who said it wasn't true? How could a lowly maid be worthy of Madam's concern?"

Qin Xuerong thought about her own plan, breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a while: "Give it to her. Since she is right, I can't be the bad guy!"

"Madam, do you really want to let her get away with it like this?" Cuizhu couldn't help but ask.

Qin Xuerong sneered and said, "Of course, my money is not that easy to take. Huamei, I asked you to keep an eye on Shu Hanyuan before. How is it going now?"

Huamei said quickly: "The eldest young master has not been active recently, and he probably doesn't know about the second young lady's return. In the past half month, the eldest young master has never stepped out of the door. I think his illness must have worsened..."

Qin Xuerong narrowed her eyes: "Seriously ill? The timing of his serious illness is just right."

Huamei asked tentatively: "Madam, what you mean is..."

Qin Xuerong lowered her eyes and said softly, "It would be better if he was more seriously ill."

Huamei took a moment to react, then said, "I understand."

"Go ahead, I'll make my own arrangements." Qin Xuerong spoke slowly, her eyes full of calculation.

Shen Shuyi, your biological elder brother whom you haven't seen for more than four years is seriously ill. As a person with such affection and righteousness, you will always go to visit him!

Shen Shuyi received a total of more than nine hundred taels of silver. She gave all of it to Yuping, but she was short of money now, so she didn't give more.

For the rest, she took out two hundred taels and gave them to Yuping, and used one hundred taels to make a few sets of clothes for several maids and Nanny Fang, and to buy two pieces of jewelry.

The other one hundred taels were exchanged for small change and given to the four maids to use for daily living.

As for the rest, let her find an opportunity to leave the house and hand it all over to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li cannot work outside without money.

So Shen Shuyi's money came quickly and went away even faster.

Just as Shen Shuyi had made all the arrangements, a charming voice rang out from outside the door: "Please inform them for me. I'm here to visit my sister."

Then, Feicui came in from outside: "Second Miss, Third Miss wants to see you."

Shen Shuyi curled up the corners of his lips, and the smile on his face deepened: "Please."

Not long after, Shen Jingzhen ran in briskly wearing a pink long dress with pink hibiscus cloud pattern inlaid with pearls.

The girl had a pretty face, and she wore a golden eight-treasure exquisite headpiece on her head. A kingfisher-decorated hairpin with a flying bird holding a pearl was inserted diagonally into her temple. When she ran, the hanging tassels and the pendants on her ears tinkled.

"Second sister~! I heard that mother gave you a lot of good things as compensation, so I came here specially to open your eyes."

The person had not arrived yet, but the words came first, and then someone held Shen Shuyi's arm.

Shen Jingzhen has a sweet voice, intimate manners, and a somewhat coquettish and bright face, which makes people feel very lively and it is really hard to get tired of her.

That’s right, in her previous life, Shen Shuyi had never liked Qin Xuerong. Even though Qin Xuerong pretended to be hypocritical, she always kept her distance and was difficult to get close to.

But for Shen Jingzhen, she did protect her sincerely.

However, this seemingly cute and bright girl is far from being as innocent and harmless as she appears. Perhaps it is because everything comes too easily for her, which makes her have a kind of naivety and viciousness that is almost cruel!

"My mother did give me some things as gifts, but I didn't have time to collect them. Third sister, please see if there is anything you like. If you don't mind, you can take two back." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.

"Second sister is so generous, I won't be polite then~"

After saying that, Shen Jingzhen let go of Shen Shuyi, ran to several jewelry trays, blinked her curious eyes, and looked through them carefully.

Shen Shuyi stood there with a smile on her face, her almond-shaped eyes deep and secluded.

In her previous life, Shen Jingzhen took the initiative to show her kindness countless times, despite her alienation and coldness.

And she, who had never seen the evil in human hearts, was moved by her, thinking that Shen Jingzhen was raised to be simple and innocent, and was somewhat sincere towards her.

Until later, Shen Jingzhen fell in love with a man, but she found out that this man was not a good match. Not only did he like to hit women, but he also had some unspeakable quirks.

For this reason, she tried to persuade Shen Jingzhen several times but to no avail, so she found her father and Qin Xuerong and tried to stop the marriage.

But unexpectedly, the marriage was called off and Shen Jingzhen hated her because of it.

Shen Jingzhen picked up a ruby ​​pomegranate hairpin, her eyes rolled around, and she turned to look at her Shen Jingzhen with a bit of cunning: "Is this one okay?"

Shen Shuyi said gently: "Of course."

Shen Jingzhen asked with a bit of mischief, "Are you really willing to give it up, Second Sister?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "We are sisters, so we won't be sad."

Shen Jingzhen was stunned for a few seconds, then she put the nice hairpin back and said, "Forget it, forget it. My second sister just came back and she doesn't have many good things. I'll just take this one."

As she spoke, she casually picked up an inconspicuous jade hairpin in the corner. Neither the color nor the style was very good.

"If you like it, just take it." Shen Shuyi chuckled, her almond eyes clear and sincere.

After two lifetimes as a human being, she has only realized one truth: people who have bad relationships will be struck by lightning!

Whether it was Shen Jingzhen or Xiao Mingyu later, they chose their own "good marriages", how could she be so cruel to destroy them?
