Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 25 The Prime Minister's Early Death

Madam, are you trying to default on your debt?

Mrs. Zhao was furious:

"Bastard!"

"Yesterday I sent Nanny Sun to tell you to copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times. How dare you disobey my orders?"

Nanny Sun's heart suddenly tightened, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

Nan Xi said slowly: "That's not the case." After thinking for a moment, he said:

"It's true that Nanny Sun came to my yard yesterday. But she just scolded me a few words on behalf of my mother-in-law, took away 50 taels of silver, and said that she would speak well of me in front of my mother-in-law, and then left."

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Old Madam Zhao was furious.

Nanny Sun was so frightened that she fell to her knees, crying out that it was unfair!

"I didn't, I don't dare! Madam, please don't accuse me of this with empty words!"

The old face was full of sadness and fear.

Madam Zhao couldn't tell the truth from Nan Xi's words for a moment, and hesitated whether to pursue the matter further. She also knew that the people around her relied on their power and were used to being domineering in the mansion.

It's really possible that he would ask for money in her name.

But at this moment, she was blaming Nan Xi: "Can't I just talk to her privately if I have anything to say? This bitch actually said it in front of the whole family. Isn't that a slap in her face?"

Madam Zhao was the one who cared most about her reputation, and at the moment she felt a little embarrassed.

What made her most angry was that she didn't even see a trace of the 50 taels of silver!

A full 50 taels!

Nan Xi adheres to the principle of "offense is the best defense" and continues to attack:

"If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can have someone search Madam Sun's room."

"That fifty taels must still be there. It still has the seal of my general's mansion on it..."

When Nanny Sun heard this, she collapsed all over, knowing that she was finished.

“What? 50 taels!!”

Zhang, who had just come back from the toilet, blurted out.

Their whole family lived under someone else's roof and could only maintain their dignity by relying on the little money from Old Madam Zhao. The total pocket money of the whole family might not even amount to 50 taels.

Aunt Yin's eyes flashed with greed and she said:

"Sister-in-law, I think we should have someone search. If nothing is found, Madam Sun won't have to bear the name of a thief."

Yin had studied for a few days, and her speech and behavior were much more steady than Zhang's.

In the past few years, she has been living in Nanxi's mansion, leading a wealthy life, and she has even started to speak and act like a lady from a wealthy family.

Zhang nodded vigorously in agreement.

Normally, Nanny Sun relied on the old lady's influence, and they had to look down on her face. Now that they had the chance, of course they would kick her when she was down.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to order people to search.

Soon, the maids brought a box from Nanny Sun's residence. When they opened it, they found five shining silver ingots neatly packed inside.

Everyone could recognize at a glance that this was indeed Nan Xi's dowry.

Because the silver ingot is not the ordinary style circulating in the market, but is in the shape of a crabapple flower in the middle, with the word "汐" at the bottom.

This was the dowry that General Nan had specially commissioned for Nan Xi when she got married. When the dowry was displayed, everyone in the Zhao family was amazed and left a deep impression.

Later, they heard from the servants that this kind of specially made dowry silver was the wealth that only wealthy families could afford, and its production was time-consuming and laborious.

This kind of money is generally not spent unless the husband's family is in poverty and can't afford to eat. It is usually passed down from generation to generation.

Everyone in the Zhao family was jealous, but no one dared to take advantage of it.

Now Nan Xi's dowry money actually fell into the hands of a vulgar old woman, and Old Madam Zhao felt ashamed.

She secretly hated Nanny Sun for being so short-sighted and slapping her in the face.

But Nanny Sun was the dog she raised personally after all, and she couldn't figure out how to step down.

At this moment, Min Rouer spoke:

"Madame Sun, you are so brave!"

"Even if Madam is willing to reward you, you should open your eyes and see. You dare to accept such a precious thing as the dowry!"

Nanny Sun heard the warning in the words and kowtowed to Old Madam Zhao:

"Madam, this money is a reward from you, so I accepted it because I couldn't refuse."

Nan Xi sneered:

"Reward you"?

"What merit have you rendered me? How come I didn't know about it? Why should I reward you for nothing?

"This..." Nanny Sun choked.

She couldn't say: She punished someone by making them copy scriptures, and the person was so happy that he rewarded her with 50 taels of silver, right?

Even if you say it, someone has to believe it.

She simply said shamelessly: "Madam asked me to speak well of you in front of the old lady!"

"Oh?" Nan Xi looked at Old Madam Zhao:

"I thought the old lady was always kind, but I didn't realize what good things Madam Sun said about me."

Old lady: "..."

Grandma Sun: "..."

There was Cricket Nan Xi behind them.

There are a lot of bad words, and no good words at all. I can't even make one up.

so awkward!

After a long while, Madam Zhao sighed and said:

"All right."

"This is Madam Sun's fault for bullying her master. I'll give her twenty lashes and forbid her from receiving medical treatment. After that, I'll send her to the farm west of the city!"

Now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable not to punish her. At worst, I can find an opportunity to transfer this old woman back later.

Min Rouer said:

"Aunt, Madam Sun is old after all. I'm afraid she can't stand the beating."

"Why not just remember it for now and let her contribute to the farm so she can make amends?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun was overjoyed and couldn't help but show gratitude on her face.

She said that Miss Rouer's thighs could still be hugged.

Old Madam Zhao also gave Min Rouer an appreciative look.

I was about to nod in agreement.

Nan Xi's cold voice sounded:

"Auntie Min is really kind-hearted."

"I still find it strange. Nanny Sun is just a servant, but she acts so arrogantly. I don't know whose power she relies on in this mansion."

"It's true that the old lady has always been kind and tolerant. But I remember that when the old lady took the housekeeping power from me, she said that she had always been strict in managing the household." "So, I believe that the old lady would never have allowed such a wicked servant to come out!"

Old Madam Zhao choked again.

Min Rouer: “…”

Why don't you just say my name?

But damn, the secret affair between her and Nanny Sun really can't stand up to scrutiny.

Zhao·Strict Household Management·Old Lady:

"Alright! No one needs to plead for Madam Sun anymore. Drag her out and beat her!"
