Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Nanny Sun's face turned pale. She never thought that Madam Zhao could be so cruel to her.

He wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought about how his children and grandchildren would still have to rely on Madam Zhao and Min Rouer in the future, he finally shut his mouth.

When she was dragged away and beaten, both Zhang and Yin looked very pleased.

Old Madam Zhao lost face. Listening to Nanny Sun's pig-slaughtering howls, she felt upset and her forehead started to hurt again. She began to drive people away: "Everyone go away, and Xuan's daughter-in-law will stay for a while!"

Zhang and Yin looked at each other and retreated with their families.

Min Rouer also left. Before leaving, she gave Nan Xi a meaningful look, obviously she had offended Madam Zhao again.

Nan Xi: "Old Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

If you have something to say, say it now. You won’t live for many days.

Madam Zhao said, "Xuan'er has not been feeling well these past few days, don't you know?"

"Although Chunmei was your maid before, it is reasonable for her to serve you. After all, her status is just that of a slave."

"As the wife of the principal wife, you can't just sit back and relax..."

Did she want to personally serve that scumbag Zhao Wenxuan? She wished!

This mother and daughter are disgusting. The old lady always plays the good cop, coaxing, deceiving and chasing the original owner to fall in love with Zhao Wenxuan, and then the scumbag comes and despises her for being his lover.

Of course, if it were the original owner at this moment, she might be happy to treat the old lady's words as an imperial decree and take the opportunity to please the scumbag.

It's a pity that she is not the original owner.

Nan Xi said, "The old lady is right. As the legal wife, why would I want to put someone else by my husband's side?"

"It's just that my body is not in good condition right now... cough, cough. If I get too close to my husband, I'm afraid he might get sick..." As she said this, she coughed violently at Old Madam Zhao.

The old lady was shocked.

Although she knew that Min Rouer had taken action against the bitch, she didn't know the specific means she used. After all, they were both hypocritical, and there were some things that the aunt and niece knew tacitly.

When Nan Xi coughed at her, Madam Zhao suddenly thought: why had she not considered whether Nan Xi's body might be contagious? ——She used to come to pay her respects every day. Wouldn't this cheap woman pass on her illness to her?

But now is not the time to dwell on this. I'll ask Rou'er later. He had to let it go for the time being and moved away from Nan Xi before asking about the matter that concerned him the most.

"The housekeeper came to report early in the morning that many people were missing from various places downstairs. After counting, it was found that they were all brought in earlier. Where have these people gone now?"

"If it's not something extremely important, tell them to hurry back to work and not delay other tasks."

Nan Xi said calmly:

"My daughter-in-law does know. Those people have always been a bit clumsy in their work, and some of them are lazy. They were caught by the guards and reported to me."

"I thought, how can such people serve the master well? It would be a good idea to send them all away."

The old lady choked and wanted to ask why they were so careless and what evidence they had. But these people were brought by Nan Xi, so strictly speaking, she had no control over them.

You can't just say that you won't let others send their own people.

"Then why didn't you send someone to tell me? After all, I'm the old woman in charge of this mansion now. What will happen if things are delayed?"

Nan Xi said calmly: "It's not that I don't care about the old lady when I do things, but it's hard to say what I said."

"Why is it so difficult to say?" Old Madam Zhao insisted.

Nan Xi: "To be honest, all these people's daughters-in-law have been sold"!

"what?"

Madam Zhao stood up in shock:

"How...how did it get sold?" His voice was clearly a little weak.

Oh no, this bitch won't notice anything, right? The old lady came to her senses and recalled that she seemed to have seen a few of the few people.

Just when Madam Zhao was extremely nervous, Nan Xi covered her mouth with a handkerchief:

"I shouldn't have said this. But since the old lady asked, I can't hide it any longer."

"You say!" Old Madam Zhao stared at Nan Xi's face.

"Ahem... well, it's like this. To be honest, Madam, my daughter-in-law has been running out of money lately, so she thought of selling these shady things. It would at least bring in some income."

"What, you...you..."

Madam Zhao felt guilty and angry, but of course she was more disbelieving. She was just about to retort, "How can a legitimate granddaughter of a general be short of money? You're kidding me!"

Nan Xi seemed to see through her thoughts and interrupted her train of thought:

"It's true that I still have a lot of dowry money, but the old lady also knows that I have spent a lot of money on favors for my husband in the past two years."

"This..." Old Madam Zhao couldn't refute this, after all, it was true.

"But why do you have to sell people?"

"Daughter-in-law Xuan, let me tell you, our Zhao family is a family of scholars. We value benevolence, righteousness, and kindness, but we don't practice selling people out!"

Oh, Good House, that's so funny.

"It's even harder to tell the old lady this." Nan Xi coughed a few more times, trying to hide the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

"Ever since my daughter-in-law's property was handed over to the public, I haven't had any income in the past two years. I haven't even seen the monthly salary."

"Especially... cough, cough... my daughter-in-law has to support so many people. With so much money going out every day, it's natural..."

"This..." Old Mrs. Zhao was speechless.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment.

Although Mrs. Zhao was greedy for money and power, she was not very good at managing the household and was very stingy. Therefore, her housekeeping principle was to keep things in a shady way, and good things like silver should only come in and not go out.

So much so that since she became the housekeeper, not only had she not given the original owner any monthly salary, but she had also been supporting all the people the original owner brought with her with her own money. Even Zhao Wenxuan's daily official expenses were still paid to the original owner.

The original owner was not unaware of these things, but simply didn't need them and never took them to heart. Now Nan Xi would not let these ungrateful people get away with it.

"So, I really have no money on hand. Otherwise, when Nanny Sun asked for the money yesterday, it was only fifty taels, and I wouldn't have used the dowry money that was saved in the bottom of the box."
