Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Yin and Zhang walked out of Mrs. Zhao's yard.

The two of them were in tandem.

Zhang took a few quick steps forward: "Sister-in-law."

Yin: "Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?"

The two sisters-in-law usually don't have a good relationship, and it can be said that they look down on each other. But because they are both living under someone else's roof, sometimes they have to unite as a team.

Discuss some countermeasures. For example, at this time.

Zhang went straight to the point and said, "My third brother's wife is going to cut the expenses of our two rooms starting today. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Yin said: "I'm afraid there will be difficulties."

"P's difficulties!" Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't I know her, Min Xiuxiu? You can even pick a needle out of P's eyes!"

When Yin heard such dirty words, she couldn't help but frown, but didn't say anything.

Zhang continued, "Don't forget, Wenxuan's wife's huge fortune is now in her hands. Apart from anything else, just from her income, she should be able to make at least 30,000 to 40,000 silver coins a year."

"She didn't spend much of this money on us. I wonder how much she's saved over the past two years! Without our help, how could she have pocketed all this so easily?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Yin was also moved when she heard this.

"It's okay that she secretly helps her mother's family, the Min family, but this is ultimately our Zhao family's money. Sister-in-law, what do you think..."

Not to mention the sisters-in-law openly conspiring to better "distribute" the "Zhao family's" money.

In the afternoon, Madam Zhao took a nap under the pretext of "fainting," and only then did she feel her headache was relieved. Unfortunately, the housekeeper, Zhao Fu, came to reconcile the accounts again.

According to the reduced budget, a total of more than 80 servants and 2 cooks were purchased, spending taels of silver, which made the old lady heartbroken.

That’s not all, tonight is the last night that the Nan family’s guards will be guarding the house.

I have to buy some security stuff tomorrow.

The Nan family's guards are all worth ten. If I buy them myself, I'll have to buy at least twenty... Never mind, ten. I need at least four to keep Xuan'er company, and four in my own courtyard... Never mind that bitch!

There must be at least two at Rouer's place...

Well, just 10.

After calculating the bill, hiring 10 guards would cost at least four or five hundred taels of silver a month! And they couldn't even hire good ones. Old Madam Zhao was so distressed.

So he began to wait eagerly for Nan Xi to return from the general's mansion.

To be precise, she was not waiting for Nan Xi, but for the gift Nan Xi would bring back.

"Old lady, it's bad, it's bad!"

"Why is it bad? Aren't Xuan'er and his wife back yet?" Old Madam Zhao was so angry that she threw the handkerchief in her hand.

The new Madam Li came in breathlessly. She didn't care about Madam Zhao's ugly face and wiped the sweat off her face.

"The master and his wife started arguing at the gate of the mansion. Many people were watching. The master... the master made his wife so angry that she fainted..."

"What? Xuan'er has always been polite, why did he make such a fuss... Did that bitch say something?"

Old Madam Zhao didn't care at all whether Nan Xi fainted or not. She was just worried that this incident would not tarnish Xuan'er's reputation. Her Xuan'er always had a good reputation.

Didn't you see she was very careful? Although she had also been tormenting her daughter-in-law in the past two years, she was a very good-looking woman, so she wasn't worried about her bad reputation getting out.

Nanny Li immediately began to describe it vividly.

It's worth mentioning that although Nanny Li didn't have Nanny Sun's ability to read people's expressions, she was very good at learning to speak. She spoke a few words here and there, and learned everything about it.

I also took the opportunity to share a few comments from people around me.

Old Madam Zhao was so angry that she almost fell backwards.

I'm really impressed by you, Old Six. I asked you to learn to speak, but I didn't ask you to learn it so well.

"So, what about the things that bitch brought back in her carriage?" Old Madam Zhao asked with gritted teeth. If she doesn't come, she can always send the things over, right?!

"In reply to the old lady, Madam Dongxi has already ordered it to be sent to Tingxue Courtyard."

"Have they all been delivered?"

"Yes, Madam. They've all been sent over." Madam Li said without a trace of emotion, adding:

"I heard that after Madam fainted, the two newly brought-in maids ordered the courtyard gate to be closed, saying that Madam needed to recuperate and no one was allowed to disturb her for the next few days!"

"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Old Madam Zhao was trembling with anger.

No matter how chaotic the mansion is, Tingxue Courtyard has become a world of its own.

At dinner, Chef Zhang showed off his cooking skills to Nan Xi. The newbie prepared imperial dried scallops and honey-roasted pork, as well as four other seasonal vegetables and a large bowl of West Lake beef soup. Nan Xi was so full after the meal that she strolled around the yard holding onto the wall.
