Qin Jianjian was a concubine's daughter, and she dared to have such thoughts, which was naturally indulged. It can be seen that the people in the general's mansion have always treated her like this in the two years since she got married.

"This is the reality right before our eyes! Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also trying to trip up my brother and sister-in-law!"

Qin gradually became more righteous and took out his anger about his monthly salary being deducted on Jiang Ningwan.

Aunt Xu noticed Jiang Ningwan's anger from the side, "Don't be angry, Madam. The Second Young Miss is just a little spoiled, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Jiang Ningwan glanced at her with a cold gaze, "Spoilage means lack of discipline."

"Madame Xu, slap your face."

Nanny Xu looked embarrassed. Although Qin Jianjian was a concubine's daughter, she was still the master after all.

How could she, a servant, dare to do that?

Jiang Ningwan winked at Lichun, who immediately produced a fifty-liang silver note and said, "There's a reward if you do it right!"

Seeing the banknote, Madam Xu's eyes lit up. No matter how difficult it was, she couldn't resist the money. She immediately took the banknote and said firmly, "I obey your command!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to hold Qin Jianjian's shoulders.

Qin was gradually stunned, angry and annoyed, "You made so many excuses about renovating the Xuanwei General's Mansion, and you just gave me fifty taels as a reward?"

This is her monthly salary.

This month's salary was also deducted!

Li Chun snorted coldly: "It's our lady's money, you can spend it however you want!"

"If you raise a dog, it will protect its owner, but if you raise an ungrateful wolf, it will bite its owner back!"

Qin gradually struggled, his face flushed with anger. When he was about to speak, Aunt Xu slapped him in the face, making his head buzz.

There was a red slap mark on his face.

Qin Jianjian covered his face and glared at Aunt Xu, "How dare you, a slave, hit me?"

She didn't expect that Aunt Xu would actually dare to do it.

"Madam, I will obey your orders!" Madam Xu said, and slapped him again.

Qin Jianjian struggled at first, but was stunned by the successive slaps and could not break free. He cried in pain.

Li Chun glanced at her coldly, "Madam Xu, haven't you eaten yet?"

After hearing this, Aunt Xu slapped him even harder, one on the left and one on the right.

The crisp sound of applause echoed throughout the Zhenyue Pavilion.

Qin gradually became unable to resist and was beaten to his knees on the ground, with his hair disheveled and his cheeks red and swollen.

The crying voice was filled with resentment: "You have already handed over the housekeeper rights, what qualifications do you have to hit me!"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were cold, "Every time I hear what you said, I'll hit you."

"If you still refuse to obey, I will poison you to mute you, so that you will never be able to speak foul language again!"

The light voice sounded like a muffled thunder in Qin Jianjian's ears. She was so frightened that her body trembled slightly, and she didn't even dare to look Jiang Ningwan in the eye.

But in his heart, he was already cursing Jiang Ningwan's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Sister-in-law Qingheng will definitely support her!

Sooner or later, Jiang Ningwan will be kicked out!

Such a vicious woman is not worthy of being a general's wife!

Qin Jianjian was beaten until his mouth was covered in blood, and only then did Jiang Ningwan ask Aunt Xu to stop.

After being released, Qin Jianjian ran away immediately. With red eyes, he turned around and glared at Jiang Ningwan, "My brother knows he won't let you go!"

After saying that, he ran away wiping his tears in grievance.

Aunt Xu couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said hesitantly: "Madam, I didn't hit you lightly just now. I'm afraid the second young lady will go and complain."

"Let her be." Jiang Ningwan turned around and went back to her room.

Nanny Xu quickly spoke again: "The princess will definitely not blame Madam, but I am afraid that this old servant will inevitably suffer some physical pain..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan paused.

Li Chun couldn't help but frown, "Just say what you want to say!"

Aunt Xu smiled sheepishly and said, "After all, I am working for the Madam. If the Princess blames me, I will bear the responsibility alone! It's just the medical expenses..."

Aunt Xu lowered her head, her eyes rolling around.

Li Chun was shocked, "You!"

Jiang Ningwan interrupted Lichun: "Lichun, take another fifty taels and give it to Madam Xu."

"Yes." Although Li Chun didn't understand, she still did as she was told.

When Aunt Xu received the reward, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. After expressing her gratitude, she left quickly.

Lichun glanced at him with disdain, "How greedy!"

"Even if she really suffered physical pain from the princess's punishment, wouldn't fifty taels be enough for her to buy medicine?"

Jiang Ningwan was not angry, because she had suffered at the hands of Aunt Xu in her previous life.

"Do you know the origins of this Madam Xu? Although she is greedy, the fact that she dared to ask for such a reward from me shows that she is not afraid of being held accountable."

She sat down slowly and played with a string of jade beads.

Li Chun thought for a moment, "I only know that Madam Xu used to serve Prince Yi."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips in a faint smile, "Her mother was once the wet nurse of Prince Yi and the current emperor."

"Madame Xu also has a younger brother who used to be a senior eunuch in the palace. He injured his leg while protecting the emperor and was granted leave to recuperate. He opened the Guangfeng Restaurant."

Hearing this, Li Chun was shocked, "What! Her background is so powerful!"

"Then she should be very rich, why is she so obsessed with money?"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Because desire is insatiable."

"But not many people know about this. After all, after Prince Yi passed away, it was as if Prince Yi's Mansion no longer existed in Kyoto. So after Qin Beihuang was appointed general, Prince Yi's wife immediately changed the plaque of Prince Yi's Mansion to General's Mansion."

"Guangfeng Restaurant is so prosperous, and every powerful person in Kyoto has been there. If Madam Xu spreads any news through Guangfeng Restaurant, within two days, the gossip will destroy a person's reputation."

Nanny Xu was in charge of many expenses in the mansion, including purchasing. In her previous life, she discovered that Nanny Xu had embezzled a lot of money, so she punished her.

Before long, rumors spread from Guangfeng Restaurant about her abusing her power in the general's mansion.

Since then, the ladies of the powerful and influential people in Kyoto have never been kind to her and secretly said that she was bullying Lu Qingheng.

Lu Qingheng is a female general who went to the battlefield to defend her country, so people will naturally be on her side and ignore the truth.

After that, she wanted to find evidence of her grandfather's frame-up, but encountered many difficulties. It was almost impossible to make any progress and it was very exhausting.

After hearing this, Li Chun suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the young lady was willing to give her such a large reward. So there's a reason!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "So if Aunt Xu wants to reward me, you can do so. The fatter the better."

"Naturally, there will be people in this mansion who can't stand it and will attack Madam Xu."

The poorer the general's mansion was, the more eye-catching Nanny Xu's generous reward was.

Lichun nodded.

After understanding the young lady's thoughts, Lichun often rewarded Aunt Xu in public and praised her a lot.

Aunt Xu was honored and rewarded, and she almost felt proud of herself. From then on, she looked down on others.

As for the slapping of Qin Jianjian, Aunt Xu was not punished, but Jiang Ningwan was the one who got into trouble first.

The nights in late autumn are getting colder.

"boom--"

The door was kicked open with great force, and a strong wind rushed in, rustling the pages of the book.

When he looked up, he saw Qin Beihuang coming towards him angrily.

Jiang Ningwan took a look and then looked away, continuing to read the medical book in her hand.

The next moment, a dark shadow loomed over, and Qin Beihuang snatched the book from her hand and threw it to the ground.

He asked bluntly, "How did Qin Jianjian offend you to deserve being beaten like that?"

"She's just a young girl who knows nothing about the world. Would you do such a cruel thing to her?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression was calm and unperturbed.

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Qin Beihuang, "I hit her because she deserved it, and I thought I didn't hit her hard enough."

Seeing her say such vicious words so calmly, Qin Beihuang was shocked. "Jiang Ningwan, when did you become so vicious?"

"How could the Duke's Mansion and General Ling raise a woman like you?"

Jiang Ningwan said firmly, "What's wrong with me? The Duke's Mansion is good, my grandfather is good, and I'm good too."

"Marrying me is a blessing for your general's mansion."

"Shameless!" Qin Beihuang raised his hand in anger.

A slap came over.
