Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

After breakfast, Shen Li took Qiluo and Banxia to Yanshou Hall.

In just two days, Miss Shen and the maid she brought with her became famous in the Shen Mansion. The maids and servants in the mansion could only watch from afar and whisper about them.

Banxia curled her lips and her eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

"Miss, I get so angry just looking at them that I want to give them a few beatings. From now on, when I live in the mansion, can I rob them occasionally and capture a few girls to amuse them?"

In the past, when she was on the farm, she and Brother Dayong had robbed the fat young master of the rich family next door.

The fat man was mean and mocked the girl for having a crazy mother. He also threw stones at the girl and the late wife.

She and Brother Dayong took advantage of the time when Fatty went out to gamble and had the gambling house clerk trick him into the backyard, covered him with a sack and carried him out.

The fat guy was so scared that he peed in a sack. Brother Dayong thought it was too sexy and kicked him several times.

The two of them covered the fat man's face with a coarse cloth, threw him into a dark alley, opened the sack, covered the fat man's mouth, searched all the money on him, and beat him so badly that his parents couldn't recognize him.

Later I heard that the rich family searched everywhere for the people who robbed the young master but couldn't find them, so they said it was done by a group of bandits. They were lucky enough to be able to save the young master's life, and they even went to the temple to worship the Buddha for this.

Qiluo followed behind and couldn't help laughing when she heard Banxia ask this: "What for? Are you trying to use you to make them stay away and not dare to bully me?"

Banxia swung the stick, blinked twice, and said after a moment of silence: "I didn't think that much."

Shen Li burst out laughing.

When she arrived at Yanshou Hall, the gatekeeper saw her and thought she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes vigorously and turned and ran, as if she might be caught up by the ghost if she was a step later.

After a while, the maid's voice came from inside: "The eldest lady is here, please come in."

The door curtain opened and Shen Li walked in.

There were already several people sitting in the main room. Except for Shen Yao, who had a rash last night, and Zhao, who was taking care of Shen Yao, everyone else was there.

Wan looked at Shen Li coming in and didn't dare to say a word.

Last night was so weird that she was scared and almost couldn't sleep all night. She didn't dare to be the first to help Zhao bully Shen Li again.

The old lady had a gloomy face. It was not known whether she had not slept well or she was too upset to see Shen Li. She looked like she was about to faint, and even her breathing was disordered.

However, the two sisters Shen Yan and Shen Lin, daughters of the Wan family, looked at Shen Li curiously from the moment she entered the door.

Ever since this madman came back from the farm, everything has been beyond their expectations.

The imagined country girl who was dressed in rustic clothes and was timid did not exist at all. Their attempt to intimidate her did not succeed, and instead she caused chaos in the house.

It is said that she is not very smart and is born with idiocy.

But looking at her again today, she was wearing clothes and jewelry brought back from her uncle's house. Her clothes were as exquisite as theirs, and the arrogance and unruliness in her body was something that the sisters in the mansion did not have.

This girl doesn't look like someone who was raised in a country farm. Her demeanor clearly shows that of a girl from a wealthy family.

Shen Li bowed politely and greeted everyone. No one asked her to sit down, so she found a place to sit down by herself.

Looking up at Shen Yan and Shen Lin across from him, he said calmly, "Why are the Shen family's rules so bad? Don't you even know how to behave when you see your eldest sister?"

Qiluo and Qili taught her a lot last night. She remembered it clearly. In this wealthy family, the eldest sister and brother had a very high status, and those younger than her had to pay their respects to her obediently.

What's more, her mother was the original wife of the head of the Shen family. The Shen family had something to hide, and knowing that the general was her mother's brother, they were feeling guilty, so they naturally didn't dare to use the excuse of her mother's bad reputation to fool her.

Today was a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds. She was in a good mood. The two girls opposite her kept looking at her with malicious eyes. She was idle anyway, so she teased them to relieve their boredom.

Shen Yan and Shen Lin were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at their grandmother and mother.

They were going to bow to this crazy person? And call her "elder sister"? Was she dreaming?

The old lady closed her eyes and said nothing.

Mrs. Wan was still afraid of what happened last night, so she forced a smile and said to her daughter, "Then give it to your elder sister and pay your respects."

Shen Yan and Shen Lin were filled with reluctance, but they couldn't refute, so they had to stand up, walked sloppily to Shen Li, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, elder sister. Good morning, elder sister."

"Good morning," Shen Li said with a smile, and gave a false support, "Good morning, sisters."

The two sisters sat back and took a sip of tea to hide their unhappiness.

Shen Li was surprised and said, "So there's tea to drink after paying respects? I came from the manor and don't know the customs of the capital. If I go out and meet people like this, and someone asks me, I'll say that our Shen family doesn't have this or that. I don't know if that's right or wrong."

These words made her feel resentful, but she really didn't understand anything. Nanny Sun quickly smiled and said, "My dear young lady, please forgive me. It was my negligence. I will have someone make tea for you right away."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered, "Shanhu, go and make the young lady a bowl of this year's new fragrant tea."

"Yes." A pretty maid bowed, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Shen Li asked again, "When I was at the manor, my granddaughter didn't starve to death outside thanks to the monthly allowances sent from time to time by the manor. If you add up the monthly allowances over the years, it would be a few hundred coins a month. But why did I hear that the monthly allowance for the daughters of legitimate wives in our mansion is only five taels a month?"

The old lady's eyes were wandering, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Shen Li continued, "My brain isn't very good, and I can't figure it out. Fortunately, my uncle gave me two maids, so at least I can figure it out. Based on five taels of silver per month, I should have sixty taels of silver per year. Minus the few taels sent by the mansion, let's calculate it as ten taels. I'm still short of fifty taels per year, which means five hundred taels in ten years. I wonder when this money will be replenished to me?"

Shanhu brought in the tea and placed it in front of Shen Li.

Shen Li picked it up and took a sip, "Hmm, the tea is good."

Putting down the teacup, Shen Li said, "I guess the monthly allowance for the past ten years must have been embezzled by the maid who delivered the gifts. This matter must be thoroughly investigated and given an explanation. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will laugh at the Shen family for not being able to find the evil slave who bullied the legitimate daughter, and my father is the Minister of Justice."

No one spoke.

Everyone knows that Shen Liyue’s salary is short, but who will stand up for her? They all hope that she will die outside.

Shen Li took another sip of tea.

This was the first time she greeted someone in her life, and it was someone she didn't like. It wasn't her style not to cause some trouble for the other person.

"There's one more thing I need to ask the old lady. Since I came back, the kitchen has been serving either tofu and vegetables or porridge and cold noodles. It's really hard to swallow."

Looking up at Shen Yan who was pouting, Shen Li smiled faintly and said, "Sister, are you thinking that I eat worse than a dog at the farm, and why are you coming back to complain?"

Shen Yan felt that he was seen through, his face turned red, and he turned away.

"If life in the mansion is as hard as it is on the farm, then I won't hesitate. From now on, I'll eat at your courtyards. I'll randomly draw a table before each meal, and whoever's drawn will eat there. It's more lively when there are more people, and even eating coarse food is more enjoyable. That's it."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Everyone knows that Shen Li can do what he says.

No one wanted her to come to their yard, and eat with them? Seeing her face made it hard to swallow.
