Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1098 The Murderer in the Dark 9
After hearing Aunt Ge's question, Linlang shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Even if the other party really found a new employer, she couldn't tell it. After all, this Aunt Ge was obviously a big talker. How could she dare to tell her such things? If she spread the news and said it was her who said it, she might get into trouble.

Linlang said she didn't know about Aunt Ye's situation, but Aunt Ge believed her. They stopped talking about this matter, and then Aunt Ge asked about the question she was most concerned about, saying, "How did you get Concubine Wang to speak for you? I also asked Concubine Wang, but she couldn't help me and let me have a status."

Of course, Linlang couldn't say that she had looked for the prince's concubine, so she just pretended to be confused and said, "I heard that it was the concubine who felt sorry for my son's mother's low status, so she mentioned it to the prince, and the prince agreed to give me a status."

This was indeed something that everyone in the mansion knew, but Aunt Ge didn't believe it. She curled her lips and said, "You take me for a fool. In this day and age, who would say good things for others for no reason? You must have given her something. I heard that one day you went to see Concubine Wang and you must have given her something. What did you give her? Please, for the sake of our being nameless and without status in the past, please tell me about it. I always feel that the things I gave were not enough, and Concubine Wang was unwilling to put in the effort and didn't help me. If you tell me and it helps me, I will definitely thank you in the future."

Although Linlang knew from her original body's memory that Aunt Ge was a bit stupid - if she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't be prettier than her original body, but she also didn't get a name - but she didn't expect her to be so stupid that she dared to question it directly in front of Linlang.

And the so-called thanks was just empty promises. If she really helped her and she really got promoted in the future, she would definitely not get a penny.

Aunt Ge is different from her original self who wanted to give all her money to her parents. Her money is hers, which means she should have some money. Even if she doesn't have money, can't she take one of the jewelry given by the mansion every year and ask her? As a result, she came to ask her about the rules of passing the customs without any sincerity, and spoke to her in an uncomfortable tone. What's wrong with this person's brain? No wonder she is not favored and is a concubine with no name or status.

When Linlang heard her say this, her face darkened and she said, "I have said everything I should say. If you don't believe me, just leave. Why do you have to say this to me?"

Aunt Ge saw that Linlang was no longer as gentle and kind as before, and spoke harshly. She felt irritated and sneered, "Just because you became a concubine, you think you are great and look down on us who used to be poor. You are unwilling to share the way to gain status. You are really something."

He immediately flicked his handkerchief and left, obviously angry.

Linlang was speechless, thinking that there was really no need to say any more nonsense to such a person. It was just that the prince's mansion was not like the imperial palace where there was a fight for the throne, so the struggle was fierce. The prince in the prince's mansion was almost fixed - basically, he was the princess's son. Unless there was no legitimate son, there might be a fight, but the intensity was not comparable to that in the harem - so basically there was no need to worry that other brothers would become stumbling blocks to one's advancement in the future, and there was no need to deal with other male descendants. There was no need for everyone to fight too much, so it was much more peaceful. Anyway, you live your life and I live mine. Otherwise, with Aunt Ge's temper, she would not survive a day in the harem.

In addition to people like Aunt Ge, there are other people who also come to see Linlang. However, these social interactions are basically useless to Linlang, so Linlang said it was ineffective social interaction.

In the past, she was a concubine without status and favor, and few people came to see her. Now, although she is still not favored, she has become a selected concubine, and she has a son, so more people come to see her.

Other concubines with official titles came to see her, and some concubines who were previously without official titles came to see her. She couldn't refuse to see them. After all, she couldn't pretend to be sick. She still had to take care of the child. Pretending to be sick definitely wouldn't work. If she said she was sick, the child would definitely be handed over to someone else to take care of. If the original body knew that her child was taken care of by someone else, she would probably be furious. If she didn't pretend to be sick, she would directly say she didn't want to see these people, which would also bring trouble to herself. After all, it was easy to offend people.

So the only thing Linlang could do was to sleep a little longer in the afternoon every day and try to have less contact with people.

After all, starting from lunch time, lunch takes about half an hour, and then sleep for another hour and a half in the afternoon, which makes two hours in total, and four hours in total, which is enough to almost get through the afternoon. How many people can you avoid with this?

Of course, she was not taking a nap, but practicing martial arts. After all, her original body in this world died twice, which meant it was quite dangerous. She naturally had to practice martial arts to protect herself.

Because Linlang said she wanted to take a nap, these people didn't want to disturb her nap, so they could only come to see her in the morning, which saved Linlang a lot of disturbances. However, many people secretly complained about Linlang for sleeping too much. She slept during the day and at night. How could she sleep so much?

Apart from the increase in ineffective social interactions, there are no other disadvantages.

On the contrary, the benefits are obvious. In addition to the increase in monthly allowance, the jewelry distributed is basically made of gold, jade and the like. Silver jewelry is no longer distributed. Obviously, after reaching a certain rank, it would be a bit cheap to use silver jewelry, so the jewelry distributed by the mansion are all gold jewelry.

It's no wonder that the Prince's Mansion lives a tight life. Even the prince's concubines cannot all be given gold jewelry, but silver. Only those with official status get better. The main reason is that the Qingjiang Palace was not originally opened by the prince who was the son of the emperor. The first prince of this branch was the son of other princes, who was conferred the title of prince. Therefore, it is very far away from the royal family.

Therefore, apart from the annual salary of 5,000 taels of silver and 2,500 dan of rice stipulated by the court, there were no other benefits, unlike those who had close relations with the royal family, who could sometimes receive rewards from the emperor.

Although everyone lives together now, the salaries of the prince and other children who have been granted fiefs are also paid into the public treasury, but the money is in the hands of Prince Qingjiang. As the head of the family, he has to socialize outside and spend it however he wants. Besides, he doesn't have much money, so he spends it all if he spends it casually. Therefore, the money allocated to the women in the backyard every month will not be too much. In this way, except for those with a status who are treated better, those without a status can only wear silver jewelry instead of gold, which is normal.

Since all the money is in the hands of Prince Qingjiang, this is why the Crown Princess wants to seize the right to be the housekeeper. With the right to be the housekeeper, at least she can embezzle some money from the money that Prince Qingjiang allocates to the women in the backyard every month, so that their family will not be afraid of running out of money.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's wife wanted the power to manage the household. Besides being worried that Prince Qingjiang would marry a concubine, which would be detrimental to their main house, she also wanted to make money.
