Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 470 Breaking the Face
The people working in the Jiang residence started discussing it in private. Since the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, that young lady had come to the residence and had an unpleasant conversation with the master for some unknown reason. Not only did the master become extremely upset, but bad things also came into the picture.

I heard from Yunying, who worked for Aunt Pang, that the young lady seemed to have made some very rude requests, which made the master angry, so he didn't personally see her off that day.

In the middle of the night, someone came from Jiaocheng, saying that the shop over there had encountered some big trouble, and might even be sued. The master had no choice but to go there personally to solve it. After giving some instructions to the steward, he set off in a hurry.

Although the only young master of the Jiang family is very disappointing, the master's business has been going smoothly over the years. Some people in the town privately make sarcastic remarks, saying that the only son of Master Jiang is so incompetent, why is he working so hard to make money, and in the end, he will end up being squandered by the prodigal son.

The happiest person in the Jiang residence was Jiang Baicheng. As soon as his father left, he went to find Manager Wu and said, "Go to the accounting office and give me five hundred taels of silver."

"Young Master, the master specifically told me before he left that the accountant is not allowed to pay you money before he comes back." Manager Wu said.

Jiang Baicheng said disapprovingly, "He said what he wanted to say. He is not in the mansion now. Just do as I say. Don't worry. When my father comes back, you can just push the blame on me. I will bear the punishment myself."

After hearing what he said, Manager Wu was silent for a moment. He knew this would happen. When the master was in the mansion, this monkey was still cautious and restrained. But now that the tiger is not at home, the monkey wants to be king.

"Master, the master is not at home. The New Year is coming soon. Master, please stay in the mansion for a while and don't go out yet, otherwise..."

Jiang Baicheng was very unhappy when he heard what Wu said: "Wu, my father is not in the mansion, you should listen to me, the young master. Don't take chicken feathers as a sword. It's true that you are the chief steward of my Jiang Mansion, but no matter how powerful the chief steward is, you have no right to tell me, the young master, what to do and what not to do."

"Cheng'er, how do you talk to Manager Wu like that?" Pang Shi, who came hurriedly, scolded in a low voice.

She also understood this man's temperament and had long ago instructed the servants to pay attention to this side, so when she learned that Manager Wu was called here and guessed what it was about, she hurried over.

"Aunt, did you plant a spy in my yard?" When Jiang Baicheng saw Pang Shi coming here, his face darkened and his tone became bad. He looked at Pang Shi with scrutiny.

In his eyes, the only masters of this mansion were him and his father.

Even though Pang Shi treated him like her own son, they were not biological mother and son after all. Moreover, she was only his wet nurse at the beginning, and it was because of him that his father took her in as a concubine. So, if she could now enjoy the rights of being the mistress of the house, wasn't it all thanks to him?
Pang Shi did not expect that the child who had always been close to her since childhood would speak to her in such a tone and with such an expression. She was very surprised and could not react for a while. She looked at Jiang Baicheng in a daze.

"Manager Wu, quickly ask the accountant to send the money over. Otherwise, it will be the same if I go out and keep all the accounts. But if that happens, won't father be even more angry when he comes back and finds out?" Jiang Baicheng didn't bother to look at Pang Shi and continued to talk to Manager Wu.

"Cheng'er, if you want to buy something, just tell me. If you are not satisfied, you can change it. Don't make things difficult for Manager Wu. Your father deliberately told him this before he left. It's not that he doesn't treat you as his young master." Pang Shi tried to persuade.

If the amount Jiang Baicheng wanted was not large, there would be no need to ask the manager to go to the accounting office to withdraw the money. He would just go to her and ask for it directly.

Since he went to the accountant's office to withdraw money, it meant that the amount he wanted this time was not small. He wanted to go out of the house and have some fun while his father was out on business! Going to a restaurant with his friends was fine, but if he went to a brothel or a gambling house, he would have no idea how much money he would spend.

This was because he knew that his father was away on a serious and important business and would not be back for a while. He also knew that even if his father came back and knew what a stupid thing he had done, the most he would do was give him a beating, a scolding, and make him kneel in the ancestral hall and be confined to his room.

Jiang Baicheng was annoyed when Pang Shi spoke again: "Aunt, you are just my wet nurse. Even if you are the mistress of the mansion now, you are still not my mother. Don't interfere in this matter. Just do what you need to do."

"Cheng'er, you? How could you do this to me?" Pang Shi was shocked and asked in disbelief, then looked at Manager Wu who was standing beside her with grievance. Manager Wu frowned and turned his head away, not intending to speak at all.

"Look at what he is doing. He is just a manager. Can he support you or something?" Jiang Baicheng sneered as he looked at Pang Shi's actions.

As soon as these words came out, both Manager Wu and Madam Pang's hearts skipped a beat and they looked at each other at the same time.

"Alright, my father is not here, so you two should stop pretending. Since you won't listen to my nice words, I will try another way. If my father knew that his only concubine had hooked up with his most trusted steward, guess what the consequences would be?

This young master has done something bastard, at most he will suffer a little, but this young master is still his son.

And what about the two of you? Can you, this concubine, continue to be a concubine? Can you, continue to be a steward?" Jiang Baicheng said with a fake smile while pointing at the two of them.

His words made Pang Shi’s face turn pale immediately, and he almost fainted.

Manager Wu looked at Jiang Baicheng as if he had seen a ghost.

"Young Master, in order to get the money, you are going to intimidate and slander us two?" Manager Wu is a manager after all, and is much calmer than Pang Shi.

"I admit that it was a threat, but I didn't slander you two. That's known to heaven, earth, you, she, and me. Okay, I didn't want to be the bad guy and tear this relationship apart, but wasn't it you two who forced me to do this?
Let's go out and discuss it. Ask the accountant to send the money over, and I will pretend nothing happened.

If I still haven't seen the silver after half an hour, I won't want the silver anymore, and I won't go out to settle the account or anything like that. I will just stay in the house and wait for my father to come back.

Now, get out of this young master's yard." Jiang Baicheng scolded coldly.

Upon hearing this, Manager Wu got up and walked away. Pang Shi covered her chest sadly and looked at Jiang Baicheng with sorrow. Seeing that he had a cold face and didn't even look at her, she had no choice but to walk out.

Jiang Baicheng in the room, however, raised his lips and leaned back in his chair confidently, waiting for the silver to be delivered. He was sure that he would get the silver, but he did not expect it to come to this and now he had to use such a method.

I didn't regret asking for too little before. As long as I get this silver, it will definitely not be this time.

After Pang walked out of Jiang Baicheng's yard, she saw Manager Wu waiting for her not far away. She gritted her teeth and walked over angrily, asking her maid to follow her from a distance.

"Cheng'er just treated me like that. Why do you seem to not care about him at all? But he is..."

I had to go out for three days for something urgent, and I had a good idea to bring my notebook with me, and write and update when I had time. But, wow, I hadn't used the notebook for a long time, and when I opened it, there was nothing on the screen.

Today I contacted an author friend to help me remotely, step by step. Thanks to his patience, I was finally able to write. How useless I am!
