Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 3 Counterattack
But after a few days, I couldn't be happy anymore.

There was only that little money in the account books of the house. When Yunxi was the housekeeper, he subsidized more than 1000 taels of silver every month from the dowry, so that they could live in luxury.

Now Yunxi doesn't care about it, the monthly income in the public shop is about 1000 taels, and the monthly expenses in the old lady's yard are 800 taels, and Chen Siyuan's entertainment and management outside, this money is not enough at all.

Because of this, Mrs. Chen really had a headache for several days. If she didn't feel embarrassed, she would have returned the key album.This is not a good job, it is clearly a hot potato.

In the end, it was Yuan's mother who came up with the idea to reduce the cost of servants in the mansion, so as to save a lot of money.The old lady agreed almost without hesitation.

When Yun Xi heard the news, she was taken aback for a moment, she really did something wrong.

Looking at the maids around him, they were all carefully found for Yuan Yunxi by Hou Jingbian.There are also two female guards Tsing Yi and Hong Yi who are good at skills. When Yunxi had an accident that day, they both went out to the house to handle errands, otherwise Yuan Yunxi would not have lost his life in vain.

Thinking of what she has to do in the future, these people should be well trained.

Immediately, she ordered Yingyue to spread the news about the harsh treatment of servants by the Chen family in private.Yingyue is Yunxi's chief financial officer, and there are quite a few people working under him, so it's easy to sneak a message out.

People were still skeptical about such a thing, after all, it is embarrassing for such a thing to happen to a big family.

In a few days, it was time for the monthly payment of the monthly payment at the end of the month. When everyone went to collect the payment happily, they found that everyone's monthly payment was one-third less. Very angry.

The matter of the Chen family's harsh treatment of the servants was confirmed by these servants of the Chen family, and there was an uproar in the city for a while.

No matter what happened outside, the money for people in Mingyue Pavilion was the same as before, of course it was all from Yunxi, and many people also got the reward money, which made the people in other yards jealous.

That night, Hong Yi found at least three figures quietly leaving the Mingyue Pavilion. Yun Xi hummed softly, just telling people to follow and not to startle the snake.

Within a few days, the Chen family's reduction of the monthly payment for servants became known to everyone. Everyone was discussing whether something had happened to the Chen family, and they began to deduct the servants' expenses to spend the day.

For a while, the Chen family became the talk of the people after dinner.

When Chen Siyuan was on duty, he was ridiculed by several opponents, who threatened that if the family had no money, he could ask them to borrow it, just by issuing an IOU.Chen Siyuan was so angry that his face turned green.

After returning home, I found Mrs. Chen and asked what was going on.After losing her temper, she almost dragged Yuan's mother out to beat the board, but the old lady stopped her.

In the end, the old lady let go, and the expenses in her yard were reduced by 300 taels, and the expenses of all the servants returned to the previous level, and all the owed were made up, so the rumors were calmed down.

Yunxi in Mingyue Pavilion just smiled faintly when she heard the news. Of course, she knew that this incident was not enough to shake the foundation of the Chen family, but it was just the beginning.The life they owed Yuan Yunxi could not be repaid so easily.

The turmoil of the Chen family's servants had just subsided, and when Yunxi was in charge of the family, it was reported that he subsidized more than 1000 taels of silver every month from the dowry.Everyone disdains the Chen family even more!It turns out that the Chen family's previous brocade clothes, jade and flowers were all the dowry of the daughter-in-law, and this alone is enough to become a joke.

Usually when people encounter this kind of thing, their family scandals should not be publicized, but there is an old lady in the Chen family who is so partial. The second and third bedrooms have already been separated. Songhe Courtyard.

The second wife, Liu Siya, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is really considerate. The monthly subsidy is so much. I don't know how much the subsidy has been since I entered the house for a year. I thought our Chen family was still as rich as before, thanks to my sister-in-law's good temper."

"Isn't that right? It's not pleasing to see people who are so devoted to the elder brother's room. They keep stuffing people into the elder brother's room, and even a cousin girl came." The third wife Lu Min gloated.

The second wife didn't think it was a big deal after watching the excitement, and then said: "No, the sister-in-law just has a good temper."

"That's right, alas, we are not biological after all, how can there be any cousins?" The third wife covered her mouth and smiled.

On weekdays, Shen Yuqin relied on the old lady's favor to ignore them, so at this time, they naturally wanted to make trouble.

After Shen Yuqin heard it, she shouted with red eyes: "Auntie, woo woo woo" and began to cry.

The old lady didn't like the eldest daughter-in-law Yuan Yunxi, not because of anything, but because of her ridiculous self-esteem.

When the old lady married into the Chen family, the Chen family had already begun to decline, so the old lady Shen she married was also the daughter of a small family.Seeing her daughter-in-law's profound background and her sensational red makeup, she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would look down on her and that she would not be able to handle her, so she relied on her status to criticize her in every possible way, making all kinds of dislikes.

By now, Mrs. Chen is also aware of the situation in the mansion. She is afraid of losing the face of the Chen mansion, but also reluctant to be considerate of her own money. At this time, she wants to leave this mess to Yunxi, so she asks Mama Yuan to take her with her. The key to the ledger went to Mingyue Pavilion.

It's just that she didn't expect Mama Yuan to be blasted out of the door of Mingyue Pavilion before she entered, saying that the lady was grounded and no one was seen.There was also a kung fu maid guarding the gate, who was sent by Marquis Jing Bian to protect Yunxi before going to the border.

The eldest maid, Bizhi, said even more bluntly: "The old lady said that the account book is to be taken out to admit mistakes, and our wife will not get it back until she admits her mistakes. Please return where it came from!"

Mama Yuan was an old man who had served the old lady for decades, whoever saw that she was not being polite, but she was so angry today, and when she returned to Songheyuan, she added fuel and vinegar for a while, and said: "Old lady, this old servant is good or bad. It's the person who serves you, and even a little girl beside her dares to treat me like this, isn't that obviously ignoring you? It's okay for the servant to be angry, but the servant just doesn't want the old lady to follow suit."

The old lady was furious when she heard this: "Let her come to see me immediately, I really want to see if she takes me seriously, I still don't believe that I can't control her anymore!"

Half an hour passed, and before seeing Yun Xi passing by, the girl who went to deliver the message ran back crying, covering her face.

"What's going on here, where is Yuan Shi?" the old lady asked.

"Go back to the old lady, but the lady didn't come. Li's mother next to her said that the lady was unwell and couldn't see the guests. The slave said that the old lady wanted to see the lady, but she still didn't let the servant in. The servant wanted to rush in to see the lady Is it because she is unwell, who knows that Mother Li slapped the servant and told the servant to leave immediately." The little girl said weeping.

The old lady smashed the cup in her hand with a bang.

"The old man is back, let him come to see me immediately!"

"Auntie, don't be angry for someone who is not worth it, your body is important!" Although Shen Yuqin was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.Yuan Yunxi's ten miles of red makeup has envied many people.

The old lady looked at the caring Shen Yuqin, and became even more dissatisfied with Yun Xi.Thinking of the news that Jing Bianhou was seriously injured at the border and was about to die a few days ago, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
