Husband is not good: this concubine and three husbands

Chapter 57 The Princess Has Orders (2)

"Is she the only one drinking this?" It was Huanying again, and Huanying wanted a lot of things.Looking at the expenses of each house in the account before, Huanying didn't have much more than others. It seems that Huanying made a false report while she was in power.

"Yes, the second lady is the most particular, and what she wants is to be more refined than other wives."

It's embarrassing for this little maid, the words she said were very tactful.Pay attention?Exquisite?To put it bluntly, it is luxury.

"Did she pay for it herself, or did she pay for it out of the kitchen?"

"This... this servant doesn't know, but... I heard from the manager that it was paid for by the kitchen, and the second lady didn't pay for it."

"This is against the rules, did no one tell Director Xu?"

"Mr. Xu guessed that he knew something, but he didn't see any objection, so the kitchen steward had to listen to the second wife and kept preparing bird's nests for her. The second wife couldn't do without this, so she always asked sister Li'er to keep an eye on it. Will scold me." Seeing that Jinyan was easy to talk, the little maid began to complain about her suffering.

"I've met that girl, Li'er, and she's really overconfident. Since you know she's smart, don't argue with her. I'll just wait here today, and when she comes to fetch the bird's nest, I will naturally tell her the truth."

The girl was very moved by Jin Yan's comfort.The dignified concubine would actually comfort her as a fire maid.

"Go and call the manager. I'll ask him some questions and wait for Li'er."

The maid hurriedly ran to find the steward.

Yang'er looked at the Jinyan in front of her, feeling strange and joyful at the same time.She has changed too much, she said she lost her memory, but her temperament, speech, and behavior are completely different from before.The former lady was sympathetic to her servants, but she didn't look like a master. She was timid, not courageous enough, and didn't like to take care of things.And this Jinyan can deal with other wives, can reform the rules in the mansion, and can find ways to punish servants or wives who are inferior to her.She likes such a lady, but she has doubts in her heart, is such a lady really just amnesia?
Jinyan asked the kitchen steward about the general situation and the expenditures in recent months. She knew that there must be discrepancies between what was recorded on the books and the actual situation.But the steward must have a real account in his heart, and it will be clearer to ask him.

Sure enough, Huanying secretly used a lot of silver taels to buy for herself, and she also recorded the more she used on Lai Xue's head, because Lai Xue's expenses have always been the least, and she would not notice it at all if she put a little on her head.

While talking, Lier went into the kitchen.It's just that I didn't expect to see Jin Yan when I came in.

I had already suffered a loss last time, this time I didn't dare to be presumptuous, so I obediently went over to salute Jin Yan.

"So it's Li'er, your wife is awake?" Jin Yan smiled amiably, making it hard to tell what was on her mind.

Li'er replied: "Yes, I just woke up. Li'er didn't know that the princess was here, but did she bother her?"

"I just came here to take a look, but what kind of snacks does the second lady want you to have?"

"Uh... yes, the bird's nest that I ordered the kitchen to make at noon, let me see if it's ready."

"It turns out that your master wanted this bird's nest, and I thought it was for the prince. Li'er, you follow the second lady, and you come here to see a lot of things, so you should know how to measure it. I just said yesterday that this year's palace The harvest is not good, everyone should save some flowers. I just saw the second lady’s menu today. It turns out that there are shark’s fin and sea cucumbers. Well, it was harvested from our field. This is a good thing for beauty, go back and tell your master, you can eat more cucumbers."

Li'er was flustered when she heard that, she was caught in the wrong place again.She turned the corner and said, meaning that the second lady's food was extravagant and the cost was too high, so should she be frugal in the future?

Li'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Jinyan, and said: "What the princess said, I have written it down, and I must tell my wife."

"Okay, take the bird's nest and go back quickly, don't make her wait in a hurry."

"This...how can this be done? You should be filial to the princess. My wife doesn't have to eat..." Li'er was a little incoherent.

　I really like how the heroine teaches Diao Nu a lesson o(╯□╰)o
