First the kitchen.
"The young lady said that this bird's nest can only be drunk by the young lady. Your cousin has not given birth to a child and is not sick, so why should she drink the bird's nest!"
The servants of the Su family were the most well-informed. Qiao Ruanxiang beat and scolded Aunt Zhou at will, just to scare the monkeys.
The kitchen manager is also smart and knows who is in charge of this Su family.
Wan Qinghe's maid Qingmu was so angry that she stamped her feet when she heard this, but she couldn't say that her young lady was a pregnant woman.
This matter was kept a secret in the Su Mansion, and only the first lady, the young master and the servants in the Lotus Garden knew about it.
"If you don't have bird's nest and ginseng soup, you have to have it, right?"
The steward raised his eyebrows coldly, "No!"
"Then it's okay if I come and get breakfast!"
"We didn't turn on the fire to make breakfast today. The young lady said that if anyone is hungry, they can pay for it in their own courtyard!"
Then there's the accounting room.
It was time for the maids and women in each courtyard to pay their wages, and they all came to Steward Qiao to ask for money as usual.
In accordance with the young lady's instructions, Manager Qiao sent them to their respective courtyards to ask for it from their respective masters, but he didn't care about the matter.
The servants were all noisy and noisy. Seeing that Steward Qiao was still unmoved, they all went back to their own courtyard to find their master.
Now all the courtyards are being made noisy by the servants, but Qingxiang Garden is particularly quiet.
Qiao Ruanxiang listened to what Manager Qiao and Manager Li said while having breakfast, and then looked at Zhiqiu and gave them a piece of silver each.
"I know, good job, please step back."
As soon as they stepped back with their front legs, someone came to the door with their back legs.
Qiao Ruanxiang stayed behind closed doors and sent Zhiqiu out. She said that there was no money in the account and drove them away.
The second wife of the second room, the third wife of the third room, and several aunts were driven out like dogs, and their faces all turned green with anger.
They all threw up their sleeves and ran towards Songhe Garden.
After that, Qiao Ruanxiang whispered a few instructions to Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu took the account book and followed the crowd.
Early in the morning, Ms. Dong didn't even eat breakfast. She just heard that that bitch Mr. Qiao ordered a ceasefire in the kitchen and didn't make breakfast.
He also ordered someone to withhold a supply of ginseng soup and supplements, and he was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes.
Then she saw a group of people from the second and third bedrooms, Wuyangyang, surrounding her.
The second wife, Mrs. Wei: "Sister-in-law, how does your daughter-in-law manage the house? She has taken away the entire Su family's money! What else can you say, whoever pays the servants in the courtyard! If this is the case, it is better to separate the families. Leah!"
"Yes, we all live in the Su Mansion. In the past, these servants got their wages from the public servants! Why can't it be done today? There just happened to be no money in the account today! The money in the account Could it be that they were all eaten by the sister-in-law and her family?" The third lady, Mrs. Zhong, was not to be outdone and said with a mean look on her face.
Listening to their noisy voice, Mrs. Dong couldn't take a breath and coughed several times.
After drinking a cup of tea, I felt relieved.
She has rebelled against her, this Qiao family has really rebelled against her!
She was about to have a seizure when she saw Zhiqiu rushing through the crowd with the account book and walking straight over, then turned over the most important pages for her to read.
Dong's natal family was also an official in the court, and she could understand the affairs by looking at the account books.
She could see these pages clearly.
When Zhiqiu saw that the eldest lady understood, he said the words of his young lady exactly.
"Ever since my wife got married, the Su Mansion has been in deficit. My wife filled the dowry over and over again, but she couldn't fill it up. I found out after checking the accounts yesterday that it turned out that the people from the second and third houses had been embezzling money from the public servant. .”
"Madam, my wife doesn't have to worry about the dowry to make up for the shortfall. You said it doesn't matter if Madam's dowry goes into your pocket. After all, we are a family, but the person with the second and third bedrooms actually embezzled nearly 100,000 yuan. two."
"Miss said, this Su Mansion is a bottomless pit, it doesn't matter if you don't want the housekeeper's right."
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she no longer cared about being angry, and only had one thought in her mind.
She couldn't ignore her family, otherwise she would take away all her dowry, and the money from the Qiao family behind her also belonged to the Su family!
She took another deep look at the account book, and her anger was directed at Wei and Zhong.
Okay, the second- and third-bedroom people actually embezzled so much money behind his back!
Wei and Zhong felt guilty and lowered their heads one by one.
Everyone in the Su family knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was a fool with a lot of money, and she was also weak and easy to control. That's why they dared to embezzle so much overtly and covertly.
But what happened today? Why did that idiot start checking the accounts and dare to bring this matter to light?
She is not afraid of offending them!
Let’s talk about the other side, in the lotus garden.
After hearing Qingmu's reply, Wan Qinghe was so angry that she threw the cup.
"Those bird's nest supplements belong to me, why doesn't that bitch Qiao Ruanxiang give them to me?"
She heard yesterday that Mrs. Qiao refused to recognize Xu'er as her eldest son, and in the end made her son a concubine, and even had to take a concubine for Brother Mo!
She had always been holding fire in her heart, and now it happened again.
The anger accumulated in his heart suddenly burst out.
Aoki lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly, cursing that she was the mistress of the house.
"Miss, don't be angry. Being so angry will harm your health. It's okay if you don't drink for a day. If the eldest lady knows about it, she will definitely reprimand her. When the time comes, she will definitely bring bird's nests to the lady herself."
Aoki didn't know why Mrs. Qiao suddenly behaved like this today, but the eldest lady always loves the young lady the most, and this matter will definitely be the same as countless times before.
In the end, Mr. Qiao could only apologize to his lady in a low voice.
Wan Qinghe naturally agreed with what Qingmu said, but, "My body is very valuable now. I have just given birth and am extremely weak. How can I survive without drinking bird's nest for a day!"
Aoki couldn't help but curse again. This angry and roaring tone didn't seem like he was weak.
Moreover, before they came to join the Su family two years ago, they were not as good as beggars. At that time, let alone bird's nests, they could not even eat a bite of meat.
You have only been pampered for two years, how come you are so valuable that you can’t live without drinking bird’s nest for a day?
Contempt flashed in Aoki's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"I remember that there are leftover bird's nests in the courtyard that I received earlier. I will go and help the young lady."
"How can I drink the leftover bird's nests? My body is so weak now, so I can only drink the freshest and most precious ones!"
This is hard for Aoki. Fresh ones are expensive and cost nothing. Where can she get them?
Wan Qinghe seemed to be aware of Qingmu's embarrassment, and said very reluctantly: "Okay, okay, let's just leave the rest!"
Tomorrow, Mr. Qiao will bring the best bird's nest to apologize to himself!
Qiao Ruanxiang drank the supplements given by Su Wu and slept again. She obviously felt much better.
His face was not as pale as that, he was flushed, and his body had strength.
After lunch, I saw that Zhiqiu had come back and told me everything about what happened in Songhe Garden.
