Chapter 148 Here comes the money
In Tinglan Courtyard.
Liu's crying had gradually stopped, and she was left with only exhaustion.
"Is the master back?" asked Liu. She thought of Su Zhiyi at this moment.
So many things happened in the Marquis' Mansion, but he, the head of a large house, was not at home. I don't know which vixen has bewitched him.
"I have asked someone to keep an eye on the gatehouse, but he didn't see the master come back. But don't worry, madam. Maybe the master was busy with official duties and couldn't come back in time." Nanny Zhou comforted Liu.
Liu shook her head woodenly. She knew Su Zhiyi very well. He might have heard about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion outside and didn't want to come back to face it.
It's a pity that her eldest daughter was bullied by the Song family. If Su Zhiyi had a higher official position, the Song family would never dare to do this.
Let’s wait for a while. As soon as Yun Rou becomes the princess, the first thing we’ll do is target the Song family!
As for the people in the third room, since no gold can be squeezed out of them, let them all die of illness.
Thinking of this, Liu finally felt much better.
"Send someone to look for the eldest master and tell him... that the old lady is looking for him." Liu knew that if she was the one looking for him, he would definitely not come back, so she decided to use the old lady's name.
"Yes!" Nanny Zhou agreed.
She looked at Liu's haggard appearance and sighed inwardly.
"Madam, I will wait for you to rest first."
"it is good!"
Liu also felt that she needed a good rest, and would go to check on her eldest daughter's situation after waking up.
Just as he lay down, a maid came to deliver the message.
"Madam, Madam Xu is here."
Liu sat up dissatisfiedly, "What is she doing here?"
Aunt Xu is just like a dog beside the old lady. She bites whoever she catches. She definitely has no good intention in coming to me this time.
Nanny Zhou hurriedly helped Liu to dress, and when Liu came out, Nanny Xu had been waiting for a while.
"Greetings, Madam." Madam Xu bowed respectfully.
"What is Madam Xu doing here?"
Liu asked directly after sitting down on the soft chair.
"The old lady was afraid that the first lady would forget about it, so she ordered me to fetch the 30,000 taels of silver. In addition, the old lady meant that the eldest lady injured the second lady, and she was just a little bit away from losing her life, so the first lady must at least compensate the second lady 10,000 taels of silver, so that the second lady will not really make a scene to the Jingzhao Yin, which will embarrass everyone."
Nanny Xu spoke bluntly, and then stood there, waiting to get the banknotes.
Liu covered her chest and felt like she couldn't breathe.
Not only did the old lady take away 30,000 taels, she also asked me to give another 10,000 taels to Xiaokang.
Are the Kang family aunt and nephew crazy?
This damn old woman is really protective of her child! Xiao Kang's lapdog bitch is really good at handling things. She served the old woman so well that she only cared about the second wife! The first wife is also his bloodline, but he is so partial to her.
Nanny Zhou hurriedly tried to calm Liu down, and at the same time said to Nanny Xu, "How can the Second Madam's injury be that serious? She can still walk on her own!"
He asked for ten thousand taels of silver just by talking about it. Does he really think that the lady's money came from the wind?
"It's not a big deal. Nanny Zhou is not a doctor. Besides, the doctor said that if the eldest lady had been a little more aggressive, the second lady would have died. The old lady also said that if the first lady is willing, it's not a bad idea to pay more, but at least 10,000 taels."
Nanny Xu didn't care about that, as she had already conveyed the message.
"I don't have that much money." Liu said in a deep voice.
"Then Madam, you can think of a solution yourself. The eldest daughter is your daughter, or you can ask her to pay the money. In addition, please give me 30,000 taels first. I have to go back to serve the old lady."
Nanny Xu bowed again, making it clear that she would not leave until she got the money today.
"You go back first, I'll have someone send the banknotes over later."
Liu was furious. She was still thinking of some way to get rid of the 30,000 taels, but the old lady just sent someone over.
"I dare not trouble the Madam to send someone else to make another trip. I have come here specially to get it. Just give me the banknote." Madam Xu did not give in at all.
Liu was so angry that her heart ached. She really wanted to order someone to beat up the old woman in front of her, but she was the old lady's person, and she couldn't touch her now.
But that old man, Mr. Kang, now feels that he can’t cheat his third daughter-in-law of her money, so has he started to cheat himself?
Liu looked at Madam Xu deeply and told Madam Zhou, "Send someone to invite the accountant over and bring all the silver currently in the mansion."
Madam Xu didn't care what Liu did, she just wanted to take the money back.
"Greetings, Madam." The accountant bowed.
"How much silver is left in the treasury?" asked Liu.
"Madam, we still have more than 8,000 taels, but we have to settle the monthly wages of the servants in the mansion soon, and then the expenses of the masters of each room. In addition, next month is the old lady's birthday, which will also cost a lot of money. These 8,000 taels are not enough."
The accountant just thought that Liu wanted to give money to the palace, so he told the palace the bulk of the money that needed to be spent, but this did not include the expenses for the two masters.
After hearing this, Liu looked at Nanny Xu.
"Madam Xu, you've heard it too. The money in the palace is not enough to spend right now. I'm giving you these eight thousand taels of silver now. You can also take the keys to the palace back to the old lady. I can't manage this mansion anymore. Please take care of the household expenses in the mansion."
She has now realized that this marquis's mansion has no money at all.
I originally thought that after the third wife came back, I could get more benefits, but now what can I get? All I can do is vomit blood.
Just hand over the housekeeper's rights. No matter who the old lady gives the housekeeper's rights to, she won't fill this big hole anyway.
How could Nanny Xu dare to take it? This thing was a hot potato. If she really took it, the old lady would definitely be angry.
"Madam, I am only here to collect the money as ordered by the old lady, but I cannot make the decision. If the 10,000 taels from the public treasury are not available, then I will definitely take the 20,000 taels from the first wife back with me."
Liu snorted, got up and went to the inner room. When she came out, she was holding a small box in her hand.
"Here are 10,000 taels of silver notes from my dowry, and two complete pieces of Hetian jade, also worth 10,000 taels. Originally, these things were to be kept for Yuejie's wedding, but now I'll give them to the old lady to dispose of."
I think you, an old man, would be embarrassed to leave anything to your grandchildren.
Seeing this, Nanny Xu could only accept these things first, but before leaving, she reminded:
"Madam, don't forget that you still have to give 10,000 taels of compensation to the Second Madam. It would be more appropriate for you to go by yourself this time. I will not do it for you."
Seeing Aunt Xu leave, Liu snorted heavily.
"Old whore, sooner or later you will have to spit out all your money."
If Xiaokang wants to pay compensation, let her wait!
Liu lay down uncomfortably, and after a while, she developed a high fever. Fortunately, Nanny Zhou discovered it in time and called a doctor over.
