Chapter 30 What’s the point?

When I returned to the Hou Mansion and passed the second room, I saw the second lady running out in a panic. Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, her hair and clothes were messy, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Mr. Xie staggered out of the house. When he went down the steps, his feet softened and he fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Seeing this, the two ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and seeing Liu Yunxiang, his face immediately turned pale, "It's all because of you that I'm like this!"

Liu Yunxiang felt that Mrs. Xue was pitiful and did not want to argue with her, so she turned around and continued walking to the third room.

"Liu Yunxiang, don't be complacent, you will only end up worse than me!"

Jin Yan supported Liu Yunxiang and said in a low voice: "It was clearly Mr. Xie who beat her, but she is biting you. Could it be that she is crazy."

"Then Xie Er is her husband. She can't wait to take it out on me."

"Why!"

"I'm so easy to bully."

That night, Jin put the tray on the table with a puff of smoke and said, "How can we eat this? The servants in the outer courtyard eat better than us."

There were two dishes on the tray. They said they were two different dishes, but they were actually fried vegetables, divided into two plates. But they were said to be stir-fried, but they were more like boiled vegetables, and there was no trace of oiliness at all.

"I asked what was going on, and the person in charge said that it was the second lady's request to reduce the expenses of each room. But I clearly have bird's nest porridge in the east courtyard, ginseng chicken soup in the big room, and grilled lamb chops in the second room, so the three of us were divided.

There are only two plates of green vegetables in the room, this is not bullying!"

The more Jin Yan talked, the angrier he became, and he already had a quarrel with the steward in the kitchen, but people said that the second lady was in charge of the house, and they also followed orders.

When Liu Yunxiang came back from Zhen Guogong's Mansion, he probably breathed a sigh of relief and felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

"I have no appetite, you can eat."

With that said, she went to bed early to rest.

The next morning there was vegetable porridge, and the steamed buns were not freshly steamed and were too hard to bite.

At this time, Xiaowu came and said that her place also had vegetable porridge, and she was still very hungry after drinking a bowl.

Liu Yunxiang pulled Xiao Wu to him and pinched her little face until the flesh became thin.

"Tell Jinyan what you want to eat and ask her to go out and buy it for you."

Xiaowu was really greedy and talked a lot at once. Jinyan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to carry it back, so she asked Caiya who was next to Xiaowu to go buy it with her.

"Sanniang, why do you stay in the house every day and never go out?" Xiao Wu tilted his head and asked.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Thank you."

"What's the point of being in the house?"

"Sit, lean, lie down."

Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue, "It's not fun at all."

Xiaowu was a concubine of the second wife. Her aunt died of dystocia when she was giving birth to her. Although she was raised in the second wife's room, the second wife had a legitimate daughter named Si, so she didn't care much about her.

The little girl has grown much taller in the past year, but she is very thin. She must be wearing the leftover clothes of the fourth girl, which is fat and big. The elbows are also torn, so she does not look like the fifth girl of the Hou family.

Jinyan bought a lot of cigarettes, and the master and servants gathered around the table to eat together.

"Sanniang, this osmanthus cake is delicious."

Seeing Xiao Wu bring it to her mouth, Liu Yunxiang ate a little even though she had no appetite.

“This roasted sweet potato is also delicious.”

"Well, the roasted leg of lamb is delicious!"

“And this shrimp bun.”

Under Xiao Wu's feeding, Liu Yunxiang was full quickly.

Jin Yan smiled and said: "Fifth Miss, you must come here more often in the future. As long as the Third Lady sees you, her meals will be delicious."

Xiao Wu nodded, "Okay!"

Liu Yunxiang was afraid of being held up, so he hurriedly sat back on the Arhat bed and asked Jinyan to go to the second room to get two pieces of cloth from the private treasury.

"Miss Wu has grown taller. It's time to make new clothes. It's not good to wear old ones all the time."

"Okay, then slave girl, let's make a thin shirt and an autumn shirt for the fifth girl. We will make winter clothes after a while." Jin Yan said.

"Well, you go to the warehouse to find some fresh colors."

Jinyan took the key and went there. After a while, he brought two horses and asked the fifth girl if she liked them.

"I like it!" Xiao Wuyi was very happy to hear that she had new clothes to wear.

While Jin Yan was taking measurements of Xiao Wu, the fourth girl, Xie Wenqing, came. First he saw a table of food, and then he saw the two pieces of fine cloth.

She stamped her feet and said, "Third Aunt, you favor Xiaowu, but I won't do it."

Liu Yunxiang picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, "Why are the four girls fighting for my favor? Did Mrs. Buer treat you badly?"

"How could my mother treat me so badly? It's just that Xiaowu and I are both the nieces of our third aunt. Why do you only love her but not me?"

"How do you want me to love you, Miss Fourth?"

Xie Wenqing's thoughts changed, she sat down on the Luohan bed and said: "Yesterday I went to the Begonia Banquet, and other girls saw beads and jade pendants, but I couldn't find anything that I liked. The second girl from the Zhu family and I also went to a jewelry store.

I'm interested in a jade bracelet, it's not expensive at all, it only costs a hundred taels, so my third aunt bought it for me."

Liu Yunxiang sneered coldly in his heart. In his last life, she often bought her jade bracelets, necklaces, and whole sets of hair and accessories, but he couldn't bear to buy them.

Later, Feng Guanggong married her off, but when the second wife scolded her, she also called her a bitch.

In her last life, she comforted herself not to care about the younger generation and just wanted to be worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family. In the end, she only raised white-eyed wolves.

"Don't you know, Miss Four, that the second lady is in charge of the house now, and I don't have any money?"

Xie Wenqing pouted, "Who doesn't know you have a private treasury? What's wrong with giving me a hundred taels? It's really stingy."

"Your mother doesn't have a private treasury?"

"My mother is my mother, you should give it to me as your aunt!"
