127.Chapter 127 Design clever tricks for the enemy to drill in【02】
She glanced over indifferently and sighed, "Hey, it's really like a shrimp meets an egg. I just talk nonsense when I have nothing to do."
Naturally, she ridiculed those flatterers, but Qiu Hong didn't understand, "Miss, what did you say?"
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyes slightly, "Qiu Hong, have you received your monthly payment this month?"
Qiu Hong's heart skipped a beat, "No."
Shen Mingzhu said oh and stopped talking.
Qiu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and went to do her needlework. She saw that Shen Mingzhu had a skirt with beautiful embroidery and wanted to embroider one for Shen Yunluo.
Suddenly, Shen Mingzhu seemed to remember something, and asked again: "Qiu Hong, the ladies' monthly money is three taels of silver a month, right? Then I haven't received it for eleven years, should I be replenished? You go and ask Ask."
Then she sighed again and said: "I also want to prepare gifts for everyone, but you have to see what I have. It doesn't cost money. I came from my hometown, and they gave me these things just to decorate their appearance. Money is not enough. I’m not willing to give it to you.”
Qiu Hong jumped up and asked, "Really? I heard people say that you got tens of thousands of taels of silver from Master Wu's family, and before leaving, every household gave you Cheng Yi. How come you don't even mention that much money? You don't use it to honor your wife. If this spreads out, people will only say that you are unfilial and ignorant."
Not everyone knew that Shen Mingzhu extorted money from Shen Hui. After all, Shen Hui found it embarrassing and heartbreaking, so he rarely mentioned it.
However, others will still make false claims.
What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver? You and your family will never be able to earn it in a few lifetimes!
How could I not make Qiu Hong jealous?
Shen Mingzhu didn't get angry immediately when she saw that she was a girl who thought she was the head of a family member and bossed around a legitimate daughter.
She just glanced at Qiu Hong, avoided Qiu Hong's question, and said with a half-smile: "Qiu Hong, you are the girl in charge of this house. Everything is under your control. You can ask Madam."
For a girl, she was too lazy to answer that question. Let them just go ahead and do it.
Qiu Hong immediately jumped to her feet and said sharply: "You want to ask your wife for money?"
Shen Mingzhu looked at her with a pair of big black and white eyes, "My wife is in charge of the house, so naturally I have to take care of my wife's needs, right?"
Qiu Hong shook her head vigorously, her expression changed drastically and she said, "Madam, I would also like to ask you where the money went."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and said humbly: "I still want to do embroidery, so it's better for me not to cause trouble."
How could Shen Mingzhu not know that she wanted this effect? She said calmly: "Hey, I know you don't like me. I am a legitimate daughter who is not welcomed by the master. I'm afraid I can't even compare to a girl. .”
Qiu Hong was startled and immediately turned pale, "Oh, I've convinced you, I'll just go. As I said, I'm just asking if you want it, but I can't guarantee it."
With that said, she left the house like a wind.
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, lay back in a good mood, and asked Liu Bo to crack the melon seeds.
This person is just weird, Qiu Hong has always been very arrogant towards her, without any respect, and he has been pampering her to see what she can become.
This Qiuhong didn't know it, and had always lived up to expectations and acted like a second-rate person. Now she was so frightened when she said the wrong thing that she stopped talking about you and you, and instead treated her like a eldest lady for once.
