Let’s not put aside the matter of five taels of silver a month, just not to hire a doctor for that girl... If this spreads out, it is said that she deliberately abused the children of her former mistress. The reputation she has built up with great difficulty, but
Everything was destroyed in one fell swoop.
After all, she is from a foreign family, so Qian has always valued things like reputation more than the average person. In the first few years after joining the Qing family, all the women with some status looked down on her and were unwilling to be on good terms with her.
.After many years of business management, she finally entered the circle of those women.
Hearing this, he hurriedly explained: "Mom, you have wronged your daughter-in-law. As you just heard, it was the girl who didn't tell her, but it's not that the daughter-in-law was cruel and didn't ask a doctor for her."
In her memory, the girl did come to see her several times. However, at that time, she did not like to see the girl at all. She wished that she would die early and be born early, so as not to remind herself of her status as a step-mother. So in these years, she
He always ignored that girl and let her fend for herself. Every time something happened to her
When Qing came to her, she asked the maid to find any reason to dismiss her. Later, the girl gradually stopped showing up, and she became less and less interested in her affairs. If it hadn't been for the fight with Qing Shu last time,
When she arrived in front of the old lady, she probably couldn't even remember that the Qing family had such a daughter.
"That's because you, the mistress, don't care enough." How could the old lady not understand the other party's thoughts? She sighed and said distressedly: "Although this girl is not your biological child, she is raised in your name, and she is a
Poor thing, you should put more thought into it."
"My wife knows." She was admonished inexplicably. Qian was filled with hatred for Qing Wan, but she did not dare to show it in front of the old lady, so she had to pretend to be docile and virtuous as much as possible.
"It turns out that the ladies have as much as five taels of silver to chew on..."
Before Qian could suppress the anger in his heart, he heard the little maid behind Qing Wan whisper coldly: "But why does Aunt Xu only give Miss Xu one tael of chewing food every month? I thought Miss
Their chewing habits are the same as those of the maids in the mansion."
The surprise and doubt could not be concealed in his voice.
She really just muttered, very quietly, but just enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly.
Although the old lady was older and her hearing was not as good as before, because she was standing close to the maid, she still heard clearly. Almost immediately, she frowned and said, "What did you just say? Your lady every month
You only have one tael of silver to chew on? What’s going on?”
Daukou pretended to be panicked and knelt down in front of the old lady, with a frightened expression as if she had accidentally made a mistake and said: "Back to the old lady, I don't know. It's just that the young lady's monthly money is handed over to the slaves by Aunt Xu.
, and then handed over to the lady by the slaves. Aunt Xu said that the lady’s food and clothing were provided by the mansion, and she didn’t have much to spend money on. She also said that the lady’s food and clothing were provided by the government.
The silver is enough for the young lady to spend. This, the slaves don't know, it should be as much as five taels of silver. But where did the remaining four taels go? It shouldn't be greedy by Aunt Xu herself, right?
"After a pause, he continued: "The lady is indeed right. If she hadn't been given two hundred cents of hard-earned money every month, she would probably have lost even that one tael."
The last sentence was said by the girl to herself, but it made many people's hearts tremble in unison.
