She didn’t know how Jiusi knew these things, but she knew that the Jia family was not a place where things could be hidden, and she also knew that she had no need to lie to herself, so she believed what she said.<
/p>
But just in case, she still asked one more question: "Are you sure those are true?
If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be able to explain to the eldest master and your second brother!"
Jiusi pointed at the maids and daughters-in-law brought by Wang Xifeng outside the door, and said with a smile: "This matter is not a secret in the mansion. If my second sister-in-law doesn't believe it, just ask. Only you masters don't know about these things. Others
Those servants all know it.
By the way, I wonder if my second sister-in-law has ever gone to the street to ask about the prices of those ingredients
I don't know about other stores, but I can buy forty or fifty eggs for one dollar, not to mention other things, and it basically doesn't cost much.
Moreover, things are delivered to those fields and villages every month, so you don’t have to spend money, so you can make more money.
I wonder if this is also the case in your family."
The children of these servants of the Jia family are often related by marriage, and their relationships are complicated. They may not be familiar with each other at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that they are all related children and in-laws.
Wang Xifeng's dowry is more about supporting the servants than the masters of the Jia family.
And the things in Jia's kitchen cost one tael of silver per egg, and other things are so ridiculously expensive, it's almost like eating money.
The reason why she mentioned this matter was because she remembered that Daiyu once told her that Yingchun and the others couldn't afford to eat. It was ridiculous to think about it. As a master, she couldn't even afford to eat at home.
It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Wang Xifeng is used to managing accounts. As soon as she heard Jiusi's quotation and contacted the Jia family's accounts, she immediately calculated the real money needed by the Jia family for daily use, and her face turned green with anger.
There is also the matter of Zhuangzi. Except for the ancestral property of the Jia family, which is in their hometown of Jinling, the other properties are all near the capital.
The new Zhuangzi that the Lin family just bought all have a profit, but her Zhuangzi loses money every year and needs to add money to make up for it. Isn't it obvious that they have been cheated by their servants?
Thinking of her years of hard work and her empty dowry treasury, she wanted to beat all those ungrateful people to death.
I must have thought that every time I was so worried that I couldn’t eat or sleep well, those people would be snickering behind my back!
After thinking about it, she angrily gritted her teeth and cursed: "A bunch of conscienceless dogs dare to deceive grandma like this. They think I don't have time to go to the village, so they don't take me seriously!" I feel pity for them that it is not easy for them to survive. Whenever they are short of money, I give it to them. I feel like I am being fooled by them as a fool."
Jiusi saw that her expression was wrong, and he was afraid that she would be so angry that he would not be able to explain to others, so he said: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. This matter cannot be accomplished overnight. I'm afraid that before you take over,
They were already like this, otherwise why would the second wife never say a word? This was also the case when she came to be the housekeeper.
Instead of being angry here, my sister-in-law should think about how to deal with it. The opportunity waits for no one, and if we don’t take advantage of the time to deal with these things quickly, I’m afraid it will be too late.”
If Wang Xifeng really waited until Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine before taking action, no matter how hard Wang Xifeng struggled, it would be in vain. At that time, the Jia family was already in the emperor's pocket, and there was no way she could get a point.
Upon hearing what she said, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear to be angry anymore. She looked at her in disbelief and asked, "What does my sister mean by this?"
Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Jiusi couldn't help but sneered: "I thought that with Qin's dream, my sister-in-law should have known what she was doing, but why are she still pretending to be stupid now?"
Wang Xifeng looked at her half-smiling expression and knew she had asked a stupid question, but she really couldn't believe that the Jia family, which had been prosperous for so long, would really lose.
What's more, she has her uncle Wang Ziteng supporting her, so she should be fine!
Jiusi seemed to understand what she was thinking and said with a smile: "The four major families have always advanced and retreated together. Do you think the Jia family can escape if something really happens?"
When Wang Xifeng heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes looked up at her, full of horror and confusion, as if she understood something, but also as if she hadn't figured it out yet.
Seeing this, Jiusi stood up and walked to her, patted her shoulder and said: "Sister-in-law, I shouldn't have said these words. I just said a few words out of pity for the baby. If you really want to hit the wall,
I just turned around and there was nothing I could do."
Wang Xifeng held her hand, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said, "Is there really nothing we can do..."
Others don't know, but she knows that her good aunt has sold all the sacrificial fields in her hometown of Jinling. Where can she go now to leave a way out?
Jiusi withdrew his hand with an indifferent expression and said in a cold voice: "Some things are done just as they are done. Even if you regret it, it's too late."
Whether it was the Jia family's behavior of being in the wrong team or what they did to Qin Keqing, it cannot be changed. How could they go back on their word?
Besides... they all participated in the assassination of the emperor. How could the emperor let them go? This means that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the person in power, Wang Ziteng, is still alive, and several of them still have some influence in the army, otherwise they would have been killed long ago.
Destroyed.
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng raised her hands to cover her face, her face full of helplessness and helplessness.
After a while, she turned pale and left with her servants.
I even wanted to ask Jiusi about the lawsuit, whether she could accept it, but I forgot about it, but after this conversation, she would not dare to accept it even if she wanted the money again!
Seeing her leaving, Yiyue and the others came in and asked curiously: "Girl, why are you helping her like this?"
Jiusi smiled and replied: "As I said, it was for Sister Qiao'er's child, and I never lied to her."
Er Yue frowned and asked: "But if she tells these things to those in the Jia family and the Wang family, wouldn't it be very troublesome?"
Jiusi took a sip of tea and put down the cup before explaining to her: "She won't say anything without evidence. Besides..."
She doesn't necessarily have much sincerity towards these two families. Although her uncle and aunt are good to her, they are dependent on others. If they really live a comfortable life, how can they be so strong? After all, it's not for self-protection!<
/p>
She seems to be strong in everything and likes to show off her abilities by doing things for others. In fact, she also wants people to see her abilities and not abandon her someday.
Just because she feels unsettled and insecure in her heart, she always strives to be the first in everything. If she was really living a good life, how could she tire herself out like that and refuse to give up?
Not to mention the Jia family, they all treat her as a housekeeper, and few treat her sincerely. She would be crazy to give everything for them.
Knowing that she could not save everyone, she would only think about how to protect herself and her children, and would not care about the rest of the Jia family. Therefore, she was not worried that Wang Xifeng would tell the story.
