After the Li family left, Chi Xia cried even more sadly, she had never been humiliated like this since she was a child.

"Mother, won't you be able to stay here in the future?" Chi Xia was so afraid that if he really didn't have any money, he would be kicked out. Shangshu Mansion can't go back, if you can't stay here, I really don't know where to go?

The eldest lady also knew that even if all the soft she carried was sold, it would be a drop in the bucket. Now it's just one step at a time.

In the evening, Chi Xia looked at the food on the table, it was really a world of difference from before, Xiaozhu couldn't help but want to cry when she saw this, when did Miss have been wronged like this.

The eldest lady was no better, and she felt pathetic in her heart, that her mother's family would treat her like this.

In the past ten days, the eldest lady and Chi Xia have not done well, and their lives are normal, but ten days later, the Li family and the Sun family came over collectively, and the meaning is obvious, they came to ask for silver.

The eldest lady took out a lot of silver again, the two of them originally had disgusted faces, and Chi Xia was extremely resentful when she saw it, all of this was due to Chi Wan, otherwise she wouldn't have been bullied and couldn't even raise her head.

After they left, Chi Xia said aggrievedly: "Mother, what now? If this continues, sooner or later it will be hollowed out. ”

"How could I not know, but now this situation is not going to work, wait for me to go out and pawn something, and deal with what is in front of you first." The eldest lady knew that she would be kicked out when she had no money.

"Mother, I'll go find my father and ask him to pick us up." Chi Xia said with tears in her eyes.

She can't stay here for a day now, and she'll go crazy if she goes on like this.

The eldest lady fell into tears when she heard it, go back? It's already impossible, if Chi Fangrui had a trace of longing, she wouldn't end up like this today.

Chi Xia regretted more and more that he shouldn't have used his anger for a while to become what he is today.

Since there is no eldest lady in Shangshu Mansion, life is very comfortable, the third aunt loves them very much, and she will not blame them for doing wrong things, and the maids in the house are also a lot more relaxed, and they are even more respectful to Chi Wan and the third aunt.

Chi Fangrui received a lot of rewards in the Prince's Mansion, and of course the fruits of the tribute, and the whole family sat there waiting for Chi Wan's return.

The second aunt was unhappy, and said in a weird way: "The county lord is really a big show, and he actually wants so many people to wait for her." ”

"Second aunt, Wan'er comes back so late every day, today Chi Ai and Chi Xin both went to the store, they are really busy, second aunt understand." The third aunt hurriedly explained to Chi Wan.

Chi Mei muttered disdainfully: "Isn't it just going to make money?" What's the big deal. ”

Chi Xin was unhappy, frowned and said: "What the third sister said is so unreasonable, since it is to make money, why don't the third sister not earn it, don't you still spend the money in the house every day." ”

"You...... Fifth sister, I've been with Chi Wan for a long time recently, and I've learned to shout so loudly when I speak. Chi Meiqi's face turned red, but she couldn't refute it.

"Third sister, what the fifth sister said is just telling the truth." Ji Ai also interjected.

The third aunt secretly stopped them and motioned for them to shut up.

Chi Fangrui's face was very bad, but he didn't say anything.

The second aunt also knew that the master's face was not good, so she signaled Chi Mei to shut up, what Chi Fangrui hated most was the chatter and noise of the people in the backyard, how could he gain a foothold in the court if he was restless at home, every day he was already deeply tired because of the affairs in the court, and he was always noisy when he returned home, and no one could stand it.

When Ji Wan came back, she saw them sitting in the lobby looking at each other, and the atmosphere was still a little wrong.

"Father, Wan'er is back, I'm too busy today, so I'm coming back late, and I ask my father not to blame." Chi Wan walked up to Chi Fangrui's side and said apologetically.

Chi Fangrui raised his head and looked at Chi Wan's slightly tired face, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and said, "Sit down." ”

"It's the father." Chi Wan sat on the side, and since the eldest lady left, Chi Wan's position was also a little closer to Chi Fangrui.

It also shows that the status is also much higher.

"Second sister, why are you coming back later and later, everyone is waiting." Chi Mei was furious when she saw Chi Wan's innocent face, she looked better than all of them, and she could speak, which won her father's heart, and even when Chi Xia was there, she didn't get such treatment.

"The business in the store is too busy, so I came back a little late, and now Xiuxiu and the three of them have stayed there to help, by the way, father, is there a good maidservant in the house?" Ji Wan seemed to think of something.

"What are you going to do?" Chi Fangrui asked curiously.

"Recently, the business has been too busy, and there are not enough people, so I think that there are good female workers in the house to help, and if I recruit people, I am afraid that it will cost money."

Chi Fangrui understood, she was using the people in the house to help, so that she could save money and supply, thinking about it, she looked down at the third aunt, and she knew all the maids in the house.

"Master, there are indeed some maids, but ......" The third aunt knew what it meant when she saw Chi Fangrui looking at her, but those maids were not with her.

Seeing her, Chi Fangrui asked a little unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

"Some of the maids are on the second aunt's side, she ......" the third aunt did not continue.

Chi Wan understood, it must have been the second aunt who saw the eldest lady and called her maids over to serve her, serving is one thing, but more is more likely to teach a lesson.

As the so-called rising tide lifts all boats, the eldest lady is arrogant and domineering, and she is very harsh on people, and the maids around her are naturally very high-eyed, and it is estimated that these aunts are not less angry with them, and the third aunt knows how to protect herself, so she naturally does not care about these things, but the second aunt is different, and it is difficult to vent her hatred without revenge.

"What do you want so many people to do, and you mother and daughter need ten people to serve?" Chi Fangrui scolded sharply, extremely dissatisfied with her.

The second aunt obediently lowered her head and stopped talking, her eyes full of hatred.

Chi Mei couldn't help but complain: "Parents, you are really partial, isn't the second sister also serving as three maids?" Why can't I do it on my side? ”

Chi Fangrui directly slapped the table angrily and shouted: "How do you compare with her, your second sister is the county lord of the emperor's own title, and all her people are helping in the store, in order to help the Chi family, what about you, what can you do, don't think that others don't know what you think anymore." ”

Chi Mei didn't know when he scolded her. Obediently sat there with his head bowed.

Chi Wan shook her head and said softly: "I'm sorry, father, if it weren't for Wan'er, I wouldn't have made my father so angry, forget it, the people in the family will stay and serve the second aunt, and Wan'er is the same when she is going to recruit workers." ”

"What kind of job are you recruiting, what are you doing with so many idlers at home? You have them all follow Wan'er to the store tomorrow. Chi Fang pointed at the second aunt and said. The anger in her eyes will burn the second aunt to ashes.

The second aunt didn't dare to say anything except bow her head, she was a concubine in the end, and she was much worse than her concubine. How dare you make any sense.

"Okay master, it's good that the matter is settled, come here, county lord, this is what the lord specially waited for you to come back and eat together. Come on, let's cut it. The third aunt asked the maid to take out a knife and cut all the offerings.

Only then did Chi Wan notice the fruit on the table, wasn't this mangosteen and mango? Don't they know each other?

The third aunt thought that she hadn't seen her motionless, and said with a smile: "This is a tribute from His Royal Highness the Prince, you must know that these two fruits are only available in Jiangnan, and sometimes they are rotten before they come here, the lord still cares about the county lord very much, let us all sit here and wait for you to come back and eat." ”

Chi Wan smiled slightly, looked at Chi Fangrui with emotion in her eyes, and said, "Thank you father for your kindness." ”

"Well, let's eat." Chi Fangrui took it and gave Chi Wan a piece, and it was the largest piece.

Chi Mei was particularly red when she saw it, and she was even more angry in her heart, in the end, this woman was so good that she was able to get her father's love. I'm really going to her off.

If Chi Xia is here, he can accept her in his heart, but she is a dead girl from the countryside.

After eating the fruit, Chi Wan was about to go back to her yard, but was stopped by the second aunt and Chi Mei, Chi Wan raised her head and looked at the sky, it was already full of dark clouds, no wonder it was so sultry, it should have rained.

"County Lord, I'm really interested, I can still watch the scenery at night." The second aunt said sarcastically.

"Second aunt, Ming people don't say secret words, if you have anything to say, just say it." Chi Wan is really tired, and she really doesn't want to be hypocritical and snake here.

"Chi Wan, now that the eldest lady is no more, you are a family member, you can't be too dead in life and work, otherwise it will cause resentment."

Chi Wan raised her eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "How can I say this second aunt, the county lord is just seeking truth from facts, why don't you leave a way for people to live, does it mean that today's things are hungry?" ”

The second aunt didn't believe that she couldn't see the reason for this, only for the slut who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, no wonder the eldest lady would be played by her, and finally ended up with a cousin.

"Second aunt, if there is no major event, then the county lord will go back first, the county lord is very tired after a busy day. Unlike the third sister, who dresses up at home every day, it doesn't need to be so hard at all, thinking about the third sister is the happiest. Chi Wan's words were like a knife directly stuck in Chi Mei's heart.

This is her most painful scar, she hasn't asked Chi Fangrui to give her a shop, why can't she do what a country girl can do, but she was scolded by Chi Fangrui, and the result is not to mention.
