"Sister Chun Tao, I'm a person from our Hanlian Garden, and I will never do that kind of thing!"

In order not to let Chun Tao suspect her, Qiu Xiang directly spoke to Chun Tao flatteringly.

"Qiu Xiang, you defend your wife and second lady so much, isn't it because you have already got this month's monthly money?"

"Qiu Xiang, I remember that you have been serving in Madame's yard before, why did you come to the eldest lady's yard in a blink of an eye?"

"That's right, Qiu Xiang, you said that you didn't serve Madame well in Madame's courtyard, how did you come to this Hanlian Garden, what did you do in this courtyard?"

Some of the other minions in the Hanlian Garden recognized Qiu Xiang, and then when they heard her say this, they deliberately opened their mouths to squeeze Qiu Xiang in a weird manner.

"I...... I came to this yard because I made a mistake in Madame's room, Madame...... Madame didn't want me anymore, so she threw me out of the Peony Garden."

In order to make others doubt herself, Qiu Xiang had to make up a lie in front of everyone.

"Are you cheap, this lady has kicked you out of his house, and you are still here to say good things for her, it seems that you have been a slave all your life!"

The others heard Akika's explanation and sneered at her.

"You people are all minions like me, what are you doing here?"

The autumn fragrance is so bad that he scolds the crowd around.

When she was originally serving in Madame's Peony Garden, although she was not a first-class maid, she was also a second-class maid who shouted five and six times.

Who would have thought that now that she has come to the eldest lady, she has become the object of everyone's bullying!

It's so hard to have a day like this!

"You all dare to do anything here, and you are still counting on Mrs. and Second Miss to give you monthly money day by day, do you think that the monthly money in Shangshu Mansion is all flowing from the water?"

"Although you are all from the Hanlian Garden, you still belong to the Shangshu Mansion! Now, the people who are slaves are talking about their masters here, and this is what you call being loyal to the Shangshu Mansion?"

Qiu Xiang was bullied tightly today, and she was very unhappy in her heart.

She was originally sent by her wife to find fault with this Hanlian Garden and monitor the eldest lady, but now, Xia Xiang, who joined Hanlian Garden with her as a henchman of Madame, has been driven away.

She was left alone here, and she was bullied every day.

Qiu Xiang has endured a lot of grievances these days, and today she will vent to these people in front of her!

"This is Hanlian Garden, not the street entrance outside, you are so noisy here, do you want to be kicked out by Miss Ben?"

Xi Qingyan pushed open the door and scolded Qiu Xiang who was finding fault in the courtyard.

"Miss, we don't really want to be so noisy, but...... But our family is waiting for Shangshufu to send monthly money to buy rice for the pot!"

"Miss, we don't want to embarrass Miss, but ...... But when will this lady and the second lady pay us the monthly money?"

"Miss, you have mercy on us! We worked hard for a month in Shangshu Mansion and ended up getting nothing, which is really unfair!"

The people in the courtyard saw Xi Qingyan's unhappy face and hurriedly explained.

"Miss Ben is naturally able to understand your feelings, and she also knows that this month's money is your livelihood to support your family, so you can rest assured, Miss Ben will not blame you for this matter."

"If you are born as a human being, if you can't even take care of the most basic food and clothing, then you don't have to go hungry to follow those useless principles!"

As soon as Xi Qingyan's words were finished, the people underground cheered.

"Miss, you're right!"

"Thank you, Miss, for being considerate of our loneliness! Thank you, Miss!"

"Miss, we're not aiming at you!"

Seeing that Miss Xi Qingyan not only did not reprimand them, but also understood their difficulties, everyone was grateful to the eldest lady of Hanlian Garden for a while.

"You don't have to work in my Hanlian Garden today, it's better to ask for your monthly money."

"Now, Madame has fallen ill, Xi Chuyu is a girl who has not left the cabinet like Miss Ben, although she is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, but in the end, everything at the moment has nothing to do with her, so if you are really ready to get your monthly money back, then you should go to my father's study."

Xi Qingyan looked at the group of people in Hanlian Yuan who were making noise like headless flies, and they were tossing and turning like this, in fact, it was useless.

"My father is the master of Shangshu Mansion, the pillar and master of this family, you don't go to find the real master, but you are here with Qiu Xiang and a maid, it is really a waste of your time!"

Xi Qingyan pointed out a way out for the people in his courtyard.

She asked all the maids and servants to go to Lord Shang Shuxi to make trouble, because only in this way could this matter hit Mrs. Shang Shu and Xi Chuyu hard.

"When you go, remember to bring your friends with you, they are also poor people, if you get the monthly money, and they don't get the monthly money, then they may want to borrow money from you to buy rice and noodles!"

As soon as Xi Chuyu said this, the servants up and down Hanlian Yuan seemed to have finally found a clear way.

"Thank you, Miss, the minion is going to pull my fellow villager along!"

"I'm going to pull my cousin! Thank you, Lady, for your advice!"

"I'm going to fetch my father, he might still be working in the stable!"

The servants in the gathering place in Hanlian Garden quickly dispersed in a short period of time, and Xi Qingyan sat and watched the people leave, and his heart was very calm.

The law does not hold the public accountable.

If she only instigated the people in one courtyard of Hanlian Garden to rise up and make trouble, when the time comes, her father will really punish her, and she will definitely be the first to be unlucky.

But if all the servants of the whole house go to complain, then her father, Lord Shangshu, will have no reason to punish the people in her courtyard.

"Qiu Xiang, you go and make the bed for Miss Ben, I'm a little sleepy now, and I want to rest for a while."

Xi Qingyan quietly watched the people in Shangshu Mansion make a noise, and Qiu Xiang, who was a lady, was quietly preparing to go to the Peony Garden to report the news, and Xi Qingyan happened to stop her at this time.

"Miss, didn't you just get out of bed? And why are you still sleepy at noon?"

Qiu Xiang looked embarrassed and reluctantly prevaricated.

She knew that as soon as the eldest lady's order came out, this Shangshu Mansion would be chaotic! Now, it is the best time for her to report to Mrs. Shangshu and the second lady, if she makes the bed for the eldest lady, she will miss the great opportunity to make meritorious service!

"Presumptuous!"

Chun Tao was reluctant to Qiu Xiang and scolded directly.

"You're the girl in the eldest lady's room who is responsible for grooming and making the bed, but now you're here to push back, don't you want to serve the eldest lady in the Hanlian Garden?"

"This ...... Where is this......

Chun Tao shouted angrily, so that Qiu Xiang was neither advancing nor retreating.

"Chun Tao, Miss Ben doesn't like to be strong, if Qiu Xiang is really unwilling to serve Miss Ben, then Miss Ben will let her go!"

"Now when you go out and look at those tooth buying and selling markets outside, you will say that Qiu Xiang is unwilling to serve my master, and I want to send her away!"

Xi smiled lightly and said unhurriedly.

"Big ...... Miss?! Miss, slave maid...... The slave is not unwilling!"

As soon as Qiu Xiang heard that Xi Qingyan was going to buy her, the whole person immediately panicked, although the eldest lady is not as powerful as the second lady in this Shangshu Mansion, but she is also the young lady of Shangshu Mansion, if the eldest lady sells her, most of the people in Shangshu Mansion will save her!

Although Qiu Xiang is not a fragrant and spicy person in Shangshu Mansion now, it is much better than those tooth markets outside!

If a second-class maid from a rich and noble family like her is sold, she doesn't know who she will do those lowly things to anyone!

"Qiu Xiang, Miss Ben doesn't want to be strong, so if you don't want to, you can leave Shangshu Mansion immediately."

Xi Qingyan looked at Qiu Xiang, who was very scared, and continued to smile lightly.

"Miss, the slave is not going anywhere, it's good to stay in Shangshu Mansion and make your bed for Miss!"

"Miss, slave...... I lost my mind for a while, and said something that was not brainy, I'm going to make your bed for the eldest lady! Slave and maid are going!"

Qiu Xiang got up in a panic and hurriedly excused what she had just said.

"Hmm."

Qiu Xiang was left in Hanlian Garden by Xi Qingyan.

Mrs. Shangshu's Peony Garden did not receive news from Qiu Xiang, and Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu always thought that the voices begging for monthly money outside had been suppressed by them.

It wasn't until late evening that Lord Shang Shuxi angrily kicked open the door of the Peony Garden.

"Old ...... Sir, what's wrong with you?"

It was the first time that Mrs. Shangshu saw her husband so angry, and after subconsciously shrinking back, she opened her mouth timidly.

"What's wrong with me? I would like to ask you mother and daughter, how do you manage Shangshu Mansion?"

Lord Shangshu was angry, scolded in his mouth, and then threw the account book he took from the account room directly in front of Mrs. Shangshu!

"I have more than 10,000 taels of rice a year, more than 1,000 taels of rice, and 5,000 taels of charcoal from various places! You have spent all this money!"

"Today, when I got out of the court, the servants of the family blocked in front of our palanquin, begging that you didn't even pay them this month's monthly money!"

"Do you know how humiliated I was when I was seen by those colleagues in the court?"

"You all boast that you can take care of the Shangshu Mansion up and down, and now, you are the one who does this?"

"People say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and taking a concubine and marrying a woman! I thought you were a very virtuous person like Mother Shame! But I never expected you to be so useless!"

"Lord Ben shouldn't have been fooled by your little jasper face in the first place! If I had married another young lady, she would never have made me so embarrassed in front of my colleagues today!"

Lord Shangshu is the most good-looking, and now, because Mrs. Shangshu did not do a good job of helping him, he was embarrassed and thrown outside.

How could he easily dissipate the anger in his heart?

"Master, it's not easy to be in charge, do you know that your silver is not enough to support the huge expenses of our Shangshu Mansion!"

Mrs. Shangshu has been running this family for half her life, and now she has been reprimanded by Lord Shangshu like this, and she feels very aggrieved in her heart.

"For fifteen thousand taels of silver, the official can buy an identical house in Kyoto, and now you tell me that this money is not enough for your expenses?"

Master Shangshu didn't expect that his remarried wife would refute him, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Look at your peony garden, magnificent, and your mother and daughter are wearing gold and silver, no wonder they can't even pay out their monthly money!"
