Chapter 77

After listening to Xu Niang's words, Mrs. Mu felt a little uneasy.

She was indeed the one who said this, but that was before Fu Li contracted fart disease.

There was still plenty of money in the public account at that time, she almost asked all the pharmacies in Fengjing City but couldn't buy a good Zihe cart, so she asked for a high price.

But it's different now, there is no penny in the public account, and the purchase of servants, and even the expenses of the house in the past few days, are all subsidized by her out of pocket. 900 taels of silver is undoubtedly as painful as cutting flesh.

"My wife is not bad for your money, but it must be worth it! The three Zihe chariots in your medical center are of mediocre appearance, and they are not worth the price at all."

Xu Niang smiled, "Each flower is in everyone's eyes. Since Mrs. Mu doesn't like the things in the store, Xu Niang dare not force her. She also asks Mrs. Mu to return the things, and the bill will be considered void."

Madam Mu choked.

Of the three purple river carts, two have already entered the stomach of the daughter, and the remaining one is being stewed in the pot, and it should be almost cooked.

But this is not difficult for her, Zihe car is not only sold in Huichun hall, she just finds someone to go to other pharmacies to buy three new ones.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Mu showed arrogance, "The things are not in the house for the time being, and I will send them to your hospital after I find someone to get them back."

Xu Niang smiled, "Alright, then I will trouble Mrs. Mu. By the way, there is one thing that needs to be told to Mrs. Mu in advance. All the precious medicinal materials in this store have unique labels, and these three Zihe carts are no exception.

In fact, before Mrs. Mu bought the three Zihe carts, Wu Tingwei's wife also looked at them, and saw the logo on the Zihe cart by accident. Unfortunately, Mrs. Tingwei thought the price was too expensive and did not buy it. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu's face immediately changed.

Wu Zongxian has always been unselfish, upright, and powerful, even his wife is quite confident, and never flatters her because she is the prime minister's wife.

If she really returned the three purple river carts bought by other pharmacies, and the people in Huichun hall found out, and Madam Wu was invited to confront her, then the Mu family would be disgraced!

Within a moment, Mrs. Mu already had a decision in her heart.

"Forget it, Mrs. Ben has been very busy recently. For a mere 900 taels of silver, Mrs. Ben will be saved from bankruptcy."

"Thank you Madam Mu."

After successfully getting the money, Xu Niang left happily, but Mrs. Mu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"lady……"

"what happened again?"

Facing Mrs. Mu who was furious, even the most respected person in the Yunxiang Courtyard, Ruhua, had to be cautious.

"You only have less than 100 taels of silver in your treasury."

Mrs. Mu was furious, "Nonsense, last month, Mrs. Ben had more than 7000 taels of cash in her treasury. It's only been less than a month, and the money is gone?"

Ru Hua hurriedly knelt down, "Madam calm down, plus today, you have spent a total of 3000 taels of silver during this time."

"What about the remaining 4000 taels?"

"Yes, it's the eldest lady. She bought three sets of jewelry and four sets of clothes last month. She also had a lot of rouge and gouache, almost 1000 taels of silver. They all went to your private treasury. The servant girl told you before, you said Do not care."

At this time and at that time, she had no shortage of money before, so she could naturally let her daughter do whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Mu rubbed her forehead with a headache, "What else?"

"Miss, she paid 3000 taels of silver more than half a month ago."

Mrs. Mu was taken aback, "What is she doing with so much money?"

"The slave does not know."

Mrs. Mu immediately went to the Begonia Courtyard.

In the Begonia Courtyard, Mu Xi was training the newly bought servant girl.

The four maidservants lined up, standing under the scorching sun with their teacups on their heads, and if they stood for half an hour with the teacups on their heads, they passed the examination.

Those who failed the assessment continued to stand until Mu Xi was satisfied.

Mrs. Mu entered the Begonia Courtyard, and saw that the handmaiden whom she had carefully selected and bought at a high price was tormented to death by her daughter, she couldn't help feeling angry.

"Xi'er, come with me, I have something to ask you."

After finishing speaking, he directed the four maidservants holding teacups in the yard, "Okay, let's all do our own things."

Mu Xi shouted in dissatisfaction: "Mom, what are you doing, didn't you see that I was training them?"

In front of the servants, Mrs. Mu held back her anger and did not quarrel with her daughter. When she entered the room, she reprimanded her angrily.

"It's so hot, if you toss them down, who will serve you?"

Mu Xi didn't take it seriously, "If it doesn't work, just buy a few more."

Mrs. Mu was so angry that her heart ached, "You put it lightly, these four newcomers were picked out from the dental shop after a lot of effort by my mother, and each one cost 30 taels of silver."

Mu Xi rolled her eyes impatiently, "Mom, what happened to you today, you are just a few servants, why are you so nervous?"

Mrs. Mu stared at her with a bad face, "Let me ask you, you took 3000 taels of silver from my private treasury last month, what did you do?"

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, her expression slightly unnatural, "What can you do, of course it's useful."

"What's the use, you're a young lady who hasn't left the court, you have to pay for your food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I'll subsidize you in private, why do you need such a large sum of money?"

Mu Xi twisted her handkerchief, "Oh, I bought a horse for King Qi, and he gave me Yunjin, so I have to return the gift to show it."

"Why do horses cost so much 3000 taels?"

"It's the Zhaoye Jade Lion that came in from the Western Regions."

Mrs. Mu was so angry that she didn't know what to say, "You bought such an expensive horse, why didn't you discuss it with your family?"

"If I tell you, will you agree with me buying it?"

Mrs. Mu was speechless.

Of course she would not agree to spend her money to buy horses for Jun Moyi.

"Oh, mother, don't be angry. Isn't it just 3000 taels of silver? What's the big deal? You have to trust your daughter. When I become the queen mother in the future, the whole country will belong to our Mu family."

Seeing her daughter's innocent face, Mrs. Mu sighed silently, and briefly explained the current predicament in the mansion.

Knowing that Mrs. Mu's private treasury and public account were all out of money, Mu Xi finally panicked.

"Mom, what should I do then? Otherwise, you can go to find Dad, he must be rich."

Mrs. Mu shook her head feebly, "Your father doesn't have much."

"How is it possible? Father has several shops in his hand, and there is always an income of three or four thousand taels a year."

Mrs. Mu is also not good at telling her daughter about Mu Yuanlin hiring a killer. After all, the money was spent but the job was not done. Speaking of it will not be beneficial except to affect Mu Yuanlin's image in her daughter's heart.

"The money in your father's hand is not useful. Mother will go to the shop and the Zhuangzi tomorrow to see if she can collect some money first. Otherwise, the food and expenses of the mansion will become a problem in half a month. Xi'er, it's not as good as it used to be. Now, you have to be frugal too."

Mu Xi was very depressed, "Got it."

Soon, she thought of something again, and rolled her eyes, "Mother, didn't Duke Qin send a lot of good things to that bitch Mu Ning a few days ago? She can't bring all of them In the palace?"
