Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 18 The first confrontation
"Old madam, I'm sorry for the younger generation's inability to deal with this matter."

Ye Jingzhao's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be in the slightest panic.

Mrs. Mu's eyes were pointed with daggers, "You, junior, really have no rules!"

"Old madam, the family scandal must not be made public..." Ye Jingzhao stood up slowly, looking a little embarrassed.

Jiang was shocked and didn't know what the fourth girl was going to say.

I heard her speak slowly without waiting for Mrs. Mu to ask further questions.

"Grandmother is not in the mansion now, and my parents and I moved back to Kyoto just a month ago. Now we live in the mansion for food and clothing, but the maids in the courtyard still owe their monthly money..."

"Although my father's current official position is higher than before, but Beijing is not a small place like Song County, and my father's salary is only enough to deal with human relations.

Aunt Tian is also close to the old lady, so she cannot be mistreated in terms of monthly money.

But right now...

Parents really can't afford the money. "

Ye Jingzhao spread his hands, shrugged slightly, and looked helpless.

Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and before he could stop it, the fourth girl poured out the family ugliness.

Mrs. Mu didn't expect that she didn't know how to answer this time.

"Old madam, I dare not refuse to accept your wishes. Why don't you help me raise this matter with my second aunt?"

Jiang's face turned completely dark.

In order to save face, he forced a smile on his face.

Mrs. Mu also felt embarrassed, cleared her throat, but remained silent.

The servant girls in the hall longed to dig a hole to bury themselves.

I just hate myself for being so unlucky today.

Jiang has always been petty.

I'm afraid I won't let them go easily.

"Miss Si can really joke." Nanny Liao broke the silence with a smile, "Since you moved back to the uncle's house, Madam sent countless treasures to the third house, how could Madam not pay the third house's monthly money in arrears?" Woolen cloth?"

Ye Jingzhao was full of confusion and asked in surprise, "But even the monthly money from my mother and me has never been paid? Doesn't it mean that Grandma Liao thinks I'm lying?"

Grandma Liao smiled, glanced at Jiang, and saw Jiang nodded.

Then she continued: "The third lady and the fourth lady didn't receive the monthly payment? We, the ladies, have personally checked the accounts every month..."

"Mother Liao, go and investigate and find out who is the stupid fool down there who dares to mistreat the third room right under my nose! Investigate it for me!"

Jiang's family was furious, Mother Liao agreed, and led the people out of the front hall.

Ye Jingzhao didn't even think about getting his monthly money back from his second aunt.

In the past few years in Song County, the Bo Mansion has never sent anyone to send monthly money.

The parents were too lazy to argue with the uncle about this matter.

Even if the family relies on their father's salary in Song County, they will not starve to death.

Mrs. Mu calmed down and excused Jiang, "I think the people below must have seen your kindness, so they did such a deceiving thing. If the fourth girl hadn't mentioned it today, I would have thought you And I was kept in the dark by the people below.”

"Hey, it really made the old lady see a joke, I'm panicking with shame now."

The two pretended to be hypocritical and excused each other.

Ye Jingzhao, the person involved, had no sense of existence at all.

She wanted to see who was going to be unlucky in this uncle's house today.

Grandma Liao moved very neatly, and it only took half a quarter of an hour to get out.

So I brought back a woman in her early sixties, who was dressed in coarse cloth.

Xu Shi came trotting all the way, and his white hair was loosened a little.

His face was also full of wrinkles, and his eyes were shining with uneasiness.

This woman's surname is Sun.

It's the steward in the account room.

"Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Mu, this old slave has already found out that it was Steward Sun who withheld the third house's monthly payment."

"Damn things!"

Jiang scolded angrily.

Nanny Sun didn't dare to argue, she knelt down on the ground and begged repeatedly.

"Second Madam, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore! Please give me a chance, Second Madam."

"If the fourth girl hadn't mentioned this matter today, I would have been charged with mistreating my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law because of a black-hearted thing like you."

Jiang looked at Mrs. Mu again, "Mrs. Mu, I'm so sorry."

Mrs. Mu shook her head slightly, indicating that Jiang was fine and didn't need to mind.

"Mama Liao, kick this manager Sun out, recalculate the monthly payment for the third bedroom, and deliver it in person."

"Yes."

Grandma Liao was about to retreat when Mrs. Jiang called her to stop her again.

"Give Grandma Tian's monthly money as well."

Ye Jingzhao listened to the side, saying that Aunt Tian could not refuse today.

After all, Mrs. Mu was an elder, so she sent her a nanny to teach her the rules.

If you don't accept it, it won't be a good thing to hear about it.

"Old Madam, Second Aunt, I'll take my leave now. It's almost time for the school to start class."

Seeing that she didn't refuse to ask Nanny Tian again, Mrs. Mu accepted it as soon as she was ready, and waved her hand to signal her to back down. ,

Aunt Tian followed Mother Wang and accompanied the fourth lady back to the third room.

Everyone was silent along the way.

When they arrived at the third room, Ye Jingzhao asked Aunt Tian to go and rest first.

But Mother Tian insisted on going to greet the third lady.

"My mother is currently ill, and I will introduce my mother to my mother some other day."

Ye Jingzhao suppressed his anger.

"Miss Si, since the old slave was sent here by the old lady, it's better not to pay the third lady well."

Nanny Tian chattered endlessly, "The old slave went down to the porch outside the house to meet him, and it was considered a full courtesy."

"The old lady asked the nanny to teach me the rules, not to ask the nanny to be my ancestor."

She can tolerate the old lady, but who is this Granny Tian?
It's easy to handle if you really think that you don't speak?

"What did Miss Fourth say? Isn't this a slap in the old lady's face?"

"You don't want to talk about the old lady, you just need to remember that you are here to teach me the rules, not to be my ancestor. Whatever I say, you will do."

Ye Jingzhao glanced over coldly, "If you can't even do this, I'll throw you out of the house! Don't forget that the old lady has given you to me. It's up to you whether you go or stay. It's up to me to deal with it!"

Seeing that her expression became more and more cold, Mammy Tian felt a little apprehensive.

Looking around from the corner of the eye, he stopped arguing.

Naturally, it should be done.

Ye Jingzhao was not at ease and specifically told Mrs. Wang to keep a careful eye on the person.

Then she went to the school.

Unexpectedly, when she returned from school, she didn't see Aunt Tian.

She only thought that Nanny Tian went to the second bedroom.

Mama Wang stepped forward with joy in her eyes, as if some great happy event had happened.

"Did something happy happen to Mrs. Wang?"

"Fourth Miss, Grandma Tian is gone."

Mother Wang smiled smugly, but she couldn't hide it at all.

"gone?"

"Yes, let's go."

"How did you get there?"

"The fourth lady went to school, and then Master Mu came to visit her. He also came to greet the third lady and took Mother Tian away along the way."

"Take it back to the Marquis Mansion?"

Mama Wang shook her head, "Master Mu said that there is a shortage of cooks in Nan'an Camp recently..."

Ye Jingzhao couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
