Before Mrs. Fu entered the house, she circled around Hongsui who was kneeling on her knees, as if she was afraid that her daughter-in-law inside the house wouldn't hear her, "Tsk, tsk, how pitiful it is in the middle of winter!"

"Hongsui, what did you do to get punished outside?"

Hongsui was first a first-class maid in the mistress's courtyard. After Jiang Wanhe entered the house, she went on duty at Ruixing Pavilion. In addition to taking care of Jiang Wanhe's daily life, she also served as Fu's obedient spy.

At this time, she saw her former master coming and thought that her leg would not be broken today. She cried and replied, "Go back to Madam, I failed to keep the dowry storehouse well, and I am short of the lady's silver. My lady is merciful and will not cooperate with me." I care about you, but I realize I made a mistake, and I am willing to kneel here."

Aunt Zhou was sleeping very well in her yard when she was suddenly brought to the Ruixing Pavilion by her mistress. It was definitely not just a group visit to see Jiang Wanhe. It turned out to be something related to the dowry treasury.

Gong Yuling looked at her sister-in-law under the window and said unhappily, "Last time I went in and my feet were pinched. Who is it this time? Who dares to touch her even an inch?"

Hongsui lowered her head and replied, "It's the Marquis. The Marquis was in a hurry a few times, so I didn't think too much about it."

Jiang Wanhe in the room smiled. She punished the slaves in her courtyard and they had to take care of her. They also had to take care of the money she kept in her dowry treasury?
Why?
Mrs. Fu frowned, walked into the house, and asked her daughter-in-law, "How is your wound healing these days?"

"The wound is much better, but my heart always encounters some chilling things. My heart feels stuffy and uncomfortable."

Mrs. Fu smiled and sat at Jiang Wanhe's feet, while Aunt Zhou sat on the stool that Yin Xin had moved.

Aunt Zhou said, "If you feel uncomfortable, it must be because you think too much. If you don't ask about some things, you will naturally feel more comfortable."

Mrs. Fu turned around and said to Lady Cicada, "Go and ask Butler Ke to prescribe some soothing medicine to relieve depression. I've been feeling uncomfortable lately, so I'll drink a few too!"

That is to say, besides Jiang Wanhe, Mrs. Fu is also not happy at the moment?
Jiang Wanhe said, "No need to prescribe it. I already have it here. Yin Xin, go and dilute the medicinal soup in the courtyard into two parts, and let mother drink a bowl."

Mrs. Fu looked at her daughter-in-law and said with a smile, "No, no need, I'm not feeling stuffy right now."

"You won't be bored now. You might get bored if something happens later, right? Drink it first to prevent it. You'll be fine!"

Yin Xin came in from outside and placed two bowls of dark soup on the table.

She took a sip of this medicine, and after bringing it back from outside, she tested the taste for the young lady. It tasted bitter and pungent, with a mint smell.

Jiang Wanhe brought his bowl in front of him, put a spoon on the other bowl, and handed it to Fu.

Mrs. Fu didn't move, so she followed Jiang Wanhe and complained a few words. How did she know that Jiang Wanhe was really taking medicine to treat chest congestion?

"Mom, don't you drink it? It's not poisonous."

Jiang Wanhe took it and blew on the medicinal soup a few times. The soup in this bowl contained a lot of mint. Mixed with other medicinal materials, it not only calms the heart and calms the lungs, but also has another effect, which is to avoid children.

She had no choice but to have a relationship with Mu Feng, but if this accident happened that shouldn't have happened, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

The folk recipe of adding mint leaves was something she had read in a book before. It was said that beauties with humble status, often in the palace, would drink a lot of mint tea to reduce the chance of pregnancy and avoid committing suicide. A dead end with enemies everywhere.

"Drink, why don't you drink, I happen to feel uncomfortable in my heart!"

Mrs. Fu stirred the medicinal soup, brought it to her mouth, raised her head and pinched her nose and drank half of it in one gulp.

Maybe the mint hit my nose and brain, and I shivered several times uncomfortably. My facial features were squeezed into a ball. No matter how uncomfortable I was, I drank the other half of the bowl.

Jiang Wanhe sipped the soup spoonful by spoonful, and even licked the spoon after drinking it, not afraid of the strong taste of mint.

If you ask why she is not afraid of taking medicine, it is not because she drank too much in her previous life!
"Oh, it's so bitter, are there any candied fruits?"

Mrs. Fu opened her mouth to complain, but she couldn't find candied cakes on the table, so she went to ask for it from her daughter.

Gong Yuling searched for a long time, found an orange candy, and stuffed it into her mother's mouth.

"I'm sorry that my daughter-in-law lives a tight life and spends a lot of money on prescription medicines. She doesn't have much money to buy such delicious food."

"You have so much money and you tell us you have no money?" Gong Yuling suspected that her sister-in-law was pretending to be poor with them!
Jiang Wanhe stared at him and asked, "That money?"

"Which money do I have?"

Gong Yuling replied, "The dowry storehouse!" Isn't this a question that you don't know?

"Is the dowry library yours? What does it have to do with you?" Jiang Wanhe replied.

Gong Yuling shut up immediately.Mrs. Fu ate something sweet, and the bitterness in her throat eased a little, and she no longer felt like vomiting!

"Wanwan, what you say is just an outsider. We are a family. It doesn't matter if you use some of your money."

Mrs. Fu came here just for Gong Hean.

If Hongsui's matter is not dealt with, it will be difficult for Gong Hean to get even a penny from the dowry treasury.

"Of course it doesn't matter if your husband uses some, but it also depends on where he uses it, right?"

"Where else can he be used? It must be to make connections in foreign affairs."

Jiang Wanhe put down the soup bowl that was full to the bottom.

She called Hongsui outside, "Hongsui, come in."

Hongsui climbed up on the ground, her legs couldn't help but tremble violently. Even if she bent down, she couldn't relieve it. The next second she fell to the ground again.

Seeing this, Cicada Girl went to give her a hand and helped her into the house.

"Hongsui, mother is here today. Please tell her how many times your husband took money, how much he took each time, and what did he do when he went out?"

Hongsui knelt on the ground again.

"My slave, I dare not say anything."

She really didn’t dare to say it!
Because every time Nan Xing came to get money, she couldn’t tell her what it was for!

"How dare you hide it from the master's questioning? Why don't you hurry up!"

Cicada went up and pinched Hongsui's waist.

The pain was so painful that Hongsui almost rolled on the ground.

Jiang Wanhe was displeased and knocked on the tea table with his hand, "Mother Cicada, whose servant is Hongsui? Is it yours?"

"Yes, he is a servant from the eldest lady's courtyard."

Cicada has been working as a maid for too long, and she divides the people around her into those who can be bullied and those who cannot be bullied, and Hongsui naturally falls into the former category.

"Hongsui, if you tell the truth, I won't punish you anymore." Jiang Wanhe withdrew his gaze and said to Hongsui on the ground.

When Hongsui heard the words "not punishing her", her original decision not to say anything was shaken again.

Anyway, she is now in the eldest lady's courtyard. As the eldest lady said, as long as the eldest lady does not punish her, she will not be bullied, so now it is broken.

"Yes, ma'am."

Hongsui spoke slowly and confessed everything about the Marquis.

"The first time was a week ago when Shen Weiyue had her hair cut by her wife. The next day, the young master spent 50 taels to buy high-quality long hair in the city and asked the calligraphers in Beijing to make a wig. , to make Shen Weiyue happy."

Everyone was dumbfounded, they never expected that Gong Hean would come up with such a way to coax Shen Weiyue.

Jiang Wanhe snorted coldly, "Fifty taels for a hairdo. Will you cause trouble when you leave the house after the hair is done?"

Jiang Wanhe saw that the big guys were silent, so he asked Hongsui to continue, "Go on."

"The second time was also a week ago. Master Jing discovered that Master He An was paying the bill for his fair-weather friends at the restaurant and kicked him into the lake. The young master returned home that day with a low fever and did not leave the house, but let Nan Xing..."

Gong Hean was kicked into the lake by his cousin?And this thing?
Jiang Wanhe only found out now.

Madam Fu asked, "What do you want him to do?"

"Let Nanxing take 100 taels to Tianqi Restaurant to pay for all the individual customers eating and drinking on the first floor."

Everyone: .
It is understandable to spend money on Shen Weiyue, but there must be something wrong with Gong Hean when he squanders 100 taels on an outsider! (End of chapter)
