Chapter 23 Master Help!

Chapter 23 Master Help!

Mu Xuerou just knew that what Xia Houlian recalled was Rongli, there was no reason, so she interrupted him immediately, did Xiahoulian really like Rongli?

After the meal, Xia Houxian sent Mu Xuerou back to the yard, and rested in the yard, Mu Xuerou felt a little relieved, but Rong Li became a thorn in her flesh after all, and she had to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Mu Xuerou originally thought that what happened today was bad enough, but she didn't expect that there would be even more disturbing things the next day.

The next day, Xia Houxian went to court, and when she was dressing up, the maid outside the door came to report that the stewards were looking for her, Mu Xuerou nodded, and sent the maid down, after finishing dressing, she supported Bi Yi hand came to the vestibule.

She is in charge of everything, and usually when they come here, they use Rongli's money to honor her. The money is not much, but she is happy to receive it. The palace gives Rongli more monthly allowances than her. Naturally, Mu Xuerou is not happy, and some people make things difficult for her. Rongli, she couldn't wish for it.

It's just that Mrs. Lin was just found out about that matter yesterday, and now these stewards are looking for her again. They really don't know how to choose the time. If they want to honor her, they won't live for a while. , Then her image is still necessary.

Mu Xuerou sat on the main seat with a sullen face, holding the hot tea that Biyi had brewed in her hand, covered the tea bowl to skim off the froth in the tea bowl, and did not speak.

Several stewards winked at each other and were about to speak when suddenly a man stumbled in from outside the door, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master, master, you need to save your servant!"

It was Mrs. Lin who came.

Mu Xuerou raised her eyebrows, and slapped the table vigorously, "What are you yelling about in the early morning? If you have something to say, talk about it, how decent it is!"

Mrs. Lin was so frightened that she cried a little less. She didn't dare to annoy the master. If she was left alone, she would have nothing to do. go up."

It turned out to be this matter, Mu Xuerou also heard about it last night, didn't it just embezzle some money from her, and even asked the servants for money, did she look like a princess, "Isn't it just the money? Look at you Scared, tell me how much worse it is.”

Mu Xuerou wanted to help Mrs. Lin to settle the matter first. After all, she is her own person, and it would not look good if she went to the government. Every month, Mrs. Lin pays her filial piety, which is not good for her at all. It's nothing, it's just that it's cheap and easy to leave this time.

When the steward below heard the matter, his heart was in his stomach, and the master still took care of them.

Look, as soon as Mrs. Lin said that she was short of money, the master was ready to make up for it without saying a word. They followed a good master.

"It's still 280 taels short..." Mrs. Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect the master to ask her directly how much the difference was, and it seemed that he was going to help her make it up.

"What?!" Mu Xuerou's voice was an octave higher, she put the tea heavily on the table, pointed at Miss Lin, "Are you crazy about money?"

"I don't dare, my servant doesn't dare. Yesterday, the concubine asked my servant to pay back 300 taels of silver, but my servant returned home and took out all the silver, only 20 taels, my servant... I really have no choice but to do this!"

"300 taels? How come there are so many?" Mu Xuerou frowned, how did Rongli calculate?

When Mrs. Lin brought Rongli to the kitchen yesterday, Mu Xuerou gritted her teeth in her heart when she told about how to catch her and how to settle the accounts, I wish you Rongli!
It seemed that she had premeditated it, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Lin was arrested and transferred to the cleaning room. She was useless to him, so did he have to spend money to protect such a person?

"Miss Lin, you should know how much money you have given to my concubine. 300 taels is not a decimal, and this concubine is not a bank, so I just take it out if I say so." Mu Xuerou picked up the teacup again, the meaning was very clear, she couldn't control it .

"Master! Master! You can't just ignore your servant," Mrs. Lin rolled and crawled to Mu Xuerou's feet, dragging her dress and weeping bitterly, "Your servant is devoted to your master, you can't abandon your servant!"

"Get out!" Mu Xuerou kicked Miss Lin aside, she fell to the ground and was not discouraged, she continued to get up and grabbed the corner of Mu Xuerou's skirt.

Seeing such a scene, the stewards couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. They thought Concubine Rou would help them, but who knew that she didn't plan to take care of them now. It's not a day or two for her to do things for her. Now that something happened, they would be kicked Kick it away, how can it not be chilling.

The others didn't stand by the side and didn't make a sound like they did just now. If Mrs. Lin's money master didn't give it, then they probably wouldn't be able to get it.

After a few thuds, the stewards all knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in unison, "Master, please help!"

"What are you doing?" Mu Xuerou looked at the people on the ground in astonishment, she thought they were pleading for Mrs. Lin.

"Master, I also beg you to pay me some money." Liu Liang spoke first, and the other stewards also said the same thing.

Mu Xuerou had a bad feeling in her heart, "What do you mean?"

The stewards then reported how much money they had received from the princess, how much they should pay back, except for what they could fill in, and reported it all to Mu Xuerou to know.

Mu Xuerou sat in the main seat, and the more she listened to the anger, the more the stewards reported their accounts, they found that Mu Xuerou was silent, they didn't understand what Mu Xuerou meant.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and they felt that the master didn't intend to take care of them anymore, so they said bravely, "Master, you guys really have no choice but to bother the master, if the master is really nervous about money, you little ones We can only go and beg the prince."

"Heh," Mu Xuerou sneered, clutching the corner of the table with her hands, her knuckles turned white, "Are you threatening me?"

"You guys don't dare." They said they didn't dare, but they were actually threatening Mu Xuerou. She wanted to maintain a perfect image in front of the prince, so naturally she didn't dare to let them go to the prince. The image will surely disappear.

Mu Xuerou took a few deep breaths before suppressing her anger. They just happened to pinch her life, and today the money cannot be saved.

"What are all the stewards doing kneeling on the ground? Please get up quickly." Mu Xuerou took a deep breath and slowly leaned back on the chair, "You are in trouble, of course my concubine wants to help. Biyi, tell someone to Stewards serve tea."

"Yes." The leader of Bi Yi ordered to go out to give instructions, when the steward came, all the servants in the hall wanted to go out, only Bi Yi was left to serve by his side.

"Lady Lin, get up too. My concubine didn't say I won't save you. Why are you crying like this?" Mu Xuerou smiled and helped Mrs. Lin up. It would be fine if she was alone. If she doesn't care, she may really make trouble in front of Xia Houlian.

A few maidservants brought tea, and after they went down, Mu Xuerou asked each of the stewards to show her the bills they had to pay, and after looking at them carefully, she ordered Bi Yi to fetch the silver and settle the bills for them one by one.
