C63 (2/2)
looked at the defeated Grand Madam, and could not help but let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart. The Grand Madam's treatment of him was far inferior to his big brother and second brother, and this was something he had known since he was young.
After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't know how to choose. ”Mother, you're really making things difficult for me, I …”
”You can leave. I'll wait for you to decide when to come back and answer me.” Grand Madam waved his hand and said weakly: ”I hope this old woman can still hold on!”
Lin Pei's mouth moved, when the words reached his mouth, he did not know how to say them.
Nanny Chen stepped forward and said softly, ”Please, Fifth Master, please rest.”
Lin Pei finally got down from the ground. Only, when he walked out of the Green Pine Academy gate, he didn't know where to go. Originally, he rested at the Falling Swallow Garden everyday, but Falling Swallow Garden now, he didn't even want to think about it anymore.
After thinking for a moment, he walked in the direction of Fanghua Garden.
At this time, Madam Lian was still looking at the account book. The abacus on the desk was ringing loudly, and she gave an order with her mouth: ”… Over the past few months, there has been a one-third decrease in income over the past few months. I'm afraid that the shopkeeper has already filled his pockets to the brim. If I don't change my shopkeeper, I'm afraid within a few months, the shop will not be able to survive. ”
The old woman who came to answer was a bit timid. ”This new shopkeeper is …” It was sent over by the Second Madam. They said that it was originally because they were in charge of marrying the Second Madam, and that they were being honest, that's why the Grand Madam agreed to it. ”
Although she was currently working under the Fifth Madam, the one who was in charge of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was still the Grand Madam.
”If Grand Madam blames him, all you have to do is say that it was my idea. I had originally planned to use the shopkeeper for a few more days, but Second Sister's marriage manager was even more powerful, I'm afraid that he would rely on Second Sister to think of herself as extraordinary, and in the future, if something were to really happen, I'm afraid that it would already be too late!”
~ This Second Madam's Supervisor, I'm afraid he has never cared about this matter? After all, the Second Madam didn't have anything to marry!
The old lady trembled in fear. When she lifted the curtain, she saw Lin Pei standing straight at the door. She immediately shouted: ”Fifth Master!”
Lin Pei nodded and went in.
Madam Lian only raised his head to look at him once before lowering his head. Even her voice was indifferent, ”Master, you have returned.”
These words were as if Lin Pei had just left in the morning.
Lin Pei nodded and sat down in front of the desk. He looked at Madam Lian carefully, as if he had never seen Madam Lian before, ever since they were married.
Now, from the looks of it, although Madam Lian was not considered well off, he still had a dignified and dignified appearance. Her thick black eyebrows gave off a heroic vibe, and now that the white jade abacus had been broken by her, it was most likely that it had followed Madam Lian for many years, and many abacus beads had already cracked.
When she was young, she knew how to write, and when she was just ten years old, she already started following her father to take charge of the shop, and that was when she could barely write. Originally, the Lian Family had also invited her for a female teacher, but she felt that no matter what kind of painting it was, it was far from being as interesting as doing business.
In her opinion, these were all just embroidery pillows. How could it compare to the fact that she had received money from the flow of real money into her purse …
Lin Pei finally could not hold it in and opened his mouth: ”I, have something to say to you!”
The movements of the Madam Lian's men paused, and they nodded towards Peony. Peony then brought all the servants in the house away, she then said: ”I wonder if Master has anything to say to me?” In truth, he had already guessed that Lin Pei did not like him, and was afraid that he had come for the Princess Changze.
Lin Pei took a sip of tea from the Tea Gu beside him and spoke out the words that he had been brewing for a long time, ”I want to be at peace with you.”
