“It better be that way” Gu Fangzi sneered and said, “If not, dying a horrible death is for certain, and it will be even worse than being struck by lightning!”
Lan Xiang’s body stiffened and she did not dare to speak as her head reht, Nanny Li returned with news, “This old servant isn’t very close with the servants fros However, this old servant heard that last night, Nanny Gui fell down and twisted her waist as she alking back fro back ended up spilling all over After that, Miss Gu visited Ji Cui Tower and brought desserts She then instructed Lan Xiang to cook a bowl of noodles for the third family When she left, it was Third Old Mistress who saw her off!”
Nanny Li pouted her lips and was even usted She took an instant dislike towards Third Old Mistress shi+ Froether; Third Old Mistress shi+ was definitely not a good person!
Of course, unlike Liu Ya, she would never criticize the masters, and even if she did, she would only do so in her heart
Sang Wan immediately took notice of what Nanny Li said, “So what Nanny is saying is that Miss Gu went to Ji Cui Tower last night?”
“Right!” Nanny Li lips twitched and she said, “I don’t knohat she’s playing at! But whatever it is, Miss Gu’s existence inherently clashes with yours Nothing good comes when it involves her! This old servant is really curious about what Miss Gu told Third Old Mistress Just how did she —— how did she e to make use of Third Old Mistress!”
Not only was Nanny Li bewildered, even Sang Wan was too Although there was notWan to tell that Third Old Mistress shi+ was not someone who could be easily fooled, or easily ht before doing anything Even with all that, she was still unhappy towards Sang Wan It was clear that Sang Wan must have offended her in some way!
But she did not knohat it was that she did to offend her
“Young Mistress, since Third Old Mistress wants a sed for her quickly! This would save a lot of our effort, and avoid Young Mistress’s efforts going unappreciated!” Nanny Li sighed softly
Sang Wan nodded, “Alright then! But ould have thought that such a thing had happened last night? Have it arranged i!”
Nanny Li accepted and the night went by peacefully
Third Old Mistress shi+ thought that Sang Wan would coht came and still no one came Third Old Mistress shi+ beca rude! Little did she know that her actions had offended her big sister-in-law, and her big sister-in-law had instructed Sang Wan to ignore thisWan naturally did so as there was no point in clashi+ng with her direct mother-in-law to please her aunt
Third Old Mistress shi+ was so angry that she went and complained to Third Old Master shi+, “For all these years that eren’t ho every year Lord, should we talk to Fengju about this, and ask to have a look at the finances?”
“What are you up to?” Third Old Master shi+’s tone sunk and his face became cold
Third Old Mistress shi+ said rudely, “What else? Of course to check on the behind our backs! Our hearts will be more at ease if we check those books and that will also remind them of our presence!”
Third Old Master shi+ stared at his wife and re his weird stare, Third Old Mistress shi+ felt unnerved by his penetrative gaze and could not help but glare back at hi at ht to check the household’s finances! If they don’t allow us to do so, then so!”
“Wait forto show you” shi+ Third Old Master went into his small study room and took out two pieces of folded yellow paper before passing it to Third Old Mistress shi+
Third Old Mistress shi+ took thees of two shops, one a silk shop and the other a cosmetic shop, she quickly went to look at their address They were both located at the heart of the city and were not small in size She immediately became elated and smiled at Third Old Master shi+, “When did you buy the the while, there’s no e can spend our days depending on just the portion of the household funds that we get With these two properties to bring us an income, ill be able to live h money to reward the servants on nor poor?
“Ai!” shi+ Third Old Master let out a long sigh unwittingly, and looked at her as he said, “You know, these two days, us threeat Second Brother’s place Fengju already said that we can check the finance books anyti unclear, we can just ask the accountant or hiave them to me privately He said that the First family and Second family both have their own private properties outside, and we don’t have that because eren’t at hoave us two of his own shops, and said that it will let us use our money more comfortably in the future! Dear, ere in Sichuan, which year did the household not send us thousands of silvers? But what have we done for the household? There are some words you can say to ju, think of how hurt he would be! Fengju, that child, is very honest, just like Big Brother We, as their elders, should beand treat them better!”
