Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Bai'an took Wu Yue and the sacrificial priest, and parted ways with Yun Hanyi halfway.

On the way, the emotions of May and Sacrifice eased a lot.

Xia Bai'an took out a small abacus from under the carriage, typed it cracklingly, and told Wu Yue.

"Your family sacrificed to your mother-in-law for the sake of wine, and you spent 200 taels of silver back and forth."

"..."

At about May, he froze in place.

The sacrificial mother-in-law also opened her eyes wide, holding Wuyue's hand trembling uncontrollably: "200 taels, this, how long should we wait..."

Xia Bai'an smiled and waved his hands: "Not much, not much, just ask your family to sell me for 20 or [-] years."

The corners of May's mouth sank.

The sacrificial mother-in-law was full of anxiety, she pulled Wu Yue distressedly, and looked at Xia Bai'an.

"Wu Yue has been a slave since she was a child. If... if she is a slave for another ten or twenty years in your hands, madam, wouldn't she not own her for the rest of her life?"

Wu Yue said: "It's nothing, mother-in-law, they all treat me very well."

"That's a slave too!" The sacrificial mother-in-law gave Wu Yue a look.

May bowed her head aggrieved.

On the contrary, Xia Bai'an took advantage of the opportunity and put the little abacus back under the chair: "One yard is worth one yard. Your tribe has been destroyed, but the culprit can't be found. It's really pitiful. But the money in my hand is not blown by the strong wind. If you If you want to redeem yourself, use your own hands to make money."

"The sacrificial mother-in-law is too old to do things. I can pay for her. She keeps watch on May night and works for the mansion during the day. There must be double the money, but..."

Xia Bai'an prolonged the sound on purpose.

May was curious: "But what?"

"But this way of making money, you still won't be able to get ahead in more than ten years. Why don't you learn something and work for me to make money?"

"Working to make money?" May was at a loss.

"I'm going to bring some things to do business near the capital. You have no relatives and no reason, and I believe you have a clean background. When the time comes, I hope you and my mother-in-law will be my right and left hands." Xia Bai'an immediately looked at the sacrificial mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law is The Tuya people can also speak the language of the Li country, so I wonder if there is anything related to the language outside the frontier?"

Only now did the sacrificial mother-in-law hear what Xia Bai'an meant.

She thought about it seriously: "I will."

"This ability can also repay the debt, so it's settled. When the time comes, I will start a business, and you two will help me make money to redeem myself. After that, it's up to you to decide whether to stay or not."

After Xia Bai'an finished speaking, he ordered people to go to the Jinshang Pavilion to buy some clothes for the sacrificial mother-in-law.

The sacrificial mother-in-law also refused: "This... this must be paid back."

"I'm not some unscrupulous boss, the employee uniforms are given away for free, no money."

With a wave of his hand, Xia Bai'an not only bought her mother-in-law's clothes, but also bought a whole set of clothes for the servants at home.

If it wasn't for my mother-in-law's reminder.

She has almost integrated into this era, and really sees those people as servants.

Looking back now, she only wanted to hire people, but she didn't want to treat those people as slaves.

At least, she can't do the same things as other nobles.

Thinking of this, Xia Bai'an went to find Wang Mang and Li Fugui again.

The two of them thought that the matter of knocking down the gold before was brought to light. Wang Mang bowed his head seriously and apologized: "What happened last time was that the person we were looking for was too strong. I didn't expect a box..."

"It's not that."

Xia Bai'an waved his hands again and again.

Only then did Wang Mang slowly raise his head: "What's the matter?"

"There is an old woman among the servants at home, but the room where the servants live is narrow and small, not very transparent. I want to ask you to find a mason to go to the house together to make the room more spacious and comfortable to live in."

"what?"

Wang Mang was stunned for a long time.

It was Li Fugui next to him who was much smarter, and he kept pushing him: "If you have work, you can take it. Don't you care where the walls of other people's houses go?"

"Dogs bark."

Wang Mang gave him a hard look.

On the contrary, Xia Bai'an was overjoyed, and followed suit: "That's right, but there is still a vacant house at home, so don't worry about it. Once you find someone, come directly to the house. We'll talk about money later."

After finishing speaking, Xia Bai'an remembered that he asked two people to do some work before, and then returned, and handed over the money that he helped earlier.

"remuneration."

She blinked playfully, then turned and left.

While Wang Mang held the broken silver in his hand, Xia Bai'an's smiling face just now came to his mind.

Li Fugui who was next to him quickly slapped him: "My mother, he not only has money but also has a husband, how dare you imagine..."

"Damn it!"

When Wang Mang heard this, he kicked him.

Li Fugui yelled after being kicked, and didn't dare to say anything more, just shouted: "This kind of woman is a goblin!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wang Mang kicked him hard, but it seemed that he was denying the picture in his mind.

……

Xia Bai'an returned to Xia Mansion.

I haven't seen Mo Che yet, but I saw Mo Yongming and Mo Xu sitting in the hall.

As soon as Mo Yongming saw Xia Bai'an, he warmly greeted him: "Miss Xia... Oh no, Mrs. Mo."

Xia Bai'an took a few steps back again and again.

Mo Yongming took some time to stand there in a little embarrassment.

And Xia Bai'an asked: "Mr. Mo doesn't have to be so enthusiastic. You came to our Xia Mansion, but what's the matter? Did something happen to the second young lady's face?"

"Don't Mrs. Mo know?"

Mo Xu on the side suddenly said, "Because our Mo family helped Lin Qingya, the emperor gave us a promotion, and I don't have to be a jailer anymore, I can go to work in the courtyard."

"That's right, we just got the news that it was Prime Minister and Mrs. Mo who spoke for us, but it was not convenient to go directly to the Prime Minister's residence, so we came to Xia's residence to express our thanks."

Mo Yongming helped answer the call, and suddenly raised his hand.

Xia Bai'an was nearby, thinking that he was going to hit him, he took two steps back, but heard the sound of messy footsteps.

In the yard, more than a dozen servants from the Mo Mansion actually brought in several wooden boxes and put them on the ground with a few bangs.

"Open."

Mo Yongming raised his chin slightly.

Several servants opened the wooden cabinet in unison.

Glittering gold.

Xia Bai'an was actually dazzled, she stared at those gold, silver and jewels for a long time, her throat rolling.

I am a mother.

Although the Mo family is down and out, there is indeed a lot of money, at least a few thousand taels.

The servants in the Xia Mansion had never seen so much money, and they all exclaimed.

Just when Xia Bai'an was about to speak, a clear voice came from outside: "Take it back."

Xia Bai'an turned her head when she heard the words, and saw Mo Che walking towards her with a cold face, passing by her, and said in a low voice, "The Mo family's money is all dirty money."
