If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

"All as dowry?" Feng Yizheng sneered. Her grandmother had always favored the second wife, and she loved that distant cousin who suddenly showed up to her heart's content.

But the entire dowry? "That would be more than 100,000 taels? You have a big appetite."

"Yes, it is said to be nearly 200,000 taels." The servant added quietly from behind.

Ha, Feng Yizhen sneered again. He really didn't know whether to say that the cousin was too powerful or the old lady was too stupid. "How did you deal with it in the end?"

"Butler Feng led people to count the inventory, and took the account books and lists to recover the items one by one. Well, most of them were recovered. The old lady was confined to her house and no visits were allowed. My cousin accompanied her in the yard."

How could her grandfather keep her after such a situation? She was indeed a character. While labeling Zhou Jing in his heart, he also quickened his pace towards his own yard, because from a distance he had seen his mother's personal maid hurried over.

In the Ci'an Hall of Feng Mansion, in the house where Zhou Jing is.

"Did you see it clearly?" The girl who was combing her hair dropped the comb in her hand and turned around to ask anxiously.

"My cousin, I saw it with my own eyes. The eldest and third young masters are back. They just entered the mansion after noon today." The little girl looked at Zhou Jing's eyes that lit up instantly and she was so frightened that she broke out in a sweat.

Ever since that incident a few months ago, when she was almost kicked out of the house, the cousin's mental state has become a little crazy. Whenever she is unhappy with her, she will scold her at the very least, and it is common for her to get beaten at serious times.

"What do the two young masters look like?" Zhou Jing asked again with a gleam in her eyes.

When the little girl heard this, her face turned red.

"Come on, is your skin itchy again?"

"Well, they all look good, especially the eldest young master, who is becoming more and more like a master. The second young master is a little darker, and his eyes look fiercer when he looks at people." The little girl thought about the demeanor of the two young masters she had just seen hiding behind the tree, and her face turned even redder.

Like the eldest master, the figure and face of the head of the Feng family unconsciously emerged in his mind, especially the tenderness he inadvertently revealed towards Madam Feng, his heart could not help but feel warm.

"Go, keep a close eye on the two young masters. Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance. Be smart, okay?" Zhou Jing gathered his thoughts, looked at the little girl who was lowering her head not far away, and ordered in a bad tone.

In the following days, Zhou Jing behaved unusually active, dressing up beautifully and walking around the Feng Mansion every day, especially around the courtyards of the first and second houses. Her intentions were so obvious that few people in the Feng Mansion could not see it, causing the first and third wives to frown.

"Sister-in-law, look at this..." The two people had just come out of the warehouse after checking the New Year gifts, and when they looked up, they saw Zhou Jing hanging around in front of the door of the big house again.

The eldest lady's face immediately turned gloomy. Not to mention whether the family background was well matched, just looking at the person's character and behavior, there was no way he could enter his first room.

"There are a lot of things to do before the New Year. Once we are done with this busy period, we can spare the energy to deal with her."

After saying this with hatred, he turned around and took the third wife to another warehouse where New Year's goods were stored.

The second wife came out of the second house and looked at the two figures going away, her eyes red with jealousy. At this time of year in previous years, she was as glorious as she was now.

In the past, Madam Feng was the head of the household, and she was the one who took care of all the chores during the holidays. Now, my aunt has been confined by her father-in-law, and all household affairs have been given to the eldest lady. Now, not to mention being busy, she can't even get involved.

Without the power to manage the household, there would be no work, and naturally no benefits, which was what really hurt the Second Lady. In addition, the Second Master was not productive and was extravagant everywhere. Relying solely on the monthly allowance, the Second House's life was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

The Second Lady, who was worried that no one would listen to her complaints, turned around and saw Zhou Jing wandering in the yard. She was immediately delighted. She thought that this girl had a conscience. Unlike those servants who flattered others, she still wanted to come and see her at this time.

"Miss cousin," the second lady greeted loudly, "I'm here."

Zhou Jing had been wandering around the Feng Mansion for two days without meeting the two main characters. Just when she was getting anxious and irritated, she suddenly heard someone calling her. After that incident, the servants in the Feng Mansion changed their address to "Miss Zhou" instead of "Miss Cousin".

There was only one word difference, but the relationship was a world of difference. Although Miss Biao was not the real owner of Feng Mansion, she was also half the owner. Compared with "Miss Zhou" who had no relationship with her and was just living under someone else's roof, she was much better off.

The master not only had food and clothing, but also a monthly allowance. However, as a guest of the Feng Mansion, it was already a favor of the Feng Mansion to provide her with food and clothing. If she had not been smart and secretly hid some of the money she had received from Old Madam Feng before, and it had not been searched out, she would have been penniless now.

This was also the reason why she was anxious now. The feeling of living off one's savings made her feel insecure. This was not the most terrifying thing. What she was most worried about was that Feng Mansion would really send her back to her hometown one day.

She had been used to a life of luxury in Feng Mansion for the past few years. If she had to go back to a life of not having enough food to eat, it would be more painful than killing her. No, since Zhou Jing could walk out of that small village on her own, she could also stay here with her own ability.

Thinking of this, she quickly straightened her clothes, forced a smile on her face, and went to greet the Second Lady who kept waving at her. She had a Second Young Master in the second room.

"Second aunt," Zhou Jing enthusiastically took the second wife's arm, "I was worried that you were busy today. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

"No, no, no, since you can remember to come and see me, I have to put down my work no matter how busy I am, right?" The Second Madam patted her hands with a smile, "Come on, come on, come to my room and sit down. Shuang'er brought back some specialties from Liuzhou Prefecture, just in time for you to taste them."

"Okay, then Jing'er will respectfully obey your orders." The two of them turned around and went back to the second room, talking and laughing.

This time, Meixiang prepared a New Year gift for each master in each room of the mansion. The weather in winter is cold and things are easy to preserve, so she prepared some local snacks.

On the surface, the things brought back in the carriage were similar, but there were still some differences inside. For example, the first and third branches of the Feng family had an extra two or three hundred year old root and some excellent quality medicinal materials compared to the third branch.

Two hours later, Zhou Jing left the second room contentedly with the little girl carrying a bamboo basket. During this time, she got some very useful information from the second wife.

The masters and young masters of the second and third houses were surrounded by servants and had no chance to be alone. He turned his head and glanced at the second house behind him. With such a smart and easy-to-fool-and-control lady, well, life in the future should be much more comfortable.
