After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

After the expenses were reduced, the old people in the villages west of Beijing really started to make trouble.

Many of them take medicine all year round. Now that they have less money, they naturally can’t afford the medicine.

After a few days, some people couldn't stand it anymore, and more than a dozen people came to the gate of the palace making a lot of noise.

"Damn you! When we followed the old prince through thick and thin, you bastards didn't even know where you were?"

"Call the old lady out and ask her to explain clearly whether the old prince thinks we are a burden and has ordered us to live or die?"

"If this is really the old prince's order, let's go now and hang ourselves on the city gate tower!"

Butler Chen was at a loss for words after being disturbed by the crowd, so he had to use Xiao Yunxi's name to calm the situation, and shouted: "My fellow soldiers, this is all decided by the princess, I am just following her orders."

"You're talking nonsense! The princess has always been considerate of us. She gives us rewards during festivals and even buys us extra cotton clothes in winter..."

"In this mansion, the princess is the only one who is sensible and righteous. If you say anything bad about the princess again, I will beat you so hard that your wife won't even recognize you!"

Housekeeper Chen was getting very worried. Seeing that they were getting more and more angry and their words were getting more and more unpleasant, he had no choice but to pull Zhang San, who was making the most noise, aside and whispered, "It really has nothing to do with the princess. It was the prince's order. He wants to support the new cousin of the Lin family in the mansion, so he can only reduce the expenses of other places..."

"A married woman must obey her husband. The princess has no choice. Even if she supports you in her heart, it is not easy for her to openly confront the prince."

"You also know that since the marriage, the prince has never been kind to the princess. You should understand the princess's difficulties."

When Zhang San heard this, he became so angry that he lost his mind.

"Where did this little whore come from? What Lin's cousin? From the old prince to the prince, there has never been a relative with the surname Lin in the Lu family for eight generations!"

Someone nearby knew about the joke Lu Jingting had made six years ago. When they heard Zhang San's scolding, they immediately realized that this cousin of the Lin family was the maid Lin Wan'er who had climbed into his bed that year.

"Fuck you! For a slut who climbed into bed, he wants to make us soldiers who fought with the old prince go hungry, wear warm clothes and drink medicine just for him. He is such a coward!"

"Let's write a letter in blood, hand it to Jingzhao Yin, and then hang ourselves on the city gate tower!"

Butler Chen was overwhelmed.

"My dear soldiers, please be patient, please come in and have a cup of tea. I will go and invite the old lady, okay?"

Seeing more and more people gathering in front of the door to watch the fun, Butler Chen was afraid that the impact would be too great, so he coaxed and tricked these people into the front yard.

"Madam, madam, something bad has happened..." Lin Wan'er ran into Shou'an Hall with an anxious look on her face.

"What a flustered person!" The old lady felt uncomfortable just looking at Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "Old Madam, please get a doctor to see Ze'er. His wrist hurt so much the past two days that he couldn't even hold up chopsticks. This morning he even complained of dizziness and chest tightness, and now he can't even get up from the bed!"

This shocked the old lady. Even if she disliked Ze'er, he was still her first great-grandson, even though he was born out of wedlock.

The old lady hurriedly asked Nanny Li to go over and take a look.

Nanny Li ran all the way, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she came back and reported, "Ze'er has been lying in bed, complaining of headaches and stomachaches, and he can't even open his eyes."

"Quick! Go get some doctors, get more!"

"This old slave saves!"

Lin Wan'er cried miserably, "Madam, Ze'er has been as strong as a calf since he was a child and has never been sick. Could it be..."

The old lady looked at her coldly, "What? Shut up. Even if Ze'er really has an accident, it's you, his mother, who will go down to accompany him!"

Lin Waer was so frightened that she trembled and dared not continue speaking.

The old lady turned around and ordered Yuanyang to call all the maids, servants, old women and servants who served Ze'er over and personally interrogated them: "Why did Ze'er suddenly fall ill? Did you not serve him well enough and he caught a cold at night?"

The servants were so frightened that their legs went limp and they kept kowtowing, "We dare not!"

"Then how did he get sick? Siqi, tell me!"

Siqi kowtowed vigorously and choked up, "Madam, ever since I was ordered by the princess to serve Ze Ge'er, I have been doing my best and working day and night without interruption."

The servant kneeling behind Siqi whispered: "....Brother is probably too tired..."

"What?! He collapsed from exhaustion? How could a five or six-year-old kid collapse from exhaustion?!"

The old lady didn't believe it. Isn't it just learning to read with Xiao Yunxi? How tiring can it be?

Lin Waer's eyes flashed with a trace of pleasure. He bowed deeply to the old lady and said, "Old lady, please make the decision."

"What do you want to say again?!" The old man looked at her impatiently.

Lin Wan'er raised her head and looked at the old lady. "Ze'er said that the princess asked them to tie sandbags on their wrists every day and write horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes non-stop for an hour!"

The old lady was shocked and blurted out, "Tie a rock on your wrist?! Aren't the things you learn when you first get started learning things like the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic?"

The old lady’s family’s ancestors ran an escort company. Later, they followed the late emperor in his campaigns and were granted the title of Marquis. They could barely be considered a family of military generals.

She herself could only read a few words and could look at account books. She even learned the etiquette and rules privately from the maids in the palace.

Lin Wan'er looked at the old lady's shocked expression and felt very happy. "Old lady, Wan'er has never heard of a teacher teaching students to write in this way."

The old lady heard the gloating in her tone and said unhappily, "You have been a slave in the mansion since you were a child. You can't even read a few words. What knowledge can you have?!"

Lin Wan'er choked and lowered her head in embarrassment.

The old lady thought for a moment, then turned around and told Li Ma, "Go and invite the gentlemen from the accounting office over."

After a while, the three gentlemen came to Shou'an Hall.

At the old lady's signal, Nanny Li stepped forward to explain the reason.

Two gentlemen immediately reported back that this method of practicing calligraphy was unheard of. Another gentleman frowned, as if thinking.

"this..."

"Mr. Jiang, please feel free to speak."

"Madam, when I was young, I once heard from my teacher in the academy that there is such a method, which is said to have been created by Grand Master Xiao. But the process is very difficult, and it will take at least ten years to achieve success."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, gentlemen. Please go down!"

Sure enough, Yun Xi did not let her down!

Although the three gentlemen were puzzled, they also knew that it was better not to ask too much about the affairs of the inner house, so they left immediately.

When Lin Wan'er heard Mr. Jiang's answer, she knew something bad was going to happen. She immediately patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, otherwise the princess would have been wrongly accused."
