The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 43 Whoever manages the money will be flattered

What's even more outrageous is that the Crown Prince's wife is still forced to take on these messy housekeeping tasks even though the poison has not yet been cleared up.

Therefore, those old women who were waiting to receive monthly wages and embroidery rooms all believed that it was the Duchess's wife who was deliberately targeting the Crown Prince's wife and that it was the Duchess's wife who was bullying the Crown Prince's wife because of her humble background.

Mrs. Du did indeed do so, but she didn't want others to think so.

She immediately smiled and took Lu Yi's hand, saying with concern: "It's really mother's fault. Mother only thought about her own illness and didn't care about you. She also thought that you were out of the house every day and should be fine, so she didn't ask you again."

Although Lu Yi said earlier that she went out to see a doctor, Mrs. Du deliberately said that she went out of the house every day. Since she was poisoned, she should just rest at home and take medicine. If she goes out of the house every day, doesn't that mean that you, Lu Yi, are not seriously ill at all?

Lu Yi said, "Mother, you don't know. The doctor said that Yi'er's poison cannot be cured by just taking medicine. She needs bloodletting to completely remove the remaining poison. The old doctor is a reclusive person and refused to follow me back to the Duke's Mansion. Yi'er had no choice but to drag her sick body to see the doctor every day."

Lu Yi even admired herself for being so good at talking nonsense.

Da Qing suddenly covered her mouth, sobbed, and said, "Madam, the doctor said that you can't be hungry, tired, annoyed, or angry when you are poisoned. Otherwise, the poison will easily attack your heart and your life may be in danger!"

Mrs. Du was so angry that Meijuan could feel her trembling even when she was holding her arm.

She knew best what kind of poison Lu Yi had been poisoned with. The poison had only been administered for three days, and in a small amount, which would guarantee that she would not die within a year.

How could it be as serious as this slut said?

You can't do this or that, are you going to worship her?

Lu Yi nodded and said, "The doctor did say that, but I am the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and I have to work hard with heavy responsibilities."

After saying this, he looked at Mrs. Du and said, "Mother, please give me the banknotes for withdrawing money quickly so that I can arrange the monthly interest for each room. If you take it this time, you won't have to bother me again in the future."

With so many servants watching, the censor's wife who was standing next to him must have heard Da Qing's loud shouting just now.

If Mrs. Du doesn't give him a fight now, Lu Yi will definitely make trouble again as soon as he leaves the yard.

Mrs. Du could only bear it and said, "Okay."

Then he ordered Meijuan: "Meijuan, go and give the pair of cards for withdrawing the monthly interest to the Crown Prince's wife."

Soon the pair of cards came into Lu Yi's hands.

Lu Yi deliberately asked in front of everyone: "Mother, the accountant will not disapprove this time, right?"

Mrs. Du forced herself to smile and said, "Don't worry, Yi'er, it won't happen again."

Lu Yi handed the pair of cards to Da Qing and said, "Mother, let's go first and go to the account office to withdraw money."

After walking two steps, she seemed to remember the matter of the embroidery room. She said, "Oh, mother, I almost forgot. There is also the matter of the embroidery room. Mother, I am not in good health now. I only need to take care of Yueli. I really don't have the energy to do other things, so I won't take care of other things."

Before Mrs. Du could answer, Lu Yi said, "If mother feels too busy, why not ask one of the concubines to help take care of it? Yi'er will take her leave now."

Lu Yi left after saying this, completely disregarding what Mrs. Du thought.

Mrs. Du looked at the old women and felt a headache when she thought that it was already September 11th and there were still so many things that had not been dealt with.

Lu Yi didn't care whether she had a headache or not.

After withdrawing the money from the accounting office, he immediately distributed the monthly interest to each room and courtyard.

I originally thought it was just a job that would be passed from her hands to someone else, but I didn't expect that in the afternoon the kitchen would deliver completely different meals to me.

The maid who brought the food smiled flatteringly and said, "I heard that Madam has been bleeding to detoxify recently. Madam is really suffering. This fresh black fish soup is a gift from the kitchen to you. Black fish soup is good for healing wounds."

Lu Yi glanced at Da Qing.

Da Qing quickly poured out a small bowl of black fish soup, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Drink it!"

How could that old woman be qualified to drink such precious black fish soup?

But now this bowl of soup is right next to my mouth.

Lu Yi said, "It's okay, drink it quickly. From now on, as long as you bring me food, you will have your share of the delicious food and drinks."

The old woman narrowed her eyes and said happily, "Okay, okay, thank you, Madam!"

After saying that, he drank the soup in two gulps.

It tastes so good!

The maid put away the bowl, bowed to Lu Yi, and said, "Madam, my name is Xiuzhi. From now on, please tell me what you want to eat. I will go back and tell the chef to make it for you."

Lu Yi originally wanted to ask why the kitchen staff was suddenly so attentive to her.

Da Qing said, "Madam, drink the soup while it's hot."

Lu Yi sat down and Da Qing served her a bowl of soup.

The old woman bowed and said, "Madam, I will take my leave now."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

The old woman smiled so enthusiastically and flattered her so much, so of course Lu Yi gave her a good look and said, "Okay, you go back first."

As soon as the old woman left, Da Qing took out a silver needle and tested all the remaining food. Finding that there was no poison, he felt relieved and served the food to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi realized belatedly that Da Qing had given the old woman the soup to test whether it was poisonous.

Looking at the busy Daqing, Lu Yi said, "Daqing, you can eat with us. You don't have to serve me the food."

Da Qing said, "Madam, the rules cannot be broken. You are the master and I am the servant. How can I sit down to eat with the master? It is not reasonable for the servant to eat alone while the master is still eating."

Lu Yi stopped talking, but she left most of the food for Da Qing.

In the past few days, she has discovered that Daqing has a big appetite.

Probably because of practicing martial arts and doing physical work all the time.

When Lu Yi was full, she told Da Qing to eat quickly. Then she drank tea and said to Da Qing, "Da Qing, the people in the kitchen have become so strange all of a sudden. Is it that Mrs. Du is up to something again?"

Da Qing said, "Madam, it's probably because you are in charge of the monthly profits of each house and courtyard. This is how the world works. People will try to please whoever is in charge of the money."

Lu Yi said: "So that's how it is."

Although Zhan Shixuan was not in the mansion, he was always thinking about Lu Yi. After knowing that Lu Yi knew nothing about the affairs of the housekeeper in the rear house, he instructed Daqing, Xiaoqing, He Qingshu and others to teach Lu Yi these things as soon as possible.

Daqing was responsible for writing a letter to tell He Qingshu what Lu Yi did in the mansion during the day.

When Lu Yi goes to the shop, she will see something similar to her situation.

He Qingshu was responsible for on-the-spot teaching and analyzing the situation for Lu Yi.
