The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily
Chapter 67: Filling the Dowry and Cutting Expenses
"Do you know how terrifying the Bodhisattva is at night?"
"I……"
Xiao Chongjing opened his mouth with a guilty look on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He was just too anxious to restore Yin Xiaorou's looks at the time and didn't think too much about it... and his sister has always been carefree and heartless, who would have thought that she actually had so many thoughts in her mind?
"Is this why you betray your own people?"
Suddenly, Madam Xi spoke.
Her temples were gray, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Even if I neglected you due to my health, I am your biological mother. How can I harm you?"
"You don't hurt me, but you don't care about me either." Xiao Qintang said aggrievedly: "In the entire general's mansion, no one actually cares about me..."
"I don't care about you?"
Being told this by her own daughter, Old Lady Xi felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing her heart.
She took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, just assume that I don't care about you. What about Lu Yitong? Does he care about you?"
"Of course he cares about me!"
"idiot!"
Old Madam Xi was extremely angry.
Seeing that her daughter was still stubborn, she asked more bluntly: "Are you sure he cares about you? Does he care about you or your identity?"
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Qintang said stubbornly: "Don't say that Brother Lu is not that kind of person at all. Even if he is, so what? Isn't my identity also a part of me?
Don’t those people who are of equal status to me value my status?
They're interested in it, too, right?
Since I'm interested in all of them, why shouldn't I choose the one that suits my taste?
At least Brother Lu can promise to be devoted to me, and even if I become old and ugly, he won't suddenly bring a woman to disgust me."
"you……"
Old Madam Xi was speechless.
She was shocked that her daughter thought so much, but also regretted that her daughter was so naive.
I actually thought that marrying down would earn you undivided love...
How stupid.
But such a stupid daughter was born to her. Now that things have come to this, what else can she say?
She could only sigh helplessly, "What about your dowry? Now everyone thinks your dowry is a betrothal gift. When you get married, what will you use as your dowry?"
"If I don't have any, then I don't want a dowry." Xiao Qintang pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, whether there is a dowry or not, it won't stop Brother Lu from marrying me."
"nonsense!"
Madam Xi had a headache. "You can afford to lose this person, but can the Xiao family afford to lose this person? If it gets out that our Xiao family's daughter got married without a dowry, how can I face people in the future?!"
She glared at her daughter in dismay, then looked at Yin Xiaorou and sighed, "Hurry up and buy her something nice to fill her dowry. The wedding is coming soon, don't make it too shabby."
"This……"
Yin Xiaorou didn't expect this to happen.
She looked at Madam Xi, smiled awkwardly, and shook her head, "Madam, I don't have any money."
"No money? How can there be no money?"
Old Madam Xi frowned.
In the past, Ruan Yunluo would never tell her that he had no money.
"Is such that……"
Yin Xiaorou seized the opportunity and quickly reminded him, "Didn't you spend a lot of money recently on donating to an official position? Tens of thousands of taels, which has emptied the house. In addition to daily expenses and social interactions, the remaining savings must also be used to hold a wedding for the third young lady. When the time comes, the money must be kept for the banquet..."
"Okay, okay..."
Old Madam Xi felt heartbroken when she heard this.
She waved her hands, "I don't care what you do, but you have to have the proper dowry, the proper banquet, and the proper dignity. You can't let others laugh at you."
"But……"
"Don't tell me but, there is no but!"
Madam Xi interrupted forcefully, "Since you have taken over the housekeeper, these things are undoubtedly your responsibility. If you can't do it, it only shows that you are incompetent.
After all, when Yunluo was the housekeeper, he never complained about being poor in front of me."
"..."
Yin Xiaorou was speechless.
She wanted to say that Ruan Yunluo had a generous dowry to make up for the deficit, but she felt inexplicably humiliated.
Logically speaking, she was a princess and the emperor's daughter. Her status was much more noble than Ruan Yunluo's, and her dowry should have been much larger than Ruan Yunluo's.
But now, she has become a concubine!
She thought that by taking over the power of the housekeeper, her status would be slightly improved, and maybe she could take the opportunity to sideline the mistress Ruan Yunluo... Who would have thought that she would meet such a fool like Xiao Qintang just after taking over the housekeeper's position!
Not only did she get scolded for stealing the dowry, but she also had to clean up the mess!
She wants a dowry, a banquet and a decent appearance. Why don't you give her money? If she has no money, what nonsense is that? Can she make money out of nothing?
I shouldn't have taken this job!
Yin Xiaorou regretted it too late.
She walked out of the reception hall in a daze and unknowingly arrived at Suifeng Garden.
After standing at the gate of Suifeng Garden for a long time, she finally made up her mind that she must return the housekeeper power to Ruan Yunluo today!
But just as she was about to enter Suifeng Garden, she was stopped.
"Madame Wan."
Yin Xiaorou smiled and politely said hello, "I need to see Madam for something. Could you please let her know?"
"I'm afraid that won't work." Nanny Wan shook her head in embarrassment. "Our wife has caught a cold recently and doesn't want to see anyone."
"I have something important to do..." Seeing that she couldn't even see him, Yin Xiaorou became anxious, "Mammy, please tell Madam that I'm here to return the housekeeper's power."
"What do you mean by stewardship or not?"
Nanny Wan sighed, "Our Madam is seriously ill this time. It's still unclear whether she can survive. Why do you still care about these material possessions?"
"How is this possible? She was fine a while ago, how come she suddenly became ill? And she is so seriously ill..."
The more Yin Xiaorou thought about it, the more she felt something was not right.
She put all the recent events together, and suddenly her heart was shocked, "You guys didn't know about Xiao..."
"what do you know?"
Nanny Wan's heart tightened and she asked as if nothing had happened.
"No, it's nothing."
Yin Xiaorou shook her head.
She asked herself that she had no evidence and was unwilling to question based on a mere guess. If things were really as she thought, wouldn't it alert the enemy?
Don't try to kill the snake but end up getting bitten by it.
Thinking of this, she did not continue to pester him, but said very politely: "Since Madam is not convenient to see guests, Xiaorou will not force it. I hope Madam will recover soon. Xiaorou will be there at any time to return Madam's housekeeper rights."
"Aunt Yin is indeed kindhearted. I would like to thank her on behalf of my wife."
"It should."
Yin Xiaorou said this and was about to leave.
At this time, a little maid from Suifeng Garden ran out and whispered a few words quickly into Nanny Wan's ear.
When Nanny Wan heard this, she quickly called Yin Xiaorou.
She smiled, "Aunt Yin, our Madam has heard about what happened in the reception hall today. Madam said that she can't help you with anything in her current health. But if you really have no other options, you can follow Madam's old routine, and it shouldn't go wrong."
"Old rules?" Yin Xiaorou's eyes lit up. "What old rules?"
"It's actually very simple." Nanny Wan sighed, "There were times when the mansion was in financial difficulty before, and Madam would either use her own dowry to make up for it, or scrape together some money from here and there to cut down on the mansion's expenses..."
"Cut off the branch?" Yin Xiaorou widened her eyes in curiosity, "Cut off whose branch?"
