After Meng Qianqian and her group left, the house was in a mess.

Luoluo helped Lin Wan'er up with tears in her eyes, complaining bitterly: "How could they treat the young lady like this? The young lady is the general's woman after all... Moreover, the young lady is pregnant... Aren't they afraid that the general will wake up and chase them out of the mansion? In my opinion, the eldest young lady deliberately took advantage of the general's coma to torture the young lady! She is so vicious!"

Lin Wan'er sat on the chair, her chest heaving violently, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

Meng Qianqian has always had a nonchalant attitude towards Fengyuan. Even though she later cut off Fengyuan's funding, she never embarrassed Lin Wan'er in person.

Meng Qianqian did slap Lin Wan'er in the shop, but that was outside.

Therefore, even Luluo believed that Meng Qianqian would never dare to be rude to Lin Wan'er in the mansion.

Meng Qianqian's actions today were undoubtedly telling Lin Wan'er that she did not want to fight with Lin Wan'er, not because she did not dare, but because she disdained to do so.

After returning to Haitang Courtyard, Meng Qianqian asked Banxia to bring three money bags as rewards to the three servants in Song Courtyard and Feng Courtyard.

The three of them were overjoyed holding their heavy bags of money.

Banxia said: "As long as you work diligently for the Madam, you won't suffer any loss!"

Mrs. Wan held the money bag and said with a smile, "Miss Banxia, ​​even if there is no reward, we have to serve the eldest young lady wholeheartedly!"

Mrs. Hu said, "That's right! Who in the mansion doesn't envy the servants who come to Haitang Courtyard? To be honest with the Madam, my husband wants to come and serve the Madam!"

Mrs. Liu said, "Yes! Madam, if you have any instructions in the future, just call on me!"

What the three of them said were all true. When the eldest young lady first married into the Lu family, she was just a child less than twelve years old, and the one who really ran the house was the old lady.

The servants squeezed their way to the old lady and the second wife.

Who would have thought that after the eldest young lady's dowry was spent, the old lady cut back on all expenses in the mansion, the servants' monthly wages were reduced, and not a single penny was given as reward money.

On the other hand, in Haitang Courtyard, monthly wages and bonuses are paid as usual. Who wouldn't praise the eldest young lady for being kind to the servants?

Meng Qianqian looked at the three people and said calmly: "I have made the rules clear in advance. You are doing things for me, so you can only listen to me."

The three of them nodded in agreement!

Meng Qianqian said again: "Madam Wan, you will come to the inner courtyard from now on."

If you call her nanny, she is no longer a servant!

Nanny Wan was flattered: "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"

Oh my god, those two slaps I gave to the vixen were not in vain!

Meng Qianqian said, "I'm going to go out for a while. You guys keep an eye on the yard. No one is allowed to touch anything in my room."

Nanny Wan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Madam Young Master, even if the old lady comes--"

Meng Qianqian: "Great-grandmother can move."

Nanny Wan said awkwardly, "Ah, yes, yes."

Meng Qianqian took Banxia out of the yard.

"Let Brother Wu come over."

"Yes, miss!"

The driver last time was not Wu Ge'er. Meng Qianqian did not trust him, so she and Banxia secretly walked from the study to East Street.

"Madam!"

Wu Ge'er drove the carriage over and put the wooden bench away.

Meng Qianqian nodded slightly and got into the carriage with Banxia.

"To East Street."

"Yes, Madam!"

When they arrived at the rouge shop, Meng Qianqian asked Wu Ge'er to stop the carriage, and she and Banxia took out the curtain and veil from the bag and put them on.

Wu Ge'er recognized that this was the shop that the Zhao family had mortgaged to pay off their debts, and it was also the place where the eldest young lady was abducted by the Beiliang spies.

Although I was curious about why the eldest young lady came here, as a servant, I should not ask questions that I shouldn't ask.

Meng Qianqian and Banxia covered themselves so well that no one in the shop recognized them.

Meng Qianqian sat in the shop for an hour.

"Walk."

"Miss, are you not going to close the shop?" She already knew about the shop.

Meng Qianqian said: "Don't take it yet."

Banxia was confused: "Then what are we doing here?"

Meng Qianqian returned to the carriage and said to Wu Ge'er, "Let's go to Sifang Pavilion."

Sifangguan was originally a place where princes and nobles recruited talents. However, because many spies from various countries had infiltrated the palaces and sneaked into the princes' residences as aides, they were discovered and dealt with by Lu Yuan's Jinyiwei and the academy was closed down.

But the nearby market is still there, with people doing small business and also people doing human trafficking.

Meng Qianqian went into a dental clinic.

Although she covered herself up tightly, the matchmaker had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that this was a wealthy sponsor. She smiled and asked Meng Qianqian to sit down and served a pot of good tea.

Meng Qianqian asked straight to the point: "Is there anyone in your dental practice who can do the accounting?"

"Yes! What kind of person would you like? Older, younger, or——"

Meng Qianqian put an account book on the table and said, "Find someone who can calculate this account clearly. He can set the monthly salary. I will be back in three days."

This is a big money sponsor!

The matchmaker suppressed her excitement, cleared her throat, and said, "Our matchmaker—"

Banxia took a gold ingot and put it on the table.

The matchmaker smiled so hard that her teeth were visible and her eyes were not: "Don't worry, my dear! I'll take care of it! I'll find ten or eight, you can pick whatever you want!"

Meng Qianqian asked again: "Are there any maids?"

The matchmaker smiled and asked, "Is it a living contract or a dead contract?"

Meng Qianqian said: "All is fine."

The matchmaker stood up, waved the handkerchief in her hand, and shouted to the backyard: "Girls, come out to meet the guests!"

"Hmm?" Meng Qianqian tilted her head and looked at her.

The matchmaker smiled awkwardly: "I used to work in a brothel."

As expected of a brothel, the girls are prettier and more delicate than each other, and you can tell at first glance that they are not cut out for work.

Meng Qianqian stood up.

The matchmaker hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said, "My dear lady, what kind of thing do you want? I will find it for you in three days!"

Meng Qianqian raised her hand and pointed to the backyard: "No need, I want her."

The matchmaker looked in the direction of her finger and laughed dryly, "My lord... it's not that I don't want to earn your money, but that girl... is a disobedient girl... she has been here for three days, and she has injured seven guards and chased away three of my lords! I was just thinking of selling her... and sending her away!"

Meng Qianqian walked towards the backyard.

The matchmaker followed in panic: "My dear! Don't get close to the cage! She bites!"

Meng Qianqian looked at the ragged and dirty little girl locked in the cage, and took out three pieces of crispy candies wrapped in a handkerchief from her purse and handed them to her.

The little girl snatched it away and ate it up greedily.

After eating, she wiped her mouth without looking at Meng Qianqian: "Where is the fourth?"

The toothbrush was stunned: "You can speak?"

This girl has been in the dental clinic for a month and she has never said a word. She didn't say a word when she beat others, and she didn't say a word when she was beaten. She thought she was mute!

It's just the accent...

Meng Qianqian said: "Follow me."

The little girl asked, "Do you provide meals?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Enough."

The little girl then raised her head, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful eyes: "Okay, I'll follow you. I'll ask for your permission first. If you don't refuse, I won't be your servant anymore."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Okay."

The matchmaker hurriedly tried to stop her: "No, no, no, my lord! This girl is very cunning! I'm telling you the truth. She once escaped and injured more than a dozen yamen runners. I paid her so much that she died! If you buy her back, she will be a disaster!"

The little girl looked innocent: "She's talking nonsense, so good!"

Banxia also felt that a little girl of twelve or thirteen could not be so cruel. She was worried about something else: "Miss, what if she refuses to pay?"

The little girl grabbed the cage with both hands and looked at Meng Qianqian sincerely: "Sister, I won't hide it! I never lie!"
