After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

"Sister-in-law, the remaining ten taels of silver are not enough to pay the workers. Why don't you lend it to your sister-in-law so that I can go and prescribe two prescriptions for your nephew!"

Liu Diejing's face looked really ugly. She didn't expect that the Marquis' Mansion had been living off others for free, but now they would end up bowing for ten taels of silver!

Even so, Shao hesitated for a moment, and then she made up her mind and took out ten taels of silver from her waist pouch. Fortunately, all the servants left, otherwise, the situation would have been really embarrassing!

Liu Diejing took the money sullenly, stuffed it into the empty purse at her waist, and then said:

"It's getting late. I'll go back and ask the servant to buy some medicine for Wei Geer!"

The two sisters from the second house had been instructed by their father not to interact with the younger generations from the first house, so naturally they had nothing to say. The three of them just sat under the porch in the yard to enjoy the cool air!

Seeing Liu Diejing coming out, the three of them stood up. Xie Yinyin looked at her face and knew that the situation was not good. She smiled at the two sisters, bowed, and walked to the mistress!

"Go back, there is still a lot of things to do at home!" Liu Diejing looked at Xie Yinyin with a gloomy face and said!

Xie Yinyin bowed to Shao again: "Second Aunt, we will go back now!"

The two of them brought with them seven or eight maids and old women. They came with their heads held high, but when they left, they all looked a little hunched over!

Shao Mo escorted them out of the yard of the second house, then with a smile in her eyes, she called her two daughters back into the house!

It seems that this strong wind is not that scary. The problem was solved without even the master showing up!

Soon, Liu Diejing returned to the East Palace, with the lawsuit on her mind. Perhaps what Shao said was true. The population of Changning Marquis' Mansion was declining, and the eldest wife only had two sons. Even if there were grandchildren in the future, the East Palace would be large enough for them to live in!

Now that Xie Chen has lost his job and there's such a big commotion in the mansion, he naturally has no face to go out, so he stays in his empty study room, painting and keeping healthy!

Unfortunately, he felt that the painting lacked charm halfway through, so he had to throw away the drawing paper and start over! Painting requires concentration and calmness, and he couldn't do it. From time to time, he thought of the heavy rust-red sandalwood table that was carried away, and his heart could no longer calm down!

He threw the paintbrush away and shouted outside, "Someone come!"

After a long while, no one answered!

Xie Chen shouted a few more times before he remembered that he had asked his long-time attendant Liu Er to take several fine inkstones from his collection to his study and sell them to see if they could be sold at a good price!

Nowadays, the number of servants in the mansion has been reduced to a minimum. In addition to a servant for each master, there is also a cook, an accountant who also serves as a gardener, and the old housekeeper who not only does shopping but also welcomes and sees off guests. There is also a doorman who also needs to clean the outer courtyard!

With fewer servants, naturally the care was not as attentive as before. Xie Chen sat dejectedly on a high stool, looking at his precious books placed on a makeshift wooden bed, and his heart ached!

Although he was neither good at literature nor martial arts since childhood, he had a hobby, which was collecting books and antique calligraphy and paintings, otherwise he would not have opened a collection of antiques at home!

However, some time ago, his collection of antiques was discovered to be selling fakes, and the business plummeted. He didn't even know that the shopkeeper he trusted had replaced all the antiques and paintings with fakes, and had disappeared after the incident!

It's true that when it rains, it pours. Ever since Brother Lan failed to kill Su on the Ghost Festival, bad things have happened one after another!

Xie Chen just felt that this Su family was here to destroy their Xie family!

How she had once been so prosperous because of the Su family, but now she has become several times more destitute because of the Su family than before she entered the mansion!

It is true that the Su family is the reason for both success and failure!

The longer I sat in the study, the more stuffy I felt. When I went to see Aunt Xue, I heard her crying and saying that the room was too empty. It was so empty that it was a little scary. She was too lazy to go in and let her ears suffer from it!

It was so strange. He remembered that before he got engaged to Su, there were many good things in his brother's room. How come they were all gone now?

He didn't know what he had done wrong, and for a moment he was filled with resentment towards Liu. He didn't know how she managed the household and how she had let the Marquis's Mansion fall into such a state!

He got up angrily and went to Liu's room. He saw someone just coming back. Xie Yinyin called him "Dad", but when she saw that he looked unhappy, she also retreated very tactfully!

"How is it? How much silver did you get?" Xie Chen was a little impatient!

Liu Diejing just felt physically exhausted at this moment. This job of selling misery was really too tiring. If there was a way, whoever was willing to go could go!

He sighed deeply, and spoke in a voice full of grievance:

"Master, we went too late. If we had known the imperial edict would come, we would have borrowed money from them. That couple is so hateful. They spent all the money on renovating the new house and buying furniture. We only have a few dozen taels left. They still have expenses, so they only gave me ten taels!"

Xie Chen's voice suddenly rose: "What? They only gave ten taels, are they treating me like a beggar?"

He knew that the two brothers were still brooding over the death of their aunt, but so many years had passed, why bother about it so much!

I thought it was reasonable to borrow 1,000 taels of silver and give them 500 taels at half the price, but I never expected that they would dare to send people away with only 10 taels of silver!

"You idiot, they live in the Marquis' Mansion, don't you have any way to make them vomit more? You just do whatever they say, you are so stupid!"

"My Lord, you only know how to make me show up in public and do these shameful things. Since you say I'm stupid, why don't you go yourself? That family has always been very cunning. If it were me, I would not be willing to lend money to the people who bullied me when I was a child. What's more, they are now backed by the higher-ups, what can you do?"

Liu Diejing listened to the Marquis calling her a fool again, and she was naturally unhappy, and her words became sarcastic!

Lord Xie felt as if his tail had been stepped on, and became even angrier:

"You shrew, you still have the nerve to criticize me. You have lived in the mansion, and you have bullied them a lot. You still have the nerve to mention these things here. Are you afraid that others can't hear it?"

Liu Diejing was shaking with anger. She didn't even get to borrow much money, but was greatly insulted. She was even ridiculed by the Marquis. She was almost mad to death!

If her mother's family wasn't so reliable, she would have wanted to divorce this guy now!

For ten years, this guy has never been willing to stay in her room unless he has something important to do or needs money. If it weren't for his face, I'm afraid he would follow Lan Ge'er's example and marry another powerful and wealthy widow!

"At this time, you are still afraid that others will hear you. I am afraid that even if you shout loudly, others may not be able to hear you... In such a large East Mansion, there are only a few masters and a few servants who are reluctant to do their job. If you want others to hear you, I am afraid that others may not be willing to listen!"

Liu Diejing's face became ferocious again. At this point, she finally realized that Xie Chen was a heartless man with no other strengths except finding fault all the time!
