Chapter 317 Savings, All Belongings 22
"You Ran, what your sister said makes some sense. Since things have come to this, you are the housekeeper now. You have to find ways to solve problems when you encounter them. This is also a test from your father. Your sister is willing to take out her savings, which should be enough to sustain her until next month when the income from the farm and shop is handed over. If you don't understand anything, please ask the housekeeper and your mother, or grandmother." Shen Wenting's anger was somewhat dissipated by her words about taking out all her savings.
Shen Youran looked dissatisfied. She had already used up some of her private savings to pay for the expenses of the Shangshu Mansion. Now her father wanted her to find a solution. What could she do? He wanted to use her private savings again?
Wuwu... She refused to do it, but this bitch wanted to take out all her savings. If she didn't say anything, it would lead to the blame from her father and grandmother, and it would be a loss. However, she would use the bitch's savings first. She brought back so many good things from the Duke's Mansion. If they were exchanged for silver, they would last for a long time. So she smiled and said to Yao Qingnian, "Since you said so, please give me the silver. The family will use it first. If there is not enough left, I will make up for it."
"Okay, I'll have someone send it over later. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Yao Qingnian bowed obediently.
"Now that the matter has been dealt with, I still have some things to do outside the house. You two sisters just need to work together to deal with the affairs in the house." After saying this, Shen Wenting also left with his hands behind his back. With the savings of his two daughters, the house managed to survive these days.
Shen Youran returned to her own courtyard. Now she had a headache when she saw the account book. The people who came only asked about money.
After a long while, a servant came in: "Second Miss, the eldest lady asked me to bring all her savings here, please count them."
When she heard that the money was coming, the expression on her face immediately eased, and she was very happy in her heart. This was coming faster than she had imagined. She stood up and walked to the door herself, and saw a servant standing there holding a box. She hurriedly asked him to open it, with a look of anticipation on her face: "Open it quickly and let me see it."
Under Shen Youran's expectant gaze, the servant opened the box and revealed the contents. Her smile froze, and her face was filled with astonishment. All her savings were just these few pieces of silver? Was this bitch playing a trick on her?
"Second Miss, the eldest lady asked me to bring you something. She is starving in the countryside and has nothing except this tattered dress. This is the pocket money that the mistress gave her after she came back, a total of twenty taels."
"Twenty taels? You're giving money to a beggar!" Shen Nianran, this liar, spoke nicely in front of her father, but he played this trick on her when he got home. Even if she didn't have any silver on her, it wouldn't be possible that she would get only this much money by just exchanging one of the things she brought back from the Duke's Mansion. It was obvious that he didn't want to use it to trick her!
She stepped forward and knocked the box in the servant's hand to the ground, and the broken silver pieces scattered all over the floor. She kicked the box hard against the wall not far away, and the box bounced back and hit Shen Youran in the face. She felt her nose sore and two streams of blood flowed from her nose.
"Miss, are you okay?!" When the servants saw her like this, they exclaimed and hurried forward to wipe the blood off her with a handkerchief.
"Bitch! You even bully me over a box! Ah!" She felt like she was going crazy. She wished she could run to that bitch's yard right now and slap her hard a few times to relieve her hatred.
"Get out, all of you!" Shen Youran lost her temper for a while and wanted to smash things again to vent her anger, but was stopped by the nanny in time: "Miss, you can't smash things. The money in the mansion is already tight right now. If you smash things again, it will be another expense!"
The nanny's words made her angry, and she felt so angry that she felt pain. She had no place to vent her anger, so she looked at the maids beside her and smashed things to ask for money. As long as she didn't beat these maids to death, she wouldn't have to spend money! So she found some excuses to punish and beat the maids in the courtyard, and finally she felt relieved.
The maids in her courtyard have been worried these days, and everyone has some scars on their bodies...
At the Earl's Mansion, since the last incident, Chen Shuhua ignored Madam Pei for a long time. Madam Pei sent messages several times, asking her to go to her mansion to play, but she declined politely, saying that she was busy.
But when she went out a few days ago, she clearly saw her and other women boating on the lake and appreciating the flowers. They were talking and laughing, and she didn't look like she had no time at all. It seemed that she was still brooding over what happened last time. So she tried her best to persuade her daughter to go with her to the Shangshu Mansion to apologize.
"Qian Huan, I know I've wronged you by asking you to apologize to that country girl, but you know the situation at home. Your father is gone, and mother has to take care of all the big and small things at home. If we didn't have the relationship between the Shangshu Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, it would be difficult for us, an orphan and a widow, to gain a foothold in the huge capital. When will your brother be able to inherit the title and revive our Earl's Mansion?"
"But mother, I really hate Shen Nianran. Why does she, a bumpkin from the countryside, have the right to ride on my head?"
"Just talk to mother about this, and don't reveal it to outsiders. No matter where she comes from, she is now Chen Shuhua's biological daughter, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. We must be polite to her when we meet her, understand?"
"Mom, I don't understand! I don't want to go!" Pei Qianhuan pouted, looking dissatisfied. Mrs. Pei was also worried about her daughter. Now that her husband was gone, she only cared about the things in the mansion and neglected to discipline her daughter, which led to her paranoid and willful character. Mrs. Pei couldn't change her mind.
"Sister, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell your brother and I will deal with him for you!" At this moment, Pei Zongzheng came back from outside and saw his unhappy sister and helpless mother. He walked over to them and sat down, comforting them.
"Brother, it's that bitch Shen Nianran! Mom wants me to go and apologize, but I don't want to go."
"Well, I thought it was no big deal. It's just an apology. What's so difficult about that?" Thinking of the pretty face that looked straight at him last time, Pei Zongzheng's heart was filled with joy. Although she came back from the countryside, she was still a biological child of the Shangshu Mansion. She was also good-looking and unforgettable.
Besides, the way she looked at me, I was sure she was interested in me. If I took action, it would be easy to capture her. I could just say a few words to make her fall in love with me. Then I would do whatever I asked her to do, hehe...
