Chapter 243: Crying and feeling upset and wanting to go back to her parents' home
After hearing the decree of Emperor Hongde, the Empress couldn't help but smile, "Your Majesty, you are so evil!"
Emperor Hongde also laughed after hearing this, "I am not being mean.
If I were to be kind to the people of Qinxing Marquis Mansion, that would be truly evil!"
“Yeah, that’s true.
However... Your Majesty, since you sympathize with the hardship that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion has suffered due to the theft, then the three months' salary that was fined before..." Empress Luan Xiying smiled at Emperor Hongde with teasing eyes.
"The salary for the previous three months...hahaha...
I have just waived the half-year salary penalty!"
As he said this, he turned to look at Shu Xiu, the senior palace maid, and said, "Tell them to serve the meal."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Shu Xiu bowed, turned around and gave orders.
The Queen Mother burst out laughing behind Emperor Hongde!
Outside the palace, Yu Feng also instructed his apprentice Xiao Dongzi to go to the Marquis Qinxing's mansion to convey the imperial edict.
Emperor Hongde and the Empress were preparing to have lunch.
As for the lunch at Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion...well...it’s hard to describe!
The live chickens, ducks, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables that I buy every day were all gone today!
There was only some rice and flour left in the kitchen.
The chef, who is usually busy frying, stir-frying and cooking, is completely free today!
Just two maids are enough!
I kneaded the dough, steamed a pot of steamed buns, cooked two large pots of porridge, and cut a bowl of pickles.
I soaked a bowl of black fungus and fried it with some animal oil, as a dish for the masters.
I steamed a small piece of air-dried bacon and cut it into thin slices, so it can be considered meat.
The servants haven't yet.
While doing this, the two women complained in their hearts:
Is this the life you live in a marquis's mansion?
I don’t know how long this kind of days will last!
As the master, Marquis Qinxing was now lying on Zhongshun's bed.
He tilted his head to glance at the stack of bills on the table over there, then quickly turned his head back and closed his eyes.
In my heart, I cursed Butler Lu and Peng Lu bitterly...
Two bastards!
Why collect these annoying bills?
If you've collected it, why not put it somewhere else? Why put it here to bother him?
He felt upset when he saw it!
When Leng Xian saw that the tray brought in by Zhongshun only contained two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, a plate of fried black fungus and a few slices of bacon as thin as paper, he became even more annoyed!
The same thing was also sent to Chaoyangyuan.
Now, Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang are all in the servants' house in Chaoyang Courtyard.
there's no way!
The house they lived in was empty, and they couldn't just sit on the cold floor all the time.
At least there were stools to sit on and hard beds to lie on in the servants' room.
At least there were mattresses and quilts to cover themselves with.
The bland morning meal had been consumed by their cries and howls.
After Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang complained of hunger several times, the servants brought today's lunch - steamed buns, porridge, pickles, stir-fried black fungus without meat, and a few slices of bacon.
Yin saw it and felt like crying!
Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang just started crying.
"Mom, I don't want to eat this!
These are not tasty!
We want to eat braised pork!
I want to eat braised fish!
I want to eat roast chicken!
I want meatballs!
I also want to eat Eight Treasure Duck...
Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang cried and shouted while constantly listing the names of the dishes.
Yin became even more annoyed after hearing this!
"Stop making noise!"
Yin was so angry that she yelled, and Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang were so frightened that they stopped crying immediately.
Yin's loud shout also pulled her injured face, causing her to gasp in pain and cover her face with her hands for a long time.
Looking at the miserable pair of children in front of her, Yin sat down on a wooden stool and burst into tears.
She hated, hated those thieves;
She complained, complained that Leng Xian was useless, and also complained that Leng Xian hit her;
Blame your bad luck for facing the current predicament!
She lamented that she didn't know how long she would have to endure before she could return to her old life.
The days of the past were the real days!
All of Fu Baozhen's treasures were in her hands. She wore gold, pearls, jade, and emeralds, spent lots of money, and ate all kinds of delicacies...
But right now...right now...
Yin looked around in confusion!
Now she is living in the servants' room with her children.
Looking at this hard-to-swallow bland soup, she even felt like she had no desire to live!
She wanted to cry, crying about her bad life!
From the beginning to now, she has never stopped being jealous of Fu Baozhen.
At this moment, she was still jealous to the point of madness!
What would Fu Baozhen do if she encountered the same predicament as me?
I guess she won't worry at all, right?
Her father and brothers will give her gold, silver and everything at the first opportunity!
Or take her and Leng Rongyue to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion as soon as possible.
And what about yourself?
I do have my own family.
But my own family...
Yin gradually stopped crying.
She wondered how much her parents had taken from her aunt and from her over the years.
Now that the Marquis's Mansion was in such a predicament, her mother's family was at least better off than the current Marquis's Mansion of Qinxing;
At least...you will have no worries about food and clothing!
At least... I don't have to live in this servant's little house, right?
Yin wanted to take her child back to her parents' home and live there for a while.
But she looked down at herself...in this state...how could she go out?
After thinking about it, Yin gritted her teeth.
Instead of drinking porridge and eating pickles here, it is better to go back to my mother's house for a few days, eat some delicious meals first, and then forget about it for a few days.
Maybe in a few days, the predicament of this marquis' mansion will be resolved!
