Chapter 240 I am the eldest lady’s man
The people serving in the courtyard of the two young masters of the third house are all men and old women, but there is not a single maid.
Su Qingwan's question instantly made the maid very excited. Compared to staying with Su Qingwan and never having a chance to get ahead, it would be better to serve in the young master's room.
Who knows, she might be taken in as the young master's concubine and become his concubine in the future.
"I dare not!" said the maid timidly.
Su Qingwan's pretty mouth curled up immediately, and she said with regret:
"I see. Then go clean the stables."
The maid suddenly raised her head and looked at Su Qingwan in astonishment. Shouldn't she let her go directly to the young master's room to serve?
Why did you suddenly change your mind and ask me to sweep the stable?
"Miss, I know I was wrong, please don't punish me, please!"
She kowtowed in panic, feeling that Su Qingwan's cold eyes had seen through all her little thoughts.
"Take her away quickly and don't pollute the young lady's eyes here." Lin Xiang called out immediately.
The maidservant saw two sturdy women walking towards her and screamed in surprise.
"Miss, you can't do this. I was sent by the Madam. You can't punish me like this... Ouch!"
Before she could finish her words, the old woman from the Zhao family came over and started pinching her.
"You two-faced bastard, since you entered our young lady's yard, you belong to our young lady. You are still thinking about the first lady. I have always seen that you are not a good person. Today, you are exposed. You dare to seduce a man in front of so many people. It is a light punishment to punish you to sweep the stable. In my opinion, you should be severely beaten with a stick and then sold."
"You seem to be quite pretty, but it's a pity that your heart and your beauty are not being used in the right place."
Su Qingwan sneered.
"She was dragged down to clean the stables, so there was no need for her face to be so well behaved."
Lin Xiang waved his hand, and the Zhao family's wife naturally understood what he meant.
"Miss, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again."
The maid burst into tears, looking extremely sad and aggrieved.
Su Qingwan waved her hand, and the Zhao family's mother-in-law and others dragged her away.
Su Yuewu had no idea what happened after he left. He fiddled in the kitchen for a long time before he finally made the Saibei barbecue that he had eaten at his master's house before.
Before lunch, Su Qingwan asked Zhenzhu to invite Jiang and Aunt Rong to come to Fuguangyuan for lunch.
Jiang didn't want to come over, but she couldn't resist Aunt Rong's strength and was pulled over.
"Mom, come and eat something delicious. Brother Wu made some delicious food today. He said it was made in the northern part of the country. It's really interesting."
When Su Qingwan saw Jiang coming, she immediately greeted her.
Jiang walked over, looked at her two children, and forced a smile, but she still couldn't be happy.
Su Yuewu didn't know that Su Zhiru had taken a concubine. Seeing Jiang's haggard appearance, he was very puzzled.
"Mom, why do you look so haggard? Are you sick?"
This morning when he went to Helin Court to pay his respects to Jiang, he was told that Jiang had not yet woken up, so he came to Su Qingwan.
"I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little tired." Jiang forced a smile.
Su Qingwan knew that she was sad, but her father's taking a concubine was a fact. Instead of being sad, she might as well think carefully about how to live in the future.
"Mom, have some soup." Su Qingwan placed the soup in front of Jiang.
"it is good!"
Because her daughter was so filial, Jiang Shi had no appetite but still agreed. However, she could not eat anymore after drinking a few sips.
The mother and her two children were having dinner when they heard the gatekeeper outside report:
"Fourth Miss, Aunt Song sent her maid Qiu Feng over here to collect the monthly allowance from the Third Madam."
Upon hearing this, Jiang dropped the spoon directly into the bowl, and a look of sadness appeared on her face again.
Even though Su Yuewu was slow to react, he still realized what was going on.
When an aunt comes to his mother to collect the monthly allowance, she must not be the aunt of his eldest or second uncle, but only his father's.
"When did my father take a concubine?" Su Yuewu frowned and said with great displeasure.
"The concubine I took in yesterday was my father's lifesaver. After all, a lifesaver should be rewarded with one's body, so my father did that."
Su Qingwan also put down her chopsticks and took the refreshing tea handed to her by Shanhu.
"Let her in." Su Qingwan said.
Jiang didn't want to see anyone related to Song Xiangzhi at all, but she was the legitimate wife of the third room, and her husband's concubines were hers to be in charge.
The maid who came in was the maid with double buns that Su Qingwan had seen that day. When she saw Jiang, she bowed casually and said:
"Madam, the Third Master asked me to come to you to collect my aunt's monthly allowance."
"Snapped"
Zhenzhu went up and slapped Qiufeng to the ground, then said, "This maid from outside doesn't know the rules at all. She can't even perform a proper greeting. You just watch her."
Then Zhenzhu stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the ladies and brothers, motioning Qiufeng to do the same. Qiufeng changed his arrogant attitude when he came in just now and bowed timidly.
Su Yuewu frowned and was about to speak when he heard his sister say, "Mom, how much money does my dad have left this month?"
Since she is my father's concubine, naturally she has to be supported by his own monthly salary.
"I can't remember, but after he returned to Beijing, he spent a lot of money. I'm afraid there's nothing left."
Jiang understood the meaning of Su Qingwan's words and realized instantly that she wanted Su Zhiru to use her monthly salary to support a concubine.
"You heard me. My father's monthly salary is gone this month. Let's wait until he pays you the monthly salary next month. You can leave now." Su Qingwan said directly.
How is this possible?
Qiu Feng frowned. She came here specially to cause trouble for Jiang, and Aunt Song was still waiting for money.
Besides, how could they not receive monthly wages when they entered the Marquis’ Mansion?
"Madam, this is what the Third Master meant." Qiu Feng didn't want to leave but his words were a little timid.
"Snapped"
Pearl went up and slapped him again and said, "Remember to do whatever the master says from now on. Don't show any displeasure or procrastination."
"throw it out!"
Su Qingwan was not in the mood to explain so much. Even if her father came, she would have to pay for it herself.
Jiang remained silent and ignored Qiu Feng who was dragged out.
"Mom, if my father asks you for money, just let him come to me. Anyway, I'm the one who is in charge of our family's money now." Su Qingwan said to Jiang.
Jiang nodded, feeling extremely tired.
Su Yuewu wanted to persuade his mother, but he didn't know how, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Brother doesn't know about this yet, go find him at the Imperial College!"
Su Yuewu nodded, then looked at his distraught mother, and felt that he had to ask his eldest brother to come back and have a proper talk with their father.
"Mom, I'm going to look for my eldest brother. Do you want to come with me to see him? I heard that the Imperial College has a test recently. I don't know if my eldest brother has lost weight."
Su Yuewu relied on his intuition and felt that taking Jiang out for a walk would make her feel much better, so he said so.
Jiang didn't want to move and shook his head.
Su Qingwan has already told Aunt Rong about this.
"Aunt Rong, please go with mother and the others."
"Okay! The scenery outside is nice now, it's nice to go out for a walk." Aunt Rong said immediately.
Seeing this, Jiang knew that her opinion was no longer important, so she decided to go out for a walk to prevent Aunt Song from asking her for money again.
After a while, the mother and son left the marquis's mansion with their people.
As soon as they left, Qing Er came running over with excitement on his face to tell Su Qingwan about the first wife's affairs.
"Miss, the first lady has been brought back by the second lady. Do you want to go and take a look? She was beaten badly."
"Of course we have to go, but we have to go to Rong'an Hall first."
Such a happy event naturally needs to be made known to old Kang.
