"Miss, please stop crying. If the Madam and the Young Masters see you, they will be heartbroken."

Qingtian patiently and softly comforted the crying Sheng Mingzhu.

She has a sweet face and is in her prime. She was originally a top maidservant beside Huang Yaning.

Her father was a small steward in the outer courtyard, her mother was in charge of purchasing flowers, plants and trees for the Sheng Mansion, her eldest brother worked for the master, and her sister-in-law was in charge of the snacks, tea and fruits in the big kitchen...

In the Sheng Mansion, their family is one of the most respectable among the servants.

But even such a respectable person could not afford to wear clothes made of soft silk.

A few days ago, the lady also searched Tao Niang's room and found silver bills, gold and silver jewelry, bird's nests, shark's fins, ginseng, and other expensive fabrics...

All in all, it was worth more than ten thousand taels of silver!

The Sixth Miss claimed that those things were rewards given to Tao Niang, but how could a servant have the nerve to accept a reward of tens of thousands from her master?

Pooh--

What a vile thing!

The Sixth Miss is only 6 years old and doesn’t know anything. Those valuable things must have been cheated away by Tao Niang!

Even the master was alarmed by this incident, and he was so angry that he smashed a set of teacups.

It was precisely because Tao Niang had embezzled too much that the Madam began to strictly check the accounts a few days ago. She checked the entire house carefully and cleared out a large number of people.

Even the matron who managed the kitchen and the nanny who had been with the lady for many years were replaced.

She didn't know what the lady would do next. She had been asking around for a long time but couldn't find out anything. Now the servants in the mansion were in a state of panic every day...

That bitch Tao Niang has really done a lot of harm to people!

Qingtian cursed Tao Niang in her heart, but was also a little worried about her family.

However, her mother asked her to relax, saying that the lady gave her to the Sixth Miss because she trusted her, and that the lady would not investigate their family strictly.

Besides, she is now the maid with the highest status around the Sixth Miss. Just for the sake of the Sixth Miss, even if the Madam finds out something, she will not make things too difficult for their family.

It's impossible to punish the Sixth Miss's wet nurse and housekeeper first, and then punish the family of the head maidservant beside the Sixth Miss. How could it be disrespectful if it got out?

Qingtian was really comforted and began to plan for herself wholeheartedly.

Among the "women" in this mansion, the Sixth Miss is the most honorable one except for the Madam. As long as she can win the Sixth Miss's heart, why worry about not having a good life in the future? !

Of course, the prerequisite is that Tao Niang can never turn over again!

Therefore, Sheng Mingzhu cried and made a fuss about going to see Tao Niang early in the morning, and Qingtian naturally tried to stop her.

Qingtian rolled her eyes and said.

"Miss, the Madam is very angry right now. If you go to see Mother Tao again, I'm afraid you will completely anger her.

"Why don't you wait a little longer? By the time of your birthday, Madam will have calmed down. Then you can ask Madam for mercy and she will probably show mercy."

"Really?"

Qingtian nodded heavily, "Madam loves you the most, she will definitely agree."

Sheng Mingzhu curled her lips, her eyes moistened again, "Mother doesn't like me now, I can't eat well now and mother doesn't come to see me..."

Sheng Mingzhu wanted to see her wet nurse mainly to ask her to give her advice and tell her what to do.

In the past, she listened to her wet nurse and was loved by everyone in the mansion, and had everything she wanted.

But now that her wet nurse is not around, she can't eat or rest well, and no one can give her any advice. Sheng Mingzhu feels angry and confused.

"Miss, Madam changed your diet for your own good. You don't want to be short in the future, do you?"

Qingtian smiled and comforted him, not taking it seriously.

If it is said that the lady treats the young lady badly, that would be a huge joke!

The monthly expenses of the young lady for food, clothing and daily necessities are more than the expenses of the Madam herself and the three young masters combined. Who in the mansion doesn't know that the Madam holds the young lady in her heart and loves her dearly? !

Madam would rather mistreat herself than mistreat the young lady!

Now, the lady has stopped serving the young lady's favorite delicacies such as blood swallows, shark fins, duck tongues, etc. for the sake of the young lady's health, but she has never stopped serving her other meat dishes.

There are 6 main dishes for each meal and tea, snacks and pastries are served twice a day. It’s already perfect!

Not only Qingtian thought so, but other masters and servants in the mansion also thought so.

Ever since the last dinner incident, the servants of the Sheng Mansion realized that the monthly food allowance for all of them was only 100 taels.

Of course, they also knew that the food and vegetables they ate were all sent to the mansion from the lady's farm, and they didn't spend any money.

If the food sent from these farms were counted as money, the food expenses would definitely be more than 100 taels. But even so, they remembered the number 100 taels deeply in their hearts.

I also remember that Miss Di spent 1600 taels of silver per month.

The wet nurse beside the eldest lady could even wear soft silk that cost a thousand taels of silver a piece, and she embezzled good things worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

You want to say that the lady is mean? Who would believe it?!

When the servants of Haitang Court heard their young lady complain that the mistress did not "love her", they tried to comfort her on the surface but shook their heads in their hearts.

Some servants secretly looked down on Sheng Mingzhu, thinking that she was too selfish and had the potential to be an ungrateful person.

Sheng Mingzhu was very angry when she saw everyone's attitude.

She really felt that her mother had changed, but everyone just said that her mother was doing it for her own good...

What's good for her?

She only likes to eat blood swallows and shark fins. She just wants to eat the most expensive food in the world.

Now, every day she is served a table full of food that everyone else can afford. Sheng Mingzhu gets angry when she sees it and loses her appetite, but no one else can hear the hidden meaning in her words.

In order to maintain her kind and gentle image, Sheng Mingzhu could only swallow her anger.

It would be great if the wet nurse was here. Not only would she understand what she meant, but she would also help her.

Never mind, Qingtian’s words also make sense. Now we can only wait until our parents have completely calmed down before we can get our nanny back…

Sheng Mingzhu didn't know that Sheng Minmin changed her diet to "normal" because she understood her temperament, just to make her eat poorly and sleep poorly.

Qingtian finally managed to coax Sheng Mingzhu into surrendering her, and personally escorted her into the female teacher's courtyard before respectfully leaving.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, her face darkened and she went to the laundry room.

The laundry room was located in the most remote courtyard of the Sheng Mansion, and it was filled with servants who had made mistakes.

In the Sheng Mansion, the clothes of the Master, the Madam, the three legitimate sons and the sixth daughter, as well as the two favored concubines were all washed by the respectable servants around them and would never be handed over to the laundry room for washing.

Only the clothes of the other three unfavored concubines and two illegitimate sons would be sent to the laundry room.

Of course, the clothes and beddings of the capable maids, first-class maids, and respected stewards around the master were naturally washed by the people in the laundry room.

The work in the laundry room is not easy. It is a little more bearable in the summer, but now the weather is cold and soaking in cold water every day is really uncomfortable.

Tao Niang's life became even more difficult. After Tao Niang's corruption was exposed, the lady began to check the accounts strictly, which cut off the financial resources of all the servants and really angered everyone!

I heard that someone even sent wine and food to Aunt Xu, the manager of the laundry room, just so that Aunt Xu could "torture" Tao Niang.

So, Tao Niang had to get up and work after only three days of rest after being beaten. It was said that the dirty clothes in front of her would never be washed, and she had to wash from the crowing of the rooster until dark every day.

If it weren't for the good medicine that the eldest young master secretly sent to her, and her good health, she would have collapsed long ago.

Tao Niang firmly believed that it would not be long before her good daughter would rescue her.

But Tao Niang was a little puzzled. It had been several days, but why had Mingzhu never come to see her? Was it because the Madam was interfering?
