Mother and daughter reborn and swap bodies, both of them went crazy

"Madam, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

Qingying saw that his wife had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and advised her with concern.

Madam has been very active recently. First, she punished the sixth young lady's wet nurse, and then she checked the accounts in the mansion to clean out the corrupt officials.

A total of fifty or sixty people were cleared out, and now there are only about one hundred and fifty or sixty servants left in the mansion.

After finishing these, the lady started to check the accounts of the dowry, farm and shop. She was busy until late at night every day, and she felt it was tiring just watching her.

However, she only learned some simple accounting skills and could not help her lady with her worries.

"I've only got a little more to go. Don't worry about me, go and rest first. You've all been very tired lately."

Sheng Minmin said without even raising her head.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Qingchi, Qingying asked Qingchi to go and rest first. "You go and rest, otherwise I won't have the strength to carry you back." Qingying whispered to Qingchi.

This girl is young and in the period of growth, but she said she wanted to accompany the lady last night, and while accompanying her, she fell asleep on the table and drooled all over the table...

Qing Chi blushed upon hearing this, and finally gave up insisting. He bowed in a not-so-standard way and left.

Qingchi is currently only a third-class maid, but because Sheng Minmin gave her the name of Qing, she will definitely be used in the future, so Qingying has been keeping her by her side to teach her.

There was also a second-class maid named Xiangxiang in the room, who had just been promoted from a third-class maid.

Qingying knows Xiangxiang quite well. Xiangxiang is steady and meticulous in her work and can do very well whatever the lady asks her to do.

But he is too shy and soft-hearted, and cannot control himself when he meets some cunning and experienced people.

She walked up to Xiangxiang and whispered in her ear, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of lotus seed, longan and red date soup to calm the nerves, and also a serving of shrimp wontons. Send them over when they're ready."

Xiangxiang took the order and went out obediently.

Qingchi and Xiangxiang left, leaving only Qingying and Sheng Minmin in the room.

During this period, Mudanyuan also "cleaned out" a lot of people.

Qingying didn't know whether that counted as a "cleansing", so the lady gave Xu Ma, who had been with her for many years, a severance pay of one hundred taels of silver, abolished her slave status, and asked Xu Ma's son to come and take her back in person.

If it was called "cleaning", none of the other servants received such good treatment.

If it is not a "cleanup", the timing is extremely awkward.

Apart from Madam Xu, she and Xiangxiang were the only first, second and third-rank maids left in the Mudan Courtyard.

Several of the original third-class maids and another second-class maid were found to have corrupt practices and were sold out by the lady.

The two original first-class maids, Qingtian and Qingxin, were given to the sixth young lady and the eldest young master respectively.

Qingying was not sure about the lady's thoughts. In the past, the lady regarded her husband as her God, doted on her children, had a rough personality, and was sometimes easily manipulated by the subordinates without realizing it.

But recently, I saw Madam checking the accounts and the directors. She is quick-witted and perceptive. It is impossible that Madam did not notice that there were some...problems with Qingtian and Qingxin.

Qingxin prides herself on her beauty and ambition, and is not someone who would settle for anything. It would be dangerous for the eldest young master to keep her around.

Although Qingtian seems sweet and lively, she is actually very petty, selfish, and a little short-sighted...

What's more, Qingtian's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law embezzled a lot of money every year. All the other parasites were cleared out, so why did they keep Qingtian's family?

Wouldn't this only encourage the arrogance of this family?

The slave is too powerful to bully the master. The Sixth Miss is young and has such a girl around her. I'm afraid there will be a disaster in the future.

And that headgear, the servants in the mansion have changed their opinions of the Sixth Miss recently, and I don’t know how many people hate the Sixth Miss...

None of these things are of any benefit to Miss Six.

Thinking of this, Qingying's heart began beating faster and her right eyelid also started twitching.

It's impossible. The Sixth Miss is the Madam's biological daughter and her only daughter.

Madam has always treated Sixth Miss like the apple of her eye and there is no way she would harm her!

After thinking about it, Qingying felt that maybe the lady realized that she had spoiled her children too much in the past, so she made some changes after learning from her mistakes, but she may have gone too far...

Of course, there is still a trace of worry hidden deep in Qingying's heart...

Qingying's thoughts were surging, while Sheng Minmin at the desk had finally sorted out the accounts of the 10 shops, 8 farms, and 2 woodlands in Huang Yaning's dowry.

Huang Yaning’s 10 dowry shops are all popular shops in the capital.

There were grain stores, teahouses, restaurants, inns, pawnshops, rouge and powder shops, jewelry shops, cloth shops, and even a cheap food shop at the pier.

The shopkeepers hired are all smart and capable, so each shop currently has a stable and good income, and the combined monthly net profit hovers between 2 and 3 taels.

At the end of the year, the income can basically be guaranteed to be 30 taels.

There are 8 farms and 2 woodlands left.

Five of the manors are near Kyoto and can be reached in three to five days by horse carriage. Two woodlands and three large manors covering over 5 acres are relatively far away.

These farms and woodlands together can earn about 10 taels of silver each year. With the income from the shops, the annual income is 40 taels.

The Sheng family was originally a small household without any property. After Huang Yaning married into the family, she was completely devoted to Sheng Yong and was willing to use her dowry to support the masters of the Sheng family with a decent life of fine clothes and delicious food.

There are also personal connections, helping Sheng Yong to take care of things...

As a result, Huang Yaning had been married to the Sheng Mansion for 10 years. Not only had the 30 taels of silver in the bottom of the box been emptied, but the annual profits of nearly 40 taels from the dowry shops, farms, and woodlands were also used to fill the holes in the Sheng Mansion.

Because of Guangsheng Mingzhu's food, clothing, and the grand birthday party held for her every year, the monthly expenses would be over ten thousand taels.

Sheng Yong had to withdraw about 40 taels every month, and his annual income was only 3 taels, which averaged out to just over taels per month.

Sheng Mingzhu and Sheng Yong spent 2 taels, and the remaining taels were used to maintain the expenses of the entire mansion, so there was no surplus at all.

Sheng Minmin took a few deep breaths, feeling very complicated.

It was not until the end of her previous life that she realized that Huang Yaning was love-sick and stupid, but she did not expect that Huang Yaning was so love-sick and stupid, it was as if she had no brains at all.

You say she loves her husband dearly, but she allows Sheng Yong to have so many concubines.

You say she loves her children, but she hasn't saved any money for her children in all these years. Won't her children need money when they get married in the future?

wrong!

In her previous life, Huang Yaning gave almost all of her dowry to Sheng Mingzhu, so it stands to reason that the marriages of her three sons would be very shabby.

But in their previous life, the weddings of the three brothers Sheng Mingjian were very grand and dignified. Where did the Sheng family get the money?

After thinking for a while, a young, thin face appeared in my mind.

Huang Xianjing.

The only living member of the Huang family besides Huang Yaning.
