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

If Huang Yaning hadn't married in with a generous dowry, how could the Sheng family have moved into such a lavish mansion and lived a life of luxury surrounded by servants? !

Huang Yaning even used her generous dowry to arrange for Sheng Yong to be promoted from an eighth-rank minor official to a fifth-rank garrison commander.

Sheng Mingbo shamelessly said "It's not like we can't support them", but Sheng Yong's salary is really not enough to support Sheng Mingzhu and the Sheng family!

Now that Sheng Minmin has taken over Huang Yaning's body, Huang Yaning's money is her money. How can she let her enemy spend her money to live a luxurious life?

Although he thought so in his heart, he smiled faintly and said, "I don't care about the money, I care about the sixth girl."

"Are you feeling sorry for your little sister?" Sheng Mingbo opened his eyes wide, very confused.

"Look at your sister. She is already 6 years old but she is shorter than other children of the same age. I have heard doctors say that if children eat too much, it will be bad for their growth. I am afraid that if your sister continues to eat like this, in the future..."

Sheng Minmin did not make this up. She had actually heard this from a doctor in her previous life.

Sheng Mingbo and his brothers immediately looked surprised and confused, and Sheng Mingzhu's face had already turned pale with fright.

Sheng Mingzhu was short in her previous life. There was nothing wrong with height, but Sheng Mingzhu was always bothered by it.

No tall maidservant was allowed to serve him, to avoid letting others notice his height defect.

This method is useful most of the time, but it becomes unreliable when you're in a crowd.

For example, at flower-viewing banquets and outings, the young ladies and maids in other mansions were all tall and graceful, with a unique kind of beauty.

When he arrived at Sheng Mingzhu's place, he felt like a dwarf who had accidentally entered a fairy party.

Some young ladies who disliked Sheng Mingzhu secretly gave her the nickname "dwarf", which made Sheng Mingzhu almost go crazy.

Later, someone gave Sheng Mingzhu some advice and told her to put something in her shoes so that her height would look similar.

Several brothers of the Sheng family comforted Sheng Mingzhu who was already crying.

Of course Sheng Yong didn't want Sheng Mingzhu to not grow tall, but he seemed to be reluctant to see Sheng Mingzhu suffer, and his face was conflicted, so Sheng Minmin added fuel to the fire and said.

"Master, the purchase of food ingredients alone cost the mansion 4000 taels of silver last month!"

When Sheng Yong heard this amount, shock and displeasure flashed in his eyes. His brows were twisted into a "川" shape. He turned his head to look at Sheng Minmin, as if waiting for Sheng Minmin to give him a reasonable explanation.

Sheng Minmin looked at the other person calmly, "Master, are you surprised? To be honest, I was also surprised, so I went to check the account and found that the amount was correct. I actually spent 4000 taels.

"You know, everyone in this mansion has a quota for food expenses.

"The monthly food expenses for all servants are 100 taels, 60 taels for each concubine, and 5 taels for five concubines.

"The second and fourth sons given by my aunt received 600 taels each, so the total expenses are taels.

"The eldest, the third, and the fifth will each get 200 taels, I will get 600 taels, and your expenses will also be 600 taels, sir.

"The total cost of food for all of us is 2400 taels of silver."

Sheng Yong looked uneasy, "Is there anyone overstepping his authority?"

"We don't have it, but..." As she said this, she looked at Sheng Mingzhu, and the others also looked at Sheng Mingzhu.

"Mother..." Sheng Mingzhu's small body was a little stiff, and she called out timidly.

"Alas, the sixth girl's share was originally 200 taels, the same as her three brothers, but I took pity on her young age and frailty, so I let her cook in her own yard last month...

"I didn't expect that in just one month, the expenses for the small kitchen at Sixth Girl Haitangyuan would be as high as 1600 taels..."

The original Huang Yaning disliked the five concubines and the second and fourth illegitimate sons. After Madam Sheng passed away, Huang Yaning exempted the concubines and illegitimate sons from paying respects and serving her.

Only during festivals and holidays would we set up two tables in the main courtyard and have a meal together to show our appreciation.

Therefore, normally the legitimate children in the mansion eat with their legitimate mother, the illegitimate children eat with their aunt, and those without children eat by themselves.

Sheng Yong was considered a mobile personnel. His food ration would be delivered to whichever concubine's yard he stayed in.

As the weather got colder last month, Huang Yaning asked Sheng Mingzhu to cook in her yard.

Haitangyuan where Sheng Mingzhu lives has a small kitchen, which makes cooking very convenient.

At present, Sheng Mingzhu eats in the Peony Courtyard in the morning and evening except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. She basically eats in her own yard at other times. I didn’t expect that Sheng Mingzhu’s small kitchen cost 1600 taels in just one month!

If she was still the same Huang Yaning, she probably wouldn't think Sheng Mingzhu was extravagant, and she wouldn't tell anyone about the expenses of Haitangyuan.

But Sheng Minmin is not Huang Yaning, who loves her daughter dearly, but an evil ghost who comes to claim Sheng Mingzhu's life.

Not only did she have to expose Sheng Mingzhu's extravagant lifestyle in front of everyone, she also had to compare it with other people's spending.

The three brothers Sheng Mingjian, who dote on their sister like their life, probably wouldn't have any thoughts, but what about Sheng Yong, the selfish head of the family?

Would Sheng Yong have any objection if the father’s food expenses were not as much as his daughter’s?

There are also the concubines in the mansion, whose monthly food expenses are only 60 taels, while Sheng Mingzhu's daily food expenses are 53 taels.

There are five concubines in the mansion, and two of them are Sheng Yong’s favorites. Will they be so angry that they gnash their teeth when they hear this?

In addition, after today, all the servants in this mansion will know that Sheng Mingzhu’s monthly food expenses are more than the annual food expenses of all the servants in the mansion.

I wonder if these servants still think Sheng Mingzhu is a kind little fairy?

Although the food cost for so many servants in the mansion was only 100 taels of silver per month, it was because the food, fruits, vegetables, and eggs for the servants were all delivered directly from the farm under Huang Yaning, who is now in charge of her, and the mansion did not pay any money.

Only occasionally buying some oil, meat, and other rare ingredients would cost money, so the servants' food expenses could be controlled within 100 taels.

But she was not so kind as to explain for Sheng Mingzhu

Sheng Minmin subtly paid attention to everyone's expressions, and as expected, the servants' expressions changed.

Sheng Yong's eyes darkened. He doted on his daughter, but he was also the head of the family!

As the head of the family, his monthly food allowance is only 600 taels, but his 6-year-old daughter has to spend 1600 taels? !

Even if the servants were corrupt, it was enough to show how exquisite Sheng Mingzhu's food was!

Looking at the delicacies on the table now, that bowl of braised duck tongue and shark fin soup are so eye-catching!

"Just do as madam says." Sheng Yong said with a dark face.

Sheng Minmin nodded. Sheng Mingzhu was still just a little girl. She was neither one of the "two beauties" famous in the capital, nor had she won the favor of Prince Qi. Sheng Minmin was not surprised at all that Sheng Yong agreed to her proposal.

She whispered an instruction to the maid Qingying and said no more, nor did she say a word to comfort Sheng Mingzhu who was crying beside her.

Canceling Sheng Mingzhu's luxurious meals was just a small amount of interest that Sheng Minmin collected first.

Now that she had just been reborn in this body, Sheng Minmin understood that the most urgent task was to familiarize herself with the environment, count her belongings, and build her own power.

Once she has established her foothold, she will make these heartless, selfish scum suffer a fate worse than death!

No one spoke at the table for a while. Sheng Yong lost his appetite and quickly put down his chopsticks. No one else had any appetite to eat either. Only Sheng Minmin ate with relish.
