The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Lin Ruoxuan ordered, "Let someone in."

Chen Wan walked up to Lin Ruoxuan, looking extremely worried: "Eighth Miss, have you heard? Many servants have gone on strike and are going to ask for their monthly wages from Miss Liu. I don't know why it has been delayed for so long this time. People are so panicked, and I am also feeling uneasy. Tell me what is going on."

She deliberately exaggerated the situation just to attract Lin Ruoxuan's attention.

Lin Ruoxuan curled her lips: "Who knows what Miss Liu is doing."

Chen Wan sighed and said helplessly, "The house is in a mess now. I don't know if our lunch can be prepared on time. The adults can go hungry, but the fetus in my belly can't. Eighth Miss, what do you think we should do? Is there any solution? You are such a smart person."

She met Chen Wan's gaze and said bluntly, "Mrs. Chen, you are kidding. How can I solve this problem? There are old ladies and father in the mansion. How can it be my turn to take action?"

That's about enough for now.

Chen Wan understood what Lin Ruoxuan meant. She smiled and said, "Eighth Miss is talented. Although there are still them in this mansion, the eldest lady is more insightful when encountering many major issues. Maybe you will need to make the decision at that time."

Lin Ruoxuan felt a little better after being coaxed by her: "Look at what you said, you almost made me collapse into a flower."

She widened her eyes and said, "Eighth Miss, I'm just telling the truth. Okay, now I suddenly thought of something, so I'll leave first and come back when I have time."

"it is good."

Although she didn't say it, Lin Ruoxuan could already guess where she was going. Her father was not at home at this time, so Chen Wan was only going to find the old lady, and the old lady should also know about this matter.

as predicted.

After leaving Qingmuxuan, Chen Wan hurried to the old lady's yard. When she appeared in front of her, her eyes were red. "Mother, the monthly allowance has not been paid on time. I want to buy something for the fetus in my belly, but I don't have any spare money. It is said that it will be postponed for several days."

The old lady frowned: "Postponed?"

Chen Wan nodded: "Yes, mother, don't you know? In order to smoothly distribute the monthly allowance, the servants in the mansion have already gone to Liu Xiaoniang's yard to make trouble. The house is in a mess, and I don't know if Liu Xiaoniang will be eaten alive. I am worried about the fetus in my belly, and I am even more worried about Liu Xiaoniang's safety. After all, she just came out of the ancestral hall."

If Liu Xiaoniang hadn't been in poor health, it would have been impossible for her to get out of the ancestral hall.

After these words came out, the old lady frowned even more tightly: "You said that the servants are now making trouble in Qinghexuan?"

Chen Wan exaggerated and said, "Yes, mother, it was a big fuss. They broke a lot of things. We are a noble family after all. How could a servant dare to do such a thing in our house? I think they have become too arrogant."

At this point, the old lady couldn't sit still any longer and raised her hand. Mother Hong stepped forward to support her and said, "Old lady, shall we go to Qinghexuan?"

He hummed angrily, "Yes, let's go to Qinghexuan now. I want to see what they are doing. It's a mess every day. I can't let people relax."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Chen Wan was so happy to see that her plan had succeeded. She wanted to see how Liu Xiaoniang would get out of this time. If she stepped down, she would be the only one to enjoy the master's favor.

She also stepped forward to support him and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"I don't know what happened to Miss Liu. She hasn't even received her monthly allowance yet. If it had been paid on time, I don't think this would have happened."

The old lady was angry: "Who knows what little Liu is up to? The power of the housekeeper has been in her hands for so many years."

It is really disappointing for her that this kind of thing happened now.

As soon as they approached Qinghexuan, they could hear chaotic noises, fighting, scolding, shouting, all kinds of unbearable words, and confrontations. Even when the old lady appeared in front of them, those old women were still fighting, with no intention of stopping.

The old lady's expression was unusually cold, and Mother Hong yelled.

"Stop it! You all have no rules. If you keep fighting, I'll sell you out. You're already this old, but you still don't know how to behave and restrain yourself."

The mothers who were playing together heard Mother Hong's warning and saw the old lady the moment they stopped. They never thought that this incident would alarm the old lady.

Everyone seemed extremely terrified at this moment: "Old Madam..."

The old lady was so angry that she interrupted them suddenly: "Come here, arrest all those who just started the fight and lock them up. No one is allowed to be released without my order."

"Yes!"

Soon, all the mothers who had committed the crime were arrested. They all felt very aggrieved because they were clearly the victims and had come to ask for their monthly allowance, but they did not expect to be locked up.

Some said indignantly.

"Please spare us, old lady. We were impulsive in doing this, but who doesn't work for a few taels of silver? If it weren't for Miss Liu's reluctance to pay us the monthly allowance, we wouldn't have done this."

This further aroused the old lady's dissatisfaction with Liu Xiaoniang. She waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and drag him away."

I find this so annoying when I hear it.

The people who were dragging them away quickened their movements, and soon Qinghexuan returned to its former quietness, and those who came to receive their monthly allowance dared not say a word anymore.

Mother Hong glanced at the old lady and scolded her, "Why are you all still unwilling to leave? Do you want to be sold out? If so, you can continue to stay here."

Soon, those people dispersed, as they were afraid that if they slowed down a little bit they would be angered by the old lady.

The old lady looked at the main courtyard, sneered, and did not go in.

"Go find Yuan'er and tell him what happened in the yard."

Mother Hong nodded: "Yes, old lady."

After giving the order, the old lady turned and left. Chen Wan was dumbfounded. Wasn't she going to ask more questions? She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to, for fear of bringing bad luck.

Never mind. Anyway, I have told my lord about this matter. I will just wait and see how he handles it.

Liu Xiaoniang in the room never showed up, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't dare. Now that the matter had become a big deal, she was also very scared and didn't know why such a big change had happened out of the blue.

Obviously everything is going according to plan?!
