After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

Seeing her like this, the maidservant beside her couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Now that the master has returned to the capital and has been promoted, does he still have to give money to others? Shouldn't others flatter us?"

Qin Suyu glanced at her unhappily and explained, "What do you know? Father has been favored by the emperor now, and it is time for him to climb up the ladder. He has to make connections everywhere, and he cannot do without money. This money is used to open up personal connections and to maintain the family's status."

The more she spoke, the more upset she became. She simply pushed the account book away in front of her, propped her head up, and closed her eyes to rest.

However, the anxiety in my heart is like the flying snow in the sky, fluttering and difficult to calm down.

Qin Suyu sat in her boudoir. Under the flickering light, there was a hint of fatigue and determination in her eyes.

Last night, she tossed and turned, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind, as if a silent storm was raging in her heart.

It was not until the sky turned white that she finally understood that the Qin family’s current predicament could only be overcome by living frugally.

It would be a long-term plan to wait until the Qin Mansion recovers in the future and then slowly make plans.

She coughed lightly a few times, her voice a little hoarse, but still majestic: "Go, invite the housekeepers and nannies in the mansion." Although her voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable determination.

Soon, the housekeepers and maids came in one after another, with some confusion and uneasiness on their faces.

Qin Suyu took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "The government has been spending too much recently. After careful consideration, I have decided to cut expenses and reduce the allowance by half."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several leading maids suddenly darkened. They looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Qin Suyu became anxious upon seeing this. She knew that these maids had a high status in the mansion, so it would not be easy to reduce their rights and interests now.

She had no choice but to be patient and continued, "My dear maids, you all know the current situation of the Qin Mansion. I have no other choice but to resort to this last resort."

A housekeeper frowned and said reluctantly, "The mansion has never cut expenses before, but now the second young lady has cut them as soon as she took office. This..."

She hadn't finished her words, but her meaning was clear enough.

With her taking the lead, several matrons in charge also followed suit, their words full of complaints and dissatisfaction.

Qin Suyu felt mixed emotions as she listened to their words.

She grew up in Zhuangzi and had never experienced such difficulties and disputes.

Qin Suyu knew that she would offend many people by doing this, but she also knew that if she didn't do this, the Qin family might not last more than a few months.

She gritted her teeth and strengthened her determination.

After Qin Suyu's repeated persuasion, the maids in charge finally gave in.

However, the news quickly spread throughout the palace, and complaints were heard everywhere.

Qin Suyu heard the little girls gathered together and chatting in the evening, and they sounded quite dissatisfied with her decision to lay off girls.

She was angry, but helpless.

"This second young lady cut the allowances for everyone in the mansion as soon as she took office. She is so stingy."

A little girl said indignantly.

"Yes, our Qin Mansion is already inferior to those noble families, and now it is even worse."

Another little girl echoed.

"She grew up on the farm, how could she understand the rules and expenses of the mansion?"

Another little girl said sarcastically.

When Qin Suyu heard these words, her face turned pale. She was so angry that she wanted to rush out and tear the mouths of these little girls.

But she knew she couldn't do that.

Qin Suyu could only suppress her anger and asked her maid to stop them.

Several little girls were frightened and ran away in all directions, while Qin Suyu sat alone in the house, feeling annoyed and helpless.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the mansion quietly changed.

As the order to cut the allowance was issued, the once prosperous mansion seemed to be shrouded in an invisible cloud.

Although the monthly wages of the servants and their masters remained unchanged, their food, clothing and other expenses were cut in half, instantly cooling the luxurious atmosphere in the mansion.

When the order was first issued, everyone was still able to maintain outward respect, but as time went on, the mentality of the maids in charge quietly changed.

Their eyes were no longer filled with awe for their masters, and they did things carelessly, as if they had forgotten even the most basic duties.

Qin Suyu was naturally at a loss when faced with such changes.

She knew that the position she had taken over would not be easy, but she did not expect it to be so difficult.

The things Qin Suyu ordered were always delayed again and again, as if the entire mansion was against her.

The little maids were talking about her behind her back, saying how mean she was and how she mistreat the servants after gaining power.

A few days ago, everyone in the mansion was respectful and flattering to Qin Suyu, but now she is hated by the whole mansion.

Qin Suyu had to put on a smile during the day and endure it all silently.

But at night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The grievance and unwillingness in her heart turned into tears, flowing silently.

After a few days, she had lost a lot of weight, and even her once bright eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy.

Qin Suling naturally heard these complaints as well.

She looked at Qin Suyu's increasingly thin figure and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

It seems that her younger sister has not had an easy time since taking over the household management.

However, Qin Suling would not let her go just because of this.

She wants to make Qin Suyu's life even more difficult, and she wants to add fuel to the fire herself!

Qin Suling sat on the soft couch in her boudoir, gently stroking the exquisite jade fan in her hand.

There was a cold light flashing in her eyes, as if she had already seen Qin Suyu's miserable appearance.

She called her personal maid Jinlan and whispered, "Go and call all the maids in charge of the mansion. I have something to say to them."

Jin Lan took the order and left. After a while, she brought the maids in charge to Qin Suling's boudoir.

Qin Suling looked at them with a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

She spoke slowly, with a hint of coldness in her voice: "Madams, I know you are a little dissatisfied with Qin Suyu's behavior. But what I want to tell you is that the rules of this mansion are set by me. Qin Suyu is just a newcomer, she doesn't understand the rules, so naturally she needs time to adapt. But you are different, you are all old people in the mansion, you should understand the rules of this mansion."

"From now on, if you dare to be disrespectful to Qin Suyu again, or if you pretend to obey but actually disobey, delay or shirk responsibility, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Qin Suling finished her words, the maids in charge lowered their heads one after another, not daring to refute at all.

They knew that this young lady's methods were no joke.

Qin Suling looked at their reactions with satisfaction and sneered in her heart.

She knew that her words were enough to make the maids in charge even more dissatisfied with Qin Suyu.

And she will continue to secretly control all this, making Qin Suyu's life even more difficult.
