"Girl, this Liu Biyan is so shameless. She gave them such a big house by the lake, but she still wants to live in Liuyuan!" Qingshuang was indignant.

Gu Feiwan was just taking the handkerchief handed to her by Nanny Zhu and wiping her face carefully.

"Young lady, you did a great job this time. When it comes to pretending to be weak and obedient, which girl can't do that?" Nanny Zhu said with a smile:

"The old lady once said, use your own spear to attack your own shield. Miss, you are on your way!"

Gu Feiwan rubbed his cheeks, his eyes full of smiles: "It's hard for Liu Biyan to cry easily, it turns out that it's really hard to do it! Now I admire her a little bit!"

"Before leaving, Nanny Wu was still staring at the silver on the table. She is so greedy!" Qingshuang felt sick as if she had swallowed a fly alive when she thought of Nanny Wu's eyes.

"Maybe they are having trouble with the money over there!" Gu Feiwan threw away the handkerchief and raised his hand to let Doctor Song, who was waiting beside him, feel his pulse.

"My grandfather and my aunt didn't live well originally. The house by the lake was bought by the general. When they moved in, the general must have given them a lot of money, so they could buy the servants and maids. Now my aunt is not here, and she gave me the account book before she left. The general is a warrior with a simple mind. When the flood happened, he must have been very busy. It was good that he could take care of my grandfather's medicine. How could he understand the scene that Liu Biyan put on for the sake of face?"

"Then why wouldn't Liu Biyan ask the general for it?" Not only was Qingshuang puzzled, even Nanny Wu couldn't figure it out. How could a favored concubine of a general be so coveted even a hundred taels of silver?

Gu Feiwan opened his mouth and wanted to say that your general never went to other people's rooms.

Even if the fake heard these words, how could he dare to ask Ning Weizhou for money? Naturally, he would evade the question.

Besides, in order to maintain her pure and noble image, Liu Biyan would not ask for money again and again even if she was penniless. Now she must be really desperate to come to me.

"How much salary can a general get? The rewards from the emperor are hard to exchange for money. In the past, they were only enough to cover the expenses of the mansion. Now Liu Biyan often invites noble ladies from Wuzhou to banquets, either to appreciate flowers or to compose poems. There are always two or three banquets in ten days. How can that little money be enough?"

Anyway, Qinglin is not here, Qingshuang is a person who never looks at the account book, and Nanny Zhu started serving her only after she went to Jiangnan. After Gu Feiwan said this, everyone in the room believed it!

"Yes, in terms of money, the general is a little poor!" Qingshuang curled her lips.

Gu Feiwan smiled secretly, but his face was still thoughtful. "It's one thing to say that they are afraid of flooding over there. I'm afraid Liu Biyan is really stretched to the limit right now. Grandfather's medicine is constantly being taken every day, and tonics are also indispensable. She is pregnant, so her diet and living conditions have to be particular. The general's salary can't support her."

Qing Shuang curled her lips and said, "So what? Didn't she come to be my concubine herself? If you have the ability, go and earn money yourself. If you don't have the ability, stop doing these things!"

"How can a villain easily let go of his pomp and circumstance when he is successful?" Nanny Zhu thought about it and became a little worried:

"Everything is very expensive out there now. We have farms and shops to give us, but there are none over there. If the general feels bad, he will have to ask the young lady for help. Then..."

Nanny Zhu's worries were not without reason, but Gu Feiwan knew that in the house over there, only her grandfather was the one Ning Weizhou cared about.

To put it bluntly, if there really was a backflow of flood water, the person Ning Weizhou would save would be Sheng Bingwen first, and then it would be Liu Biyan's turn.

"In the Gu family's shop, the price of rice has not increased. If Liu Biyan can put aside her pride and let people buy rice every day, there will be no problem filling her stomach. When the water recedes, the clinic will also sell plague-fighting herbs at a reasonable price. As for relief, how many displaced people in Wuzhou need help? No one living in a wealthy family wants help everywhere!"

Gu Feiwan pinched her arm. In order to raise rice, grain and medicinal herbs, she and Huang Mazi had been checking the account books every day. Her waist was sore and her eyes were dizzy.

Liu Biyan pretends to be noble while wanting to reap the fruits of others' labor. She is dreaming!

"Miss, you're right. Our money didn't come from the wind. Why should we give it to her?" Qingshuang took the jade wheel and rolled it back and forth on Gu Feiwan's arm:

"If the general says something unreasonable like that, we will go back to the capital and file a complaint!"

Nanny Zhu glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who wants to ascend to heaven every day!"

Turning around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up!

Qingshuang was right. If Ning Weizhou went too far, let the girl go back to the Gu family. She can live a comfortable life even if she doesn't eat the Ning family's rice!

The master and his two servants were talking happily, but Liu Biyan's yard was not so peaceful.

"She doesn't want to? Why doesn't she want to?" Liu Biyan held a hairpin in her hand. It was a token of love given to her by the general. She would take it out and look at it whenever she had nothing to do.

Normally, he would be very careful when handling it, but now he held it tightly.

When Nanny Wu saw this, she was horrified, fearing that the hairpin was so delicate that it could not withstand the force and would break, which would cause another big storm!

"Aunt, what the mistress said makes sense. This is her mother's house. If we move in, we will definitely be criticized!"

At this time, only Nanny Wu dared to say a few words of advice, while the other maids were all silent and pale.

"What's wrong with her mother's house? If she lives there, why can't the general live there? If the general lives there, why can't I live there? Besides, what's her mother's house or not? Why did I hear that this is her dowry? She just wants to eat alone and starve the baby in my belly to death!"

Nanny Wu secretly complained that her daughter was two completely different people in front of others and behind their backs.

She is sweet, innocent and sensible in front of others, and she always abides by the rules. But behind others' backs, she is picky and unreasonable, as moody as a three-year-old child!

The Liu family is a small family. If it weren't for the Chen family's help in spreading the word, how could Liu Biyan's talent and reputation spread throughout Wuzhou?

Now she came to the mansion to be the general's concubine. Fortunately, the mistress was of a weak character. Seeing that the general was in high spirits, she took the initiative to avoid him.

"Auntie, she is the mistress after all. No matter what, we have to respect her, right?" Aunt Wu persuaded patiently, as if she were coaxing a child:

"I think our mistress is not a hard-hearted person. She originally gave me 100 taels of silver, but I didn't take it because I remembered my aunt's instructions. Otherwise, I would have begged her to give me more silver. It would be nice for us to live here!"

The rain has gradually stopped in the past two days, and the lake water has stopped rising. The house by the lake is more than twice as big as Liu's. As long as they have money, life is still comfortable.

"Beg her?" Liu Biyan shouted, "She is a woman who has been despised by the general. How can I beg her?"

"But Auntie, the rice and flour stored in the mansion are almost gone, and people on the street are saying that there will definitely be a plague after the flood. With so many people in the mansion, we must prepare enough medicinal materials!"
