Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Has the mother-in-law misunderstood? Or someone slandered the mother-in-law and slandered the daughter-in-law.

Gu Jiu's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, as if to determine who was slandering the princess.

Many people subconsciously avoided under her gaze.

Some people didn't care, and responded to her gaze generously.

Snapped!

Mr. Pei patted the table, pointed at Gu Jiu, and said angrily, Don't talk to irrelevant people. It's a fact that you moved the items in the tourmaline pavilion. So many people have seen it, do you still deny it?

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, My daughter-in-law didn't want to deny it. My daughter-in-law did ask someone to remove the items in the Tourmaline Pavilion, but her daughter-in-law did so on orders.

Without the permission of the father and the king, the daughter-in-law would never dare to touch the items of the tourmaline pavilion.

The mother-in-law carefully thought about how many guards, how many Huangmen, and how many strong servants in the tourmaline pavilion.

So many stares, if there is no permission from the father and the king, the daughter-in-law would not dare to move the items of the tourmaline pavilion with great fanfare.

Those guards are not incompetent, they can bring down their daughter-in-law as soon as they make a move. If the mother-in-law does not believe it, she can send someone to the tourmaline pavilion to ask the father and the king, and you will know that the daughter-in-law said nothing false.

Pei shi frowned, there is some truth to what he said.

The guards of the Tourmaline Pavilion are not decorations, how could they watch Gu Jiu move things away, but be indifferent.

Xiao Qin'er jumped out and said, Sister-in-law is very tongue-in-cheek. Who knows if the elder sister-in-law used some tricks to play tricks on the father, so that the father agrees with you to move the items of the tourmaline pavilion.

Gu Jiu turned around, stared at Xiao Qin'er, and asked, Are the fourth younger siblings questioning the judgment of the father and the king? The father is young, strong, and resourceful. What are the four younger brothers and sisters who have the heart to slander the father and the king's old age and confusion? influences?

How could I, how could I have the ability to influence the judgment of the king. Fourth younger brother and sister, I really did not expect that you are respectful and filial on the surface, but in private you are looking forward to your father and the king to grow old soon, and be a foolish old man.

I don't, don't slander me. Xiao Qin'er became anxious, her eyes flushed.

Mother-in-law, my sister-in-law slandered me, distorted my words, and punished me with every word. With her sharp mouth, she could make her life come alive, and she dared to accuse me of being ill-intentioned. The mother-in-law decides for me.

Xiao Qin'er knelt in front of Mrs. Pei,

Weeping and weeping, a look of great grievance.

Pei squinted and looked left and right, come here, go to the tourmaline pavilion to ask the prince, whether the eldest lady has his consent to carry the items from the tourmaline pavilion.

The servants lead the way.

Pei continued: This princess will find out about this matter and will never wrong anyone. However, Dalang's wife, you really know how to tell lies, and this princess almost believed you.

Gu Jiu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, Daughter-in-law doesn't dare to tell right and wrong. If she really wants to be held accountable, she also asks the concubine to ask the fourth younger sister, what is her intention? Could it be that the fourth younger sister thinks that my son is in prison, and the fourth son can replace him?

Xiao Qin'er knelt on the ground, while Gu Jiu always stood.

The two were tall and the other was short, and it seemed that Gu Jiu was a bit worse off in terms of aura.

So she jumped up from the ground, pointed at Gu Jiu, and said angrily, I've never thought about it that way. Sister-in-law, please don't make random guesses and wronged a good person.

Gu Jiu looked at her with a half-smile, This is exactly what I want to say to the fourth siblings. Please be kind and don't wrong people.

Mother! Xiao Qin'er cried again.

She whimpered, very pitiful.

Pei was indifferent.

She has seen too many people cry in her life.

The palace came and went, so many women, a few had never cried in front of her.

If she expects to cry, it will soften her heart, which is simply delusional.

Xiao Qiner cried for a long time, but Princess Pei didn't respond.

She was embarrassed.

She covered her face, lowered her head, and moved her eyes. Should she continue crying, or should she take the opportunity to shut up.

It's so hard to choose.

Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, it was all Gu Jiu's fault.

Gu Jiu is an evil spirit.

The servant who went to the Tourmaline Pavilion to inquire about the news has returned.

Reporting to the queen concubine, the lord said that the eldest lady was acting on orders. It just so happened that the lord wanted to change the decorations in the side hall, so let the eldest lady handle it for you.

Pei shi frowned, Is that what the lord really said?

The servant nodded, The slaves dare not deceive the lady.

Go back.

As ordered.

Pei shi looked at Gu Jiu, Since you are acting on orders, this princess will not hold you accountable for this matter. But next time, you'd better report to this princess in advance.

Daughter-in-law obeys.

Then Mrs. Pei said, You are concubines. This princess hopes that you can get along in harmony, and don't make things out of nothing, and don't stir up trouble. If anyone makes three nests and four, and refuses to settle down, this princess will naturally not be polite.

Xiao Qin'er shivered, and took the opportunity to stop crying, Daughter-in-law will follow the teachings of the mother-in-law.

Pei was just about to send everyone off, but at this moment, the servant reported that the Lord of Huyang County was here.

The Huyang County Lord still lives in the palace, and has not returned to the County Lord's Mansion.

What she meant was that she didn't want to go back to the county master's mansion. I am afraid that when I go back, I will remember the tragic death of Consort Chen.

Since the Lord of Huyang County is here, everyone will sit still. They all want to see why the Huyang County Lord came over.

After a while, the Huyang County Master was invited to the hall.

Princess Huyang's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried.

She looked miserable, Sister-in-law, I dreamed of the concubine, he was so miserable, he couldn't rest his eyes.

Mr. Pei frowned, although he didn't want to see the Huyang County Master, but he couldn't fall into the trap.

She reassured: Don't think wildly. As the so-called day and night have dreams, you have to find something to do and distract your attention.

The county master of Huyang shook his head again and again, No. The concubine told me in a dream that he was so miserable, his body was incomplete, and Lord Yan wanted to put him in a frying pan. Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?

Concubine Shen suggested: If you don't go to the temple, do a ritual for Consort Chen.

The Lord of Huyang County looked at Mrs. Pei eagerly.

Shi Pei frowned, It's about Consort Chen, it's up to you, Huyang, to make up your mind.

The Lord of Huyang County said: I plan to go to the temple to perform a ritual for the concubine, adding a few thousand taels of sesame oil, so that the concubine can give birth to a good child in the next life. However, I was too shy, and was fined by the father for three years. , and also ask my sister-in-law to donate generously to support one or two.

Pei's anger fell to his knees, and he dared to feel that the Lord of Huyang County came to ask for money.

She said with a displeased face: Don't you know the situation in the house? The household department cleared the debts, and the prince emptied the family, only to collect tens of thousands of taels, and all of them were taken to the household for exchange. Except for this month's food expenses, there is not a single penny.

The Huyang County Master said, But I heard that Brother Wang used the Southwest Silver to cover the official Ping Yin, so there should be 40,000 to 50,000 taels of Guan Ping Yin left in the palace.

Since she is rich, why should my sister-in-law call me poor in front of me? No matter how poor the palace is, can I still be poor? Or, my sister-in-law doesn't want to lend me money?

Mrs. Pei was annoyed, You also said that the Ministry of Household is clearing up the debts, and you didn't think about how to pool the money back to the Ministry of Household, but only thought about adding a few thousand taels of sesame oil to do things for the concubine Chen. You are very generous.

The first shot is several thousand taels of silver, and you don't even think about it, whose money is all this money? When the matter spread to the palace, His Majesty asked you if you have money to add sesame oil, but no money to repay the debt, how would you answer? Have you thought about it?

The eyes of Huyang County's eyes were red, and tears fell down his cheeks, I don't know what my sister-in-law said. But the concubine really died so miserably! Can't my sister-in-law show kindness? Are you dying with your concubine?

Mrs. Pei said angrily: Stop talking about Consort Chen. Consort Chen has been reduced to this day, and it is all because of you. Now, you still don't want to repent. Do you want to kill the palace?

The Lord of Huyang County suddenly raised the volume and burst into tears, Sister-in-law is poking at my heart. Since the accident, I have never left the palace for half a step, and I keep myself safe every day. My sister-in-law yells and kills me. I also blame me for being involved in the palace. Since that's the case, why don't I go to the palace now to meet my mother-in-law.

Mrs Pei sneered, Go into the palace if you have the guts, this princess is afraid that you won't succeed. I'm afraid that as soon as you enter the palace, His Majesty will get news and ask you to go over and question.

I would like to know how you would deal with His Majesty's questioning. But don't put yourself in at the end, and you will be fined another three years.

This is also the reason why Huyang did not dare to enter the palace.

She was afraid that the emperor would question him, and she was afraid of facing the emperor.

The emperor decreed that Concubine Chen beheaded the city, which really frightened Huyang.

She really doesn't have the guts to enter the palace now.

But bluffing, she will.

She got up from the chair, Okay, since my sister-in-law wants me to die, then I will enter the palace now. The royal father really wants to punish me. If I don't have money, I can't live, so I simply sell the county master's mansion. , in exchange for money for the three of us, mother and son, to live.

She gestured towards the outside.

Concubine Shen hurriedly persuaded: The county master should not act on his will. You should do things for Chen Concubine. This is what you should do.

Just adding a few thousand taels of sesame oil at a time is too eye-catching at this juncture. Also ask the princess to think twice.

It is better to reduce the sesame oil money slightly. Now the palace is indeed very difficult, and there is no money to come out.

We Tao's private house money, let's pool together, and make a sum of sesame oil money for you, are you optimistic?

Huyang cried, Sister Shen still loves me.

Pei's anger was half-dead, Who is your sister-in-law?

She even called Concubine Shen as her sister-in-law, and Huyang should fight.

Hu Yang wiped away his tears, Concubine Shen also has the Golden Book of Jade Butterfly, and she also gave birth to children for the king, shouldn't she be called sister-in-law?

Don't, don't call me sister-in-law. The county master is too proud of me. Concubine Shen was terrified, but she couldn't be more happy in her heart.

Seeing Mr. Pei's face turning blue with anger, it was really heartwarming.

Mr. Pei pointed at the county master of Huyang, Just based on your attitude, you still want to take money from this princess. I tell you, there is no way. Go back to the guest house for this princess and be honest, and you are not allowed to leave the palace.

Hu Yang snorted, This is Brother Wang's mansion, you have no right to interfere with me. If you don't give money, I'll go to Brother Wang.

The county master of Huyang ran out angrily.

Pei rubbed his forehead, I'm so pissed off that this princess is so pissed off. I've had eight lifetimes of blood and mold for this little sister-in-law.

Wangfei Niangniang, please be careful. After all these years, why bother with Huyang. Concubine Shen persuaded with sincerity.

Pei shi stared at Concubine Shen, Shut up for this princess. You and Huyang County Master sing together, do you really think this princess can't see it?

Concubine Shen shouted: I am wronged by the concubine! The princess is angry with Huyang, why should she turn her anger on the concubine?

Pei's face was impatient, Get out, get out of here, all for this princess.

She thought, in this life, she will really die at the hands of Huyang.

Huyang is definitely here to beat her.

No, she couldn't just watch Huyang move the money from the palace outside.

Come here, let this princess stare at the tourmaline pavilion. If there is any trouble, report it immediately.

The servants lead the way.

Everyone has already left Chunhetang.

Concubine Luo whispered to Concubine Shen, Is there really 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver in the account?

Who knows. Concubine Shen said indifferently.

Concubine Luo murmured in a low voice, The lord used southwest silver to exchange official and flat silver. If this is true, then the palace must still have some money saved. Since there is money, why does the wangfei still say that there is no money, and let me wait for the cutting fee.

Concubine Shen chuckled, It's all excuses.

Concubine Luo thought for a while and caught up with Gu Jiu.

Madam, please stay.

Gu Jiu turned around, Concubine Luo called me, but she has something to tell me.

Concubine Luo Fang politely said, I don't dare to be told. There is only one thing, I want to verify.

Gu Jiu understood it, but still asked, What's the matter?

Concubine Luo asked in a low voice, My lord used 45,000 taels of southwest silver to cover Guanping silver. Is this true?

Gu Jiu nodded, acquiescing.

Concubine Luo hurriedly said: So, Huyang didn't lie, the palace does have a deposit of 45,000 taels of silver.

Gu Jiu smiled, I don't know about this. Concubine Luo Fang might as well ask the prince.

Concubine Luo shook her head again and again, how could she have the courage to ask King Ning.

Thank you madam for telling the truth.

After that, Concubine Luo caught up with Concubine Shen and left in a hurry.

Fang Momo whispered to Gu Jiu, The concubine Wang Fei wanted to cut the cost of each hospital on the pretext that the government had no money to repay the debt. Now it seems that Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo are definitely not willing to be cut.

Gu Jiu said softly: It's easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to change from luxury to frugality. After living a rich life, of course no one is willing to be cut and paid. The princess' move may cause a hornet's nest.

Ouyang Fu sighed, with a sad face, If the concubine wants to cut the cost of each hospital, she will definitely use all the concubines to operate. In our courtyard, it will be miserable soon.

Gu Jiu looked at her and comforted: The princess is just talking about it, she doesn't really want to cut the cost, the second brother and sister don't need to worry too much.

Ouyang Fu shook her head, Sister-in-law doesn't know. Actually, last year, the mother-in-law mentioned that she would cut the fee, but she didn't find an opportunity. This time the household department will clear the arrears, the mother-in-law will definitely not miss this opportunity.

Oh?

It turned out that Mr. Pei had this idea for a long time, not a temporary one.

In this case, Mr. Pei is likely to come to really, really cut the fees of each hospital.

Gu Jiu asked, Do the second siblings know what aspects the princess plans to cut?

If you want to cut costs, either layoffs or pay cuts, usually these two ways.

Speaking of which, the expenses of the palace are really scary, and the monthly expenses are in units of 10,000.

For a palace with nearly a thousand people, the monthly bill alone costs tens of thousands of taels per month.

In addition to eating, drinking, entertainment, and personal exchanges, there is no cost of 30,000 or 40,000 to 40,000 yuan a month, which is not enough.

If there are three festivals and two birthdays, it will be even more incredible, I am afraid that one hundred thousand taels will be spent.

And King Ning wants to support people, so naturally he can't be stingy.

After calculating this sum of money, it is no wonder that the palace has to go to the Ministry of Household to fight the autumn wind every year, and it owes 300,000 taels in a few years.

It is only natural that Pei wants to cut the cost.

Expenditure is too high, no matter how unrestrained it is, the palace will have to eat all the food, just like the Lord of Huyang, worrying about money every day.

Ouyang Fu said: It may cut the number of people, and it may also reduce the monthly payment of the servants.

Gu Jiu said: Just by reducing the monthly bills of servants, you won't save much money in a month. To solve the problem of money, we still need to open source.

The court system is here, and the area of ​​the palace is so large. Such a big mansion has to support so many people in order to manage it.

Just sweeping, such a large area, is not the various vacuum cleaners and various automated tools in the past life. These days, it all depends on manpower to clean and wipe every inch. Think about the workload, how many people have to be busy.

If you suddenly cut off the servant's monthly money, you can get it with your toes, and the servant must be full of resentment and all kinds of passive sabotage.

If you can't cut monthly money, you can only lay off people.

However, when people are laid off, such as Sasou, there are not enough people to do it. If the cleaning is not in place, dust will inevitably accumulate on the ground.

This is not decent enough.
