It would be great if you know, but Butler Xiao nodded with confidence.

As a result, in the afternoon, Xiao Jingtang personally brought two boxes of silver, totaling 1,000 taels, and went to the West Courtyard.

"What are you doing?" He looked at him with a sarcastic look and said gently: "Have you received the pension?"

"I came in person." Xiao Jingtang said.

"Oh, thank you." Rolling his eyes, Gentle became even more angry: "Do I have to greet you at the door? Thank you for thinking I am worth so much money?"

Xiao Jingtang frowned: "How come you are a woman who is good or bad, and you don't eat it?"

"I don't know whether I'm good or bad?" Gentle furious: "I can tell you very clearly! Whoever treats me well or who treats me badly can tell you if you have eyes!"

She likes money very much at other times, but she is not short of money now, not to mention that this man forced her and tried to apologize for money?

No wonder his aunt in the yard doesn’t like him! This guy’s skill in flirting with girls is simply unfair!

Xiao Jingtang was extremely unhappy: "I am not good to you when I am like this now? I'm afraid you have been too long and have you forgotten what the real bad looks like?"

"I forgot." Gentle nodded and looked at him like a cockfighting: "Well, Master Xiao, let me recall the memories?"

"Okay." Xiao Jingtang nodded, looked at her deeply, turned around and left.

Butler Xiao was stunned by the side. He looked at the second young master who had strode away, then looked at the angry second young master, and hurriedly said, "Why are you so angry at young master? The second young master has been sitting in peace today and wants to apologize. Why do you want him to get out of Taiwan?"

"Does he want to apologize?" Gentle glared: "Is he going to be angry with me on purpose?"

"Oh..." The housekeeper didn't know what to say, so he stood in embarrassment for a while, but followed Xiao Jingtang.

After being angry for a while, Gentle Reun calmed down and asked Shufang weakly: "What he said is really bad, what does it look like?"

Shufang's face was tense, and she was silent for a while before saying, "The second young master used to ignore his master's life and death and did not come to the yard. The monthly rules he gave were no different from other concubines, but now you are in charge of the account book... I don't know if it can be better."

Can it be? A gentle and dry smile.

However, the reality is cruel. At the beginning of the month, it was time to pay the money, but there was news from the housekeeper that the monthly money in the backyard was only given 200 taels in total.

Two hundred taels! The monthly money she promised for each aunt was fifty taels, and the four aunts were already two hundred taels. What about her?

In ancient times, women were supported by men, so when men get angry, they cut off their food and clothing and monthly money, and women have no way to do anything. No matter how deep the relationship is, there are always times of quarrels and friction. Once the quarrels, the woman can't live with the man, so they fall below and swallow their anger.

Wenrou thought about making money as soon as she came, so she took the two hundred taels and invited the concubines in the yard again. In front of Butler Xiao, she said: "Our second young master has not been able to turn over recently, and has reduced the cost of the backyard. The accountant has only given two hundred taels in total this month. According to what he promised you before, each person will be fifty taels, so I don't need it."

It was not very pleasant to have a meeting last time. The expressions of several concubines were not very good. When they heard this, they were surprised: "How could this happen?"

Butler Xiao was next to him, and how could Du Wenrou be able to bribe him and lie. Ruan Miaomeng frowned and asked, "Take it serious?"

"The Second Young Master Grandma didn't lie." Butler Xiao said honestly: "The Second Young Master has indeed only given two hundred taels to the backyard this month."

Everyone was stunned. Su Lanjin glanced at Wenrou: "Don't you really want that second young lady?"

"No." Shrugged and said gently: "Anyway, I can't starve even if I have food and clothing in this mansion."

He spoke much more approachable than before, and his attitude was not so annoying. The concubines were not unreasonable, and their expressions immediately eased a lot. Murong Yin, who had not spoken, whispered: "It seems that the second young master has offended the second young master again."

Otherwise, after a good life, how could it be even more harsh if you don’t have thousands of favors?

"I don't match his horoscope." Wenrou said seriously: "He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either, so there is no competitive relationship with you at all. You can ask me to play mahjong or something if you have nothing to do, and I'm very welcome."

"What is mahjong?" Ruan Miaomeng asked curiously.

Gentle glaring: "There hasn't been mahjong in your era yet? Then what do you usually play?"

I couldn't understand the first half of the sentence, but Ling Wanmei next to me still replied softly: "We usually embroider, make clothes, or go to the street to buy something."

How boring this is! Gentle shook your head and said, "You four are just enough to get a table of mahjong. Mahjong is a very fun card game. I'll find someone to customize it and come back to teach you how to play it."

The four aunts looked at me and I looked at you. Although I felt that the second young lady's attitude changed too quickly, I really wanted to know what mahjong was, so I nodded.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do after receiving the money." He said gently: "I'll continue to worry about the second young master's concubine ceremony. You all go and play."

Looking at her, Ruan Miaomeng asked, "Grandma Er is going to take a concubine?"

"Of course I'm going." Gentle smiled: "After all, I have to do it."

Murong Yin frowned: "The Second Young Master Grandma has really changed a lot."

"It's been changed, everyone is living a more comfortable life." Shrugged and said gently: "It's really good to be happy for everyone. Don't take your old grudges to heart, especially Miaomeng. I'll explain it again. The poison on the jewelry is really not what I want to put."

After looking at her strangely, Ruan Miaomeng nodded. When the aunts listened, they were still confused, but they didn't say it out, just waiting to go out before muttering.

It was already lunch time to see these four women off. I sat on the table with gentle and joyful heart, but I saw a full table of vegetables and tofu.

"What's this?" said darkly, "Didn't you still have all meat before? You didn't have any cushioning, and you just feasted in the whole vegetarian feast?"

Shufang sighed: "You should know that this is the result."

"Are he not afraid that I will complain to Mrs. Xiao?"

Shaking his head, Shufang said, "You have been eating vegetarian banquets before, and you told your wife that you like to eat vegetarian food."

In other words, it is useless to complain now, Xiao Jingtang is going to make it for her.

He sneered gently, stared at the table of vegetables and tofu, and did not move his chopsticks, and let the kitchen retreat as it was.

"How much do you eat?" Shufang frowned: "How can you not eat?"

"It's okay, he can't be hungry." He got up and changed his clothes, and said gently: "Let's go out to eat secretly. When someone asks me, the little girls said I was so angry that I couldn't eat and was sleeping. We will come back in half an hour."

Go out to eat? How can I get money? Shufang was about to ask, but Wenrou covered her mouth without saying a word, dragged someone to explain to the little maid, and then walked out like a thief.

Xiao Jingtang had a meal in his room. He looked at the butler next to him for several times, but didn't ask anything. But Butler Xiao watched him grow up after all, knew what he meant, and replied in a low voice: "The second young lady has no lunch, she's resting."

Don't eat? Xiao Jingtang snorted coldly: "I used to know that I wouldn't be hungry, but now I'm good. I'll throw a tantrum. It depends on how long she can be hungry."

There is no money this month, and you still dare not eat? I muttered to myself. The second young master picked up a few bites of food and put the chopsticks. He went back to the desk to continue checking the accounts. He looked up and said, "If she is hungry, she asks the kitchen for food, so the kitchen is not allowed to give it to her."

"Yes." The housekeeper agreed.

An hour passed, and the second young master flipped through the account book and looked up at him a few more times.

Butler Xiao said seriously: "The kitchen has no food to deliver."

I really don't give it? Frowning, Xiao Jingtang said, "I'm so hungry that my mother is going to teach me again? Let me send some food."

"Yes." Just as she was about to go out and give orders, the second young master stopped him again: "Add a plate of meat and vegetables, otherwise she would not eat it."

Butler Xiao: "..." Is this tormenting the Second Young Master Grandma, or tormenting him himself?

Wen Rou and Shufang ate outside, touched their stomachs and lay in the yard basking in the sun. Suddenly, they watched the kitchen deliver food.

"Grandma Second Young Master..." The servant in the kitchen carried the food box. Before he could say anything, he gently said: "If you don't eat, take it away!"

The servant was stunned and opened the food box to show her: "The Second Young Master has added food to you."

"Who cares?" Rolling his eyes and waved gently: "Take it away."

The servant had no choice but to take the food box to the second young master's main courtyard. After telling the situation, the second young master said expressionlessly: "It's okay if she doesn't eat it, she deserves to starve to death, and take the food to others."

After saying that, I continued reading, looking indifferent.

Since he was so unwilling to care, what else should I add? The servant muttered in his heart and left with the food box.

During dinner, Butler Xiao asked in front of Xiao Jingtang: "Do you want to give food to the West Courtyard?"

"No." Xiao Jingtang looked cold: "She doesn't want to eat, so don't eat it."

He was so angry that Butler Xiao shook his head: "If you don't say anything, don't be soft-hearted."

"Who will be soft-hearted?" Xiao Jingtang sneered: "Will I still beg her to eat?"

He said he didn't ask for anything but he really didn't ask for anything. The West Courtyard hadn't accepted the kitchen food for two consecutive days. It was like a concubine's ceremony. Xiao Jingtang threw the account book and asked coldly: "Did she starve to death? Can she still participate?"

"There is no news over the West Courtyard." Butler Xiao said a little strangely: "I didn't even call a doctor."

Could it be that he was really starved to death? He felt panicked, and the second young master hurriedly stepped out of the door.
