After being widowed and reborn, the regent will be my husband

Chapter 22

"What do you mean you can't do it? What do you mean?" Mrs. Lu jumped out of anger at the maid's words, and yelled at her directly.

The maid was panicked by the yelling, and she hurriedly bowed in fright and said, "Old lady, calm down, this servant is saying that the kitchen may not have enough money to buy vegetables."

"I don't have money to buy vegetables, what should I say?" Mrs. Lu was much less angry when she heard this, but she was extremely puzzled, and couldn't help but questioned the maid again.

"The servants don't know the specific situation, but the kitchen really can't afford the money to buy vegetables. When the servants went to them yesterday, they said that if they don't take the money to buy vegetables for them, the entire Lu Mansion may be out of food."

The maid had no choice but to tell her the real situation under Mrs. Lu's persecution. She had known about this for a long time, but seeing that Mrs. Lu was so emaciated about the Lu family's affairs these days, she didn't have anything to say. .

"The kitchen has no money to buy vegetables. How is this possible? The Lu family has no money to buy rice for cooking. It's a big joke to say it."

Mrs. Lu still couldn't believe it.

But she couldn't tolerate the words of her own personal maid. After all, you didn't need to tell such a lie.

"But that's the truth. They said that the eldest young lady hasn't allocated money to the kitchen recently, so that they have no money to buy vegetables."

The maid emphasized it again, saying that it was the reason why Jiang Yunshang didn't transfer the money.

But she didn't need to say this at all, after all, the consumption of the entire Lu family now really depends on Jiang Yunshang.

Originally, all the belongings of the Lu family were confiscated, and there was nothing of value left in the family.

The current expenses of the Lu family depend on Jiang Yunshang's dowry.

And when Jiang Yunshang got married, the Lu family didn't know about the fragmentary dowry, but she had ten shops that she knew from the accounts.

And six of these ten shops are in Ancheng.

It was because the Jiang family felt that it was inconvenient for their daughter's family to go out to do business, so they allocated more shops in Ancheng to her.

The Jiang family has absolutely nothing to say about doing business, and Jiang Yunshang is not inferior in doing business.

The business of these six shops is very prosperous, so it is not difficult to support the life of the Lu family.

Thanks to her, the Lu family ransacked the house, and after the owner was imprisoned, the quality of life still did not decrease too much.

But the old lady Lu never thought, how can the good Jiang Yunshang stop their food?

"No, I have to go to the kitchen to have a look first." The old lady Lu was so angry that she didn't even believe that the situation would be so bad, and wanted to find out the truth.

But she just took a step, and felt that there was no need to go to the kitchen, so she said to the maid: "Young lady, go and call her over."

"I heard from my servant that the young lady said that she is going to worship Buddha and burn incense. She may go for three or five days before returning."

The maid had no choice but to tell Mrs. Lu all about what she had inquired about.

When Mrs. Lu heard that Jiang Yunshang was no longer at home, the house became like this.

I'm even more angry.

"Okay, she's really good, she can flaunt around carefree, but she leaves us to suffer at home."

The old lady Lu blamed Jiang Yunshang instead, thinking that she made them suffer.

"Old madam, what should we do now? The young lady is not at home, and it's useless for us to blame. We should find a way to solve the problem of no rice in the kitchen."

Seeing the old lady Lu's angry look, the maid was a little flustered, and hurriedly persuaded the old lady Lu a few words.

Although the old lady Lu didn't go to the kitchen to see, the food served these days is indeed relatively poor.

She didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was just a temporary failure to buy good food, but she didn't expect that the kitchen had no money to buy food.

"I still have some things here that can be exchanged for money. Let them buy vegetables first, and let the master and the second young master have a good meal first."

In the end, Mrs. Lu did not lose her temper. After all, the situation has not been fully understood yet, so she wouldn't just tear her face up like this.

"Okay." The maid didn't say much, just responded, and hurried out with the jewelry she brought out.

"Third young master, are you looking for something to do with the old lady?" The maid bumped into Lu Mingqian when she went out.

Seeing that Lu Mingqian was walking towards Mrs. Lu's room, she stopped and asked.

"I have something to discuss with the old lady, is she in the room?"

Lu Mingqian nodded, and then asked the maid, Mrs. Lu, if she was in the room.

"The old lady cares about you, but she is not very comfortable at the moment. If the third young master is not a big deal, come back another day."

The maid knew that Mrs. Lu was in a bad mood now, and if she was disturbed, she would definitely lose her temper.

So he changed the excuse that she was not feeling well and asked Lu Mingqian to come back another day.

"I have something very important, which is about the life of the Lu family."

Lu Mingqian also came here for the living expenses of the Lu family.

The people in the kitchen have already found Lu Mingqian and explained their current embarrassment.

If there is no money left, the entire Lu Mansion will starve.

Anyway, Mrs. Lu is the head of the family, so he can only find Mrs. Lu for such a big incident.

"Oh, it turns out that the third young master is here for this matter. The old lady has already brought out some silver and jewelry, and let the slaves go and change them now. First welcome the master and the second young master back. There must be a way for them to come back."

When the maid heard that she was only concerned about the life of Lu's family, she felt that it should be easy for Lu Mingqian to be perfunctory.

"What, daddy and second brother are coming back, when did it happen?"

Lu Mingqian didn't know the news, but he didn't expect that he would go back and forth about the Lu family's affairs every day, and in the end, such a big matter about the Lu family was hidden from him.

"Is the third young master busy and confused outside these days? The whole Lu family knows about such a big news. The master and the second young master are back today and will be home soon."

The maid looked at him as if he didn't know anything, but explained it to him seriously.

"Oh, I've been busy outside for the past few days." Encountered in such a situation, Lu Mingqian felt extremely embarrassed, so he had to find such a sentence to cover up.

"Then, the third young master has nothing else to do? The maidservant has something to do, so let's go first."

The maid didn't intend to talk too much with Lu Mingqian, and soon planned to perfunctory and leave.

"By the way, hasn't anything else happened in the house these few days? When did your young lady Lu leave? Did she not arrange the situation at home every time she left?"

After Lu Mingqian took a step in the city, he suddenly followed up and asked such a question.
