Need for money

Now Tang Yuxiang's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he sighed softly.

Raising his legs, he walked slowly towards the living room. In the rain, Tang Yuxiang's delicate and pretty face was covered with exhaustion.

Before being robbed into the Lin Mansion, her family was poor and short of money, and her life was very difficult, but now that she has money in her hands, her life is still very tiring.

And the reality is that if you leave the Lin Mansion, your future will be bleak.

A while ago, she bought a pharmacy and named it Jishengtang. Although the price of the medicine was set very low at first, due to the large number of refugees and the large volume of sales, she could still earn a lot of money. The scoundrel boldly went to Jishengtang to forcefully collect protection fees in broad daylight, and she would have no income, and even lose money.

If it weren't for the agreement between Jishengtang and the Lin family, and there are many refugees who really need Jishengtang's help, she would have closed the door long ago.

Stepping on the slippery floor, the three walked into the room.

Jishengtang's business is not easy to do, the two little maids also know, and Zhidong has been in charge of this matter, seeing the master sitting down, Zhidong stepped forward to pour a cup of warm tea, handed it over, and asked : "Second Mistress, what are you going to do with the matter at Jishengtang?"

Tang Yuxiang had a headache when she heard the words, put down the teacup she had just received, and stroked her swollen forehead.

"Second grandma!" After Zhiqiu's injury recovered, she followed Zhidong to take care of Jishengtang's affairs, so she knew the current situation of the pharmacy very well. She still didn't want to tell the second master about it until now. , anxious, "Now that gang of scoundrels are bullying us, don't you still want to hide this matter from the second master?"

"Slow down." Tang Yuxiang really didn't want to talk about it.

"Slow down?" Zhiqiu's short-tempered faults reappeared, and his voice suddenly rose three or four times, "Slow down, those gangsters will take over Jishengtang!

Well, that's a shop that cost a full 1000 taels of silver, Second Mistress, 1000 taels of silver, you don't feel bad at all? "

That was 1000 taels of vain silver. How could Tang Yuxiang, who was born in poverty, not feel distressed, not to mention, it was her selling money!

Seeing that the master was still silent and didn't answer, Zhidong also said: "Second Mistress, please listen to the persuasion from the servant and quickly tell the Second Master about this matter, otherwise, or Jishengtang..."

"Stop talking!" Tang Yuxiang stood up abruptly, "I bought Jishengtang. Now someone is vying for money, won't I be angry? Not to mention that these people are not greedy enough and want to take my shop forcibly go!

But... but now the second master is very busy with opening up wasteland and digging canals, how can I bother him because of such a trivial matter! "

No one knew what Jishengtang meant to Tang Yuxiang. She was actually hit the hardest by all the incidents that happened in the pharmacy.

After all, in the past, she still wanted to leave the Lin Mansion and rely on Jishengtang to live.

Now, the intervention of those scoundrels is tantamount to breaking her way out and ruining her hope!

Of course, apart from the fact that Lin Jingzhi is too busy now and she really doesn't want to cause him trouble, because she harbors Xiao Jiujiu who wants to leave Lin's residence for a while, she is also ashamed to ask Lin Jingzhi for help.

Zhidong and Zhiqiu saw that their master was on fire, their faces were sour, they were too frightened to persuade them any more.

After uttering a serious sentence, she let out a bit of anger, and Tang Yuxiang's chest was no longer so stuffy and panicked, "I'll go to the back room to have a rest, so don't follow me in."

"Yes!" The two maids answered in unison.

Approaching the small door of the back room and lifting the curtain, Tang Yuxiang remembered Lin Jingzhi's previous instructions, and said again: "When the rain outside calms down, come and tell me, I still have something to tell, and, Zhidong, Go sit with Grandma Fang for a while, and if Second Master wakes up, let him go back here to rest, anyway, he and Grandma Fang haven't officially married yet, so he's staying there for the night now, so it won't have a good impact."

Zhidong's eyes brightened when he heard the words, he nodded quickly, and ran out in a gust of wind.

Zhiqiu was also very happy, her big eyes were narrowed into a narrow slit.

The second mistress is finally willing to let go of her status and compete with the mistresses for the second master. This is a great thing!

After finishing the order, Tang Yuxiang's pretty face flushed slightly, and she was a little afraid to face Zhiqiu, so she hurried into the back room, came to the side of the bed, and sat down, worrying about the matter of Jishengtang again.

She spent a full 1000 taels of silver when she placed the order at the pharmacy. Such a huge sum of money cannot just be robbed by someone and left in vain.

It's just that the second master is currently busy with opening up wasteland and digging canals, so I really can't put the burden on his shoulders anymore.

After thinking about it for a while, she had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered Mrs. Lin. In the Lin residence, only Mrs. Lin and Lin Jingzhi are capable of helping her.

However, according to Mrs. Lin's temperament, if she found out about this, would she punish herself?

Tang Yuxiang's back felt cold, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

But fear is nothing but fear, now she seems to really have no other way to think, for Ji Shengtang, even a little bit of suffering is worth it.

After making up her mind, she lay on the bed, turned over, fell over, feeling agitated, unable to be at peace no matter what, finally gritted her teeth, sat up, changed into clean clothes, called Shang Zhiqiu, and went straight to Mrs. Lin's courtyard.

The two came to the gate of the small courtyard, and they happened to meet Liu Xiang who was rushing back from work, Liu Xiang showed a little surprise on her face, she didn't know what kind of wind was blowing today, but it even brought Second Grandma Lin here.

You must know that in the past, if Mrs. Lin hadn't summoned her, or greeted her in the morning, this second mistress would not have the guts to set foot in this small courtyard.

"My maidservant greets Second Mistress." Liu Xiang stood in the rain, holding a silk umbrella, bowed her knees and saluted gracefully.

Liu Xiang is also a beauty, with a slender figure, and likes to wear white dresses on weekdays. At this time, holding a gorgeous and pleasing silk umbrella, facing the rainy scene, her whole body exudes a delicate and exquisite beauty. Tang Yuxiang hurried forward to greet her. After a few steps, he helped her up himself, and said with a smile:

"You don't have to be so polite, get up quickly."

"The second mistress is the master, and the slaves are servants. It is right to give you a gift." Liu Xiang was very discerning and understood the rules in the rich mansion. When she saw the master coming up to meet her, she quickly closed the cup in her hand. Silk umbrella, otherwise the raindrops will splash on Tang Yuxiang's body if it hits the umbrella surface.

She always kept in mind that she was a servant, and she did not dare to rely on herself to be an errand by Mrs. Lin's side, so she was arrogant and unreasonable, and she did not dare to show off in front of any master.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that she has been able to live safely by Mrs. Lin's side.

The rain was heavy, and the silk on Liu Xiang's forehead was wet just after Tang Yuxiang took a few steps forward.

Tang Yuxiang's expression was obviously a little nervous at the moment, and the small hand holding Liuxiang's arm was grasping so hard that Liuxiang could feel the pain, but she didn't dare to run away, and she didn't dare to cry out for the pain, but she just endured it, Asked suspiciously: "Second Grandma, are you here to discuss things with the old lady?"

"Well, yes... yes, the old lady is in the room at the moment?" Tang Yuxiang responded and asked again.

"Yes! This servant will send you a message."

Tang Yuxiang listened, let go of his hand, and let Liuxiang walk to the living room, then stood in the heavy rain holding his embroidered fist nervously.

Secretly guessing, will the old lady punish me after she finds out about this matter?

How will you punish me!
