Chapter 1196

The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, but it was a pity that Zhong Yingming didn't come over on time.

But it was Yun Shi, the old lady of the Zhong family who arrived before him.

Don't look at this old woman who is nearly seventy years old, but she is full of energy and has quick legs, and she doesn't look old at all.

What surprised them even more was that the old lady was the first to call out in the yard before she entered the door.

"Oh! Old woman, I heard that a powerful person has come to our Zhong family! Do you know the lady from Jing Zhaoyin's family? Ha, I want to see what kind of person can come to our Zhong family. Small temple!"

The old woman's voice was loud and sharp, and just one sound woke up the sleeping Mrs. Ming.

"Princess, don't be angry, my mother-in-law is like that, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

"Ma'am, she doesn't look like a bean curd at all!"

Lin Yuan interrupted her, raised her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, and specifically asked Xiaohuan to take care of her, while she straightened her clothes and went out.

She would have met this vicious old woman!
The old lady of the Zhong family, Yun Shi, has a generous face, and because she gets fat when she gets old, her face becomes even bigger.

Especially the two cheeks are covered with loose skin, which looks very ugly.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming out, Yun's shrewd little eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Why, your master brought back a little hoof from the brothel again? Look at this little appearance, it's not very good-looking, presumably You can seduce a man yourself!"

"you!"

Ginkgo was short of breath, blushing and wanted to scold her, but Lin Yuan stopped her first.

Lin Yuan watched coldly, only to realize that the old lady in front of her was not as easy to deal with as she imagined.

Just as Zhong Shi was beaten, the old woman rushed over, presumably knowing that Lin Yi at the door was the one who did it.

But the old lady was not afraid at all, she seemed to have decided that Lin Yuan would not dare to do anything to her old lady.

snort!
Lin Yuan sneered secretly, she really didn't dare to fight this old lady, but besides fighting, she still has many other ways to deal with this old lady!

"Yo! With such clumsy eyes, this must be the old lady who cleans the backyard of your Zhongfu? Tsk tsk, your butler Zhong keeps saying that there is no money, and an old lady who sweeps the floor is actually wearing clothes that cost five taels of silver! Hmph, I think Everyone in your Zhongfu is a liar!"

Lin Yuan has always been very skillful in using his own way to treat his own body.

Sure enough, when Lin Yuan said that she was an old woman sweeping the floor, Yun's face immediately flushed red with anger.

"You little hoof, you really..."

"Little Hoof? Oops, this is the first time I've heard someone say that about me!"

Lin Yuan crossed her arms and stood on the steps above the door, looking down at the old woman.

"The servants of your Zhong Manor really don't understand the rules. After all, this girl is also a guest of your mansion. Even if you don't come out, at least you should find someone who is in charge! How dare you let an old woman who sweeps the floor Come here, tsk tsk, could it be that this old lady is the master of your Zhongfu? That's just right, I will ask this old lady to settle my debts."

Lin Yuan's words are like an old lady, almost making Yun's back angry.Even a certain man hiding at the gate of the courtyard gritted his teeth angrily.

However, Mrs. Ming and Xiaohuan in the room laughed very relieved. At this time, Mrs. Ming had seen through the faces of these people, and only wanted to get out of this hellish home as soon as possible. in spite of!
The little maid who served by Yun's side gave her comfort, while glaring at Lin Yuan angrily: "What are you, dare to call my old lady an old mother? Hmph, don't think that our family owes you a little money, that's all." Arrogant and domineering!"

Being reprimanded by a little maid, Lin Yuan smiled instead of anger, and stretched out her hand and said, "Oh? A little money? It seems that this young lady is also a person who keeps her word. If that's the case, I'll trouble you and this old lady to give it to me together." Pay back the money!"

"you……"

Before the little maid could refute, Lin Yuan had already counted with her fingers: "Ms. Ming signed a one-year contract with me, and now the contract is still half a year away. According to the conditions stipulated in the contract, the loss of our Yi Ming Xuan Is such that.

Lost wages are compensated at three times the salary, three taels a month, and 18 taels for six months.In addition, Mrs. Ming violated the contract on her own initiative, so she could not receive three times the wages of the previous six months, so she had to return twice the extra amount, which was 12 taels.

Of course, according to Dayong's regulations, breach of contract in the middle of the contract is subject to liquidated damages, and liquidated damages are compensated at ten times the salary, which is 30 taels.

18 taels plus 12 taels plus 30 taels, ah, this is 60 taels of silver.In addition, just now, my lady kindly invited your wife a powerful doctor who specializes in treating women in the capital, so you will naturally have to pay for his consultation fees.This is another five taels of silver, um, a total of 65 taels of silver.

That's enough, this young lady, and this old woman, please pay me quickly, and I can go back to Beijing quickly after paying the money!Our Yimingxuan's business cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, you will be asked for the loss. "

Lin Yuan settled the accounts with her fingers, talking endlessly in her small mouth, Yun and everyone present were stunned.

But they were not stupid, and they still heard clearly the total amount that Lin Yuan said.

65 taels of silver?

This was a trivial matter in the Zhong family in the past, but now, this is an astronomical figure!

Yun's lips trembled, his eyeballs rolled, and he fell on his back without warning.

The little maid who was supporting her also had her heart in her mind, and immediately yelled: "Old madam, what's wrong with you, old madam? Come quickly, the old madam has fainted, and send her back quickly." Rest in your room!"

Immediately, several strong women rushed forward, and they were about to carry the old lady back home.

How could Lin Yuan let her leave so easily?She hasn't settled with her for just slandering her as a brothel girl, and she hasn't gotten any supplements from her!

He secretly gave Ji Dong a wink, and Lin Yi understood, turned his palm over, and rushed out with a wave of palm.

"what!"

"Ouch!"

Two screams sounded almost at the same time, and a strong woman holding Yun's leg covered her hands and screamed loudly.

And Yun Shi, who was thrown to the ground by her mercilessly, also howled loudly because of the sudden change.

Ji Dong had a sense of proportion in his actions. Some of the women lifted Yun's head, and some lifted Yun's arm.

He chose the woman who lifted her leg the least likely to hurt Yun Shi, so Yun Shi was at most frightened.

But for someone with a vicious heart, Lin Yuan didn't think that such a small change could scare the Yun family.

"Ah! Madam, are you awake? That's just right, hurry up and give me the silver! 65 taels, it can only be more or less! By the way, the contract signed by Mrs. Ming is here. If you have any questions, you might as well come and have a look." Look. If I don't return the money, I will really have to sue Jing Zhaoyin!"

As she said that, Lin Yuan shook the contract in her hand. It was the employment agreement that Mrs. Ming signed with her.

How could Yun have the heart to look at the employment contract? If she could, she really wanted to grab that piece of paper and swallow it in her stomach!
Pretending to be dizzy is not enough, Yun's eyes rolled and he immediately changed his strategy.

She weakly let the servant girls support her, and said weakly: "Ah, it turns out, it turns out that I really came to collect debts! But, my daughter-in-law didn't say no, so why is there a breach of contract? Since If you don't breach the contract, then the money will disappear, right?"

Lin Yuan raised her brows, she didn't expect this Yun family to be flexible, she said with a smile: "You old lady is quite a wit, but it's just a pity, the housekeeper from your house came to our Yiming Pavilion and said, Madam is not feeling well, and she will never come to Yimingxuan to do business again. Tsk tsk, that fellow brazenly asked me to settle Madam Ming's wages for these days! Heh, really think that Yimingxuan is being taken advantage of? Who the hell? Dare to come up and knock? A joke!"

Yun Shi naturally knew about Zhong Shi going to Yimingxuan to spread the word, not only did he know, but she also assigned him the job of begging for wages.

Yun's face was embarrassing, and her smile was uglier than crying: "Well, that Butler Zhong is a money-seeker, girl, don't be as knowledgeable as him. How can we say that kind of thing? It's nothing at all, no What about it, hehe."

While smiling, Yun's eyes kept aiming towards the gate of the courtyard. If Lin Yi hadn't given her a wink, Lin Yuan would not have noticed.

At the corner of the courtyard entrance, a man's boot toe was faintly exposed. There should be no other person in the entire Zhongfu except Zhong Yingming who could help Yun's cover up.

Lin Yuan sneered, like Zhong Yingming, when she met a debt collector, she acted like a coward and let her daughter-in-law stand out.

Now I am afraid that Jing Zhaoyin will be provoked, and he has become a coward again, but this time he let his mother stand out.

When will he be a real man once and stand up for this family?

Lin Yuan replied to herself in a very rude manner: When she was on the bed.

Since that Zhong Yingming was there, Lin Yuan couldn't be soft-hearted.

"Oh, don't tell me you don't have it? Just like Zhong Shi from before, he is still a housekeeper anyway, and you, aren't you just a sweeping old woman? Comparing the two of you, I still feel that Zhong Shi's words are more reliable."

Yun Shi was really angry this time. After talking about it for a long time, this girl actually used words to suppress her!

What an old lady, how is she an old lady?Does she look like an old lady?The clothes on her body are five taels of silver, what does the old lady wear, dare to compare with her?

However, even though she had scolded Lin Yuan a hundred times in her heart, Yun still didn't dare to show any displeasure on her face.

Although this little girl is young, she has a strong mouth.What's more, this girl still has their weaknesses in her hands, and they don't have 65 taels of silver to pay her.

"I, if you don't believe me, you should believe Master Zhong's family!"

Yun's heart turned, and regardless of his son's waving hands, he shouted directly in the direction of the gate of the courtyard: "Ah! Isn't this the master of our mansion? It just so happens that the master is here, so I invite the girl to talk to the master. Bar!"

Zhong Yingming cried so hard that his hands almost broke, but his mother still called him out.

The arrow is on the string, Zhong Yingming has to stand up even if he doesn't want to.

Lin Yuan finally saw Zhong Yingming's true face.

I saw a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, and he was definitely a handsome man just by his appearance.

Lin Yuan shook her head secretly, no wonder Mrs. Ming would be fascinated by this man, if it wasn't for Xia Zheng's peerless beauty, she might be bewitched by Zhong Yingming's appearance too.

However, appearance belongs to appearance, the most important thing is to look at people's hearts.

As long as she thought of the nasty things Zhong Yingming had done, Lin Yuan felt that this handsome man in front of her was as disgusting as a fly maggot in a barrel.

"What's your name for this girl?"

After all, Zhong Yingming was in business before, and he talked to Lin Yuan very politely when they met.

"The little girl's surname is Lin."

"It turned out to be Miss Lin. Some people lost their way, and some lost their way."

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully, "When I came in, you were busy having fun on the bed with the girls from the brothel, so of course you missed it."

The smile on Zhong Yingming's face froze, she never thought that this quiet-looking little girl would spit out the words about brothel women and having fun on the bed so easily as soon as she opened her mouth.

Now, are all the girls in the capital so bold and unrestrained?

Lin Yuan didn't have the heart to play around with them, since this man came, she was about to start, not only to make Mrs. Ming completely give up on this ugly man, but also to get the most supplements from that stingy old woman of Yun's.

"Master Zhong has been busy on the bed just now, and he probably doesn't know what I'm here for. Now that I'm here, do you want me to recalculate the previous accounts for you?"

Zhong Yingming suppressed the shock in her heart, and directly omitted the words of busying on the bed in Lin Yuan's mouth, and pretended to be calm and said: "I have heard it clearly, this matter is definitely a misunderstanding. Miss Lin, We never asked Butler Zhong to convey that his wife would no longer go to work at Yimingxuan. No, he is here too. Hurry up and make it clear to Miss Lin!"

Saying that, Zhong Yingming kicked Zhong Shi.

Obviously you guys let me go!

Zhong Shi was depressed, but after so many years, he had already become accustomed to what Master Zhong did.

He hurriedly came to Lin Yuan with an apologetic smile and apologized: "Miss, please forgive me. It's true that the little one is only interested in money, so he asks for my wife's wages privately. As for my wife, our master means that we will wait for my wife to recover. It's because I can't go to work in the near future, not in the future. It's because the little one made a mistake in the message, and I hope the girl will forgive me!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this Zhong is really being treated as a scapegoat.

But Zhong Shi is not a good guy, and Lin Yuan doesn't want to speak for him at all.

"In this case, let's forget about the previous things."

Yun Shi and Zhong Yingming hadn't completely settled down when they heard Lin Yuan change the subject and said again: "However, I also looked at Mrs. Ming's body just now, and the doctor said that she should at least rest. It takes two months to go out! Tsk tsk, there is only half a year left in my agreement with Mrs. Ming, and now she is sick for two months, what should I do? What should I do with Yimingxuan's business!"

The corners of the mouths of Mrs. Ming lying in the room and Xiaohuan who was waiting on her mouth twitched. Who said she would have to cultivate for two months?What Wang Langzhong said just now was obviously a month, this Lin Yuan is cheating people again.

Haha.

Zhong Yingming laughed out loud, apparently thinking that the problem Lin Yuan raised was not a problem at all.

"My wife has always been in good health, but this time it's a minor illness. It's not like those quack doctors said to rest for two months. Please rest assured, Miss Lin, my wife will be able to go back to work within a month."

pat!

There was a slight crisp sound in the room, and it was Mrs. Ming who threw the bracelet on her wrist with all her might.

The bracelet was a token of love between her and Zhong Yingming, and now it has no meaning.

Lin Yuan also couldn't help snorting coldly, this Zhong Yingming is really a wolf, his wife had a miscarriage, he actually called it such a minor illness!He also said that he would be able to go out and do errands within a month.

Doesn't he know that confinement is also very important?

That's right, anyway, there are already many women around him, and one of them is even pregnant. Is he afraid that no other children will be born in the future?
So, to him, the current Mrs. Ming is actually a tool for making money, not even a tool for giving birth.

Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling sad for Mrs. Ming's situation.

"Oh, a minor illness? But how did I hear that Mrs. Ming was a miscarriage? And she was beaten as a miscarriage. Hmph, although Mrs. Ming is the daughter-in-law in your house, she is also the shopkeeper of Yimingxuan. Don't forget, according to Dayong's regulations, the housewife cannot be whipped at will."

Ji Dong on one side couldn't help but roll his eyes, when did Dayong have this law?Why doesn't he know?
Zhong Yingming was obviously confused by Lin Yuan's words. According to Dayong's regulations, it is true that the mistress must be protected, but she did not say that beatings are not allowed.

But no matter what, it was indeed his fault for beating his wife.

Zhong Yingming didn't get serious with Lin Yuan on this point, after all, he felt guilty and blamed himself when he found out that Mrs. Ming had a miscarriage yesterday.

However, thousands of emotions flashed through his heart, but none of them was called distressed.

He no longer has the kind of love and affection he had for Mrs. Ming, and this feeling has disappeared with the decline of the Zhong family's family fortune.

"Miss Lin is serious. My wife just accidentally fell down. How could anyone beat her? She is the master of the back house. No one dares to fight her, even I will stay away!"

Zhong Yingming chuckled, but Lin Yuan felt that his smile was obscene and vulgar.

She actually put all the responsibility on Mrs. Ming herself, and she didn't even dare to admit what she had done. This Zhong Yingming is really good!
But isn't this situation expected?

A man who shrinks back when things happen, what do you expect him to do?

"All right, all right, I'm not interested in those things in your inner house."

Lin Yuan waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Zhong Yingming's words, and said with some displeasure: "The doctor said just now that Mrs. Ming is too weak. She should not only take her medicine on time, but also take more supplements. Since she This is the owner of this back house, so you can eat the supplements casually, right?"

tonic?Where are the supplements in Zhongfu's warehouse?
Even those with poor quality were divided up by the concubines Zhong Yingming brought into the mansion.

Yun's nerves tensed up immediately. If it was tonics, she was the only one in the entire Zhongfu.

"What supplements? Where is there any supplements in Zhongfu? Those supplements have been taken away by this woman and eaten long ago, they are gone!"

Yun's anxious voice seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet courtyard, Zhong Yingming was also taken aback, but soon realized that Mother meant that she was not going to take out the tonic.

But if you don't take it out, what will happen to Su's body?
Zhong Yingming had no feelings for Mrs. Ming for a long time, and now she agreed to take out the supplements for her to take, just because of Lin Yuan's face and Mrs. Ming's little use value.

"Mom, this, this..."

Just as Yun's most distressed thing is his son, what Zhong Yingming fears most is also his mother.

Seeing what Yun said, Zhong Yingming also began to hesitate, why don't you let someone go out and buy some?But where did the money come from?
Ah!
A sneer suddenly sounded, and Zhong Yingming and Yun Shi, who were about to unify, raised their heads together, and saw a somewhat ferocious expression on the face of Lin Yuan, a teenage girl.

Yes, ferocious, even more ferocious than those villains who came to the house to collect debts with big knives and long sticks.

A little girl can actually have such a side, even Zhong Yingming's mother and son, who have seen many things in the world, are all shocked.
