The regent is a yandere who needs to be pampered

Chapter 21 Just treat it as sending away beggars

The mother and daughter had not seen each other for a long time, and they stayed in the room talking for most of an hour. When Mrs. Nan learned that Nan Xi was injured on her arm, and that she had cut it with a dagger herself, she was angry and distressed: "Even if you have to give it to Nan Xi, You don’t have to hurt yourself if you teach me a lesson, why are you so stupid?”

Nan Xi was about to speak when a woman's domineering voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Auntie! My mother has taken a fancy to a newly arrived bracelet from Moyu Pavilion. She asked me to come to Auntie's place to get three thousand taels of silver. Tomorrow, Baoling County On the Lord’s sixteenth birthday, I will wear the bracelet to the banquet.”

Nan Xi frowned: "Is this Nan Jiao?"

Nan Jiao is the daughter of her father's second concubine, Mrs. Li. She is fifteen years old, only one year younger than Nan Xi.

Mrs. Nan nodded.

"She does this often?"

When Nan Xi asked this question, she realized how much she had neglected her mother in the past. She had no idea how the concubines in the backyard treated her mother.

Mrs. Nan smiled lightly: "It's just a matter of getting some money, you don't need to take it to heart-"

"Don't you mind?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "They regard my mother's place as a bank account, and they come here to get money when they need it? Even if it's a ticket bank, you have to get a banknote before you can exchange the money, right?"

Mrs. Nan looked indifferent: "I usually don't bother to argue with them. They want money, so I just treat them as beggars and send them away."

Nan Xi chuckled: "How can you give so much money to a beggar? You only asked for three thousand taels. This comes several times a month. Even if my mother has gold and silver, it is not enough for them to squander-"

"No." Mrs. Nan lowered her voice, "What they are here to get now is some cash on hand. I will keep all the valuable properties in my mother's hands for you."

Nan Xi felt sad: "Mother."

Mrs. Nan touched her hand: "Your father came from a poor family and did not have a strong family background. He was always cautious in doing things, for fear of being caught and put to death. It was not easy for him to reach the position of Prime Minister. Naturally, he didn't dare to take a wrong step. He was a self-righteous person and thought that money was a vulgar thing. Therefore, in these years, even if the ministers of the court offered him gifts, he did not dare to blatantly accept them. With his little salary, he would not accept them openly. It’s not enough to maintain the expenses of the government, not to mention the courtesy among officials outside?”

Speaking of this, a bit of sarcasm appeared on her face: "He has used my money to raise women these years, and the daily expenses of the concubines and concubines in the house have also been raised by me, so even if they are a little rude, they are still Don’t dare to be too presumptuous.”

After all, everyone is pointing at her to live their lives.

Outsiders only see the majesty of the Prime Minister, and even the concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion are very dignified when they walk out, and the concubines can hold their heads high, but little do they know that the daily expenses of such a huge mansion depend entirely on this merchant who everyone looks down upon. It is ironic to say that women are here to maintain it.

Nan Xi sneered: "You claim to be noble? A high-ranking prime minister uses his first wife's money to raise a woman. Except for my weird father, probably no one else can do it."

Oh no, there is another Gu Qingshu.

In the previous life, the two father-in-law and son-in-law had the same virtues. It is probably more appropriate to say that they were father and son. Gu Qingshu used Nan Xi all his life and harmed Nan Xi all his life. He used Nan Xi's money to fight with Nan Yue and had a fierce relationship with her. Dad is pretty much the same.
