The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Chapter 233 Reward

Could it be that the maid took the wrong reward?

Mother Li felt that no matter how careless the maid was, she would not make such a big mistake. Besides, the purse was used to hold reward money. If it was outside Chenxiangxuan, she would go back and ask. Now they were outside the princess's courtyard, so Mother Li went in.

Inside the house, the princess was drinking tea. Seeing Mother Li come in with red eyes, she smiled and said, "But you can't bear to leave Mo'er?"

Mother Li wiped the tears from her eyes. "After all, I have served the prince for more than ten years. I feel a little reluctant to leave him when I come back. But we are all in the same mansion, so it's not like I won't be able to see him anymore. It's just..."

Mother Li stopped talking here.

The princess asked, "Just what?"

Mother Li said, "When I came back, the Crown Prince's wife gave me a lot of gifts. I don't know if I took the wrong thing..."

Mother Li poured out the contents of her purse, a palm full of gold, so bright and dazzling that the maids and servants in the room all opened their eyes wide.

Not to mention the maids and servants, even the princess was stunned. Then she thought of something and smiled, "Since it's a reward from the Crown Prince's wife, just accept it."

Mother Li said, "But this is too much."

So much so that she suddenly became reluctant to leave the Crown Prince and then the Crown Princess.

Nanny Yun smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort in our mansion doesn't even take the Prince's power seriously, so how could she be reluctant to give up such a small thing?"

That was true. Which lady in Kyoto didn't want to marry the Crown Prince? Thinking about a few months ago when the Crown Prince needed a wedding to bring him good luck but the Crown Princess sent their Jingyang Palace bridal sedan back empty and she scolded the Crown Princess several times, Mother Li felt that the gold bracelet in her hand was heavy and she felt unworthy of it.

The purse was stuffed into her hands by Shen Tang, and the princess asked her to accept it, so Mother Li kept it with peace of mind.

Mother Li had just moved back and there were still a lot of things that needed to be put away, so she went downstairs to help.

Nanny Yun poured tea for the princess, "The princess is indeed generous."

The princess smiled and said, "Everyone is happy with her reward."

Mother Li worked diligently to manage Chenxiangxuan, and the princess saw it all. Precisely because she did a good job, Shen Tang had no reason to let his housekeeper mother take over Chenxiangxuan. It was easier to order one's own people around, so the princess would not be happy if Shen Tang touched Mother Li. To avoid this situation, she decided to be the bad guy and call Mother Li back.

But when Mother Li came back, the princess was worried about what position to give her. After all, Mother Li was in charge of the entire Chenxiangxuan. She couldn't just come back and ask Nanny Yun to give up her position to her.

The princess was also planning to give a generous reward to appease him, but her reward was not as effective as Shen Tang's.

Mother Li had returned. Her trusted maid from Chenxiangxuan had brought her things. After living there for ten years, she had quite a lot of stuff. There were two large boxes of clothes alone. Several maids were in tears, feeling sorry for Mother Li. "She didn't do anything wrong. They just called her back to make room for the Crown Prince's wife's housekeeper..."

Mother Li heard this and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The maid said, "I am not wrong."

Mother Li said, "This arrangement by the princess is good for both the princess and the prince's wife. The prince's wife is kind. When I am not around, you must listen to the prince's wife and Mother Zhou. Do you hear me?"

The maid's eyes were red as she asked, "Mother Li has been wronged, why are you still speaking up for the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Mother Li said, "How have I been wronged? No one else has ever suffered the same kind of grievances as me."

Several maids, "......???"

Is Mother Li mad?

When the princess knew that Shen Tang had rewarded Mother Li with a big gold bracelet, gold peanuts and melon seeds, she would definitely give her some rewards as well.

Just for changing jobs and serving others, she received such generous compensation. The maids couldn't feel sorry for Mother Li anymore.

This is not just being wronged, it's clearly like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Madam Li instructed a few of her trusted maids, "You stay in Chenxiang Pavilion and serve the Crown Prince's Consort well. The Crown Prince's Consort will definitely treat you well. If you act cunningly and get punished by the Crown Prince's Consort, no one will protect you. Remember that?"

Several maids nodded.

Mother Li taught them a lot more, and after everything was put away, the maids returned to Chenxiangxuan.

The princess rewarded Mother Li with ten taels of silver and a pair of silver bracelets. There happened to be a vacancy in the small kitchen, so she let Mother Li take over first, and would arrange for her to fill a suitable position later.

Mother Li was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling after collecting so many things today. Not to mention being asked to take care of the small kitchen, even if she was asked to do chores as a maid, Mother Li would not have any complaints.

Besides, after Mother Li left, Shen Tang looked at the account books. In her previous life, she was looking forward to a divorce, and all the big and small matters of Chenxiangxuan were handled by Mother Jiang, and she rarely asked about it. Mother Li's account books were clear and concise, and it was indeed as Mother Li said, there were few things to do in Chenxiangxuan, and no special handover was needed.

After a quick look through the account books, it was already evening. The food was brought from the kitchen, and Xie Guimo went back to his room for dinner.

After finishing dinner and just putting down my chopsticks, the maid came in and said, "Princess, Madam Yun is here."

Soon, Nanny Yun came in. Shen Tang asked, "Nanny Yun, why are you here at this hour? Does Mother have any instructions?"

Nanny Yun held a gift list in her hand and said, "Tomorrow is the day when the Crown Prince's wife will return home. The princess has prepared a gift for the return and asked me to bring it to the Crown Prince's wife to see if there is anything missing."

Shen Tang said, "I can prepare the return gift myself, why should I trouble my mother?"

Nanny Yun smiled and said, "The return gift should naturally be prepared by the palace."

Shen Tang glanced at Ginkgo, who then stepped forward, took the gift list from Nanny Yun, and showed it to Shen Tang for review.

In her previous life, when she returned home, the princess prepared a generous gift. This gift list is three times heavier than the one in her previous life.

Shen Tang said, "This is too much..."

Nanny Yun smiled and said, "If there is nothing missing, then I will ask Steward Zhou to prepare it according to the gift list."

Shen Tang nodded.

Nanny Yun wants to take her leave.

Shen Tang glanced at Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong took out a purse, and Shen Tang stuffed it into Madam Yun's pocket. "Thank you for coming here at this time, Madam Yun."

As a reward from the master, the servant cannot refuse it, and of course, he will not refuse it.

Nanny Yun accepted it generously, thanked her, and then left.

After leaving Chenxiangxuan, Nanny Yun opened her purse, which contained a gold ring, a gold peanut, and four gold melon seeds.

The reward was not as much as Mother Li's, but it was enough to make Nanny Yun smile from ear to ear. After all, Mother Li was really wronged, but she was not.

Nanny Yun put the ring on her hand. Originally, she could have asked the maid to deliver the gift list to the front yard, but Nanny Yun made the trip herself.

After dinner, Xie Guimo went to the study to read. When he came back, Shen Tang had already washed up and lay down.

A certain gentleman really regrets not changing the wedding date to the end of the month. It would be so depressing to have such a beautiful woman in his arms, but he can only look at her but not eat her.

I took cold showers again and again throughout the night.

Looking at Shen Tang sleeping soundly, I gritted my teeth, but I had to endure it.
