Chapter 781 Nightmare


Chapter 781 Nightmare

Eight hundred taels of silver, to the Yuan family in the past, would have been a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning. But now, to the Yuan family or Yuan Liqin, eight hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.

After the Yuan family went downhill, they began to make ends meet and began to rest on their laurels. For such a big family, hundreds of people, big and small, had to use money to eat, drink, sleep, and sleep. This year, it was just for food in the house. It costs more than ten thousand taels of silver, as well as favors and other expenses, which are dozens of times more expensive than chewing.

Since then, Yuan Liqin's quality of life has undergone earth-shaking changes. She was suddenly transferred from heaven to earth, and then fell from the earth into the abyss of hell. In the past few years, the Yuan family looks quite beautiful on the outside. In fact, their In daily use, it has long been harsh and almost useless.

Before she was ten years old, she would get more than a thousand taels of silver as a New Year's red envelope every New Year. Now, her monthly income for a year is only 240 taels of silver. This more than 200 taels of silver also includes the clothes she buys. Jewelry and daily necessities, as well as money to reward the people below.

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the New Year's red envelope given to her by her elders was fifty taels of silver, but now it has shrunk to only twenty taels of silver.

During the Lantern Festival, when the girls were getting together, someone asked her how much money she received as a gift for the New Year, but she was too embarrassed to tell them.

Also, during the past New Year, the family would spend more than a thousand taels of silver to buy her some beautiful new clothes and new jewelry in advance. But now, throughout the year, the family will follow the government's system to buy her clothes for all seasons. , two for winter, two for summer, the fabrics purchased were very ordinary, and she was too embarrassed to wear them out.

In order to maintain the scene and not be embarrassed in front of her little sisters, she used her personal money that she had accumulated over the years to buy clothes and jewelry. Over the past few years, she had spent thousands of taels of her personal money. Now, her pockets felt like they were being robbed. It's the same thing, clean and tidy, not even a tael of silver.

"Go tell mother that if she wants to use the money, she has to find a way by herself. I can't help her." Yuan Liqin's face was stern, her brows and eyes full of hostility.

"Then what should I say?" Yushuang looked embarrassed, "Madam only gave me the eight hundred taels of silver for two days, and the girl didn't go out these two days. How can I say that the girl spent the money?"


Well, this is indeed a difficult task...

The amount of money was quite large, but she didn't see anything. How could she tell her wife?

Yushuang frowned and had a bitter look on his face.

Yuan Liqin also rubbed her forehead, "I have almost spent all my private money, so how can I give it to my wife? No matter what excuse you make, next time my wife comes, I will give it to you."

Last time, she took three hundred taels of silver from her mother. Later, when Xiaocui increased the price, she took another five hundred taels of silver from her mother. Because of the eight hundred taels of silver, her mother was still angry with her.

Today at noon, her mother came over and wanted her money back, but she didn't agree. She was so angry that she almost slapped her.

"It's all the blame on that damn Xiaocui. When things came to a head, she added five hundred taels of silver. As a result, the princess had nothing to do and the eight hundred taels of silver were wasted. Humph, I cursed her for holding the eight hundred taels of silver. No life flower either." Yushuang had a cold face and poured all her anger on Cursing Xiao Cui.

"I said at the beginning that I would find someone to do it to her, and you had to stop me. Now what's the use of it?" Yuan Liqin glared at her angrily.

Yushuang also felt aggrieved, "Girl, wasn't I afraid that you would have nightmares when you go to bed at night? You forgot about the third girl..."

"Don't mention her to me." Yuan Liqin's face suddenly changed and her voice was sharp, so Yushuang was frightened that she quickly stopped talking.

The third girl has become a taboo in the Yuan family, especially in front of her girls, who cannot even mention it.

Seeing that her face turned pale, Yushuang quickly changed the topic, "Girl, what should we do in the future? The people in Yuqiongyuan are checking so hard, just in case..."

"There is no such thing as a chance." Yuan Liqin interrupted her and said sternly, "The person who did it is not from us, he is from the Zhuo family. If my cousin is suspicious, he is also suspicious of Zhuo Yiling. He will not doubt me. Come up.”

Zhuo Yiling liked Chu Jingqi, but she didn't hide it. Everyone could see it and knew it, so she had every motive to attack Chu Yu.

"Didn't no one see you when you went to see Xiaocui?" she asked Yushuang. Yushuang shook her head firmly, "No, I am very careful every time. No one sees it."

"What about Panax notoginseng? Does the drug boy at the pharmacy where you buy Panax notoginseng know you?"

Yushuang shook her head again, "I have put on a disguise. Even if I stand in front of the medicine boy at this moment, the medicine boy will not recognize me."

Yuan Liqin nodded with confidence, "That's good. As long as they don't have real evidence, even if they doubt me, they won't dare to really question me."

"If..." Yushuang looked at her timidly, "If they catch Xiaocui, what will we do?"

Yuan Liqin's face changed slightly.

"Girl, how about we leave here first, escape for a while and then come back, we will go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense."

Staying here, she always felt uneasy, fearing that what she and the girl did would one day be known to others. By then, the girl was the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family and the niece of the princess, so the Zhuo family would not take advantage of her. What about the girl at home? At most, she will not interact with her girls in the future.

But what about her?

She is just a slave next to the girl. If the princess is angry and cannot vent her anger on the girl, she will definitely not let her go.

It would be merciful to sell her away, and I would be afraid of killing her alive with a stick.

At the thought of being beaten to death, Yushuang shuddered violently and felt a chill coming from her back.

"Girl, let's leave Beijing first. My wife will give me an explanation. We can also avoid Yuqiongyuan's investigation and win two birds with one stone."

After finally making a trip to the capital, coming to his side, and being able to see him often, how could she be willing to leave.

Yuan Liqin did not agree.

If Yuan Liqin doesn't leave, Yushuang won't be able to leave.

Yushuang bit her lip and turned pale. She struggled hard and said, "My wife will definitely come back tomorrow to ask for money. Today, my wife is here. I used the excuse that the girl was asleep to let her go, but..."

The wife lives next door, so it's not a matter of just raising a foot. She can't always use the excuse that the girl is sleeping to let the wife go.

When it came to money, Yuan Liqin looked irritated, "Damn it, I spent money but it didn't get done. If it got done, I would have told my mother, but now..."

Now, she didn't even dare to mention it.

Yu Shuang said angrily, "All this is due to Princess Chu Yu's fate. If she died and the house was in chaos, how could the prince have the mood to come here to investigate this matter?"
