C27 Bai Niang Was the First Wife to Express Her Goodwill

Seeing Nanny Lin pouncing on Lin Loong, Xu Zhaoning was ready to wail. She rushed to speak, her tone extremely serene.

"Ai, although 100,000 taels isn't a small sum, I don't want Madam to take it from my private storage. Why is she so excited?" "I'm afraid that she'll have to rest for a while longer. Second Sister from Yanran Courtyard is still sick, and since Madam and Master Hou have loved each other for so many years, Master Hou must have long been used to her care. How can she just fall like that?"

Xu Zhaoning let out a sigh after she finished her sentence, as if she was truly thinking for Lin Loong's sake.

Aunt Bai , who was standing at the side, looked deeply at her. Was the girl before her still the pitiful little girl she knew, the one who had lost her parents?

This seemingly simple sentence not only confirmed the fact that Lin Loong had committed suicide, but also prevented the possibility of Lin Loong dodging the compensation while pretending to be unconscious.

Both her daughter and her husband were sick. It would be too much of a waste for her to pretend that she was unconscious and needed some time to recover.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Zhaoning finished her sentence, Mrs Xu slammed the table angrily and stood up.

"Men, send Madame Lin to the guest courtyard." Her husband was injured, and she should have attended to him. "If you still haven't woken up, you can just get someone to throw a bucket of cold water on you."

When she thought of how Lin Loong, with a hundred thousand silver in her hands, would not even show the slightest respect to her and still dare to cover her ears and steal the bells, her heart ached with anger.

She still dared to feign unconsciousness in public? Did she really think that no one in this mansion could treat her?

When Mrs Xu finished, she saw Nanny Lin carrying Lin Loong and not letting her near, she got even angrier and shouted at Uncle Bai to go and kidnap her.

"Old Bai, what are you waiting for!?" Hurry up and take him away, it's bad for the eye! "

Uncle Bai stealthily glanced at Old Duke's direction. Xu Renyu also wanted to end the matter early so that they could have some peace and quiet. Thus, he nodded his head and silently acknowledged Mrs Xu's order.

Thus, Uncle Bai brought along Lin Loong and her people and carried her out of the Pine Crane Court.

This kind of thing had never happened before in the Loyalty Duke's Mansion in the past. Xu Zhaoning silently watched, the sneer on her face never vanishing.

According to the original owner's memories, this had always been her treatment. Now that she had changed into someone else to be the main character, it really made her feel good.

Xu Zhaoning, who had easily won a battle, felt that she should go back to her room and count the banknotes. After all, 100,000 taels was a huge sum of money.

"Sister Ning." Just as they walked out of the Pine Crane Court gate, they heard someone call out from behind them. She stopped where she was and turned around to see Aunt Bai , accompanied by Peony, walking towards her.

Xu Zhaoning raised an eyebrow and greeted Aunt Bai indifferently, "Is there something wrong with Aunt Bai ?"

Aunt Bai 's smiling face stiffened for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal.

He walked up to Xu Zhaoning, his tone extremely amiable, but hidden within, probing, "Has Sister Ning changed a lot recently?"

"Auntie must be joking," Xu Zhaoning laughed inwardly, but on the surface, she still looked gentle and graceful, and at the same time, a little bashful. "Thank you very much Aunt today, otherwise Old Duke and the madame would not easily believe Zhaoning, and they might even be kicked out of Pine Crane Court."

If Aunt Bai wanted to test her, she would have to see if she was worthy of cooperating. Xu Zhaoning felt that Oskar owed her a small golden man.

"Sister Ning, do you think that Madam will really commit suicide?" Aunt Bai 's gaze was locked onto Xu Zhaoning's face, afraid that she would miss any of her subtle expressions.

Just as Lin Loong understood her, Aunt Bai felt that based on her understanding of Lin Loong for many years, Lin Loong would not be stupid enough to call for a thief.

Moreover, when Lin Loong had complained about the peony, her emotions were extremely genuine, which meant that Lin Loong might have really lost a hundred thousand taels of silver.

But later on, Xu Zhaoning easily made everyone believe that Lin Loong was a thief and a thief.

It wasn't because Lin Loong's schemes weren't good enough, but because Xu Zhaoning's schemes were too deep.

As Aunt Bai tried to figure out some of the joints, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. When she wasn't paying attention, this young girl that had lost her life at a young age already had such a deep personality?

"Why can't I understand what Aunt is saying?" Didn't the madame commit suicide by keeping watch over everyone? "I've heard that Aunt Bai and Third Sister's days were not easy during Madam's reign. Could it be that what Aunt Bai said about returning the power back to Madam is true?"

In the face of Aunt Bai 's probing words, a cold intent appeared on Xu Zhaoning's face, but her voice was still gentle and pleasant to hear.

"If Aunt Bai really thinks that her ability is limited, then why don't we return it now and let Old Duke reassign the task?"

Once Aunt Bai was tied down, how could the power in her hands be returned?

Now, she was sure that Lin Loong had also underestimated Xu Zhaoning, which was why she lost so badly this time. She had been fighting with Lin Loong for so many years that it was naturally impossible for her to continue on the same path as Lin Loong.

Aunt Bai 's smile intensified when she thought about it. Before she figured out Xu Zhaoning's background, she might as well just eat and drink to her heart's content.

"What is Sister Ning saying? It can't be that she can't learn it." Besides, Madame came from a large family and had countless things to do, while Aunt was much simpler. If there's anything that you need for the Shao Court, you can naturally report it to Aunt to her. "

Xu Zhaoning chuckled and confirmed once again that Aunt Bai 's segment count was indeed higher than Lin Loong's.

Since Aunt Bai wanted to express her goodwill, she couldn't let herself be wronged. She immediately walked up to Aunt Bai happily and grabbed her hands, innocently saying, "Aunt is really good, it just so happens that Second Sister destroyed my yard a few days ago. I wanted to plant some flowers and plants on it. "I was just about to go to the accounting office to make some silver. Now that I'm under the concubine's charge, I'll just tell her directly."

The corner of Aunt Bai 's mouth twitched. Wasn't this person a bit too direct? Could it be that he didn't see through her intentions?

But then again, how much could some flowers and plants be worth? Xu Zhaoning had her own requests, but at the same time, she began to despise him. As expected of a ignorant slut, she purposely asked for some rare and precious antiques, only requiring some flowers and plants.

Thinking this way, she immediately agreed, "Sure, Sister Ning can go straight to the accounting office to buy some silver in a while. Aunt will inform the accounting office."

"Thank you, Aunt. Zhaoning will definitely support Aunt." As she tried to force out some satisfied and silly white smiles, the laughter in Xu Zhaoning's heart became even louder.

I'm really looking forward to Aunt Bai 's expression after she knows the amount of silver she's going to collect from the account office. Oh, I'm sure the future won't be too boring, she thinks.

Aunt Bai didn't have the ability to prophesied, so she naturally didn't know what Xu Zhaoning was thinking. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized how short-sighted Xu Zhaoning was.

It was also because of the firm support from Xu Zhaoning that made her so moved. So when he returned to the lotus flower courtyard, Aunt Bai called Housekeeper Xu over, instructing him to find some people to add a few girls to Shao Court.

Housekeeper Xu was clear-cut. After lunch, he led a group of maids and servants that were sent over to the Shao Court.
