Chapter 292 - 292 109 Not Short on Money_5

?Chapter 292: Chapter 109: Not Short on Money_5 Chapter 292: Chapter 109: Not Short on Money_5 Just at that time, a Maid outside replied, “Madam, someone from Ma’s Mansion has sent something for the Third Young Lady. The old nanny from Ma’s Mansion says she is here to pay her respects to the Third Young Lady.” This so-called paying of respects was merely an excuse to see how Yueyao was faring.

Yueyao genuinely laughed at this moment. It didn’t matter if Lady Mo disagreed with her; it was the perfect opportunity to tell the old nanny from Ma’s Mansion about the turnip greens and stale buns she had been given that morning, and, through her cousin-in-law, to spread word of Lady Mo’s character to the wives of other official’s families. Yueyao was curious to see how Lady Mo would manage her disgrace then.

Lady Mo found Yueyao’s smile particularly irritating, aware of the scheme brewing in her heart. Lady Mo seethed inside, resenting the ill-timing and wondering if it had been orchestrated. Lady Mo had come to realize that this Maid, relying on her wealth, almost sought independence for her own quarters. No wonder she had seemed oblivious to the recent staff changes within the mansion; she had been waiting right here for her. Lady Mo gave her final decision, “There is no reason for you to support the Maids in your courtyard. However, if you insist, I will not stop you. The rightful share from public funds shall be delivered to you without shortfall, but you must pay for any additional items you want yourself.” That was Lady Mo’s bottom line, determined not to let Yueyao support her own Maids. If Yueyao were to distribute the monthly allowance of silver, soon all the Maids and nannies would be heeding only Yueyao’s command.
