The woman on the side moved her mouth, but she really didn't dare to say anything.

Shen Qingrong can't really be blamed for this matter, and Princess Shuo can't be blamed either.

Back then, when there was still plenty of food and the price of food had not risen, Prince Shuo's Mansion sent Bai Mei over to remind them to buy more food.

But did their wives listen?

Not only did the madam not listen, she even gave the white lady a lot of face. She didn't even give her a cup of tea.

And what did Lin Yunniang say at that time?

Leave it alone.

As long as there is money in this world, can we not buy food?

Yes, she has money, she has a lot of money, but the food now is a bit out of reach for them, and the price of food is rising higher and higher, making it increasingly difficult to eat.

Especially in the Lin Mansion, they owe one thing to the east and one thing to the west. They don't even know how the food was bought.

What kind of food are they eating now?

It was obviously money, but in order to take out the money, Lin Yunniang used the large treasury in the house.

As for the large treasury in the mansion, she had not touched it for a long time.

Especially after this year, Yipinxiang's business is not very good, and Yipinxiang has no business. Where do they get the dividends and where do they get the money? Even if the food shortage is over, Lin Yunniang wants to make up for the money she lost. Easy.

Shen Qingci opens a shop every year, but these shops belong to Lin Yunniang, and her bonus is limited to only a few.

It is said that these dividends are indeed quite large, but Lin Yunniang has no choice but to spend them continuously. She has no idea how much she has spent.

This time, she might have to spend the betrothal gifts from Brother Hui and Brother Jing.

Mrs. Lin still complained from time to time, talking about Shen Qingrong's faults and scolding Shen Qingci. Mrs. Yao couldn't help but lower her head when she heard that. She really felt that the two of them were a little unjust.

This is really just for nothing. A pot fell from the sky and hit someone on the head.

And Lin Yunniang never mentioned that Bai Mei came to persuade her to collect grain.

In the end, she couldn't bear it any longer. She said a few words and hastily dismissed Mrs. Lin, then sent Mrs. Lin away.

"Mostly just to buy some food."

She said to Mrs. Yao.

"But madam..."

Mrs. Yao was really unhappy.

"Food prices outside are too high."

“I’ll buy it even if it’s high.”

Lin Yunniang yelled at Mrs. Yao directly, which made Mrs. Yao spit on Xingzi. Of course she didn't dare to say anything more?

All they could do was get money, and they also had people go out to buy food secretly. After buying it, they had to send more than half of it to the Lin family to feed the Lin family's dozens of mouths.
