Chapter 323: Overhearing The Conversation
“Thank you, Madam.” Actually, Butler Yang was specially waiting for Tang Li here this morning. After he brought people to check the accounts in the main house these few days, he was really shocked.
He felt that it was necessary to let Tang Li know about it.
“Madam, I wonder if you have time now. I want to tell you about the accounts of the Qi Mansion.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
“In the past year, there have been a lot of unnecessary expenses, such as…”
Tang Li listened attentively to what Butler Yang said.
After Butler Yang finished speaking, he added, “In the next two days, First Madam will need 500,000 yuan. I wonder if we should give her the money.”
“Five hundred thousand? What are they doing with such a large sum of money?”
“First Madam is seriously frightened and needs to recuperate.”
“It costs 500,000 yuan to nourish her body? Is she going to eat dragon meat?”
Tang Li snorted and said, “Tell First Master to get the kitchen to cook more ginseng and chicken for First Madam. We won’t give her 500,000 yuan for abalone and shark fin.”
Hearing that, Butler Yang was relieved. “Alright.”
Then, he added, “I checked the salary each master pays their servants. The difference is huge.”
“How big?”
“Some are paid up to sixty thousand a month, and some are paid as little as six thousand.”
Tang Li was speechless. “What kind of job is fifty thousand, and what kind of job is six thousand?”
Although Tang Li had never worked or managed a large house, she knew that this difference sounded abnormal.
Butler Yang said, “They do pretty much the same thing.”
“Humph! Looks like these are people with connections again.” Tang Li did not need to guess to know that. She said to Butler Yang, “Get someone to draft a salary list. In the future, pay according to the difficulty of the jobs.”
“Alright.” Butler Yang thought for a moment and said, “Madam, the butlers of the other three families came to talk to me about their salaries yesterday afternoon.”
Actually, the three of them came to ask about his and Butler Zhang’s monthly salary.
Tang Li sneered. “What’s the point of them talking to you?”
“That’s what I told them, but they all said that the salary is too low and wanted Madam to give them more benefits.”
Tang Li was about to say it was impossible when Qi Yihan’s voice was heard coming from outside the door. “Agree to that.”
Tang Li and Butler Yang looked at Qi Yihan, who had returned alone.
Qi Yihan walked to Tang Li’s side and said, “If money can bribe people so that you and Butler Yang won’t have to go through so much trouble in the Qi Mansion, you can give them more.”
He was not short of money, but he could not bear to see his wife getting tired over trivia.
Tang Li thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. She nodded and asked, “Then how much is suitable?”
She had never managed a house and did not know anything.
“Butler Yang, do as you deem fit.”
Tang Li looked at Butler Yang.
Butler Yang nodded. He already knew what to do.
Then, he left.
Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan and asked, “Didn’t you go for a run with Qiqi and Linlin? Why are you back so soon?”
“I met Miss Tan on the way, so I came back.”
Tang Li knew that Qi Yihan didn’t want to give others a chance to overthink, so he came back.
She held his hand and said, “Then let’s go for a walk.”
“Alright.”
The two of them walked out.
In the early summer, the Qi Mansion was filled with flowers and greenery. It was especially pleasing to the eye. The two of them walked on a stone path. Tang Li said, “I promised Situ Huang that I would treat Situ Jin today. Maybe Situ Huang will come and pick me up after dinner.”
Qi Yihan nodded and instructed worriedly, “The Situ family is even more messy than our family. When you go there, just stay in their courtyard. If anyone looks for you, ignore them.”
Tang Li nodded. “Yes.”
If not for the fact that Situ Huang and Situ Jin were too rich and Tang Li could earn a lot from them, she would not have bothered to go to their house.
“If anyone treats you badly, you can just talk back. Don’t let yourself suffer.”
Tang Li smiled and nodded vigorously.
Qi Yihan added, “There are men in the other branches of the Situ family. They and Situ Jin have been fighting openly and secretly over business. Because of his health, Situ Jin can’t deal with them. If you go over, they will definitely think of a way to bribe you. If you don’t want to deal with them, leave them to Situ Huang. If Situ Huang can’t deal with them, you can treat Situ Jin in our house.”
Looking at the serious expression on the man’s face, Tang Li touched his cheek with her other hand, saying, “I know. No one has ever managed to make me suffer.”
Even knowing what Tang Li was capable of, Qi Yihan was still worried.
Tang Li leaned her head on his chest and hugged his waist. “I’ll treat Situ Jin, but I won’t go every day. Besides, I usually stay in the herb room. If anyone dares to come in, I’ll let them have a taste of being poisoned.”
Qi Yihan hugged her back and nodded.
Only then did Tang Li let go of him. The two of them continued walking hand in hand.
After walking for some time, a voice suddenly came from ahead.
It was Qi Ming and Zhang Xinya.
They were obviously taking their sons for a walk in the garden. Zhang Xinya said to Qi Ming, “I heard from the servants that Tan Wenjing is trying to get close to the two children Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt brought back. Do you think she wants to bribe them?”
“Because she wants to suck up to First Aunt and stay in our family.”
“Don’t you think she has some designs on Fourth Uncle?”
Hearing that, Tang Li turned to look at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan looked very cold, so cold that it was as if the air around him had dropped several degrees.
At this moment, Qi Ming added, “I hope she will have designs on Fourth Uncle. That way, Fourth Uncle will be distracted and won’t have time to keep an eye on the projects in our hands.”
“Then… Should we help her?”
