Chapter 22 I really ran out of food



"What do you mean I'm afraid it won't work? What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Lu was so angry at the maid's words that she yelled at her.

The maid was so frightened that she saluted quickly and said, "Old madam, please calm down. I'm saying that the kitchen may not have enough money to buy groceries."

"How can I say this if I don't have money to buy food?" Mrs. Lu became less angry after hearing this, but she was extremely confused and couldn't help but ask the maid again.

"I don't know the specific situation, but the kitchen really can't afford the money to buy food. Yesterday, I went to them and they said that if they don't use money to buy food for them, the entire Lu Mansion may run out of food."

The maid had to tell her the real situation under the pressure of Mrs. Lu. She had known about it for a long time. It was just that Mrs. Lu was so exhausted from running around for the Lu family these past few days that she couldn't tell her.

.

"The kitchen actually has no money to buy groceries. How is this possible? The Lu family is actually in a situation where they have no money to buy rice for cooking. This is really a big joke."

Mrs. Lu still didn't believe it.

However, she cannot tolerate disbelief in the words of her own personal maid. After all, there is no need for you to tell such a lie.

"But this is the fact. They said that the young lady has not allocated money for the kitchen recently, so that they have no money to buy food."

The maid emphasized it again, saying that it was Jiang Yunshang who didn't transfer the money.

But she didn't need to say this at all, after all, the entire Lu family really relied on Jiang Yunshang for their consumption.

All the belongings of the Lu family had been confiscated, and nothing of value was left at home.

The Lu family's current expenses depend on Jiang Yunshang's dowry.

When Jiang Yunshang got married, the Lu family didn't know anything about the dowry, but the accounts showed that she owned ten shops.

Six of these ten stores are in Anseong.

It was because the Jiang family felt that it was inconvenient for their daughter's family to go out to do business, so they gave her more shops in Ancheng.

The Jiang family is definitely good at doing business, and Jiang Yunshang is no less good at doing business.

The business of these six shops is very prosperous, so it is not difficult to support the Lu family's life.

Thanks to her, the Lu family was not allowed to ransack their homes. Even after the head of the family was imprisoned, the quality of life did not suffer too much.

But Mrs. Lu never thought that the good Jiang Yunshang would cut off their food just because he said so.

"No, I have to go to the kitchen to take a look first." Old Mrs. Lu was furious. She didn't even believe that the situation would be so bad, and she wanted to find out the truth.

But she just took a step forward and felt that it was not necessary to go to the kitchen, so she said to the maid: "Where is the young lady? Go and call her over."

"I heard from my servant that the young lady said she wanted to worship Buddha and burn incense. She may not come back for three to five days."

The maid could only tell Mrs. Lu everything she had learned about.

When Mrs. Lu heard that Jiang Yunshang was no longer at home, the house was still like this.

I became even more angry.

"Okay, she's quite good. She can go around showing off without any worries, but she leaves us to suffer at home."

Mrs. Lu actually blamed Jiang Yunshang and felt that she had caused them to suffer this way.

"Old madam, what should we do now? The young lady is not at home, so it is useless for us to blame. We should still find a way to solve the problem of no rice in the kitchen."

Seeing Mrs. Lu's angry look, the maid was a little panicked, and quickly gave Mrs. Lu a few words of persuasion.

Although Mrs. Lu did not go to the kitchen to see it, the food served these days was indeed relatively poor.

She didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was just a temporary failure to buy good food, but she didn't expect that the kitchen had no money to buy food.

"I still have some things here that can be exchanged for money. Let them go buy groceries first, and let the master and the second young master have a good meal first."

Mrs. Lu didn't lose her temper in the end. After all, the situation wasn't fully understood yet, so she wouldn't just break up like this.

"Okay." The maid didn't say much, she just responded, quickly took the jewelry she took out and ran out.

"Third Young Master, do you have something to do with the old lady?" The maid bumped into Lu Mingqian outside.

Seeing that Lu Mingqian was also walking towards Mrs. Lu's house, she stopped and asked.

"I have something to discuss with the old lady. Is she in the house?"

Lu Mingqian nodded, and then asked the maid, Mrs. Lu, if she was in the room.

"The old lady cares about you, but she is not very comfortable right now. If it is not a big deal, Third Young Master, please come back another day."

The maid knew that Mrs. Lu was in a bad mood right now and would definitely lose her temper if someone disturbed her.

So she used the excuse that she was not feeling well and asked Lu Mingqian to come back another day.

"I have something very important, which is about the life of the Lu family."

Lu Mingqian also came here to discuss the living expenses of the Lu family.

The people in the kitchen have found Lu Mingqian and explained their current dilemma.

If the money is no longer available, the entire Lu family will starve.

After all, Mrs. Lu is the head of the family. If such a big thing happens, he can only go to Mrs. Lu.

"Oh, it turns out that the third young master is here for this matter. The old lady has already brought out some silver and jewelry and asked the servant to change them now. First, welcome the master and the second young master back. They will definitely be able to find a solution when they return."

When the maid heard that it was just about the living issues of the Lu family, she felt that it would be easy to let Lu Mingqian go.

"What, dad and second brother are coming back. When?"

Lu Mingqian didn't know this news, but he didn't expect that he was running around about the Lu family's affairs every day, and in the end, such a big thing about the Lu family was hidden from him.

"Have the third young master been busy outside these days? The entire Lu family knows such big news. The master and the second young master are back today and will be home soon."

The maid saw that he didn't know anything, but she explained it to him seriously.

"Oh, I've been busy outside for the past few days." When encountering such a situation, Lu Mingqian felt particularly embarrassed, so he had to find this sentence to cover up.

"Well, is there anything else, Third Young Master? If you have anything else to do, please leave first."

The maid didn't intend to talk too much to Lu Mingqian, and quickly planned to get over it and leave.

"By the way, nothing else happened in the house these days, right? When did your Madam Lu leave? Did she not arrange the situation at home every time she left?"

After Lu Mingqian took a step in the city, he suddenly asked him this question again.
