Xiao Yuanshi looked at the accounts of the manor for the past two months.

Not only were they unable to even make ends meet, they even didn't have enough to cover the monthly salary of the servants.

Where did the money go?

At this moment, Ge Chunru's servant girl walked in.

"Madam, Concubine Liu is at the door requesting an audience."

Ge Chunru had a feeling that Tao Liu must have heard that Xiao Yuanshi was in her courtyard and did not have any good intentions.

Just as she was about to refuse her request, Xiao Yuanshi spoke first, "Let her in."

The servant girl naturally did not dare to disobey his orders.

Very soon, Tao Liu walked in.

Her face was pale and tired, and she looked like she was sick.

When she saw Xiao Yuanshi, she was surprised.

Her body was weak and she immediately bowed, "Greetings, general and madam."

Ge Chunru gritted her teeth when she saw how vixen she was. "I still have matters to attend to with the general. If you don't have anything important to attend to, you can leave first."

Tao Liu stood up and her eyes were red.

She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

However, she still nodded. "Yes, then I'll leave."

Ever since Xiao Yuanshi allowed her to call herself "I", she had never changed her words in front of Ge Chunru.

Xiao Yuanshi looked at his beloved concubine and could not help but frown slightly. "Are you sick?"

Tao Liu looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I, I'm fine.

"Since the general and madam have something on, I won't disturb you."

She was sensible.

Xiao Yuanshi said, "We've finished talking about our matters."

He asked, "Why are you looking for madam?"

"I..."

Tao Liu revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression. "No, nothing much."

Ge Chunru thought to herself, she must have done it on purpose.

This pretense was to make Xiao Yuanshi ask.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuanshi asked, "Don't worry about me. Just tell me directly."

Tao Liu bit her lip and looked at Ge Chunru.

She asked nervously, "Madam, can I request for advance payment for this month and the next month?"

Ge Chunru said with a cold face, "There's no precedent for the general's residence to pay the salary earlier."

There was no money in the account to begin with, yet she still wanted advanced monthly payment.

What was Tao Liu thinking?

Tao Liu felt wronged. "Then madam, just pretend that I didn't say anything.

"I'll take my leave first." She bent her body, but when she stood up, she looked like she was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshi hurriedly got up and walked over to support her. "Why aren't you resting in the courtyard?
