Bai Mujin handed over the accounts and said: "This is the result of the palace asking someone to check the accounts, ten years ago when my mother was still alive, the annual income of all the Zhuangzi shops that accompanied the marriage was about 30,000 taels, but since my mother took over, in addition to the first two years of profit, the back has been a loss!" ”

The Lu family said very ashamedly: "It's all the concubines who are incompetent and mismanaged......"

Bai Mujin waved her hand to stop her from continuing, but said with a smile: "Mother should also know that this palace has called all the stewards today, and they have all explained the truth about the losses over the years, all the profits in the first five years have been greedy, and the back has been secretly transferred, mother...... You won't tell Hongu that you don't know anything, do you? ”

Lu's face was bruised, and he was about to faint, but Bai Mujin said: "Mother, don't panic and faint, the words of this palace are not finished yet, and this palace is not a stingy person, no matter what method you make to transfer the property of your first mother, whether you are greedy for ink, this palace is not willing to care, you just need to compensate according to the income of 30,000 taels per year!" ”

"You...... You...... Who can guarantee that the harvest can be guaranteed by drought and flood every year, it is too strong! Lu didn't care about being knocked unconscious, and hurriedly argued.

Bai Mujin smiled for a moment, and then said: "If the mother is not satisfied, you can go to court with the palace, the palace doesn't mind losing this person, since you have a way to swallow it, there is naturally a way to spit it out, it is not a difficult thing, ten and a half years is only 315,000 taels, the palace only needs 300,000 taels is enough, and those fractions are for the mother's hard-earned money in the past ten years!" ”

Look at how generous she is, fifteen thousand taels, plus the six thousand taels that have just been erased, it will be a total of twenty-one thousand taels less than her, no housekeeper can have such a high salary, right?

Lu only felt that his mind was like exploding, according to Bai Hibiscus's algorithm, she had to compensate Bai Hibiscus for a total of 450,000 taels of silver, 450,000 taels, even if she sold all the properties she secretly purchased, it would be far from enough.

Her shop can earn a lot of money every year, but Lu Zhaoan takes a lot of silver from her, and every year he has to pay up and down more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the expenses for herself and her two children are also huge, and all the food and clothing of Bai Yunxi and Bai Muchen are compared to the highest treatment.

Silk silk is not as rare as burlap in her eyes, not to mention her own jewelry, which year will not be replaced with a new one? These are all silver, she can earn it, so she is naturally not afraid to spend it, but now she is asked to compensate for such a large amount of silver, where is she going to get it?

Bai Mu Hibiscus didn't give her much time to sigh and worry, and then said: "Mother, you should understand the meaning of this palace, when will you be able to get this silver, give me a word!" ”

Lu pointed at Bai Muhibiscus and gritted his teeth and said, "You are a Ming robbery, you ...... You...... I don't have that much silver, and neither do you if you force me to die! ”

Bai Mujin knew that she would come to this trick, so he said: "You have confessed to those shopkeepers, the evidence of signing and drawing is in the hands of this palace, what you have done is clear to this palace, how many benefits you have gained over the years, you yourself know it, if you have to repay the account, then don't blame this palace for turning its face ruthlessly!" ”

Lu didn't believe that Bai Muhibiscus could have any way, so he only played a scoundrel and said: "If you don't want silver, you want a life, I will take this life here, if you want it, take it, who made you the county lord, although I am your mother, but I am not as big as the county lord!" ”

"Don't use my mother's identity to pressure me, it's already at this point, it's useless to say anything, your minions not only explained how much silver you have lost, but also how many shops, Zhuangzi, houses, where you are, and how much silver you can get in every year, these are the property of this palace and the younger brother of this palace!" Bai Mujin said unhurriedly that he didn't pay attention to Lu's rogue methods at all.

Lu's heart was stalked, and he couldn't wait to die immediately, those dog minions actually betrayed her cleanly, they were really a bunch of white-eyed wolves, they had no less benefits over the years, and they sold her so easily.

Bai Mujin saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, and continued: "You can play tricks, but this palace has a means to force you to vomit, you can give it a try, don't use your mother's identity to pressure me again, you don't deserve it!" ”

"You...... I will tell your father that if you are so disrespectful and unfilial, the world will spurn you! Lu scolded angrily.

Bai Mujin didn't care at all, and said bluntly: "It's okay, just say it, don't forget, you are not alone, you have a brother, and a pair of children, you think about it, do you want money or ......"

Bai Mujin retracted her words in time, but what was not finished, Lu must have understood, she will no longer pretend to be a filial daughter, it is a matter of time before she tears her face, from now on, she wants to let Lu know what it is like to be pushed into hell by others step by step.

And that's just the beginning......

Before leaving, Bai Muhibiscus turned his head with a smile and said very reasonably: "Four hundred and fifty thousand taels, just give my mother forty-five days, this is already the greatest patience of this palace, I hope my mother will not let this palace down, otherwise...... You're going to be the first lady to go to jail for your debts! ”

Lu couldn't help but scold anymore when he heard it: "Get out...... Get the hell out of me......"

Bai Mujin left on her own, but Mama Rui turned around and said with a smile: "The county lord is generous, but it doesn't mean that the lady can insult the county lord at will, only this once, not the next one!" ”

Lu's eyes were dark, and he couldn't support it anymore, this time he really fainted!

Yingqiu and Nuan Dong rushed over at once and held the person, so as not to let the Lu family really fall out, but Bai Muhibiscus didn't know all this, and even if he knew, it was estimated that he was just smiling!

However, in the afternoon of the same day, as soon as Bai Shizu came back, he found Yiqin Pavilion, Bai Mu Hibiscus seemed to have already realized it, and the people of Yiqin Pavilion did not have a connection, so he directly let Bai Shizu in.

As soon as Bai Shizu walked to the hall, he saw Bai Hibiscus serving the tea ceremony, and the elegant posture made people can't help but stop, in the hot water, his daughter's appearance loomed, but it added a little touching beauty.

Bai Shizu stood at the door, not making a sound, he seemed to have suddenly fallen into some kind of memory, and his eyes unconsciously softened.

After a long time, Bai Muhibiscus raised his head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Father, why didn't you make a sound when you came?" My daughter was too focused, but I didn't notice it, you two girls, I don't know how to remind you! ”

Before the mandarin duck and the magpie could explain, Bai Shizu waved his hand and said, "Don't blame them, it's me who won't let them disturb you!" ”

Bai Mujin looked at Bai Shizu's soft expression that had never appeared, and a slight cold smile hung on the corners of his mouth, but in an instant, he changed to his usual gentle and pleasant warm smile.

"Father come in and sit, I just got some tea, you can try it!" Bai Mu Hibiscus was in a rare good mood, and even his attitude towards Bai Shizu was much gentler and kinder.

Bai Shizu also forgot his original intention for a while, quietly on the opposite side of Bai Hibiscus, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip gently, the mellow and elegant feeling flowed wantonly between his lips and teeth, the tip of his tongue was slightly bitter at first, and after careful tasting it turned into sweetness.

Bai Shizu couldn't help but take another sip, nodded again and again, and praised: "It's really a good tea, both the color and the taste are evocative!" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly, took a sip, closed his eyes slightly, and let the fragrance of tea linger in his mouth, and only said after a while: "Hmm...... I haven't had a chance to fiddle for a few days, but the craftsmanship has not regressed, and this tea is probably the most important thing to pay attention to the state of mind! ”

Bai Shizu saw that she was really in a good mood, so he said carefully: "Father has something I want to ask you, I don't know ......."

"Father, how can you live up to such a good tea, taste it again, it's probably the most joyful taste in the world!" The faint voice of the white hibiscus seemed to be a mist between the two of them.

Bai Shizu's heart was stagnant, he always felt that Bai Mujian had something to say, but he couldn't argue with her, so he had to pick up the tea again and pour it into his mouth, but unfortunately this time he couldn't taste the state of mind just now.

Bai Mujian looked at him, frowned slightly, and said: "Father, my daughter's tea is not drunk like this, elegant things need to be elegant, you have something in your heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste anything!" ”

"Jin'er...... Can you not talk to your father like this, I know you are angry, but ......" Bai Shizu said helplessly, he had to lower his posture if he had something to ask for, otherwise he would have spoken straightforwardly.

Bai Mujin glanced at him, put down the teapot in his hand, and said to the mandarin duck: "Withdraw!" ”

Bai Shizu was afraid that she would be angry, so he hurriedly added: "Jin'er, my father didn't mean to ruin your mood for drinking tea, but ...... You should also be considerate of the difficulties of being a father, your mother...... There is indeed something wrong with her, but after all, she has raised your sister and brother for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work! ”

Bai Mujin waited for the mandarin duck to remove all the cups of tea and wipe the table before saying, "Hasn't my daughter already wiped off 21,000 taels of silver?" Ten years, no one can use so much silver! ”

"But she's not a servant, she's your mother, isn't that family affection worth the silver?" Bai Shizu's tone was faintly angry.

Bai Mujin looked at him coldly, and suddenly asked, "Father, how my sister and brother have been doing in the past ten years, have you ever cared?" ”

Bai Shizu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a wave of shame and annoyance hit his heart, and said: "There is your mother and grandmother at home, what else does your father have to worry about, and besides, I am busy with official business, and it is understandable that I can't take care of it!" ”
