Chapter 198: Private Evils
"Old lady......" Liu Ruoyuan's face was pale by Liu Ruoyuan's words, she saw that the situation was not good, so she had to sit back next to Mrs. Liu, and hugged Mrs. Liu's big / leg on the one hand, which seemed to be infinitely wronged.
The smile on Old Lady Liu's face was long gone, her gaze avoided Liu Ruoyuan, and she pushed Liu Ruoyuan's hand out.
"Big girl, stay for a while." Mrs. Liu said, while instructing the little girl, "Go and call the eldest lady and the eldest / grandmother." ”
Liu Ruoyuan knew that Mrs. Liu was in front of Mrs. Liu today, so she deliberately came to find Mrs. Liu's bad luck. And Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma were not present at this incident, so they pretended not to know and did not come. Now, everyone is making trouble here with Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma may not have gotten the news.
The little girl listened to the order and hurriedly agreed and went out. Liu Ruoyuan saw that Mrs. Liu's expression was cold, and she also knew that she was in trouble today, so she didn't dare to sit in front of Mrs. Liu, so she slowly got up and stood under the bed.
As Mrs. Liu San once said, saying that she was going to marry into the Zhending Marquis Mansion, in fact, it was not a matter of eight characters. At this time, it is not wise to become arrogant and act in the house. Liu Ruoyuan, and even Mrs. Liu, they seem to have forgotten that even if the eldest princess really falls in love with Liu Ruoyuan, and wants to marry Liu Ruoyuan, she still has to agree to the Liu family in order to do this family business.
And the Liu family is no longer the world of Mrs. Liu's family.
The little girl went for a while, and then brought Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma over. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma seem to be indifferent on their faces, but if you look closely, you can still see the worry in their eyes. The two men already knew what was going on here.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma both saluted Mrs. Liu. Liu Ruoyuan gave the two of them a look on the side.
“…… The big girl or words collided with the old lady, the second wife, and the third wife, thinking that she was still a child, let her apologize, and I will take her back to be disciplined. Mrs. Liu laughed. It's not too early at this hour, she should also go back to prepare, and go to the Marquis Zhending's mansion tomorrow. ”
"Big lady," Mrs. Liu San was not happy when she heard Mrs. Liu say this, "Who was still saying yesterday that the eldest girl has already become a parent and a mother at this age, why did she suddenly become a child again today?" Since it is necessary to discipline. It's not good to discipline it in a moment, it's better to send someone to send a message to the eldest princess, and the eldest girl will not go tomorrow. ”
"It's not that the big girl collided with anyone, it's the family's accounts." Mrs. Liu's tone was calm, not as fierce as Mrs. Liu's, but the words she said were equally weighty.
Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu San both said so, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma knew that today's things could not be good. Both of them had to look at Mrs. Liu, and only Mrs. Liu could stop the matter at the moment.
Old Mrs. Liu's face was not good-looking.
On one side are the two daughters-in-law of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu. There are also Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan, on one side are Mrs. Liu and Liu Da/Grandma, and Liu Ruoyuan. Although Mrs. Liu was willing to marry Liu Ruoyuan into the Zhending Marquis Mansion, she was very conniving with Liu Ruoyuan. But Liu Ruoyuan has indeed done something recently. Although Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, she was still a little annoyed in her heart.
Moreover, this is not that Liu Ruoyuan wants a few more dishes and a few more clothes. This is still a trivial matter in the eyes of Mrs. Liu, even if it costs some money, but how much can it be. It must be that Liu Ruoyuan's age and Han Qing's age, if they want to get married, it will be the end of this year and the beginning of next year. However, this matter involved the private disadvantages of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma's housekeeper.
If Liu Ruoyuan's additional expenses are spread into the accounts of the public middle school under the guise of other items, there are more than 3,000 taels of silver a year, so how much silver is there in total over the years. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma can handle this matter like this, so what about the other personal disadvantages?
Even if she knew that Changfang had a large population and low income, Mrs. Liu had always turned a blind eye to some of the practices of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma, but that was because Mrs. Liu did not expect that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma would have such fat guts and appetites.
Even if they are eccentric to this room, Mrs. Liu also knows that she can't be allowed to go on like this anymore. Moreover, this matter was brought up by Liu Ruoxi, which means that the population of the second and third rooms has admitted this matter, and they are bound to give an explanation.
There is no other way to deal with this matter than to deal with it impartially and satisfy the second and third rooms.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but glance at Liu Ruoyuan. Even if she still feels a little partial to this eldest granddaughter in her heart, Mrs. Liu can't help but admit that Liu Ruoyuan is really not a worry-free person.
“…… I treat you two as trustworthy people, and all these years, the affairs of the family have been handed over to the two of you, and I will leave them alone. There are also people who say how your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are, but I refuse to listen. Today, you can tell me what is going on...... "Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma.
"If this is the case, there is really no such thing!" Mrs. Liu immediately denied it, her face full of surprise, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"It doesn't work." Liu Da/Grandma also chimed in.
These two people flatly denied it, not to mention others, even Mrs. Liu didn't believe it.
"Old lady......" Mrs. Liu San stepped forward and walked up to Mrs. Liu, lowered her voice and said so.
Mrs. Liu nodded.
"In that case, then call people up and testify to each other."
Mrs. Liu San agreed, and sent her daughter-in-law who was serving beside her out, and after a while, she brought three stewards and a gentleman in the account room.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma saw this battle, and both of them saw sweat on their faces. The two exchanged glances with each other, and they knew that today's matter could not be shirked no matter what. At this time, the two also regretted that they should not have connived at Liu Ruoyuan to make trouble. Before, Mrs. Liu San was deflated, and both of them were happy in their hearts, thinking that Mrs. Liu was not stronger than Mrs. Liu San, and the two also wanted Mrs. Liu to suffer.
I just didn't expect that it would be such a result.
It is not something that can be done overnight to collect stewards and verify accounts. Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, they didn't even notice when they had laid out such a trap today, just waiting for them to jump in by themselves!
Mrs. Liu asked a few words, and several stewards told Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma some of the private disadvantages when they were housekeepers, and the gentleman in the accounting room also took out a book of accounts, all of which were false accounts made by Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma over the years, all of which were counted in total, just last year and this year, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma embezzled at least more than 10,000 taels of silver from the public.
As for the previous accounts, since they were not in the hands of this gentleman, they need to be further verified.
Since this year, Mrs. Liu Second and Mrs. Liu have begun to follow the housekeeper, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma have not been as convenient as in the past, so there are fewer silver taels who are greedy for ink. In this way, there are more than 10,000 taels, and if you think about it, you can know how much silver these two people have been greedy for in the past few years!
After listening to the words of the steward and the bookkeeper, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything for a long time. Even if she knew that Liu Ruoyuan's more than three thousand taels, Mrs. Liu was prepared, but this number still surprised Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu could never have imagined that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma would be able to covet so much silver.
After a while, Mrs. Liu trembled and pointed to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma.
"You, you...... Okay, okay. "Mrs. Liu is angry, and she is a little incoherent," ...... Always tell me that the family is difficult, the money is not enough, what is the situation of my family, it turns out, it turns out, it turns out, it is all swallowed by the two of you! You guys...... It's a shame that you are from a big family, but you still know what face is and what is a lotus pond! Even those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who were beheaded outside don't have your guts! ”
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma were busy on their knees.
The two of them were still arguing, and at this time, they didn't dare to say that they weren't greedy for ink at all, but they didn't have so much greed for ink.
“…… A big family, many people and many things, it is really difficult. …… There are always some accounts ......" both said that they did not swallow the money privately, but spent it at home, but the accounts were messed up.
"It's all this time, and I'm still messing around like this, talking nonsense, when I'm a child of what age, haven't I ever taken care of the house?" Old Mrs. Liu was furious, "When you haven't married into this door, I've been in charge for decades!" ”
"Old lady......" Liu Da/Grandma knelt and crawled forward, hugged Mrs. Liu's legs, and cried while admonishing, "I don't dare to say that there is no at all, but it is really difficult......
"Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both women's families, and we don't know about things outside, so there are really not so many. What else does the old lady not know, those slaves and bullies, what kind of means are not, please let the old lady be able to see ......" Mrs. Liu also cried.
These two people knew that the guilt was inevitable, so they avoided the serious and lightly admitted a part, hoping that Mrs. Liu would be soft-hearted and treat them lightly.
“…… Such an ugly thing! You can explain everything in your hands, this family can't let you take care of it anymore. (To be continued......)
