Liu Jingcun was also very surprised, his monthly income was only one hundred and eighty taels, and the income in the mansion mainly came from sacrificial fields and other industries, if it was still not enough, it was to fill it with the dowry of the lord of Ronghua, and he had never worried about these problems over the years. First, Xia Lian is in charge of the mansion, and the heroine is inside and outside, and secondly, there is the rich dowry of the lord of Ronghua, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

Now that he suddenly heard the monthly expenses, he really couldn't help but be shocked. He used to socialize outside, and it wasn't that he hadn't heard anyone talk about things in the mansion, and he wouldn't have 10,000 taels a month.

Mu Lingluo smiled coldly and said, "In this capital, which Guogong Mansion has such a big expense?" My daughter was very surprised, these are slowly false accounts, and my mother's dowry is also losing money every year, and she even almost lost the store. I don't open up sources and reduce expenditures, I don't think I can even eat at the end of next month. Father take a good look, doesn't this really treat me as a fool and give me all this? With that, Mu Lingluo motioned to Forsythia to put all the account books in front of Liu Jingcun.

Liu Jingcun flipped through a few pages casually, these were all reviewed by Mu Lingluo and Liu Haoxuan who stayed up all night, and the problematic places were marked with cinnabar pens, almost every page. Liu Jingcun is not a fool, he carefully read the two pages, and found that all the problems that were marked were problems, and what Mu Lingluo said just now was not fabricated out of thin air, but real.

Liu Jingcun's brows became tighter and tighter the more he looked at it, he didn't even need to open other accounts, just one book was full of loopholes.

Liu Jingcun raised his eyes to look at Xia Lian, the question in his eyes was very obvious, his thin lips pursed slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xia Lian was also caught off guard, she really didn't expect that Mu Lingluo would be in trouble at this time, and even read all the tricks in the accounts thoroughly in such a short period of time, and took advantage of Liu Ayayue's complaint to backhand her face.

Xia Lian saw that Forsythia had been prepared, and knew that Mu Lingluo had already prepared to find out about this matter today, even if Liu Ayayue didn't trouble her today, she must have other purposes.

Xia Lian was looked at by Liu Jingcun with this kind of gaze at this time, and she was unprepared, and she was even panicked, if she had changed the past, she had thought of countermeasures, and she would not be so helpless. It was not good for her to bump into Liu Ayayue, she didn't have time to think about this recently, and it was so urgent, she really didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I ...... I ......" Xia Lian twisted the veil, and just as she was about to speak, she was picked up by Mu Lingluo, "Mother doesn't want to say, don't you know at all?" This family and even my mother's dowry have been in your hands for so many years! Even if you are a fool, you shouldn't lose money in every store! My mother's shop was even more lost, and a few of them were sold! If this is the case, I think it is strange, I have specially asked people to investigate my mother's dowry shops, and all of them are very popular, and there is an endless stream of people. Moreover, I also found out that when my mother got married, there were only three dowry shops and only one Zhuangzi, and in just ten years, it has increased to more than 20 dowry shops, and all of them have excellent geographical locations, as well as tea gardens, and there are more than a dozen Zhuangzi, which is equivalent to more than 200,000 taels. And the house plus my mother's deficit, there is also a rough three or four hundred thousand taels, such polarization, it is too strange! ”

Xia Lian was stunned when she heard this, she really didn't expect Mu Lingluo to go to investigate her dowry, and it was in this short period of time.

"I also asked people to ask the guys in my shop, and it turned out that the old guys brought by my mother had gone a lot, and there was only one shopkeeper who was loyal and never left. I heard him say that many things in my mother's shop were taken away by my mother for no reason, and I never paid a penny. And then those things appeared in my mother's dowry shop, isn't that strange? The more Mu Lingluo said, the paler Xia Lian's face became, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xia Lian really couldn't imagine that Mu Lingluo was so meticulous not only to check the accounts, but also to let people see the shopkeepers in those shops, she couldn't help but grit her teeth, and she really didn't think of rebuttal for a while.

"It doesn't matter if my mother refuses to answer, I really don't want to be a family full of holes, I don't have a dowry to fill the luxury of this mansion, and if I can't fill it, I treat people harshly, such a thankless job, my father loves to whom I love to go. As for the dowry, I already know it clearly, and I must have understood in my mother's hearts that I will go to my grandmother tomorrow to say goodbye, and this list and this account are also for their purposes. Mu Lingluo said coldly.

Originally, she planned to go to King Min's Mansion first today, and she would say it later. It's just that after the Qian family's incident, coupled with the scorpion incident, it was not easy for her to go. She expected that Liu Ayayue would inevitably not be found out today, in order to cover up what Liu Haoxuan had done, lest Liu Jingcun stand on Xia Lian's side and use all her strength to suppress their brother and sister, so she decided to come to this trick, which happened to catch Xia Lian off guard.

She can also be regarded as understanding Liu Jingcun, once her interests are touched, the selfish factor in his bones will emerge.

Liu Jingcun listened to Mu Lingluo's words, plus the accounts he had just looked, where did he not understand!

With Xia Lian's idea of dowry, even if she can earn it again, it is impossible to earn more than 200,000 taels of silver in ten years. And for the huge dowry of the lord of Ronghua, these ten or so Chinese New Year's Eve taels can be properly come. The matter is already obvious, Xia Lian took the silver of the princess and the dowry of the lord of Ronghua to enrich the dowry for herself, and in the past ten years, she has been like a blood-sucking locust, trying to absorb all the money and benefits and return them to her own use.

Liu Jingcun only felt that the gentle and considerate wife in front of him was really strange, she was obviously an interpreter flower, so gentle and sensible, she took care of the mansion for him, so that he had no worries. However, she is also like this, but behind her back, like a thief, secretly moving everything to her own name, no wonder she has been holding on to the housekeeper's power, but it turned out to be convenient for her to collect money. If Mu Lingluo hadn't found out, would one day, the money of the entire Guogong Mansion fall into her hands, and he would have become destitute?

The more Liu Jingcun thought about it, the more he felt that the person in front of him was terrible, wearing a gentle skin, and doing dirty things like stealing chickens and touching dogs.

Xia Lian saw that Liu Jingcun's eyes were not right when she looked at her, and hurriedly said: "Master, this is not the case, you listen to the concubine's explanation......
