Chapter 174: The Old Lady with the Black Cauldron

"Mother, you see, there are only so many things in the warehouse." Xue Mingsheng said: "Except for tens of thousands of taels of silver here that I took away and used, I haven't touched anything else." But I've seen them all, and there's nothing too valuable, and they're all quite big. You can't monetize it without being discovered. ”

Yu Shanna had never been to the storehouse and had no idea what was here, but there was no doubt that the truth of no money was completely different from what she imagined.

After walking around the warehouse, she really didn't find any money, and she didn't even find anything too valuable, Yu Shanna felt a little wrong, returned to the door, picked up the account book on the table and opened it.

"I've read the ledger." Xue Mingsheng said: "I don't have time to check them one by one, but I picked a few things, which should be able to match." What is in the ledger is in the treasury. It's just a little strange, this ledger is too untidy. ”

Xue Mingsheng has followed Xue Lang to learn to do business for a few years, and it is naturally a common account book, but he has never seen such a dirty one, it is speckled with black ink, and it seems that a lot of things have been erased, and it can only be guessed that the business at home was sluggish at some time, so he sold some antique things, and since he sold them, he naturally had to cross them out.

Xue Mingsheng thought simply, but Yu Shanna was different, she flipped through the account book, put the pieces of ink under her nose and sniffed it, dipped her fingers again, and then said in a deep voice: "You stupid boy, we have been deceived." ”

"Scammed?" Xue Mingsheng was startled and hurriedly leaned over: "Mother, what's wrong with being deceived?" ”

"Didn't you notice that this is this year's new ink?" Yu Shanna said: "This was just erased." ”

flipped through it and found that there were many places that had been smeared, Yu Shanna gritted her teeth: "Look at how many of them have been smeared, this must have been taken away." And here, the top row, below is the amount of silver, and I guess the top is the silver ticket. You don't want to think about it, how can a person who is so cautious as your father not put some money at home for emergencies, and our family is not short of money. If there is not a million, there should be 800,000. There is also this warehouse, the Xue family's treasury, and there is not a single valuable treasure. Is this in the past? As far as I remember, your grandfather once bought a pair of sky-high calligraphy and paintings, and put them in the warehouse, and your father took them to frame them once, and there was no one on them. ”

Xue Mingsheng listened. I also felt that what Yu Shanna said was very reasonable, and picked up the account book again, and found that it was also smeared a lot, thinking that so much money and good things had been taken away, she couldn't help but slam the account book on the table angrily, and said hatefully: "This must be a good thing done by Xue Mingyang, no wonder, the Xue family's treasury was emptied, so I only took five thousand taels of silver with me, and I didn't complain at all." In the blink of an eye, he had a hot fight with the young master of the Rong family. It doesn't seem to be spending less. ”

"No, I don't think Xue Mingyang did this." Yu Shanna groaned and said, "Open the secrecy of our matter, and no one knows until the incident." Why did Xue Mingyang take such a big risk to take the things in the warehouse? At the beginning, your father had already said that it was all his, and he didn't have to. Later, he went back to Xue's house and stayed for most of the day, and he couldn't have this opportunity in that half a day. ”

"What my mother said also makes sense." Xue Mingsheng thought about it: "It's not him, who else?" If this treasury is to be, it will start with my father. It was given to him immediately and then to the old lady. There's no one else......"

The Xue family has always been safe, and it is impossible for someone to steal it. Besides, how can a person who steals things be so calm and thoughtful? Stole. Will also draw the ledger page by page?

Yu Shanna's face sank: "If my guess is right, this thing should be done by the old lady." ”

Poor Mrs. Xue has been trying to follow Chu Lingfeng's comfort these days, she should eat, drink, sleep, and not think about these troublesome things. But I didn't do anything or carried the black cauldron, and I was about to usher in a storm.

And Chu Lingfeng. Because Yu Shanna's mother and son really didn't expect her to have such a big courage and such a fast thing, but they thought about it one by one, and they didn't think about her head.

"Old lady?" Xue Mingsheng hesitated a little: "No, the old lady secretly took the money from the treasury, what's the point?" Can she still use it to subsidize her mother's family? The family's money, can she still be without her when she wants to use it? ”

"You stupid boy." Yu Shanna sighed with hatred: "The old lady didn't take the money to subsidize her mother's family, but to subsidize Xue Mingyang." ”

Yu Shanna knew that she had not been able to please Mrs. Xue over the years, and although she was her own grandson, she was not a grandson to Xue Mingsheng. Especially after Chu Lingfeng entered the door, Old Lady Xue seemed to be better for Xue Mingyang all of a sudden, and even worse for herself and Xue Mingsheng.

Once the elders are eccentric, it is quite terrifying, Yu Shanna judged according to her own experience, although the old lady Xue opposed Xue Lang's decision, let Xue Mingsheng hand over the family's business to Xue Mingyang. But the matter of taking money from the treasury to subsidize the eldest grandson must be done.

And the key to the warehouse has been kept by Mrs. Xue from yesterday to this morning, it is not easy for her to do something, no matter who sees it, dare to stop her and say no?

At that moment, Yu Shanna suddenly had a feeling of anger and blood, and slapped the table: "That old lady, I don't know what to do when I'm old, it's time to come, I don't know how to please us, and I still eat inside and outside to subsidize Xue Mingyang." Today, I must let her know who is the person in charge of this Xue family? She wants to continue to live the comfortable life of her ancestors, eat and drink well, and have someone to serve her, who to help. ”

Xue Mingsheng was startled when he heard that Yu Shanna looked like she was going to settle accounts with Mrs. Xue, and after thinking about it, he also felt that the old lady had gone too far. hesitated and said: "Mother, the old lady is an old lady after all, and I was in charge just now, you should pay attention to what you say, so as not to ask someone to take the handle, and it is not good to gossip behind your back." ”

"I know, don't worry, I won't let you have a reputation for being unfilial." Yu Shanna took a deep breath, put down the account book, straightened her clothes, and said, "There are still many things outside, you go out to get busy, the old lady will leave it to me." ”

Yu Shanna used to rely on Xue Lang's favor, relying on her son to be the head of the family in the future, so she didn't take the old lady very seriously. Now that Xue Mingsheng is in charge of the family business, she is even more arrogant, and she doesn't care about anyone anymore, even if she wants to be gentle, she also casts a kind of arrogance from her bones.
