Chapter 46: Disappointed
After Bai Yuying answered her mother-in-law's question, she took a few big girls around her and began to look through the account books provided by Mrs. Bai, and the more she looked, the more she knew in her heart.
Mrs. Li was sitting on pins and needles, and she really wanted to go down and see what was written in which ledger? However, at this time, her reason told her that she must be calm, this account book is likely to be her real account, although she is also strange, it was obviously destroyed by her own hands, why is it still here? However, strange is strange, you must be calm, in case it is really the real account, you can't admit it at this time, as long as you don't admit it, they can't do it.
So, Mrs. Li made up her mind and remained motionless.
But the more Mrs. Li looked at it, the more angry she became, and in the end, she directly threw the two account books in front of Mrs. Li. Old Madam Li said sharply: "Second family, look at it, what does this mean?" Where did you get all the money in the house? Have you hidden all your companions? ”
Mrs. Li picked up the ledger and looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, this was her ledger, but it couldn't be said to be her ledger. Because her account book has long been burned by her, this is a copy of her account book.
The time, place, and records in it are very detailed, and when compared with the fake accounts, you can immediately see the problem. This is really ironclad. In this way, his account book must have been copied by Madame Bai. So who betrayed himself?
Think about the scene of the third family's extravagant scene every time they come to the house, and give it to their subordinates with red gold bracelets, red gold ear digging. Red gold rings and stuff like that. It's normal to be able to buy people's hearts. It's not surprising that there is money to make the devil grind, and it is not surprising that he can get this.
It's just that Mrs. Li began to calculate in her heart, who betrayed her, this person must be found out, or she will be unlucky in the future.
Thinking in her heart, Mrs. Li's face was calm: "Mother, don't be angry, this account book is really cleverly done." It's completely compared to my ledger. But I'm actually losing money on my books. But there was a lot of silver left in the ledger. My daughter-in-law didn't understand what was going on, but she knew that what was written in my account book was not my handwriting, nor was it the handwriting of the people around me. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. Is there someone who is scheming against me? ”
"According to this ledger, I should have been greedy for a lot of silver, why haven't I seen this money? I have a count of the things in my room. There are accounts to check, where is the extra money? The money is real, but there is a lot of money there, where is it? ”
Saying this, Mrs. Li was a little puzzled.
Bai Yuying held an account book and said: "Second aunt, you are really good at financial management, it turns out that you also bought land shops overseas, but those land shops use the names of the relatives of the second aunt to accompany the house, and they also bring income to the second aunt every month?" That's a lot. Oh, by the way, there are also a lot of shops in Shanghai City, and the location in the field is not bad. It's another person's name, but why is this monthly income here for the second aunt? ”
"Nothing? The key is this, the second aunt has been lending usury for so many years, no wonder there are always servants in the house who tell me that sometimes the monthly money is not paid for several months, and when it is sent later, they are all paid together. It turned out that the second aunt took it to a loan shark? ”
"It's a great way to make money. Anyway, the monthly money of the people in the house is not less, but it is only a few months late, and the people in the house are not aggrieved, and the second aunt has made money. ”
"Loan sharks alone are enough. There is also a way to make money here, it turns out that the second aunt has a relationship with officials from other provinces, and they pay a lot of filial piety every year. It's no wonder that such a large sum of money is made. By the way, there is still money from the royal bank's filial piety, why is the relationship between their mother and our mother not good, but their family sends silver to the second aunt? ”
Everyone listened to these words, and the more they listened to them, the heavier the frost on their faces became, and when it came to the last few words, everyone's eyes would be able to erupt with fire.
Mrs. Li was a little overwhelmed and said, "Daughter-in-law Qi, you can't talk nonsense. ”
Bai Yuying said: "This is all written in this account book. ”
After speaking, Bai Yuying respectfully presented the account book to Old Madam Li's hands.
Mrs. Li took it, took a general look, and suddenly trembled with anger.
Mrs. Li couldn't stand it anymore, so she knelt down beside Mrs. Li and said, "Mother, don't you listen to this, this account book is fake, where do I have these properties?" How could I have a relationship with someone from Royal Bank? ”
Mrs. Li asked angrily: "You don't have it, what's the matter that you don't have this account book?" Aren't you afraid of checking? Well, everything in this ledger is real. There are also some shops in the capital. I sent someone over and asked, whose shop is it? ”
Mrs. Li knew something bad as soon as she heard it, so she could only lower her head and cry, at this time, it was too late to say anything. As Mrs. Li said. These things are dead and can't be moved, as long as you send someone to check it, you can understand.
Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Li, "Aren't you Qinggao? Aren't you a housekeeper and hard? You moved all the money away, leaving a mess for our big house, why is your heart so vicious? ”
Mrs. Li didn't say anything, just sat there and cried.
Chen Yuanfeng frowned and looked at Chen Yuanluan. Chen Yuanluan scolded Mrs. Li in his heart. This loser's. Even if you don't have power, you can't even be a rich man?
Mrs. Li looked at it for a while, her eyes were dizzy with anger, and she understood in her heart that her niece was not only so simple as embezzling the family's money, but also greedy if she was greedy, and it was nothing.
Although there is no money on the books, Mrs. Li is not worried, anyway, those real estate can't really be lost, and they are still making good money there? With these golden roosters that can lay eggs, are you afraid that there will be no golden eggs? As for the current loss, the boss is not without a family background. In recent years, the old family has also invested in Nanyang and has some money, which should be able to settle the account. It's a big deal, just take out your own money and subsidize it.
However, what made Mrs. Li angry was that Mrs. Li ate inside and out, knowing that the enemies of the Chen family now were the Bai family, and the palace concubines who wanted to grab the queen's position in the harem? For example, the bank Wang's family. How could Mrs. Li take their money? They can be so kind to give money to the second room for nothing, it must be what benefits the second room has given them, what benefits can it be? It must be something that harms the queen's mother.
Ignorant of the general situation like this, Mrs. Li was disappointed for a while, her most beloved second son, her favorite niece and daughter-in-law, had failed her trust like this, which was really annoying.
Mrs. Li glared, pointed at the crying Mrs. Li, and wanted to scold, but felt a shortness of breath, the world was spinning, and then she passed out.
As soon as Mrs. Li fell into a coma like this, the whole hall suddenly became a mess, Chen Yuanfang, Chen Yuanru's bitter shouts, Bai's voice calling the doctor, Mrs. Wang's voice scolding Mrs. Li, Chen Yuanfeng shouted angrily, and the sound of closing his mouth sounded together.
The Chen family's division ended like this. Mrs. Li has been bedridden since then, sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake. Everyone began to take turns to serve the sick again.
Bai Shi was anxious on his face, but he was smiling in his heart. This mother-in-law has bullied herself for so many years, and she has harmed herself and Wen Hui together with Mrs. Li.
Not long after, Mrs. Li died.
Before he died, the second room had already moved out and did not live in the ancestral house. As for the silver loss on the books, the second room did not take out a cent, and he denied it vigorously.
When Mrs. Li was sober, she was even more angry when she heard such news. She took advantage of her sobriety to invite the head of the Li family to come over, as well as Mama Yu, and her two daughters to come over, and let her companion make an account of her property, and all the silver industry was given to the big house, as for jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and antiques, they were divided among the three daughters, of which the Queen Mother also shared. There is only a second room, there is nothing, Chen Yuanluan's face turned green angrily, and he hated his wife even more.
Mrs. Wang was originally very unhappy about the loss situation in her family. However, I can still afford to accompany my family. After handing over the family's property to Bai Yuying to take care of, Bai Yuying was also a capable person, and replaced the hands of the second lady in the Zhuangzi, shop, and industry with capable people, and took out all the money that Chen Wenqi had earned in Nanyang in the past few years to level the accounts, so that he cleaned it up again, and it didn't take long for him to start making money.
Now that Mrs. Li has died, she has given all her property to the big house. Mrs. Li is very well-founded. Back then, she was the daughter of the Li family, and her marriage was also ten miles of red makeup, and later became the patriarch of the Chen family.
Now, these are all owned by the big house, and they are designated for Chen Wenqi. This can not make Bai Yuying happy, and all the money that was invested in the family industry to settle the accounts has returned.
Chen Yuanfeng was very angry with Mrs. Li, lost a bad reputation in vain, took advantage of the family, and lost the dowry that originally belonged to his mother, and lost more than 300,000 taels of silver at once. Naturally, he complained deeply about Mrs. Li.
The Chen family's mansion is full of trouble, and once again for the funeral, Chen Yuanheng and his wife also came to help every day. Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin were originally going back, but when they encountered the funeral of their grandmother, they could only delay it and wait until Mrs. Li's funeral was over before going back.
At this time, Mrs. Bai suddenly called everyone in the family over, and said to everyone with the letter in her hand: "Wen Hui has given birth and has given birth to a son." ”
The whole family rejoiced. (To be continued......)
