Wang Ruzhen bit her lip and looked up at her husband, wanting him to help say a few good words, but who knows, Li Rao saw her pitiful appearance, not only did he ignore it, but ruthlessly twisted his head.

Wang Ruzhen was shocked, and her kneeling leg began to ache faintly, and she wanted to rub it, but she didn't dare to make a mistake.

Above her head, the old lady's words were like basins of cold water, splashing her whole body almost cold.

"The good daughter you raised actually got such a despicable disease, and went to the Yellow Crane Tower to make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and lost the face of our Li Mansion, but she hid it from us for so many years. You are powerful, I originally thought that the secrets spread outside here were all groundless, but I didn't think about it, but it was true, you said, you think I don't live enough, I can't live if you want to be angry and die? ”

As he spoke, he picked up the crutches leaning next to the chair and slammed them a few times on the back of Wang Ruzhen's hand.

Li Changqing sat next to him, only to hear a "muffled hum", and saw that beads of sweat the size of beans on Wang Ruzhen's forehead kept flowing down.

It seems that these few blows are either injured or disabled.

"After so many years, it seems that she can't compare to the daughter of the Ye family after all, thinking that Ye Rubing, although she doesn't understand the world, but she won't be like you, even Hong'er, who was almost killed by a dead girl some time ago, you don't care about it......"

The old lady reprimanded bitterly.

Because he was too angry and coughed a few times, Li Changqing hurriedly brought tea to the old lady with one hand, and soothed her back with the other.

This action made Mrs. Li satisfied with this granddaughter, and at this time, Wang Ruzhen inadvertently raised her head, and when she saw this scene, her expression changed greatly, this dead girl, when did she have eyes here?

After being relieved, he continued: "In the past two days, because I was busy with the affairs of the Yellow Crane Tower, I just didn't move, I didn't think that after Steward Liu checked the accounts last night, he showed me that there was a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver, you tell me, what is going on." ”

The old lady said, and went down with another crutch, and the painful bones were cracked, but Wang Ruzhen didn't dare to come out, but she was unwilling to suffer like this, so she said stiffly: "I don't know, Steward Liu must have miscalculated, I will bring it to the old lady here." ”

Wang Ruzhen really didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, she was on this job, and she didn't admit it.

Butler Liu, who had been instructed by the old lady to be in the side hall on the side, heard this, and walked out in time with the account book in his hand.

I saw that he was in his forties, with a square face and big ears, and he was in his forties, but he was full of energy, and the shrewdness between his eyebrows still couldn't escape Li Changqing's eyes.

"What did the second lady say?" Steward Liu first questioned Wang Ruzhen, and then picked up the account book in his hand and read it to everyone.

"Last year's summer harvest, tenants got 100 orders of grain, which is equivalent to 1,000 taels less money; Last year, the eldest prince was rewarded for meritorious service, and the emperor rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, but less than 100 taels of gold; Later, there was an old man who dealt with the flood rivers in the south, made suggestions, and got a lot of rewards, but the total amount was less than 10,000 silver. The old lady had her 68th birthday the year before last, and she received gifts from the members of the DPRK and the Central Committee and her wives, which was equivalent to more than 100,000 taels, but now, it is less than 30,000 taels ....... ”

Every time Steward Liu said something, the entire hall gasped.

The more she talked about the back, the darker Old Lady Li's face became, and the more Li Rao clenched her palms.

Old Mrs. Li asked with a calm face, "How many silver taels are missing in total?" ”

"Sixty-seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-three taels of silver." Steward Liu dutifully specified this amount to the last digit.

After speaking, he glanced at Li Changqing meaningfully.

"Whew......", the sound of everyone's exhalation, listening carefully, there was an urge to peel off her skin.

Your Wang Ruzhen's mother and daughter eat and drink spicy food, and it is okay to treat us with bad food and clothing on weekdays, but you are greedy for so much money, it is simply damned, damned, damned!

Several aunts next to her almost tried to teach her a lesson, and even a few people stopped eating, stood up, and surrounded her.

Old Mrs. Li's face almost turned purple, Li Changqing looked wrong, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said, "Grandma is angry, don't hurt your body for the sake of inconsequential people." ”

When Wang Ruzhen heard the words "irrelevant", her anger suddenly rushed to her head, and she didn't care about the pain in her hands, so she immediately stood up and pointed at Li Changqing and was about to scold.

How did Li Rao endure it again and again, he had already endured it to the limit, turned around, picked up his clenched fist and hit Wang Ruzhen's face.

This effort, but it was ruthless, wiped from the ear, and hit Wang Ruzhen's face, the thumb on her hand turned out to be a gold earring of hers, blood flowed down her neck, and her face was bruised and swollen.

"You slut, I didn't know that you were so greedy and insufficient, and you dared to take the money for your mother's birthday, and even the money that Changyong and I worked so hard to get together!"

Li Rao clearly remembered that time he went to disaster relief, in order to win the favor of the emperor, he fought hard, and he was almost not swept away by the flood, and he came back with palpitations for a long time before he recovered.

Last night, his mother mentioned Wang Ruzhen's matter, and he didn't take it seriously, but the main reason for chatting was to ask for the eldest daughter's ten thousand taels of gold.

Who knows, after listening to Steward Liu's words today, I feel more and more that I am that fool, being played with by a small concubine, which makes him, who has been the prime minister for many years, feel too annoyed and angry.

Therefore, this slap must be beaten! Otherwise, in the future, everyone in this house will step on his head and pee on him, and humiliate him behind his back.

Wang Ruzhen was frightened, if the old lady was angry, she could grind in front of the master, grind her ears and temples, work the bed, and blow the pillow wind, but now, even her dear husband has beaten her, and she is so ruthless, as if the king of Hades in hell wants to sentence her to death completely.

couldn't help but don't even dare to cry, just looked at him blankly, his eyes were full of tears, the bloodshot at the corner of his mouth fell, and the whole person was pitiful.

cautiously shouted: "Master." ”

Li Rao's chest was full of panic, and when he heard this soft and boneless voice, he trembled, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Li Changqing looked at the chagrin in Li Rao's eyes, and naturally he would not miss this opportunity.

"Auntie, this is a mistake, lost so many silver taels, Rao is father is tolerant of a lot, but where can this money make up for it?"

When Li Rao heard this, he glanced at his eldest daughter with complicated eyes, and the guilt in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

"It's all up to my mother, and I won't interfere in the affairs here!" After Li Rao finished speaking, he no longer looked at the woman who had followed him for many years, and turned around and left without looking back.
