Anya Sheng's courtesy, but people only remember Jinsu. Such a shame, how can Jin Yan and An Yasheng, who have always been competitive, swallow it. Originally, I planned to return home after the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, but now I and Jinsu are almost back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jin Su sent the old lady back to Hanlian Courtyard, and then heard Mama Qi say that Aunt Wang came back with the housekeeper in the morning, and she had already gone back to Yangwu Courtyard to rest. He also said that although all the silver coins on the Zhuangzi were not recovered, there were as many as half of them, and there was no lack of admiration for Aunt Wang in his words.

Jin Yan probably got the news, and on the way back to Hanlian Courtyard for Jinsu, he happened to meet Mama Zhan who was taking Aunt Wang to Guihe Courtyard with a menacing attitude, followed by An Xiayu who looked panicked.

Jin Su instructed Bai Zhi to send Jiao Wei back to Hanlian Courtyard first, and then invite the housekeeper and father to come, and he took Bai Qi to follow.

Mama Zhan didn't know if Jin Su was not far away, or if she was the same as before, scolding mercilessly.

When they arrived at the Rosewood Courtyard, Mama Zhan threw Aunt Wang on the ground, An Xiayu hurriedly ran over to pick her up, and the mother and daughter snuggled up to each other aggrievedly.

"Aunt Wang, why is it that only half of the two Zhuangzi you went to collect rent were in the account?" Mama Han, who was beside Princess Jinyan, asked sternly.

At this time, Jinsu had already arrived at the gate of the Rosewood Courtyard, but she had no intention of going in immediately, so she came uninvited, except to add fuel to the fire, there was no other use.

"Princess, princess, it's the concubine who is incompetent, it's the concubine who is incompetent, how the princess wants to punish her, the concubine will admit it." Aunt Wang pleaded.

"I'm afraid it's not that you're incompetent, it's that you're filling your pockets!" Jin Yan said angrily.

"No, no, no, there is no thing, the concubine body does not dare, the concubine body does not dare!"

"Humph! I think you're so bold! ”

An Xiayu crawled in front of Aunt Wang and cried, "Mother, my aunt went to collect rent, and the housekeeper also followed, if there is anything unclear in the accounts, you can call the discipline to come and ask." ”

"Smack!" Mama Zhan even rewarded An Xiayu with two slaps and warned, "Second Miss, the princess hasn't asked you now, and she doesn't understand the rules?" ”

"Humph! I look at your mother and daughter, and now I think that someone is supporting you, and you are getting more and more bold. There is less and less of me as a princess in my eyes! Jin Yan scolded.

Aunt Wang sobbed, and An Xiayu covered her face and glared at Mama Zhan hatefully, but she didn't dare to speak.

Jin Su saw the housekeeper and his father walking towards him from a distance, so he took Bai Qi into the Rosewood Courtyard, pretending to be fine, and asked, "What's the matter?" Princess, what made you so angry? Do you know that moving qi hurts the liver, let's eliminate it first! ”

Mama Zhan saw Jinsu come in, and unconsciously leaned over to Mama Han, after all, she was a person who had been taught, and this vigilance was still there.

Jin Yan snorted coldly and said, "Yo! Who should I be, isn't this the lord of Anping? Why, now that you have been rewarded by the emperor, don't you know that the elders and young are in order? Can anyone interject when they speak? ”

Jin Su saw the salute casually, and said lightly, "What is the princess talking about, Su Er naturally knows that the house wants to respect you." Su'er didn't mean to contradict you, but when she passed by, she heard a terrible shout from inside, so she came in to have a look. It's good to come in and see it, otherwise people who don't know outside will think that the princess has set up a private court inside. ”

After all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and most of the mansions have passed through Jin Yan**, so Jin Su said this, Jin Yan did not have the slightest worry or fear, and still said confidently, "Hmph, private court?" It's just a matter of asking about the house, and I'm afraid no one will put such a hat on my head except you. ”

"Su'er is also for the sake of your reputation princess, and she is kind enough to remind you. Since the princess is asking about the house, I wonder if Su'er can stay and observe? Jin Su asked politely.

"Hmph, you wouldn't be naïve enough to think you could help them, would you?" Jin Yan asked contemptuously.

Looking at the expectant little eyes of An Xiayu and Aunt Wang at this time, Jin Su had no choice but to shake her head helplessly, and said regretfully, "Su Er still doesn't know what happened, and she really doesn't know how to help." ”

"Wang, tell me, what's the matter? Let's see if our Anping county lord can help? Jinyan asked in a raised voice.

Aunt Wang did not explain to Jin Su for help, but continued to beg Jin Yan, "Princess, it is true that the concubine is incompetent and cannot take back all the rent, you have to be punished, and the concubine will admit it; But you must not frame the innocence of the concubine! ”

"Huh, innocence? You Yangwu Courtyard, you haven't received the moon silver for a long time, the new quilt in the room, the new clothes on the body, are they all innocent? Jin Yan asked.

Aunt Wang hesitated a little, not knowing whether to say it or not, and An Xiayu also gritted her teeth pitifully and did not say a word.

The matter couldn't be clearer, when Jin Yan asked Aunt Wang to collect the rent, he had already expected that she would not be able to take back all the rent, as long as this was the case, then today's scene could not be avoided no matter what. On the surface, it seems that she is embarrassing Aunt Wang, but in fact, she is pointing the finger at Jinsu, and she can't hide from it, so she has to bite the bullet.

"Princess, I may not know much about the things on the side, but I did send the new quilt and new clothes of Yangwu Courtyard twice, if you really want to misunderstand Aunt Wang because of this, then I am doing bad things with good intentions." Jin Su said calmly.

"Oh!?" Jin Yan pretended to be surprised, "You are really Sai Guanyin, you used to give porridge and medicine, but now in the house, you have a generous hand." Since you are already a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then I want to ask, where did all this money come from? If you are a doctor, walking in all directions, it is normal to have a little savings, but you can wave hundreds of hands, I'm afraid it's not simple! ”

Jin Yan said it well, if it was a simple doctor, then it was indeed impossible for her to accumulate so much silver, after all, it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver for only three days of soup porridge and medicine. Even in this huge prime minister's mansion, excluding the emperor's reward and his father's wealth, the rent of the major Zhuangzi is added together, and it does not exceed 50,000 taels of silver a year.

Of course, she couldn't say the true source of the silver, nor could she expose the business and wealth involved, so after thinking about it, she said leisurely, "It turns out that the princess suspects that Su'er's money is coming from an unknown source......

As soon as he was halfway through, An Heqing and the housekeeper came in, and when they saw Aunt Wang and An Xiayu who were kneeling on the ground crying like tears, they asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?" ”

Before Jin Yan could speak, Aunt Wang tugged at the corner of her father's clothes and said aggrievedly, "Master, the concubine is incompetent and can't recover all the rents of the two Zhuangzi, but the concubine is indeed not full of private pockets, and the housekeeper can testify for the concubine." ”

"Master, I just wanted to ask clearly," Jin Yan took in the tense expression when he talked to Jin Su just now.

An Heqing glanced at Jin Yan deeply, and then turned to ask the housekeeper, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper arched his hand and said unhurriedly, "Indeed, as Aunt Wang said, we only collected half of the rent on this trip. It is true that the old slave did not report to the princess in time, which caused a misunderstanding! ”

"How can it be only half?" An Heqing asked.

The head of the village said that their summer was flooded and the harvest was not good, and only half of the rent was pulled out from between the teeth, and he also said that they would have to borrow seeds for next year's spring ploughing. The old slave saw that they were pitiful, so he took half of the rent first, and came back first. ”

"Do they say you believe it? Those Diao people just don't want to pay rent, can't it be that those two Zhuangzi suffered disasters, and those Zhuangzi who went to Sanxian did not suffer disasters? How could she take it back? Jin Yan said.

"Yes, it's the old slave who is incompetent, and the old slave is soft-hearted, and he really doesn't want to see them sell their sons and daughters, so that's why ......" The housekeeper didn't finish speaking, but seemed to be a little choked, as if he had mentioned something sad.

An Heqing didn't ask any more questions, and patted the butler on the shoulder to show comfort.
