As soon as Shen Qingwan returned to the house, he was invited by the girl next to the old lady, and it was very rare to step into Rongle Hall, it was not the time to ask for peace, but the family arrived very well, even Ye Shangshu, who was busy with affairs, was not absent, gloomy, and even sat under the old lady and stared at Shen Qingwan who had just entered the door. Shen Yijia was snuggling in Liu's arms and crying, her watery eyes were red from crying, and she couldn't help but look weak.

"Late my son said hello to my grandmother and my father. I've seen the second aunt and all the aunts......"

"Daughter, don't kneel yet!" Before Shen Qingwan finished speaking, the teacup in Shen Cheng's hand smashed into Shen Qingwan's feet with a snap, and he roared loudly.

Shen Qingwan was silent for a moment, took a step back to the side very calmly and said, "I don't know what my daughter has done wrong, and I ask my father to make it clear." ”

Seeing that she didn't want to admit her mistake at all, Ye Shangshu was about to be angry again, and the old lady on the side coughed and interrupted his anger and said: "Evening, today in Shen Dexuan, you lost your manners in front of King Qin, if it spreads, it doesn't hurt that others will still be the goddaughter of our Shen family." Looking back and waiting for the day when your second sister returns from the wedding, you go to His Royal Highness King Qin to accompany him. You're just staying in your own yard these days. ”

Shen Qingwan glanced at Liu, who was hugging Shen Yijia's lips with a hint of a smile, raised her head and looked at the old lady blankly and said, "Grandmother forgives you." Since the grandmother said that Wan'er was wrong, it must be that Wan'er did something wrong, but Wan'er was stupid and still didn't know what was wrong. I also asked my grandmother for advice. ”

The old lady was stunned, looking at Shen Qingwan with a blank face and speechless.

Liu helped Shen Yijia to sit down, got up and walked to Shen Qingwan and said with a kind smile: "Wan'er, the prince is today's own son, you make the prince unhappy today, if the prince blames us, no one in our family can afford it." Admit your mistakes to the old lady and the old man, and we won't blame you. ”

Shen Qingwan blinked, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, the puzzled look on her face became even stronger, "Make the prince angry?" But Wan'er didn't have much to do with the prince. The prince wanted to buy Jade Guanyin, but he didn't have enough silver on his body, and he also asked people to take things for the prince to take away, and he didn't deliberately leave it difficult. How could the prince be angry? Don't...... Could it be that there is any flaw in that Jade Guanyin? ”

Everyone was speechless, and Aunt Zhao on the side snorted, covered her lips and said with a low smile, "Sixth Miss, what does the second aunt mean...... How can you collect the prince's money? "King Qin went to buy things but didn't bring any silver, who would believe it? It's clear that he didn't prepare to give the silver at all, but he was caught by Shen Qingwan's words, and even the things he usually took had to make up for the silver taels, can you not be angry?

"Aunt Zhao, what are these words, how can the prince care about this little money? Let alone...... Shen Dexuan is open to do business. Don't say it's the prince, even the emperor doesn't have a reason not to give money, right? Shen Qingwan said in surprise.

Aunt Zhao was not angry, and chuckled: "What Miss Sixth said is true. Even if you buy in the palace, you have to pay money. If you don't pay for it...... Who's still in business? ”

"Shut up! What nonsense! Ye Shangshu glanced angrily at the concubine who had just entered the door and was being favored, and Aunt Zhao blinked her eyes and said no more.

Shen Qingwan's face suddenly realized, and she turned to the Liu family and said, "Could it be that the prince is really angry about this matter?" Could it be ...... All the merchants in this capital never accept the prince's silver? If so, it's really too late to do something wrong. Grandmother and father are relieved. When he turned around, he ordered someone to send the silver taels back, and the other three thousand taels should be to make amends to the prince. ”

Liu hurriedly pulled it, and there were words of suffering in his heart. If Shen Qingwan is really allowed to do this, I am afraid that the reputation of the prince who never gives money to buy things in the capital will spread all over the world.

Shen Qing didn't care about Liu's face later, and said to the old lady with some worry and grievance, "If that's the case, this Shen Dexuan and these shops should have closed earlier." ”

Ye Shangshu said with a cold face, "Shen Dexuan is your dowry, what are you going to do." ”

Shen Qingwan frowned and said, "But... This Shen Dexuan's monthly surplus is less than 1,000 taels, and every time the prince comes to see more than 3,000 taels. If the prince comes once a month......"

Hearing this, the old lady and Ye Shangshu were stunned, and couldn't help but look at Liu. Shen Dexuan is one of the most antique shops in the capital, how can the monthly surplus be less than 1,000 taels? And this King Qin is really, a dignified prince, once in a while he goes to the store to get something, and often goes to get something like something. Even the emperor didn't often take things from his courtiers for nothing.

Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak, and his face began to turn a little pale. The old lady stared at Liu and said in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" "You must know that the income of Gu Yangxi's dowry shop over the years has been attributed to the government, if someone makes a hindrance from it, it is equivalent to greedy for the silver of the prime minister's house. When Gu Yangxi was still seriously ill, the old lady was also in charge of the family for a while, and naturally knew that Shen Dexuan was one of the two most profitable shops in Aunt Ye's marriage, and the monthly surplus was at least more than three thousand taels.

Liu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Back to the old lady, these two years...... Maybe it's not a good business...... "How dare he say that all the money went into her own private treasury."

Shen Qingwan saluted the old lady and said quietly, "The second aunt is busy with the affairs of the house all day long, how can she know about the outside affairs." The old lady didn't know that our family was suffering from the people below. In the past few days, I have carefully checked the accounts of various shops, taking Shen Dexuan as an example, in fact, the annual surplus is at least more than 30,000 taels, but since three years ago, it has been handed over to the government every year less than 10,000 taels. More than half of them were swallowed up by the stewards below. Originally, my mother confessed before her death that these twelve shops could make a profit of at least twenty-five taels as long as they made profits before they got married. In addition to the flowers in the house, she is also the mother-in-law of the sisters and younger brothers in the house, so she naturally has to add makeup to the sisters. I didn't expect ...... Now my mother's hard work has been in vain. In the past few years, less than 100,000 taels of silver have been handed over to the house. This is the account book, please grandmother look at it. ”

This time, not only Ye Shangshu and the old lady, but even the faces of the other young ladies and aunts changed. Hundreds of thousands of taels disappeared out of thin air, and there was also a dowry for his daughter, and the hall immediately quarreled, "Master, old lady, Mrs. Ren is still thinking about us sisters and concubines, and the master must punish those things that kill a thousand knives." ”

"That's it, it's really a black-hearted liver, and he even dares to be greedy for the money in our house."

"See for yourself the good things you do!"

The old lady threw the account book at Liu's feet with a gloomy face, Liu never thought that she was going to punish Shen Qingwan, why did Shen Qingwan pull the matter on herself in a few words. Holding the account book, the more she flipped back, the more her second aunt's hand trembled. I hated myself for underestimating this girl in the past, and I had never taught her to manage the power of the family, but I couldn't hide the slightest trace from her in this account book. Even the secret account in the store has been turned out, and it is obvious that the means of manipulating people are not ordinary, "Old lady...... Master, the concubine is ......"

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "No wonder you asked you to do the dowry, you said that the house can't take out the money, and the emotional money is taken back to your mother's house?" ”

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law is wronged. It's all the people below who are greedy, and the daughter-in-law doesn't know these ...... at all."

"Don't know? I don't know that your cousin is the shopkeeper in Shen Dexuan? I don't know if you changed the shopkeeper of several shops in a hurry? The old lady stared at Liu, the old lady has been for this family all her life, and what she hates most is that Liu takes the Shen family's money to subsidize her mother's family, which is something that no mother-in-law can tolerate, not to mention that Liu's is not married to Ming Media, but just a side room, "Night girl, where are those things that eat inside and outside?" ”

Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes and replied respectfully: "Wan'er took it upon herself to take those people into custody. Those who signed the deed of sale each made ten boards, and the external ones were ready to be sent to the government. ”

The old lady frowned and said, "You girl is still too soft-hearted." What can ten boards do? Let people bring Shen Dexuan and the treasurer of the treasure pavilion up. "Shen Dexuan and Zang Zhen Ge, an antique and a jewelry, are the most profitable of the twelve stores, accounting for almost half of all income.

After a while, several people who had been tied up were dragged in. As soon as the shopkeeper Liu saw Liu, he wailed, "Sister, brother-in-law, help......" Ye Shangshu glared at Liu with a blue face, and did not speak. Liu was angry and angry, and said repeatedly: "Presumptuous, don't let go of your uncle soon!" ”

Shen Qingwan smiled apologetically, "It turns out that it is really the uncle of the Liu family, and it should be a joke made by the fourth sister at night." Although the Liu family is not everyone, there are many people who are officials in the court, how can they be the treasurer of Shen Dexuan. But...... Shen Dexuan's master and his companions sued Liu for a few years before and after, and they were greedy for more than 80,000 taels of Shen Dexuan's silver. I don't know ......."

"This must be slandered by those villains. How could my cousin be greedy for ink and silver? Liu said categorically.

Shen Qingwan looked at the old lady and did not refute, and said, "Since the second aunt is willing to guarantee for Shopkeeper Liu, how dare Wan'er not believe it?" After a while, I asked Shopkeeper Liu and Shen Dexuan's master and men to go to the capital Mansion Yin to confront them face to face. ”

Liu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "It's just a little thing, where is the need to trouble the capital mansion Yin?" "The newly appointed Yin Qinmu of the capital government is known as the iron-faced judge, where can he get good in his hands.

Shen Qingwan smiled at Liu comfortingly: "Second aunt, don't worry, if you really wronged your uncle, Wan'er will naturally kowtow to your uncle in person to apologize." Come on, pull out this eater's stuff and hit fifty boards! As soon as he turned around, Shen Qingwan pointed to the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion who was lying on the side and said coldly.

The shopkeeper who had just been hit by the top ten boards not long ago suddenly turned pale like dirt, "Miss Six, spare your life!" Miss Six... Second aunt, help......" Liu did not speak with a dark face.

The old lady's old eyes twitched slightly, and she ordered lightly: "Do as Miss Six instructs." Looking at Shen Qingwan's gaze was a little more meaningful, Shen Qingwan naturally knew that the old lady was looking at herself, and she didn't care, she stared at the shopkeeper coldly, "You are different from Shopkeeper Liu, you are a slave who sold yourself to the Gu family to marry my mother." When your mother was alive, she treated you well, and you dared to betray the Lord like this in just a few years. Even if you are killed, no one will dare to say a word! Hit me hard! ”
