Chapter 5: Get Back the Dowry
"Liar? Where do you start? Since I was a child, my mother taught me not to deceive people. ”
Her voice was lazy, and her words sounded like a child, which added fuel to the fire of Gui Ya: Sure enough, she was pretending to be ruthless last night!
Seeing that the person jumped in front of him in three or two steps, Yue Zhanyan made a look and motioned to Lin Cui to leave it alone, staring at Gui Ya who jumped to him in three or two steps, and did not retreat, but smiled: "What's the matter, Sister Gui Ya?" ”
What else could have happened?
In the past, she was stupid, she really had no concept of money, and the dowry was not much, so she entered the account room as soon as she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although this marriage was used to humiliate Jing Hanyu, Jing Hanyu never treated her harshly, and she used a lot of food, all of which were sent by someone in person.
In addition to never having a room with her, it is rare to see people who are unexpected, and they are impeccable.
Therefore, after these dowries were moved into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they did not come in handy at all.
But today, she went to the bookkeeper to take stock of the new dowry, and by the way, she asked what she had brought before, but found that someone had taken it all in her name.
Not to mention gold and silver, not even cloth is left.
Besides, a few months after entering the house, Jing Hanyu sent someone to send a lot of new satin for her to use to make clothes, but she didn't even see a shadow of the new clothes.
Thinking about it, it was impossible for Lincui to do such a thing.
Looking at Guiya, who was dressed in exquisite fabrics, Yue Zhanyan had a headache: I really didn't take her in my eyes at all? Even a little bit will do!
"Madam, it seems that you really don't take me as a big girl seriously? Other people's wives and young ladies explain everything clearly to the big girl, so that they can do things in the future. It's good that you actually hid so much dowry from me, why, are you afraid that I won't be able to steal it? ”
So what's not?
Listening to her righteous and stern tone with a little interrogation, Yue Zhanyan almost laughed, and it took some effort to hold back.
"Sister Guiya, what are you talking about? Rao'er doesn't understand! "Fool, you don't even need to pretend to be stupid:"It's just that Rao'er asked Mr. Bookkeeper to come over today, and I'm going to come here, what do you see written on it?" ”
After all, the Xiangfu is the Xiangfu, from the gold and silver treasures to the silver needles and threads, as long as they are taken from the account room, they will be recorded, and those taken by Guiya in the past are no exception.
She smiled straightforwardly, but Gui Ya stared at her, a little embarrassed.
Almost every expenditure on Xiyuan in the ledger was taken by Gui Ya.
Seeing her face for a moment, Yue Zhanyan stood up with a smile and grabbed Gui Ya's clothes: "Ah, Sister Gui Ya's clothes are so beautiful, and the materials used are so familiar......
made his own clothes with the master's things, even if the master is a fool, once the master knows about it......
Lin Cui got Yue Zhanyan's eyes at this time, and she also cleared her throat, and said word by word: "Sister Guiya, if I remember correctly, your clothes are in my wife's dowry, right?" Hey, don't be in a hurry to deny it, it's all recorded. ”
The bookkeeper on the side was not stupid, how could he not hear the twists and turns, but he also knew that Yue Zhanyan was a fool, and he was too lazy to defend it.
Yue Zhanyan understood the psychology of Mr. Ledger, so he had already taught the next sentence to Lincui: "Although my wife is a little dull-brained, Xiangye really doesn't like to come to our West Garden." But in any case, Mrs. Xiangfu's head is also the name of Mrs. Xiangfu, how does Xiangye think Mrs. doesn't matter, but if outsiders know that Mrs. was bullied by a maid after entering the house, will they say that our Xiangye has no way to discipline people, and he can't even protect his own wife? ”
After Lincui finished speaking, Yue Zhanyan glanced at Mr. Bookkeeper, whose face was slightly loose, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Very good, that's it.
"Oh, Miss Guiya, it turns out that you came to me to ask for these things before and didn't get the meaning of Madame? Then you've broken the rules of deception. The bookkeeper twisted his beard and said it lightly, which made Gui Ya's body tremble.
"Only, no! These things were given to me by Madame! She panicked, and hurriedly pulled her clothes back from Yue Zhanyan's hand, but her voice was so small that she had no confidence.
Yue Zhanyan laughed deliciously: "I have what I mean, why don't I know?" ”
This time Gui Ya is completely messed up: is she stupid or not?
"This ......"
Seeing that Gui Ya couldn't quibble, Lin Cui took out a deed of sale from her sleeve according to what she had taught in the month, which was Gui Ya's.
"Sister Guiya, in the past, my wife Kuanren, I didn't see what you did. In the past two days, I feel that it is inappropriate, I have watched my wife grow up, and I can't let people bully her like this. As she spoke, Lincui deliberately took the deed of sale to Gui Ya and dangled it, frightening the latter's pale.
"Miss Lincui, just talk, what are you doing with my deed of sale?"
Yue Zhanyan was happy to see the excitement, sat back in front of the stone table and continued to eat pastries: I didn't expect Lincui to be quite presentable.
"You've embezzled so much gold, silver, and cloth in private, and you're sure you won't be able to pay it back. As the maid of Xiyuan, you are naturally my wife's person. So I came up with an idea to sell you to the Qinglou to fill these vacancies. ”
Poof!
As soon as Lincui's words were finished, Gui Ya knelt down suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, she cried bitterly and looked very sincere: "Madam! The slave knows that she is wrong! Don't! ”
I don't know how many times better it is to be in the Xiangfu than the Qinglou, but unfortunately some people just don't know how to cherish it.
Yue Zhanyan didn't feel distressed when she saw her kowtowing, she was eating pastries with a smile, making people think that she was still the fool who didn't understand anything.
"If you don't want to go to the Qinglou, you have to pay back."
Bullied her before? It's okay, just get out after you're scared.
A little more excessive? It's okay, just a tooth for a tooth.
But embezzle her money? No, no, absolutely not!
"I'll give you a month to give me back the money you owe, or I'll find a way to squeeze money out of you on my own!"
Yue Zhanyan clapped her hands, took her small pastry and left Xiyuan, not caring about Gui Ya, who was kneeling on the ground and crying into tears.
As soon as she came out of Xiyuan, she couldn't help but take out the silver ticket title deed with one hand and count it with the other, and smiled so hard that she couldn't open her eyes: "It's not enough, it's not enough, this money is far from enough." ”
"What do you want so much money for?"
Counting the money was too engrossed, and suddenly she heard a cold voice like a breeze, she didn't come back to her senses, and subconsciously replied: "Prepare for my father-in-law's rebellion!" ”
