Chapter 6: Desire to add sin

Aunt Zhu spent too much money, and before the middle of the month, the month's flowers were all used up.

It's only August now, and she's already spent some of the month's silver in September.

The gold wire ring that Shen Mingyue gave to the old lady was sent to the jewelry store, and in order to please the old lady, she specially designated it to add two rubies to the gold wire ring. At present, only ten taels of deposit have been paid, and thirty taels have not been paid. If these thirty taels of silver are also spent, the flowers of the people in the Shen Mansion in September will be even more lacking.

Not to mention, the old lady's birthday is also in September, although there is no need to make a big deal, but it also has to spend a lot of money.

At present, there is a deficit everywhere, and Aunt Zhu is in a hurry. She thought about it all night, and finally came up with a solution.

On the second day, Shen Mingzhen got up, and saw Zisu's hurried voice: "Miss, wash up, Aunt Zhu took Mr. Accounts to Madame's room to make trouble." ”

Shen Mingzhen hurried over.

Mrs. Sun's courtyard was surrounded by water, and many servants were desperately looking in at the door.

Before Shen Mingzhen entered the door, she heard Aunt Zhu's scolding voice: "Tell me about you, how many times have you helped your unsuccessful younger brothers over the years." Over the years, the lord felt that your two younger brothers were pitiful, and you used your own dowry silver, so the lord didn't say anything. But how dare you...... How dare you use the money in the old man's mansion to help your two younger brothers. It's just that you take in the help, why even the account books of the house have been changed, you are really hypocritical. ”

Aunt Zhu stared at Mrs. Sun, as if the harder she scolded, it proved that Mrs. Sun had really done something wrong.

Shen Mingzhen entered the door and saw the account book brought back by Aunt Zhu.

The ledger was spread out on the coffee table, and no one opened it.

She walked over, took a rough look, and sneered: "How did my aunt find out that there was a problem with the ledger?" ”

"Of course, I told me the bookkeeper I hired."

"Really? Aunt Lao pointed out in detail. If it was my mother's fault, I would have sincerely apologized to my aunt and made up for the money my mother owed. ”

Aunt Zhu stopped talking, her eyes were aimed at Mr. Bookkeeper, and she quietly made a color.

The bookkeeper was not in a hurry and pointed out the problems in the ledger.

Shen Mingzhen didn't listen at all, the ledger was new, and the ink on the paper was also new, this was a forged ledger at all.

She stood up: "Remember here that my mother gave twenty taels of silver to her subordinates in May. I don't know who took the extra moon silver and raised his hand for me to see. ”

Not a single one raised their hand.

Shen Mingzhen looked at Aunt Zhu calmly.

Aunt Zhu's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "Maybe she swallowed it privately?" I don't care, your mother has spent more than 100 taels of silver in the house, and you must give me this amount today. ”

"But the account book provided by my aunt is clearly a brand new booklet."

The account book provided by Aunt Zhu is really too new, the account book is as white as jade, and even the footer is flattened, not at all like the account book that has been used for many years, this acting is too clumsy.

Mrs. Sun didn't speak all the time, and when she saw her daughter blocking Aunt Zhu speechless, she smiled with relief. She went into the back room, unlocked it, and came out with an old ledger.

"Over the years, in order not to make mistakes, I have kept two copies of each item in the house. Aunt Zhu might as well bring your account book, and let's compare one or two together. ”

How dare Aunt Zhu, her account book was made overnight by Mr. Accounts last night, how could she be embarrassed in front of Mrs. Sun. But the current deficit cannot be made up, and Mrs. Sun is acting on her side without leakage, how can this be good.

Aunt Zhu shook her head for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw that Zi Su had already picked up the account book behind her and put it on Mrs. Sun's table.

Two ledgers, one new and one old.

One is pine ink, and the other is ordinary black ink.

One is vigorous and powerful, and the other is scribbled.

Who is lying, even the illiterate subordinates can see it.

Aunt Zhu didn't know what to do, and was about to flee from Mrs. Sun's yard in discouragement, when she saw Master Shen coming over with a black face.

Aunt Zhu had an idea, and her body pounced on Master Shen softly.

"Sir, Mrs. bullies. The concubine just came to tell his wife, don't always use silver to help her two unsuccessful younger brothers, and the wife poured dirty water on the concubine's room, and the concubine was really wronged. ”

Aunt Zhu spoke softly, pouting and looking at Master Shen affectionately.

Master Shen didn't even look away for a while, he fixed his mind and glared at Mrs. Sun angrily: "Why are you bullying Qiaoyun again?" ”

Isn't it indiscriminate?

Shen Mingzhen handed the account book to Master Shen: "It's my aunt who is bullying my mother, and for this reason, she also deliberately forged the account book and came to my mother to cheat the silver." ”

"How can it be a lie?" Aunt Zhu took a bite back, "What does Mrs. Sun look like to always help the two brothers of the Sun family, right now Mrs. Sun still has a dowry to subsidize, if the dowry runs out one day, is it going to start using the silver of the Shen Mansion, how can the silver that the master has worked so hard to earn be subsidized to outsiders." ”

Aunt Zhu's eyes were as silky, she brought a cup of tea to Master Shen, and stood behind her to pinch his shoulders: "The concubine's room is for the sake of this mansion, master, it is better to ask Mrs. Sun to sort out her dowry and let the concubine keep it." ”

Master Shen almost didn't think about it: "You go and make a list of your dowry and give it to Qiaoyun." ”

Mrs. Sun didn't move, glanced at Master Shen, and wept silently: "Since the old man didn't let the concubine help his younger brother, the concubine has never helped his younger brother. The dowry of the concubine is her own property, even if the concubine is spent, it is not Aunt Zhu's turn to keep it on her behalf. ”

This makes sense, Master Shen didn't know how to refute it, snorted, and pulled Aunt Zhu away, but he didn't even investigate Aunt Zhu's fake account book.

Shen Mingzhen was a little angry for her mother, she helped her mother sit down, and secretly decided that she must study medicine hard and never let her mother suffer such grievances.
