"Since the Duchess has no opinion, let's talk about this family business!" Mrs. Taifu said. "There's a lot of commotion outside, so this matter can't be delayed."

"Yes." Duchess Ling Guo coughed twice and nodded. "I've also seen Miss Zhao, she's a good girl. Now it's like this, and it's not good for the reputation of the two children. Of course, the sooner they get married, the better, so that others can know that these two children are in love. ”

"The Duchess of the Kingdom can think like this, and the Lady Ben is also very happy. But I don't look good at you and the young lady's faces. I'm afraid that this family matter is powerless. Mrs. Taifu's gaze swept over the Jiang family next to her. Seeing Jiang's sick appearance, her eyebrows were full of displeasure.

Duchess Ling Guo looked at Chu Yuqin: "My body is not good. Your uncle's family affairs will be arranged by you. The Zhao family and our Lingguo Mansion were originally in-laws, but now they are even more intimate. Now Mrs. Taifu has personally said that she is married, which has given us enough face in the Lingguo Mansion. Don't make any mistakes. ”

"Uncle is the sister-in-law of the Ling Guo Mansion. When the son-in-law gets married, the pomp is naturally indispensable. Otherwise, how faceless? As a mother, she must have prepared a dowry a long time ago. Since the two families don't have any opinions, we just hire them directly. Chu Yuqin said.

Duchess Ling didn't feel anything when she first heard Chu Yuqin's words, but after careful reflection, she understood that this was intended to let her pay out of her own pocket to prepare the dowry.

Why?

Since the other children are all in the public account, why do you have to pay out of her own pocket when she comes to Jia'er? This woman is really wishful thinking. Think beautifully!

"Now you are in charge of the house. The first two sisters-in-law are married. You're not without a standard to measure. I guess it's not that hard for you. Duchess Ling Guo said, "You can make a list later." I'll help you interrogate. lest thou be young and ignorant, and thou shalt not know these rules. ”

Mrs. Taifu saw that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already discussing the dowry, and knew that her task was completed. She stood up and said, "If nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

"Mrs. Taifu can rest assured. Uncle is so sincere to Miss Zhao, he will never wronged her. Wait for us to count the dowry gifts, and immediately come to the Zhao Mansion to get hired, and then discuss a good day to get married. Chu Yuqin smiled. Let Mrs. Taifu work hard today. Yuqin personally sent Mrs. Taifu out. ”

"No need. Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should discuss the matter of hiring! This matter is not big or small. You can't slack off the Zhao family. Mrs. Taifu stood up.

Duchess Ling Guo said to Mama Fang next to her, "Send Mrs. Taifu out." ”

Mama Fang immediately walked out with Mrs. Taifu.

When Mrs. Taifu walked out, Chu Yuqin gestured to Zhu Xue next to her.

Zhu Xue understood what she meant, and took out the account book from her sleeve and put it in front of Duchess Ling Guo.

"Duchess of the Kingdom, please take a look."

Duchess Ling frowned: "What is this?" ”

"Didn't you just say that? This is the ledger of our house. Chu Yuqin said: "Mother can take a look at this account book to see if there is anything familiar." ”

Duchess Ling Guo took it and looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more displeased she became: "An inkstone costs a thousand taels of silver." An ancient book costs five hundred taels of silver...... Who took it? ”

"In the entire Lingguo Mansion, there don't seem to be many people who can take money casually like this. Mother really doesn't know who it is? Chu Yuqin sat opposite Duchess Ling Guo and looked at her.

Several figures flashed through Duchess Ling's mind.

Ling Shengzhi? No way. Two bedrooms and three bedrooms? It can't be either. It can't be Grandpa Guo or Ling Shengyi's, right? No, no, no, she didn't dare to have any objections to Grandpa Guo's account, she could afford Ling Shengyi's cheap seed as much as she wanted, and she wouldn't show it to her. So there's only one possibility......

"This is for Jia'er?"

Chu Yuqin smiled: "Mother is right. This is exactly the record of the silver taels withdrawn by the uncle. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Duchess Ling Guo said: "Even if Jia'er took it, do you need to show it to me?" ”

"Mother, my uncle withdrew 20,000 taels of silver in just two months. Do you think your father would be happy if he found out about it? Chu Yuqin looked at Duchess Ling Guo.

"So what? You gave it when he took it, and what's the use of telling me it now? Duchess Ling Guo had a cold face.

Chu Yuqin heard the meaning of her words.

What she meant was to say, 'He's eaten it all, do you expect him to spit it out?'"

"But when he withdrew it, he said that his mother would pay for it." Chu Yuqin said: "In order to increase the persuasiveness, I also put your deed shop against the account office." ”

"What?" Duchess Ling Guo sat up. "What did you say he did to my house and shop?"

"Uncle not only offset your shop and property to the account office in exchange for silver, but also dug out a lot of dowry from your private treasury to pawn and sell. I once asked, but my uncle said that you agreed to it, and I was not qualified to ask. By the way, the blood swallows you eat every day now are the silver that my uncle bought for selling one of your mansions. Otherwise, our house will not be able to withstand this daily meal. ”

Duchess Ling Guo was taking various nutritional supplements during her recuperation. In particular, the nourishing tonic of blood swallow is eaten every day.

Of course, she would never tell Duchess Ling Guo that it was not because of her son's filial piety, but because she threatened Ling Shengjia. If he didn't agree, he would tell Duchess Ling Guo about it. Ling Shengjia used a lot of the dowry of the Duchess of Ling Guo, and he didn't want the seriously ill Duchess of Ling Guo to know, so he did this wrong.

Jiang was stunned by the side.

Zhu Xue and Qiu Yin couldn't help laughing.

She finally knew why Chu Yuqin was so generous.

But why don't they know about it? Obviously, they followed Mrs. Shizi all day long, and rarely separated from her. As a result, she did such a big thing and no one knew.

"This bastard thing." Duchess Ling Guo was so angry that she dropped the cup next to her.

Jiang shivered.

Mama Fang just came back. The broken cup splashed on her forehead. Suddenly, blood flowed.

"Yikes! Mama, you're hurt. Chu Yuqin was shocked. Go and bandage it. ”

"Bandage what? It's just a minion, how can it be so delicate? Duchess Ling Guo said coldly: "Why don't you go and make me tea quickly." ”

Mama Fang blessed her body and immediately went to make tea.

Duchess Ling's eyes were red.

"Chu Clan, since you know about this, why don't you tell me?"

"Mother, you were sick. Where can I stimulate you? What's more, the uncle said it clearly. I think you are a mother and son, and I guess he won't coax me. ”
