Chapter VI: Evidence

The prime minister suspiciously took the ledger on the table and looked through it, and at this time, the smile on Xu Yanyun's face had already frozen, and she knew very well what was in the ledger.

Seeing that the prime minister's face was getting worse and worse, Xu Yanyun's heart couldn't stop drumming.

"You should know very well that just these things on the books are enough to bankrupt the Xu family, not to mention that this is only a small part. Xu Yanhong was addicted to gambling five years ago, and owed a lot of silver taels to the gambling house, but the Xu family had long been hollowed out by him, so who paid him the rest, the Xu family is now insignificant in the court, let alone important ministers, so who does the Xu family rely on to support the present, this should not need me to say more. Shen Qingyun opened her mouth unhurriedly, but every word was like a knife stuck in the hearts of the prime minister and Xu Yanyun.

"What the hell is going on?" Shen Ruiyuan's face darkened, and he frowned and looked at Xu Yanyun as he spoke.

"Sir, how can you believe her? Where can you get the account book of this gambling house if you want to, and the authenticity of this account book is not certain. Now Xu Yanyun secretly scolded Xu Yanhong in his heart, and then quibbled.

"Where did you get this ledger from?" Shen Ruiyuan thought about it and felt that what Xu Yanyun said also made sense.

"Naturally, it was borrowed from the owner of the gambling house, and if the prime minister suspects that this account book is fake, he can send someone to the gambling house to inquire." Shen Qingyun was indifferent.

"This can't be true, Nan Wuyue is so difficult, how can he lend you the account book." Xu Yanyun saw that Shen Ruiyuan's face was a little hesitant, for fear that Shen Ruiyuan would believe Shen Qingyun's words, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Just now I just said that this is the ledger of the gambling house, not that it is the gambling house. There are so many gambling houses in the capital, how did Madam know that this account book was taken from Nan Wuyue's hands?

It seems that Mrs. knows this very well, and has long heard of small gambling, does Mrs. also have this hobby? Shen Qingyun raised the corners of her mouth, if she said that she had the ability to lift a stone and hit herself, Shen Qingyun had never seen others use it like this.

Xu Yanyun had realized that he had said the wrong thing at this moment, and the other concubines were sitting next to them watching the jokes, Xu Yanyun pressed them on weekdays, and now that they had suffered retribution, they were naturally very happy. Everyone watched with interest, and such a wonderful scene was enough for them to be happy for several days.

"What the hell is going on?" The prime minister already knew that what Shen Qingyun said was all true, and questioned Xu Yanyun again with a dark face.

"Master, Yan Hong has been in love with gambling money for a while, but he has changed his ways now. Master, I was also very angry after I knew it at the time, but I am such a younger brother, he is the only seedling of our Xu family. If I don't save him, he will be beaten to death by those men. Xu Yanyun is quite smart, she didn't insist on defending at the moment, but generously admitted that it was indeed a good way to admit her mistakes.

"You really took the silver taels in the house to do such a thing, it's really getting more and more bold." Shen Ruiyuan said angrily, although he felt that he needed to be a little arrogant on weekdays, but he didn't want her to dare to do this kind of thing.

"Master, how can Yan Hong be an outsider, Yan Hong is my younger brother, and he is also your younger brother." Xu Yanyun knelt in front of Shen Ruiyuan, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was enough to make a man's heart move, not to mention that she helped Shen Ruiyuan a lot back then.

"Prime Minister, now that you know the truth, what you do next has nothing to do with me, but the money that supports the Xu family includes my monthly salary, and Madame must return it to me without a penny, otherwise I have to tell the truth of the matter, and the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be ...... at that time" Shen Qingyun knew that Xu Yanyun just used the silver taels of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this crime could not really bring her down.

Shen Ruiyuan thought that Xu Yanyun would help him in his career, and he wouldn't really treat her like him for so many years, so Shen Qingyun didn't bother to continue watching them sing.

This time, her purpose is to get back the silver taels that belong to her, to ensure her next life and status in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as long as she achieves such a purpose.

Shen Ruiyuan thought about it for a while, he thought that Shen Qingyun's words were not a joke, if this matter was not handled well, she was afraid that she would really make this matter known to everyone, and when the matter of the Prime Minister's abuse of his concubine came out, it would really be discredited.

"Qingyun, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. After all, your ten-year monthly salary is not a small amount, but if you want anything in the future, you can just go and get it without asking. Shen Ruiyuan glanced at the kneeling woman on the ground, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart. raised her head to reassure Shen Qingyun, hoping that she would not be impulsive.

"Think long-term? Now the evidence is ironclad, and there is no need to think about it in the long run. Just let the account room calculate my ten-year monthly salary, and I will get it within five days, otherwise I will bear the consequences. Shen Qingyun didn't give in at all.

"It seems that the accounting room should not be clear, in that case, then I will come to Mrs. to calculate. I haven't gotten a monthly salary for ten years, and the concubine of the prime minister's house has thirty taels of silver a month, which is three thousand six hundred taels for ten years. Shen Qingyun saw that Shen Ruiyuan had no decision, so he spoke first.

"Shen Qingyun, you are too much, Daddy said that you can go directly to get whatever you want in the future, and you are still so aggressive.

Daddy, mother, of course, she is at fault, but mother just wants to pull her uncle. And my mother is also for the sake of our Prime Minister's house, if my uncle keeps going like this, others will definitely say irresponsible things about our Prime Minister's house.

She was afraid that people would know, so she secretly helped her uncle pay back the money. Daddy, just forgive your mother for the sake of your mother's usual diligent housekeeping, how can you take out so many silver taels in five days, does Daddy want to force her mother to death? Shen Qingwen couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly got up to intercede for Xu Yanyun.

"Qingyun, don't look like this, you have more time." Shen Ruiyuan saw that his daughter was so sensible and gentle, and he also felt sorry for Shen Qingwen and opened his mouth to help Xu Yanyun intercede.

"The Prime Minister thinks of the friendship of his wife, and if he thinks that his wife is not easy, he can help her return the three thousand six hundred taels to me. Madame is just running the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Madame has not benefited much over the years, so such a small credit can be maintained by the Prime Minister like this.

The prime minister might as well think about it, my mother lost her life in vain for your career back then, how does the prime minister plan to repay such a friendship? Shen Qingyun was pressing step by step, although she was not the real Shen Qingyun, but she felt sad and indignant when she read Shen Qingyun's memories in the past few days.

The prime minister was speechless, he couldn't pay off the life he owed Shen Qingyun's mother. "You will bear the trouble yourself." Shen Ruiyuan only dropped a sentence and got up to leave, he couldn't stand Shen Qingyun's torture.

Watching Shen Ruiyuan leave, Xu Yanyun knew that he had completely lost hope. Let Shen Qingyun get up from the ground with her arms in her arms and stare at Shen Qingyun fiercely.

"Within five days, send the silver to the Fanjin Pavilion." Shen Qingyun's eyes did not dodge and looked at Xu Yanyun to speak, and then turned around and left, she was tired after a day of tossing.

When the three of them returned to the Pavilion, the Pavilion had changed drastically from when they left in the morning. The top and bottom of the Fanjin Pavilion were cleaned spotlessly, the weeds in the courtyard were also cleaned up, and some flowers and plants were transplanted, which was very chic.

Thinking that the housekeeper had cleaned it, Shen Qingyun's mood seemed to brighten up a little. Soon the housekeeper led a group of people to Fanjin Pavilion, "Miss, this is the person who the master ordered to add more care to your yard." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Song." Shen Qingyun spoke.

"By the way, Uncle Song, we'll go out for dinner, please bring it to me." Shen Qingyun thought about it and spoke again, she really didn't want to see those faces when she was eating, and it affected her appetite just thinking about it.

"Yes, miss." The butler nodded, then turned and left to get busy.

Shen Qingyun's gaze stayed on the large number of people that the housekeeper had just sent, these people were all transferred from various courtyards, and it was inevitable that there would be spies. "Shurui, you can settle them." Shen Qingyun looked at the headache and directly ordered Shurui to deal with it.

"Tell Shurui in a moment that the group of people who came in today told them to do something you don't want to do, and don't send them to me." In the room, Shen Qingyun drank tea and explained to Chu Rui.

"Yes, miss. Miss, don't believe them? Hatsuru spoke.

"They were all sent from other yards, and they inevitably had eyeliner, so I kept them away." Shen Qingyun spoke.

"Miss is thoughtful." Chu Rui nodded, and turned to look for Shurui.

On the other side, Xu Yanyun and Shen Qingwen were thinking of a way together, Xu Yanyun sat at the table with a sad face, and Shen Qingwen was even more worried.

"Mother, are we really going to give Shen Qingyun three thousand taels of silver in five days?" Shen Qingwen asked.

"How is it possible, where am I going to find her so much silver in five days. I didn't expect the master to help me and help that slut's child. Xu Yanyun gritted her teeth, originally thinking that Shen Qingyun would suffer a disaster today, who would have thought that she would be able to get the account book from Nan Wuyue's hands.

Xu Yanyun held back the fire in her belly, sure enough, if she has a mother, she must have her daughter, Shen Qingyun, who will seduce men like her mother. She had negotiated with Nan Wuyue several times, but she couldn't get the upper hand, Shen Qingyun was able to persuade Nan Wuyue to give her the account book, maybe she used some invisible tricks.

"Mother, but Daddy has already agreed to Shen Qingyun. What if we can't get the money? Shen Qingwen was taken aback by Shen Ruiyuan's actions just now, since she was a child, her father's favorite thing is her mother and her, she has never spoken out loud, and today she actually lost her temper with them for Shen Qingyun.

"Sister-in-law, you have to remember that no matter what kind of things you encounter, you can't mess up first, everything will be solved. Our people should have already entered the Fanjin Pavilion, right? Xu Yanyun comforted his daughter, and his shrewd eyes flashed with calculations.

"Mother, don't worry, our people have been arranged to go in, and we will all know Shen Qingyun's every move." Shen Qingwen looked at her mother and spoke.

"I'd like to see how capable she is." Xu Yanyun smiled, although she couldn't make up three thousand six hundred taels of silver in five days, she was enough to find out what was wrong with Shen Qingyun, and even if she didn't, she could make it.
