The baggage was opened, and the boxes and books inside were spread out in front of everyone.

Old Madam Gu stared at the burden, the flesh on her face was twitching, her hand was clutching the brocade quilt covered on her body, and her hatred was almost spurting out.

Just let them be poor, even if they get the account books and deeds, the eldest princess of Xuanyang has been dead for more than ten years, who can say how much family wealth she has left behind, even if someone from the palace wants to be the master of Gu Mingzhu, it is useless, over the years, the family wealth of Dongfu has long been hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell.

Thinking of this, her hand relaxed slightly, and leaned on the soft pillow a little relaxed, even if Gu Mingzhu took the deed back now, it won't be long before she had to send it back obediently, after all, the Gu family is in charge!

Gu Mingzhu didn't look at the old lady, just lowered her eyes and looked at the deeds, and said softly: "The queen of heaven cares, I got back these deeds of Dongfu with me today, but how long can I keep them, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to keep the letter next time." ”

Her voice was low and almost inaudible, but Qi Shanggong, who was sitting next to her, heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look up, but she saw that this Gu lady, who was supposed to be a carefree lady in your mansion, had a sad smile on her petite face.

Qi Shanggong couldn't help but move in his heart, it seems that the rumors outside are not all false, at least the situation of this eldest lady Gu is indeed not very good, even the eldest princess can't keep the family wealth left behind, Fang Cai also heard from the servant in the East Mansion, today the old lady Gu just sent someone to ask for her seal, it seems that she is planning to sell the Grange shop in the East Mansion.

Unexpectedly, this hussar general's mansion is indeed a mess.

She said to Old Madam Gu: "Since everything is here, let's pair it up, and ask where it is missing." ”

Old Madam Gu expected that they would not be able to find out anything, that is, if there was anything, she just had to say that she didn't know, and who could say that there must be.

She pulled out a small smile and nodded.

Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, Qi Shanggong took out a stack of lists from his sleeves, opened them and put them next to the account books and deeds, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Ruan Sishu has asked people to find out the dowry list of the eldest princess of Xuanyang back then, and copied a copy with me, so that we can understand it and there will be no omission." ”

She said, glancing at Gu Mingzhu, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady Gu mentioned to the queen of heaven that there was a dowry list for the eldest princess in front of the queen of heaven, I am afraid that no one will remember this matter, and it will not be so smooth to check it now.

This lady Gu is really unusual, if it weren't for her difficult situation, I'm afraid she wouldn't be like this.

Looking at the stack of lists, Mrs. Gu couldn't sit still anymore, they actually found the list of the eldest princess of Xuanyang to marry! After so many years, the eldest princess has long since passed away, how can she still get a dowry list, this is impossible!

She finally couldn't help it, and said urgently in a hoarse voice: "No, it's impossible, how can there be a dowry list, it's fake!" ”

Qi Shanggong raised his head and looked at Old Madam Gu in surprise, didn't he say that he was already sick and lost his voice, could it be that he was pretending to be sick?

It's just that Mrs. Gu couldn't hide it anymore, and pointed straight at the stack of lists: "That's fake, how can there be a dowry list!" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned, no one thought that Old Madam Gu would actually open her mouth for the wealth of the Dongfu family, and so unabashedly accuse Qi Shanggong of the dowry list in her hand being fake.

Gu Mingzhu snorted and chuckled, looking at the old lady Gu's eyes full of contempt and disdain: "My aunt died early, and the old lady is afraid that she doesn't know, the princess's dowry is prepared by the Shanggong Bureau, and the list of dowries will be copied in the record book of the Shanggong Bureau." ”

These words made the faces of Mrs. Gu and Mama Deng change, and Mrs. Gu felt that her face could not be hung up, which was to ridicule her for her humble background, not knowing these royal rules, and telling her that the dowry list was no longer true, and her hope was completely shattered.

Qi Shanggong owed to the old lady Gu without humility or arrogance: "This dowry list was personally copied by Ruan Sishu of the Shanggong Bureau and sent to me, if the old lady has any doubts, you may as well follow me into the palace for a while, and personally ask Zhou Shanggong to identify, the eldest princess's dowry that day was prepared by Zhou Shanggong himself, and you can know the truth at a glance." ”

There was no need to look at it anymore, Old Madam Gu's face slowly turned dead gray, her body was soft and lay down on the mat, and the brocade quilt that she was holding tightly in her hand was completely released.

There is no hope, when she saw the dowry list, she knew that everything was irretrievable, Gu Mingzhu had come prepared, she had already set up this bureau, waiting for her to walk in step by step, and now she could only let Gu Mingzhu get everything back.

It's just that Old Madam Gu still thinks too well, and after Qi Shanggong carefully counts, she found out that there is a shortage of more than 10,000 gold in the account of the East Mansion, and there is also a shortage of thousands of gold in the shop grange, as well as the income over the years, which is nearly 20,000 gold.

Qi Shanggong politely saluted the old lady Gu, who had opened her mouth and gasped for breath: "I have checked it clearly, the old lady is relieved, I will truthfully report these situations to the queen of heaven, it's just ......"

She looked at the old lady Gu who was lying on the couch like a fat fish about to suffocate out of the water: "Since the old lady has been able to speak, I'm afraid there will be a reply to the matter of that batch of spices. ”

After she said that, she bowed thoughtfully, and then said with a smile to Gu Mingzhu: "These deeds have never been less, and they will be handed back to the eldest lady, and I will return the short money and silver to the queen of heaven, I think there will be a judge." ”

Gu Mingzhu took the box and bowed his knees to Qi Shanggong and thanked him: "Thank you Shanggong, Mingzhu is grateful." ”

She had already thought about it, even if the family affairs in the Hussar General's Mansion were in Jingzhao Mansion, she was afraid that Yin would not dare to ask, after all, she was not an ordinary person, after all, she had to take care of Gu Qing, and she was afraid that she would not be clear with the mud, but it was different when it came to the palace, this was the marriage of the eldest princess of Xuanyang, and it was also a royal reward, and the internal women of the Shanggong Bureau had little contact with foreign officials, and it was the order of the Queen of Heaven, so she would have some scruples, and she would naturally be able to give her justice.

Old Madam Gu watched Gu Mingzhu take the box of the deed, and heard Qi Shanggong say that she would report all these things to the queen of heaven, she seemed to have been stabbed in the heart fiercely, and with a suffocation in her chest, she fell into Mama Deng's arms.

She has lost her own money, and now she has been taken away from her last dependence, and she has no way to live.
