Bai Mujian smiled, she knows better than anyone what the fire burned now, the valuable things that could be burned were taken away by Feng Jiuqing in advance, and quietly sent them to her, and the ones that were not burned were all placed in the Lu family's living room! Maybe some are in Bai Yunxi and Bai Gaoxuan's house.

Before Bai Mujin could speak, he heard Bai Shizu's voice behind him, and said in a panic: "Ning Xiang, what are you doing, you are so seriously injured, how can you get up casually!" ”

When the Lu family saw Bai Shizu coming, his heart became more stable, could Bai Hibiscus not let go in front of Bai Shizu? So the Lu family cried even harder, and said remorsefully: "Husband, you help the concubine and the county lord to intercede, the concubine was confused for a while, embezzled her sister's dowry, and the concubine has already learned that she is wrong, so people will return everything that can be returned to the county lord, and only ask the county lord to spare the concubine this time!" ”

Bai Shizu saw the tearful and miserable appearance, and hurriedly rushed over to help her up, and said distressedly: "Even if you want to apologize and admit your mistakes, you have to take care of your body first, if you have a good one, isn't that going to make the county lord bear the sin of unfilial piety?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Hibiscus meaningfully, and wanted her to help say a few words, but Bai Hibiscus did not disappoint him, and then said: "Father is right, mother should take care of her body first, the accounts are still being sorted out, and I will talk to my mother in a few days!" ”

"You...... The county lord, some things have been burned in the fire, my sister's dowry is priceless, and the concubine can't afford to pay it, but the concubine promises that she will definitely think about it! Lu begged while crying.

Bai Mujian hooked a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, but quickly retracted it, and persuaded instead: "Mother, what are you talking about, let's hurry up, don't you see that my father is distressed to death?" ”

Bai Shizu also hurriedly said: "Yes, if you have something to say, Jin'er is a filial person, and she will not embarrass you!" ”

At this time, he changed his name again, but he hoped that Bai Mu Hibiscus could be lenient about the dowry in the face of his father. After all, Lu is his wife, although this matter is indeed too much, but she almost lost half her life, and he really can't bear to continue to criticize her.

Bai Mujin looked at Bai Shizu and said with a slight smile: "Of course I am filial, so I will obey my mother's orders and help her take care of the dowry, so I have just ordered someone to go to the account room to liquidate my mother's dowry shop and Zhuangzi accounts, and see how my mother has helped my mother run it over the years. ”

She said this to save face, she doesn't ask for the original to be returned, as long as the price is compensated, some things, such as calligraphy and painting antiques, are unique, but don't want to find the exact same back.

When Lu Shi heard this, his face turned even paler than just now, and even his lips lost their blood, and he said tremblingly: "You...... You...... Still going to check the accounts? ”

"This is natural, I have already said in advance, before I officially take over my mother's dowry, I have to take a good inventory, and I will not be in a hurry when the time comes, my mother can rest assured, I invite trustworthy people, and there will never be the slightest bias and error!" Bai Hibiscus smiled and said.

The Lu family fell into Bai Shizu's arms in a daze, once those accounts are thoroughly investigated, what she has done will be exposed, in the past ten years, how much money she has embezzled, even she herself is a little confused.

Most of Lu Wanqin's Zhuangzi shops have become empty shells, and the reason is naturally that she used her hands and feet behind her back, used Lu Wanqin's silver to support her own industry, and gradually transferred all her property to her own name.

"Husband...... The concubine can't live, woo...... Over the years, due to the poor management of the concubine, my sister's dowry shop and Zhuangzi have been losing money year after year, and there is no income at all, the concubine knows that she is incompetent, so she doesn't dare to tell you, and secretly fills in her own private house, otherwise those shops will not be able to operate now! The Lu family hugged Bai Shizu and cried with sobs.

Bai Mujin saw that her acting was realistic, and she didn't debunk it, but said, "Oh...... It turns out that the dowry left by my mother has become a burden, it doesn't matter, since my mother is not good at management, just return all the Zhuangzi shops to me, don't have to wait for me to be in time, I think my mother has no objection, right? ”

Lu's mind turned for a moment, those empty shelves are only barely maintained now, and they are not of much use to her, if she can use this to make Bai Hibiscus let her go, there is nothing to be reluctant about.

said generously: "Naturally, tomorrow morning, I will have people sort out all the contracts and hand them over to the county lord!" ”

"Well, then it's bothering Mother, those misappropriated dowries?" Bai Hibiscus asked deliberately prolonged his voice.

The Lu family naturally understood, and hurriedly said: "The concubine will order someone to sort it out, and if it can be retrieved, it will be sent to Yiqin Pavilion immediately!" ”

"Very well, what else does the mother have to explain?" Bai Mu Hibiscus seemed to be very satisfied with Lu's knowledge.

Lu Shi looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "No, no!" ”

"Then the palace will not disturb the mother's recuperation, if you still think of anything, just send someone to invite the palace and say goodbye!" Bai Mu Hibiscus straightened his clothes and walked away without any delay.

Although Lu felt that Bai Hibiscus was so easy to deal with, he was a little uneasy, but when he thought that no matter how powerful she was, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl, and she could still jump to the sky? The shop and dowry have been returned to her, what can she do with her mother?

Bai Shizu looked at Lu's teary eyes, and sighed: "You are too confused, Wanqin's things are handed over to you, how can you do such nonsense?" ”

Lu Ningxiang immediately burst into tears again, and said aggrievedly: "What is the way to concubine, the concubine is just a concubine in the Lu family, and those good things can't be concubines, but now I am a dignified duchess, and I still use those things that can't be put on the table, which is also a shame for my husband, and I ...... when I am confused."

Bai Shizu also felt excusable when he heard it, thinking that the children who came out of the concubine were all pitiful, he felt more and more pity for the Lu family, and said softly: "Hey...... I have wronged you, if you lack anything in the future, tell your husband, and your husband will definitely think of buying it for you, so don't play Wanqin's dowry idea anymore! ”

"I know, husband, you treat me so well, I will definitely do my duty in the future, and I will never dare to make mistakes again and cause trouble to my husband!" Lu Ningxiang leaned obediently and meekly in Bai Shizu's arms, like a shy little woman.

Bai Shizu is very useful, in his opinion, money is all things outside the body, Wanqin has gone, those things are dead in the end, where is it more important than the delicate and moving wife in his arms!

Early in the morning of the second day, the subordinates of Ning Xiangyuan carried a few boxes of dowries to Yiqin Pavilion, and naturally brought those land deeds and shop deeds together.

Bai Mujin asked Mama Rui to check the dowry list, except for a few shops that have closed down and rented to other families, there is nothing missing.

Bai Mu Hibiscus said, "What? In the past ten years, these shops and Zhuangzi have not made any money at all? ”

Yingqiu hurriedly explained: "Madame said, at first you can still make some money, but the losses in the past few years have been terrible, and all of them have been lost, if it weren't for Madame to paste her own silver into it, I'm afraid it won't be able to operate now!" ”

"So, I'm going to thank my mother? Well...... I took the things, you go back first, and when I finish counting, I will naturally go to the door to thank you! Bai Hibiscus waved his hand, not intending to talk to these subordinates.

Yingqiu saw that she didn't make things difficult for herself, so she wished she had left early, for fear that Bai Mujian would have an excuse if it was too late.

Bai Mujin opened the box and looked at it, and asked, "What are the missing ones, list them for me one by one, and then hand them over to someone to appraise the value." And also...... Inform the stewards of these shops and Zhuangzi that they will come to the house tomorrow, and I will ask them how they do things! ”

Mama Rui naturally responded one by one, to rectify people, naturally she had to do enough work, and she could only be justified when she came to speak with evidence, she saw that although Bai Mujian knew that she had suffered a big loss, she could still bear it, and she knew that once it broke out, the Lu family would definitely not be able to resist!

It's ridiculous that the Lu family thought that he could avoid the past by admitting his mistake one step in advance, but he didn't know that people were brewing to settle the account! But Bai Mujin didn't expect that even if Lu was injured, he would be able to make a series of arrangements for himself.

Early the next morning, when she was having breakfast, a group of stewards were ushered in in the front hall of the Bai family, and the courtyard of the front hall was standing in black, which looked magnificent.

When Bai Mujin came, the stewards knelt on the ground one after another, saluted respectfully, and saluted the lord of Anping.

Seeing that they had come so neatly, Bai Mujin had a plan in his heart, and entered the hall without saying a word, drinking tea carelessly, and without saying a word for a long time, let the group of people kneel on the ground obediently.

The mandarin duck and the magpie were waiting for the white hibiscus to have a snack, and during this time, they went to the kitchen to stew a bowl of blood bird's nest, and the white hibiscus was slowly used.

"Miss, it's time to take medicine, your wound has just healed, and at this time, using Yuxue Cream is the most effective!" The mandarin duck came up with a medicine bottle with a smile.

Bai Hibiscus nodded, sat there and let her medicate herself and bandage her wounds. Nearly half an hour had passed, and some of the stewards kneeling on the ground outside the hall were old, and the stone slabs in the courtyard were so cold and hard that they could hardly support themselves after kneeling down for so long.

Bai Mujin still didn't mean to ask them to get up, but none of them dared to squeak, not to mention that the person inside was the county lord, even if it was just an ordinary master, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

About two pillars of incense time passed, and a few people were already dizzy, if it weren't for the people next to them, I'm afraid they would have fainted to death. But I saw an old woman leading a few people in, and instead of waiting outside the hall like them, she went directly into the flower hall.

"Say hello to the county lord!" Several people also saluted in a proper manner.

Bai Mu Hibiscus raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, can the matter be done?" ”

Mama Rui hurriedly said: "It's all settled, this is the account, the slave has seen it, it's very proper!" ”
