Chapter 254: A Confused Account
"Then there will be more auspicious words for the eldest princess, and please rest assured that although Chu Yu is a princess in name only, she will not drag the prince back and make him embarrassed. ”
The eldest princess smiled, didn't answer, and said: "Jing'er, this child has had a very hard time since he was a child, his mother was gone when he was very young, the children in the palace are sad, and the children without a mother are even more sad, if it weren't for the queen mother and the palace to take care of her, Jing'er would have not known which cold palace she died of illness in." ”
Later, the emperor asked him to go out of the palace to learn skills, and after many years, he also fulfilled a loyal king. ”
The eldest princess chattered about Li Xiujing's childhood, and Ling Chuyu listened carefully.
No matter what purpose the eldest princess has for her, she will not harm Li Xiujing, she is really good to Li Xiujing.
After speaking, the eldest princess left Ling Chuyu to eat, and then asked the housekeeper to send Ling Chuyu away.
*
In the general's mansion, in the courtyard of the old lady, from the housekeeper to the gatekeeper who watched the gate, he knelt on the ground.
Old Madam Ling's face was ashen, and she sat on the side in a daze, while Mu Nianbai stood quietly at the door, unable to see her joy or anger.
Ling Chuan sat at the top of the seat, his face was blue, his eyes swept over the servants in the courtyard, and the expression on his face was terrifying.
This was the scene that Ling Chuyu saw when she came in, and her heart moved.
Just at the door, her father's personal servant personally invited her in, but she didn't expect such a big battle.
When Ling Chuan saw Ling Chuyu coming back, the expression on his face eased, swept the dress on her body, and asked, "Are you entering the palace?"
Ling Chuyu shook her head, "I'm going to visit the princess, father, what's wrong?"
Speaking of this stubble, Ling Chuan's anger immediately rushed up, "A few days ago, my father asked people to check the accounts in the mansion, but I didn't expect that this huge general's mansion would have to rely on the dowry of his daughter-in-law. ”
Ling Chuyu shook her head, "My daughter didn't take care of the house for a few days, the accounts were always in the hands of Shen Xiaoniang before, then it was my grandmother, and then it was given to my sister-in-law, and my daughter has never been clear." ”
"If you are clear, how can this general's mansion be emptied!" Ling Chuan was really angry.
He just asked people to check what Shen Xiang had done over the years, and blocked his wife's mouth openly, and no longer mentioned the matter of picking up Shen Xiang back.
The audit was only incidental, but I didn't expect this check, only to know that Shen Xiang had to take money from the General's Mansion every year to supplement her mother's family, and she also privately turned several of the most profitable shops in the General's Mansion into her own, and even Mrs. Ling also took money from the General's Mansion to post her mother's family.
As soon as Ling Chuan thought that the family business he had saved with his life had been hollowed out by these two women, and they were still harsh on his daughter, Ling Chuan felt a chill in his heart and regretted not being at the beginning.
"This is the accounts of all these years, you take it and look at it, and then tell your father what to do!" Ling Chuan was very glad at this time that he had given his wife's dowry to his daughter to take care of, otherwise there would probably be nothing left at this time.
Ling Chuyu picked up the account book and flipped through it, Shen Xiang's accounts over the years, at first, he would cover it up, and in the end, he relied on Ling Chuan not to check the accounts, almost not covering it up.
Full of loopholes, when he saw those shops, Ling Chuyu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Father, the top priority is to get these shops back, these are the ancestral property of the Ling family, my daughter is afraid of delay, these will enter the Chengwang Mansion, and she will not be able to get them back when the time comes." ”
If Shen Xiang knew about the movements at home and gave the title deeds of these shops to Ling Xiaoxiao, no matter how angry they were, they wouldn't be able to go to Chengwangfu to grab things.
Ling Chuan was carried away by anger, calmed down at this time, reacted after listening to Ling Chuyu's reminder, and quickly ordered, "From today on, no one in the mansion is allowed to go out, and whoever makes any changes will be dealt with by military law." ”
Ling Chuyu nodded, and turned her head to look at Mu Nianbai, "Sister-in-law is hard, these slaves still have to let their sister-in-law interrogate, as for how to deal with it, sister-in-law will come out with a confession at that time, if it is serious, the official who should be reported will be thrown out." ”
Mu Nianbai hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Ling Chuan did not object, he took it.
She knew that Ling Chuyu was thinking about herself, and after this personal trial, the personnel relations in the mansion would be sorted out, and the slaves who were gently let go by her would also be grateful to Dade.
Ling Chuyu saw that Mu Nianbai understood, nodded, moved his gaze to the old lady on the side, and said without any emotion: "As for grandmother, it's better for my father to solve it personally! ”
Ling Chuan had no objection, waved his hand, and directly transferred a few people to Mu Nianbai, "Yunyi's daughter-in-law, you take them directly to the trial." ”
Mu Nian collared the people, and without delay, he directly brought this group of people to the council hall.
Ling Chuyu immediately suggested to Ling Chuan, "Father still needs to send someone to the shop, Zhuangzi to take a look, according to the daughter's opinion, all of them will be replaced by their father's henchmen! If there is any change in the future, it is easy to speak." ”
Ling Chuan is planning to remarry, if the bride enters the door in the future, these places will be replaced by Mu Nianbai or her person, it will always make people feel uncomfortable, and it is better to settle it clearly at this time.
Ling Chuan didn't think about it so much, and after listening to what Ling Chuyu said, it made sense, so he arranged it directly.
Seeing that Ling Chuan had finished arranging, Ling Chuyu said hello and left directly, as for the old lady sitting on the side, Ling Chuyu ignored it, and Ling Chuan didn't mention it.
No one would have thought that the old lady who had been married into the Ling Mansion for many years would empty her own family to supplement her mother's family.
Shen Xiang is a concubine, and it is understandable to do this, but Old Madam Ling really broke Ling Chuan's heart.
When Ling Chuyu left, Ling Chuan got up and instructed his people, "Take the people in this courtyard down directly, leave a mother-in-law for the old lady to serve closely, and take the rest away." ”
"You can't do that to me. Old Madam Ling stood up tremblingly and looked at Ling Chuan, "Evil barrier, I'm your mother!"
"Do you still know that you are my mother!" The anger in Ling Chuan's heart surged up again, "You are my mother, can ignore her son and grandson and empty all the general's mansions?"
"It's not that your father won't let me make up for my mother's family! Do you know what kind of life your uncle has been living all these years, it's my own brother, can you ignore it?"
"Then you will let my daughter suffer? What kind of life did Chu Yu have before, have you taken care of it?" Ling Chuan turned out the things that Shen Xiang had done, and some of the old ladies Ling knew about them, and they didn't stop them.
"I know you don't like Zhiyu, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. ”
Old Madam Ling looked at Ling Chuan in disbelief, and took two steps back, "You actually say that I am vicious, if I want to be vicious, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"
