"What do you mean by God?"

Lord Shangshu looked at his daughter Xi Qingyan in front of him, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Father, the time when my daughter took over Shangshu Mansion, I also checked the account books of previous years one by one, and then I found a lot of interesting things in this account book."

Xi glanced at Mrs. Shang Shu, and then handed the things he had prepared to Lord Shang Shuxi.

"It has been seventeen years since Madame married into Shangshufu, and she officially took over the affairs of Shangshufu half a year after marrying into Shangshufu."

"In the past ten years, the servants of Shangshufu have been able to walk and die, and of course, Shangshufu has also bought some of the servants from outside."

"Originally, these things wouldn't attract my attention, knowing that I saw a name that had been repeated for more than ten years, and that was this Zhao Fu!"

Xi Qingyan flipped the account book handed to Master Shang Shuxi to the page recorded in Zhao Fu.

"Shangshu Mansion has replaced many people in the past ten years, and the personnel in charge of various affairs in the mansion have also changed, but this Zhao Fu has been in charge of the procurement of Shangshu Mansion, and Zhao Fu is specially responsible for the expenses of his wife and second lady."

Xi Qingyan opened her mouth meaningfully, this sentence made Mrs. Shangshu on the side very harsh after hearing it, and she couldn't help but refute it at Xi Qingyan.

"Xi Qingyan, what's so strange about this matter, there are so many people in Shangshu Mansion, and many of them have been in Shangshu Mansion for more than ten years, why do you just stare at one Zhao Fu?"

"Moreover, what's wrong with me using this Zhao Fu? Zhao Fu and Chu Yu are very relieved that he is doing things, so I have been handing over important things to him, and those who are capable live in it, Zhao Fu is simply and neatly done, I don't need him, is it difficult to use others?"

Mrs. Shangshu directly slapped Xi Qingyan in front of her.

"Master, look at Xi Qingyan, she has just become the steward of Shangshu Mansion now, and she has begun to liquidate me! It's just that she liquidates me, and now even the people I have used are also liquidated!"

"Master, I am your wife who carried a sedan chair into Shangshu Mansion, how could Xi Qingyan treat me like this?"

Mrs. Shangshu accused Xi Qingyan of selling miserably to her husband.

"Liquidation? Madam, this is what you said yourself, it has nothing to do with me, I am just talking about things today, I hope Madame will not take out your ability to cry, make trouble, hang yourself and mud, and mess up right and wrong!"

Xi Qingyan looked indifferent, and reminded Mrs. Shangshu.

"Xi Qingyan, who are you yin and yang weird here? I tell Mrs. Ben to sit upright, and not to be afraid that you, an uneducated daughter, will slander me!"

"Slander?"

Xi retorted with a sneer.

It seems that Mrs. Shangshu still hasn't received a lesson, otherwise she wouldn't have hit the south wall like this and wouldn't have looked back.

"Chun Tao, call the bookkeeper and the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion in, I have something to ask them."

"Yes, Miss!"

Chun Tao has been waiting outside the door, she and the eldest lady came prepared this time, so they will not let Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter retreat today no matter what.

"Miss, please let in the bookkeeper and the housekeeper, two of you, please!"

The housekeeper got permission, and went into the study with the bookkeeper, and saluted the lord who was seated.

"I've seen the master."

"No need to be polite, Xi lightly, what do you want to ask them now, ask?"

Lord Xi also saw that his eldest daughter had confidence, so he followed his eldest daughter's wishes.

"Thank you, Father!"

"I brought the two of you here today to ask who this Zhao Fu is?"

"Miss Ben knows that the housekeeper and the bookkeeper have both worked in my Shangshu Mansion for one or two decades, so you must know a thing or two about the origin of that Zhao Fu!"

As soon as Xi Qingyan's words came out, the housekeeper and the bookkeeper subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Shangshu.

With just one glance, Xi Qingyan knew what was going on today

With 100% certainty.

"When the eldest lady asks you, tell me everything you know! If there is a half-truth, be careful of the family law of this master!"

"Master, we must know that there is no end to what we say!"

When the housekeeper heard Lord Xi say this, he also knew that Lord Shang Shuxi was now on the side of the eldest lady, and as soon as he and the bookkeeper on the side summed up, he told the whole story.

"Master, this Zhao Fu is actually ...... Actually, it's a distant cousin of Madame."

"Back then, Madame had just taken over the Shangshu Mansion, and the old man sent the old slave to assist the ladies, but the madam recommended this Zhao Fu to the old slave."

"The old slave is from Shangshu Mansion, so naturally he will not take the liberty of accepting a person of unknown origin, so I sent someone to investigate Zhao Fu's details, and then found out that he is Madame's distant cousin."

"For so many years, Madame has managed the affairs of the family, and when she buys some important things in the house, Madame has handed them over to her distant cousin."

"Originally, this matter was understandable, the old slave also thought that Zhao Fu, as a distant cousin of his wife, could be regarded as a big family, and the other party would definitely not harm Shangshufu, but this time, Shangshufu suddenly couldn't send monthly money, and the old slave was very suspicious of this matter."

"Master, you are the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the master's official position will have a lot of money every year, and these silver coins are more than enough to take care of the big family of Shangshu Mansion!"

"However, since the lady was in charge, this money has always been stretched, and after the old slave and the bookkeeper checked the account books, they found out what Zhao Fu had done from it!"

The housekeeper has already said this point, and the bookkeeper on the side is not ready to hide it, he will explain the truth of the investigation to Lord Shangshu in front of him.

"Master, Madame's distant cousin Zhao Fu, every time he buys something, it is more expensive than the price in the market, and sometimes it is even two or three times more expensive."

"Over the years, through Zhao Fu's hands countless amounts of silver, I used to think that Zhao Fu was a distant cousin of his wife, so I have never been wary of him, but it turns out that Zhao Fu stole the general property of Shangshu Mansion by overreporting the amount of silver."

"You're talking nonsense!"

When Mrs. Shangshu heard the words of the bookkeeper and the housekeeper, her scalp tingled.

Zhao Fu is indeed her distant cousin, but she believes that Zhao Fu has always been her person and will not do such a thing!

"Nonsense?"

Xi sneered lightly, and then took out a list from his sleeve.

"Father, this is a list of the outfits for the Begging Festival Shangshu Mansion every year, and Mrs. Fang Cai said that she spends a thousand taels of silver just to buy the outfits at the Begging Festival banquet every year."

"But in fact, five hundred taels of silver is more than enough to buy the clothes that Mrs. needs, father, this list is the list of prices sent to her daughter by the people of Tiangongfang this year."

"Our Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion is a regular customer of the Heavenly Workshop, and my wife used to customize the outfits of the Heavenly Workshop every year, and this year I am in charge, so the Heavenly Workshop has sent this list to me."

"If it only costs 500 taels of silver to buy a bank this year, then in the past ten years, we have spent thousands of taels of silver on the small matter of buying a bank."

Xi Qingyan's words made Lord Shangshu's face extremely pale.

No one likes to be wronged, and Lord Shangshu Mansion is naturally no exception.

He had handed over the Shangshu Mansion to his wife for so many years, and now when he thought about it, he shuddered!

"Come on, go and confront Zhao Fu!"

Lord Xi was furious, and commanded the caretaker in the study.

"Yes, sir, the little one will go!"

Everyone also noticed that Lord Shangshu was cloudy, so they didn't dare to come out one by one, lest they make a mistake and become Lord Shangshu's punching bag! ap.

"You ***, Master Ben has made you beautiful and beautiful as the housewife of Shangshu Mansion for so many years, and you are so deceived by me by marrying a distant cousin?"

"Past

year, every time you run out of silver, you come to me to pay, I see that it is not easy for you to be in charge of Shangshu Mansion by a woman, so I will hand over all the money to you! But what did you do to me?"

"Master, things are not what you think! Zhao Fu...... Although Zhao Fu is indeed a distant cousin of the concubine, he is really dedicated to Shangshu Mansion! There's absolutely no hiding anything!"

"Today's Events...... It must be Xi Qingyan and Mr. Billy and the housekeeper who deliberately slandered me! The concubine is really wronged!"

Mrs. Shangshu knew that if everything was really as Xi Qingyan said, she would not want to regain the power of the family in her life.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhao Fufu has done those things or not, the current Mrs. Shangshu will not admit it!

"Madam, there are so many big and small things in Shangshu Mansion, I really don't have time to slander you."

Xi sneered and went back.

"As for Zhao Fu in your mouth, I'm afraid it's not as innocent as Madame you said, Zhao Fu is Madame's distant cousin, according to my investigation, his family originally only set up a stall in the market to sell meat, but after he bought it for Shangshufu, within a few years, he bought a big mansion with three entrances and three exits in Kyoto, where every inch of land is expensive."

"Madame, tell me how easy it is for a small meat vendor to live in a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits?"

「……！！」

Mrs. Shangshu didn't expect that Xi Qingyan would even investigate this matter.

"Madam, since he is your distant cousin, I don't think I will hide the fact that he bought a big mansion from you."

"Madame has always been a smart person, otherwise my father would not let you take care of the house, but, can't such a smart lady see the origin of Zhao Fu's three-in, three-out courtyard? Or do you actually know, ma'am, but you just keep pretending not to know?"

Xi Qingyan lit a fire at the right time.

"Actually, madam, I don't can't understand this kind of psychology, after all, my biological mother is from a richer and nobler background than yours, so as the wife of the continuation of the string, she will always be compared with the former lady by the people in the house, and over time, you came up with this subsidy for your mother's family and hollowed out your mother-in-law's family......

"Xi Qingyan, don't spray people with blood here! I haven't done what you said!"

Mrs. Shangshu was very annoyed and argued with reason.

She also noticed that the look on her husband's face was getting worse and worse, so Mrs. Shangshu didn't care about Xi Qingyan, and hurriedly appeased her husband.

"Husband, I am a woman, marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, and marrying into Shangshufu, naturally I am honestly the wife of Shangshufu, how can I still fund my mother's family?"

"Husband, you know that my husband and Chu Yu have always been the first in my heart, how can I help my distant cousin?"

Mrs. Shangshu knew that she only relied on her husband in front of her in Shangshu Mansion.

It doesn't matter how others suspect her, as long as her husband, Lord Junxi, believes in her unconditionally, then she is the master mother of Shangshu Mansion!

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and this old man can't guess it!"
