The old lady, the Zhao family, and Pei Luobai listened intently, and saw that the tent man paused, and glanced at Gu Nanzhi with no meaning.

The three of them convicted her in their hearts, and waited for the bookkeeper to give a specific number.

Gu Nanzhi was not in a hurry, she picked up the tea and took a sip.

Zhao couldn't help but stab her, "Zhizhi, isn't it good to explain honestly?" If you have to make it to this point, I'll see how you end up. ”

The old lady snorted coldly, "This is all her own doing." ”

The bookkeeper glanced at them with a strange expression, and then continued: "The account is clear, in the past six years, Mrs. Shizi has subsidized the Hou Mansion in total, 165,871 taels of silver. ”

His words were tantamount to thunder on the ground.

"What do you say? Say it again! The old lady trembled and stood up on the table.

Pei Luobai took a step back, his pupils shrank, as the prince of the Hou Mansion, when facing Gu Nanzhi, his natural sense of superiority created him a lofty posture, and he had always disdained her as a person, as well as her deep affection.

Unexpectedly, she raised the Hou Mansion for six years, and it was she who supported the entire Hou Mansion, so that he could still claim to be the son of the Hou Mansion in front of others.

"I don't believe it, the Hou Mansion has fallen to such a point." Zhao shook his head and said.

Until the bookkeeper put the account book in front of them, in black and white, and the accounts were clear, they couldn't help but deny it.

The old lady was in a complicated mood, "Zhizhi, it's all grandmother's fault, I don't know that the Hou Mansion has had such a difficult time these years, and I have to rely on you to make up for it, I'm sorry, it was my grandmother who wronged you." ”

She stepped forward tremblingly and held Gu Nanzhi's hand affectionately, "You are a good boy, grandmother believes in you, and this Hou Mansion will be handed over to you to take care of in the future." ”

Zhao's face was a little red, "Zhizhi, you've worked hard all these years." ”

Do you want her to be in charge of the house, or let her continue to make up for the Hou Mansion?

Gu Nanzhi's eyes flashed with ridicule, she withdrew her hand, her face was terrified, "My granddaughter-in-law has made a mistake, and since she has handed over the power of the family, she will never dare to be contaminated again, and it is better for grandmother to find someone who can be trusted, so as not to work like this again." ”

Want her to pick up this mess when she's a fool?

Her words were hidden, and the old lady's face froze.

Pei Luobai looked at her with a complicated expression, and saw her whisper softly: "There is only one thing that is very difficult, if this account is not counted, if outsiders know, the Hou Mansion has been reduced to relying on my dowry to make up for it, I am afraid that it will ......"

What are you afraid of?

Everyone knows it.

I'm afraid that the Cheng'en Houfu will become the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto, and people will no longer be able to raise their heads.

After saying this, she glanced at Pei Luobai fixedly, and seeing that he looked decadent, she hid the smile in her eyes and turned to leave.

Pei Luobai is the most conceited, and now he suddenly found that he, as well as his family, had been raised for six years by a woman he had always looked down on, which was enough to destroy his pride and pull out his arrogance.

Not long after Gu Nanzhi returned to Lanyue Pavilion, Pei Luobai asked someone to send her the one thousand taels of gold given by the Holy Emperor, but this was not enough, he also asked someone to pass the word, and he would find a way to slowly replenish the remaining silver to her.

Gu Nanzhi used his Qianqian jade finger to stroke the gold one by one, what he owed her was more than that, but it didn't matter, she would get it back one by one.

There is no money, and Brother Qian'er moved to the front yard, which naturally ended without a problem, not to mention that it is the end of the year, not counting people's wages, and all kinds of human contacts, it is a huge expense.

The old lady was so worried that she couldn't even eat, this was the first year that Luo Bai came back, the Hou Mansion must not show any signs of defeat, she was a little considerate, but it was all her dowry, why should it be used to supplement the Hou Mansion?

She thought about it, she had to let Gu Nanzhi come out of the money, how could Mrs. Shizi be so good, who told her that she asked for it.

In the evening, she asked Mother Kong to invite Gu Nanzhi and Brother Qian to have dinner together, Gu Nanzhi shirked it because she was unwell, she was not stupid, the old lady just wanted to coax her to pay out money, and by the way, throw this mess to her.

The old lady has lived for such a long time, and she can't imagine that this is because she is unwilling to come.

"What a little slut, it's really shameless." She was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand, rolled her eyes, and immediately called someone to invite Pei Luobai.

Pei Luobai was drunk, "What does grandmother command?" ”

The old lady didn't know that he gave Gu Nanzhi all the 1,000 taels of gold rewarded by the saint, and persuaded him earnestly and asked him to coax Gu Nanzhi to take back the power of the family, this is about to be the New Year, and there is not even a thousand taels of silver on the account, but how can he live?

Pei Luobai refused, "Grandmother wants me to use her dowry?" Only the most unproductive man in the world will calculate a woman's dowry. ”

"So what do you say? Can't get over this year? You don't need her dowry, you can take out the gold given by the Holy Lord, and get through the current difficulties first. ”

"The Hou Mansion owes her so much silver, tell me how to raise my head in front of her in the future, I have already given her the thousand taels of gold, if the grandmother is fine, the grandson will retire." Pei Luobai had one foot deep and one foot shallow, he turned his head and left.

Knowing that he actually gave all the 1,000 taels of gold to Gu Nanzhi, the old lady was so angry that she almost didn't mention it, what hers, what the Hou Mansion, since she married into the Hou Mansion, everything about her should belong to the Hou Mansion.

"The old lady is very angry!" was so frightened that Mother Kong hurriedly gave her a good breath.

On the second day, the news of the old man's illness came out of the Tsurubai Temple.

Even Xia Ling could see it, "Miss, the old lady must be pretending to be sick, she is sick, and the lady is useless, and the drudgery of being in charge of the family will naturally fall on the young lady." ”

How could Gu Nanzhi not know that she knew them too well, and after greeting the old lady, she asked someone to prepare a carriage, and in the name of praying for the old lady, she resigned from the Hou Mansion with summer and autumn.

After the carriage drove into the downtown area, she whispered a few words in Qiu Ci's ear, Qiu Ci quietly got out of the carriage, looked at her back, Gu Nanzhi hooked her lips and smiled.

The gift she had worked so hard to prepare for Jiang Linyue should also be given to her.
