A complaint soon reached Ye Wanran's ears, even though Ye Wanran was angry, but more of a scared person.

Not for anything else, just because after using the money from the General's Mansion to supplement her uncle, it was difficult for her to fill such a large deficit, and with the pension, there was not much money in the public treasury.

She was afraid that the old lady would find out that she was guarding and stealing, so she could only make up her mind from her subordinates, and she would have attracted such complaints.

If it goes on like this, the old lady will find out sooner or later!

Thinking of this, Ye Wanran hurriedly asked Mama Xu to beat those who chewed the root of their tongues.

Since Li'er went to the Northern Desert, there is only one Mama Xu left by her side.

Mama Xu is her nurse, and she is also her military advisor, and the idea of letting the old lady force Shen Lingyu to go to the Northern Desert instead of her was Mama Xu.

"No matter what method is used, we must stop those people's mouths, otherwise we will be finished!" Ye Wanran held Mama Xu's hand and said in a deep voice.

Mama Xu nodded vigorously, "Madam, don't worry, the old slave will never let you have anything to do!" ”

It's just that although she promised so, after going out and coming back, her face looked even worse.

Ye Wanran looked at her expression, and her whole heart instantly rose to her throat.

"What's going on again?"

Mama Xu said: "The old slave went to the backyard for a trip, and unexpectedly heard that the third lady took out her own private treasury to improve the food for the people, and fell into a good reputation......

"Shen Lingyu, it's her again!"

Ye Wanran gritted her teeth in anger.

When she first entered the mansion, Shen Lingyu took over the power of the family with one hand, but she was just a little businesswoman from Yangzhou City, what qualifications did she have to compete with her, no matter what, she grew up in the General's Mansion since she was a child!

didn't expect that the public could not know people clearly, so he was relieved to hand over the family affairs to Shen Lingyu, who had just entered the door, to take care of the family affairs in the happy hall.

Now Shen Lingyu actually carried her behind her back and fell into the well, heh, I want to take this opportunity to take away the power of the family, it's not so easy!

Ye Wanran twisted her eyebrows and stomped her feet, and in an instant, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Mama, you go and call Mr. Ledger, that bad account is pushed on Shen Lingyu's head, it is the most suitable, who makes her like to steal my limelight everywhere!"

Mama Xu has been with her for many years, and as soon as she pouted, she knew what Ye Wanran was thinking in her heart, and for a while she also felt that it was feasible, so she hurriedly went to the front yard to ask Mr. Accounts.

Another two days passed, and the remarks in the house about the second lady's deduction and the third lady's generosity and decency were very loud, and soon reached the ears of Mrs. Pei, who lived in the Buddhist hall and recited the scriptures.

Originally, Mrs. Pei didn't plan to take care of such trivial matters, but since it involved the public treasury, she had to ask, so she called a group of people to the front hall early in the morning to settle accounts.

"Second daughter-in-law, let me ask you, is it true that you are deducting people's use?"

Ye Wanran stepped forward slowly, nodded silently and said, "Hui Niang's words are indeed true......"

"You're so daring! If it spreads out, what do outsiders think of our General's Mansion! Old Madam Pei's face changed suddenly.

Ye Wanran trembled in fright and hurriedly knelt down.

"Mother, daughter-in-law is also forced to ......"

Old Madam Pei snorted coldly, "You say, what a last resort!" The power of the family is in your hands, who can force you to do such a thing! ”

Ye Wanran glanced back at Shen Lingyu tremblingly, and then looked at the old lady, and shed tears before speaking.

"Mother, the daughter-in-law has only been in the house for half a year with her third brother and sister, and she has just been widowed, so she can't bear to make a big deal about it, but now the rumors about the daughter-in-law in the house are getting more and more excessive, and the daughter-in-law really can't bear it."

The old lady frowned when she heard this, "What does this matter have to do with the third daughter-in-law?" ”

Ye Wanran bit her lip, with a look of embarrassment on her face, but she acted very quickly, took out an account book directly from her arms, and slowly stepped forward to hand it to the old lady.

"Mother, you'll understand everything after you've seen this......"

The old lady stretched out her hand to take it, and after flipping through the two pages casually, her white eyebrows sank, and then she threw the account book in front of Shen Lingyu.

"The third daughter-in-law, when you were in charge of the house, you dared to guard me and steal from me, and now you have to help the second daughter-in-law clean up the mess for you, how do you explain this bad debt!"

Shen Lingyu raised her eyes to the old lady's angry eyes, and then glanced at Ye Wanran, who was smiling proudly, and already understood her trick in her heart, but she didn't see any panic on her face, but bent down unhurriedly to pick up the account book, and after flipping through a few pages, she sneered and laughed.

"The second sister-in-law specially made a fake account book to wronged me, which is really intentional."

Ye Wanran's face changed suddenly, "I have no grievances with you, how can I be wronged!" If you hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have made the truth public!

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that during the march of your father-in-law, you were constantly asked to prepare grain and grass, and we all thought that you had done this in an orderly manner, but who would have thought that you would even dare to fight the idea of grain and grass.

I said that when Pei's army first arrived at the border, how could it be defeated by the enemy and retreat, it turned out that you were behind it! ”

Ye Wanran said indignantly, and then glanced at Pei Lanzhi, who was sitting next to him.

Pei Lan's heart understood, and he stood up in time to echo.

"Yes, when the army first arrived at the border, it was hungry and cold, and it was hard to wait for the warm cotton clothes, who would have thought that more than half of them were filled with reeds, brother and sister, you even had to rob the soldiers of the grain and grass, it was really hateful!"

Old Madam Pei heard that her anger had nowhere to vent, so she picked up the teacup in her hand and threw it at Shen Lingyu.

"You poisonous woman, there are all the human and material evidence, what else do you have to say!"

When Shen Lingyu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

She's so talkative!

"The second brother and the second sister-in-law are husband and wife, and they will speak to the second sister-in-law, and it is not impossible for them to unite to wronged me, but the daughter-in-law will never admit what she has not done, not to mention that this account book is still fake!"

"Fake ledger?" The old lady frowned when she heard this, "Impossible! ”

Shen Lingyu knew that she didn't believe it, so he asked Zelan to go to the outer courtyard to invite Mr. Bookkeeper and Chen Shu.

Chen Shu held two other account books in his hands, and as soon as he entered the hall, he consciously stepped forward and handed the two account books to the old lady.

Shen Lingyu said in a timely manner: "Mother, the daughter-in-law heard that the second sister-in-law replaced the account clerk when she was in charge of the house, although she felt that it was inappropriate at the time, but after all, she was in charge, and the daughter-in-law couldn't say anything about it."

It was only later that I happened to learn that the second sister-in-law's mother's family had come once, came empty-handed, and returned with a full load, so I left an extra eye in my heart, so I asked Chen Shu, who cleaned the account room, to record each income and expenditure in another account book, and I never thought that I really found a problem. ”

Ye Wanran saw that Shen Lingyu had already prepared, and was instantly dumbfounded.

"You—you're squirting blood!"

Shen Lingyu smiled disapprerovingly: "Second sister-in-law, I haven't said that I have found any problems, why did you accuse me first, aren't you a thief?" ”
