Chapter 559: Together
Another 100,000 taels!?
The appetite of the people in their five rooms is really not small, and Du Jingyi is not stupid, so he immediately replied.
"One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount of money in the Guogong Mansion back then, how can it be easily spent, aren't you fooling me?"
"At that time, the eldest aunt was sick, and the affairs of the family were handed over to the eldest sister-in-law, but the eldest brother was sicker than the eldest aunt, and she was also weak, so naturally the people under her had a side mind, Mrs. Wei is good at winning people's hearts, which you also know, so many people in the tent are listening to her, and the 100,000 taels moved, some of which are replaced by good shops in the Guogong Mansion, some are misappropriated land rents, and some I don't know, after all, Mrs. Wei is the housekeeper for the next few decades, and she has already smoothed out the accounts."
Du Jingyi has calculated before and after, even if Mrs. Wei is capable, this hole is not small, the only possibility is that she did something in the funeral of her eldest brother and mother-in-law, and settled the accounts with shoddy goods.
The funeral of the little grandfather and the princess of the Guogong Mansion is naturally a big expense, and it is a matter of embezzling some from here and adding some there, so Du Jingyi is also angry when he thinks of this.
If Mrs. Wei was still alive, she would definitely let Mrs. Wei die a good death.
Not to mention harming people's lives, even the aftermath has to be calculated, it's not a thing.
And the same is true of the people in the five rooms in front of him, they are all garbage who help the abuse, so he looked at the face of the daughter-in-law of Wulang and looked a lot ugly, and said in a hurry.
"The fifth sister-in-law came to me to tell the secret, and it is estimated that the days when you can stay in the fifth room will not be long, if you want to run, run early, don't run by then, I don't care if your mother and son live or die."
When she said this, it could be regarded as a reminder to Wulang's daughter-in-law, Du Jingyi was angry, since the culprit, Mrs. Wei, was dead, then Wufang also had to pay the price they could!
Goro's daughter-in-law suddenly stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and then nodded weakly and said.
"Don't worry, I will leave Sui'an City early, and I will never get in the way of you."
After speaking, he hurriedly saluted and hurried out of the gate of the general's mansion.
After she left, Steward He was also so angry that he asked Du Jingyi.
"Madame, what shall we do now? Do you want to send this news to the general? ”
"Naturally, it's going to be delivered, but Liu Xun is not here, and I don't feel at ease when other people send news, so let's wait and see, let's take care of the five rooms first!"
"Okay, old slave, but on Madame's orders."
After calming down, Du Jingyi said to Steward He.
"You sent me a copy of the family property that was divided into five rooms before, I want to see how they live in Sui'an City without these things, and in addition, send a message to Xue Niang and sister-in-law, tell them that I have something important to discuss, and Ping'er and the eighth brother-in-law will follow if they have time."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, the subordinates of the General's Mansion rushed to the Guogong Mansion and the Guo family, and the Xue Niang and sister-in-law who heard the news did not know why, but they still put down their affairs and rushed over.
Ping'er is at home today, so naturally she is going to appear, Guo Shilang has something to do, so Xue Niang came alone.
When I entered the door of the General's Mansion, I saw that Steward He's face was not very good.
Sister-in-law Liu's heart also lifted up, and then asked.
"What's wrong? Suddenly, they were in such a hurry to find us back, but something happened to my brother and sister? It can't be Tygo, what's wrong with them, right? ”
Hearing this voice, I knew that the sister-in-law Liu was in a hurry, and Steward He hurriedly reassured him.
"Don't worry, Mrs. and the little master are very good, I invited you to come today, it is for an old case in the past, and the specific Madame will say later, please come with the old slave."
So saying, he led them to the antechamber.
Here, most of the time it is mainly to receive guests, and on weekdays, they come directly to Xitang Courtyard, so the more they walk, the more strange they feel.
When he saw Du Jingyi, he saw that her face was also ugly, so he immediately went up to question.
Du Jingyi sighed, and told everything about today, and after hearing it, the three of them were angry, especially Xue Niang, she lost her mother's love, and she was naturally angry when she didn't have the golden and precious days before.
"Mrs. Wei really made her die easy, she should have been Ling Chi in the first place to offset the evil she did to her mother!"
After she said this, sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but have some associations.
"Mother-in-law was harmed by her, could it be that your eldest brother was also harmed by her? Otherwise, why would a good person die of illness at such a young age, his body bones have always been good! ”
This silenced several people, because it was most likely true.
It's just that the Wei family has made a big mistake and didn't leave a living mouth at all, so they can't verify this matter anymore, so it has become a mystery forever, which makes the sister-in-law Liu a little difficult to accept.
Sitting on the stool, the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, so in the end I cried with my face covered.
She cried uncomfortably, and the other three also cried, Du Jingyi had never gotten along with her mother-in-law and eldest brother, so her tears at the moment were more for her husband and sister-in-law.
The people in the room cried uncomfortably, and it wasn't until a long, long time passed that the emotions slowly eased up, and the first thing the sister-in-law said was.
"The fifth room is not a thing, knowing that Mrs. Wei is harming her mother-in-law, she even uses this as a threat to make profits in it, hmph, what is the death of a fifth grandfather, the people in the fifth room should die!"
Her words, although they sounded ruthless, but for everyone, they felt very reasonable, Xue Niang took the words with red eyes, and said.
"I'll tell my husband about it when I go back, don't say anything else, don't think about it anymore!"
Ping'er also clenched his fists, he is now following his father-in-law in the court, and his temperament has also been honed, so he has also been a little ruthless, so he said to Xue Niang.
"What do you want to trouble Uncle Eight, they dare to harm my grandmother, I won't let it go, don't you just want to collude with the Dingping Marquis Mansion to make a fuss about this matter? I'm going to make him fall in there!" ”
When he said this, he also swore very much.
Sister-in-law Liu glanced at her son with great relief, and felt that he was really much older now, so he also had a way to talk and do things, so she patted Xue Niang's hand and said.
"Let Ping'er do it, this matter is an old account in the Guogong Mansion, and it is inappropriate to let the people of the Guo family stand up for us!"
Du Jingyi also agreed that Ping'er should take the lead in this matter, so he also spoke.
"In the past few days, I have taken care of all the property that was divided between the five houses that year, and if I didn't ask them to cut off all the financial roads a year ago, I won't be surnamed Du!"
