Chapter 180 Corruption
"My lord, we are also like this. Although the jewelry in our store is one of the best in Yong'an City, the hair, earrings and beaded hairpins bought by the side concubine did not cost that much. The actual price is 5000 taels in total. It's not 3000 taels, the others are fake accounts made by the villain by Madam Liu of your mansion."

"..."

Without Long Chengye's interrogation, those people confessed all of Liu Shiying's subordinates.

Long Chengye was so angry that he never expected that the woman he married, the woman he had spoiled so much before, would be so dirty behind his back.

Nanny Liu, Xiang'er and other servants quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Long Chengye for mercy.

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Liu Shiying immediately rushed over, raised her hand and slapped Xiang'er across the face, cursing: "Baby maid, my concubine trusts you so much and asks you to help the palace buy things, is this how you repay my concubine?"

Xiang'er was shaking like a sieve, crying and kowtowed to Liu Shiying: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's a servant girl who is obsessed with ghosts, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Mu Qingyan looked at Long Chengye: "My lord, since they made false accounts, they must have embezzled all the extra money, and now forcing them to hand over the embezzled money can recover a little loss for the palace."

Long Chengye didn't ask them to hand it over at all, and directly ordered: "Come on, go to Cuiliu Pavilion and search their houses. I want to see who embezzled my money."

"Yes."

Wei Feng agreed, and immediately led the people down.

Soon, Wei Feng took the guards and brought the found silver and bank notes to Long Chengye.

"My lord, my subordinates searched the rooms of Cuiliu Pavilion and Mr. Lu Sheng, the accountant, and found 500 taels of silver and 3 taels of silver bills from Madam Liu's room, and 5000 taels of silver from Xiang'er's room. In Lian Er's room, 5000 taels were found.

Lu Sheng had the most rooms, and found 3 taels of silver and 5000 taels of silver.

In addition, 1 taels of silver were also found in the room of Madam Zhang in the house. "

"Oh." Long Chengye sneered: "I don't know that there are so many rats in my mansion."

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

Several people knelt down one after another.

Mu Qingyan is also speechless, these people are too corrupt, if this rate of corruption continues, I am afraid that within two years, Long Chengye's Lingwang Mansion will be short-lived until there is only an empty shell left.

Liu Shiying cried and rushed towards Long Chengye: "My lord, I don't know anything about this concubine, it's all their own decision, it has nothing to do with this concubine."

At this time, Liu Shiying just wanted to protect herself.

Mu Qingyan snorted coldly: "Concubine Liu, the prince asked you to be the housekeeper. Now, the people under your command have embezzled so much money, and you actually said that you didn't know about it and had nothing to do with you. Do you think this makes sense?"

Liu Shiying hurriedly said: "My lord, I know I'm wrong, I know my ability is limited, I beg my lord to take back my concubine's right to run the house. Since my sister is so capable, I ask my lord to hand over the power of the house to you Sister, I have no complaints about myself."

Mu Qingyan: "..."

This woman would really put gold on her face, if something like this happened, even if she didn't tell, Long Chengye would never let her be the housekeeper again.

However, when she said this, it made people feel that she was very sensible and self-aware. All of this was caused by her servants, and she was completely innocent.
