After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Chapter 7 She cheated me

Ah Si held Aunt Liu's arm, and immediately let go after the person stood firm, and stood back to avoid suspicion.

"Auntie, be careful, don't fall."

He is well-behaved and polite, and can't find anything wrong with him.

Aunt Liu wished she had fallen to death.

"The Marquis of Jing'an is considered a relative of the emperor, and this marriage is under the direct control of the Holy Emperor. Does this concubine want to live if she treats her legitimate daughter like this?"

"What do you know? It has been said for a long time that Master Shu spoiled his concubines and killed his wife. Maybe Master Shu was right about this."

……

The discussion reached Aunt Liu's ears, and she was startled into a cold sweat.

Doting on a concubine and destroying his wife is a serious crime. Shu Yuanbai finally climbed to the official position of minister. If his official position is affected, Shu Yuanbai will never show mercy!
Ah Si has already sent the dowry list to her, "Auntie, check the account? In case you make a mistake, you have to make another trip."

The smile on Aunt Liu's face was uglier than crying.

She pretended to look at it, pretending to be shocked.

"Ah, that's wrong. This is the dowry I bought for Wan'er. It's not for the eldest lady. The servants got it wrong."

Ah Si put away the list and said, "I really made the wrong exchange. That'll be easy. Just exchange it."

Aunt Liu smiled even more ugly and had to ask someone to bring out the dowry that should have belonged to Shu Yan.

After meeting each other one by one, Ah Si pointed at a few of them and said, "Why are these still missing?"

Aunt Liu concealed her guilt and said: "I don't know where I received it for a while. Why don't we send someone to the Marquis Mansion immediately before we can find it?"

Ah Si was surprised and raised his voice unconsciously.

"Why are the dowries of young ladies from aristocratic families so scattered all over the place, and I still can't find them for a while?"

More and more people gathered in front of the door to join in the fun. Shu Yuanbai couldn't afford to lose his old face, so he asked Aunt Liu to return the things quickly, then he tossed his sleeves and left.

Aunt Liu had no choice but to grit her teeth and whisper to her mother-in-law to fetch the good things from her house and put them up first.

Ah Si reminded, "Auntie, don't forget the property deeds and account books of those ten shops."

Aunt Liu's fingernails were poking her palms to the point of bleeding.

After a while, the mother-in-law brought all the house deeds and ledgers. When Ah Si opened the ledgers, Aunt Liu's eyes darkened again.

She rushed to close the ledger, "It was really hard to find those items for a while. I asked people to fill in a few items first. Once those items are found, I immediately asked people to send them to the Hou Mansion."

After saying that, Aunt Liu generously stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.

Ah Si understood, collected the money, took the account book and house deed, asked people to move things into the carriage, and returned to the Marquis Mansion.

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief, asked someone to close the door quickly, turned around and greeted her eighteen generations of ancestors.

"Auntie, I want you to come over immediately."

Aunt Liu's heart skipped a beat.

Just as she stepped into the study, something flew towards her. Aunt Liu couldn't avoid it, and she was hit hard and her eyes were black.

It was only after he fell that he saw clearly that what had hit him was Shu Yuanbai's favorite square inkstone.

"I gave you the money to take care of the property. Is this how you manage the house? What's going on with the dowry?"

Aunt Liu covered her bleeding forehead and said sadly: "Master, my family has spent so much money, and you have been working hard on your career in the past two years. Master's salary alone is not enough. The family can't make ends meet. I'm like this It was because I had no choice but to make this decision. Who knew that the eldest lady would be anxious to see the dowry just after she got married. Master, it’s difficult to have a concubine."

How could Shu Yuanbai know nothing?

"Master, the eldest lady just wants to embarrass you on purpose. She...ouch!"

Before Aunt Liu could finish her words, she was kicked in the heart by Shu Yuanbai again. She almost didn't come up with a breath and went on the spot.

"From now on, you will no longer be in charge of the house. No matter what method you think of, you should fill in the missing dowry as soon as possible and send it to the Marquis Mansion."

Aunt Liu was shocked. "Master!" If it weren't for his instruction, how dare a little concubine like me dare to move the dowry of her legitimate daughter so arrogantly?

Now that all the money has been spent, she is left to make up for it alone?

Looking at the older woman with a bloody head, Shu Yuanbai's eyes showed disgust, "Then He Wangzhou is useless, and Shu Yan is easy to control, but this marriage is a marriage granted by the Holy God, so you can't have this idea. If you do it, If it’s not good, you can go to Zhuangzi to take care of yourself.”

After leaving these words, Shu Yuanbai strode away.

Jinganhou Mansion.

Ah Si got He Wangzhou's nod and handed all the dowry to Shu Yan. Shu Yan went through the list one by one and understood that Liu had taken out his own things to pay part of the dowry first.

When handing over the account book, Ah Si told me honestly, "Aunt Liu gave me ten taels of silver and didn't let me look at the account book."

He reminded Zhi bluntly, how could Shu Yan not understand?

There is a problem with the ledger.

Shu Yan was originally the daughter of a general. Her mother forced her to learn how to read and write, and she couldn't even read the account books.

Seeing He Wangzhou lying lazily and looking at the storybook in his hand, she went over and took away the storybook and put the account book into his hand with a smile in her eyes.

"Husband, please help me settle the account."

Her voice when begging for help is always so nice.

He Wangzhou turned over and sat up, flipping through two pages at random, then pointed to one of them and said: "On July 23, I bought fifteen pieces of Jinmian, earning seven taels for 25 cents each. I sold eight pieces that month and got 34 Two 89 pieces of silver."

Shu Yan counted them on his fingers, but he really couldn't count them.

Seeing that she was so stupid that she wanted to ask someone to borrow her fingers to do calculations, He Wangzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud, rolled up the account book and hit her lightly on the forehead.

"stupid."

He called Ah Si to bring him an abacus and taught her how to count with beads.

Shu Yan couldn't understand or understand, but in the end it was He Wangzhou who placed the last bead and said the right number.

Doesn't this mean that the money earned from selling it is less than the money paid for purchasing it?

"She cheated me out of my money!"

Shu Yan was so angry that he slapped the table, "You don't just want someone's dowry, but they also want my money!"

He Wangzhou closed the ledger, "These are all old accounts. According to their calculation, all the ledgers show that the greedy money is enough to buy half of the Treasure Pavilion."

Shu Yan brought all the account books to him, "Husband, you have nothing to do, why don't you do the calculations for me."

"I?"

He Wangzhou pushed the account book away, lay down on the pillow again, picked up the storybook and continued reading.

"I just lied to you, I won't settle the score."

Just as Shu Yan was about to speak, He Wangzhou cut off her words first.

He casually pointed at the abacus over there with his slender and beautiful fingers, "I just dialed it a few times and said a few random words. If you want to play, you can go and play."

Such a perfunctory and impatient tone, coupled with his reputation as a playboy and useless, certainly seems like this.

Shu Yan took out the account book again, and after reading it twice carefully, he followed He Wangzhou's example and picked up the abacus.

He Wangzhou moved the script in front of his eyes and watched in amusement as she followed her example.

But within a moment, the smile on his lips stopped there.

Every step she made was correct.

She learned it after just watching it once.
