The daughter is so cute

Chapter 240

There were a lot of account books, and one person couldn't read them all in a short period of time, so the old lady asked Ye Sishu to read them together. Without Aunt Qi, there was no one who needed them. Right now, only Ye Sishu could be trusted.

As time passed, the account books in my hands were changed one by one, and the faces of the old lady and Ye Sishu became more and more ugly...

I do not know how long it has been.

Bang!
The old lady slammed the account book in her hand on the table, her face was like ink.

"Ye Chaoge, what do you mean? Is this the account book of the mansion? If you don't want to give it to me, just tell me, what do you mean by bringing these fake account books to me?"

Moreover, there is a large deficit at the end of each ledger.

It is clear at a glance what it means to have a deficit in the account books.

Only out but not in, negative!

"That's right, Sister Chaoge, you were the one who promised to hand over the housekeeper that day, but now you come here with these fraudulent and fake accounts to hand over to grandma. Could it be that you were lying to us that day?"

The shade on Ye Sishu's face was comparable to that of the old lady.

After being questioned repeatedly, Ye Chaoge was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his lips, and then said unhurriedly: "The account book is real, and each book is stamped with the name of each book in the Fuchu. If grandma doesn't believe the seal of the steward, you can invite the stewards to ask them one by one."

Ask, of course you have to ask, the old lady doesn't believe Ye Chaoge at all, even if she doesn't say anything, she will find the stewards.

Not long after, the managers from various places in the mansion arrived one after another.

After waiting for everyone to arrive, the old lady threw the ledger to them: "Take a look at the seals on these ledgers, but are they your own?"

The stewards read the seals on the ledger one by one.

"Back to the old lady, it belongs to us."

The old lady's complexion suddenly sank, "Since it belongs to you, then you admitted that you took advantage of the second lady and joined forces to create such a bunch of fake accounts?"

Hearing this, the faces of the stewards changed drastically, and they shouted for grievances again and again.

"Old Madam Mingjian, even if you give me a hundred courage, I will not dare to make false accounts."

"Yes, yes, old madam, the younger ones are all old people in the mansion. The whole family is in the mansion. It's not like the younger ones don't want to live anymore. How could they make false accounts."

"I beg the old lady to see clearly..."

"Huh!" The old lady snorted heavily, "Since you don't admit to making false accounts, then you guys talk about it, what's the matter with the deficit on this book? When did our country... Ye Mansion become a shabby household that can't make ends meet?"

Broken down?
These three words are quite appropriate, isn't it just a broken house?
Who would have thought that this majestic century-old mansion has long since run out of money. After several years, it has been supported by the daughter-in-law's dowry. Who would believe it?
But that is the truth.

Ye Chaoge held up the teacup to hide the ridicule from the corners of his lips.

But this scene was still seen by Ye Sishu, "Sister Chaoge, what are you laughing at?"

As soon as these words fell, the old lady's eyes followed.

Ye Chaoge raised his head and smiled innocently, "Sister Sishu, does she even care about my smile now?"

Ye Sishu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Why, I just think my sister's smile is a bit abrupt, after all, we are talking about serious things."

"Oh, you talk about yours, I laugh at mine, is there any more questions?"

Ye Sishu bit her lip angrily, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Seeing this, the old lady glared at Ye Chaoge fiercely, and subconsciously wanted to reprimand, but she thought that it was important to check the account books right now. If it was true that Ye Chaoge had tampered with the accounts, it would not be too late to settle the old and new accounts together!
"Tell me! Did Second Miss buy you off and tamper with the account book?"

"Yes, everyone in charge, you should tell the truth. Grandmother is kind. As long as you truthfully recruit the second lady to bribe you to make false accounts, grandma will not make things difficult for you. After all, you have no other choice, but if you don't tell me..."

Speaking of this, Ye Sishu paused for a while, sighed and continued: "Everyone in charge should think carefully..."

Ye Chaoge was amused to hear it, it was really Ye Sishu's usual trick, turning black and white in a few words.

But I have to say that being able to do this is also a skill.

At least, she has no such ability.

"I, we..."

All the stewards showed embarrassing expressions, as if hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, the old lady's eyes flashed, and she sternly shouted: "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Hearing this, all the managers are in a hurry, you look at me, I look at you, the embarrassment on their faces is even greater, as if they want to say something, but dare not say it.

This scene fell into the eyes of the old lady and Ye Sishu. The two exchanged glances, and they became more convinced that the seal was real and the account book was fake. Ye Chaoge tampered with the account book!

At that moment, the old lady gave an order: "I think you don't cry until you see the coffin, come here, let me drag you down and give each of you [-] boards!"

Hearing this, the stewards were frightened.

"We said, we said... old madam, the account book is real, and we were not bribed by the second lady... As for the deficit on the account book..." The manager who was speaking swallowed, and continued stammeringly: "Old madam , our family's books over the years are full of deficits..."

The old lady's face froze suddenly.

Deficits all these years?How can it be?

The silk and satin she wears, and the delicacies she eats on weekdays, all of them are not small expenditures. How could it be a deficit account?
Thinking about it, he became even more convinced that they were bought by Ye Chaoge.

As if seeing what she was thinking, the steward who spoke just now said hastily again: "If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check the old accounts from the previous years. Once you check, you will know if the little one is lying."

Although he is only a small steward who is in charge of some errands, these stewards are aware of the specific situation in the mansion.

As early as a few years ago, this hundred-year-old mansion was struggling to make ends meet.

If the wife hadn't used her own dowry to make up for it, I'm afraid it would have become that shabby shabby household in the past two years!
Before the old lady recovered from the shock, Ye Chaoge took the initiative to ask someone to collect the old debts from the previous years.

After a while, the person came back, holding an old account with a pungent musty smell and a thick layer of dust in his hand. As he walked, the wind blown away the dust on the old account, which was choking.

"Grandmother, this is the old account of the mansion in the past few years. It is genuine. Of course, if grandma still thinks that her granddaughter is suspected of collaborating with all the stewards to make false accounts, it is self-evident. Granddaughter would not mind going to Jingzhao Yin's mansion to ask Mr. Zuo Come to the house for a walk."

The moment Ye Chaoge spoke, the old lady's hands on the table were tightly clenched together, her eyes fixed on her, wishing to make a hole in her body.
