Chapter 109
When the two entered the General's Mansion, they were only amazed, but they didn't look like they had never seen the world before. Lan Xin felt strange, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, they could come up with something like Ye Mingzhu, so they must have seen it. There are not a few jewels that have passed.

Passing through the corridor and the promenade, turning around the mirror lake and going to the gate of the old lady's Wutong courtyard, Lan Xin said to the two: "You two wait here, I will go inside and report to my mother."

Xiao Youqian hurriedly waved his hands, smiling flatteringly: "Please please."

After Lan Xin entered the cabinet, Xiao Youqian sighed: "I never thought that the General's Mansion is really full of beautiful things. You said that it would be great if we had a daughter back then, maybe the one who lives here is our daughter."

Mrs. Xiao held his ear, and said angrily: "What time is this? You still think about that bitch's daughter. Let me tell you, I'll kill that bitch a long time ago. If you don't dare to give me a hand, If you provoke women outside, don't blame me for letting you die!"

This Mrs. Xiao is also ruthless enough. Most of the affairs in Xiao's mansion are decided by Mrs. Xiao. Xiao's richness is just to eat the little property saved by his wife, and now he has to rely on his sister-in-law from the Bapin family. Too bad.

After a while, Mrs. Qiu came and took Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Youqian into Wutong Courtyard.

The old lady was sitting in the pavilion basking in the sun, watching from a distance, the royal blue gown made her lazy and dignified.

Mrs. Xiao snatched the box from Xiao Youqian's hand, leaned over obsequiously, and knelt on the ground: "I heard that the old lady has a luminous pearl here. It means that it is a good pair, so I am offering it here. Look at the old lady."

The old lady glanced at the night pearl, took a sip from the teacup, and said in a dignified voice, "For Xiao's boy?"

The couple's faces froze, and they looked at each other. Mrs. Xiao began to wipe away tears: "It turned out that the unworthy son of my family didn't live up to his expectations and did those stupid things. It's just that he knew he was wrong. Life in the military camp is worse than death. Old madam, we all have children, and we love our children very much, can you..."

"Although the Zhan family has been in the army for generations, they are upright people. They will never tolerate traitors, Yazhu, and see off guests." The old lady is not interested in their Ye Mingzhu. When a person is getting old, how can he care about those precious things? Well, what I think about is nothing more than how to make the family prosperous and youthful forever.

Mrs. Xiao knelt on the ground and cried heart-rendingly: "Madam, please, we have nothing to do. If we stay like this, the child will die. There is only such a child in my family. You are a bodhisattva." Please do me a favor and help us."

The old lady was disturbed by them and had a headache: "Send off the guests."

Yazhu approached and said to the two of them, "Please, both of you."

Xiao Youqian had no choice but to go out with Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Qiu greeted them, and said in a deep voice to the two: "You two are really confused, how could you say that it was the family from the east room!"

Xiao Youqian was a little confused: "What do you mean? Please explain clearly."

"It's been rumored that the east room is at odds with the old lady, and the east room is an abandoned woman. The old lady wanted to divorce her a long time ago, so how can she help you? You are really confused. Oh, please." Qiu The mother-in-law sighed helplessly.

Liu Yuxiang and Gu Miaoqing are coming to pay their respects, and when they see what Mrs. Qiu said to these two people, they just pretend that they have not heard it.

Liu Yuxiang is also much more honest, she is not as flamboyant as before, she treats Gu Miaoqing much better, now she took her hand, passed by Mrs Qiu, and whispered to Gu Miaoqing: "Sister, look at what Mrs. Qiu said, I reckon it must be what Sister Lan Xin wants to do again."

Before, Liu Yuxiang thought Lan Xin was a very gentle person, but now after getting to know her deeply, she realized that she was the one who hid the most deeply, and she was extremely scary.

Gu Miaoqing nodded coldly, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about it, let's just go and pay my respects."

Gu Miaoqing made it clear that she had nothing to do with it, and Liu Yuxiang suddenly felt that this Gu Miaoqing should not be underestimated. If she had been as invisible as Gu Miaoqing before, maybe it would be different.

Seeing that Gu Miaoqing and Liu Yuxiang came, the old lady put down the teacup, took two puffs from the pipe, and lay lazily. Liu Yuxiang would be pleasing: "What's the matter, old lady? Look at it today You don't look very well, how about Yuxiang squeeze the old lady's shoulders?"

The old lady puffed out the cigarette, put down the pipe and sighed: "What do the people in this mansion do? The family in the east room will also get it from me. Tanmei, go and talk about it later, let the people in this mansion Let's talk about some rules, don't let the sky make trouble."

Tanmei changed to a new cup of tea, lowered her eyes and backed away.

Gu Miaoqing stood aside, silent and silent, but Liu Yuxiang held the old lady's shoulders and moved her hair smoothly, serving her with ease.

Lan Xin said to the old lady with a distressed face: "Mother, I checked the accounts in the mansion recently, and found that there were several handkerchiefs that were missing. I don't know what to do..."

Before the words were finished, the Xiao couple ran in again, knelt on the ground, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I don't know if I should talk about something small, and it concerns the person in the east room."

The old lady put down the teacup, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Talk."

"A few days ago, the staff of Xiao's mansion saw that Wanzhu beside her went to the bank and saved a huge sum of money. I don't know where she got such a large sum of money." Xiao Youqian really saw it. It's just that she never thought that she would fall into Lan Xin's trap by mistake, and even Lan Xin didn't expect that things would be so easy, those people she had prepared before seemed to be shelved. I'm helping her.

The old lady frowned slightly, and knocked on the sandalwood table next to her with the pipe: "You said just now that the government is short of money?"

"Mother, this is the account book, and the amount of the shortfall has been written down." Lan Xin respectfully handed it to the old lady. The old lady glanced at it, flicked the teacup in her hand suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "30 taels ! Such a large sum!"

Xiao Youqian asked in surprise, "30 taels? Old madam, the amount I went to check was 29 taels."

The old lady frowned, and Lan Xin asked suspiciously: "Mr. Xiao, you mean... Elder sister Dongwu has saved nearly 30 taels in the bank? This is impossible. Such a large sum of money, could it be she Someone else saved it? Or, is it for some other reason? It’s just a coincidence of the number of words.”

Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, and said to Lanxin contemptuously: "Grandma is kind-hearted, she is not a kind-hearted person, you don't know, she steals food or money from children in Su's house, or else When I came to Xiao's mansion, I just stole some valuables and sold them, and this temperament can't be changed even when I grow up."

Lan Xin looked at the old lady, and the old lady patted Liu Yuxiang who was holding her shoulder: "What do you think?"

Liu Yuxiang secretly glanced at Gu Miaoqing, who was deaf, and said with a smile: "The old lady is embarrassing for me, let me take a look at these ledgers, even listening to them gives me a headache. However, these two figures are similar, if the old lady wants to know if it belongs to Dongwuhua, she can just check her expenses."

The old lady handed the pipe to Ya Zhu: "Go, find all the relevant people."

Lan Xin adjusted her eyes to the chrysanthemums on the table, her smile was as gentle as water.

After a while, a group of people were brought over. Su Fengjin was so dizzy that she was pushed on a wheelchair. When she was pushed in, she was still a little dazed, twitching her handkerchief uneasily, feeling flustered and flustered.

Wan Zhu knelt on the ground and said to the old lady: "Old lady, my young lady is currently ill, if there is any punishment, just let the servants take the punishment."

Lan Xin said to her: "Why are you panicking? With your mother here, whether it is true or not, I will definitely give you justice. However, you have nearly 30 taels in the bank, so you have to tell the truth."

Su Fengjin was sitting in a chair, with her head propped on one hand, her lips were bloodless, her whole body was thin, and she looked haggard in simple and elegant clothes. The old lady remembered what happened last night again, and her teeth itch with hatred for a moment. !

"Yesterday's account, I haven't settled with you yet, but today you gave me a new thread, Su Fengjin, no matter how much I give you a marriage today, I can't keep you from misbehaving!" Su Fengjin's scepter hit the ground so hard that Su Fengjin became very dizzy. When the sun came in, her mind was as confused as a paste.

Wanzhu knelt on the ground, stopped crying, just said: "My grandma has always been a clean person, the old lady is very observant."

"You are so courageous, and you dare to climb to the throne of God. If you fell the ashes of your ancestors yesterday, I will also rub your bones and throw them into ashes!" The old lady's resentful voice came into Su Fengjin's ears, and Su Fengjin suddenly felt, How much does the old lady have to hate her before she can wish to rub her bones into ashes?In fact, in the final analysis, it was only because she was an abandoned wife, and there were all kinds of unresolved grievances and misunderstandings in between.

Wanzhu was startled, she never thought that there would be such a problem, and she was a little dazed.

Su Fengjin was very dizzy, and she didn't have the heart to listen to the old lady's words. She seemed to be immersed in an ice cellar, cold and cold.

The old lady pointed at Su Fengjin and said to Yazhu: "Search."

Su Fengjin didn't understand, so Yazhu dug out a purse from Su Fengjin's bag, in the purse was exactly ten taels of silver, and a few copper coins, which coincided with the 30 taels.

It was already past noon, and Zhan Qingcheng, who was discussing matters in the Ministry of War, always felt that her eyelids were twitching violently, her mind was not on this matter at all, and her thoughts flew back to the East Room early, and she didn't know if her head was still dizzy or not. Dizzy, haven't you eaten yet? She has such a temper, like a cat. It's a rare big sun outside at the moment. Could she be basking in the sun?
Minister of the Ministry of War handed the copy to Zhan Qingcheng, and said to him: "Today, we will start to study the gun room. This is the price and the silver taels pulled by the Ministry of Households. Take a look."

Zhan Qingcheng took a look at the copywriting, and frowned: "The manpower and material resources of the gun room are a lot, let alone the side, why is it so little?"

Lord Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, sighed: "It turned out that I sent the Ministry of Industry to build the imperial mausoleum, and I ordered the Ministry of Households to draw a large sum of money to the Ministry of Industry. This is what is left."

Zhan Qingcheng finished the copywriting, and then looked at the sky outside the window, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, it was a good day, but he was very panicked, always feeling that something was going to happen.
