Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 169
The accountant said: "All these accounts are recorded. If Madam doesn't believe it, go back and ask the old bustard of the brothel."

Li Xiangyu was very annoyed, "Okay, you don't have to explain everything in detail, but are there so many expenditures in the government? How is it possible?" With such a large expenditure in the government, it doesn't mean that Yuan Su has nothing left at all these years ?If there is nothing left, it may not be enough.

The accountant said: "Ma'am, don't say anything else, let's just say that there are three birthday banquets a year, not including the princess's own, but just the old lady, the old general and the general, how much money will it cost? You have been following me before. By the side of the Princess, one should have a basic understanding of various expenses? Moreover, the monthly salary of servants in the mansion is a little higher than that of other houses, and over the years, this sum of money is quite a lot."

Li Xiangyu was speechless, and she began to realize that she was the one who suffered in the end in this general ledger.

Qinghe said indifferently: "Continue talking."

The accountant replied: "Yes, princess, the money spent is 13 taels, and the income is calculated separately, which are the general's income and the princess's income. The general's income is 590 yuan per month. , twenty stones of rice and wheat, three stones of added rice, five stones of noodles, two catties of Wanzi tea, five bolts of spring and winter silk, seventeen bolts of silk, and ten pieces of money for clothing. If it is all converted into silver, it will be nearly 130 taels of silver in one year, and more than 3000 taels of silver in eight years. Among them, there are gifts from the emperor after the victory, which add up to about 2 taels of silver. Therefore, these years, the general’s There is indeed a lot of silver, and there are also 2 and 18 taels. The 13 taels that were spent, after deducting the general's, are all the private money of the princess. Every year, the princess can get the Ningguo Houfu With Ningjun Prince's Mansion subsidizing 590 taels of silver, the Empress Dowager in the palace often grants gifts, all of which belong to the public, and there are counts one by one."

After finishing speaking, Mr. accountant smiled slightly, "The general has withdrawn about 4000 taels of silver from the account room over the years. These princesses do not enter the account, but let the servants calculate it separately, and it is not included in the total expenses of the mansion, because the princess checks the accounts every year. , once it is found that the money is insufficient, it will be subsidized from her private house. The part of the general's private expenses is the silver subsidized by the princess himself, 4000 taels a year, and 2000 taels in eight years. The 2000 taels For silver, the slave didn't enter or pay the account, but the princess paid for it personally."

The faces of Yuan Su and Li Xiangyu became paler the more they listened, and the more they calculated the debt, the more they lost money. In the end, if they really calculated it seriously, wouldn't they have to pay her back a lot of money?

Yuan Su's mind went blank. For so many years, she has subsidized so much money to the Fuchu?She never said that every time he went to withdraw silver, it was about three or four hundred taels a month, which was used to eat and drink with friends outside. Although his mother always kept him away from those drinking and meat friends, she said that money could not buy him happiness, he was happy If the money should be spent, it should be spent.

And he never had a specific concept of how much his salary was calculated. He thought that his money could never be spent.

He had always been spoiled by her, and he didn't know it.

Qinghe sat on the chair and looked at Yuan Su quietly. Every word the accountant said was like a hammer hitting her heart, causing a dull pain.

She digs her heart and soul, regardless of paying, and this is the result in exchange.

Li Xiangyu didn't dare to say anything at all. After the calculation, this is the result?

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said sadly: "Qinghe, Qinghe, if you were still alive today, my sister-in-law would beat you to death. How confused are you? How stupid are you? What are you doing for A man like Yuan Su almost emptied his family? You dote on him, love him, and do everything for him. What is the result? He married another bride a few days after you died .”

Yuan Su only felt that his heart was beaten hard by something, with indescribable fear, indescribable panic, indescribable pain, and then, the heart contracted slowly, as if being held by a big hand , squeezed so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

He didn't know, really didn't know.

The people present were deathly silent, no one spoke, and they were all feeling sad for Princess Qinghe.

It was Chang Chun who asked indifferently, "Yuan Su, you probably never loved Qing He?"

Yuan Su raised his head abruptly, then subconsciously shook his head, "No, I have loved..."

He said he loved, not love, which proves that his love has expired.

Changchun smiled indifferently, "I loved it, yes, I loved it, but I didn't love it anymore." She stood up, "Since I don't love it anymore, it's good for everyone to count everything."

Yuan Su knew that he could no longer maintain his affectionate side to deceive the world, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Princess Changchun, "It is undeniable that Qinghe has paid a lot for me, but whether she loves me or not, I'm afraid that even she herself will not know." I don't understand."

"Oh? There seems to be complaints. Tell me, Qinghe has done so much for you, how did you analyze that Qinghe doesn't love you." Changchun smiled instead of anger.

Yuan Su's heart turned cold, and he went all out and said: "All she did seems to be for me, but in fact it is for her own reputation. She elevates herself, belittles me, and speaks of me in front of everyone. It’s not worth it, saying that I rely on her Qinghe to have what I am today, everyone in Beijing looks down on me, this is how she loves me? Also, I was injured once, I asked her, once I die one day, ask her if She is willing to die with me, but she thought for a long time, and only replied, no. I was clearly joking, even if she coaxes me, it is better than throwing out the word "no."

Wang was suddenly furious, "Qinghe has always cherished your reputation and your face, so much money was spent to protect your face. If you say that she said bad things about you outside, I wouldn't believe it even if she was killed, but you Tell me, who did she speak ill of you to? Tell her, and I will confront her. "

Yuan Su thought to himself, I can't afford to pay back so much money today anyway, so if you want to make a fuss, make a fuss in Dali, lest everyone always guess that I am sorry for you Qinghe.

Thinking of this, he looked back at Li Xiangyu, "Okay, tell them, Qinghe has spoken ill of me to whom, saying that I am not a man, that I am worthless, that I don't know how to lead soldiers and fight, that I rely on her Qinghe's family is only today, you say, tell them, not afraid of confrontation."

Li Xiangyu's face was pale, she knew in her heart, where did Qinghe say anything bad about him?All the good things are said about her.

Seeing that she didn't know how to react, Yuan Su thought she was frightened, and said: "I remember what you told me, Mrs. An, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Chen, and even the concubines and concubines in the palace!"

"Come here," Qinghe sternly shouted, "invite Mrs. An, Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Chen to the general's mansion, and then invite the concubine Ru and the concubine Shun out together, and say that this is the order of Princess Zhenguo. Anyone , must not be disobeyed."

Hearing this, Li Xiangyu's legs went limp and he almost couldn't stand upright.
