Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 50

In less than half a month, no matter how smart Shen Ruyi is and how many helpers he has, he may not be able to find out the problems in the ledger.But she found out and listed them all, leaving the old lady speechless.

Not only Madam Shen expressed surprise, but even Lord Shen Hou was a little surprised.Only Shen Ruyi was very guilty. In fact, if she hadn't lived two lifetimes, she might not have been able to see the problems in the ledger.

Why did she know that Marquis Shen was very unwilling to favor the old lady?How did she know to use this to provoke Lord Shen?How could she find out the problems in the ledger in a short time?
It's all because this incident happened in her previous life. Before she got married, Lord Shen used her marriage to completely solve the problem of Madam Qiu's family.Of course, as one of the pawns, Shen Ruyi also got some compensation after playing her role.

Otherwise, with her timid and cowardly character in her previous life, how could Shen Ruyi have stayed safely in the palace for several years?

But there is no way to say these things now, if this matter waits for a few more years, and Shen Houye will do it himself, then basically all the teams of the masters of the Hou Mansion can be changed.When Shen Ruyi takes it out now, the effect is naturally much worse than it was back then.

But that can't be helped, even if you wait a few more years, Shen Ruyi's actions still can't achieve the effect of Shen Houye. The two people are in different positions and can do the same things.

Shen Ruyi now urgently wants to help herself and Mrs. Shen gain a firm foothold, so as long as she cuts off Nanny Qiu's family, her goal will be achieved.

The old lady wanted to faint, so she had to get this matter out of the way first.But Mrs. Shen was standing on the side, seeing that the old lady's face was not right, she hurried over to pinch her: "Old lady, are you dizzy again? Let me tell you, you don't need to worry about these things yourself. The evidence is conclusive. Ruyi and the others can just deal with it, and if it’s not good, there’s still Hou Ye, let Hou Ye write a post and send him to the Yamen, we don’t have to touch it at all.”

The old lady couldn't get dizzy even if she wanted to. If she opened her mouth, she could at least reduce her losses, and she could find a way to make Qiu Momo and the others hide the rest of the matter.If she didn't speak up, she would only leave it to Shen Ruyi and her mother and daughter to deal with her, and her staff would be gone later.

"Ruyi, what are you going to do with it?" The old lady asked after panting for a long time, Shen Ruyi blinked in confusion: "Well, I originally thought that it would be fine for Xiaoqiu to fill in the gap. However, 3 taels of silver is not a small amount, the monthly bills of my mother and I for ten years add up to less than 3 taels."

Shen Ruyi blinked, and looked at the old lady very innocently: "Although our Hou Mansion is a lenient family, if we can endure this kind of thing, it is not lenient. Grandma, you have been an old lord all your life, so you are more generous than me." Ruyi understands this truth better, tell me, am I right?"

The old lady had no choice but to nod, 3 taels is really not a small amount, no matter which family it is, if such a slave is found, it is a trivial matter to beat the whole family to death. The adults in the court who embezzled more than 800 taels of silver will be exiled , more than 3000 taels will be beheaded.How can this servant of the Hou Mansion be more valuable than the adults in the court?
"So, this matter can't be handled lightly. That's my plan. Grandmother, please listen to me. If there is anything my granddaughter missed, you can give me some pointers." Shen Ruyi smiled and glanced at Qiu Mama. Momo, her eyes are unclear, but she admires Momo Qiu in her heart. She really has been with the old lady for a long time. Although her face is not good at this moment, she doesn't show any panic. However, the calmer she is, the more this person will It is impossible to stay.

"For one thing, the money in our house cannot be embezzled for nothing, so just now, I have borrowed a few people from my father, and temporarily surrounded Xiaoqiu's house, waiting for your grandmother to say, let's You can go in and check it out.”

The old lady stared: "How can a family like ours steal the slave's house? There is no shame in it!"

"Grandmother, 3 taels of silver is not a trivial matter. Could it be that because Xiaoqiu's family is slaves and we are masters, we don't want the 3 taels of silver?" Shen Ruyi frowned slightly: "It is the emperor who wants to copy corrupt officials. Family, I didn't say it was embarrassing."

The old lady's face was dark, and Shen Ruyi continued: "Secondly, all of Xiaoqiu's family members have to be sent to the yamen. Grandma also knows that if this corrupt official is executed, the family members will also suffer. Since Xiaoqiu I did such a thing, and I must have considered the consequences early on, so..."

Little Qiumao is not alone. At this moment, standing behind her is Qiumao, shopkeeper Qiu, butler Daegu, Qiumao's eldest son and daughter-in-law, and Qiumao's youngest daughter daughter.Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, there are quite a few people in Xiaoqiu's family.

"No! There is no rule of consecutive sittings in our house!" The old lady refused straight away, and Shen Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Grandmother means that only Mother Xiaoqiu is dealt with?"

The old lady pinched the Buddhist beads on her wrist, and looked at Shen Ruyi gloomyly: "Whoever does the work, then he will bear it."

"If Grandma Xiaoqiu bears it alone, the 3 taels of silver will definitely lose her life. In addition, Grandma Xiaoqiu's father-in-law may not be able to escape the charge of not reporting what he knew. But it's very fair, so Xiaoqiu and his wife are probably going to die."

Shen Ruyi sighed sympathetically: "I only have pity on Xiao Qiu's children, and they will have no father or mother in the future. However, if Xiao Qiu can confess the instigator behind the scenes, the crime will be lightened. Although he is going to be exiled, the place and time of exile can be managed, if not done well, he will be able to return in ten years, at least his life will be saved."

Aunt Qiu's face turned even paler, and Shen Ruyi looked at the old lady with a smile: "Grandmother, I think it's better for us to send this person to the yamen. Aunt Qiu is just a nurse in charge of the inner courtyard. There are so many of them. As for money, let me see, Mother Qiu doesn't have the guts to go greedy, there must be someone instigated behind it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Nanny Qiu, who forced a smile: "What does the eldest girl mean? Could it be that you suspect the old slave?"

"Nurse Qiu's words are really meaningless." Shen Ruyi said with a smile, and she didn't respond. Today she came to negotiate terms with the old lady. Given the current situation and status of her and Mrs. Shen, it is impossible to make a deal all at once. The one who sent Mother Qiu's family to the yamen.

It is not what Shen Ruyi wants to die. What Shen Ruyi wants to do is to maximize the interests of herself and her mother.For example, replace the nanny in charge of the inner courtyard, replace the nanny in charge of purchasing, replace the chef in the big kitchen, suppress the nanny Qiu in the old lady's yard, and give Mrs. Shen Er and Mrs. Shen a shock. Let the old lady's vitality be greatly injured, and she will live in peace for at least three years.

Little Qiu's embezzlement cannot be done by one person alone. Along this line, there are many people who can dig it out.

Shen Ruyi doesn't mind leaving one or two for the old lady. If this matter is done, the most important thing is to free up Mrs. Shen to have a baby.

Of course, if it wasn't for Master Shen, no matter who they changed, the people from Madam Qiu's faction would not be able to be wiped out.Especially Mrs. Shen, the reputation of a filial woman is a protective card if used well, but sometimes, this thing is also a hindrance.

Mrs. Shen is a well-known filial woman in both the government and the public. As soon as she came back, she dismissed all the servants who had served her mother-in-law for more than ten years.Those who know say that she manages the house well, can bear the burden of the mistress, and is majestic and dignified.But if you don’t know, you should guess why you sent out all the people around your mother-in-law.

In this world, there are many people who can stand and talk without back pain. If Shen Ruyi really sent away the whole Qiumao family today, someone should persuade Mrs. Shen later - isn't she just a slave?Your mother-in-law is getting old, this person is easy to use, why do you have to send her away in a hurry?Wait a few more years, why don't you just do whatever you want?
It is easy to create a reputation, but it is very troublesome to maintain it.Sometimes Shen Ruyi wants to do whatever she wants, but when she thinks about the end of a woman who doesn't want fame, Shen Ruyi has to suppress those thoughts.

"Nurse Qiu has served grandma for decades. There is hard work without credit. Besides, grandma is used to being served by grandma Qiu. Even if it is for grandma, I will not touch grandma Qiu. Even if it is grandma Qiu If Mammy really has something unclean in this matter, I will leave Mammy Qiu to continue serving grandma and let Mammy Qiu take the blame and make meritorious deeds, so don't be afraid of Mammy Qiu."

Shen Ruyi said with a smile, looking at Nanny Qiu's eyes, made Nanny Qiu who was about to cry, trembled, and suddenly couldn't speak.

Shen Ruyi clapped her hands and shouted to the outside: "Bring Xiaoqiu and the others here. After all, they have served grandma for decades. Maybe they will never come back after going to the yamen this time. Why? You have to kowtow to grandma and say goodbye."

Someone outside responded, and soon, four stout nuns dragged people in.The one whose hands and feet were bound and whose mouth was gagged was Nanny Qiu, and the one who was dragged to the ground was Nanny Qiu's eldest daughter, who was 14 years old this year, and was originally working in the third room, and it was Nanny Qiu's youngest daughter who was dragged in. , six years old this year, still ignorant of what happened.

Nanny Xiaoqiu's father-in-law, butler Xiaoqiu, and Nanny Xiaoqiu's two sons were detained in the outer courtyard because of gender issues.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Qiu's youngest daughter stared at Qiu: "Grandmother, grandma, save me! I'm in pain. These people broke into our house and arrested my brother and father, and my mother and me. Grab the eldest sister! Grandma, please save me!"
