After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 64
In order to show her respect and trust to Li Juren, the old lady specially gave her instructions. If Li Juren wants to use money, the accountant will just give it to him without having to report it, but he must register it.

After such a long time, the old lady never asked about it. Now that she is leaving, she naturally needs to check the account carefully.

Although it was said that when he came to the Hou Mansion, he should do things for the Hou Mansion and take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but if Li Juren was too imprudent and spent too much money, then they would not recognize him.

All these must be recovered from Li Juren!

Jiang Fuyue could clearly see the old lady's thoughts, and she chuckled twice without meaning.

The maid came and went in a hurry, and soon came back holding the account book.

The ledger wasn't very thick, it looked like it was about two fingers thick.

The old lady nodded secretly, thinking that Li Juren was quite sensible.

The old lady took the account book and turned directly to the last page. The moment she saw the numbers clearly, her brows furrowed tightly.

"He only spent such a short time in our Marquis' Mansion, but he actually spent hundreds of taels?!" The old lady lost her voice, "What did he buy?!"

The maid knelt on the ground with a plop, her voice trembling slightly because of her nervousness: "Reply to the old lady! Ju Ren, Ju Ren has been drinking since the time he arrived. He has to send people out to buy it almost every day, and he only drinks expensive wine. ,so……"

The maid knelt on the ground, moaning secretly in her heart.

Whenever Li Juren asked people to go out to buy wine, he did not distinguish between good and bad, only high and low. He would not drink expensive wine, he was very picky.

However, the servants of the Hou Mansion are not Li Juren's servants after all. They still have to think about the Hou Mansion when doing things, so they don't dare to buy too expensive wine at all, only those that are priced within a reasonable range. Even so, He couldn't help Li Juren asking for it every day, so he spent a lot of money.

The old lady was so irritated that she picked up the account book and flipped through it twice.

If you look carefully, it’s not just wine. In fact, it’s used a lot for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it’s nothing compared to wine.

Anyway, these various things add up to seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Seven, eight hundred taels!
The old lady felt that her heart was bleeding.

"Fu Yue," the old lady said subconsciously, "I will leave this matter to you. You must let Li Juren take all the money -"

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Fuyue interrupted her directly: "Mother-in-law, please forgive me, but my daughter-in-law cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."

The old lady frowned, and Jiang Fuyue continued: "This Li Juren was originally brought in by his mother-in-law. How to deal with him? How can it be the daughter-in-law's turn to intervene.

The daughter-in-law only has respect for her mother-in-law in her heart and does not dare to do such an overbearing and disrespectful thing. She also asks her mother-in-law to forgive her. "

Although the old lady didn't finish her words, her meaning was already very clear.

She was stupid to do this kind of thing that harmed others but was not beneficial to herself.

Hearing this, the old lady's expression suddenly became complicated.

Jiang Fuyue's words... seem to be good words, but why do they always sound weird?

But it was indeed her decision to invite Li Juren over in the first place.

At the beginning, Jiang Fuyue even tried to stop her and wanted to go out and look for her, but she refused.

And if Jiang Fuyue is really asked to deal with Li Juren, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone in the Hou Mansion that Jiang Fuyue is the real master of the Hou Mansion?
The old lady gritted her teeth and looked at Li Juren, who was slumped on the chair at the door like a puddle of mud. She wished she could skin him and exchange it for money. "Come here!" The old lady slapped the table, "Bring me a basin of cold water and wake up Li Juren!"

There was nothing she could do to endure this cowardice!

Just at this time, Liu's mother came back with sobering soup. She was shocked when she heard this.

She didn't even have time to put down the sobering soup in her hand. She walked over quickly and whispered: "Old madam, no! Li Juren is also the gentleman invited by our Marquis Mansion. How can we..."

If outsiders knew that the Hou Mansion treated scholars like this, they would probably be stabbed to death with a pen!

"What's wrong!" the old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Let's see who dares to spread the word about what happened today!"

As the old lady spoke, her eyes full of anger and majesty slowly glanced around the hall. The servants knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to speak.

"Old madam, even if the servants don't say anything, how could Li Juren be so wronged and not tell anyone?" Mother Liu stamped her feet anxiously.

The old lady was afraid that she would be soft-hearted, so she simply didn't pay much attention to Mo Xiangju, but Liu's mother knew who Li Juren was. Usually, the servants in Mo Xiangju were a little negligent, even if they just walked a little louder, they would It would lead to a reprimand. If he was really thrown cold water on him, it would be nice if the whole Hou family was not in a state of uproar!

"Him? He wouldn't even dare!" The old lady sneered, "If he dares to tell anyone, I will let everyone outside know that this Li Juren is a man who only cares about fame and reputation and only loves money!"

Scholars value reputation the most, and the old lady took Li Juren's lifeline at once.

Mother Liu didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, a maid came back with a basin of cold water and poured it on Li Juren.

It was autumn now, and it was still warm under the sun, but there was already a hint of coolness in the room. After being splashed with such a basin of cold water, Li Juren immediately sat up with excitement.

His face was still a little dull, as if he didn't even know how he got here.

"Li Juren," the old lady said coldly, "Juren is such a grand event! It took only two or three months of work in our Marquis Mansion, but he spent a total of 800 taels?!"

Li Juren reacted and his expression changed slightly.

He only knew that the Hou Mansion responded to his requests, but he didn't know that the Hou Mansion also kept accounts!
If he had known earlier, he would never have been so indulgent!
Seeing that Li Juren remained silent, the old lady continued to question: "Does it mean that Li Juren feels that he is worthy of such a grand event?!"

He was just a mere Juren. He came out of that remote place and could only come to their prince's mansion because he had burnt incense in his previous life!But this Li Juren was so ignorant that he spent nearly a thousand taels of silver in one go!

This is enough for her to give herself a good reputation!

The more the old lady thought about it, the more distressed she became, and her eyes became more fierce.

What she said was really unpleasant, and Li Juren couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Not long ago, he was a honored guest in the Marquis Mansion, but now, he was being pointed at and scolded.

Li Juren really couldn't accept this kind of gap.

He stood up suddenly, and all the water accumulated on his body suddenly splashed out. Gu Feng, who was closer, suffered a disaster, with water marks on his face.
