Chapter 50 Delay
  The monthly profit was delayed for two days for the first time, and everyone heard the news that the Hou Mansion was having a hard time.

But at this time, Liang Wanzhi invited the embroiderer from Jinxiufang to Shaoqing Building to buy herself clothes, silver hairpins and jewelry.

In order to make her grandson Song Guangze look good, Zhang personally bought Song Guangze a set of the Four Treasures of the Study Room as a marriage gift.

An account book was also listed on the things needed for the wedding banquet, and was handed over to the steward to purchase and manage.

When the stewardess took the account book, her face was extremely ugly.

Monthly benefits were not paid, and the entire Hou family went on strike.

Seeing that the Shaoqing Tower wanted the wind and the rain, and the food and clothing were luxurious, some people realized that the money from the Hou Mansion was used to build an independent courtyard for Na Lao.

So, someone was behind it, adding fuel to the flames, and soon sued Mrs. Song.

"Pa!" Mrs. Song was so angry at Xie Jinyun for the first time: "What's wrong with her? I can even drag down my servant's monthly income."

"The delay lasted for six whole days. Word spread that she, the mistress of the house, has brought shame on my Yongning Marquis Mansion. Go find her for me. I want to see what she is thinking!"

The food I've been eating recently isn't good either. It's all vegetarian and there's no meat at all.

Mrs. Song had some complaints in her heart. She had been on a vegetarian diet for ten and a half days and was in a bad mood.

Now that I heard that my servant dared to delay his monthly salary, I suddenly felt angry.

Soon, Xie Jinyun arrived at Cisong Hall.

Mrs. Zhang first started to accuse Xie Jinyun: "Jin'er, the old lady and I trust you and look up to you. We want to make you look good in the Hou Mansion so that the people below will not dare to disrespect you, the prince's wife."

"But you...you are so stupid, how can you default on the monthly interest owed to this servant? You want to ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion."

"The old lady has already summoned all the servants of the Hou Mansion. You should distribute the monthly profit to everyone in front of the old lady. Don't owe one more day."

Xie Jinyun opened his lips and sneered. Today the old lady wants to make a face for herself and slap her.

Mrs. Song was sitting in the main seat, her face drooped, silent, but her expression was extremely ugly.

Xie Jinyun was not in a hurry to defend himself. When the servants from the Hou Mansion arrived, Xie Jinyun took out the account book from the box with filigree silver and gems.

Seeing that she had brought the cards and the keys to the warehouse, Mrs. Song's restrained anger suddenly burst out: "Jin'er, you are in trouble in running the family. I can forgive you for the time being. You can first pay the monthly profits of the servants of the Hou Mansion." From now on, your mother will run the house together with you, and let her help you with your internal affairs."

"Old madam, I really can't afford any more silver or two cents of monthly profit."

"What!" Mrs. Song clenched her cane tightly, stared, and almost said, "Since the public has no money, then it comes from your own treasury, and you have to pay the monthly profit first."

However, she wanted to save face and endured it, but her face was livid. It was the first time she was so fed up with Xie Jinyun.

Zhang's voice was a bit sharper: "Didn't you tell us half a month ago that the public still had fourteen thousand taels of silver? How could it be that only fourteen thousand taels of silver had been spent in just over half a month? ?”

"Mother, teach your daughter-in-law that my husband and I are one, and I should take a longer view. If my husband has found a good future, I will have light when I step out."

"So, I will give the fourteen thousand taels to my husband for foreign affairs management and find a good job."

"And I recalculated the account a few days ago, only to find that our Marquis Mansion previously had thirty-three thousand taels, but in just three months, there has been a shortage of nineteen thousand taels without clear accounting."

"Old madam, why not take this opportunity to compare these accounts and see what the missing nineteen thousand taels were used for."

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Zhang's expressions changed greatly.

It just so happened that Liang Wanzhi walked into Cisong Hall with a pair of children, wearing gold and silver...
