boudoir

Chapter 136
As soon as the words were finished, the hall was completely silent, no one expected that these two people would bite such a big hole, not only the old man got up suddenly, even the Liang family and Qi family who were present were all wide-eyed. Looking at Mrs Yu with wide eyes, no wonder Mrs Yu is scrambling to take charge of the household chores. If you get a few thousand taels of silver casually, who wouldn't want such an errand?
Aunt Su saw the right moment and interjected: "Fourth Madam, don't talk nonsense. The matter of embezzlement of the public's money is of great importance. The eldest lady has dedicated herself to the public. How can she be this kind of person?"

Nie sneered: "Who is she? Don't pretend to be a good person here! Even if you pretend, you won't recognize your goodness! If you don't believe me, you can call the Zhuangzi's stewards and Qian Changsheng to confront her !"

"Shut up!" Shi Yu couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out, pointing at her with a cold face, and said, "Today's discussion is about the nine girl poisoning and murdering the old lady, you are talking nonsense and blood here for what--"

"That's enough!" The old man slapped the table violently, choking Yu's remaining words in his throat.He Cunli and the others all stood up, staring at them with various expressions.The old man stared at Yu Shi with wide eyes, his chest heaved and fell, like a fighting beast full of anger.Yu Shi was also frightened by his appearance, she took two steps back in panic, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

"He Zhong! Go and call me Qian Changsheng and his wife!" The old man ordered solemnly, without taking his eyes off Mrs. Yu.

Yu Shi turned her head away to avoid this gaze, then looked down the corridor, Caiqin was there.Seeing her looking over, Caiqin quickly went down quietly.

Liuli hurriedly said: "Old Master, quickly ask someone to block the door, and no one in this yard is allowed to go out!"

Nie returned to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Since we want to check the account and confront it, we must not let it out! The gate of this courtyard must be guarded. Yu has many minions, so it is inevitable that he will cover it up in secret!"

Without waiting for the old man to answer, the Liang family and the Qi family stood up and ordered the servants around them: "Hurry up and ask someone to guard the gates on both sides of the courtyard. If anyone leaks even the slightest bit of information, they will serve you with sticks!"

Surprised and angry, Yu said, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm a thief?!"

Brothers He Pusong and He Xiuyuan said in unison in a rare way: "Sister-in-law is worrying too much, we are just here to prove sister-in-law's innocence." After speaking, the two of them looked at each other and stood at the door tacitly.Everyone has a share in the public money, and this kind of thing related to self-interest can make people feel more united than arresting the poisoning criminals.In the eyes of their brothers and sisters-in-law, Mrs. Yu is not only greedy for money, but for justice!

Yu Shi was furious, and looked at He Cunli, but He Cunli also had a look of horror on his face, and he glared at her with his fists clenched.

Liuli is very carefree, Nie's move is really right, this woman is very selfish and vicious, because of the talent show, she has long been at odds with Yu's, but she just held on to a thin layer of paper and never opened it. At that time, Hu Jin's confession was on Liuli's body, and there was a risk of being shaken out by her at any time. How could she still prevent Yu's identity from tearing her face apart?

The best way to resolve Liuli's current crisis is to direct the disaster to Shi Yu. Shi Nie is not stupid, but Yu Shi never dreamed that she would turn to her for the illegitimate daughter they once regarded as a thorn in their eyes. fire!Liuli didn't know that the Yu family had the inside story of corrupting the public, but she knew that there was no other good way to deal with Yu's strength, except for Nie's shameless approach!Nie used to be like Yu's dog. Even if the words she said against Yu were only five percent true, how could others not listen to them and take ten percent?Not to mention she even asked Qian Changsheng and others to confront her by name!
Things have changed to this point, and everyone has changed from their disgust towards Liuli to their enthusiasm for criticizing the thieves. Aunt Su's eyes were burning, she walked to Liuli's side calmly, and said in a low voice: "It's time for us to take action too." Liuli She nodded slightly, and looked at Yu Shi again.

Qian Changsheng and his wife were quickly brought along. He Zhong had been by the old man's side for many years, so he was naturally tight-lipped, so it was suddenly heard from the main courtyard. Ann, she stepped aside.

"Qian Changsheng!" The old man slapped the table violently, and said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, how much did Zhuangzi pay in total for last year's offering last year?"

Qian Changsheng was startled, and subconsciously went to look at Mrs Yu, who stared at him with wide-open eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

"The old lady asked you a question, why don't you answer it quickly!" Mrs. Qi reprimanded sharply.

Qian Changsheng stood out of the hall slightly, and said slowly: "If you go back to the old lady, since the eldest lady is in charge, the annual offerings will be collected by the eldest lady herself. You need to ask the eldest lady to know the exact amount."

He Pusong said: "What about the account books of your general treasury?!"

"This..." Qian Changsheng was speechless, and frowned and looked at Mrs Yu.Yu said with a serious face, "Is everyone able to see the account books? You also believed Nie's nonsense and framed me. It can be seen that you are all like her, wishing to blow me down so that you can sit in this seat!" "

"It doesn't matter whether we want to sit in this lady's sister-in-law or not, you just need to hand over the account books." He Xiuyuan said.

Liu Li thought to herself, if Yu Shi handed over this account book, it might be a fake account if it turns out, if she wants to trample her to death in this matter, she has to find a really useful account book.So she quietly said to Aunt Su: "She must still have the real account book, you can quickly ask Hengwei to find it in the long room in the name of the old lady, hurry up!"

Aunt Su nodded: "I know where to put it, it won't be long." She retreated behind the curtain to invite Heng Wei, and ordered it to go down.

Here, Mrs. Yu is still desperately denying: "You want to ask Qian Changsheng to come out to confront you, but now that they have come out, they haven't said anything, and you have to look at the account books. Didn't you already make a secret agreement to use this to tear down my account? The account books are here General Treasurer, you go and get it! The old lady is poisoned, and you don’t pursue what should be pursued, but you are entangled with me. What crime did I do to be besieged by such a gang of you!"

"Don't worry, Da Furen, the matter of poisoning will be investigated, you should explain this clearly before talking about it!"

Liuli said with a sneer.

Mrs. Yu became the target of everyone, and she had already kept her anger in her heart, but when she interrupted her suddenly, the anger in her chest was aroused immediately, and when the thunder was too fast to cover her ears, she saw her rushing towards Liuli with a stride, He slapped her across the face with a flick of his hand!Liuli had already raised her vigilance every second today, and before she could reach her, she had already quickly walked to the old man's side, and said anxiously: "The old man save me!"

Yu Shi couldn't hold back, and slapped the old lady with a slap. He Yuli stretched out his hand from the side to pinch her wrist, and slapped her to the ground with another slap, "Diaofu! Who are you going to hit?!"

Yu Shi received a slap from him, immediately covered her face and raised her head, looking at him in disbelief.She was the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, Shuyuan, a well-known aristocrat in Beijing at that time. She married him who was only a seventh-rank pawn at the time. She thought that her status would give him a bright future, and his fame The suave style of the capital would bring her enviable happiness, but she did what she gave him, and the happiness he promised to her has finally received him a merciless slap to this day!

She trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her cheeks, but years of experience made her grit her teeth and stood up.

"It seems that what the fourth lady said is right. Men in your He family are probably proud of beating their wives. But He Yuli, let me tell you, you can have such a scene today because you humbled yourself in front of my father back then. You just got it in exchange! If you slap me today, I will definitely give you back ten slaps in the future! Even if you beat me to death today, I will be a ghost tomorrow and I will not let you go!"

He Yuli felt guilty when he heard this, and turned his face away, but there was still a look of resentment on his face.

The people sent by the old man to fetch the account books from the general treasury had already returned, Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Qi couldn't wait to go over to check them together, and Mrs. Nie found two abacus for the accountant to do the calculations.However, after a long time of calculation, the accountant said: "The number is correct, there is nothing wrong with it."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Yu sneered: "Are you satisfied now? The accounts are correct! Where are those people who slandered me for embezzling the public bank? You stand up and give me justice!" She said to Nie Shi rushed over.Nie screamed, and hurriedly hid behind He Xiuyuan, Yu grabbed him and shouted, "Fourth brother, get out of the way! You are usually made useless by her, today I will teach her a lesson for you!"

He Xiuyuan clamped her arm with one hand, said with a cold face: "Whether I can bear it or not is my own business, don't worry about it!"

Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, struggling desperately, but couldn't get out.He had no choice but to sulk and shout: "Aren't you the most afraid of me? How dare you treat me like this today!"

Liuli was anxious why Hengwei didn't turn around, but Aunt Su looked outside and nodded, "Here we are." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Hengwei coming in with a cloth bag.Liuli hurriedly opened it and saw that it was indeed the account book. After a quick glance at a few pages, it was indeed the account of the government's income and expenditure, so she couldn't control that much. She took it to the old man and said, "There is still this account book here. Aunt Su found it from the long room, please take a look at it."

The old man took it suspiciously, after a second look, his expression changed, and he hurriedly asked the accountant to do the accounting again.

Mrs. Yu heard that there was something different here, so she couldn't help but forget to come. Hearing that it was Aunt Su who found it from the long room, and seeing the cover of the account book clearly, her face turned pale.

Everyone stared intently at the two tents, and suddenly the sound of abacus being moved could be heard in the hall.The accountant's countenance became more and more dignified. In the end, the two exchanged a look, and then handed over the account book to the other party for re-checking.The old man saw Mingtang from it, and walked up to the two of them, as if personally supervising them.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of counting beads finally stopped, the accountants stood up, bowed their waists and said to the old man: "Return to the old man, this account book has the same name as the one just now, but the number of silver coins is thousands of miles apart."

Everyone couldn't help but gather here for two steps: "How about it?"
