Chapter 42
"Ma'am, the master is back." The little servant girl had sharp eyes, and when she saw the third master come back, she hurriedly informed the elder servant girl of Zhaofu. She entered the room and said back to Mrs. Zheng.

"Didn't you say it will take a few days to come back? Why did you come back today?" Frowning slightly, Mrs. Zheng muttered in a low voice, and stood up to greet the door.

At this moment, Shen Pei had already returned to Qingfengyuan, and went straight to the main courtyard. Seeing Mrs. Zheng coming out, he grabbed her and walked into the house.

Seeing this situation, Mother Kang hurriedly called the others, but did not follow into the room. Mrs. Zheng thought that he was looking for someone to see the day that was suitable for conception, and wanted to drag her into the inner room. After entering the room, he dragged her He sat on the soft couch by himself.

"Husband, let's go indoors." It would be too embarrassing to do that, she reached out to cover the collar around her neck, and looked at Shen Pei.

"Ma'am, where are you thinking? I have something to discuss with you." Seeing Zheng like this, Shen Pei let go of her, and raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his head.

"That's it." Zheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you want to say, my husband?"

"Speaking of which, but this time the business is not going well, why did you come back so soon?" Some time ago, Shen Pei went out, and before leaving, he said that this time he was going on a long trip and it would take some days before he could come back.

"Ah? Ah! It didn't go well, that's why I came back early, ma'am, how much money is in the account now?" The chief house was not there, Cui's health was not good before, and Zhongfei was held in Zheng's hands.

On weekdays, if there is a major event, the money is paid from the account of the public office, and if it is a private matter, the money is paid out of his own pocket.

For example, organizing Shen Xu's 30th birthday is at the public's account, and buying a concubine for Shen Pei is at Sanfang's own account.

"Is the master asking about the account of the public office, or our own?" Upon hearing the account, Zheng's heart became alert.

"Of course it's our own." Looking around, Shen Pei got up and poured himself a cup of tea, "I have some things that need to be paid in silver, see if you can spare me 5000 taels of silver."

"5000 taels?" Zheng's voice rose instantly, and his eyes widened, "That's fine, why do you need so much money, Master?"

"Besides, the business at home is managed by the master. You said that the business is not going well this time. If there is something wrong, shouldn't it be the official account?"

As she said this, Zheng quickly thought in her heart that there was still some money on Sanfang's books, which was for people to see.

Secretly, she still has an account, but even so, it is not so easy to take out 5000 taels.

"Oh, don't ask, just get me the banknote quickly!" Putting down his cup, Shen Pei looked at Mrs. Zheng.

Originally, Mrs. Zheng frowned, but she relaxed when she saw him like this. She leaned on the soft couch and looked at Shen Pei with a half-smile, "Master, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Because Shen Pei is in charge of the Shen family's business, he can always pick something out for himself, both overtly and secretly.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be short of money, especially 5000 taels per mouth.

Could it be that you raised a little one outside?

"Don't worry about the outside affairs, you woman, hurry up and bring me the money! Don't think I don't know, the amount on our account is just for people to see, and you still have a secret account in your hand."

Shen Pei's words made Zheng's eyes narrow. There was indeed a secret account, but she never told her husband, and he didn't usually ask, so how did he know?

Could it be that there are those who eat inside and outside by my side?
"On weekdays, if you subsidize my mother's family, I don't care about it. Hurry up and get me the money, or..."

"Otherwise what?" Zheng Shi stood up and stared at Shen Pei.

"You've been married to me for so many years, but you haven't given me a son or a daughter. What do you think?"

Sister Kang stood guard outside the room, hearing that something was wrong in the room, she waved her hand to signal the others to step back, while she took a few steps forward.

It sounded like there was a quarrel, so she quickly lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Standing in front of the soft couch, Zheng Shi stared at Shen Pei with red eye circles, Shen Pei seemed a little guilty, so don't look away from her.

"Master and madam, you two are always in harmony, what's the matter today? Talk about something slowly, don't hurt the relationship between husband and wife."

While talking, she came to Mrs. Zheng and stretched out her hand to tug on her clothes.

"Mommy, Master is going to divorce me, I'm dead!" Seeing Nanny Kang, Mrs. Zheng hugged her and started crying. Nanny Kang was startled, and turned to look at Shen Pei.

After Zheng's crying, Shen Pei felt more guilty, and stretched out his hand to touch his nose, "This... Isn't this a rush? I just want some money, so why not?"

"5000 taels of silver, is that a bit?" Zheng said angrily while crying.

Mother Kang comforted Mrs. Zheng, but she was shocked again, "Madam, don't worry, maybe the master really needs it urgently. We definitely don't have so much in our account, but if the master needs it, we always have to find a way."

Helping Mrs. Zheng to sit down, Mother Kang winked at her.

She knew in her heart that her wife was in charge of the central government. If she hadn't often subsidized her mother's family, let alone 5000 taels, she would have given out more!
But the problem is, the master is in charge of the family's business, so he shouldn't be short of money, so why would he talk to his wife?
With Sister Kang in the middle to persuade them to make peace, the expressions of the couple eased up a bit.

It's just that Shen Pei still doesn't want to tell the reason, and Mrs. Zheng has also planned to take out 5000 taels, either to recover the account from outside, or to embezzle part of the public house, or, as before, to pawn the big house. thing.

It's just that in this way, if I want to redeem it again, I'm afraid it will take some time.

Following the three sisters Shen Yunlan to Jinhua Garden of Shen Yunjin, Shen Yunan sat down and ate snacks on the table.

While eating, while asking questions, they are all related to ethnology.

Shen Yunlan answered, and from time to time, Shen Yunjin and Shen Yunjie added a few more words.

The sisters were talking, Cang Zhu came in from outside the house, leaned into Shen Yunlan's ear and whispered a few words, Shen Yunlan raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter?" In a situation like this, even if Shen Yunjie saw it, she would pretend she didn't see it, and Shen Yunjin would not ask too much. If there was anything, Shen Yunlan would tell her later, and the only one who could ask was Shen Yun'an.

"It's nothing, the second sister likes the sweet wine from Jinyang Tower, I wanted someone to buy a jar back, but it's just a coincidence, it will take a while to get it!"

Naturally, what she heard was not the case, but she couldn't tell the truth to Shen Yun'an, so she made up a reason and told her.

"Sweet wine? Is it good?" Shen Yun'an's eyes lit up when he heard that it was related to eating and drinking.

"It's delicious! I'll buy it later, and I will definitely invite you to taste it." Shen Yunjie took the words and described how delicious it was to Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yunjin sat beside Shen Yunlan, turned to look at her, Shen Yunlan opened his mouth to say something, but didn't make a sound, "The third room is arguing."
