He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Seeing that Shen Qing did not speak again, Mrs. Yanglinghou thought she was intimidated by her power, and a flash of pride flashed in her eyes.

Afraid that Shen Qing would cause trouble again, Mrs. Yanglinghou quickly changed the subject, "Shen Qing, let me ask you, why didn't you prepare a gift in advance when you went to Jiang Guogong's mansion for a banquet today, which made me, Marquis Yangling? The government almost lost face in front of everyone? "

Hearing this, Marquis Yangling was immediately shocked and looked at Mrs. Marquis Yangling in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou nodded heavily and described the situation of today's banquet in detail as if pouring beans. She did not forget to secretly add fuel to the fire. Yanglinghou's brows furrowed even more as he listened.

Shen Qing couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. Mrs. Yanglinghou immediately scolded: "Why are you laughing?"

Shen Qing said bluntly: "Mother's stories are really vivid. Even the storytellers in the teahouse are not as good as you."

Mrs. Yanglinghou slapped the table hard, her eyes boiling with anger, "You bastard! How dare you compare that kind of untouchable with me? I think you are really becoming more and more unruly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to call Mother Zhang to teach Shen Qing a lesson, but when he raised his eyes, he saw two Jiaowufang guards guarding the door, and immediately swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Marquis Yangling failed to please Shen Qing, and she didn't want to humiliate herself anymore.

After all, they have been married for many years. Marquis Yangling could see the depression in Mrs. Marquis Yangling's eyes at a glance. He took over the conversation and spoke sternly: "Shen Qing, how do you explain the gift?"

Compared to the conflict between Shen Qing and Yanglinghou's wife, Yanglinghou obviously still cares more about the face of the Yanglinghou Mansion, even though not much of it has been lost long ago.

Shen Qing's words did not change at all, "Dad, maybe I have forgotten that there is no money in the account for a long time. Let alone gifts, even next month's monthly money and food and drink are problems. Speaking of which, the family will be like this now." In this situation, my father also has an unshirkable responsibility..."

Seeing that the conversation was about him, Marquis Yangling immediately asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

Shen Qing glanced at Mrs. Yanglinghou, and then sighed softly: "If my father hadn't kept these aunts outside, why would I have made such a big fuss to bring them back, and spent a total of four thousand taels of silver, resulting in a huge amount of money in my account?" So far, I don’t have any money left, but I still owe money..."

Sure enough, when Shen Qing mentioned the three aunts, Mrs. Yanglinghou immediately gave Yanglinghou a hard look.

Marquis Yangling was displeased, but he was too lazy to argue with her in public.

It's so embarrassing.

Having said this, Shen Qing looked at the two of them and reminded them again, "By the way, don't forget, father and mother, you still owe me 10,000 taels of silver on the account. When you have it in the future, don't forget to pay it back to me."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Yanglinghou's eyes. Was Shen Qing afraid that he would default on the money he owed her?

However, there was no refutation, because Yanglinghou did not know whether or when the ten thousand taels could be repaid, or in other words, he had no intention of repaying it. Like Mrs. Yanglinghou, he also felt that Shen Since Qing is already married, all the wealth belongs to Yanglinghou Mansion, which naturally includes the priceless dowry.

Mrs. Yanglinghou looked aggrieved and bit her lip to endure it for a moment. She still couldn't help but asked: "When I took care of the accounts, I didn't say how much surplus I would have, but I wouldn't be able to make ends meet and still owe money. You, the head of the family, How did you become a mother?"

Shen Qing's tone was as usual, "Perhaps my ability is limited, why not mother continue to take care of me?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou stopped talking immediately. She would not accept this mess!

Marquis Yangling was too lazy to listen to the two of them arguing again and stopped him sternly: "That's enough! It's so noisy every day! It's just some money. Shen Qing, you can put your dowry on it first and wait until the end of the year to open the business." When the money comes down, just take it back."

Marquis Yangling knew that Shen Qing was very articulate and could speak black things into white things, so he simply stopped beating around the bush and made his intentions clear.

The corners of Shen Qing's lips slightly raised, but there was no trace of worry on his face, "Is my father planning to ignore etiquette and try to use my dowry to support the Hou family?"

Marquis Yangling corrected her mistake, "It's not taking, it's borrowing! I said, when the profit of the shop comes down by the end of the year, you can take it back."

Shen Qing's face was full of disapproval, "Father, the eight shops under the name of the Hou Mansion have made a total profit of just over 10,000 taels in a year, which is barely enough to repay the previous deficit. If we borrow more... I'm afraid it will be the same. Is it a waste of money?"

After being revealed by Shen Qing of the conspiracy in his heart, Marquis Yangling immediately became angry and slammed the table, "What are you talking about! How could I, the majestic Marquis of Yangling, still plot against you?"

Shen Qing responded: "I didn't mean that."

Marquis Yangling pressed hard: "Then do you want to borrow the money or not?"

Shen Qing looked determined, as if there was no room for concession, "I won't borrow it."

Yanglinghou's energy and blood suddenly surged, but he couldn't help himself for a moment. He couldn't rob it by force, could he? What does that sound like?

After rejecting Marquis Yangling, Shen Qing returned to the previous topic, "Father, how are you going to deal with Aunt Lin's impersonation of my identity?"

Lin Xuefu, who was nominated again, felt her heart skip a beat. Why was Shen Qing still clinging to this topic?

Looking at Marquis Yangling quietly, he saw that his face was cold, and the expression he looked at Shen Qing was full of boredom, "You are not pretending to be fake, it's just that those ladies misunderstood and admitted your mistake. You are too careless. Some more!”

After saying that, he still felt uncomfortable and continued to scold: "You are also the head mistress of Yanglinghou Mansion, but you have no structure at all. If word spreads, wouldn't it be a joke for our Yanglinghou Mansion? "

Seeing that Marquis Yangling was about to speak again, Shen Qing spoke first, "What if I agree to borrow another ten thousand taels of silver?"

The words Yanglinghou had already spoken were suddenly extinguished. If Shen Qing decided to give Yanglinghou Mansion another ten thousand taels of silver... the nature would naturally be completely different!

A bright light suddenly appeared in Yanglinghou's eyes, and he changed his words, "Although you are exaggerating, it is not entirely unreasonable. This matter is indeed Xue Fu's fault, but after all, we are still a family. Let her reflect on it for a few days. Forget it, what do you think?"

Although ten thousand taels of silver was very tempting, Marquis Yangling was not completely devoid of feelings for Lin Xuefu. After all, he had raised her as his own daughter and protected her, so Marquis Yangling was still reluctant to punish her.

Shen Qing suddenly smiled and said, "That's all, I don't mind borrowing the money."

The smile that finally appeared on Marquis Yangling's face instantly condensed on his face, "Shen Qing, are you kidding me?"

Shen Qing ignored him and looked at Lin Xuefu beside him, "Aunt Lin went too far. She pretended to be my identity first and tried to overwhelm me regardless of etiquette. Therefore, I punished Aunt Lin with a one-month grounding and transcribed the female training. "Every family rule has been repeated a hundred times, does Aunt Lin have any objections?"

Lin Xuefu's face turned pale and she quickly looked up at Yanglinghou and his wife for help.

Madam Yanglinghou couldn't sit still at first, "Shen Qing, what are you making trouble about? You are grounding yourself and copying the female training family rules. Do you want to force her to death?"

Marquis Yangling's position changed again, "Shen Qing, neither your mother nor I have any intention of punishing Xue Fu, but you are making your own decisions. Do you want to overstep your authority?"

Shen Qing looked at the two of them with a slightly cold expression, "I, Shen Qing, are both the mistress of the Yangling Marquis Mansion and the direct daughter of the Yining Marquis Mansion. Naturally, I will not allow others to bully me at will. It is fair today since my father and mother If you can’t host it for me, then I will host it for myself.”
