At this time, Liu Ruyi was already panicking.Seeing her daughter asking, she quickly said:

"Yingxue, I don't know where your uncle has gone. If I knew, would I still be so anxious?"

Jiang Yingxue stepped forward and held her hand and said:

"Mother, don't be anxious. Since this matter has nothing to do with you, I'll go tell the old lady. I won't know if it was my uncle who stole the things."

Liu Ruyi quickly said to her daughter:

"Okay Yingxue, please go and beg the old lady and tell her not to take away my right to be a housekeeper. I have been in charge of this house for more than ten years, but I have no credit and hard work. How can I just take it away? Let’s go.”

Jiang Yingxue glanced at her but said nothing. She went straight to the old lady and said:

"Grandma, I know you are very angry about this matter, but let's keep it straight. If it is really Butler Liu who stole Madam's things, grandma will report him to the officials and arrest him. Whatever punishment he should receive, let the officials It's better to convict him. He brought it upon himself and is not worthy of pity at all. But it is best not to implicate my mother in this matter. I hope the old lady will handle business in a fair manner."

The old lady looked at the granddaughter standing in front of her and said:

"Yingxue, whether your mother made a mistake or not, it doesn't matter what I say, nor does it matter what you say. The accountant will be here soon. When the accounts are checked, they will know if there is anything wrong with your mother. If she The account keeper is very clear, and I have no excuse even if I want to punish her. If she dares to tamper with the accounts of our Marquis Mansion, I will tell her to live in vain. "

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Jiang Feng turned around helplessly and stopped looking at his mother.Liu Ruyi's face became even more ugly at this time.

Only Jiang Chen calmly observed Liu Ruyi's words and deeds. He looked at Liu Ruyi's mother and son in front of him with a very calm expression, and looked as panicked as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

There was a slight smile on his face. All this was under his control. He wanted to see how Liu Ruyi, the woman who covered the sky with one hand in the Hou Mansion, capsized in front of everyone today.

He watched everything in the hall quietly. Today he was going to completely reveal Liu Ruyi's true face and let her receive the punishment she deserved.

At this time, the person who was sent there had returned, followed by an accounting gentleman holding a thick stack of account books.

He came to the old lady and said:

"Old madam, according to your instructions, I asked the accountant to bring all the account books. The old madam only wants to interrogate him."

When the accountant saw the old lady, he quickly knelt down and said:

"My servant kowtows to the old lady. I have brought all the account books here. The old lady only needs to reconcile the accounts."

Liu Ruyi's face at the side had already turned very ugly.

She didn't dare to look up at the old lady, and only heard the old lady say:

"Mr. Accountant, you are also an old man in the Hou Mansion. I didn't treat you badly when you followed me. You started to reconcile the accounts for me from the time Liu Ruyi took over this house. The annual income and annual expenditures Details, you have to be careful and calculate them clearly for me. If I find out that you have made any fraud in the above, I will immediately send you to the government and severely punish you. Did you hear that?"

Mr. Accountant kowtowed again and said:

"Don't worry, old lady, I don't dare."

The old lady ordered:

"Come here, bring a table and chairs to Mr. Accountant. I'll watch him check the accounts here."

The accountant was so frightened that sweat dripped from his head. He quickly kowtowed to the old lady and said:

"Old Madam, this servant must be serious about sorting out the accounts. I will definitely not let down the old Madam's trust."

After saying that, he stood up, carried the account book and came to the table prepared for him and sat down.

Everyone in the living room fell silent, and the hall echoed with the sound of the accountant adjusting the abacus.

Looking at noon soon, Jiang Chen saw Ah Fu's figure at the door.

He got up and walked out. When he came back, the accountant finished checking the accounts and stood up. He came to the old lady and said:

"Old Madam, this is the account I have reconciled. All the accounts since the Second Madam took over have been reconciled. Please take a look at it, Old Madam."

The old lady ordered the woman beside her to take the statement from the accountant's hand.

At this time, Liu Ruyi was sitting on the chair, her body shaking involuntarily.

Jiang Feng, who was standing aside, looked surprisingly ugly.

When the old lady saw the statement, it was written that there was a loss of more than 3000 taels of silver.

She turned her head and looked fiercely at Liu Ruyi next to her. She held back her anger and confirmed to the cashier again:

"Mr. Accountant, is the account you corrected accurate?"

Mr. Accountant knelt down again and swore:

"Old madam, if the account I corrected is false, I will be punished by the law."

The old lady's face was full of anger, and she loudly said to the people around her:

"Here comes someone, kidnap Liu Ruyi and send him to the government for disposal."

The women nearby agreed and immediately came to Liu Ruyi's side. Without any explanation, they pushed her to the ground.

Liu Ruyi lay on the ground and cried. She kept shouting:

"Old lady, what are you doing?"

The old lady slammed the table next to her and said to Liu Ruyi on the ground:

"Liu Ruyi, you are too courageous. You two brothers and sisters worked together and almost emptied the entire Hou Mansion. Please explain to me, where did these 3000 taels of silver go? You You eat everything inside and out, this Houfu raises your three children, and you actually embezzle the Houfu's money. How have I treated you these years, I handed the entire Houfu into your hands. You are still like this If she is not satisfied, please come and escort her to the government."

Liu Ruyi was frightened and quickly defended herself:

"Old madam, I really don't know what happened to the loss of 1 taels of silver in the account. This was all done by my brother Liu Neng. I really don't know what happened. I was wronged. I People must not send me to the government. This will not only be bad for the reputation of my three children, but also for our prince's house. If you want to arrest me, go and arrest Liu Neng. Madam, please don't take me Send it to the government, I beg you, old lady, I beg you."

When the old lady said she wanted to check the accounts, Jiang Feng knew that the matter would be exposed.

Therefore, his heart was always in his throat.Once Liu Neng's theft was revealed and such a large amount of corruption was revealed, the old lady would definitely be angry. As for the result, one can imagine.

But no matter what, the old lady cannot be allowed to send her mother to the government.If word of this gets out, it will have a huge impact on his future career.

Thinking of this, for the sake of his future future, he could no longer stay out of it.He quickly lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground and said:

"Old madam, calm down. This matter must have been done by that greedy villain Liu Neng. Old madam, think about it, my mother has no reason to steal our own family's money. If you send her to the government, what will happen to your grandson?" My future career is all over. I beg the old lady to be merciful and let my mother go so that she can serve the crime and find a way to catch Liu Neng is the most important thing. "
