Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 14: Finding the wrong accounts
At this time, the prince noticed the gap between Li Wanrong and him, and instantly felt exhausted: "Those rich ladies and official wives have no shortage of money. The clothes their servants wear are made of better fabrics than the ones you sell to them. Your behavior is not doing business at all, but humiliating them. If it weren't for me being a prince, those people would have put you in jail."
At this time, Li Wanrong was a little panicked. In modern times, fakes and counterfeits are everywhere, and regulatory authorities have no way to control them. She didn't expect that the ancients would be so powerful. Not only could the snacks in the snack shop be identified, but even the fabrics used to make clothes could be recognized.
She grabbed the prince's sleeve and said, "Although I replaced the expensive fabric with a cheaper one, it's not worse than the fabrics worn by the servants in their mansion."
"Do you know about fabrics made of cicada silk, silk and cotton?"
Li Wanrong's eyes flickered: "Is there any difference? They are all fabrics for making clothes."
The veins on the prince's forehead were throbbing with anger: "When I handed the shop over to you, I asked you to study hard with the steward, but you didn't go."
"Of course I studied." Li Wanrong's words were obviously lacking in confidence, and she didn't dare to look the prince in the eye.
Of course, the prince did not believe what Li Wanrong said. If she had studied hard, she would definitely be able to distinguish the fabrics and would not use inferior fabrics instead of good ones in the hope of passing off genuine ones as genuine ones.
He ignored Li Wanrong and left the yard. The shop had lost so much silver and could not make ends meet. The first thing he did when he got up the next morning was to go find the old lady.
At this time, the old lady and He Shulan were sitting at the dining table eating.
The old lady asked in surprise: "Why do you come to my place so early?"
The prince standing there looked at He Shulan hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"The Princess is your original wife. She knows everything that happens in the mansion." The old lady was very dissatisfied with the Prince's behavior. She wanted He Shulan to leave in front of so many servants in the room, so that He Shulan, the mistress of the house, would have any prestige in front of the servants in the mansion.
The prince thought that what Li Wanrong had done would be known not only to the people in the mansion but also to the people in the capital. After careful consideration, he told the old lady about the snack shop and the cloth shop.
The old lady's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. It was fine that the snack shop had caused such a big incident, but now even the cloth shop had a problem. She was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly: "You want to piss me off to death. In the beginning, in order to boost the business of the shop, I went to the palace and asked the emperor to choose a few embroiderers for me. In just half a year, that vixen not only ruined the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, but also ruined the business. You drive that vixen out for me."
The prince was unmoved. Li Wanrong had done so many wrong things, but he had never thought of driving her away: "Doing business has its gains and losses, this is a very normal thing."
"In that case, why did you come to see me?"
The prince hesitated for a long time and then told the current difficulties: "I lost a lot of money this time. Now the store is in trouble. I want to ask the old lady for help."
The old lady was so angry that she just wanted to beat someone up. How could she help the prince? "I have handed over the business of the prince's mansion to you. You can figure it out yourself."
"If I could come up with so much silver, I wouldn't come to you." The prince didn't want to come here so early in the morning and see the old lady's face.
The old lady didn't like Li Wanrong, but she didn't want the prince to suffer, so she was planning to ask her servants to go to the storehouse to get some gold.
He Shulan, who was sitting there, spoke up: "Old lady, don't worry. Although the store lost money, it also received money. If you believe me, let me see the account book to see if there is any problem."
He Shulan is the princess of a county prince, so it is of course no problem for her to see the account books. The old lady smiled and nodded.
The prince was not happy, but the old lady agreed, so he could only show the account book to He Shulan and waved to the servants behind him.
The servant handed the account book to He Shulan.
He Shulan took the account book and looked at it carefully. The account book was different, but it was clear at a glance. The expenditure and income were clearly written. She slowly said, "According to this account, the store did lose a lot of money, but the flour in the snack shop was replaced with cheaper flour, and the cloth shop also replaced the expensive cloth with cheaper cloth. The money spent on purchasing goods was much less, but the selling price was the original price. There should be a lot of money left."
After He Shulan's analysis, the old lady and the prince suddenly realized.
The old lady asked the prince, "Where is the remaining silver?"
The prince was confused. He just found out about it: "I don't know."
"I think you have been bewitched by that vixen Li Wanrong. Li Wanrong is in charge of the money of the store, and the rest of the money must be with her."
Facing the old lady's questioning, the prince didn't know how to respond and could only excuse Li Wanrong: "Wanrong would not embezzle the money."
"The evidence is irrefutable, and you are still explaining for her." The old lady turned around and said to the nanny beside her, "Go and call Li Wanrong here. I want to ask her in person where she took the silver."
"Yes." The nanny led four maids to Li Wanrong's courtyard.
Li Wanrong, who was eating, put down her chopsticks. She recognized the nanny in front of her as the old lady's woman.
The old lady didn't like her. It was well known in the Prince's Mansion that she didn't even want her to serve. I don't know why the old lady's nanny suddenly came to the door: "Mammy, what do you want to see me for?"
The nanny had no expression on her face and looked at Li Wanrong coldly: "The old lady wants to see you for something."
"I won't go." Li Wanrong sensed danger. The old lady suddenly came to her, it must be bad news: "If the old lady has anything to say, tell the prince and let him come to me."
"How dare you." The nanny scolded, "How dare a little concubine like you disobey the old lady's order and let the prince come to find you? Who do you think you are?"
Li Wanrong's face turned red with anger at what the nanny said: "I just won't go, I want to find the prince."
The nanny who had been in the backyard for so many years would not be soft-hearted towards Li Wanrong: "Since Aunt Li refuses to walk, then tie her up and go."
Four maids walked over with ferocious looks, grabbed Aunt Li and walked out.
Li Wanrong kept struggling: "Although I am a concubine, I am a noble concubine. How dare you disrespect me."
The nanny sneered: "Only after you serve tea to the mistress of the house will the servants in the mansion recognize your status as a concubine. What's more, the old lady wants to see you, and you can't disobey."
"I won't go." Only then did Li Wanrong understand why the prince insisted on her kneeling down to serve tea to He Shulan. She struggled more and more violently. The jade hairpin on her head fell to the ground, and her waist-length hair fell apart.
The maid pulled Li Wanrong tighter and tighter, almost dragging her to the old lady's yard.
