Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Seeing that Old Madam Ye was furious, Nanny Sun hurried forward to comfort her.

"Old Madam, please don't be anxious. The Sixth Miss doesn't play by the rules. We have to think of a way to prevent her from doing anything radical again."

Nanny Sun has never encountered such a difficult situation at her age. Ye Jintang is too troublesome.

"It's really hard to say. We don't know how those rumors will spread. Find a few good-mouthed women and tell them that Ye Jintang did all this voluntarily."

"It's better for Ye Jintang to be known as a filial son than for me to be known as someone who mistreats my granddaughter."

"Slave, go now."

Nanny Sun understood everything immediately and immediately started thinking about what kind of woman to find to spread the news.

"Wait, send someone to the corner gate to check. With such a big incident, Madam Lou and He Xiang must have come back to report the news."

"The servant understands."

Nanny Sun went out, and Old Madam Ye leaned on the couch, feeling resentful.

Before the New Year, she had wanted to invite the wives of officials who she had a good relationship with to get together, and try to help Ye Dong smooth out some relationships to see if he could get a promotion.

Now that Ye Jintang had caused so much trouble, she no longer had the courage to go out and see people. She could only bite the bullet and continue pretending to be sick.

But she couldn't just ignore Ye Dong's affairs, so she could only take money from her private treasury to smooth over the relationship.

When she thought about using her own money, Old Madam Ye felt somewhat reluctant, because that money was her life savings, and whether her children and grandchildren would be filial to her in the future would depend on whether she had enough money.

With only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, Old Madam Ye called Madam Gan over and asked about the mansion's income this year to see if she could give Ye Dong a few thousand taels of silver.

As the end of the year approached, Mrs. Gan was extremely busy. When the old lady called her over, she was looking through the account books until she felt dizzy.

"Lunch is about to start. Why did the old lady ask me to come over at this time?"

Mrs. Gan impatiently threw the account book in her hand directly onto the small table.

Nanny Song, who served her, told Madam Gan the rumors she heard outside today.

"I guess it was the Sixth Miss who caused the trouble. The old lady wants to ask Madam to come over to discuss how to deal with it."

Madam Gan took the hot towel handed over by the maid next to her, wiped her hands and sneered, "I don't want to get involved in this muddy water. I can see that Ye Jintang is very evil. She is a jinx. Whoever messes with her will be unlucky."

At the old lady's birthday banquet that day, Ye Yanran only said a few words to her, and she started crying and making accusations, making her precious daughter so ashamed that she didn't go out for several days.

Several of her good friends didn't even invite her to their banquets, and it was obvious that they were distancing themselves from Ye Yanran.

The old lady sent her to the White Horse Temple, but after only one day there, trouble started.

He is truly a troublemaker.

The old lady was still too kind. If it were her, she would have directly locked Ye Jintang up in the family temple and left her to fend for herself. There wouldn't have been all these messy things.

"Let's go and see what method the old lady has come up with to punish Ye Jintang."

Madam Gan went to Fushouyuan with a group of maids and old women. She had a lot to say on the way, trying to put off the old lady and not get involved with Ye Jintang.

However, I didn't expect that the old lady would ask about the income of the Marquis' Mansion.

Mrs. Gan was not prepared, so she could only tell the old lady everything.

"At the beginning of the year, I compiled a rough budget for the silver that I would spend that year. I felt that with the annual income of the Marquis' Mansion, there would be at least 200,000 taels left by the end of the year."

"As a result, the money was spent like water, and the income for the year was 30 taels less than the plan at the beginning of the year."

"All budgets were overspent. For example, we originally planned to make winter clothes at the end of the year, but ended up spending 5 taels of silver."

"This is just the winter clothing item. The other items are also more or less over budget."

"Now, after working hard for a year, I still can't pay off my debts and I still owe money to the household."

"I was just doing the accounts in the study, and I was thinking of taking some time to come over and talk to the old lady to see when the treasury will be opened so that I can take out the silver to settle this year's accounts."

"How can there be such a huge deficit? We have so many manors and shops, can't we support a few people in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Old Madam Ye looked at Madam Gan in amazement, thinking there was something wrong with her ears.

"Madam, our Danyang Marquis's Mansion has a large population, and the daily expenses of each courtyard are not small. If you don't believe me, I will show you the annual expenses of each courtyard in a while."

Old Madam Ye waved to Madam Gan. She had no interest in looking at Lao Shenzi's account book.

At first she wanted to use some money to smooth things over with Ye Dong, but now when she heard that she would need a lot of money to settle the bills of the mansion for a year, she immediately gave up the idea.

"I can still make up for the deficit this year, but starting from next year, I will not be responsible for any more deficits. You have to find a way out on your own. I can't let this legacy be destroyed in my hands."

"this?"

Mrs. Gan was speechless and looked up at the sky. She didn't want to suffer a loss, so why was all this mess thrown to her?

"Don't be like this, the eldest brother's wife, Dong Ge has stayed here for two years without moving, you and the eldest brother don't have any ideas."

Old Madam Ye was too lazy to waste time talking to Madam Gan and changed the subject directly.

"My daughter-in-law would like to use money to help Brother Dong smooth out the relationship, even if it's just to raise him half a level, but my daughter-in-law is short of money and can't afford that much money."

"This year, my daughter-in-law took out 1 taels of silver from her dowry to supplement the household expenses. If she uses the dowry to smooth things over for Dong Ge, I'm afraid my parents will find out and spread some bad rumors outside."

"Forget it, forget it. It will be sealed in a few days before the New Year. I will think of a solution after the New Year."

Old Madam Ye and Madam Gan were talking in the room when Nanny Sun and He Xiang hurried over.

Mrs. Gan was no one else, so Nanny Sun did not avoid the question and directly asked He Xiang to explain the whole story.

"Sixth girl is too crazy."

Madam Gan, who was sitting next to Madam Ye, raised her eyebrows slightly with a look of disgust.

"How could a legitimate daughter of a respectable family appear in the main hall of the White Horse Temple like Ye Jintang?"

"The White Horse Temple is one of the largest temples in the capital. At the end of the year, there are countless pilgrims from the capital and surrounding areas. As long as they enter the main hall, they will see Ye Jintang kneeling in the hall copying scriptures. How can this be tolerated?"

"She has brought disgrace upon the Danyang Marquisate."

Mrs. Gan naturally couldn't say that Old Madam Ye had completely lost all her dignity in front of her, so she could only say that Ye Jintang was wrong.
