I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yueru looked at Song Nanzhi with a ridiculous expression on her face and said, "If you haven't woken up yet, go back and sleep for a while."

Song Nanzhi sat directly on the stone pier in the courtyard and said calmly, "Where did all the personal money that my grandmother left behind go? And why is the account of the Marquis' Mansion so badly in deficit?"

He couldn't help but start looking at the well-repaired Yuexin Residence, and continued, "It must be you who sneaked in and secretly moved all the valuables out of the mansion, and stole all the money that my grandmother had for herself!"

Song Nanzhi became more and more angry as he spoke: "Otherwise, where did you get so much money to buy such a nice house?"

The houses in Chang'an Lane are famous for their good feng shui. In addition, most of the people living here are from noble families. Therefore, the houses are sold at a higher price than other houses.

Thinking of the injustices suffered by his own mansion, he felt that it had to kowtow to those cheap merchants for a few bowls of rice.

However, Liu Yueru moved into a new house and lived as leisurely as before, or even better.

This made Song Nanzhi feel unbalanced in his heart: "You are my wife, and it would be fine if you didn't think of a way out for the Marquis' Mansion in the future. Now you secretly hide here to enjoy yourself. Do you still have me, your husband, and the Marquis' Mansion in your eyes?"

Liu Yueru raised her hand indifferently and asked the servants to remove all the food on the table.

When she looked up again, her eyes were cold as she looked at Song Nanzhi: "Husband? What kind of husband are you? Male dogs out there only protect their own female dogs, but what about you? From the moment you started to scheme against us, our relationship as husband and wife has been severed!"

"Song Nanzhi, when I married into your Marquis' Mansion, what did it have? This huge Marquis' Mansion was supported by my grandmother alone. You don't even have a decent official position. You are penniless. The Marquis' Mansion is just an empty shell. What is there for me to covet?"

Song Nanzhi originally came with an empty stomach, and when he saw that Liu Yueru didn't even let him have breakfast, he directly asked the servants to take it away.

Now hearing those words from her mouth, which he considered to be extremely treasonous, made Song Nanzhi, who was already furious, even angrier.

"The Marquis' Mansion also has shops and farmland, which have good harvests and profits. You said the Marquis' Mansion is just an empty shell, but all the food, clothing and daily expenses you have spent in the Marquis' Mansion over the years were provided by the Marquis' Mansion."

"You hold the title of the Marquis's mistress and live a life of luxury. Now that the Marquis's mansion is in trouble, you have thrown all the kindness the mansion has shown you behind your back. Why didn't I realize that you are such an ungrateful woman before?"

Song Nanzhi was extremely angry and kept accusing Liu Yueru.

Many people also stopped outside the door.

Ye Tao and Yan's mother's eyes turned red after hearing Song Nanzhi's words.

Liu Yueru glanced at the onlookers outside.

She immediately put on a weak and pitiful look and said, "When I married into the Marquis' Mansion, the income from the shop was all in the account book, and it was often in a state of loss. The harvest from the farm could only barely maintain the daily food and expenses of the Marquis' Mansion. I moved here from the Marquis' Mansion so that you can make Concubine Yuan love you forever. Why did the prince chase me? And you also accused me of being a traitor and a greedy woman who coveted the money of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Liu Yueru glanced at Mother Yan and signaled her to take out the backup account book of the Marquis' Mansion.

Liu Yueru took the account book and took out her dowry list. Her eyes were red with grievance. "Since the prince said this to me, I think you have some misunderstanding about the property of the Marquis' Mansion. I have to explain it to you today."

This account book was started when Liu Yueru took over as the housekeeper. She opened the first page and began to speak loudly: "On the first day of August in the Heqing year, my grandmother handed over the household supplies of the Marquis' Mansion to me. The Marquis' Mansion had a total of 51 taels of silver. There were three shops, one rouge shop and one tea shop. One shop was losing too much money at the time and was not making a living. Among them, the monthly income and expenditure of the rouge shop just broke even with the shop, and the tea shop also had a bleak business. When my grandmother handed it to me, she was too lazy to even keep the account book."

"The total land is thirty mu, which was the only source of income for the mansion at that time. After deducting the expenses and taxes of the land, the annual income of one mu of land is about one hundred taels, and the total profit of the land for the whole year is three thousand taels."

Liu Yueru glanced at Song Nanzhi and said, "The prince's monthly salary was thirty-one taels at that time, but it was all his daily expenses and not counted as income for the mansion."

"That is to say, the total income of the entire mansion was three thousand taels of silver, and at that time, the mansion had to support eight people, including the servants."

"On the second day of August, my grandmother came to tell everyone in the mansion to make autumn clothes. She specified the fabrics and quantities to be used. Ordinary clothes cost five hundred coins each. The five servants in the mansion needed two sets of clothes each, totaling five taels of silver. My grandmother and the prince needed silk and satin, each costing five taels of silver. Three sets each costing thirty taels of silver."

"On the third day of August, the house repairs in the mansion cost three taels. As for the daily food expenses, according to my grandmother's request, every meal must be a combination of meat and vegetables, and there must be snacks and fruits after the meal. The daily food expenses in the mansion are six hundred coins, which is about eighteen taels a month."

"On the fourth day of the eighth month, everyone in the mansion receives their monthly salary and allowance. Grandmother's allowance is 15 taels per month, Madam Chen's is 3 taels per month, the housekeeper's is 8 taels per month, Madam Yan and Ye Tao's are 3 taels per month, and the gatekeeper, cook, and maidservant are each 2 taels per month, for a total of 38 taels."

"In order to alleviate the urgent need of the Marquis's Mansion, I asked Mother Yan to pawn a whole set of gold filigree head ornaments and exchanged them for 100 taels of silver."

"In just four days, the Marquis' Mansion spent nearly a hundred taels of silver. Where do you think the fifty-one taels of silver that my grandmother gave me came from? That's not counting the daily favors, the spring clothes, summer clothes, and winter clothes in the mansion, the ice money in the summer, the doctors hired when sick, the supplements that my grandmother took every day, and then the palace doctors hired later, the new servants, the expenses of raising children, hiring a tutor, and the money for the officialdom later on. Which one doesn't cost money?"

Liu Yueru's eyes were red, she stood up and pointed at Song Nanzhi and complained: "My dowry was pawned or sold to maintain the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion. Not only did you not give me a bit of love, but you also said such words that tarnished my reputation. If I had known this would happen, I, Liu Yueru, would have stayed in the mansion as an old maid and would never have set foot in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Song Nanzhi was so ashamed of what Liu Yueru said that he looked at the people outside who were pointing fingers at him. His face turned red and black, changing constantly like a color palette.

He stiffened his neck and continued, "You are the new bride of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should do something for the Marquis' Mansion. Besides, the Marquis' Mansion handed the power of the household to you, which is the greatest respect for you. What else are you not satisfied with? Although some of your dowry was used up at the beginning, the business of those shops has been good since then, with surplus money every month. Otherwise, where would you get the money to spend so much money to buy such a nice house?"

"Your Highness can still speak so righteously about asking a woman to use her dowry to support the Marquis's residence." A voice came from behind him with Shen Lengwen's anger.
