After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day

Wang's backyard.

"What did you say? Chen was under house arrest?" A beautiful woman with a slightly plump figure was furious when she saw her son who was wearing wedding clothes.

Wang Hongyi could only nod dejectedly, not daring to look the woman in the eye.

This woman is the current mistress of the Wang family, Yan.

The Wang family has been in the business for generations, so it is impossible for them to serve as officials in the court. Now they can barely maintain their foothold in the capital.

The Wang family was marrying into the Shixin Earl's Mansion, which was really a high-class marriage. The marriage was about to be finalized, and her Wang family would be able to stay in the capital city further. However, she did not expect that it would fall through at the last moment!

How could Yan not be angry!

The people of the capital were already talking about this marriage, but the bride openly refused to marry. If this got out, would she still have any face? !

"Since Chen has something to ask of me, he doesn't do it in a nice way. If the truth comes out, neither of our two families will have an easy time!" Yan clenched the handles of the chair tightly with her five fingers, her face showing a ferocious look.

-

Not long after Chen was confined to her house, she very reluctantly sent someone to deliver the householder's cards and account books.

It is said that Chen was furious after handing over the household expenses, but Jiang Wanyue didn't care at all. I won't offend others unless they offend me. Jiang Wanyue was not afraid of women like Chen in the back house.

Next to the window, Jiang Wanyue was lying lazily on the couch, flipping through the account book.

In her previous life, before she married Xie Jinghong, although the Ye family was a family of military generals, their education of women not only taught them military strategies, but also included music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She also learned housekeeping step by step from her mother.

However, less than two years after she married Xie Jinghong and became the queen, she was deprived of her power to manage the six palaces. At first, she thought that Xie Jinghong favored Yao Yu'an, until she was banished to the cold palace and recalled the past, she realized the truth.

Come to think of it, I haven't touched the account book for several months, but it doesn't seem too difficult at the moment.

After a long while, Jiang Wanyue frowned, staring at the string of numbers on the page, and shouted outside without blinking: "Chunhe, Bujing, come in!"

Chunhe and Bujing pushed the door open and walked in. Both of them looked surprised: "Miss, what happened?"

Jiang Wanyue sat up, spread the account book on her legs, and looked at Chunhe and Bujing: "Let me ask you, was there a large expenditure in the mansion a few days ago, and why?"

Chunhe and Bujing were obviously stunned by the question. They looked at each other. After a while, Bujing said, "My lady, since the death of the lady, the household expenses in the mansion have been managed by the aunt, and the people she employs are also the aunt's close relatives. I don't know either."

Chunhe also shook his head and looked at Jiang Wanyue blankly.

Jiang Wanyue sighed: "Forget it, Chen has been in charge of the household for three years, so some things will definitely be glossed over. It's normal that you don't know."

But soon, a gleam of light flashed in Jiang Wanyue's eyes!

Unfortunately, after this incident, she is no longer the simple Jiang Wanyue. She must find out everything Chen has done and let the world see Chen's ugly face!

Chun He lowered her eyes as if thinking about something, then said, "Miss, I heard that after Madam's death, the list of Madam's dowry was sent to Auntie... The Lord originally wanted to give Madam's dowry to Miss to manage, but Auntie took it away on the grounds that Miss was too young..."

At the end of his speech, Chunhe's voice became smaller and smaller.

Jiang Wanyue paused holding the account book. She had not thought of this.

It's not her fault. After all, the soul in her body is Ye Qingwu, not her original body Jiang Wanyue. Without more than ten years of memory, many things are troublesome to do. Jiang Wanyue couldn't help rubbing her eyebrows.

Normally, the annual income of the Shixin Marquis's Mansion could not sustain Chen's consumption, but if the dowry was used to supplement it... someone like Chen would certainly not use her own money, so the only thing that could be used would be Su's dowry.

"How is Nanny Kong?" Jiang Wanyue thought for a moment and then asked.

"She is still locked up in the woodroom! She was shouting before that if aunt knew about this, we would all be in trouble. Now if she knew that Chen was under house arrest, she would probably be discouraged." Chunhe and Bujing looked at each other with a bit of gloating.

Jiang Wanyue didn't smile. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before standing up: "You are right. Let's not be too 'neglectful' to her."

Since Nanny Kong is the closest person to Chen, she must know something. Now that Chen is under house arrest, Nanny Kong falls into her hands, which is not a loss.

At this time, in the dim room of the woodshed, Nanny Kong was lying on the ground with her hands and feet tied and her eyes closed. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered with dust. She looked miserable. There were traces of blood oozing from her buttocks and her lips were chapped.

With a creak, the door was opened.

A beam of light shone in. Madam Kong moved her eyelids and slowly opened her eyes. She thought it was Chen who came to save her. She was delighted: "I told you long ago, let me out earlier, I can still plead for you..."

"Who are you pleading for, Madam?" A cold voice interrupted Madam Kong.

When Madam Kong heard the voice, she shuddered unconsciously. She looked up, as if she saw a ghost, with fear in her eyes: "Miss...Miss."

Jiang Wanyue smiled as she approached Madam Kong step by step and squatted in front of her: "Madam, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Madam Kong looked at Jiang Wanyue's smile and felt a chill all over her body. She struggled to get up from the ground, knelt in front of Jiang Wanyue, and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Nothing...nothing, Miss, please forgive me, I...I didn't mean it!"

Jiang Wanyue remained motionless and still looked at Grandma Kong with a smile.

Madam Kong couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to beg for mercy when Jiang Wanyue said, "Madam Kong, since you have admitted your fault, you must show some sincerity... Let me ask you a few questions, and if your answers are true, I will spare your life."

Kong Mama didn't care about that. She was afraid that Jiang Wanyue would suddenly execute her, so she immediately agreed: "Tell me, tell me, what does the young lady want to know? As long as I know it, I will tell you everything!"

"Okay!" The servant brought a chair, and Jiang Wanyue stood up and sat down, looking at Madam Kong with a smile, "Madam, you have been with Auntie for many years, right?"

Grandma Kong's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

As expected, the next second, Jiang Wanyue asked, "Auntie often goes out to buy things under the pretext of shopping, even six times a month. As far as I know, twice a month is enough for all the shopping in the mansion. So where does Auntie spend all that money?"

Kong Mama thought to herself that it was not good. How did Jiang Wanyue know all this? Did Jiang Wanyue check the account book? But wasn't it always the aunt who was in charge of the account book?

At this moment, Grandma Kong had many doubts in her mind, and she also had some vague guesses in her heart.

But how should I answer this question? If I tell it to others, I will be betraying my aunt. If I don’t tell them, my life will be in danger.

"This..." Nanny Kong looked embarrassed.

"Chunhe." Jiang Wanyue found it a little funny when she saw how loyally Grandma Kong was protecting her master. She wondered if she would have the guts to hold on.
