Chapter 39 Punishing Mother Tuesday(1/2)
Liu Xuemei squatted in the corner of the wall and hugged her head and cried bitterly.
"If you just want to be a good concubine, you won't end like this now." Nangong Jinse said lightly.
"Hahaha, aunt, I have lived enough of this kind of life to swallow my anger. I finally had a chance to turn over, so I will naturally not let it go." Liu Xuemei roared.
"But you shouldn't attack me."
"I don't want to make any excuses now. The battle in the backyard is a life-and-death battle. Since I am defeated, I can only accept my fate."
Nangong Jinse glanced at Liu Xuemei, said nothing more, and walked out of the house.
Liu Ergou pleased and sent Nangong Jinse to the door.
"Miss walk slowly."
"My aunt and fourth sister are pretty good. I think it's not your first wife and daughter!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou was stunned. Nangong Jinse smiled faintly and said no more.
Riding on a horse and whipping away.
Liu Ergou looked at the direction where Nangong Jinse disappeared, touched his chin with one hand, and thought to himself.
This woman is simply incomparable to her former daughter-in-law. Although her former daughter-in-law is somewhat beautiful, she is far inferior to this woman. She also has this daughter, but she doesn't look like herself at first glance.
Thinking of this, Liu Ergou smiled sinisterly. Now that he is really short of money, he might as well sell these two women to brothels, which will definitely be sold at a good price.
This result is not in vain for Nangong Jinse to take a walk and remind him.
The spring and white snow are melting day by day.
Xuanwang Mansion
Hao Lianxuan looked at the portrait of the woman on the desk and was a little stunned.
This woman is Nangong Jinse, and this painting was also painted by him personally to relieve his lovesickness.
Yuan Ming, who was standing beside him, looked at Hao Lianxuan's appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After returning from Mingcheng, the prince often stared at Nangong Jinse's portrait in a daze.
Every time I hear Prince Jing go to find Nangong Jinse, I feel inexplicably dark, but I can't do anything, it's really a difficult situation for the prince.
"Prince, since you want to see Miss Jinse so much, go to the General's Mansion to have a look. Recently, Prince Jing always goes to the General's Mansion to find Miss Jinse if you have any problems. It seems that he is interested in Miss Jinse." Yuan Ming said carefully.
Hao Lianxuan had no expression on his face. He also wanted to do so, but Jinse definitely didn't want to see him.
General's Mansion.
Nangong Jinse looked through the account book and found that the general's mansion had a huge industry. However, in recent years, some industries were embezzled by some people. Although not many, if they were not disciplined, they would definitely be unscrupulous. Among them, Zhou Erniang would be Zhou Erniang.
Feng Yang walked in.
"Miss, King Jing sent someone to send a calligraphy and painting."
"Take it over."
Feng Qing handed the calligraphy and paintings to Nangong Jinse. Nangong Jinse opened the calligraphy and paintings, which were a picture of winter snow, which was very beautiful.
"Now, King Jing, has something to do and he will run to the general's mansion. He also sends some things from time to time. My subordinates think King Jing is definitely interested in the lady."
"Don't think about it all. I just have the same hobbies as King Jing. Moreover, King Jing is a gentle and easy-going person, easy-to-get along with, and it's nothing to be close to him."
"I understand."
"How is the matter checking?"
"After more than ten days of follow-up, my subordinates finally caught Zhou Erniang's handle."
"Speak and listen."
"Every time Zhou Ernie makes money, she chooses different industries and makes small profits from it. Over time, she can accumulate a large amount of wealth."
"Hmph, he's really cunning."
"My subordinates have already mastered the place where Zhou Erniang embezzled over the years, as well as the land deeds of several houses. The most important thing is that they have found someone who can prove that Zhou Erniang does these things."
"Very good, with these enough to condemn her, where is the man?"
"I have arranged for him to live in a side room."
"Since that's the case, let's go to the old lady's yard."
"yes."
Nangong Jinse brought the account book to the old lady's courtyard. At this time, Nangong Min was chatting with the old lady in the old lady's courtyard. When she saw Nangong Jinse coming, the original smile on her face was drowned.
"Please my grandmother."
"Get up."
"I came today and reported something to my grandmother."
"Tell me." The old lady took a sip of tea slowly and spit out two words casually.
Nangong Jinse smiled faintly. This kind of ignorance was already felt when he entered the General's Mansion.
"Recently, my granddaughter checked the General's Mansion's account books in recent years and found that there were dozens of mistakes, both large and small, although it was as small as dozens of taels or as many as hundreds of taels, which was not a big deal for the General's Mansion."
"However, I have accumulated tens of thousands of taels of silver over the years. So my granddaughter feels that this matter must not be tolerated."
Hearing this, the old lady was still very angry. Someone actually embezzled the money from the General's Mansion. She was so bold.
"Do you know who did it?"
"I know, but I'm afraid my grandmother can't accept it."
"If you have anything, I can accept it naturally." The old lady said impatiently.
At this time, Zhou Erniang took the snack in and saw Nangong Jinse here, and she didn't think too much about it.
Nangong Jinse glanced at Zhou Erniang and smiled faintly.
"This person is Zhou Ernie."
Hearing this, Zhou Erniang was frightened and threw the snack to the ground. Although she didn't know what Nangong Jinse said, she had a bad premonition.
The old lady was also surprised and looked at Nangong Jinse and Zhou Erniang.
Zhou Erniang immediately cleaned up the ground and stood beside the old lady with a look of fear.
"Girl Jinse, don't talk nonsense. Er Niang has been with me for decades. I know her character, how could she do this?" The old lady looked at Nangong Jinse with a serious look on her face.
Zhou Erniang immediately knelt in front of the old lady: "The old lady knows clearly. Although the old lady doesn't know what the eldest lady said, the old lady has been taking care of the old lady diligently and has no selfishness at all."
"Get up, I know."
Zhou Ernian stood up and stood beside the old lady, looking at Nangong Jinse calmly.
Nangong Jinse looked at the two people in front of her and said that their family affection was really cold. She would rather believe in a servant than her own granddaughter. However, she didn't care about these things anymore. The people here had never regarded her as a family member.
"I think you made this wrong. I believe Zhou Ernie never embezzled the general's mansion." The old lady said confidently.
Hearing this, Zhou Erniang was shocked and her hands were trembling. She was so careful that she was still found out?
Nangong Jinse said lightly: "It's just that now it's not a question that my grandmother doesn't believe it, but the evidence is conclusive, so Zhou Erniang cannot refuse to admit it."
"The granddaughter has made a calculation about these accounts and is about 32,000 taels of silver."
"My granddaughter has checked. Zhou Ernie's monthly salary is only five taels of silver. Even if he stayed in the general's mansion for thirty years, it will only be 1,800 taels. If his grandmother gives some rewards, it will be considered 2,000 taels."
"But my granddaughter learned that there are several houses outside the city that are all property under Zhou Erniang's name, and each house costs at least 5,000 taels of silver. So, where did Zhou Erniang come from?"
"Besides, my granddaughter also learned that there were more than 10,000 taels of silver hidden in Zhou Erniang's old house. Isn't this just right for the numbers?"
Hearing Nangong Jinse say slowly, Zhou Erniang looked solemn, she had already sweated a lot on her back, and her hands were shaking even harder.
The old lady also looked at Zhou Erniang with confusion, unable to believe what Nangong Jinse said was true.
"Zhou Ernie, what's going on?" the old lady asked angrily.
Zhou Erniang immediately knelt in front of the old lady and defended: "The old lady is clear. The old lady doesn't know what the eldest lady is talking about. The old lady has not purchased any house and has no money to hide."
Now I can only refuse to obey. Anyway, my money is hidden in a place where no one knows, and the land deed is hidden. If I can't find these Nangong Jinse, I can't do anything to her.
The old lady looked at Nangong Jinse and Zhou Erniang with a embarrassed look.
"Since I said it was Zhou Erniang, there is naturally a lot of evidence. The person who came, brought Zhoupi."
Zhou Pi and Zhou Erniang were completely panicked, and he knew everything about him.
A man in his thirties walked in.
"Caomin Zhoupi has met the old lady and the eldest lady."
Because I didn't know that Nangong Min was the third lady, I didn't salute, and Nangong Min didn't think anything was there.
"Who are you?" asked the old lady.
"Caomin is Zhou Erniang's nephew."
"Oh? Then why are you here?"
"Report to the old lady, Caomin came here to expose his aunt's crime."
"Then you tell the truth."
