The next day, the old lady took Yu Miaoqi and Lin to continue their visit to the Prince's Mansion, and Yu Xiang and Yu Siyu accompanied them all the way. The princess's throat was also burned. After just a face-to-face meeting, she sent the two Lins to a side hall for training. She and the old lady Yu Xiang and others exchanged notes with each other, and no grudges were left between their words. .
In the next half month, a group of people visited the poisoned female guests one after another. Since the Queen and the Crown Princess had graciously forgiven her, they did not dare to be aggressive and only gave a few words. But the reputations of Yu Miaoqi and the Lin family were still ruined. In the past, there were still a few acquaintances in the Yu Mansion who could interact with each other, but now the Yu Mansion is deserted.
The dignitaries either intentionally or unintentionally alienated the Yu family, trying to exclude the Yu family from the circle of the top elites in Beijing and completely isolate them. This action was exactly what Yu Pinyan wanted. Without the human ties, he could act without any distractions when the emperor wanted to cut off the major families in the future.
Cheng Kangdi was even more happy to see the success. Yu Pinyan is now a loyal minister, a good minister, a lonely minister, and an invincible general. Not only did he want to make the best use of this sword, he also wanted to leave it to the prince. It doesn't matter how bad the reputation is, as long as the ability is not bad.
So although this matter had some impact on the Yu Mansion, it did not damage Yu Pinyan's status in the eyes of Emperor Cheng Kang.
After visiting the last family that day, the old lady summoned everyone to the main courtyard to discuss matters.
The weather was getting colder and colder, so a fire cage was burned in the hall, and a table was set up on it and covered with a quilt. The old lady, who was weak after being poisoned, was huddled in the quilt to keep warm. When she saw her grandchildren, she quickly invited them to sit down around the fire cage.
After Yu Pinyan put down his sister, he sat next to her. Yu Siyu sat on the other side of the old lady, and the four of them occupied the spot.
Seeing Mother Ma coming in with a box in her arms, Yu Xiang asked, "Want to play mahjong? I just happened to bring some golden melon seeds."
After hearing this, Yu Siyu also went to dig out her wallet, looking very interested.
Yu Pinyan smiled and took off the purse from his waist and handed it to his sister. What was inside was not golden melon seeds, but fried melon seeds with five spices. Yu Xiang was even happier than she had gotten the golden melon seeds. She poured them all out, spread out a handkerchief, and raised her chin at her brother, "Peel out the melon seeds and put them together. I like to chew them in big mouths. That's it." Call it fragrant!"
Yu Pinyan pinched the tip of her nose, followed his instructions, picked up a melon seed and peeled it. Yu Xiang did not dare to hide his secrets, so he naturally fed the melon seeds into his ancestor's mouth.
"What about me?" Yu Siyu was angry.
"Peel it off yourself, don't you have any hands or feet?" Yu Xiang waved her hand, took the box, opened it and sighed, "It turns out they are not mahjong tiles."
After her trouble, the old lady's mood improved a lot. She smiled and said, "I didn't call you here just for fun. This is Yu Miaoqi's account since she was the housekeeper. I will correct the account today in front of everyone. Then let Mrs. Lin pack her things and leave."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone report outside the door, "Old madam, madam and the second young lady are here."
Lin walked in front, followed by Yu Miaoqi. Both of them wore plain clothes and applied a little makeup to cover up their haggard complexions. There were two majestic nuns standing on each side of Yu Miaoqi, followed by four maids. If someone who didn't know the inside story saw her, they would think that her status in the Hou Mansion was very respected.
The two of them knelt down and saluted. Seeing that there was no more room beside the fire cage, they had no choice but to pick up two cold stools and sit down.
The old lady's throat has healed and she said in a deep voice, "Sit closer and hand over the accounts clearly in front of everyone, and then Mrs. Lin will go back with the dowry."
The four nuns will eventually return to the palace. What is the difference between checking the accounts in front of them and offending Yu Miaoqi on the spot? She was really unable to manage such a large Houfu, but in order to prevent herself from losing to Yu Xiang, she could only try her best to support it. And she is the most selfish. When the dowry and the interests of the Hou family cannot be balanced, she naturally chooses to make up for the dowry with short-term donations.
She grew up in the Shen family and is very proficient in accounting. No matter how full of holes the account book is, she can fill it up. If it was just the old lady checking the accounts, that would be enough, but the old lady also called Yu Pinyan and Yu Xiang together.
Leaving aside Yu Xiang’s eyesight, Yu Pinyan has arrested countless corrupt officials and audited countless cleverly fake accounts. As long as they briefly flipped through the account books, they could bring her back to her original form.
Thinking of the money she had lost, Yu Miaoqi's heart went cold. A thick layer of sweat broke out on her spine on a cold day. When the cold wind outside the door blew, even her soul felt a biting coldness.
"Look at you shaking like that, come here and warm yourself by the fire." Yu Siyu smiled and waved to her, but there was endless malice in his eyes.
"Grandma, I suddenly feel unwell. Can you go down and rest first and settle the account tomorrow?" Yu Miaoqi tried to delay time, and then persuaded Mrs. Lin to take the blame for her. Because Ms. Lin was still in the dark about this matter, she would naturally be shocked when she heard about it at first, and then let others see the clues.
"You can go back, Mrs. Lin will stay." The old lady took out the account book from the box and looked at Yu Siyu, "I heard that you have full authority to take care of those villages in the countryside. I will let my ancestors take a look today. Have you made any progress?"
Yu Siyu readily agreed, and Yu Xiang also picked up a stack of account books. How could Yu Miaoqi dare to go back alone, so she had to send the four nuns and four girls away with kind words, and walked over to sit down with Mrs. Lin.
"Mother, please give your daughter-in-law another chance, mother, daughter-in-law..." Mrs. Lin tried to beg the old lady for mercy. Privately, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the account books. She just thought it was a mess caused by the gang of slaves who deceived the superiors and concealed it from the inferiors. It had nothing to do with her daughter. But at that time, those servants put the blame on her daughter in front of a full house of guests. She was unable to refute the words and had to bear the responsibility.
The old lady interrupted her sternly, "Shut up and come back to talk to me after checking the accounts!" As she spoke, she had someone send three abacus.
The matter of **** feeding has nothing to do with men. Yu Pinyan did not participate and only smiled at his sister's serious face. Yu Xiang noticed his burning gaze and looked at her ancestor. She found that she was immersed in settling accounts and did not pay attention to herself. Her moist red lips pouted slightly. This was her usual move when asking for a kiss from her brother, and at the end she gave him a very provocative look.
Yu Pinyan's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened. If there weren't so many people in the hall, he would have really wanted to hold the little goblin in his arms and love her.
After Yu Xiang teased his brother, he opened the account book and looked at it seriously. She browsed very quickly, and others had only finished less than half of it. She had already read four or five books, and circled the suspicious places with a red pen. Less than half an hour later, she had read all the account books. She took out her abacus and fiddled with it quickly with her fingers. For a while, there was only a series of crackling sounds in the hall.
The old lady and Yu Siyu had already stopped moving. When she finished counting one volume, she handed over another volume, as fast as lightning.
The fine sweat on Yu Miaoqi's forehead has condensed into sweat droplets, flowing down her hairline and into her neck. This was the first time she saw Yu Xiang's accounting with her own eyes, and she was frightened by his sharp eyesight and extremely fast speed. It was precisely because Yu Xiang was so capable that she aroused her competitive spirit and desperately wanted to surpass her.
However, after struggling for more than half a year, she discovered dejectedly that the gap between her and Yu Xiang was not just between brothers as she imagined. She seemed far from it.
She quietly moved her arm, pulled Lin's hand over, and wrote one stroke at a time on Lin's palm, "Mother, help me!"
Lin glanced at her in confusion.
She wrote it again, with deep despair and pleading in her eyes. Lin suddenly realized something, her eyes widened, her pupils shrank, and she asked silently: Did you really use the middle feed?
Yu Miaoqi had to nod and admit. She originally just wanted to embezzle a little bit and then pay it back when the shop made money. Little did he know that the shop was losing money more and more, and no matter how much money was spent, there would be no sound. She became anxious now, but she had no choice but to piece together and make do here and there. If there was no other way, she would never dare to take advantage of the old lady.
Ms. Lin was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She originally thought about letting the old lady check it first. After checking, she found that there was no problem with the account book, so she just begged for a few words and kept it. But if her daughter is really greedy for money from the father-in-law, she may have no choice but to be kicked out. This is her and Junjie's home, with many beautiful memories preserved. She is reluctant to leave, let alone lose her status as Junjie's wife...
If she can't be buried with Junjie after death, where will she find him after she goes to hell? Thinking like this, Mrs. Lin felt endless resentment towards Yu Miaoqi. However, seeing her eyes full of fear, Mrs. Lin softened her heart again, and her internal organs seemed to have been scratched by a steel knife.
When the two exchanged glances, Yu Xiang closed the last account book and let out a sigh of relief. Yu Pinyan rubbed her sore fingertips and fed her another cup of tea.
"Yu Miaoqi, you are like a groundhog, you know?" No one expected that this would be her first sentence.
The old lady and Yu Siyu were stunned, and Yu Pinyan also had an inexplicable expression.
Yu Miaoqi was not sure what this meant, so she forced a smile and said, "Sister, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding." Yu Xiang patted the account book, "Look at you, dig a hole here, dig a hole there, fill a handful of soil here, fill a handful of soil there, you dug up a good piece of land. There are countless holes, do you think you look like a groundhog?"
Yu Miaoqi understood this time, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Yu Xiang's brisk tone suddenly turned harsh, "If you don't have the ability, don't take on such a big business. If the dowry shop suffers a loss, you can close it and go out of business. Why use the public money to make up for it? Are you the public company's money? Your private property? I've seen a lot of people of all kinds, but this is the first time I've seen someone as incompetent, prodigal, and greedy as you. In just half a year, you've been greedy for 68,448 Two pieces of silver, tell yourself what to do."
"No, Qier didn't get the money, it was me!" Before Yu Miaoqi could reply, Lin had already rushed to the old lady's feet. She had lost her husband and son, and could not afford to lose her daughter again.
