After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 245 Zheng was furious

Jiang Xiyu thought of a person, a person who was impossible but had no other choice.

Jiang Xiyu frowned and looked at Zheng with empty eyes.

She must have thought of that person, but deep down in her heart she simply couldn't accept it, as if her lifelong beliefs had collapsed in an instant.

She had experienced this feeling deeply in her previous life, so she could empathize with it.

Perhaps Nanny Li was also worried about Zheng's situation, so she took a group of maids to go and call for help.

After a while, Nanny Li brought more than 30 shopkeepers into Zheng's yard.

There were too many people and the main house was too crowded.

Jiang Xiyu asked the maids to carry Zheng to the yard, and then sent the maids out to guard her.

Now that she knew that this was a family scandal, Jiang Xiyu didn't want outsiders to see this joke, so she sent all the old women away.

When Zheng saw the shopkeepers standing in the yard, her eyes instantly turned fierce and she asked, "Jiang said that you falsified the accounts in the public account books. Is that true?"

The shopkeepers knew it was about this matter again, and looked at each other again, not daring to deny or admit it.

"Speak." Seeing that they were hesitant and didn't dare to speak, Zheng was so angry that she slammed the chair and shouted.

The shopkeepers were so frightened that their knees went weak and they all knelt on the ground.

None of the other shopkeepers dared to speak. Seeing this, the cloth shopkeeper could only speak first, "The servants did indeed falsify the accounts..."

Hearing this, Zheng instantly became furious. Before Shopkeeper Qin could finish his sentence, she said in a hurry, "You really did cook the books."

Seeing Zheng so excited, the shopkeepers were even more afraid to speak.

The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, they made false accounts, but we didn't embezzle a single ounce of the money in the public account. Even if the old lady and the mistress wanted to settle the accounts, they shouldn't come to us."

As soon as Shopkeeper Qin said this, the other shopkeepers immediately resonated with him, and they all cried out in injustice, "Yes, we didn't embezzle a single ounce of silver. Madam, you really shouldn't have sued us all to Shuntian Prefecture."

"We are just servants who obey our master. As servants, we have no choice. We beg for mercy from the old lady and the lady."

"Now that the Marquis has returned, he knows about this matter. I beg the old lady and the lady to forgive us servants."

Every word the shopkeepers said made Zheng dizzy.

Everything is true.

Thinking about how she had spent all her life over the past few decades into the hole in the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion that could never be filled, Zheng became furious. She even ignored her leg injury, suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Manager Qin's collar.

"Tell me, where is my silver? Where has all my silver gone?"

It had been decades, and she had used up all her dowry in these decades. She had thought that all the shops in the Marquis' Mansion had been making losses every month, but now they told her that everything was fake.

The shop in the Marquis' Mansion was not losing money at all, but was making a profit every month. Only she was so foolish as to think that as the wife of the Marquis' Mansion, she should use her dowry to fill the hole in the mansion that could never be filled.

The shopkeeper was frightened by Zheng's ferocious appearance and said nervously with a trembling voice, "This servant doesn't know either. I just put the silver from the shop's profits and the silver you and your wife put into the shop every month in a box. At the beginning of each month, the Marquis will send someone to collect it."

Jiang Xiyu narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that.

Xu Rui is indeed the beneficiary, no wonder he just said that he would return all the money to her!

Whenever she thought about how Xu Rui had watched her act foolishly for so many years and even used her dowry money, she was so angry that she wanted to kill him.

Zheng was also completely stunned, her expression was stiff, and her excited face gradually turned pale.

The Marquis would send someone to collect the money at the beginning of every month. When she first added money to the Marquis's treasury, Xu Rui was only one month old. The Marquis he was talking about definitely wasn't Xu Rui, at least not in the past few years.

Thinking that the man had hurt her like this, Zheng's heart ached as if it were stabbed by thousands of knives.

Zheng suddenly turned pale and covered her chest with her hands, as if she was in great pain. Before she could say a word, she fainted.

"Old Madam." Nanny Li was terrified when she saw Zheng fainting. She immediately shouted, "Quick, call the palace doctor."

Seeing that Zheng's face looked strange, Jiang Xiyu immediately took the opportunity to secretly check her pulse while helping her up.

The pulse is chaotic, qi is deficient and blood is stagnant, and the blood vessels are not smooth. These are signs of a stroke!

Jiang Xiyu didn't really want to destroy Zheng. She came here today just to know the truth. She didn't expect that Zheng could not resist the stimulation.

"Help the person into the room first."

The maids who had been sent outside to watch the yard had already run over after hearing Li Ma's scream. When they heard Jiang Xiyu's instructions, they worked together to carry Zheng back to the room.

"Go back, wait until the old lady wakes up. If she wants to tell you something, come back."

"Yes." When the shopkeepers heard Jiang Xiyu asking them to go back, they felt as if they had been pardoned. They kowtowed to Jiang Xiyu one after another and then retreated.

Soon, the court doctor rushed over.

Jiang Xiyu also followed him into the house.

Zheng was still unconscious. Jiang Xiyu briefly explained the situation, "Mother must have been upset and passed out due to anger. Let's check on her first."

"Yes." The court doctor responded and stepped forward to take Zheng's pulse.

As soon as he felt Zheng's pulse, the court doctor's face turned serious. "What happened to the old lady that made her so anxious?"

"Is it serious?" Jiang Xiyu asked deliberately.

The court doctor sighed softly, "The old lady looks like she's having a stroke. I'm afraid it's not going to be good."

When Nanny Li heard that Zheng had suffered a stroke, she was instantly frightened.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, "Is your life in danger?"

The court doctor quickly shook his head, "Not yet, but the old lady's condition is quite serious this time, probably caused by anxiety. Although her life is not in danger, I'm afraid she will have to spend the rest of her life in bed."

"Old Madam..." Upon hearing this, Nanny Li knelt down in front of Zheng on the bed and cried inconsolably.

Jiang Xiyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt sad in her heart.

Although Zheng was not a good person and did not treat her well, she could understand her sadness and desolation at this moment, and they could be considered to be in the same boat!

"Give her some medicine."

"Yes." The court doctor responded quickly.

In fact, judging from the old lady's current condition, the medicines he prescribed are of little use to her, but the medicine still needs to be prescribed.

After Xu Rui came back, he also received news that Zheng had fallen ill.

When he arrived at Zheng's room, Nanny Li was feeding Zheng medicine.

"My Lord." Seeing Xu Rui coming back, everyone in the room bowed.
