After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 238 All Fake Accounts

Jingyu Garden.

Jiang Xiyu was also very confused, and at this time she also hoped that Xu Rui could come back soon.

Now she just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, escape from Yonglin Marquis Mansion, escape from Xu Rui and King Qin, she just wanted to return to Jiang Kun and Jiang Yuan as soon as possible.

Deji, who was guarding outside Jingyu Garden, was also worried.

Although he knew that Jiang Xiyu would definitely not do anything to let Xu Rui down, in recent days, Jiang Xiyu always asked Qing'er to go next door to deliver medicinal food, so he had to tell Xu Rui about this.

Before Xu Rui left Beijing, he specifically instructed him to pay special attention to the movements of the King of Qin.

Deji carefully considered his words and sent a letter to Xu Rui.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

After finishing the work at the restaurant, Jiang Xiyu thought about the bill.

Early in the morning, he sat in a teahouse opposite a cloth shop belonging to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, observing the situation.

Nanny Yu was recording what they bought at the cloth shop.

This was what Nanny Yu reminded her, saying that the accounts could be falsified, but the number of guests coming in and out every day could not be falsified.

She also wanted to see if the cloth shop's business was as bad as recorded in the account book, making no profit every month and requiring her to subsidize so much silver.

While Jiang Xiyu was thinking, many customers came out to buy cloth.

Seeing this, Nanny Yu quickly took out her account book and started recording. "Madam, judging from the customers in the cloth shop over the past three days, it's impossible for the cloth shop to lose money. At least it should make several thousand taels of silver a month."

Jiang Xiyu has been sitting here for three days. She could tell without Madam telling her.

The cloth shop's business wasn't booming, but it was definitely not bad either. Many customers came to buy things every day. Although it didn't make tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, it certainly didn't lose money every month.

So the account books that the owner of the cloth shop gave her were all fake.

Who instructed him to do this?

Was it him, the Zheng family, or even Xu Rui?

Jiang Xiyu is now full of anger. No matter who is behind this, she will find him out. She doesn't care about anything else, but she must get back the one million taels of silver she put in.

Jiang Xiyu didn't want to watch any more, so she stood up and said to Nanny and Qing'er, "Come on, accompany me to the restaurant."

Although the two of them didn't understand what was going on, they could see Jiang Xiyu's serious expression and didn't dare to be negligent. They immediately packed up their things and followed Jiang Xiyu out of the teahouse.

Jiang Xiyu arrived at the restaurant and went straight to the third floor to find Gu Yunling.

"How come you have time to come here today?" Seeing Jiang Xiyu coming over, Gu Yunling greeted her warmly and poured her a cup of tea.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sister Yun with something." Jiang Xiyu went straight to the point.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's solemn expression, Gu Yunling also became nervous, "Did something happen?"

Jiang Xiyu looked at Gu Yunling and said ashamedly, "This is my family's matter. I shouldn't have troubled Sister Yun."

Gu Yunling held her hand and said, "What's our relationship? If you have something to say, just tell me. Is it troublesome or not?"

After Gu Yunling said this, Jiang Xiyu spoke directly, "Sister Yun gave Madam Yu to me, and then I discovered that there were problems with the account books in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion."

Jiang Xiyu's words instantly piqued Gu Yunling's interest. "Did someone falsify the accounts in your public account book and steal money from it?"

Jiang Xiyu smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, Sister Yun, when I got married, my father gave me most of the wealth of the General's Mansion as my dowry."

Gu Yunling raised an eyebrow, "I see. The grandeur of your wedding, spanning ten miles, has yet to be surpassed by any noblewoman in Kyoto."

The ten miles of red wedding that she had back then is almost as beautiful as hers.

But she was a princess, her father was a prince, and her grandfather was the emperor. When she got married, her grandfather was still alive. Not to mention the dowry her father gave her, even the extra money her grandfather gave her was far beyond the reach of those noble ladies.

But Jiang Xiyu was just the daughter of a military general. The reason why she could have such a beautiful wedding was because Jiang Kun gave her all the family wealth as a dowry.

It has to be said that Jiang Kun really had nothing to say about his daughter. With so many dignitaries in Kyoto City, who would be willing to prepare such a dowry for his daughter? What's more, Xiaoxi has a younger brother. Jiang Kun emptied the General's Mansion for his daughter, but did not consider his son at all.

When Jiang Xiyu heard about her dowry, she sighed again in shame. "My father did give me a lot of dowry, as much as one million taels of silver. But in the five years since I married into the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion, I have donated all of it to the Marquis's family."

"What?" Jiang Xiyu's words startled Gu Yunling so much that she jumped up from her chair. "You used all the one million taels of silver to fill the hole of the Yonglin Marquis?"

Not to mention Gu Yunling, even Nanny Yu was stunned when she heard it.

One million taels of silver!

That was a sum of money that she could not earn in dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of lifetimes!

Madam actually added so much silver to the Yonglin Marquis's treasury.

Before, she thought that the Marquis was good to his wife, but now, when she heard about the one million taels of silver, she instantly felt that the Marquis was just so-so towards his wife. If the Marquis was really good to his wife, how could he be willing to let her use her dowry to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Yunling said anxiously, "How can you be so stupid? How can you use your own dowry to fill the account of the Marquis' Mansion? No matter how rich the Marquis' Mansion is, it is not yours. Only your own dowry is yours."

When Jiang Xiyu thought about the ending of her previous life, her face turned a little pale and she sighed softly.

"I was really stupid before. They asked me to manage the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, but the public account of the Marquis' Mansion was in the red every month. I told my mother-in-law about this, and she told me to find a solution myself. It was also because I was inexperienced and thought that the losses in the public account of the Marquis' Mansion were due to my poor management of the Marquis' Mansion, so I used the dowry money to make up for it.

I haven't kept a detailed account of my finances for so many years, but three months ago, when I wanted to use some silver to make up for it, I discovered that all of my one million taels of dowry had been spent in the Marquis's Mansion over the past few years."

Gu Yunling didn't think Jiang Xiyu was stupid. This child was just too simple and had no intention of calculating for herself.

Another thing is that the people in the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion are so shrewd. They know that the public account in the mansion is a bottomless pit, but they still let Jiang Xiyu take charge of the household expenses. They were so happy to see her put the dowry money into the public account.

Gu Yunling thought of something and frowned as she looked at Jiang Xiyu, "You've found out that there's something wrong with the Marquis's account, right?"

It must be someone from the Yonglin Marquis Mansion who deliberately tampered with the public accounts and deliberately cheated Xiaoxi of her money!

Jiang Xiyu nodded and briefly told Gu Yunling about what he had observed over the past few days.

Hearing this, Gu Yunling was shocked.

A profit of several thousand taels and a loss of thousands of taels, the difference is a lot of money.
