The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 42 The General Ledger
The third lady felt guilty, and signaled her personal servant girl to quickly fetch the two land deeds.

As the sky outside gradually darkened, Baimei lit the oil lamp she had prepared earlier.

Under the light, everyone noticed the flushed face of the third lady.

Seeing that she took the initiative to hand over the land deed, Xia Jing didn't make things difficult for her.

The fourth wife, Zhao Qiuyue, was clever enough, seeing Xia Jing looking at her, she didn't even need Xia Jing to speak, she took the initiative to confess and asked the servant girl to come back quickly to get the land deed.

Three of the four 'daughter-in-laws' dared to covet her property after the original owner's funeral. When they first reached out, they were not afraid that the original owner would be so angry that the coffin could not be covered, so they stood up and asked them to settle accounts?
Seeing that the two sisters-in-law sent their maids back to get the title deeds, the second lady hurriedly sent her maids back to bring the title deeds and the screen.

Seeing the title deed and the screen brought back by the servant girl, the eldest lady felt angry and annoyed, "Why are you so shallow-sighted? Back then, when the mother and concubine's bones were not cold, you planned on her private property? You are not afraid that she will crawl out of the coffin in the middle of the night to find you Settle accounts!"

"Cough cough.!"

The fourth lady coughed a few times, looked at Xia Jing who was expressionless, and smiled at her slightly embarrassed.

Madam is so right!
Didn't this old ancestor climb out of the coffin, and now he's sitting here looking for them to settle the score!
Xia Jing took back her property, and then waved her daughters-in-law out, two of the four daughter-in-laws were older than her, listening to them talk about each other, Xia Jing's heart ached!

As if he was really in his seventies and eighties.

"Have you laughed enough?" Xia Jing rolled her eyes at Zeng Yan who was standing in the corner.

Zeng Yan squeezed his nose and came out from the corner. The corner of his mouth turned up, indicating that he was in a good mood, "Well, princess, if there is nothing wrong, the old servant will leave first."

Xia Jing wasn't angry either, she just raised her eyes to look at him, "Well, there is one last question, has Nanny Cui gone back to be raised?"

Nanny Cui was the woman in charge bought back by the original owner before entering the mansion. They entered the palace together with the dowry, and have been waiting around for more than ten years. Take it back to retire.

Thinking about daring to give away her private property to others, it must be because of the benefits of several daughter-in-laws that she dared to use her private property as a favor for personal gain.

Zeng Yan restrained the smile on his face, and hummed with a complicated mood, "The family only gave her grace because she was loyal to serving you, but I didn't expect that she was also a white-eyed wolf in secret."

He used to respect Nanny Cui quite a lot, but he didn't expect him to be wrong sometimes.

Xia Jing patted the account book, and said with a relieved smile: "People's hearts are the most difficult to see through. Seeing that she sent them out and recorded them in the account book before she left, she will not be held accountable for the time being. Let's turn this matter over. "

Besides, now that everyone is going their separate ways, Nanny Cui doesn't know where she is at the moment, and she can't pursue it.

Maybe we will never have the chance to see each other again in this life.

Zeng Yan sighed inwardly, and bowed to leave: "The princess is still kind-hearted. It is her blessing to have a master like you, but she did not cherish it."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, is she kind?

This was the first time I heard someone praise her for her kindness!
Zeng Yan glanced at her quickly, then lowered his head: "If there is nothing wrong, then the old slave will leave first."

"Well, let's go."

After Zeng Yan left, Hongmei walked in, and she said while tidying up the ledgers, "The servants and Baimei take the time to check these ledgers again, in case something is missed."

"There's nothing to check, except for the one taken by Li Chengxian, everything else is correct." Xia Jing took out a bound book from the ancient books that Hongmei brought back, and flipped through it.

Hongmei's eyes widened in shock, "The Princess is a married woman, and she came back to take your private property?"

This is too shameless!
Baimei also opened her small mouth in surprise, "Princess, that servant is going to call the princess over now."

Xia Jing didn't take her eyes off the book, and smiled coldly: "Don't worry about it, the daughters-in-law have all handed over, and she will hear the news before tomorrow, I want to see how thick-skinned she is, and she can hold on for a few days. Come to say hello?"

She believes that even if Li Chengxian can persevere, Madam Chang Pinghou is not necessarily. She is a face-saving person, how can Li Chengxian lose Chang Pinghou's face?

It's just surprising that Li Chengxian also sent a maid to bring a wooden box just after the eldest lady of the Wangfu sent someone to bring the matching cards and ledgers from the mansion.

Hongmei opened it and took a look, "Tsk, princess, it's really unexpected, how could the princess handle things so simply this time?"

He really sent back a set of precious jewelry that Wang Hao passed by here.

Xia Jing knew from her memory that this stepdaughter was not easy to get along with, and because she was a few years older than her, she never took her seriously.

Usually when the two meet, Li Chengxian always has her nostrils upturned, which is very annoying!

Xia Jing asked the little girl to tidy up her things, and she felt a headache just looking at the pile of ledgers sent back by the eldest lady.

Baimei: "Princess, why did you treat them lightly tonight? If you want your slaves to tell you, you should punish them severely and teach them a lesson!"

Xia Jing chuckled: "You girl, I don't even mind, why do you still mind?"

Baimei's small mouth kept babbling: "The servants are not ashamed of them, and they dare to take the things of the elders. These properties should belong to the fifth master, but because of their greed, the fifth master almost lost a large sum of money. If you don't punish them this time, you may be more courageous next time!"

"Your master, I'm back, do you think they can still steal money from me?" Xia Jing nodded her forehead, "You may underestimate me, your master!"

"princess--"

"Okay, now punish them, the right time, the right place, and the right people, and don't occupy anything. In the end, I don't have to make myself a lonely family. Then, in this troubled world, how will your master and I live alone?"

Xia Jing never worried that a person would not be able to survive in this world, but people lived in groups, so she had someone to take care of her in this house, and she had to be respected by everyone in the house.

At present, life is still decent, so there is no need to leave this team.

Baimei stomped her feet unwillingly, "This time it's really cheap for them."

The next day, the team walked for half a day to a small county town.

The city gate was closed tightly, and many refugees were stationed in the open space outside the city gate.

The arrival of the Qianwang Mansion motorcade aroused their commotion, but the guards with knives in the team temporarily suppressed the greed in their eyes, making them dare not act rashly for a while!
This huge team naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers and horses guarding the city wall.

"My lord, someone has come out at the gate of the city."

The city gate opened a small gate, and a group of officers and soldiers ran out.

King Qian signaled Zeng Yan: "Go and negotiate with them to see if you can buy a batch of grain from the county?"

Now part of the food in the team was lost during the melee that night, and the remaining food has almost bottomed out after these days of consumption, and the last remaining food can last for three days at most.

Therefore, when passing through this county, King Qian wanted to buy a batch of grain, but
The county in front of him is too small, there may not be food in the county, and even if there is food, the county magistrate may not be willing to buy it for him.
