Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers
Chapter 39 Mother Xiao Comes Again
After all the ups and downs, Jiang Yue was too tired to get up.Gu Mo had no choice but to carry her into the bathtub and let Ye Zi serve her in the bath, while he himself returned to the study refreshed.
"Is there any news from the Shangshu Mansion?"
"Master Shang Shu really loves his daughter as much as his life. Lin Rujin committed the crime of killing the court official, and he actually went to the prime minister's side to walk around for her."
Dan Qing shook his head and talked about the news he had inquired from the Shangshu Mansion: "It's a pity that Boss Lin thought he was a good relative who had climbed into the door, but he didn't expect that he even sent his life in."
Gu Mo smiled coldly when he heard the words: "Do you really think that Lin Shangshu is covering the bottom for his daughter?"
"Is not it?"
"The real purpose of his move is to please Prime Minister Su, Lin Rujin? It's just a pawn in his hands."
Gu Mo's slender fingers seemed to be teasing the koi in the fish pond, with no expression on his face.
Danqing was taken aback by what his master said, and he didn't quite understand.
"Why do you say that he did it to curry favor with Prime Minister Su? Wasn't the Shang Shufu the one who committed the crime?"
"Let me ask you, did Mr. Li die from poison?" Gu Mo asked abruptly.
"Prozac."
Gu Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Although Mr. Li has a low official position, he has retired. But he was in charge of the water transportation in the capital.
Nowadays, many of the people in the Canal Department were brought out by him, and they all have the same tough temper as him.Back then, Prime Minister Su could stop many good things. "
Gu Momo swayed the water plants in the pond, his eyes became deeper and deeper: "Now that Mr. Li died of the disgraceful drug Prozac, it is the best opportunity for the Prime Minister to make a fuss. Isn't that to please the prime minister?"
"You mean that the one who killed Mr. Li was actually Shang Shu, not Lin Rujin?" Danqing was a little surprised.
"Kill someone? Lin Rujin doesn't have the courage."
Proud as green bamboo's long hands left the water, causing ripples, "She is just a stone to throw a stone to ask for directions. A useless daughter, of course, for Lin Shangshu, he wants to squeeze out the last trace of value as much as possible."
After listening to Gu Mo's words, Danqing suddenly felt that Lin Rujin was really pitiful, and she was still being used by her father.
"Then why don't we do something? It would not be a good thing if the Canal Department is under the control of the prime minister."
The Department of Canals is in charge of all the waterways leading to the capital. If they are taken by someone with a heart, there will be a lot of money to be fished out of it.
"Since the prime minister wants to swim in the water of the canal department, we naturally want to accompany him." Gu Mo restrained his emotions, and a chill appeared all over his body.
Xiao's mansion, Xiao's mother, who has been raising her for a long time, finally has the strength to get out of bed.To celebrate, Zhao Yantang specially ordered the people below to cook a table of delicious dishes.
But when it was time for dinner, Zhao Yantang helped the old lady to the dining hall, only to see that there were only four meat dishes on the table, and the rest were vegetarian dishes that were usually used as garnishes.
"What's going on here? Didn't you ask you to make more nourishing medicinal meals for the old lady? That's how you fooled me?"
Zhao Yantang felt that she was underestimated, and the anger in her heart rushed up all of a sudden.
Xiao's mother's face is also not good-looking, Xiao's family is the home of scholars for generations.For food and other things, there are strict requirements on how many dishes, meat and vegetables should be served in each meal.
Although the Xiao family is not as good as it used to be, it has not fallen to such a level. Besides, didn't Jiang Yue open a restaurant and make money?How could they eat so poorly? These people must be greedy because of their dirty hands and feet.
"I haven't been in charge of the house for a few days, and you are so presumptuous, how dare you covet the money in the house."
Although Mother Xiao's body is still not fully recovered, she is still majestic. As soon as she spoke, the people below immediately knelt down in a row.
"Madam, spare your life. The servants will never dare to be greedy for money."
"Don't dare to be greedy for money, then what do you think about this dish?" Zhao Yantang supported the old lady to sit down, and began to question her as if she was a master.
The people below, you look at me, I look at you, all cowering, but no one speaks.
Now Xiao's mother became even more angry. She threw the cane on the ground and got angry: "Say! Whoever dares to hide something will be beaten out with a stick!"
"Madam, please forgive me, servant girl said, servant girl said." Seeing that she was angry, the leading maidservant immediately recruited her.
"Old lady, the servants are really not greedy for money. Some time ago, because of the young master's affairs, most of the money in the mansion has been confiscated by officials. In addition, you are not in good health these days, and you spend a lot of money just to buy medicine. A lot of money."
The servant girl continued to cry while wiping her tears: "We spend money like running water for the daily maintenance of our mansion, but there is no income. There is not much money left in the mansion."
"How could this be?" Xiao's mother was dizzy, "Bring me the account book!"
The people below handed over the account book after a while, and Xiao's mother took the account book and turned it over page by page, carefully checking the accounts on it.
As a result, the more I looked at it, the colder my heart became.
For more than a whole month, I remember that it was all spent money, and I really didn't get a single cent.
"Hmph! Good job Jiang Yue, you took money from Xiao's mansion to open a restaurant, but you didn't pay a penny. Maybe it's all used to raise wild men!"
Mother Xiao stood up and threw the ledger on the ground.
"Have someone prepare the carriage and go to the Duke's Mansion!"
She's going to ask that bitch, where did all the Xiao's money go.In the past few days, she has been so ecstatic that she may have forgotten that she is still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
When Xiao's mother rushed to the Duke's Mansion in a hurry, Jiang Yue was looking at the account book.She also knew the situation of Xiao's mansion these days, so when Ye Zi said that Xiao's mother was coming, Jiang Yue quickly took out the title deed of Wangyue Tower and her own dowry list from the bottom of the box.
"Jiang Yue, you bitch, you married into my Xiao family, not only disrespecting your mother-in-law, but now you dare to covet the Xiao family's money, it's simply outrageous!"
As soon as she arrived in the yard, Jiang Yue heard Xiao's mother cursing.
Jiang Yue wasn't angry at all, she just took it as a fly.He straightened his clothes and walked out with a smile on his face.
"Mother, what's the matter with you? Why are you so angry? Could it be that the tonic that my daughter-in-law sent last time was too much?"
"You!" Xiao's mother was recalled by Jiang Yue's words, and when she thought of that, she couldn't beat her anger.
She wanted to hit Jiang Yue with a cane, but her movements were too slow, and Jiang Yue avoided it in one fell swoop.
"Mother, your body is not as strong as before, you have to be careful." Jiang Yue still did not forget to sneer.
Zhao Yantang next to her supported Xiao's mother who was about to fall, and stared fiercely at Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, we don't bother to talk to you today, so hurry up and return the title deed to our Xiao family!"
"Title, what title?"
"Is there any news from the Shangshu Mansion?"
"Master Shang Shu really loves his daughter as much as his life. Lin Rujin committed the crime of killing the court official, and he actually went to the prime minister's side to walk around for her."
Dan Qing shook his head and talked about the news he had inquired from the Shangshu Mansion: "It's a pity that Boss Lin thought he was a good relative who had climbed into the door, but he didn't expect that he even sent his life in."
