Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 50
Grandma Wang was taken to the master's study and was about to face the master's questioning. To tell the truth, Grandma Wang was still a little scared.

Grandma Wang encouraged herself secretly: Don't be afraid, the eldest lady has said that the master does not dare to do anything to her.

What the eldest lady said is definitely not wrong.

Grandma Wang took a deep breath and straightened her back.

"The servant has seen the master."

Master Song remained silent, using silence and a serious expression to release his pressure.

Grandma Wang's palms were sweating, and she gritted her teeth to resist this silent duel.

After a long time, Mr. Song saw that Grandma Wang was sweating on her forehead. He felt that it was almost done, and then he slowly said: "Grandma Wang, how many years have you been in the mansion?"

"Sir, this is the 19th year."

"So, you can be considered an old man in the house. Madam has never treated you badly, right?"

"My lord, no. The slave came forward to testify, and it was not for the sake of the person. Although the slave is the private property of the master, if the master so casually kills a slave who has served her for many years, the slave is afraid that one day the slave will do something wrong. He will also end up with the same fate as Grandma Cui."

"You have framed my wife for injustice, are you not afraid that I will settle the score with you?"

Grandma Wang plucked up her courage: "The prefect said... He said that he would also ask the slave for questioning. If the slave is good or bad, it will be even more unclear about the madam... right?"

Master Song:  …

I also know that there is an army of rebel generals, this old cunning slave.

The problem is, he really can't do anything to her at the moment.

"I am not an unreasonable person. I came to you to ask you, did you really see what happened that night?"

"Look...see it clearly, this slave can really see it."

"No, you saw it wrong. What you saw was just their attempt to scare Grandma Cui."

Grandma Wang looked at the master in confusion.

"No, sir..."

"Aunt Wang, I know that you are on good terms with Aunt Cui, and you also had the idea that the rabbit would die and the fox would be sad. That's why you impulsively stood up and said something you shouldn't have said. As long as you admit that you were wrong, I can bind you to your body. How about returning it to you and giving you a generous pension so that you can live your life in advance?" Mr. Song threw out the bait.

Grandma Wang was secretly happy, as expected, the lady was right.

"Feng...how much is Feng?" Grandma Wang asked weakly.

"100 taels."

Grandma Wang looked confused.

"200 taels."

"300 taels." Grandma Wang seemed to have made great determination.

Mr. Song hesitated for a moment: "300 taels is 300 taels. After the court, I will return the 300 taels and your body deed to you."

Mr. Song snorted coldly in his heart: I'm afraid you'll lose your life with these 300 taels.

"That won't work. You have to give the deed to the slave first, and then give the slave a deposit of 100 taels, and then give the rest after the court. If the master can't trust the slave, the slave can create a written certificate for the master."

Mr. Song hesitated for a moment and agreed to Grandma Wang's conditions.

However, Grandma Wang was not allowed to establish written evidence.

He is just an old naughty slave and cannot escape from his grasp.

After taking care of Grandma Wang, Mr. Song breathed a sigh of relief.

The most critical witness retracted his confession. Even if the Lu family did not withdraw the case, they had no chance of winning.

After Grandma Wang left, Mr. Zhou came and brought a stack of account books.

After Mr. Song carefully read it, his blood vessels were about to burst, so he slammed the account book to the ground.

"Is this how Jiang is in charge? All the expenses for the birthday banquet were accounted for. Even the land rent was collected in advance, and the rent was reduced by [-]%. The tea shop was also emptied of money." In other words, in the second half of the year, The house will not have any income, but will owe a lot of debt.

Mr. Zhou was sweating coldly: "The eldest lady said that the silk and satin shop won't be able to free up the money until the end of the month, so I owe everything first and will make up for it when the money from the silk and satin shop arrives."

The Jiang family is so rich, if something like this hadn't happened, the eldest lady would definitely not have defaulted on her debt.

Mr. Zhou is convinced of this.

"Father, Mrs. Jiang did it on purpose. She had already secretly transferred all the dowry property. The so-called money will be freed up at the end of the month. It is a lie. She has no intention of making up for these shortfalls." Song Jing Came in.

"Father, the child went to the money service, and then went to the government office to check. All Jiang Ji's properties were sold off on September [-]th. The buyer was from the capital, named Zhang Dasheng. I heard that this He has business dealings with the Jiang family."

"Wu Niang confirmed that the money she and her brother got came from the capital's money affairs. Therefore, the Jiang family did give the money. This was the condition for the brother's agreement to reconcile. As for why the money was missing, Now, I have to ask my brother and the Xu family."

Mr. Song felt his heart congested and panicked.

An absurd yet reasonable guess made him furious.

It must have been his unsatisfactory son who teamed up with Xu Jiamei to spend the money.

Song Yu, how dare you?
Xu Changwei, how dare you?
"Prepare the car, I'm going to Xu Mansion, take Song Yu with me."

Mr. Song and his three children stormed to the Xu family in a furious manner.

It happened that Ying Yao also called a group of people to make trouble.

When the two teams met, Ying Yao cried when he saw Mr. Song.

"Brother-in-law, the Xu family's heart is so dark. They swallowed up the money, a total of 16 taels..."

Mrs. Ying Yao has been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, as if she has a lump in her throat. Why can't she get a penny of such a large sum of money? Why is it all taken by the Xu family.

How could Mr. Song not know the virtue of his sister-in-law, she just wanted a piece of the pie.

snort!What does this money have to do with her Ying family?
But I don't have time to talk to her right now.

When Xu Changwei heard that his brother-in-law Song Qian was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Brother-in-law, you're finally back. I've been troubled by them these past few days. Brother-in-law, you know who I am. Zi Yin doesn't have the guts to do such unconscionable things..."

Xu Changwei thought Song Qian was a sensible person and expected Song Qian to clear the Xu family's name.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Song said coldly: "The thing that cannot stand the test most is human nature."

Xu Changwei: Uh...

Listening to what he meant, Song Qian also thought that his Xu family hid the money?

In the Xu Family Flower Hall, almost everyone related to this matter was present.

Mr. Song said: "Yu'er, you took the initiative to hand over the money to Zi Yin for safekeeping?"

Song Yu glanced at Xu Ziyin, who had lost weight in a few days, and replied: "Yes."

"Brother, it was clearly induced by Xu Ziyin. He deliberately said that it was not safe to keep at home. If he was discovered, he would definitely be taken away by his parents..."

Song Yu wants to cut Wu Niang's tongue. Can you shut up, you idiot?

Aren't you playing tricks on yourself?
Let dad know that we gave this money to Xu Ziyin for safekeeping. Can dad bypass us?
Xu Ziyin also wanted to tear Wu Niang's mouth to pieces, and she was so stupid that she couldn't understand and said everything.

"Father, the reason why the child gave the money to Zi Yin for safekeeping was not because he wanted to hide the money, but because one of the conditions for the reconciliation between the child and the Jiang family was that the matter must be concealed until after the birthday banquet. After the birthday banquet, the Jiang family She decided to leave our house, and she said it would be inappropriate to cause trouble before that, which would ruin my mother’s happiness.”

Song Yu forced his excuses.

"The child originally planned to take out this money and give it to his parents after the birthday party."

Xu Ziyin also defended: "Uncle, I never said such things. It was Wu Niang who added fuel to the fire and made up nonsense."

Wu Niang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and her whole body was shaking with anger: "You... you... you guys ganged up to bully me and steal my money."
