After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Chapter 18
Aunt Yuan just smiled and said nothing, thinking that the eldest lady had not changed, she just didn't want to be taken advantage of, but she couldn't say this.

Ning Ruyan was not fast when she left. Naturally, she heard Huo's complaints and couldn't help but curl her lips, then speeded up and left Shoukangyuan.

In Wutong Courtyard, accountant Li had already brought all the account books over. Because Ning Ruyan was not there, he did not dare to leave, so he waited in the foyer.

"Thank you for your hard work, Accountant Li." Ning Ruyan glanced at a large box full of ledgers on the floor, then reached out and picked up the top one and looked through it, "But are you sure this is it?"

Accountant Li's heart skipped a beat, but he still twitched his lips: "Madam, these are indeed the account books of the past six months. I remember them all clearly."

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Then keep it. After I finish reading, someone will notify you to pick it up."

Accountant Li responded before saying goodbye and leaving.

Ning Ruyan couldn't help but shake her head. The management in the General's Mansion was really chaotic. There were so many account books, but there was no directory or even a face-to-face check between both parties before they just wrote a note and left. If you wanted to do something, it would be too easy.

"Miss, do you want to see it now?"

Ning Ruyan nodded: "Bring it to the study room, you two come in with me and read it together."

At noon, Mr. He personally delivered the meal to the main house, and then took Ms. Xiang and her daughter from the sewing room to sit together in the main room to do needlework. Of course, the most important thing was to guard the door.

"Miss, what do we want to check?" Bai Zhi looked at the account book and couldn't help but ask, "Looking at the income and expenditure, it is reasonable."

"Just look for the unreasonable ones, such as...are there any unreasonable expenditures." Ning Ruyan said while looking through it, "For example, it was not spent on the house, but on relatives or side branches. "

In his previous life, Jiang Bonian said that he was rescued by Lian Susu after being injured and fell in love with him. Originally, this statement didn't make much sense, but various circumstances showed that things were not that simple at all.

The imperial newspaper said that something happened to Jiang Bonian two months ago. It was now mid-February, that is, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month last year. He fell into the water after being injured and fell into coma. He was drifting along the current and was rescued by Lian Susu. After that, the two People fall in love at first sight.

It will take several months to recover from an injury. Even if you are in good health and recover quickly, it will still take ten days and a half. It will be the end of the twelfth lunar month. Even if the two of you fall asleep immediately after that, if they sleep once, The child's birth should be around the end of October.

However, in the previous life, when Huo gave Jiang Changqing to her at the end of the year, it was already more than three months old, and the child was quite strong, so it didn't look like a premature baby at all.

Zisu Mulberry's investigation takes time, so she will check from the inside.

"Miss, there is an expenditure here, which occurred in August and September last year." Banxia handed over the account book in his hand, "It is the expenditure of Shoukangyuan to purchase spices, which is 50 taels of silver every month."

"Any questions?" Ning Ruyu took it over and took a look.

"There is no problem with 50 taels of spices. The problem is that this expenditure has been made for two consecutive months, but I don't know if it is available in other months. 50 taels of spices a month, how extravagant it is." ? The palace doesn't use it like this, right?" Banxia curled her lips, "Besides, every time I go to Shoukangyuan, the ones they burn are ordinary benzoin. No matter how much I use, five taels of silver is enough."

"Then let's find out if there is this expenditure in other months." Ning Ruyan's eyes narrowed slightly. If it is as expected, there should be this expenditure every month.

As expected, there are indeed expenses every month. Moreover, in October last year, the amount of silver increased to 100 taels. Later, in November, it decreased to 80 taels, which lasted until the last month. moon.Ning Ruyan took a deep breath, then leaned on the chair and closed her eyes. Sure enough, Jiang Bonian and Lian Susu had been together for a long time. She didn't know what happened in the battle of An's clearance, but she I know that Jiang Bonian escaped from his shell through this battle.

Really smart.

However, if this intelligence was used in official career, why would the General's Mansion fall?

Bai Zhi and Banxia looked at each other. Although they didn't know what happened specifically, they knew that the eldest lady was very sad now, and as girls, all they could do was accompany her.

Ning Ruyan felt sad for a moment, then opened her eyes: "Put away the account books and follow me to the accounting room."

When Bai Zhi Banxia saw it, she hurriedly stood up, put the account book back into the box, and then called the two women outside to come over and carry it to the accounting room.

Accountant Li was writing something. When he saw Ning Ruyan coming, he hurriedly put it away, stood up and greeted her: "Madam, you finished reading so quickly?"

"Yes." Ning Ruyan nodded, "Let me take a look at the account books for the first half of last year."

"This……"

"What? I don't have the right to investigate?"

"No, you have the power." Accountant Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Please come in."

There is a warehouse in the accounting room. Each box in the warehouse contains the account books of previous years. They are basically classified into half-year categories. Some of the old ledger boxes have a layer of soil on them. Fortunately, the first half of last year was very good. try to find.

Bai Zhi and Ban Xia quickly looked through it, and finally discovered that this expenditure started in February last year and did not occur in January.

It’s always been 50 taels of silver.

Ning Ruyan felt chills all over her body. In January last year, people from the General Mansion went to Gusu to propose marriage and exchange invitations. Then in February, they started to leave for the Six Rituals. However, it turned out that at that time, Jiang Bonian had already hooked up with Lian Susu. We are together and even have the approval of our parents-in-law.

So what do the Jiang family think of the Ning family?What do you think of her Ning Ruyan?
"Miss?" Bai Zhi called, "Are you okay?"

Ning Ruyan came to her senses, let go of her clenched fists, and slightly curled her lips: "It's okay, let's go, go back."

When Accountant Li saw that Ning Ruyan was simply flipping through the pages, he was relieved. Even if he was a god, he couldn't find any loopholes just by flipping through the pages. So, those things he was greedy for Money should be no problem.

Misty Rain Pavilion.

"I'm talking about Lao Jiang, are you a human being?" A charming-looking man looked at the wound on Jiang Yan's abdomen and couldn't help but look a little discolored. Get up?"
