Chapter 125 Checking Accounts
  "What misunderstanding can there be?" The old lady faced Yu Qinglian's innocent face and said in disgust: "Explain, why is that century-old ginseng a fake?"
  Yu Qinglian finally knew why the old lady asked her to come!
  She panicked for a moment, but for just a moment, she quickly returned to normal. She looked puzzled and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? The century-old ginseng is a tonic given to Xinyu by His Highness the Crown Prince."
  "Xinyu couldn't bear to eat it. I thought that the second lady had just recovered and was weak, so she might need it, so I gave it to the second lady. How could it be a fake?"
  "Zhuo Xi couldn't bear to eat it, so he brought the old ginseng into the palace and gave it to the Queen Mother." The old lady's hand fell on the table again: "The Queen Mother has never seen anything good, so she can tell the clues at a glance."
  "If this were not the case, Zhuo Xi would have eaten the fake, and who knows if something good would have happened?"
  "What an injustice!" Yu Qinglian said with an aggrieved look on her face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the thing to Xinyu. If it is fake, it can only be because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been deceived."
  "His Royal Highness will give Xinyu a fake plant?" The old lady snorted with disdain from her nostrils: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, let alone ginseng, even if it is something precious."
  "I don't know about this." Yu Qinglian refused to admit it. She glanced at Shen Zhuoxi and said, "Could it be that the second lady took the wrong one before entering the palace?"
  Shen Zhuoxi looked like she was about to cry, and her expression was even more innocent than Yu Qinglian: "What are you talking about, Madam Second? This is the only thing I can get in my house."
  "How could you get it wrong? Even if you get it wrong, you have to have the same thing to get it wrong."
  "That's right!" The old lady pointed at Yu Qinglian's nose and said angrily: "Even now, you still haven't admitted it and are telling lies. Are you going to be locked up in the ancestral hall to keep Shen Jingya company?"
  Yu Qinglian panicked and was about to speak when Shen Zhuoxi suddenly stepped in and said, "Grandma, speaking of which, the old ginseng was given to Sister Xinyu by His Highness the Crown Prince."
  "Could it be that Sister Xinyu took it by mistake and didn't know what was good and what was good?"
  Yu Qinglian had always protected Shen Xinyu and was not willing to let Shen Xinyu get into trouble. She quickly said: "I remembered that when Xinyu brought the ginseng to me, I did have a ginseng plant on hand."
  "It was sent by someone from Zhuangzi. I'm afraid I picked it up by mistake at that time. It's because of my blindness that I misjudged the heart jade thing."
  The old lady already had a clue in her heart, and said coldly: "At my age, I didn't even say that I am dim-sighted, but you are getting dizzy first. It seems that you really can't do this as a mistress."
  "Lest you get dizzy again and make a bigger mistake. Also, how are you preparing Princess Xiaoqing's dowry and account book? I'll spare you for ten days, even if you have to rewrite it, it's enough!"
  Yu Qinglian did not dare to quibble, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It has been prepared for a long time, but I was busy with the Mid-year banquet, so I was delayed, so I asked Aunt Hua to get it."
  It had not been a day or two since this matter had been mentioned, and she was extremely panicked at first. Although she talked about it a few times later, Shen Zhuoxi didn't take it seriously, and the old lady didn't seriously express her position. She thought it was over!
  Aunt Hua was kneeling behind her. She didn't dare to move after hearing this and looked at the old lady tentatively.
  "Go quickly!" The old lady said impatiently because she really disliked the master and servant.
  Grandma Hua did not dare to delay, so she quickly brought the account book and handed it to the old lady.
  The old lady turned over two pages and her face turned cold: "I remember more than this about Princess Xiaoqing's dowry."
  She had warned Yu Qinglian a long time ago that no matter what, she must first complete the dowry and wait until she has passed the Queen Mother's test.
  For this reason, she deliberately did not rush, and allowed Yu Qinglian to deal with it for more than ten days. It was good now, there were not many gold, silver, and jades left, no land deeds for the land and house, and only 600,000 taels of silver!
  It’s not even a bit bad!
  Yu Qinglian knelt down and didn't care about that much. She opened her mouth and started crying: "Mother, you have been in charge of the family for many years. You know that there are many entertainments in Shengdu. You are a grand master and a minister, and you cannot lose your status."
  "You bastard, are you using Princess Xiaoqing's dowry as a favor?" The old lady could only openly call Yu Qinglian a fool: "Is our Taishi Mansion going to be poor and begging for food?"
  Yu Qinglian secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but still said: "I am incompetent, please punish my mother."
  Shen Zhuoxi walked over, picked up the account book, glanced at it briefly, and said, "By coincidence, I came into the palace to pay my respects, and the Queen Mother gave me my mother's dowry brochure."
  "After checking, you will know what is wrong. If it is really a favor expense from the family, there is nothing to pursue. After all, when my mother married, we are all members of the same family."
  "You are still sensible." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's also the case that our Grand Master's Mansion has a lot of mouths and we have to open our mouths to eat. There is nothing we can do."
  Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Grandma, I'll take the account book first, don't you mind."
  "It's okay, just take it and wait until you check it out." The old lady smiled happily and said, "Go back and rest early. You can check the accounts anytime."
  After sending Shen Zhuoxi away, Yu Qinglian was still kneeling on the ground.
  Even though the old lady's room was carpeted, she felt pain in her knees.
  As soon as he moved, he heard the old lady's words: "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the accounts?"
  "Really not." Yu Qinglian raised her head and replied sincerely: "You also know..."
  Before he finished speaking, the old lady interrupted: "Don't think that everyone is a fool. The dowry left by Princess Xiaoqing is several million taels of silver."
  "In just ten years, the Grand Master's Mansion will not be able to use so much money even if it has a thousand mouths!"
  "Mother." Yu Qinglian still said the same thing: "All the account books are there. The direction of the money after the jewelry was pawned in the shop. The Grand Master needs to take care of it over the years. The gifts given to the Prince and several princes should not be shabby."
  "Besides, the food and clothing expenses of the masters in the house cannot be worse than others. If you don't believe it, you will know after the second lady checks it out. I will never dare to interfere with it."
  "Humph, wait until I finish reading. You know whether you dare or not." The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go back, don't be an eyesore to me!"
  Yu Qinglian stood up after being ordered. She knelt for too long and stumbled almost falling as soon as she stood up.
  Nanny Hua helped her out of Jing'an Court before she dared to speak: "Madam, do you think the old lady will notice anything?"
  "She felt that using Princess Xiaoqing's dowry would make her lose her status as the royal wife. That's why she left the matter to me." Yu Qinglian said with resentment in her eyes: "We made the account book."
  "As long as the people who handle it are tight-lipped, who knows whether it's true or false?"
  Aunt Hua whispered: "Don't worry, the people who handle it have more or less clues in our hands. Whoever dares to overturn a grasshopper in a boat will not be able to catch it if the boat sinks."
  A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Yu Qinglian's lips: "If you dare to tease me like this, you will definitely let Shen Zhuoxi accompany that bastard Xiaoqing!"
  She didn't know that Shen Zhuoxi had already taken control of everything, including Yu Qingbo's affairs.
