Chapter 159 Excusable circumstances
  Yu Qinglian had long since been relieved of her duties as housekeeper by the old lady. When she saw the bill, she couldn't help but sneer: "Shen Zhuoxi is seeking death. Why did you give it to me? Let's go and give it to the old lady!"
  The old lady was planning to take a rest after taking a walk after lunch.
  After Yu Qinglian entered the door and saluted, could it be that she acted on purpose: "Mother, I know you have to take a nap at this time, so I shouldn't have disturbed you, but there is something I really can't make up my mind about."
  The old lady was not in a good mood and frowned: "Say, what's wrong?"
  "Look at this." Yu Qinglian put the bill directly on the table and said, "The bills were all sent by merchants on the long street. They said that the second lady asked them to put them in the name of the Taishi Mansion."
  "I don't care about the accounts now, and I can't get any money out. The merchants are still waiting outside. You see..."
  The old lady glanced through it briefly, and a surge of anger rushed to the top of her head.
  She knew that Shen Zhuoxi was taking the Jiang family out. It only took two hours, but she didn't expect to spend nearly 20,000 taels of silver!
  Even she herself has never been so lavish!
  "The merchants are still waiting. What can I do? Take the money and settle the bill first." The old lady ordered, covering her heart.
  "But..." Yu Qinglian reminded her: "Not many days ago, all the silver was given to the second lady. Our house cannot get 20,000 taels of cash in cash."
  I forgot about it!
  Shen Zhuoxi asked for Princess Xiaoqing's dowry, and all the money from the Imperial Palace was given to her.
  The dignified Grand Master's Mansion couldn't come up with twenty thousand taels of silver!
  If word spreads, it will become the laughing stock of Dongchen State!
  Shen Zhuoxi had money in his hands, but he still recorded it to the Taishi Mansion. This was an unjust account.
  The old lady's face suddenly darkened and she said to Coal: "The housekeeper will send the merchant away first. When Shen Zhuoxi comes, ask her to come to me immediately!"
  Yu Qinglian smiled and persuaded: "Mother, Zhuo Xi may have done it unintentionally. She has suffered for many years, and it doesn't matter if she only has some money on hand."
  "Hmph." The old lady became more and more angry: "It's a good thing to hold on to the money, but it's not the way to go. Just leave this matter alone and go down."
  Shen Zhuoxi took the Jiang family's grandparents and grandchildren for lunch, and before entering the mansion, they were called to Jingan Garden.
  The old lady was so angry that she didn't even sleep. When she saw her, she naturally didn't look good: "Did you feel comfortable shopping with the Jiang family?"
  Shen Zhuoxi admitted her mistake obediently: "Please punish me, grandma."
  The old lady didn't let her get up, and snorted coldly: "You are indeed capable of using the money of the Taishi Mansion to do favors."
  "Grandma, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about the reputation of the Grand Master's Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi squatted and said slowly: "They are public, for fear that others will not know that they came from the Grand Master's Mansion."
  "I followed the trend and recorded it in the name of Taishifu. Others also thought that Taishifu was generous."
  "Everything is covered by the reputation of Taishi Mansion." The old lady said coldly: "Twenty thousand taels of silver, not two hundred taels. The reward in your hand plus your mother's dowry is more than this!"
  "Your father and I are opposed to Jiang Chao's family coming to live in the house. It's for your sake that we didn't evict them. You can sort out this mess later. Anyway, Taishi's house won't pay a single coin. "
  "Grandma, this is not my intention alone." Shen Zhuoxi raised his head and said aggrievedly: "It's the eldest lady who is generous. She told Mrs. Huang that if you need anything, just tell the Taishi Mansion."
  "Huang and the others have long since taken it seriously. If they didn't use the name of the Grand Master's Palace, with their temperament, they might still say something or do something."
  "What?" The old lady frowned and said suspiciously, "Yu Qinglian really said that?"
  "Ms. Huang told me personally. She also told Mrs. Huang how much money I had on hand, shop." Shen Zhuoxi sighed: "Old Mrs. Jiang wants my things in other ways now."
  "She only knows one thing but not the other. The drug store and the restaurant are both owned by His Royal Highness King Yu. It doesn't matter if I say it alone."
  When the old lady heard this, she finally understood.
  Shen Zhuoxi's things were not even found in the Grand Master's Mansion, so why should the family be worried about them?
  No wonder she paid the bill in the name of Taishi Mansion. It seems that the problem lies with Yu Qinglian.
  However, the matter was extenuating, and Qianzi still had to resolve it.
  "Get up and talk." The old lady paused and her voice was a little lower: "The Grand Master's Mansion has a large expenditure and cannot withstand being ruined by outsiders. You still have to pay for the money spent by the Jiang family."
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi stood up and said with an embarrassment: "It's just that I don't have much money on hand. Renxintang was renovated and opened, and the restaurant was renovated and opened. All the available money was spent. .”
  "You spent all that money?" The old lady was shocked: "If you don't pay, do you really want the Grand Master's Mansion to pay for it?"
  "Medical hospitals and restaurants both require money. As you said, labor, cost, and procurement are all indispensable. The money left by my mother was not enough, so I pawned some jewelry to get it together." Shen Zhuoxi suggested. .
  "How about asking the eldest lady to put some money first?"
  "Yu Qinglian?" the old lady asked in surprise: "Where did she get the money to give you? Isn't this just a joke?"
  "I only found out a few days ago." Shen Zhuoxi sighed: "The eldest lady falsified the account books and deducted the mother's dowry. Since the money did not go into the account of the Taishi Mansion, it must have gone into the eldest lady's account." fanny pack.”
  The old lady was stunned: "Fake? How do you know?"
  "When His Highness King Yu returned from the victorious battle, the Grand Master's Mansion presented him with a sword made of pure gold." Shen Zhuoxi said slowly, "I happened to see that sword at Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago."
  "One of the swords fell to the ground without holding it firmly, and the hilt of the sword was broken directly. At the break, you can see that the structure inside the sword is pure black iron, which is plated with a layer of gold."
  The old lady jumped up from her chair and exclaimed: "What?!"
  The old lady knew about this golden sword. It cost nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver. Now Shen Zhuoxi actually said that the sword was gold-plated?
  The difference between gold plating and pure gold is more than 10,000 to 20,000!
  Moreover, King Yu knew that they dared to use such despicable methods, how could he visit the Grand Master's Mansion?
  And the prince...
  The old lady didn't even dare to think about it. She held her forehead and ordered Aunt Yuan: "Go and call Yu Qinglian over!"
  "Wait a minute." Shen Zhuoxi stopped Aunt Yuan and said to the old lady: "You are talking empty words. The eldest lady will definitely deny it. Why don't you wait until I take out the sword from Prince Yu's mansion?"
  "Okay." The old lady agreed to her words and turned to Aunt Yuan: "I will give all the accounts just now to Yu Qinglian and let her find a solution."
  Coming from Jing'an Garden, Huizhi wondered: "Didn't Miss say that the money was not brought back through the hands of the Grand Master's Mansion, so why should it be brought to the old lady?"
  "I don't plan to go through the Grand Master's Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi spread his hands and said: "For the silver, we must get it from Yu Qingbo. You can find a warlock..."
  The following words gradually became quieter. After hearing this, Hui Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Young lady is so awesome!"
  "Go ahead and do it. I also want to go to Prince Yu's Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes and said.
