Chapter 57 Fake Account Book
Shen Zhuoxi had already discovered the pillar, so there was no need to stay up all night and wait for Shen Zhuoxi to go upstairs before returning to the room.
Just as he left, Hui Zhi came back.
"Miss, have you been out?" When Huizhi went upstairs, he saw that the door was not closed tightly and asked.
"Yes, Zhu Zhu was snooping downstairs, and I caught him." Shen Zhuoxi briefly explained the matter: "I had expected that Shen Jingya would not repent, so I happened to solve it this time."
"Tsk, I tried my best to prevent these two from eating everything, especially peaches!" Hui Zhi spat and said, "She only remembers that Tao Hua's accident is related to you."
"But never thought that if Tao Hua didn't have good intentions, she would have suffered nothing?"
Shen Zhuoxi didn't get angry because of these things, but comforted him: "There are no peach pillars, tables, chairs, pears or anything like that to cause trouble. I can't even scold him enough."
"Tao Zishang is looking for death. Let's help her. And Shen Jingya, we can't leave her alone."
Hui Zhi didn't know what her plan was, so she first told her everything she saw in Bihe Garden, and by the way, she also handed over the account book that she had taken out from the secret compartment of the closet.
"Look, this is the real account book in the hands of the eldest lady. All the accounts shown to the old lady have been tampered with." Hui Zhi added: "If you listen to that, they have already started operating behind the scenes."
Shen Zhuoxi opened the account book and flipped through it casually, and sneered: "Yu Qinglian has a really big appetite, and he is not afraid of dying. Just the gift he gave to the Prince's Mansion three years ago, there was a difference of thirty thousand taels openly and covertly."
"The items from Duanqin's palace are obviously worth ten thousand taels of jade Ruyi, but in fact they are only worth five thousand taels. There are also the cast gold swords sent by the Grand Master's Palace after King Yu returned from the victorious battle."
"It's obviously made of pure gold, but it's just gold-plated iron. Just for this sword, the eldest lady stole at least one hundred thousand taels of gold! There are many more like this."
Hui Zhi was stunned when she heard this and said, "Madam is very brave and is not afraid of being discovered."
"Who can find out? The person receiving the gift doesn't care about how much the gift is worth. She is in charge of the accounts in the house, and the fake accounts have been prepared long ago." Shen Zhuoxi closed the account book and said, "Shen Heshan never cares about this."
"Alas." Huizhi sighed and said, "Tell me what to do with this account book. They will find it sooner or later, and we can't just take it to the old lady rashly."
Shen Zhuoxi looked at the thick account book, stood up, took out his pen and ink and said: "I hand-copied two books overnight and put them over. I really need to keep them as evidence."
"This is the only way." Hui Zhi said with an unsatisfied face: "Today, the eldest lady is still crying in front of the old lady, saying that it is difficult to run a family. What is so difficult for her to do this?"
"With how greedy she is, in addition to Princess Xiaoqing's dowry, she may even have taken advantage of the second wife's natal family's money."
Shen Zhuoxi suddenly thought of something: "The amount of money Yu Qinglian received is too large and cannot be kept in her own name. Otherwise, if the bank boss is not strict, the news will leak out sooner or later."
"What do you mean..." Hui Zhi also thought of something and said, "There must be someone helping her?"
"This kind of thing must be done by close relatives and trusted people." Shen Zhuoxi pondered for a moment and said: "The people in the Taishi Mansion have to avoid suspicion. Obviously it cannot be Shen Xinyu and Shen Zehuan. What is the situation with Yu Qinglian's natal family?"
"The ancestors of the Earl's Mansion had the merit of following the dragon, and his descendants inherited the Earlship hereditary, but later there was no powerful figure. When it came to the eldest lady's father's generation, the situation was even worse." Eizhi recalled the situation of the Earl's Mansion, introduced.
"The eldest lady's father is an only son. He has been spoiled as a playboy since he was a child. He eats and drinks based on the good news left by his ancestors. In addition to the eldest lady, there are three other wives, and the concubine has seven or eight bedrooms."
"Except for the eldest lady and several other ladies, who are from innocent families, the rest of the concubines are all from the land of fireworks, or are from actresses, including the biological mother of the eldest lady of the Taishi Mansion."
"Yu Qinglian's mother is not even a side wife?" Shen Zhuoxi was a little surprised.
Huizhi nodded and continued: "No, her mother is the second concubine of the Earl's Mansion. She was previously a leading lady in the theater troupe. She was spotted by the Earl who went to the theater and moved her to the house."
"There are many women in the Earl's Mansion, and there are also many children. There are four young masters alone, two are legitimate children, two are concubines, and there are more than a dozen young ladies."
"The eldest lady is the fifth young lady of the Earl's Mansion. She has four older sisters and ten younger sisters. The young ladies from the Earl's Mansion are worthless, so they all went out to marry into aristocratic families when they were young."
Shen Zhuoxi frowned and said, "Is the child born by my concubine worthy of marrying into a noble family?"
"Of course she cannot be the official wife. She is just a concubine just like their little mothers." Huizhi said this with some regret: "The eldest lady was very smart and talented at the time, and she was quite famous in Shengdu."
"She and the Count are not in a hurry to marry her off. Instead, they are looking around to find a good wife to marry based on her talents. With the smoky atmosphere of the Earl's Mansion, who would dare?"
"Finally, in the Pingzhou family, there was a young man in his thirties who lost his wife and was willing to marry her as a second wife. However, the eldest lady was unwilling to marry far away and asked Princess Xiaoqing to take her in."
"Princess Xiaoqing has a kind heart and the eldest lady has a good reputation, so she decided to make her the second lady in the house..."
Needless to say, Shen Zhuoxi knew what happened next.
"Did Yu Qinglian put the money in the hands of her little wife?" After hearing this, Shen Zhuoxi said suspiciously: "There are so many ladies in the house, and her little wife is just a concubine. There are many people and many eyes, so she shouldn't be that stupid."
"The eldest lady also has a biological brother from her mother's side. He has the same mother and father. He is the fourth son of the eldest lady, and his name is Yu Qingbo." Hui Zhi added: "Besides, after the eldest lady married into the Shen family, her little mother also followed. His status in the Earl's Palace has risen."
"Not long after Princess Xiaoqing left, the eldest lady of the Earl's Palace also died of illness. Her daughter-in-law was promoted to be the equal wife, and the fourth young master Yu was also promoted."
"Now the Fourth Young Master is working as a minor official under the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is an honest and responsible person. Like the First Lady, he is known as a good person outside."
The only thing Yu Qinglian can rely on besides her children is her natal family.
If the money is not in her mother's hands, it must be in the hands of this fourth young master.
Shen Zhuoxi thought for a while and said: "Check Yu Qingbo quietly, the money must be in his hands."
"Yes." Huizhi accepted the order and said, "Would you like to check the eldest lady's wife?"
"Her mother is an actress, and she passed several ladies and was promoted to be an equal wife. The other four ladies have no objection?" Shen Zhuoxi smiled: "After so many years, if you don't have an opinion, you must have an opinion. Do you understand?"
"My slave knows." Huizhi rolled his eyes and said, "It just so happens that the third lady of the Earl's Mansion is related to the wet nurse of Prince Yu's Mansion. I will rush to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow to inquire about the news."
While the master and servant were talking, Shen Zhuoxi was copying the accounts. At dawn, his hands were sore that he finally finished copying the two books.
After not sleeping all night, Shen Zhuoxi told Hui Zhi to rest first, and he went to sleep on the sofa himself.
I slept until the afternoon. Hui Zhi and Grandma Ju were not there, but Dragonfly was waiting nearby.
"Miss, are you awake?" Dragonfly was fanning her next to her. When she opened her eyes, he quickly brought tea and said, "Rinse your mouth first. Grandma Ju told the slave to heat the food, and I will prepare it."
