The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 47 Do you want to live?

Lu Wan rarely fell into a deep sleep, and had a beautiful sleep. When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

After breakfast, Zhiruo reported Goudan'er's incident.

"He is thirteen years old this year. His father used to be a horse dealer. He passed away a few years ago. The family has no livelihood. His mother has been bedridden for a long time. His brother is fifteen years old. He was working as a groom for a wealthy family. He was given a discount by the owner last month. Legs, and the family was in debt again. The creditor wanted to drag away his eight-year-old sister and sell it to traffickers. In order to protect his sister, he sold himself on a death deed. He had just been sold for a month. He knew how to raise horses. The government planned After teaching you the rules, go to the stables.”

"Tell grandma and ask for him to come over."

"Yes."

After noon, someone came to the palace and said that Qin Tianjian had calculated the date and reported to the emperor for permission. The wedding day was set on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

Exactly three months.

In addition, he told her that the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to go to Xie's Mansion tomorrow to organize the funeral for Prince Xie, and to carry out the order.

Lu Wan was originally a filial piety person, but when she got married, she became a filial piety. She wanted to continue to be filial to her husband, but she didn't care.

After seeing off the messenger in the palace, Mrs. Lu pulled Lu Wan, "The Xie family sent someone to tell them that Yu Churong's entry into the house must be scheduled after your entry. Grandma thought, after you come in, there will be the hostess's wife. She raised her head I don’t want to bow my head to see you, so as not to make it difficult for you, let Yu Churong recover from his injuries in the mansion for the time being, so as not to hurt the Xie mansion’s face. What do you think?”

"Just follow grandma's arrangements." Lu Wan said with a well-behaved look on her face.

"You are such a good boy. Tomorrow we will go to Xie's Mansion to attend Prince Xie's funeral."

"Yes, grandmother."

Lu Wan was not idle either. She spent the whole morning checking the accounts of her mother's dowry shop and Zhuangzi.

The account book is very simple to remember. Since it is not the Marquis's money, they just use it and don't care about anything else.

Lu Wan was furious as she looked at it, but luckily she got the rest of the dowry back in time.

Early in the morning, I went to see Manager Qian and asked for half of the usury money. He said that the remaining half was not due and would not be returned until two months later.

Lu Wan picked up a pen and wrote a receipt, "The banknote is for Grandma Wu, and the receipt is for Grandma Wu to stamp with her grandmother's seal. Tell Grandma Wu to take back the other 30,000 taels and return it to Grandma, provided that the receipt is stamp."

"Yes, don't worry, big girl."

At dawn, I went to Yishou Hall with a 30,000-yuan banknote and receipt.

Dongqing took Shuyu and got busy before dawn. The two of them checked the expenses in various parts of the house with their account books in hand. The checks were as fine as a strand of silk thread or a needle. Aunt Zhao, who was in charge of general affairs, was forced to jump around and was very angry. sweating a lot.

When she was finally dragged in front of Lu Wan by the two women, Nanny Zhao's face was dirty and her clothes were torn apart, as if she had been in a fight.

"Big girl, all the money that Aunt Zhao was greedy for has been found out." Dongqing's little face was sullen, and she was angry.

"Why are you greedy? I'm a relative of the old lady! All that money was spent by the old lady. You can't spit on others with your blood!" Nanny Zhao shouted.

Dongqing stepped up and slapped her, "Who are you? I dare you."

Aunt Zhao covered her face and stared at Dongqing angrily.

She is in charge of the food and clothing of the whole house, and she is the old lady’s family member. Which girl in the house usually does not support her?
This bitch violated her in public today, and now she dares to hit her?
Lu Wan flipped through Dongqing's list and listed the details of Aunt Zhao's embezzlement of black money and silver.

"Well, Aunt Zhao is a relative of my grandmother. It's really inconvenient for me to deal with her."

Lu Wan threw down the account book and said, "Zhiruo, take the account book and report it to grandma in person to see if the person will be escorted or if grandma will send someone to interrogate. After all, it was my mother's money that was embezzled, not the public account of the Hou Mansion. , I also want to watch the trial, lest anyone cover up."

"Yes." Zhiruo responded.

Aunt Zhao has a fearless look on her face. Many of the old lady's shady expenses have come from her. She is also a relative of the old lady and is more confidant than Aunt Wu. The old lady will definitely protect her. Otherwise, if there is any trouble, the old lady will not look good on her face.

Soon, Aunt Wu came back with Zhiruo.

Nanny Wu saluted Lu Wan respectfully, "Miss, the old lady said that since it is the eldest daughter's money, it will naturally be handled by the eldest daughter."

She glanced sideways at Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao is not a relative of the old lady, but she is just a little side branch that has turned seventy or eighty turns. If the old lady had not been kind enough to take her in, she would have been sold to an unknown corner. After entering the Lu Mansion, you are already a slave, so the eldest girl can be treated as an ordinary slave. This is Aunt Zhao's deed of sale, and the old lady asked her to be a slave to the eldest girl."

After saying that, Nanny Wu held the slave deed in her hands and handed it to Lu Wan.

Aunt Zhao's eyes widened, "Impossible, you old pious woman! You are usually jealous of me being in power, and you have secretly caused many obstacles for me, but now you are deliberately trying to step on me, right?"

"Shuyu, Zhang Zui! Tell her again what she did wrong." Lu Wan's face sank.

Mingxia pressed Nanny Zhao's shoulders, Shuyu went up and took off with both hands, shooting her bow left and right.

While fanning, he said loudly, "Who is Aunt Wu, and what is your identity? How dare you step on Aunt Wu to put gold in your face! Aunt Wu is too good-natured, and she will not respond to such unreasonable behavior." People can tolerate it.”

A pair of small hands slapped her so loudly that she was unable to speak.

In the end, Shuyu gritted his teeth in pain, threw his hands and muttered, "I have to practice my slaps."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, Shuyu finally got revenge for that kick.

Aunt Wu took one look at the smiling girl, and felt even more admiration for her.

The little girl does things neatly and without mercy.

No wonder the old lady gave in to her, knowing that Aunt Zhao couldn't save her, so she might as well give up and let the eldest girl be happy.

No matter how greedy Nanny Zhao is, if she is too greedy, any master will be unhappy if she is teased.

"Miss, the old lady has some errands to do, so I'll take my leave first." Aunt Wu wanted to leave the place where things were right and wrong.

Lu Wan smiled and said, "When did Grandma Wu ask your daughter to come and play with me? I have counted out a lot of jewelry and dresses from my childhood, and I am worried that no one will give them to me."

The eldest daughter's jewelry and dresses when she was a child were all top-notch items, all of which were carefully purchased by the eldest lady.

This is a huge bargain.

Aunt Wu was so busy that she said, "This servant has thanked the eldest daughter for the younger one. After the eldest daughter has finished her dinner, she will be asked to serve her and wash her feet."

Lu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, waving her hand to ask her to leave.

She likes people who are powerful and sensible.

As soon as Nanny Wu left, Lu Wan nuzzled at Shuyu.

Shuyu immediately closed the courtyard door.

Aunt Zhao's brain was buzzing for a long time before it calmed down. Her face and cheeks were burning with pain, and she looked at the little girl sitting on the chair with a leisurely look in horror.

Her harmless little face with a cute smile gave her a hint of malice.

"Mother Zhao, do you want to live?" Lu Wan asked slowly.

　Can I ask for a ticket?
