Chapter 3 3 Go get all the ledgers
"Furthermore, the Marquis's house has such a big courtyard, and there are only a few people in the house. Even if the Marquis cleans up the courtyard alone, it doesn't take much time. But how much money does it cost to buy a courtyard? Our life in the Hou's house is just a little better, and it doesn't take much time. I can’t stand this kind of trouble.”

This girl Hongye understands, but there is no way they don’t understand.

They are already selfish and only think about themselves, so how can they care about this.

Jiang Ruanxi picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and said quietly, "Don't worry, even if I agree, they won't succeed. Let's just watch the show."

Hongye was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little complicated.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Jiang Ruan Xi had changed today.

In the past, whenever Jiang Ruan Xi said something bad about the Lin family, she would straighten her face and tell herself not to say it. This time, after she said it, she was no longer angry.

But no matter what, as long as Jiang Ruan Xi can listen, it is a good thing.

"Hongye, go get all the ledgers."

Jiang Ruanxi's words brought Hongye back to her senses. She was a little confused about what Jiang Ruanxi wanted to do with the account book, but she didn't ask any more questions and turned directly to the accounting room to get the account book.

After a while, Hongye struggled to hold it, and a twenty-centimeter-high ledger came in.

Jiang Ruanxi looked at the details carefully, and his brows furrowed more and more.

Her heart bleeds as she looks at each expense.

Sometimes the monthly expenses are tens of thousands of taels, and there is no extra money in the account.

In order to balance the expenses, a lot of it was put in with her dowry.

In her last life, she was stupid and thought that as long as she paid, Lin Ningkun would always see it, but now that she was reborn, she no longer wanted to feed these white-eyed wolves.

"These, and these, you tell the warehouse and they will be exempted from them in the future."

Hongye stepped forward to take a look and said in surprise, "Madam, are you sure? These are monthly supplies for the Lin family, and these are necessary expenses for the young lady and the Marquis. If it disappears so suddenly, they will come It’s noisy.”

"I just let him make trouble, but I'm afraid they won't come?" Jiang Ruanxi said quietly.

In the middle of summer, early in the morning, cicadas were chirping in the trees.

"Niece-in-law, you are confused."

While Jiang Ruanxi and Zhou were having breakfast, an old voice came from outside the door.

Then, a man who was over fifty years old and looked very dignified came in and sat next to Zhou.

"I heard that my niece-in-law is going to adopt a child and raise it in her own name?"

This is Lin Runkun, the patriarch of the Lin family.

Jiang Ruanxi put down his chopsticks and nodded.

Mrs. Zhou chimed in, "His second uncle, Ruan Xi has been married to our Lin family for more than five years and has not yet given birth to a son or a daughter for the Lin family. So I asked her to adopt a child so that she can rely on her in the future."

Lin Runkun glanced at Jiang Ruan Xi and said, "Why are you so stupid? Do you know what this means? You are still young. If you give birth to an heir in the future, your child will be suppressed."

Lin Runkun acted like an elder and persuaded Jiang Ruan Xi.

Jiang Ruanxi lowered his head and said, "Thank you, patriarch, for reminding me. But as my mother said, I haven't given birth to a child for so many years. If I don't succeed, the Lin family will be destroyed in my hands. After this generation, the Lin family will be destroyed." It’s incense.”

"Bullshit, Lin Ningkun went out of town after visiting the church. You don't have a bridal chamber, where are you going to get pregnant." After saying that, seeing Zhou's face darken, he realized something, paused, and softened his tone a little, "Do you want to continue? Children are fine, but we can't adopt children with other surnames. If you want to adopt someone, you can only choose among the descendants of the Lin family."

Jiang Ruanxi sneered in her heart. She thought Lin Runkun would be so kind today, but it turned out that he was just considering his own interests.

Lin Runkun didn't know that Lin Xiao was Lin Ningkun's biological son, and just thought he was a bastard with a foreign surname.

Jiang Ruanxi looked embarrassed.

"What the patriarch said makes sense, but it is still up to the Marquis to decide which child to adopt, and I have no way of making up my mind."

Zhou was very anxious and glared at Jiang Ruan Xi, but did not speak for them.

She knew that the child who was about to be adopted was her biological grandson, so she would agree to this matter. If it were to be adopted by another child, then the Lin family would not be handed over to others.

She would never allow this.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhou spoke.

"Chief, that child is the child of Mr. Hou's best friend, and they had a life-long friendship with him. Now he has passed away. Mr. Hou saw that the child was pitiful and was destined to be a good friend, so he decided to adopt him. We should fulfill his sincere wish. Heart!"

"You are really messing around. Do you plan to hand over our Lin family to someone with a foreign surname in the future? I am not dead yet. As long as I live for one day, I will not allow the Lin family to be handed over to someone with a foreign surname. Our Lin family still has It's not like there are other sons who are dead." Lin Runkun was furious.

Zhou's face turned bad after being reprimanded like this.

But the person in front of her was the clan leader, and she didn't dare to do anything to him.

And now that the time is not yet available, he dare not reveal Lin Xiao’s identity.

Jiang Ruanxi drank tea leisurely and watched the show.

"Sister-in-law, why did you deduct my monthly silver and cancel the bird's nest I drink every day?"

Suddenly, an angry voice came.

Then a woman came in, wearing gorgeous clothes, with all kinds of gold and precious hairpins on her head.

This person is Lin Ningkun's sister, Lin Tingting.

"Why are you such a bad woman? You canceled all these and want me to be laughed at by people outside, right? Recover me immediately, otherwise, I won't let you go."

Lin Tingting came in angrily and didn't notice anyone else in the hall. She angrily raised her middle finger and pointed at Jiang Ruanxi to order.

Lin Runkun frowned slightly and looked at Lin Tingting who came in, his face darkened a bit.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly held her hand and reminded her with a smile, "You kid, why are you still acting like a child? Your second uncle is still here?"

Lin Tingting was angry, and she was used to being arrogant and domineering in the Lin family, so she didn't care about other people at all. In addition, she looked down on Jiang Ruan Xi, so even if Zhou reminded her, she didn't care.

"That's a good thing. As the patriarch of the clan, second uncle, you can give me some advice. She has only been in charge of the family for a few years, and she has begun to deduct my expenses. Not only has my monthly silver been reduced, but I am not even allowed to wear clothes that change from season to season. I choose the satin I like, don’t you think this is aimed at me?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou also frowned, "Ruan Xi, what's going on?"

"What the third sister said is true." Jiang Ruanxi replied nonchalantly.

"Mother, you see she has admitted it. You have to find justice for your daughter and deal with her properly."
