I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 164: The love between father and son is severed

Yes, since Ningguo Mansion has already found out, this means that Dong Mansion must have a way of checking accounts that they don’t know about.

In this case, as long as they find out how the East Palace checks its accounts, won’t they be able to find out the problems with the accounts as well?

And that little beast in Dongfu was actually his son.

When she was in the mansion before, she was very respectful to him, but she would obey his orders without hesitation.

Now if we call him here, it would only take a few words and he would surely tell us all the methods of checking the accounts.

Thinking of this, Jia She hurriedly called a servant and told him, "Go to the East Palace and tell that little beast to come over and tell him that I have something to tell him."

The servant quickly responded, "Yes, sir, I'll go right away!"

The boy obeyed the order and left.

Half an hour later, the servant came back alone, with a look of fear on his face when he entered the house.

Seeing him come in alone, Jia She felt unhappy.

I couldn't help but ask, "Why, that little bastard isn't home? Can you tell him to come over as soon as he gets back?"

The servant said timidly: "My lord, the Third Master of the East Palace is at home, but, but..."

Hearing this, Jia She could not help but say angrily: "You rebel, just say whatever you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

The servant said helplessly, "The Third Master is at home, but he said that he has been expelled from the Rongguo Mansion and has no connection with the Rongguo Mansion anymore."

"From now on, he will never set foot in Rongguo Mansion for the rest of his life."

"If the master has anything to report about the Jia family, please go to the East Palace to find him."

"If it's a private matter, don't bother him!"

Hearing these words, Jia She was so angry that he felt like a Buddha ascending to heaven and two Buddhas were born!

"Asshole! How dare this little bastard do this? He is really rebellious!"

Jia She was furious!
But in the end, all I could do was feel helpless and furious.

That evil son is now the head of the Jia family. If Jia She does not treat him as a father and ignores him, he really will be helpless.

Jia She suddenly remembered that when the little beast was leaving home, he knocked a servant onto him and he also rolled on the ground.

I'm afraid that at that time, this little beast didn't even take his father seriously?

How come he hadn't realized earlier that this little beast was actually full of rebelliousness?

If I had known this earlier, I would have killed him earlier!

But now, he has no other means to deal with this little beast!

After discovering this, Jia She became even more angry.

He suddenly saw the servant in the room, and the anger in his heart burst out uncontrollably.

He went up and kicked the boy, knocking him to the ground, then continued to punch and kick him.

Jia She stopped only when he was tired and breathless.

The servant on the ground was beaten by Jia She and was covered with wounds, wailing in pain.

The young servant couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Master Cong Sanye of the East Palace refused to come over, he had expected that he wouldn't be able to escape the beating today.

It is indeed so now!

After being angry, Jia She was thinking in his heart.

That little beast refuses to come. Do you want to go to the East Palace and ask in person?
But as a father, he couldn't bring himself to do that.

Besides, Jia She was still worried that even if he went there himself, that little beast might not tell him.

As a result, Jia She only hesitated for one day.

Nanny Lai ran to Lady Jia again and cried.

Grandmother Jia called Jia She again and asked about the status of the account check. Jia She had no choice but to say half-truthfully that only a few thousand taels of silver were missing and the check was still ongoing.

When Grandmother Jia heard this, her eyes lit up.

In fact, Grandmother Jia was not willing to see what Jia She found out.

After all, when Nanny Lai was young, she was her dowry maid.

Lai Da and Lai Er are also Lady Jia's most trusted men.

The reason why Grandmother Jia gave the housekeeping power to Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng first, and now to Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, is that she can still control the Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, the main reliance is on the two brothers of the Lai family.

And if these two people embezzled a large amount of money from the mansion, it undoubtedly meant that Lady Jia did not know how to employ people.

The slap was actually on Lady Jia's face.

Lai Er had slapped her in the face once before. If Lai Da slapped her in the face again this time, Grandmother Jia would lose all her face.

Therefore, when Lady Jia heard that Lai Da had only embezzled a few thousand taels of silver, she felt relieved.

It seems that Lai Er is indeed a little greedy because he is not under his nose.

Fortunately, Lai Da was still hardworking. He checked the mansion's accounts for ten years and only found a shortage of a few thousand taels of silver.

Of course, if someone said that Lai Da had only embezzled a few thousand taels of silver in the past ten years, even Lady Jia herself would not believe it.

I'm afraid the boss is incompetent and can't find out more.

However, even if Lai Da embezzled 30,000 or 20,000 taels of silver, it was still within Lady Jia's psychological tolerance.

Therefore, thinking of this, Jia's mother couldn't help but say: "It's hard to be a father-in-law if you are not dumb or deaf. It's just a few thousand taels of silver. If we can save a little, we will have so much."

"Sure enough, after checking the accounts, it really cleared his name. He is indeed a good person."

"In that case, we'll stop checking the accounts here. If any servant dares to talk nonsense again, we'll just beat them up and sell them off! This will also save them from gossiping and making up stories about others!"

After hearing what Grandmother Jia said, Jia She still felt unwilling.

He couldn't help but say, "Mother, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this account."

"Give me a few more days, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this."

Grandmother Jia said gloomily, "Okay, I've said this, this matter ends here."

"Don't you want to listen to me now?"

Seeing what Grandmother Jia said, Jia She had no choice but to say, "Son, I dare not. I will follow your instructions."

Jia She had no choice but to give up, and the audit came to an end.

When Nanny Lai saw this scene, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After returning home, Nanny Lai told the Lai family the news.

After hearing this, the Lai family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the Lai family closed the door and started discussing the matter.

They were lucky enough to get away with this audit.

The reason why Jia She didn't find any problems was not because there were no flaws in their accounts, but because Jia She didn't get the East Palace's accounting method.

The account books of previous years are now attracting more and more attention, and he dare not destroy them at will.

As long as these account books exist, they are all evidence of his corruption and may burst out at any time.

Therefore, for now, it would be better for them to get out as soon as possible.

Lai Shangrong, the eldest son and grandson of the Lai family, was chosen to be the county magistrate because of the grace of the Jia family and his sacrifice of his future.

Recently, Lai Shangrong also wrote back, asking them to escape from slavery as soon as possible and go over there as soon as possible.
