Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 261 Designing to seize power, secretly investigating secrets (1)
"I'm sorry to trouble my sister to make this trip." Tian Liufeng raised her hand with a smile on her face to excuse her.

Tian Liusu walked out of Tian Jing's study with a smile, looking at a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, today's fine weather made her feel relieved for a while, the fire has already been lit, she will wait and see how the fire will burn.

After Tian Liusu left, Tian Liufeng took out the jade pendant and stroked it repeatedly, unable to put it down, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

Looking at him, Tian Jing hesitated to speak for a long time, then sighed and said: "Liu Feng, you are not young anymore, at the birthday banquet, why not choose a beautiful woman from the nobles of the capital to get married as soon as possible, so that I can marry you?" There are successors in the house."

Tian Liufeng was playing with the jade pendant in his hand, when he heard the words, he raised his head and gave Tian Jing a cool look: "Don't worry about my affairs, I have my own arrangements, and let mother and younger sister settle down, don't do those things all day long The fight in the inner court has nothing to do with ruining the reputation of the Xiangfu."

"Liu Feng, they are your blood relatives after all, you can't be too indifferent to them." Tian Jing couldn't help but speak a little dissatisfied when he heard his tone of voice.

"Hmph." Tian Liufeng didn't answer, just held the corner of his mouth and let out a soft hum.

Not long after, Tian Yong came in a hurry, followed by the shopkeeper of the accounting room, the two entered the study room and bowed to Tian Jing: "Master Xiang."

"Did you get the silver?" Tian Jing couldn't help asking with a frown when he saw that the cashier's shopkeeper came in person.

"Master Xiang, shopkeeper Li said that he has something to report to Master Xiang..."

"What's wrong? Where's the money? What happened?" Tian Jing said dissatisfied.

"Master Xiang, the money in Yuegong's account suddenly decreased by 10,000+ taels." The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth tremblingly.

"What?" Tian Jing stood up from the chair in surprise, staring at the kneeling person below in disbelief.

"What's going on?" After the shock, it was full of anger.

"The servant has already investigated the property of Gongzhong, and found that all the dozen or so shops in Gongzhong have lost money this month, with a total loss of 13 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said profusely.

"What? How did you lose so much?" Tian Jing couldn't help but raise his voice, and even couldn't believe what the shopkeeper said.

"I don't know the specific reason. In short, the property in Gongzhong has not made a profit this month, and it has all lost money. Although it is evened out on the books, the money handed over by the shopkeepers to the accounting office is 10,000+ taels less, so the slave is in a hurry. Xiangye report."

"Hmph, who manages those properties?" Tian Jing was already furious at this time.

"Yes... it's all owned by the Da Furen." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before he said it.

"What? How is it possible? You are limited to find out the details of the transaction funds and monthly surplus of all the shops and properties under the name of the eldest lady within three days."

Tian Jing was surprised and angry at the same time, that she lost such a large sum of money, did the woman dare to hide it from him and not report it to him?

"Yes." The shopkeeper agreed, wiped his forehead with his hand, turned and left.

This morning, as soon as Tian Liusu woke up, he heard an urgent voice outside: "Is Second Miss awake?"

Dongqing replied: "Miss is not up yet, if Fifth Yiniang has something to do, please wait for a while."

"That's it, okay..." Fifth Yiniang's voice was very anxious. After Dongqing let her in, she walked back and forth outside.

Tian Liusu got up and put on her clothes, then raised the curtain and went to the outside room, and saw Fifth Yiniang leading Fifth Miss Tian Liuhua outside, her face full of anxiety.

"Second Miss." Seeing Tian Liusu come out, Fifth Yiniang stepped forward to salute her.

"Second Sister." Tian Liuhua followed Fifth Yiniang, and when she saw her come out, she also bowed to her in a low voice, with a timid look in her eyes.

"Fifth Aunt, Fifth Sister, please sit down, why don't you sleep a little longer in the early morning."

Tian Liusu let the two of them sit down, wondering what they were doing here?She hasn't had much contact with the aunts and sisters in the mansion since she returned to the mansion. How could they come to her so abruptly?It doesn't look like they're here to drop by, after all, it's early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, after listening to her words, Fifth Yiniang pulled Fifth Miss to stand up and knelt down in front of her with a "plop", and said, "Second Miss, please save Liuhua."

Tian Liusu was puzzled, and said lightly, "Fifth Aunt, please get up and talk. What's the matter? What's wrong with Fifth Sister?"

"Second miss, the concubine was forced to do nothing. Yesterday, a concubine went to serve in the wife's room. I didn't want the third aunt and the third miss to be in the wife's room. At that time, the third lady was clamoring for the wife to make decisions for her, saying She didn't want to marry Mr. Tang, the eldest lady persuaded her for a while at first, but the third lady was still crying and unwilling, and then the eldest lady said that she could marry Mr. Tang or become a monk, and then the third lady drew her dagger and wanted to commit suicide."

Tian Liusu smiled slightly when he heard this, but he didn't expect Tian Liushi to be able to do such a thing because he had a backbone.

"What happened next?" She asked lightly.

"Of course madam can't let her have an accident in her room. She asked the maids to stop her. Later, the third lady quarreled with the eldest lady, and she was slapped by the eldest lady for a long time. It was outrageous, but in the end, madam said in a fit of anger that she would marry Fourth Miss and Liuhua after Third Miss got married."

Having said that, she stopped to look at Tian Liusu, saw her listening with a blank expression, and then continued.

"The concubine secretly bribed the servant girl next to the madam to inquire about it. I heard that the madam wanted to marry Liu Hua to Yan Fu, a rich businessman in the capital, as a sequel." Wu Yiniang stopped after hearing this.

Tian Liusu looked at Tian Liuhua. She was only 11 years old this year, but she was extremely beautiful and romantic, with a well-proportioned body and a tall stature. She also looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. If she grew up, she would definitely look even worse than Tian Liuyue. At first, such a child was thinking how could Fuchu be tolerated by her elder sister who was arrogant and beautiful?Perhaps this appearance is the real reason why she is hated by the eldest lady?

"Fifth Aunt, Fifth Younger Sister is going to get married anyway. Since she is a wealthy businessman in the capital, her family background must be good. Although she is a second wife, she is also the matriarch of the family. If she manages well after passing through the family, she will definitely be able to live a good life."

Tian Liusu thought for a while, not understanding what Wu Yiniang meant when she came to ask her for help. Could it be that she was dissatisfied with the marriage?Even if you are not satisfied, then you shouldn't beg her, how can she interfere in her marriage?

"Second Miss, that Yan Fu is nearly fifty years old, and he is famously lustful in the capital. There are many wives and concubines in his family. The most important thing is that he has a child-molest temper, and he often buys some girls from Ren Yazi into the mansion for his enjoyment. , I heard he was a mad woman abuser."
