Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 262 Designing to seize power, secretly investigating secrets (2)
Tears flowed from the corners of Wu Yiniang's eyes after she finished speaking. She reached out and touched Tian Liuhua's head, looking at her lovingly.

Tian Liusu's eyes fluttered, and he thought of his mother, who was so kind to her when she was a child. If her mother was still alive, she would treat her like Wu Yiniang treated Tian Liuhua. She was moved for a moment. heart of.

"Fifth Yiniang, this matter is decided by mother, it seems inconvenient for me to intervene." Tian Liusu said leisurely.

"Second Miss, this servant girl knows that you are a capable person. Although the people in the house have said many bad things about you, this servant girl knows that the rumors outside are definitely not wrong. Second Miss is really a talented person, maidservant. My concubine swears that if the second miss can save Liuhua's life, she will swear allegiance to the death in the future."

Seeing that Tian Liusu was a little loose, Fifth Yiniang hurriedly expressed her loyalty, as long as she could save Tian Liuhua, she would do anything.

"Don't worry, Auntie. From tomorrow onwards, let Fifth Younger Sister recuperate in her yard. Don't come out if you have nothing to do. Things will change in the mansion soon. Let her come out after things subside."

As Tian Liusu said, he took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his bosom, and when he got some, he wrapped it in paper and handed it to Fifth Auntie.

"If Auntie can trust Tassel, she will feed the powder to Fifth Sister to eat. Some freckles will appear on Fifth Sister's body. When the time comes, the news will be passed on to Madam, Madam will not give Fifth Sister to that person as a sequel. It is said that the man only wants innocent girls."

"Second Miss knows that person too?" After hearing her words, Fifth Yiniang reached out to take the medicine bag, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Auntie, this medicine will only cause some spots to grow, and it will fade away on its own in half a month. It will not leave any scars at that time, and it will be exactly the same as now. Since Tassel dares to use it for you, I dare to promise you. "

After getting Tian Liusu's guarantee, Wu Yiniang was relieved, she pulled Tian Liuhua and kowtowed to Tian Liusu before leaving.

The eldest lady did exactly what Wu Yiniang said, and called Si Yiniang and Wu Yiniang to her room the next day, saying that she wanted to marry Tian Liuxin and Tian Liuhua, but Wu Yiniang cried and said that Tian Liuhua didn't know why. Overnight, a layer of mottled spots grew all over his body. Looking at people, he begged the lady to ask the doctor to take a look.

It just so happened at this juncture, the eldest lady looked at Wu Yiniang suspiciously, and ordered someone to invite the doctor, and when the doctor came for a diagnosis and treatment, it was as Wu Yiniang said, Fifth Miss had an unknown strange disease, There were spots all over her body, and there were small bumps one by one. After a long time of diagnosis and treatment, the doctor could not confirm what the disease was, but prescribed some antiseptic and anti-swelling medicines for her to take.

As soon as this incident came out, the matter of discussing relatives could no longer be carried out, and the eldest lady had to order to wait until Miss Fifth recovered from her illness before discussing.

Tian Liufeng's birthday party was not held extravagantly. Tian Jing originally wanted to invite all the ladies and nobles in the capital to attend this time, in order to let Tian Liufeng choose a favorite woman, but Tian Liufeng disagreed. Ladies and gentlemen of Xiangfu, please eat barbecue and Haidilao at the recently popular Tianfu Restaurant in the capital, and then sing a hall in the mansion.

Although Tian Jing and the eldest lady were dissatisfied, they had already promised him to take care of it by himself, so they had no choice but to let him celebrate his birthday simply like this.

Three days later, shopkeeper Li found out all the account details of the loss of the Xiangfu property and store in charge of the eldest lady, and he presented the accounts to Tian Jing in Tian Jing's study. He couldn't help tearing the account book in half and throwing it in the face of shopkeeper Li.

Then he loudly ordered Tian Yong to invite the eldest lady and Tian Liufeng.

The eldest lady has been busy making up for the loss in the accounts these few days, and she is already exhausted and unable to do what she wants. Today, she managed to fill up all the holes, but spent [-]% to [-]% of the money she had accumulated in her private house over the years. Before taking a breather, he received another order from Tian Jing, so he had to rush to the study again.

Entering the study room, I saw a dull air surging in the study room. Both Tian Jing and Tian Liufeng were sitting on the chairs. A menacing mountain rain was about to fill the building, and a graceful one was sitting indifferently, holding a teacup in his hand. Drinking leisurely.

Seeing her coming in, Tian Jing glanced at her with sharp eyes, and lowered his head to drink tea, his eyes faintly exuded anger.

"Mother." Tian Liufeng stood up and saluted her, then sat down on his own.

"Feng'er." She called Tian Liufeng, then turned to look at Tian Jing.

"My lord, what's the point of calling my concubine here?" Seeing the situation, she wondered, secretly thinking that she had already made up for the loss of money, so Tian Jing probably didn't know about it in such a short period of time, right?

"Ma'am, the power of the family in the mansion has always been in your hands, but what happened?" Tian Jing took a sip from his teacup steadily, and then asked casually.

"Master, since the concubine has been in charge of the house, I have personally done everything and never made a mistake. The monthly silver, clothes, face, and gouache for the aunts and ladies in the mansion are also distributed on time every month, and there has never been any delay, sir. What do you mean by this? Could it be that you suspect the concubine?"

The lady heard that Tian Jing's words were wrong, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious. She strictly ordered the money-losing shopkeepers not to spread the matter. Could it be that someone still spread the word and stabbed the matter into Tian Jing's ears?

"I don't suspect you, but if something happens in the mansion, you can't hide it. You should discuss the countermeasures with me or Feng'er." Seeing that she still looked like nothing happened, Tian Jing couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Make the words more and more clear.

"Master, don't worry, the properties of our Xiangfu are all shops in prosperous areas. The business has been very good in recent years. How could something happen? If the master doesn't believe it, you can call the shopkeepers of all the industrial shops in the Xiangfu. Ask them face to face, they must know the situation in the shop like the palm of their hands, even better than my concubines."

Seeing that Tian Jing seemed uncertain, the eldest lady probably just heard about it and didn't actually check it out. Thinking that she had made up all the losses and was not afraid of his audit, she gradually calmed down. After all, she was an accountant. She has been the head of the house for ten years, even if he really knows about it, that is to say, she just said a few words, what can she do?
With a sound of "snap", an account book was thrown over and landed at the feet of the eldest lady. Tian Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't have time to play tricks with her. He even gave her a chance to let her speak out , she was still forcibly quibbling, and he suddenly threw the account book at her feet in a rage.

"What is this?" Seeing that the situation was not right, the eldest lady was thinking about the countermeasures.

"This is the detailed loss amount of the property store in Xiangfu Gongzhong this month. In less than a month, the store has lost 10,000+ silver. Why did you hide such a big matter and not report it, and you even filled it out yourself? Holes? Over the years, how much money have you embezzled from the Prime Minister's Mansion without telling me?"
