Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 97 Chapter 113
Steward Lu kept wiping away his cold sweat, feeling terrified, "Master Hou, all the rewards from the princess' pavilion have been put into the treasury, and there is an account book to check."

"Who allowed you to put the things in the princess's pavilion into the treasury?"

Steward Lu lowered his head, his eyeballs turned cunningly, subconsciously glanced at Ji Wenshuang's direction from the corner of his eyes, and met Ji Wenshuang's warning eyes, he quickly lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said with a flash of inspiration:
"Yes, yes, it is what the old lady said back then. The princess is still young and unable to manage the huge property of the princess's pavilion. First let the old slave enter the treasury and take care of it. After the princess leaves the cabinet, the property will be used as a dowry Send it to your husband's house."

Speaking of the old lady, Yan Aoxiong's eyes dimmed, the old lady went crazy a few years ago, and could not tell the words of the housekeeper.

Furthermore, Yan Aoxiong does not intend to continue to pursue this matter in front of so many outsiders, after all family ugliness cannot be publicized.

"In that case..."

He was about to suppress this matter first, and deal with it after the outsider left.

Doctor Zhang seemed to be very suspicious of Steward Lu's words, and asked angrily.

"Yan Qingcheng is the concubine of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, where is Yueyin in her pavilion?"

Even if there is no reward, as a daughter of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, the monthly silver is enough for a daughter to eat well, dress well, and play well without being so downcast.

Steward Lu thought that the lie was over, but who knew that Doctor Zhang's talkative talk about Yueyin was the thing that made him feel guilty the most, so he couldn't help but gouged out the talkative Doctor Zhang resentfully.

Yan Qingcheng was not treated by Ji Wenshuang, and everyone in the mansion knew that he had been in the mansion for more than 20 years, and he had always been a servant, the kind who ran errands. Later, the old lady became insane, and Lord Hou was away all year round, and Ji Wenshuang was in charge of the mansion. After taking power, Nian promoted him to be a housekeeper because he had been in the mansion for a long time. In order to please Ji Wenshuang, he naturally obeyed Ji Wenshuang's order.

Although Ji Wenshuang didn't say anything about the embezzlement of Yueyin in the Princess Pavilion, but he understood the implication of Ji Wenshuang's sentence "as long as she doesn't starve to death", so he arbitrarily withheld Yueyin.

How could he not be flustered now that he was exposed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Xi from the corner of his eye, his eyes flashed shrewdly.

"Master Hou, on the fifth day of every lunar month, the old slave will transfer the money to the Princess Pavilion on time. Yes, the girl Yunxi came to collect it in person, and everything is recorded in the account."

Yun Xi immediately argued:
"Master Hou, Yunxi has received monthly silver, but it's all broken silver, less than two taels in total."

"You're talking nonsense! It's obviously 50 taels." Steward Lu pointed at Yun Xi and scolded with certainty.

Yun Xi's face turned pale with fright, and he kept shaking his head, "No, Yun Xi swears, only two or two."

"I think it's because you, a girl, saw that Qianqian was blind, so she embezzled the moon silver."

Since Yan Qingcheng couldn't offend, and Ji Wenshuang couldn't offend him, he could only ask Yun Xi, the scapegoat, to take the blame for him.

Yun Xi didn't expect Steward Lu to frame her, so she turned pale in shock, and repeatedly denied it, "Master Lu, no, no Yun Xi, it's Steward Lu, who spouted blood and framed Yun Xi, Lord Hou, please investigate clearly."

Yan Aoxiong's face was gloomy, his eyes were flickering.

In the current situation, it seems that Yunxi can only be sacrificed first to quickly settle the matter.

"Come here, drag Yun Xi down first, and wait to be dealt with."

Seeing the householder in the mansion rushing over, Yan Qingcheng immediately tugged on Yan Aoxiong's sleeve, begging with tears like rain:

"Father, please don't take Yunxi away. The only person left beside my daughter who can be trusted is Yunxi. The others were all executed by the mansion. My daughter believes that Yunxi is innocent. I beg you, please let me go." Yunxi."
