Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 88

Things would be easier if people didn't die.Although Mrs. Shen came a bit late, she did not hold back Shen Ruyi and Lord Shen Hou.Last time, because Shen Ruyi urgently needed to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, she rummaged through the memories of her previous life and ruined the actions of Lord Shen for several years. She felt a little uneasy.

So when she was the housekeeper for the past six months, she often secretly studied those ledgers, and then asked Nanny Chen and others to inquire about them in private.It is relatively simple for her to have a goal, a ledger, and a memory from her previous life.

Little Mammy Liu was more careful. The money she got from corruption was not hidden in her own home, but she bought another yard and land.It's just that if you have a yard and land, you need to have a land deed and a house deed. These things, little mother Liu dare not keep around, so Datong Bank exists.

Shen Ruyi didn't just want to search Little Madam Liu's house when she borrowed Lord Shen Hou, but also wanted to find out the seal of Datong Bank.

Here Mrs. Shen tripped over the old lady, and over there, Lord Shen and Shen Ruyi collected all the evidence they needed.Little Liu Mammy bought it. Compared with Xiao Qiu Momo last time, Little Liu Momo has a more favorable position, so she has more corruption than Xiao Qiu Momo.

That's a staggering statistic, and that's not counting real estate.Shen Houye was such a calm person in the past, but this time he was so angry that his face changed: "I never thought that we have always advertised generosity and kindness, but we were blinded by such slaves! These big rats, After eating the master's house and fattening myself up, it's really..."

Lord Shen's face was livid, and the old lady wanted to speak, but seeing the things that Lord Shen had placed in the middle of the room, her lips moved, but no sound came out.Even if she didn't care about things, she could tell that there were a lot of things in the boxes on the ground, which should have been shrunk in the warehouse.

There are bottles that the old Hou Ye liked during his lifetime, there are dowry antiques collected by generations of old ladies in the Hou Mansion, and there are even rewards from the emperor.Because of the long history, the old lady was getting old, and she didn't remember very clearly, so she never said that she wanted to see these things.

Furthermore, there are many things in the Hou's mansion, and every generation of old ladies has their own dowry, so the decoration of the Hou's mansion is all according to their own preferences.The ones that were replaced were put in the warehouse, and no one would remember to look at them unless it was a major event.

This gave Little Mother Liu a chance to take advantage of the loophole.She secretly replaced things that hadn't been mentioned for ten or eight years.Even, there is no need to change it, just take it away.

"I can't tolerate such a thing." Lord Shen's face was frosty, and the smile that used to hang on his face in the past was also frozen: "Mother, you are old, I'm afraid there is no way to deal with such things , Let Ruyi help me with this matter."

Lord Shen turned his head to look at the old lady. With that look, the old lady couldn't even muster up the courage to say no.

"Mother, give Ruyi the deeds of sale for everyone in the mansion." Lord Shen Hou said the ultimate purpose, and the old lady shook her head subconsciously: "No!"

"Then mother will read all the ledgers when she has time, and then see if there are any slaves like this in our Marquis Mansion?" Lord Shen casually nodded to the little mother Liu who was spread out on the side, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, the old lady At this age, let alone reconciling the accounts, looking at the words on the account book gave her a headache.

"Wanxin hasn't been in the mansion for more than ten years, and the servants in this mansion are all disorganized. Taking this opportunity, I want to sort out the servants of our Hou's mansion." Shen Houye stared at the mansion with dark eyes. Looking at the old lady, she said, "Mother doesn't sell her body to Ruyi, is she planning to sort out the Marquis's mansion by herself?"

"That's the child of the family who has served us for several lifetimes..." The old lady frowned, and Lord Shen sneered: "Little mother Liu is also the child of the family, right? If I remember correctly, her grandfather once Saved my great-grandfather's life?"

The old lady nodded: "It's good that you still remember, we can't let people say that we are ungrateful, right?"

"Just because the great-grandfather of Little Liu's grandpa saved my great-grandfather's life, I have to always treat Little Liu as my master? Even the hero who founded the country didn't get such treatment, right? Our Hou Mansion is able to do so because of our meritorious service." Passed down to my generation, when the child in Wanxin's womb is born, he will be demoted when he takes on the title again. In my great-grandson's life, he won't even have a title. Mommy, don't tell me what I mean? "

The first generation of Marquis Shen, the reason why he was granted the title of Marquis was not only because he lived the life of the founding emperor, but also because he fought and made meritorious deeds through life and death.Then pass it down from generation to generation, and count down a few more generations, and the credit will be used up.The blessings and favors brought by the ancestors will also be used up.

If the descendants of the Shen family still want to be prosperous again, they have to work hard on their own.

Even a family like Shen Houye can't pass on the merits of founding the country from one generation to the next forever. The great-grandfather of Little Liu Nanny, the life-saving grace has been used for three generations, and it should be used to the end.

I have never heard of this life-saving grace, and it will be repaid inexhaustibly by future generations.

The old lady was speechless, if she argued with Lord Shen Hou, it would seem to be saying that the court was unkind, if it spread, it would mean that the Hou family was dissatisfied with the court.She could not refute, nor did she dare to refute.

"Then there is no need to sell the deed. When Ruyi finds out the matter, if you want to sell it or send it to the official, you can come to me to ask for the deed. Some people in this mansion have served me all my life. Ruyi is still young. , if I drive away all the people I need, who will serve me later? I don’t want to intercede with anyone, but this law is nothing more than human feelings, and some people can be dealt with lightly.”

"The deed of sale is more convenient with Ruyi." Lord Shen couldn't refuse, the old lady sighed: "I did this for the sake of Ruyi. She is young and hasn't been engaged yet. It has only been more than half a year since she came back, even a year. It didn’t even happen, and this kind of thing happened twice…”

"It's not Ruyi's fault!" Lord Shen was quite surprised: "Before, because there was no mistress in the Hou Mansion, the servants of the Hou Mansion were lazy and greedy for money. After Wanxin and Ruyi came back, they immediately found out the problem. Even if there is any gossip outside, shouldn't it be praise Wanxin and Ruyi who manage the family well?"

"How did you say it, but who would want a cruel and ruthless daughter-in-law?" The old lady said earnestly: "Ruyi hasn't married yet. If it is too powerful, who would dare to come to propose marriage if it gets out? Although the girl is not married In the past, they had to learn about housekeeping first, but there was no girl who would fight and kill as soon as they came up. It was rumored that Ruyi was capable and knew how to be a housekeeper. Our Ruyi is Shura."

"Well then, Ruyi won't let Ruyi take the contract of sale." Lord Shen nodded his head, and before the old lady was happy, Lord Shen continued to say: "Let's leave it to Wanxin, who has already After three months, her body has stabilized. With Aunt Wang and Ruyi taking care of her, she can also manage the house. The deed of selling her body is given to Wanxin. Anyway, Wanxin is also the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and she sells servants or something. , is justifiable.”

Seeing that the old lady's complexion was not very good, Shen Houye comforted him again: "Mother is worried about those who have served you all your life? Don't worry, Wanxin is a filial person, and she can keep filial piety for my father in Daming Mansion for ten years. She will definitely do her best for you, and if she deals with her servants, those around you will definitely discuss it with you."

Anyway, after all, this deed of sale must be taken out.

The old lady was about to pass out as soon as she rolled her eyes, but before she could lean back, she heard Lord Shen continue to say: "Rong Lan, go and get the box containing the contract!"

Rong Lan didn't dare to move, and went to see the old lady secretly. Lord Shen frowned, a little annoyed: "Why, I can't even command a maid now, can I? If that's the case, then don't move, Nanny Song, Go search in the house and find out all the deeds."

He didn't intend to talk to the old lady at all, no matter whether the old lady was willing or unwilling, Master Shen planned to take the deed of sale away.If you don't want to, then use violent means to solve it.The old lady could see that it would be of no benefit to be tough against Lord Shen.

He had made up his mind that no matter how much he procrastinated, he would not be able to procrastinate.

Rather than waiting for Master Shen to find out the deeds of sale, it is better for her to be more generous and have the deeds of sale taken out.There is still a big difference between tearing face and not tearing face, even if she wished her eldest son would disappear from her eyes immediately, she couldn't completely fall out with him.

Taking a deep breath, the old lady stopped Lord Shen: "What are you talking about, Rong Lan is serving me, so you should ask me first. What are you in a hurry for?"

After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Rong Lan: "Go, bring over the box beside my bed with the magpie climbing the plum tree." Rong Lan is the old lady's confidant, and she knew where the box was placed when she heard it. Not a suspicious person, but important things should be kept in a more hidden place.

It is said to be the head of the bed, but it is actually a hidden compartment at the head of the bed.This bed is the old lady's dowry, and even Lord Shen Hou doesn't know the secret compartment.

Soon, Rong Lan brought the box over.Shen Houye opened it and looked it up. He was sure it was correct, and he planned to go back, but just raised his head, he heard the old lady ask: "Where is Lu Shi and Ruyi? Why haven't I seen them for a long time? Why, want to sell the deed, If you don't come here to get it yourself, you still want you, Lord Hou, to come forward and work for them?"

Lord Shen frowned slightly: "After a busy day, Wanxin still had a child in her stomach, so I told her to go back to rest quickly. As for Ruyi, she had to look at the account books and take care of Wanxin, so I didn't let her come. Besides Mom, aren't you resting? In the past, you don't need to say hello at night, what are you doing here now?"

The old lady rolled her eyes angrily, and Lord Shen got up gracefully: "If it's okay, mother, go to bed earlier, it's getting late, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't be with you."
