Chapter 454
"Tens of thousands of silver?!"

Even the well-informed Su Qingyi was taken aback after hearing this number.

It's not because of how huge the number is, but because the old lady hasn't made any big moves in the past few days, why did she spend tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Su Qingyi's face was full of doubts.

Cuihong smiled wryly and said: "Speaking of this matter, the eldest girl really doesn't even mention it! A few days ago, it wasn't the wife's excuse to take care of the sixth girl, so I hope the old lady can take care of these trivial matters in the house for a while! At that time, the servants I was still puzzled, how could my wife be so generous and hand over the rights of housekeeper like this!"

Su Qingyi's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly asked: "To tell you the truth, sister Cuihong, I was also curious at the time... It's just that the old lady is an old lady after all, and when the old lady was the head of the general's mansion, she didn't I know where it is! So I didn’t think too much about it...Why, is there anything wrong with this?”

"When the old lady took over, our house was like an empty shell! It's almost the end of the new year, and the old lady checked the accounts in the past few days, and found that she couldn't make ends meet, and there was almost no cash in the books!"

Cui Hong sighed, and then said: "The old lady was in a hurry at first, she never thought that just after clearing things up in the morning, in the afternoon, shopkeepers from shops like clothes, jewelry, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt would come to pay the bill! When we got to the door, could we still let people go back empty-handed? So the old lady had no choice but, after checking the accounts one by one, she came to her own box and settled the account with her own money... Didn't she just want to breathe a sigh of relief , I didn’t want the old lady to fall down... Alas!"

As she spoke, Cui Hong's tears fell down unexpectedly.

Su Qingyi's eyes flashed thoughtful.

All these times are tightly stuck together, if there is no conspiracy in it, Su Qingyi will not believe it even if she is killed!
It's clear that Mrs. Xie is trying to take advantage of the old lady's money, so a few days ago, she used the excuse of taking care of Su Qingliu and dumped the power of the housekeeper!

Thinking of this, Su Qingyi couldn't help being angrily: "Don't the old lady know that all of this was deliberately set up by that one?! Why did the old lady take such a big responsibility for her?! Although our General's Mansion cannot be called a home The business is great, but the farm outside, as well as the teahouse, cloth, and pawn shop, how can they make ends meet?!"

"Even if you know that Mrs. Xie is behind the scenes, what can you do?"

Cui Hong lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "I only hate that this servant did not learn how to plan well! The wife's project is clear, although the servant doubts, but she doesn't have the ability to find out... The old lady is still scrupulous The reputation in the mansion has made them pay off all the money in a hurry, it’s not just a short time of one or two days, tens of thousands of taels of silver have been spent like this..."

Su Qingyi felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Indeed, with the wisdom of the old lady, wouldn't she know that this is a trap?But the old lady still chose to jump down.

Grandma, grandma, is the reputation of the general's mansion so important, so important that he doesn't care about any grievances?Is it so important that even if someone does something wrong, you can only choose to turn a blind eye?
But please forgive me, Qingyi probably won't be able to reach your level in this lifetime...
