The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 476 This is a Conspiracy

The more Mrs. Hou thought about it, the more wronged she became, "There are so many people in the house who need to eat and drink, and there are so many people who need to socialize outside, and the weddings of the younger generation don't need money, just your little salary. , not enough for your own expenses for two months."

No matter what, the majestic Hou's Mansion can't be poorer than the General's Mansion.

Hou Ye was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head up, "Mother, but you can't..."

Madam Hou was so angry that she patted a few cases and said bitterly: "Is this what you are good for? The old Wang said it was my loan, so is it really me?"

Hou Ye's face darkened: "Mother, can you get away without admitting to this matter? The old Wangtou is just a servant in the mansion. Even if he takes care of the dowry fields and house for his mother, how can he have any money in his hand?" Thousands of taels of silver? When someone died, the old Wangtou took the post from the Hou's house and ran it up and down, and got the second son out of the yamen."

It's true that everyone outside is an idiot.

"He manages my house and shop, so it's convenient to embezzle silver taels. It's not surprising that he has silver in his hand. As for the post on the house, it's easier to explain. Take a step back and say, things are going to get out of hand If I bear it alone, you can still say that you don’t know.”

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to show it, she sat aside with her head shrunk and said nothing.

Hou Ye was also overjoyed, and then said embarrassingly: "Son doesn't mean that. What the mother does is also what the son does. How can the son let the mother bear it alone?"

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.If he really wants to let his mother bear the full responsibility, he can't get rid of the responsibility. If the title is not down, those who should be punished will have to be punished, and in the end they will be stigmatized as unfilial.

If you really want to admit it, it's better to let Mrs. Wang admit it.

If Mrs. Wang knew that he thought so, she would pounce on him and scratch his old face!

Madam Hou turned her face away, making it clear that she did not believe what he said.

The Marquis was very embarrassed, and said again: "There must be a solution to this matter, and my mother is not willing to see the title of the Marquis Mansion lost in my hands. In that case, my mother will not be laughed at by my aunt." die."

Master Hou's words pierced the heart of Mrs. Hou, she really wanted to slap Master Hou twice with her big mouth.Mrs. Wang heard hope from the middle, and she boldly said: "Master Hou, do you want to look for the General's Mansion, if the eldest aunt comes forward..."

Crack, a teacup lid flew past her face.

Mrs. Lao Hou scolded angrily: "You think that the family is not unlucky enough, so you rush to the general's house to find it uncomfortable? That old woman of the Xu family is not bad if she doesn't clap her hands and laugh, how can she reach out to help us? And the Seventh Sister Son, it's clearly a thorn in the head, pricking the hand!"

The Marquis was startled, but he thought it was a good idea: "Mom, calm down, the seventh sister doesn't know what's good or bad, but the eldest aunt knows how to be powerful. She also wants to take the title back, and she will definitely not just watch it. It was lost in my hands. Besides, I also feel that this matter is strange, why did it start a fuss, and Old Man Wang suddenly retorted, you said that maybe someone is deliberately targeting me behind this."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Hou felt that it was possible, and then her face softened. After thinking for a while, she said: "This matter is not as bad as you think. It's either Old Man Wang who gets nine percent of the interest, or nine percent of the interest. Among them, the old nine knows the most, you call the old nine, go to the clan, ask the second brother, he can't ignore him as the patriarch."

If you want to force the general's mansion to come forward, she can't ask for it, but the clan should come forward to put pressure on it.

His General's House still wanted Xiao Mingzhu to become a concubine, so he couldn't get a bad name for not recognizing his emotions.

Before Master Hou left the mansion, people from Dali Temple came and said that the case had changed again.

It is said that two merchants led the middlemen with IOUs, saying that they borrowed 5000 taels of silver from Lord Hou, and returned nine out of ten and thirteen out!
When Lord Hou heard this, his eyes almost went dark and he fell on the spot.

He heard the second housekeeper in the mansion mention it.The two merchants took the initiative to write the IOU, found a middleman, and even offered to offer a high interest rate of [-] out of [-] returns, and they were indeed tempted at the time.

However, he knew that the crime of profiteering and expropriation of the people was serious, so he didn't dare to accept this matter.

Unexpectedly, he didn't agree and didn't give money, but these two people took a fake IOU and led a middleman to testify against him!
The IOUs in the hands of the two men were clearly written, with the signature of the intermediary underneath, and they swore that they had received the money from the second housekeeper.The second housekeeper who had been detained in Dali Temple did not know why, since he also accepted the account.

By this time, Guangyanghou had understood that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against him!

Lord Hou left with the people from Dali Temple, and Mrs. Hou couldn't sit still anymore, and went to the clan in person.

When Xiao Mingzhu heard that someone from the clan had come, she was not surprised at all.

Nanny Shang was nervous: "Girl, why don't you say that your injury is not good enough to see guests?"

Xiao Mingzhu shook her head: "If you can't see me, you must see the old lady." If the General's Mansion doesn't give an attitude to this matter, the clan will definitely not give up.

Xiao Mingzhu sorted things out before going to the front hall.

In the front hall, when the old patriarch saw her coming, he was slightly taken aback, and then sighed softly: "Where's your grandmother?"

"Grandmother believes in Buddhism the most, and is doing homework now. I don't know if the second uncle is here, what's the matter?" Xiao Mingzhu glanced at the people in the hall, except for the old patriarch and the ninth old man, there were three middle-aged people she didn't recognize. people.She knew it in her heart, and she was afraid that these people were all people in the clan who had something to do with loan sharks.

The old patriarch couldn't wipe his face, couldn't open his mouth, the ninth old lady was impatient, and couldn't care less, so he opened his mouth and said: "Seventh sister, there are people out there who are slandering your uncle for giving loan sharks and killing people, can you help me with this matter?" Pass a letter to the second prince."

"No." Xiao Mingzhu readily refused.

Everyone in the hall changed their faces on the spot, the Ninth Old Master jumped up and shouted angrily: "Seventh Sister, what is your attitude! Do you really think that something happened in the clan, and the General's Mansion can take care of itself?"

"Old Ninth!" The patriarch shouted angrily, stopped the Ninth Old Master, and then said: "Seventh Sister, this matter is beyond your willfulness."

Xiao Mingzhu chuckled softly: "I didn't participate in the ushering of the Hou's house, and I didn't spend a penny from the Hou's house. What happened to me now? Could it be that the emperor will blame me for the mistakes made by the Hou's house?" On the little girl's head?"

The Ninth Old Master was angry: "Hmph, you said you didn't participate if you didn't participate? You can't write two Xiao characters in one stroke! Do you think that the clan has been charged with extorting money from the people, and you can still be a prince and concubine?"

"It's up to you to decide whether you can do it or not." Xiao Mingzhu didn't care. At the end, she sneered: "Do you think, in the eyes of the emperor, the General's Mansion and the Xiao family are really one?"

These words abruptly made everyone present shudder.
