It wasn't until the old lady turned over all the account books in her hand that Jiang Fuyao felt excited again.

"This is wrong," the old lady frowned, "Why is the money getting less and less, and there has been no income for several months?"

As the old lady spoke, she looked at Jiang Fuyao.

When she saw Jiang Fuyao's face, the old lady's pupils shrank slightly.

But she didn't say anything, still just looking at her.

Jiang Fuyao said without any guilt: "Mother-in-law, the imperial court has taken back a lot of the Hou Mansion's property, so..."

What she said was true.

When she mentioned this matter, the old lady's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

I almost forgot about this incident.

The old lady took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Fuyao again, with a hint of disgust in her tone: "What about your dowry? Since you have married into my family, your dowry naturally belongs to my family as well. Why don't you take it out? To subsidize the family?"

Jiang Fuyao had a dull look on his face and his tone was even colder: "The dowry has been almost spent, and I don't have any money."

Although Mrs. Jiang had saved a dowry for her early on, when she got married, Mrs. Jiang was no longer here, and the dowry fell into Aunt Shu's hands, and she received less than half of it.

What's more, as a human being, who can't leave a way out for himself?

The Hou Mansion was about to collapse, and it was of no use to Jiang Fuyao, so she would naturally look for an opportunity to leave.

She had already broken up with Jiang Baisheng, and the Jiang family no longer supported her. After she left, she couldn't go begging on the street.

The dowry in her hand is her last resort.

No matter what, it is impossible to take it out for the Hou Mansion to use.

"You don't have any money, but your natal family is still in the capital." The look of disgust on the old lady's face became even more serious. "Why do you have to teach you every step of the way? Although you have married outside, it is your natal family after all. You go back and get some money, what else can anyone say?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fuyao couldn't help but frown: "Mother-in-law, when I got married, I broke up with my family. How could I go back and ask for money now? Even if I asked for it, they wouldn't give it to me. of!"

Back then, Jiang Baisheng was so angry that she fainted on the spot. Her father had always been petty, and she was no longer of much use. He knew that it would be impossible to help her now, and even if he went back, he would only be humiliating himself!

"How will you know if you don't try?" The old lady said softly, "You have to try. After all, you are the biological daughter of the Jiang family. There is no way they won't help!"

This old lady has changed her face very quickly now!

Jiang Fuyao was so angry that he sat down at the dining table.

Seeing this, Mother Liu quickly poured her a cup of tea and put it in her hand respectfully: "Madam, the old lady is also doing it for the good of our Hou Mansion! Think about it, the food and clothing expenses of everyone in the Hou Mansion. Why don't you need money? Looking at the scenery outside, don't you still have to rely on money to support yourself? Even if you don't say anything else, you are an upright Madam of the Hou Mansion. If you go out and don't even have a bit of dignity, wouldn't it be... Is this a joke?"

"If you want to save face, it's better to lay off some of the servants in the Hou Mansion. Anyway, the face is only for outsiders to see." Jiang Fuyao said angrily.

She had long been dissatisfied with the extravagance and waste in the Hou Mansion.

There are hundreds of servants alone!

Even the concubines in the backyard, in addition to having their own personal maids, each courtyard is also equipped with a dedicated sweeper!

In the past, when she looked at it, she only felt that the scenery was infinite, but now she realizes that she feels distressed.

All this money spent is money!

"How can that be done? If such a big Marquis Mansion doesn't have servants to take care of it all the time, wouldn't it be in ruins?" The old lady frowned, "Hurry up and go back to ask for money after drinking this tea! I already had it yesterday I have chosen a pair of bracelets, and they cost six hundred taels, so just ask for this amount!"

After saying that, the old lady got up and left first.

Jiang Fuyao almost broke his teeth.

No wonder this old guy suddenly wants to check the account books.

It turned out that the account book was fake, so I took the opportunity to ask her to go back to get some money and buy her a bracelet.

What's going on here, still giving me the bracelet!

Jiang Fuyao looked at the tea cup in front of him and endured it again and again. Finally, he shook his hand and knocked the tea cup over to the ground.

Tea spilled on the floor, Jiang Fuyao stood up angrily, turned around and left.

On the other side, the old lady heard all the movements in the main hall: "Jiang Fuyao's temper is really getting louder and louder now. He dares to be so arrogant in my yard!"

Mother Liu also sighed and said: "Our new lady is far worse than the previous one in terms of temperament, temperament, and family management methods. Alas..."

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known earlier, I really shouldn't have done that to Fuyue! Alas! If Fuyue was still here, our Hou Mansion would definitely not be in the situation it is now."

Mother Liu nodded repeatedly.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

The old lady is now filled with regret.

On that side, Jiang Fuyao angrily returned to his yard and asked Jinxiu to dress herself up again.

Jinxiu tried her best to tie up her hair again, but she had trouble putting on makeup.

Jiang Fuyao's current face is not something that can be smoothed over by applying some makeup or powder.

Moreover, because her cheeks were so swollen that one of her eyes was squeezed out of shape, making her look a bit funny, which Jinxiu couldn't handle.

In desperation, Jinxiu had no choice but to say: "Madam, why don't you ask the kitchen to boil two eggs? Let's apply it for a while before going out!"

Jiang Fuyao looked at himself in the mirror and was also shocked.

"How could this happen?!" She clearly remembered that it was not like this before going out!

No wonder she felt her eyes were weird. She originally thought it was her illusion, but to her surprise, she turned out to have this look!

How can you go out like this?

"Quick! Find a way to reduce the swelling!" Jiang Fuyao took Jinxiu's hand.

Jinxiu was in pain and nodded quickly: "Yes! I will go and find a solution now!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fuyao let go of his hand, turned around and looked at himself in the mirror, with a look of horror on his face.

This, I'm afraid this is going to disfigure me!

Jinxiu quickly came back with the freshly cooked eggs and carefully applied them to all the wounds on Jiang Fuyao's face.

After rolling it with eggs, the redness and swelling on my face visibly subsided.

But if someone sees you when you go out with such a face, you will be laughed at to death!

"By the way, madam, we have curtain hats, let's go out with them!" Jinxiu had an idea.

Jiang Fuyao was startled, then nodded quickly: "Yes! Curtain hat! Go and get the curtain hat!"

Jinxiu responded and quickly turned around to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

It wasn't until he put the pure white hat on his head that his face was covered by pure white that Jiang Fuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "...let's go."
