After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

She still lived a tight life every month and had to go to the old lady from time to time to cry poor and beg for some pocket money to spend.

When Zhang thought about how all her past expenses were taken away by these two slaves, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

"I'll deal with you two when we get back!"

After speaking to Zi'er and Chu'er.

Zhang looked at Lu Zhiran again, "So, what did you prove with this account book?"

"You don't think you can deduct my monthly salary just because you found out that the maid in the courtyard stole money!"

Lu Zhiran said gently.

"Of course not. This account book is just to tell mother that she doesn't actually spend that much money every month."

Bullshit, as a person who loves playing cards, how could I complain that the money I earn every month is too much?

What's more, she had to go to the old lady every month to cry poor and ask for money. For Lu Zhiran to ask for her monthly allowance from Zhang was no different from asking for her life.

"Lu Zhiran, I don't care what tricks you are trying to play or what tricks you are up to."

"If you dare to assert your authority over me, I will never let you go."

"I advise you to return my monthly salary immediately."

It turns out that Zhang is not so easy to deal with.

Madam Fu’s job is not easy!

Lu Zhiran sighed silently in his heart.

Lu Zhiran looked at Zixiang again, and Zixiang took out another account book from the study and handed it to Lu Zhiran.

Zhang stared at Lu Zhiran coldly, not knowing what tricks Lu Zhiran was going to play this time.

After getting the account book, Lu Zhiran looked at the servants beside Zhang and the servants in the hall and said, "You all should go out for now and close the door."

Zixiang and her group took the initiative to leave the room.

Zi'er and Chu'er looked at Zhang, and Zhang nodded coldly.

This means I agree with Lu Zhiran's statement.

Wait until everyone leaves and close the door.

There were only Lu Zhiran and Zhang in the main hall.

Lu Zhiran spoke frankly to Zhang.

"Mother, I won't hide anything from you anymore. I'll tell you the truth!"

"Over the years, it has always been my grandmother who has been in charge of the accounts. You don't know Fu Nei's situation, so it's normal for you to spend money lavishly."

Lu Zhiran is not a person who will suffer a loss. Madam Fu wants her to pay money to support the housekeeper, but how is that possible? Money is not only Zhang's lifeblood, but also Lu Zhiran's. There is no reason for her to spit out the money that has come into her hands.

Since no one is responsible for this matter, we can only bear the consequences together.

"But in fact, the Fu family has long been unable to make ends meet."

Lu Zhiran said it directly and clearly.

"If it weren't for this reason, mother, how could I, a newlywed, dare to challenge your authority? There is really no other way."

Zhang sneered directly.

"Impossible. The old lady's housekeeper was fine before, but how come you are the one who is outspending immediately? We are such a big mansion with so many properties awarded by the emperor, how can we be outspending?"

Lu Zhiran directly handed the account book to Zhang and explained to him the deficits in certain places, directly tearing off the last layer of fig leaf.

"Our Fu Mansion is indeed a marquis's mansion. We are favored by the emperor and enjoy many treasures. The Marquis does not have any official position. He just inherited the title of the old Marquis and receives money every month."

"But look at this huge mansion, it's full of slaves who eat money."

"This... and this, the businesses in these places are all owned by relatives of the Fu family. They are in deficit every day, and they take advantage of it, but they still want us and the Fu family to make up for it..."

"How can the Fu family have money in the long run?"

Zhang looked at the account book and was completely stunned.

She never expected that the Marquis's Mansion would have no money.

"Then according to what you said, where did the money come from before?"

"It was made up by the profits from the shop run by my grandmother."

"But despite this, the money my grandmother made from her shop was decreasing day by day. Even if she took out money to make up for it, it wouldn't last long."

Zhang was completely shocked.

She used to think that being a housekeeper was a good job, as the money was in her hands and she could spend as much money as she wanted to play cards, so Zhang had been asking the old lady for the right to be a housekeeper.

If the housekeeper power really fell into her hands.

Not only will she not get any money to play cards, but she will also most likely have to pay with her own money.

It seems that this stewardship power is not a good thing!

At this time, Lu Zhiran took the opportunity to gain favor.

"It's all my daughter-in-law's fault for not being as capable as my grandmother. Now that I'm the housekeeper, I have to bear the brunt of my mother's suffering."

"Don't worry, mother. You just need to cut back on your spending and diet for a while. When your daughter-in-law makes money, she will definitely honor you well."

Lu Zhiran's words sounded nice, but the fact was that Zhang's monthly allowance was not much.

Zhang felt really uncomfortable.

She looked at Lu Zhiran, hesitant to speak, "Why don't you return the housekeeper power to the old lady."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, he immediately showed an impatient expression on his face.

"Is it really possible?"

"Mother, I actually feel that I am not a good housekeeper, but every time I say it, grandma disagrees and gets angry with me. How about you go and talk to grandma on my behalf?"

I dare not go to Zhang's place.

Madam Fu was so fierce, and Zhang had always thought that the old lady was the housekeeper and was enjoying the benefits all day long, but it turned out that she was the one eating her. Zhang began to feel uncomfortable.

The power of the housekeeper suddenly became a hot potato.

No one is willing to take over.

"You should go and tell it yourself!"

Zhang said with a cold face, looking at Lu Zhiran's somewhat innocent and immature face, and even thought in her heart that this old lady had been in charge of the household for so many years and had invested so much money in it that she must have been impatient a long time ago.

No wonder she married her beloved grandson Fu Yuzhang to a businessman's daughter.

At that time, she was still thinking that Lu Zhiran was really lucky.

Now that I think about it, this old lady might have also planned to use Lu Zhiran's money to make up for the deficit.

It turns out that the older you are, the more cunning you are. When it comes to scheming against people, this old lady is still the most ruthless.

Zhang couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Lu Zhiran.

Patting Lu Zhiran on the shoulder, he said, "Forget it. If that's the case, I'm not an unreasonable person."

"Then the monthly salary will be temporarily reduced for a period of time, but Lu Zhiran, I don't care what method you use, I will only give you a period of time, and my monthly salary must be increased back."

"Ah... Mother."

Zhang glared at Lu Zhiran.

Finally, Lu Zhiran reluctantly nodded and agreed.
