The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

That evening, Prince Shun returned home. He was furious when he learned that the lotus flowers and leaves had been chopped off, and he took his guards and servants to attack the mansion of Marquis Zhenxi.

After they entered the mansion, the door was closed and the people in the mansion kept their mouths shut. No one knew how the mansion negotiated with the palace.

The people who came to watch the fun stayed outside the gate of the Zhenxi Marquis' Mansion and waited for a long time before the door was opened.

Prince Shun walked out proudly, accompanied by Zhenxi Hou Xiu Yuancang and his eldest son Xiu Lingce, who accompanied him respectfully, nodding and bowing constantly and apologizing.

Everyone saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh:

"Zhenxi Hou, what a cold-hearted man he is. He was forced to smile at others because of his daughter."

“Forget it then, when have you ever seen Young Master Xiu sitting in a wheelchair, you almost kneel down to him.

He is the leader of the four young masters, such a gentle and elegant man, but for his sister, ah. "

Suddenly, word spread that Xiu Luoran, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi, was incompetent at everything and always caused trouble, causing her father and brother to apologize everywhere.

It is said that three days later, the little princess Yi Kexin came back and saw that the lotus flowers and lotus leaves were gone. She made a big fuss and wanted to go to Xiu Luoran to settle the score. Prince Shun had a lot of trouble to calm her down.

Yi Kexin said that if she met Xiu Luoran again, she would definitely give her a hard time.

The onlookers are really looking forward to the meeting of the two women.

What outsiders don’t know is that the lotus flowers and lotus leaves that were brought back to the Marquis’ Mansion were washed by Xiu Luoran and used to make wine.

That night, she also asked her third brother Xiu Lingqun to buy several carts of grain to make wine.

Flower wine has a low alcohol content and is perfect for women to drink.

Wine brewed from grains is relatively strong and is suitable for men, especially those with a military background like Xiu Yuancang.

Xiu Luoran also took this opportunity to brew a lot of medicinal wine for future use.

……

In the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, in Xiu Yuancang's room.

Xiu Luoran said to Xiu Yuancang:

"Dad, do you think now is the time?"

Xiu Yuancang looked at Xiu Lingce, and Xiu Lingce said:

"We have completed all the preparations. We just need to follow Luo Luo's arrangements. It's time to end it."

Xiu Yuancang nodded: "Okay."

That day, Xiu Yuancang brought his four sons and one daughter to the west wing to look for Xiu Yuanshan, and happened to see the five members of the family having dinner.

Xiu Yuanshan had two concubines and two concubines. Gong would not allow them to sit at the table during meals and made them cook in their own courtyards.

Seeing their brother and nephews and nieces coming, Xiu Yuanshan and Xiu Lingqi were very happy:

"Brother (uncle), you are here, please sit down."

Gong looked at her two daughters. She felt that something was wrong and that something bad was going to happen to her.

She secretly gave a look to the old woman beside her, and the old woman was about to leave.

Xiu Luoran said, "Everyone, don't move. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. Third brother!"

Xiu Lingqun just waved his hand and many people rushed in, driving all the servants in the main courtyard of the west wing into an empty room and guarded them.

Gong immediately refused to do it:

"What are you doing? Searching the house?"

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Second Aunt is right, it's about the same."

Xiu Yuanshan looked at his elder brother, and Xiu Yuancang nodded to him:

"Just watch."

Xiu Luoran said to Xiu Yuanshan:

"Second Uncle, we are here today to take back the stewardship of the inner house.

Originally, this was just a small matter, and it only took a few words to resolve. Now that it has become like this, there is nothing we can do.”

Gong shouted, "Who do you think is willing to manage this broken family? Don't you just want me to manage the family anymore? I'll just hand over the account book."

Xiu Luoran nodded: "The account book must be handed in, don't worry, Second Aunt, I have something to ask you."

"Uncle and aunt, does your family have any other income besides the salary of my uncle and cousin?"

Xiu Yuanshan and his son probably knew why Xiu Yuancang and the others came, and they all looked at Gong.

Gong had no choice but to answer honestly:

"No."

Because this cannot be faked.

Xiu Luoran nodded: "That's good, I'll remember your words. Third brother, please invite Mother Cheng over."

When they heard that Cheng Mama was going to be invited, Gong, the maids around her, and the Xiu Yiran sisters all changed their expressions.

Only Xiu Yuanshan and his son looked confused.

Mother Cheng came soon. She had finally waited for this day.

Mother Cheng was the dowry of Xiu Luoran’s mother Zhang Meishu.

Xiu Luoran said: "Mother Cheng, tell me about your story."

"it is good."

Mother Cheng came to Xiu Yuancang, bowed, and then said:

"After I followed the young lady to marry here, I have been in charge of her dowry.

After the young lady passed away, I fell seriously ill and was bedridden.

I thought I was not going to get better, so I handed over the management of my dowry to Mother Lu and went back to my hometown to recuperate.

I thought at the time that if I couldn’t take good care of him, he would die at home, so as to avoid causing trouble to the family.

Who knew that God would have mercy on me, my illness would be cured, and I would come back.

As soon as I came back, I found something was wrong. Mother Lu didn't want me to take over Miss Guan's dowry anymore. I asked her twice, but she evaded the question both times.

Later, I was with her and..."

Mother Cheng glanced at Gong and continued:

“I was framed, the evidence was irrefutable and I had no way to defend myself, so I was driven back to my hometown.

I wanted to find the Marquis and the eldest son and tell them that I was wronged, but they were not at home. "

Xiu Luoran shouted, "Call Mother Lu."

Xiu Lingqun reached out and pulled over a maidservant next to Gong.

Xiu Luoran asked, "Are you Mother Lu?"

Mother Lu looked at it for a long time. She knew that this matter might not end well today. She wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Xiu Luoran stopped her:

"Do you have anything to say?"

"This old slave... has nothing to say."

"Third brother, take people to Mother Lu's residence and move all the valuables here."

"it is good."

Xiu Lingqun took a lot of people with him and came back soon.

There were seven or eight big boxes, all filled to the brim.

When she saw her belongings being moved out, Mother Lu’s face turned pale.

Xiu Luoran: "Pour out everything in the box."

As soon as the things were poured out, Cheng's mother screamed:

“Oh my god, many of the things here are the young lady’s dowry.

Mother Lu, is this how you manage the young lady's dowry? You put it all in your own box?

I remember clearly that when you followed the young lady to marry into the Marquis's mansion, you only brought a small bag and a dozen taels of silver."

Xiu Luoran waved his hand and asked people to pack up the things:

“Uncle, my second aunt is the head of the family. Although this dowry belongs to my mother and Mother Lu is my mother’s dowry, would Mother Lu dare to be so greedy without the tacit consent of my second aunt?

If Second Aunt doesn't get some benefits, will she agree?"

Gong shouted, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Don't worry, Auntie. How dare I accuse you without evidence? Uncle is sitting here.

I say again, no one is allowed to move. Guards, if anyone dares to move, I will beat them to death. "

"Yes."

"Second Aunt, please hand over the public account books of the inner house over the past few years!"

The expenses of the male masters in the front yard of Xiu's family were kept by an accountant. After Zhang's death, the expenses of the female masters in the back house had been managed by Gong.

Gong didn't want to take it, but under Xiu Yuanshan's sharp gaze, she had to ask Mother He to take out the account book, a thick stack.

Xiu Luoran took the account book and flipped through it roughly:

"This is the expenditure of the inner house of our mansion over the past fifteen years. Let me calculate it."

Xiu Luoran said, and took out a small abacus from somewhere, and started to shuffle it around, then she laughed:

"Second Aunt, you are so generous. In the past fifteen years, you have spent 1.3 or 400,000 taels on paper alone.

That is to say, about 100,000 taels were spent every year.

Is this the inner house account book? I have been away from home for the past fifteen years, and only Aunt Hong can be considered as a half-mistress in my family. May I ask, Second Aunt, where did you spend the nearly 100,000 taels of silver this year?"
