Huang Xi lives from me

"lady……"

Even Nanny opened her mouth, wanting to plead with Miss Yansi, but before she could speak, she was frightened away by Mrs. Yan's look.

"You should know that if this matter is known, neither you nor I will live!"

"Yes! Yes!" Nurse Lian hurriedly replied, "Of course I know."

"Tell me that the fourth lady has a demonic disorder, and she is sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate," Mrs. Yan said coldly in Nurse Lian's ear, "Next, you should know what to do, right?"

"Yes, this old servant knows." Lian Nanny replied, the back of her clothes was already soaked in cold sweat.

Mrs. Yan cast a cold glance at Fourth Miss Yan who was being pressed down by the maid, full of disgust.

Fortunately, she still had expectations for this girl, she is really not on the table!

Thinking about it, she patted her sleeves, as if she wanted to pat off the bad luck that Miss Yansi just touched.

After finishing Miss Yansi, Mrs. Yan was summoned by the Crown Princess after she left the Xiulou.

He hurriedly arrived at the courtyard where the crown princess was staying, and saw that Princess Heng Cheng was also waiting for her there.

"Madam, please get up." Su smiled and asked Mrs. Yan, who saluted and greeted her, to get up, still her usual gentleness like a spring breeze.

Madam Yan stood up and asked, "I wonder why His Highness the Crown Princess summoned the courtiers' wives?"

"It's nothing," Su Qian said with a light smile, "It's just that according to the ancestral system, when a noble daughter of the royal family dies early, her dowry, fief, and property will be counted by the female officials in the palace. Generally, the fiefs of mansions will be nationalized, and the dowry and property will be counted by the female officials in the palace. It will be managed by the royal female secretary, and will be handed over to the child after the noble daughter's child grows up. However, His Majesty also gave the fiefdom to the children of Changning's younger sister, so His Royal Highness sent a female official to manage these relics of Princess Changning."

This is to protect the interests of the noble daughters of the clan and prevent the property of the noble daughters from being embezzled by the husband's family or later successors.

These female historians are not servants, they are serious female officials with rank and salary.

After Su Qian finished speaking, a middle-aged woman in a women's official uniform came out and gave Madam Yan a courtesy, "My concubine, Mrs. Lin, has met Mrs. Guogong."

Madam Yan smiled and hurriedly helped her up, "Nv Shi Lin please get up!"

"Mrs. Xie Guogong." Lin Nushi replied respectfully but not humblely.

Su Qian looked at their happy chat, and said with a smile: "I have brought Nvshi Lin here, and then I will hand it over to Madam, and take Nvshi Lin to count the relics of Princess Changning."

"Yes, my wife understands." Mrs. Yan smiled, but her heart was agitated.

Princess Changning's dowry had already been more than half empty, so she hastily added some, hoping that the books would be beautiful enough to cover it up.

Mrs. Yan was about to take Nvshi Lin to look at the account book, when Princess Hengcheng, who had been very quiet today, suddenly asked if the servants brought by Princess Changning were still there.

"Yes, naturally." Mrs. Yan said with a smile, her sleeves were full of cold sweat, "Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo took care of the children, Tao Xi got married in a few months, Tao Yi was the most loyal, and the princess passed away At that time, she and Aunt Shao died for the Lord together."

"Martyrdom?" Princess Hengcheng's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she smiled faintly, "It's a loyal one, I want to reward their family members well."

Su Qian listened to their conversation in the upper seat, sipping tea, but smiled and said nothing.

It seems that Princess Hengcheng is indeed sensitive by nature as Jun Xi said.

This should be... already aware of something!

In the warehouse of the former residence of Princess Changning, Mrs. Yan watched a dozen maids holding account books and abacus, with a clear division of labor, and counting the things in the warehouse in an orderly manner.

Princess Changning's dowry and belongings are expensive, and there are only a dozen piles of ledgers. Madam Yan originally thought that Lin Nvshi would have to check the accounts for at least ten days and a half a month.Even if the Crown Princess and the others are found to return to Beijing, they may not be able to complete the investigation.

But she didn't expect it.Lin Nvshi actually brought a whole team of accountants, and their speed of checking accounts was shockingly fast.

Mrs. Yan looked at Ms. Lin and frowned at the account book, and her heart ached, "Did Miss Lin see something wrong?"

Lin Nushi looked at the ledger and frowned, "On the fifth day of April last year, Princess Changning spent 3 taels of silver to buy a Guanyin for Sending a Child?"

A fake jade statue of Avalokitesvara?At a roadside stall, you can buy better quality ones for ten taels of silver, but Princess Changning actually spent 3 taels? !

"This child is innocent and has been deceived." Mrs. Yan said with a smile. "However, Guanyin Bodhisattva pays attention to sincerity and spirit. After inviting this Bodhisattva, Chang Ning became pregnant immediately, so we didn't pursue it."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Nvshi seemed to suddenly realize, and wrote a sum in the account book, recording the whole story of the money.

Mrs. Yan breathed a sigh of relief seeing Lin Nushi's actions.

After checking the accounts, it turned out that it was night, and when she left, Mrs. Yan looked at the dead peach trees in the yard, and couldn't help but flashed a few bloody images in her mind.

A gust of cold wind blew, Madam Yan shivered and left in a hurry.

On the other side, in the courtyard of the Crown Princess, Lin Nvshi brought her own letter to see the Crown Princess.

Su Qian flipped through the handbook, Jing Sheng and Jun Xi waited eagerly, what a pity!Neither of them can understand such things as ledgers.

"Have you found out what's wrong?" Su Qian asked after handing the letter back to Nv Shi Lin.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the books have been tampered with! But there is no evidence." Lin Nvshi is experienced, she can see the problem, but there is no evidence, and... "These books have been balanced, at least on the books."

"How much is the actual deficit?" This is what Su Qian cares about.

"The concubine is not very sure, but at least it is this number." Lin Nushi made a "two" in her hands.

"2 taels?" Jun Xi asked first.

Lin Nushi shook her head, "20 taels! At least!"

"20 taels?!" Both Jun Xi and Jing Sheng gasped.

A woman's dowry is a woman's private property, and neither her in-law's family nor her husband can move it. If they do, they will be stabbed in the spine. I didn't expect that the Yan family not only moved, but also moved such a large sum!How shameless!

"Do you have evidence?" Jun Xi asked anxiously.

"It can be found, but it will take time." Lin Nvshi replied.

"how long?"

"At least two months."

"Two months?!" Jun Xi exploded, "We will return to Beijing in a few days!"

"But in a few days, my concubine can't do it!" Lin Nushi said helplessly.

"You think of a way!"

"Unless the real ledger is found..."

"If you can find the real account book, Su Qian still needs to go all the way to get you from Her Royal Highness the Queen?"

The two of you came and went and talked fiercely, Jing Sheng's eyes kept falling on Su Qian, seeing Su Qian frowning, she couldn't help worrying, "Ah Qian?"

Su Qian looked at Jing Sheng who was worried about her, smiled, and said, "No evidence is needed."

"No need for evidence?" Jing Sheng repeated Su Qian's words in confusion.

Su Qian nodded, "I don't need any evidence, I will let those people spit out twice as much money as they swallowed."
