Chapter 121: Settlement of accounts

Chun'er took the money and got off the carriage, and Yue Ya took the purchased goods to several branches of the Yue family.

Among them, Zhang Yun, the shopkeeper of the largest embroidery shop, was very unwelcome when he saw Yue Ya. He went to greet the customers and pretended not to see Yue Ya. When the waiter saw that the shopkeeper was impatient, he also pretended not to see it and continued to cut clothes.

.

Yue Ya walked over with Yi'er in hand, and then said softly: "Yi'er, go pick out a few sets of clothes. My godmother is hosting today and will buy a few more for you."

Yi'er knew what Yue Ya wanted to do, so he cooperated: "Okay godmother, then I will give you five sets. Anyway, Yue Mansion will pay for it."

"Yes, go ahead!"

Yue Ya smiled, looked at Zhang Yun with satisfaction and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, how is business going lately?"

Zhang Yun couldn't pretend to be called by his name, so he had to laugh and said: "It turns out that Miss Yue Ya is here. Business has been good recently."

"That's good. I would also like to ask shopkeeper Zhang to buy some sets of clothes for my son. Yi'er can come over quickly and let shopkeeper Zhang measure his height."

"Okay, godmother."

The little guy ran over, still holding two pieces of fine cloth, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I want to use this fine Hangzhou cloth to make five sets."

Zhang Yun looked at Yue Ya who was wearing plain clothes and looked very shabby. Her face turned cold and her smile froze. She smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yue Ya, the fabrics this child chooses are all our best fabrics. If this is the case,

It costs a lot of silver to make five sets. You also know the master’s rules. Even if the master makes the clothes, you have to pay.”

"Of course you have to pay. Just make an order and go to my father to get the money."

"That's not okay. Everyone knows that the master has severed ties with you. If you take the clothes, I won't be able to get the money and I will have to pay for it myself."

Yue Ya sneered and looked at Zhang Yun with raised eyebrows, "So Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't plan to do it."

“It’s impossible to make money if you don’t have enough clothes.”

"How outrageous!" Yue Ya was furious and his momentum dropped sharply. Even the ladies who were looking at the fabrics in the store were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. "Zhang Yun, you are so brave. When our Gong family saw you begging for help, we had no way out.

, my wife and daughter are about to starve to death. It was my grandfather who took in your family of three and allowed you to make a living in our embroidery village, so you have such a good life. Now my grandfather and mother's bones are still cold, and you are so ungrateful that you have killed them dearest.

Your granddaughter is looked down upon, but do you know what Yuezhong, whom you are loyal to, has done?"

Zhang Yun was shocked by Yue Ya's momentum and was speechless for a long time.

"My maternal grandfather had an accident, and Yue Zhong, who was behind him, seized the Gong family's property and changed the palace into Yue's mansion. Even before my mother could get over the pain of losing her father, Yue Zhong brought back his wife and son. He deceived

My mother, who caused her to die of depression, is the person you want to be loyal to."

"Miss Yue Ya, Mr. Gong and Miss Gong are really very kind to me. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be trapped here all my life, so I would guard his shop for your grandfather. You said this to me, I am really unjust.

"

"Unjustly?" Yue Ya pressed forward step by step, speaking sternly, "If you hadn't brought all the major chambers of commerce to pledge allegiance to Yue Zhong, how could our Gong family's property have become Yue's surname so quickly? Zhang Yun had known you were such a person.

, my grandfather should not have saved you in the first place, and he would not have ended up like this."

Zhang Yun's face was dripping with cold sweat, and his eyes were red, "Master Gong died inexplicably. It was your father who supported this stall, and I was just following orders."

"The purpose of obeying orders is to transfer the property of my palace family to the outsider, or even to the illegitimate child? If you didn't receive the benefits from Yue Zhong, how could you convince all the chambers of commerce for him?"

Zhang Yun's face turned red and he was extremely embarrassed. He had indeed done something stupid for the money and had forgotten his original intention. Now that he had been exposed among others, he felt ashamed.

Mr. Gong, Miss Gong's kindness to me really cannot be measured by money, it's because he is so worthless.

"What the young lady is saying is that I am indeed a bastard. If I hadn't encouraged the major chambers of commerce to do things for your father for that little money, the Gong family would not have changed its dynasty. When you didn't fight for it, Miss Yue Ya, I just wanted to find a backer.

That’s why I made the wrong choice.”

"Now that Miss Yue Ya has woken me up, I feel ashamed. If there is still a way to make amends, I am willing to be loyal to Miss Yue Ya and help Miss Yue Ya get back the things that belong to your palace family."

Yue Ya breathed a sigh of relief and managed to deal with Zhang Yun. As the leader of the largest chamber of commerce, he also managed the largest store of the Yue family, so other small chambers of commerce would be easy to handle.

"Zhang Yun's good words are not just words. If Yue Zhong hadn't bullied others too much, I wouldn't have wanted to get back what belongs to me. After all, Yue Zhong is just a wife, and I am a member of the palace family."

"Miss is right. I will call the leaders of the major chambers of commerce to discuss it. From now on, only Miss's orders will be followed."

"Well! Don't worry, bring me the account book first, and then summon the leaders of the major chambers of commerce to go to Yue Mansion with the account book."

Zhang Yun said respectfully: "Okay, miss."

Finally, Zhang Yun ordered his servants to go to the major chambers of commerce and get the account books himself.

Yue Ya looked through it, his expression getting darker and darker, "Zhang Yun, why is there a gap missing here for no reason? Where did the money go? About five hundred taels."

Zhang Yun paused and stopped talking.

"Zhang Yun, if you don't tell the truth, don't talk nonsense just now."

Zhang Yun immediately said, "Miss, this is a small gap. Since there were many gaps that month, in order to settle the accounts, I gathered them together and made it this big one."

"This money was taken away by Mrs. Mei. I heard it was to support distant relatives."

"Which distant relative?"

Yue Ya only knew that Aunt Mei had distant relatives, but she didn't know that she had to rely on her own family's money to support her, which was quite a lot.

"That's the man called Second Uncle."

Yue Ya's eyes turned cold, and he ordered Zhang Yun to get a pen and paper, "Write down these gaps, and write down clearly the incoming and outgoing of each sum, and I will get them back one by one."

"Yes," Zhang Yun now has respect for Yue Ya. He feels that Miss Yue Ya is careful in settling accounts, clear and well-founded in her work, which is several times better than Mrs. Mei.

After recording everything one by one, Yue Ya told Zhang Yun to follow her to Yue Mansion with the account book in hand.

The Yue family was in chaos at the moment. Chun'er found ten beggars and asked them to dress up and look presentable. They broke into the Yue Mansion directly and began to take off the red silk of the Yue Mansion and dress it up with white silk. The red candles turned into white candles.

, even the red lanterns have been replaced by white lanterns.

Those who didn't know thought that the Yue Mansion was holding a funeral.

The people outside the gate couldn't help but curiously poked their heads when they saw the white lanterns and the word "Dian" at the gate.

"Is there any funeral in Yue Mansion?"

"I don't know! Could it be that the master of the Yue family has died and there is a funeral."

"No! I saw Mr. Yue this morning. His steps were steady and strong. He just lost one hand and it was not fatal."

"Then how do you explain this white cloth?"
