Liu Yuan was always a good dancer, but she had deliberately hidden her wings these years and actively socialized when the real occasion came. This made many people who despised her secretly wonder, but they did not expect that this concubine who was born in a merchant family was actually better than Zheng.

The room is more atmospheric.

Tang Hongying's arrogance has made her whole body full of thorns. When she is dealing with other officials and wives outside, she always has a feeling of being superior, and her arrogance is really unpleasant.

On the other hand, today's concubine behaves well and speaks softly, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

What's more, this person was personally promoted by His Majesty, so no one dared to disrespect Mrs. Liu openly. Although a few ladies who looked down on the merchants made a few slanderous remarks, Mrs. Liu pretended not to hear them, and her aura became even more serious.

Scored quite a few points.

Those ladies who wanted to find trouble secretly were helpless. Mrs. Liu held a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her mouth, and her ability to criticize Sang and Huai was like playing house here. If it weren't for wearing the skin of the imperial wife, she would

One person can tear several.

When Qin Zuohuai arrived, he saw Ms. Liu standing among a group of noble ladies from a high family, chatting and laughing freely, without showing any timidity. She was wearing gorgeous makeup and clothes today, and she was extremely beautiful. I don't know how much better she was than Tang Hongying.

In the past, when Tang Hongying accompanied him to banquets, she and her wife would always end up having a bad time, and the two of them could only leave the banquet in a hurry.

This was the first time he could stay until the end. Qin Zuohuai couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if the Liu family came from a famous family. He strode over and suddenly noticed someone standing not far behind him. He turned around and saw - it was Prince Rui.

Prince Rui was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was extremely wealthy. However, he did not interfere with the affairs of the princes and was quite trusted by Emperor Yuan. Qin Zuohuai rolled his eyes and walked over to salute: "I have seen Prince Rui. I don't know.

When did the prince arrive?"

"I came here uninvited. We are about to break up. Come in and join in the fun." Prince Rui felt a little guilty. It was true that he came in temporarily to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to see Mrs. Liu at a glance. Compared with the princess,

Seeing each other at the mansion, Mrs. Liu is becoming more and more charming today.

This woman has different beauty at different ages. The younger one should be like a flower that has just bloomed in the morning mist, fresh and tender.

Women in their thirties should look like blooming peonies or peonies, which are gorgeous.

Liu Yuan is a typical example of this person who is as beautiful as a peony. She has a kind of natural gentleness in her behavior. But judging from her confrontation with the ladies just now, she also has claws, but they are hidden beautifully.

Prince Rui was distracted for a moment and stared at another woman for a long time. In the end, he was caught by the real owner.

He unfolded the fan in his hand and used it to blow away the residual heat on his face.

"Your Majesty is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is busy with affairs and has some free time today. I wonder if you would be lucky enough to invite Your Majesty to the mansion for a few drinks?"

King Rui's heart was moved. Was he going to doze off and someone handed him a pillow? Although his heart was moved, his mind was still there. No matter what happened, Mrs. Liu was still a member of Taifu Qin. It was a pity that they met too late. He coughed lightly and said:

"I have an appointment with someone else today, why don't we make an appointment next time?"

Qin Zuohuai acted on the spur of the moment, so he didn't feel affected by the rejection. He watched King Rui leave, and when Liu Yuan came over, the two of them were about to leave. Liu Yuan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from behind, but didn't take it to heart.

On the way back, Qin Zuohuai was in a good mood. Liu Yuanfang knew that he was satisfied with his performance today, so he offered him a piece of cake: "My lord is only busy with socializing today, so I must not be full. Let's use one first."

Qin Zuohuai hugged her waist tightly and whispered: "Yuan'er, my husband has been sorry to you all these years."

Husband? What kind of husband? Since ancient times, only the main wife is married to her husband. She is just a concubine and cannot reach a high level!

Liu Yuan sighed lowly: "I know how kind you are to me, sir, so there is something I don't know what to do about."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Qin Zuohuai's heart moved: "Is it a family matter?"

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then took out a piece of paper that had been prepared a long time ago. On it was a copy of some of the accounts of the house, but there was something wrong with the extracted part: "Yesterday, I got the account book and studied it all night.

Many problems were discovered from it.”

"This account was originally managed by Madam. Although I have suspicions, I don't know how to deal with it, so I can only bother you." Liu Yuan pointed to one of the places: "In June of the year before last, I withdrew a sum of one thousand taels of silver.

, the record states that furniture was purchased.”

"I remember this account in detail. I also remember that a batch of new furniture was indeed placed in the house in June of that year, but that batch of furniture was not worth the money. It was only two or three hundred taels, but there were six or seven in the middle.

A hundred taels of loopholes.”

Qin Zuohuai remembered this, and he frowned: "How do you say this?"

"The account records that the furniture was made of golden nanmu, but the furniture in the house was actually made of Huang Xinnan. Either he was deceived when he was a comprador, or someone passed it off as good and made six or seven hundred taels off it.

The benefits of silver."

"The golden ones come out of Sichuan streams, and the wood grain has golden threads. The most beautiful nanmu can form the pattern of figures and landscapes when facing the sun. The wood is hard and corrosion-resistant, cannot be soaked by water, and cannot be burrowed by ants. If it is really a golden nanmu,

It’s worth a thousand taels of silver.”

"But that's Huang Xinnan, it's not worth these taels of silver." Before Qin Zuohuai could speak, Liu Yuan added: "This is not the only time this happened. Sir, please take a look, these are all questionable accounts that I randomly picked out.

.”

She handed over the copied copy, lowered her head, and said helplessly: "I initially screened out more than 20 problematic writings. If I investigate further, I don't know how many more there are. I am really...

……Fear."

Liu Yuan found out that there were more problems than these, but she just thought that she should not use the medicine too hard at the beginning, and she had to leave some room for further development. She looked at Qin Zuohuai's livid face, wisely closed her mouth, and did not speak again.

The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to be stagnant. Why didn't Qin Zuohuai know what this meant?

Either Tang Hongying's supervision is lax and the people below are acting recklessly, or she is also involved. Whether it is the former or the latter, she, Tang Hongying, cannot escape the involvement!

Don't blame Liu Yuan for being so scared. She has long been extremely afraid of Tang Hongying, the head matron, and she is asking him to make the decision.

Liu Yuan knew that her plan could not be hidden from Qin Zuohuai. This person had been able to survive in the officialdom until now, and he was already a smart person. However, although she did not understand the affairs of the court, she did know the affairs of men and women. Men who seek power are nothing more than

For the sake of face.

Great power can give him great face, but this face cannot be refuted, so she sighed.

"Why are you sighing? Do you think this matter can't be settled?" Qin Zuohuai flicked his fingers on his legs a few times and looked at her displeased: "You think I can't support you anymore?"
