"My princess looked at these entries and there was nothing wrong with them at first glance, but when she really counted them, she found that a lot of money was missing!"
Jiang Shuer was stunned for a moment, looked at Sheng Niannian in disbelief, and panicked for a moment.
After she came to her senses, she immediately said aggrievedly, "Shu'er doesn't understand what you mean, Princess."
"Shu'er only knows how to do his best to complete every account. How come when he comes to your place, Princess, he turns into tampering, and everything is fine, but there is a missing sum of money somewhere?"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Butler Li. During this period, Butler Li helped Shu'er with the accounts..."
Impossible, Sheng Niannian is so stupid, what problem can he see?!
This woman must be trying to deceive her!
Butler Li's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that Sheng Niannian would suddenly get angry, so he quickly stepped forward to pick up the account book and take a look at it.
"Princess, Concubine Jiang is right. During this time, I have often gone to help her reconcile her accounts. May I ask what is wrong with this account book?"
Jiang Shu'er has already pushed him out. If he doesn't help him fight for it, if something really goes wrong, Jiang Shu'er will probably beat him up.
At that time, he couldn't bear this responsibility!
Wan Xue and Pan Yue looked puzzled, neither knowing what Sheng Niannian had discovered.
But Wan Xue understands that the master never fights an unprepared battle. Seeing that the master is so powerful now, he must be well prepared!
As for Panyue, although she and Sheng Niannian have not been together for a short time, she has gradually figured out Sheng Niannian's temperament and knows that she is definitely not the kind of person who lies.
To be able to accuse Jiang Shuer so sharply, he must have found evidence.
Sheng Niannian hugged her arms and stared at Jiang Shu'er condescendingly, "Steward Li, this matter is not your fault. I also know that you have a lot of things to do on weekdays. Even if you really want to help the concubine reconcile the accounts, I'm afraid it's just a cursory glance. It's nothing.
It’s a big problem, so just leave, right?”
Seeing that Sheng Niannian was looking for a step for him, Butler Li hurriedly got off. No matter how ugly Jiang Shuer's face was, he said, "What the princess said is absolutely true."
"Although the old slave helped Concubine Jiang to check the account book, most of the time, he just went through it briefly without going into details."
Seeing Butler Li's cooperation, Sheng Niannian's cold smile became more obvious, and her eyes were like knives gouging out towards Jiang Shu'er.
"That's right. After all, the Concubine Jiang you are facing is a fox with as many eyes as heaven's."
"I have checked the account books on both tables. There were no problems with the previous accounts. However, since Jiang Shuer took over the accounts, I have discovered that many things are not accurate at all in detail."
"Half a month ago, the palace received 800,000 taels of silver. The inventory in the palace should be more than 7.2 million taels."
"But in all the recent accounts, the total expenditure was only 250,000 taels. After calculation, there should be 6.95 million taels of silver left. But in the end, there were only 6.4 million taels left.
Two."
"Looking at these detailed little accounts, there are at least thousands of them in total, but every one of them has been manipulated by you. Either there are a few extra taels or dozens of taels on purpose, or they have been misappropriated in some places.
part of the funds.”
"Jiang Shu'er, did those 800,000 taels grow wings and fly, or were they stolen by you? I've been running out of tricks these days. Can your brain handle it?"
Butler Li was horrified, his eyes full of shock and surprise. He quickly looked at Jiang Shuer and said, "Concubine Jiang, how could you..."
Sheng Niannian stood up and approached Jiang Shuer step by step. The cold and frightening look on his face made people feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
"It seems that Butler Li is not happy about all this."
"Tell me, Jiang Shuer, what exactly did you do with those eight hundred thousand taels of silver!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the study room.
Although Wan Xue guessed that something big might happen, she really didn't expect that Jiang Shuer would actually embezzle the money!
Sure enough, he is not a good bird. He just bullies his master in different ways. How long has it been since he took over the stewardship? How dare he take action on the palace's accounts!
Panyue couldn't help being shocked and stunned!
How dare Concubine Jiang line her own pockets?
Even if the amount is small, forget it, but this is 800,000 taels of silver, enough for countless ordinary people to live a luxurious life!
Concubine Jiang doesn’t know what this concept is, and why did she take so much money behind the prince’s back?!
Isn't she afraid that the prince will take heavy responsibility from her if he finds out?
Jiang Shuer suddenly panicked, and her eyes that gradually widened could not hide her astonishment.
She never thought that Sheng Niannian could reconcile all the accounts just by relying on mental arithmetic!
You know, in order to prevent others from finding out the clues, she and Bilian always used notebooks to calculate. Sometimes they made a mistake and had to start from scratch. However, it took a lot of effort to handle it so perfectly.
!
Facing those hateful eyes, Jiang Shuer couldn't help but feel uneasy. She had underestimated Sheng Niannian after all.
But now, she can't admit it. If she admits it, how will the prince look at her!
"Princess, Shu'er, Shu'er really doesn't know."
"How dare Shu'er embezzle eight hundred thousand taels of silver? Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
Bilian was even more panicked, but the most urgent task was to help her concubine get rid of the suspicion.
She hurriedly protected Jiang Shu'er, frowning and pretending to be indignant, "Princess, what do you mean? You are talking without proof. Based on the records in the account book, can you hold the concubine accountable?"
"Besides, account books are obscure and difficult to understand. Now you don't talk about abacus. You don't even use comparison. You just keep saying there is a problem. Isn't it true that you made a mistake in your calculations?"
Sheng Niannian was not used to it at all, so she stepped forward and slapped her twice, then kicked Bilian hard, knocking Bilian to the ground.
"It seems that you are really ignorant. My maid has warned you many times, but you still bark like a dog, right? You really think I am so patient. I would really be sorry for myself if I don't beat you!"
Bi Lian was beaten so hard that she screamed and hurt so much that her heart began to beat with fear, her palms were sweating, and there was no room for more words.
Although Jiang Shuer felt strong uneasiness in her heart, she was accustomed to hiding her emotions. She never showed any obvious guilt on her face, but kept thinking about countermeasures in her mind.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely condensed for a while, and everyone was afraid to express their anger.
But at this moment, Butler Li's voice suddenly sounded in surprise, "Your Majesty? Why are you here?!"
