Chapter 253, the same month's account book of the same family
"Eldest sister is fine, nothing happened." Yu Xi smiled tenderly, a hint of tranquility slipped through her watery eyes, and asked curiously, "Where did Madam hear that something happened to eldest sister?"
"It's good if nothing happens, it's good if nothing happens." Ms. Qin laughed twice and was about to leave.
It was extremely rude of her to ask this question just now, because she was afraid that her son would not like it after hearing it, which meant that the girl in front of her was still young and did not understand well.
How could it be okay? How could it be okay?
Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed, and when she saw Mrs. Qin taking a step forward, she suddenly said: "Madam, someone framed my eldest sister today."
"How's it going?" Qin's steps suddenly stopped and she turned around and asked.
"It's nothing. Evil people will be punished by evil people. My eldest sister is auspicious and there is nothing wrong with her." Yu Xi smiled softly and stepped aside to get out of the way. She looked very respectful and said, "Madam, please.
"
Mrs. Qin suddenly didn't want to leave in a hurry, so she peeked at her son, who was still talking to the boy and would not notice her for a while.
"I heard that Miss Yu is from the south of the Yangtze River and must be proficient in embroidery. Can you help me see how this embroidery looks like?" Mrs. Qin pulled off a sachet hanging from her waist and said with a smile.
As he spoke, he pointed to the corridor on the side, indicating that he should go to the corridor to speak, and he had already raised his legs to go there.
Even if Yu Xijiao wanted to refuse, it was too late. Looking at Qin's back, Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and followed with Mingyue.
Xu Cheng and the boy were behind him. When he saw his mother taking Miss Yu San over, he did not follow her and just waited for Qin's return.
When they arrived at the corridor, Mrs. Qin handed the sachet into Yu Xijiao's hand, and Yu Xijiao reached out to take it and examine it carefully.
"Miss Yu San, who framed your eldest sister? This matter is not trivial. People who do such disgusting things cannot be let go casually." Mrs. Qin saw that Yu Xijiao's attention was focused on the sachet, turning it over and over.
He looked at the sachet and whispered in a low voice.
"That family will not end well. The eldest sister is the eldest daughter in our family. Not only her father likes her, but her grandmother also likes her." Yu Xijiao looked at the sachet and said casually.
"Didn't you say that your grandmother doesn't approve of your eldest sister?" Qin said in surprise.
"Who said that?" Yu Xi's delicate and beautiful face showed a bit of anger, and she raised a pair of clear and moist eyes, "Madam, did someone from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion say this?"
This statement shocked Qin Shi, and she said in a confused voice, "This... I can't even remember which one it is."
"Madam, is it said outside that grandma doesn't like my father?" Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"There is such a saying." Mrs. Qin said awkwardly. It was Yu Ruiwen who said this, but when it came to this, she should not and could not do it.
"Even if there is such a saying, it should belong to the father or the father, as long as the grandmother recognizes the father as her son." Yu Xijiao said disapprovingly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, which made people feel that her appearance was pure and well-behaved.
.
She looked very harmless, she was just a girl who had just returned from the south of the Yangtze River, a well-behaved, pure and innocent girl.
But these words shocked Qin's heart, and she suddenly felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was rising.
As long as Marquis Xuanping recognized it, as long as An and Princess Dachang recognized it, the rumors said by others didn't matter. Besides, only Qian had said such things, and she had never heard anyone else say it.
"The eldest sister is my father's daughter and my grandmother's granddaughter. No matter who bullies the eldest sister in the future, he will hit his father and grandmother in the face." Yu Xijiao continued to smile, as if she didn't know that her words made the wife of General Jingyuan in front of her look angry.
Change.
Slap An and the eldest princess in the face? Qin felt that she was not that capable.
"Thank you Miss Yu San, I have something else to do... I'll give this sachet to Miss Yu San." Mrs. Qin said, she couldn't take care of Miss Yu in front of her at this moment. She had to think about it and take care of it.
.
After saying that, he led the people down the corridor and walked out. Xu Cheng cupped his hands at Yu Xijiao in the corridor and strode away after Qin.
Yu Xijiao watched Mrs. Qin leave with a slight smile on her face, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.
After Mrs. Qin left, Yu Xijiao walked along the corridor to the study. When she arrived at the door, she saw Yu Ruiwen coming angrily. She quickly stood up and bowed to Yu Ruiwen sideways: "Father!"
Yu Ruiwen's face was filled with anger and he was about to go find Mr. Qian again when he suddenly saw his little daughter coming over. He stopped in his tracks, calmed down and asked, "What's wrong with Jiao'er?"
"Father, we have some clues about what happened in eldest sister's shop." Yu Xi said softly.
Yu Ruiwen didn't remember what happened for a moment. After a pause, he remembered what happened at Xiuzhuang and asked, "What's going on?"
"Father, it's a long story..."
"Let's talk first." Yu Ruiwen turned around and entered the study again, sitting down behind the desk in the middle.
"Father, look." Yu Xijiao reached out and took the two account books from Mingyue's hand and handed them to Yu Ruiwen.
Yu Ruiwen took it, picked up one and flipped through it, but didn't understand it. Then he picked up another one and flipped through it, but didn't understand it either. He was about to put it down when he suddenly realized something and flipped through the two books together.
, spread out on the desk.
His hand quickly turned to the page he just saw, and then he also turned to another book. When he saw the page he needed, he was stunned.
After reading it carefully, he raised his eyes and looked at his little daughter carefully. Yu Xijiao's eyes were as clear as water. Yu Ruiwen closed the two ledgers again, looked at the notes in the corner, and his expression changed drastically: "We are from the same family.
One month’s ledger?”
"Yes, father." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Did you make a false account?" Although Yu Ruiwen was not very responsible, he could still understand this kind of thing. He understood immediately and a stern look flashed on his face.
"One is placed in front of the counter. It is the account book that the eldest sister's shop has been losing money. After excluding the profit of the shop, the small profits are all given to those former 'old people'. Therefore, it seems that the eldest sister's previous decisions are many.
No, several good stores did suffer from the decision made by the eldest sister." Yu Xijiao pointed at the book on the left.
This is the one that was handed over to the government, and Yu Zhuqing was occasionally asked to listen to it during previous reconciliations.
The existence of this account book reminds Yu Zhuqing how reckless she is in doing things. She has no business acumen at all and is completely emotional. The losses in each shop are all caused by her.
"This one was found by Aunt Li from Xiuzhuang." Yu Xijiao pointed to another book on the right.
"Who did you find it from and how did you get it?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
"Father, the daughter of the deputy shopkeeper named Ning last time asked Aunt Li from Xiuzhuang to pay close attention to him. These are two account books secretly obtained from him. Later, she saw him having contact with Ning Qing."
Yu Ruiwen calmly compared the two account books again. They were indeed from a shop. The font in the account books could be seen to be written by one person.
If you look carefully at the latter book, you will see that there are quite a lot of profits in it. There are not so many "elderly people" to take care of them, that is, there are just a few more people here and there. It doesn't cost much, but the profits are even greater.
"Good... what a Qian family, what a Ning family." Yu Ruiwen was furious and slammed the table hard. The cause and effect, what he heard before and what he thought of now, all were connected together. Qian family and Ning family,
Through the Ning family, they colluded with each other to plan the eldest daughter's shop.
No wonder the eldest daughter's marriage has not been decided yet, and the store affairs are not yet complete.
No wonder Ning Qing had behaved well in front of him before. It turned out that he had been plotting against his eldest daughter for a long time. As long as the eldest daughter married into the Ning Mansion, the Ning Mansion would not have the final say.
"Father, my daughter doesn't dare to make the decision in this matter, so please let me make a decision." Yu Xi said softly, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, "I'm afraid these shops owned by eldest sister, even this embroidery shop, are not under eldest sister's name now.
Well, before the eldest sister went to the nunnery, my wife asked the eldest sister to take all the house deeds and land deeds."
The thing has been put into the tiger's mouth. Yu Xijiao doesn't believe that Qian didn't take action. It seems that Jinyixiu Village has not changed hands yet. It's just that Qian is afraid that her father will find out, so she slows down her actions.
"Check!" Veins popped out in Yu Ruiwen's hands.
"Father, this shopkeeper Ning is probably the key now. I just don't know where all these land deeds and house deeds have gone. If they have passed to a few people's hands, it's really hard to find out whose hands they fall into.
"Yu Xi said uneasily.
Yu Ruiwen nodded, with a sneer on his face. He suppressed the anger in his heart and told Yu Xijiao: "Jiaoer, you go back first. Just now, General Jingyuan came to propose marriage. Let your eldest sister prepare. In a few days, Jingyuan will
The General's Office will officially come to your door."
"The person just now is General Jingyuan's wife?" Yu Xijiao said in surprise.
"Yes, that was it just now." Yu Ruiwen nodded. The matter about his eldest daughter was finally settled, and a stone in his heart was relieved.
"But...Father..." Yu Xijiao was happy at first, then frowned, looking more and more uneasy.
"What, what's the trouble?" Yu Ruiwen asked.
"Father, General Jingyuan has come to propose marriage. Who in our house will receive the matchmaker?" Yu Xijiao bit her lip, extremely uneasy, "Are we still going to trouble Mrs. Qian like this time?"
Mentioning what happened this time, Yu Ruiwen's chest felt tight again. His eldest daughter almost had an accident. It was not because he didn't have a suitable mistress in his house, so he had to hire Mrs. Qian. Mrs. Qian was old.
He is old and lacks mental strength, so he has no energy to take good care of his daughter.
"Let Aunt Zhou receive you." Yu Ruiwen said.
Yu Xijiao opened her eyes wide in astonishment: "Father, Aunt Zhou is very nice and gentle. The housekeeper has done a good job these days, but if you let me receive the matchmaker, will you look down on your eldest sister? I just listened to Jing
General Yuan’s wife said that this means that our family does not treat the eldest sister as a serious daughter-in-law."
"What did General Jingyuan's wife say just now?" Yu Ruiwen asked back. He had vaguely thought that it meant this before. Needless to say, it was Qian who hinted at it, and the anger that had been suppressed just now rushed up.
"General Jingyuan's wife went out, and her daughter was outside the door. The general's wife took her daughter to look at the embroidery, but what she asked was about the eldest sister. She also asked if anything happened to the eldest sister today. The daughter deliberately deceived her and asked if she was Ning.
What did the madam say to her? The general's wife missed the topic again." Yu Xijiao took out the sachet from her sleeve and shook it in front of Yu Ruiwen as proof!
