The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Tilting his head to look at Rong Jingshu, Xie Zhao's eyes were cold and sparkling.

"Mother, did you see that?"

"The eldest sister admitted it."

"The five thousand taels of silver that Fifth Brother took from the treasury were given to Eldest Sister."

"Look at how self-righteous she is. If we give her five thousand taels of silver, it will all be hers. What does elder sister think of our house?"

"If everything is like this, won't it be a mess?"

"Mother, my fifth brother and eldest sister are both like this. Do you think I can also go to the treasury and bring five thousand taels of silver to my courtyard tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Jin Tiantian suddenly realized what was going on.

They brought her here to question her.

Oh, this is really interesting. From the tone of her voice, I have no idea why the five thousand taels of silver would be given to her?

Maybe she thought that these five thousand taels of silver were given to her for free by Xie Xiu from his house?

What a bunch of idiots!

Before Jin Tiantian could explain the purpose of the five thousand taels of silver, Rong Jingshu spoke with a sigh.

"Tiantian, I know you have never lived in the mansion and have suffered a lot of grievances outside since you were a child. It is only right that your family compensates you."

"Whether it's your father or your brother, they favor you, and everyone can understand that."

"If I gave you fifty or a hundred taels of silver, I wouldn't say anything."

"But these five thousand taels of silver are a huge sum. They are related to the livelihood of the 100,000 elite soldiers in the suburbs."

"The military pay for the 100,000 elite soldiers in the suburbs all comes from our government's treasury."

"Although your fifth brother has been doing business for many years, he has both income and expenditure and has the power to freely use the treasury."

"But taking five thousand taels of silver from you in one go is really too much."

"I am in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, so I cannot be unfair. After all, you are not the only eldest daughter in the mansion. You also have two younger sisters, right?"

"I'm sending you five thousand taels of silver all at once. What do you think your two sisters will think?"

"If you are short of money, you can tell your mother and she can help you out. But what do you, a child, need such a huge sum of money for? You live in the imperial city, eat at home, spend at home, do you really need another 5,000 taels of silver?"

Jin Tiantian's face suddenly turned cold.

"Bullshit, I don't live in the mansion, I don't use the mansion, I use my own money for all my food, clothing and other expenses."

"When have I ever used the household funds?"

Xie Zhao got angry on the spot and retorted.

"The house you live in in the suburbs was found by Sixth Brother."

Jin sneered.

"It's true that he found the house, but I rented it with my own money."

Xie Zhao argued confidently and eloquently.

"Where do you get the money from, you poor country girl?"

"Oh, isn't it because of my brothers and father?"

"If your father and brothers don't give you money, will you have money to spend?"

"I've heard about how you spend your money."

"When you had your picnic, the food and drinks you prepared were all the most fashionable snacks in the Imperial City. Your picnic probably cost you at least a thousand taels of silver. You have become famous in the Imperial City."

"Which daughter in our imperial city is as good as you? Buying those expensive things is as easy as buying cabbage buns."

"All those noble men and women witnessed it with their own eyes by the lake in the suburbs."

"Those fashionable snacks are very expensive. Just buying them will easily cost you a hundred or more taels of silver. How can you afford to buy them?"

"You, on the other hand, not only have the money to buy them, but you also bought a lot of them extravagantly, took them to the lakeside for a picnic, set up a table, and ate, drank and had fun with those servants in an extravagant manner."

"Didn't you spend all the money your father and brothers gave you?"

"All the money is gone, and you're trying to get money from Brother Five."

"This time, he was so greedy that he took five thousand taels of silver from Fifth Brother."

"You probably don't know yet, but this five thousand taels of silver was taken from the treasury by Fifth Brother. It was the treasury of the mansion, not his private treasury!"

"This is all our money, the family's money. Why would Fifth Brother give it to you?"

Xie Zheng stepped into the courtyard and heard Xie Zhao's loud voice from a long distance away before he even entered the front hall. He couldn't help but frowned and walked quickly into the front hall.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Zhao'er, you are yelling at your elder sister. How can you be so disrespectful?"

"Why can't you just talk quietly? You have to yell. I can hear your loud voice from outside!"

As soon as Xie Zheng entered the room, he glared at him with dissatisfaction, his tiger eyes full of displeasure.

"What's going on? Jingshu, is there something that requires you to call me back?"

"I'm training the troops here."

Rong Jingshu looked embarrassed.

"It's not all Tiantian's fault, it was all Laowu who played along with her."

"General, Lao Wu came back today. As soon as he entered the mansion, he ran to the storehouse to get five thousand taels of silver and carried it to Tiantian's yard in Jiaoye."

"Isn't it because of this that everyone is making a fuss here?"

"My sister insisted on inviting Tiantian over and making things clear."

Xie Zheng naturally didn't know about the five thousand taels of silver.

The family's tobacco business was left to Xie Xiu to manage.

He hardly ever asked about tobacco.

Xie Xiu can make the decision on his own and will not specifically inform Xie Zheng about this.

Whenever money is needed in business, the treasury in the mansion would naturally be used.

After hearing Rong Jingshu's explanation in a few words, Xie Zheng was also confused.

"What? Lao Wu used five thousand taels of silver from the treasury to give to Tiantian?"

Then he shook his head, obviously not believing that Xie Xiu would do such a thing as using public power for personal gain.

"Impossible, Lao Wu is not the kind of person who would act so recklessly."

"How could he possibly use the five thousand taels of silver from the treasury to give to Tiantian? If he wants to use it, he has to use his own private treasury."

"You must have misunderstood this matter. Since Lao Wu moved the treasury, it must be a business matter."

"Anyone who touches the treasury silver is recorded in the accounts. Why are you women meddling in this?"

"If there really is a problem, it will be revealed in the future reconciliation."

Xie Zhao's eyes turned red with anger and tears streamed down his face.

"Dad, ever since my eldest sister came into the mansion, you've always favored her."

"No matter what mistakes she made or what disasters she got into, you always stood by her."

"This matter is already clear and established. Everyone knows that the silver was indeed carried into the courtyard of my eldest sister in the suburbs. How can this be faked?"

"If you don't believe me, ask the butler!"

"And my eldest sister, she just admitted it herself here. The five thousand taels of silver were carried to her courtyard."
