Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 66 Clearing the Accounts

Only Princess Song still cares about the early death of the eldest princess, while everyone else has returned to normal.

In just one month since Liu Youyou got married, the layout of the backyard has changed drastically.

As the person in power, Liu Youyou had people trying to figure out her thoughts with just a raised eyebrow or a glance. As a student, Qi Yuebin thought he would be made to pay respects every day. But Liu Youyou knew that she was not in a good position, so she just agreed to reconcile the accounts in five days.

Princess Song chanted sutras in the Buddhist temple all day long. The Fourth Prince kept her company at first, but later he forgot about it.

Guaerjia was confined to Yiran Courtyard and was abused every day, but this time the Guaerjia family had no bargaining chips to save her. Lord Guaerjia could only be thankful that the Fourth Prince saved Guaerjia's life for his sake.

Liu Youyou also received Liuli's reminder, "Ding! The awakening level of the awakener has reached 30%. Comment: This heavy rain is really like the day when Honghui died!"

Liu Youyou's heart finally settled down, and the last link was over.

This spring rainy season did not bring hope to the eldest princess, nor did it bring hope to Yixiu in the previous life. Liu Youyou's presence in the whole incident was only when she broke into Yiran Courtyard. The rest of the time, she kept a low profile to reduce the Fourth Prince's suspicion. But how could Yixiu not see it?

She saw the desperate Princess Song, the arrogant Guaerjia clan, and the Fourth Prince who was deeply in pain over the loss of his daughter.

So you feel pain too! I thought you only liked Rouze's children? Then why weren't you there when Honghui was seriously ill? Was it because I wasn't good enough? Not beautiful enough? Not virtuous enough? What did I do wrong that made you not hear the help outside the door?

Liu Youyou didn't know Yixiu's pain and hatred. She was busy now. Zhao Jiama and the managers had already sent the account books over.

The princes have lived in their own residence since they were six years old, so there are quite a lot of accounts to keep, but there are usually people sent by their mother to assist them.

The situation of the Fourth Prince was different. At the beginning, the people sent by Empress Xiaoyi Ren later had their own ideas, and Concubine De did not dare to intervene, nor did she want to intervene, until Nanny Zhao Jia came. But Nanny Zhao Jia was a slave after all. She knew that there was something fishy in the accounts, but how could she dare to point it out?

Liu Youyou had Yixiu's memory assistance and had practiced in the simulation space for more than ten years, so these accounts were not difficult for her at all. However, the corruption of the servants opened Liu Youyou's eyes. She just flipped through a few books and found that there were hundreds of bad accounts that were missing or not matching. It didn't seem like much, but there were dozens of books on the desk? I'm afraid there was a deficit of tens of thousands of taels.

To be honest, the Fourth Prince is the richest man, holding the inheritance of Empress Xiaoyi Ren. Although his family relationship may not be perfect, he has no worries about money!

Liu Youyou quickly moved the abacus and called the four maids she brought with her to keep accounts. The whole room was filled with the crackling sound of the abacus. Naturally, she had no time to entertain the Fourth Prince.

Of course, the Fourth Prince was in no mood to go into the backyard during this period. It wasn’t because he was sad for the eldest princess, but mainly because it was rainy season and the previous dynasty was busy allocating funds to build embankments for flood prevention, so where would there be anyone to spare?

Another day passed from morning to night. Liu Youyou no longer cared about her image and stood up to stretch her body. Now that she had obtained the power of housekeeper, she could arrange her own staff. However, everything has its pros and cons. It was really tiring!

She suspected that the three empresses appointed by Kangxi were all exhausted to death. They had to manage a small prince's mansion from morning to night. These empresses had to manage such a large Forbidden City. I'm afraid they would have to synchronize their work and rest schedule with Kangxi's to complete their work!

However, after a period of hard work, Liu Youyou had a general impression of all the account books. In fact, complicated accounts were easy to solve. She was good at mental arithmetic and had experience. With the help of Jianqiu and the others, as long as she could get through the initial inconveniences, everything would be easy if she followed the old routine.

The most difficult to deal with are these corrupt slaves. Among them, apart from the menial servants who were assigned here without any foundation, there are also the managers in key places. Just to mention the person in charge of the kitchen, he is from the Wuya family.

For the sake of his offspring, Kangxi promoted the status of the four concubines, but they were all from their own branch. There were still many slaves in the Uya family, and for the sake of face, these people could only be placed with Defei and her children to prevent others from slandering and insulting Defei.

These people relied on the support of Concubine De, and didn't care whether it was a crime punishable by death. They even dared to take royal property, let alone a small mansion of the Fourth Prince?

Liu Youyou is not afraid of offending Concubine De by dealing with these people. She even hopes that Concubine De will give her the cold shoulder now!

Ever since the Fourth Prince gave most of the housekeeping power to Liu Youyou, he subconsciously weighed the pros and cons and began to reduce his favor towards Liu Youyou. It's not that Liu Youyou cares about this favor, but she doesn't take advantage of the Fourth Prince's youth and soft heart to quickly occupy the position. Does she expect to get the position when she is old and ugly?

The most basic thing is that Honghui hasn't found his whereabouts yet! I can't give birth to a child by myself.

Now she has found an opportunity, an opportunity to share the same hatred and fate with the Fourth Prince, and to advance and retreat together.

This is also the reason why I have been working overtime these days to process the account books. Without these key evidences, how can I complain to the Fourth Prince?

Another ten days passed, and it was already May. Thicker spring clothes could no longer be worn. Yixiu put on her newly made clothes and dressed appropriately. This time her makeup was gentle and pretty, and paired with her spring-like outfit, she was sure to make the Fourth Prince stare at her.

Yixiu asked two strong eunuchs to bring the account books and came to the front yard.

Concubine Yi is here! Su Peisheng was a little surprised. When this concubine first entered the mansion, she was jealous and often pestered the Fourth Master. But after the eldest princess left, perhaps because there were many things going on in the backyard, Concubine Yi had not invited the Fourth Prince for a long time.

Moreover, usually Jianqiu came to deliver food, why did she come in person today? This is not in accordance with the rules! Seeing two eunuchs carrying things beside Yixiu, Su Peisheng had an idea in his mind, maybe she was here to compete for favor.

After thinking thousands of things in his mind, Su Peisheng came forward with a perfect smile, "Your servant greets Concubine Yi, and I wish Concubine Yi good luck!"

"Eunuch Su, there's no need to be so polite." Yixiu didn't want to offend Su Peisheng, and always treated him with courtesy.

"What are you doing today?" Su Peisheng looked puzzled.

"I know the rules of the front yard. I have important matters to report to you today. Please let Eunuch Su pass on the message." Yixiu replied and motioned for the eunuch to come forward and show a corner of the account book.

Su Peisheng instinctively felt that something was wrong. What kind of important matter would make Concubine Yi disregard the rules and come in person? I'm afraid it's going to be a storm! But seeing Yi Xiu's confident smile, Su Peisheng didn't dare to say more and turned around to tell the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince was also a little puzzled because Yixiu never came to the front yard, but he still let Su Peisheng let Yixiu in.

Yi Xiu performed the formalities, instructed the two eunuchs to put the things down, and asked all the servants to leave.

Then she knelt in front of the desk and said in shock: "Master, I took over the accounts of the backyard under your order, but I am stupid and found many unreasonable places. If it was a few hundred taels of bad debt, it would be normal, but after sorting out these account books, I found that tens of thousands of taels are missing, and there are countless things. I am really scared, please punish me."
