Catching an adulterer at the beginning, the mistress of the Marquisate went crazy

The accountant of the Marquis's Mansion rarely came to see her on his own initiative except during the monthly accounting meetings.

After hearing what the maid said, Liu Tianshu went straight to the front hall.

"This old servant greets the Madam."

Seeing Liu Tianshu coming, Accountant Yu immediately came over to pay his respects.

"No need to be so polite to the accountant."

Liu Tianshu sat down at the first seat and a maid soon brought her tea.

After taking a sip of tea slowly, Liu Tianshu asked with concern, "Is there something that has happened to Accountant Yu that has come here so early?"

"Yes!"

Accountant Yu carefully placed an account book in front of Liu Tianshu.

"Madam, this account book shows all the expenses of the Marquis these days..."

"Accountant Yu, since this is the Marquis's expense, why are you giving it to me?"

Yu the accountant said in embarrassment: "Madam, there is no money left in the mansion. Tomorrow is the day to pay the monthly salary to all three people in the mansion..."

"Isn't there still 500 taels of silver left in the account office? Apart from the food that is bought for the people in the mansion every day, there seems to be 400 taels of silver left, which is enough to pay the servants in the mansion monthly wages. It's only been half a month, how much money can the Marquis spend?"

"lady……"

Upon hearing what Liu Tianshu said, Accountant Yu immediately knelt on the ground.

"Madam, the Marquis has not only spent all the four hundred taels of silver in the public account these days, but also took away all the income sent by a shop outside. Now there is no money left in the account..."

"what?"

Liu Tianshu looked at Accountant Yu in shock.

"Yu, Accountant, you are also an old man in the Marquis' Mansion. Why didn't you tell me earlier that the Marquis spent so much money at once?"

Yu the accountant said in embarrassment: "Madam, this entire mansion belongs to the Marquis. He came to ask for money, how dare I not give it to him?"

After the shock, Liu Tianshu slowly calmed down and drank her tea leisurely.

"Since you have secretly given all the money in the account to the Marquis, what are you talking to me about now?"

"Madam, if there is no more money in the account, let alone paying the servants their monthly wages tomorrow, we can't even afford to buy food for today."

"Really……"

Liu Tianshu kicked the accountant in the chest, knocking him backwards to the ground.

"Yu, the money has not been approved by me, the mistress of the house. This money is not in my budget. You should go to whoever you gave it to for the money."

After saying that, Liu Tianshu said to Qingshan, "Qingshan, send Yu to the account office and leave."

Therefore, he would not leave without asking for the money from the accountant.

"Madam, all that money was spent by the Marquis..."

"Then go ask the Marquis for it."

Liu Tianshu placed the teacup heavily on the table.

"Accountant Yu, do you really think I'm stupid? I don't care where the Marquis spent the money. If you spent the money without my consent, you will have to pay for it."

"Ma'am, that's not the case..."

Seeing that Liu Tianshu was determined not to give the money, Yu the Accountant said anxiously: "Madam, if we don't tell the servants about their monthly wages tomorrow, we will all be hungry today. If this gets out, it will damage your reputation..."

I don't even want to be the marquis's wife anymore, so I don't care about the reputation of the mansion.

What's more, the thing was done by Gu Jinyun and Yu the accountant, so she would not be stupid enough to fill in the gaps for the mistakes of these two people.

"Yu, the accountant, I'll say the same thing again. Go ask whoever you gave the money to. If everyone in the mansion has no food to eat today, I'll have someone make a stew out of you and give everyone a meal."

"what?"

As soon as Liu Tianshu said this, Accountant Yu’s fat body could hardly kneel.

"Madam, all this was spent by the Marquis. I didn't get a penny..."

After the accountant finished speaking, Liu Tianshu asked coldly, "Why didn't you tell me when the Marquis asked for money? Now everyone in the mansion is waiting for dinner, but you come to me and cry poor. Can I make money fall from the sky?"

"Madam, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of food for everyone, as well as the monthly salary of the servants in the mansion tomorrow..."

"You are right. Since the incident started because of you, I will give you two options. First, you pay the money that the mansion needs now, and then you can ask the Marquis for it when he comes back..."

"The slave chooses the second path..."

Before Liu Tianshu finished her words, Accountant Yu couldn't wait to speak.

"The second option is for me to sell your entire family for money..."

Liu Tianshu sneered, "Yu, don't think I don't know your little tricks. You just want to curry favor with the Marquis and let him turn a blind eye to the money you embezzled.

The reason why you have been sitting in the position of accountant in these years is not because you are doing well, but because you have not made too big mistakes.

Now, in order to please the Marquis and enrich yourself, you have emptied all the money in the Marquis' Mansion. Either you use all the money you have embezzled over the years to fill this hole, or you all sell your family to the brothel..."

As the accountant, all the money in the account books and public accounts was in his hands. Taking advantage of his position, he did embezzle a lot of money. In fact, because his masters usually did not look at the account books, he embezzled more money than his masters took.

At the beginning, he didn't dare to embezzle too much, but Liu Tianshu never cared where the money in the public account went as long as the account book and the amount of money matched, which gradually fostered his ambition.

He had been afraid before, but as he did more and more things and embezzled more and more money, and the incident had not yet exploded, he became more and more courageous.

Gu Jinyun had indeed spent a lot of money on drinking and eating in the brothel these days, and every time it was Xiao Sanyuan who came to collect the money.

In order to please Lord Gu Jinyun, he naturally gave him as much as he wanted, and at the same time he also took the opportunity to embezzle a little.

I thought this would be done perfectly, but if I really ran out of money, I would go to Liu Tianshu, the mistress of the house, and cry poor to her. Even if she did it for the sake of face, she would definitely fill the hole.

Unexpectedly, he never expected that Liu Tianshu would not fill this hole at all, making all his plans go to waste.

Having been used to living a lavish life in the Marquis' Mansion, Accountant Yu was completely dumbfounded when he heard that Liu Tianshu was going to sell off their entire family.

At the same time, after something like this happened, even if the old lady was behind him, she would never save herself.

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. For the sake of his family's lives, although accountant Yu was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to pay out all the money.

"Madam, I was wrong. I will go and get all the remaining silver..."

"Remember to hand over all the money you have embezzled over the years. If you fall short by even a little, I will sell out your entire family."

"Yes!"

Accountant Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left tremblingly, even forgetting to take the account book he had just brought.

Seeing Accountant Yu leave, Qingshan Guanxue sneered, "This Accountant Yu is getting bolder and bolder. It's fine if he just embezzled money, but he even dared to bring the matter to Madam and even wanted Madam to give him money. It's really wishful thinking..."
