The real daughter is really not a human being

"I asked you to calculate how much money you received from the second wife. Have you done it?" Song asked.

After her husband told her yesterday, she told Mrs. Yu.

Yu knelt in front of her mother-in-law, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Why, I can't order you around now?" Song sneered.

Yu lowered her head and spoke reluctantly: "Mother, I'm afraid that the silver we received from the second house may not be enough for 10,000 taels."

Song had just given the order yesterday, and Yu had intended to delay it for as long as possible. If time went on for a long time, perhaps she wouldn't have to pay the money. Or she could go and discuss with her second brother to see if she could get some extra time.

Although there was a lot of silver in the public treasury, it was only a few thousand taels. If she wanted to take it all out, she would have to use her own private money to make up for it.

How could she afford ten thousand taels?

"Then what did you do with the money? You have to give me a plan! Could it be that I, an old woman, took it?"

Song sneered in her heart, thinking that if the money received from the public treasury was not used by this family, then who else could it be?

At the beginning of the year, Song celebrated her birthday and invited the ladies of the various mansions to a banquet, which cost her three thousand taels of silver. In the beginning of spring, she bought two pots of flowers, which cost her one hundred and fifty taels of silver. The flowers in her yard were the most expensive in the entire mansion.

This needs to be used today, that place needs to be repaired tomorrow, and there are also favors to be dealt with all over the capital, as well as gifts for festivals, all of which come from this public fund!

If you don’t know, you might think she embezzled the money.

"My daughter-in-law knows about this and will go and raise the money right away."

"Go down, and don't forget to write down the account book and hand it in when the time comes. You can show it to your father-in-law." Song said loudly.

Song was also a housekeeper when she was young, so she knew what it was like to be a housekeeper. So she gave away her housekeeper power early in the morning and gave it to the daughter-in-law of the first wife.

Even if Yu had mentioned this to her, she would have agreed. The power of being the head of the family was in Yu's hands, so it would not be her problem.

The only thing to blame is that Mrs. Yu was too stupid. She failed to manage the family business properly and the accounts were full of deficits.

It wasn't like this when she was in charge!

When Yu returned to the courtyard, it was already daybreak. She hadn't had a good night's rest, so her face was inevitably haggard. She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that her husband had gone to the government office.

She called over all her maids who came with her as a dowry, as well as the housekeeper and accountant of the mansion.

Since you want to check the seal, you have to check it thoroughly.

Fortunately, she was careful enough to record all the money she took from the second house in the account book.

Now, she is going to settle the account.

Yu first asked her maid to calculate the monthly salary that the second wife had been short of in recent years. Yu only calculated the amount for the two of them, and the rest was none of her business.

Together with the money from the second wife, the total amount was sixteen thousand taels!

What does 16,000 taels mean? All the farms she brought as a dowry only produced a little over 3,000 taels of income in a year.

Although she was a legitimate daughter, she had many sisters in her family, many of whom married into eunuchs' families, so it was impossible for her to be given all the family property. The reason she could earn more than three thousand taels now was because she had managed the business carefully over the years and added some shops.

The shop with the Wei family's official seal earns more, eight thousand taels a year!

There are still five thousand taels in the public treasury now!

It would take more than a year of not eating or drinking to pay it back!

Yu sneered in her heart, asked the maid to copy the calculated account book again, and asked the maid to invite the woman from the third room over, because she could not pay the money alone.

If she doesn't have a good life, no one else can have an easy life.

While the Wei Mansion was in turmoil, the Li Mansion next door had almost been cleaned up.

Cai Fan even took time out to come and supervise the work.

Except for the flowers, plants and trees planted in the backyard, as well as the wooden frames of the house itself and the tiles on the roof, everything has been moved away.

All emptied!

These are naturally the intentions of the nobles in the palace.

Since Yaoguang has been rewarded with an old house, it is impossible to leave her the furniture used by others, so she must add some new ones.

So Cai Fan hurried over and added furniture to the house according to the eldest princess's instructions.

The furniture was directly pulled out from the Imperial Household Department and the Princess's Mansion to ensure that they would not exceed the system before being delivered.

If the royal family wants to show favor to someone, the master above does not need to worry too much, the people below will take the initiative to complete it, and it will be meticulous and easy.

Watching the furniture being carried into the house one by one and placed in the house, Cai Fan went to the door and urged them to take down the plaque.

From now on, this place will have a new owner!

When the house was almost filled, Cai Fan rode his horse to the bakery to report to Yaoguang.

"Miss Yaoguang, Lord Li's yard has been cleaned up. When will you move in?" Cai Fan said respectfully.

"So fast?"

"The Queen sent people to clean up overnight, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince also made a lot of efforts."

"Tomorrow, it's too late today."

"Okay, then Miss Yaoguang, do you want me to help you move tomorrow?"

"Please prepare a carriage for me."

Seeing that Yaoguang finally did not reject him, Cai Fan was overjoyed! He must have done his job very well, so Miss Yaoguang allowed him to help her prepare the carriage. He had to do a better job in the future.

After returning from the bakery, Yaoguang first went to Ding Mao to tell him about her upcoming move.

Ding Mao was not surprised that Yaoguang was moving. He already knew that Master Wei had brought Yaoguang back home...

He sent his brothers on the road to keep an eye on the academy, and they knew that Master Wei had taken Yaoguang to many places.

Originally he was worried that he had pushed Yaoguang into a fire pit, but he didn't expect that he accidentally helped Miss Yaoguang find her relatives, which was a great thing!

Ding Mao was open-minded and did not feel proud of himself. He even wanted to celebrate for Yaoguang.

"If you need a place to live in the future, you can continue to come to my small courtyard." Ding Mao said seriously.

Compared to this small courtyard, it is completely incomparable to what Miss Yaoguang gave him.

Miss Yaoguang asked him to look after the machines at the back of the bakery for ten days! Ten whole days!

He knew how to use boiling water to drive the wheels! Ding Mao was ready to do it in his own yard.

Although Yaoguang had no intention of accepting him as her apprentice, in his heart, Yaoguang was no different from his half-master!

Once a teacher, always a father!

Half a mother!

If Yaoguang wanted to come back to live here, how could he have the nerve to ask for money again.

"Thank you, and thank you for taking me to see Mr. Wei and helping me find my family." Yaoguang bowed.

Ding Mao hurried over to stop him, "No, no! This will shorten your life!"

No disciple would bow to his master! Ding Mao secretly complained in his heart.

After the ceremony, Yaoguang asked Ding Mao if he needed any help. As long as she could do it, she would help Ding Mao.

Ding Mao stood there in a daze after hearing this.
