She traveled through the book to become the prince's concubine? She chose to be the villain!
Chapter 14 The Silver is Missing
Nanny Wang Madam was indeed the old lady's confidante. She took the clapboard and hit Nanny Sun hard on the mouth twice.
Although they are all maids, their role is naturally different as they follow different masters.
"Who the hell are you to argue with the old lady? The old lady asked you to do something, and you dare to stop her! Is this the rule of your Zhou family?"
Nanny Wang had a cold look on her face, which surprised Zhou Miaoyi.
Is this girl really helping the old lady?
How did the old lady choose her?
Liu Rumei sneered in her heart. Zhou Miaoyi still hasn't realized that all Old Lady Zhang wants is money.
If she wasn't afraid of being found vulnerable and losing face, she would have just sent someone to move it away.
Liu Rumei would not say this, so let Zhou figure it out for herself.
The old lady said angrily: "The eldest girl has been a virgin for three years. If she were in another family, she would be an old maid.
Since you, as a mother, are unwilling to worry about her marriage, I, as a grandmother, will naturally have to bear the brunt of it."
Zhou Miaoyi was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten Liu Rumei's age.
She spent the whole day in the yard learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She didn't care about anything else on weekdays and she forgot about it completely.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't my eldest son have reached the age of twenty? Has his marriage been decided?
"What mother said is right. It is better for mother to decide the marriage of children. My husband once said that mother should be involved in these matters so that children can have a suitable marriage."
She said this with a sour feeling in her heart.
In fact, she had thought about asking about it before, but was humiliated by her husband.
She said she didn't know anyone and didn't know anyone's family background, so how could she talk about getting married?
So she stopped asking after that, thinking the children's marriages were settled.
“It’s not easy for children to get married, and with you as a mother, the eldest girl’s marriage is even more difficult.
Because of this, I thought of having someone open a warehouse so that I could prepare more dowry for the child and give her a better appearance.
Not to mention you as a mother, even I as a grandmother need to subsidize you! What? You are worried about the money! Haha, you are indeed a merchant who values money. "
"Mother, how could your daughter-in-law feel sorry for the money? The key is with Madam Sun. You can find out what you need yourself."
Zhou Miaoyi said this and glanced at Nanny Sun, who felt her heart tremble.
She didn't dare to refuse, so she had to hand the key to the old lady with great pain.
But she didn't expect that the old lady didn't answer, but looked at Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei was very calm. She took the key directly and even bowed, showing great sincerity.
"Mother has been worried about her daughter's marriage. I know she loves me, so I won't be shy. If you see something that is needed, I will ask someone to move it to my yard first."
Liu Rumei went a step further, and since the old lady had no objection, Zhou Miaoyi naturally did not dare to object.
"as long as you are happy."
"Of course I am happy. Mother can also take this opportunity to take a break and avoid exhausting herself."
Hearing this, Zhou Miaoyi almost vomited blood. She has not been busy in these years.
Liu Rumei gave an order and the maids and servants all started moving things!
The old lady took a look and was also curious about what good things Zhou Miaoyi had in her private vault.
Liu Rumei’s goal is very clear, she wants money!
Since the two hundred thousand taels of silver were the money she earned from selling her body, she must get it, and no one could take it away from her.
But after entering the warehouse and checking carefully, Liu Rumei's face looked extremely ugly.
She walked out directly and asked Chuntao to take the account book to old lady Zhang.
The old lady doesn't quite understand. Is there something wrong with this account book?
"what happened?"
"Grandma, there are only 30,000 taels left on the account."
Hearing this, the old lady felt dizzy.
"Only thirty thousand taels left!"
The old lady knew that Zhou Miaoyi's dowry was about 250,000 taels, and she had given her daughter 100,000 taels to manage the family over the years.
But in addition to this, there should be 150,000 taels!
Even if you can spend as much as you want, you must have at least 100,000 taels!
This spendthrift woman!
"Zhou! What's going on?!"
Zhou Miaoyi looked at the angry old lady and couldn't help swallowing.
Nanny Sun lay on the ground pretending to be dead. The other maids were also surprised. Just 30,000 taels?
"Madam, your daughter-in-law doesn't know either. I never counted on this money.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if the silver is gone. We are a noble family, and the last thing we should care about is money.”
The old lady was choked. She had often used this phrase to mock Zhou Miaoyi before.
To be honest, if she didn't know that Zhou Miaoyi didn't have the courage, she would have suspected that she was being mocked.
I don’t care about money! What do I care about?
"You bastard! Check! Check for me!"
Hearing the old lady say this, Nanny Wang couldn't help but pat her on the back.
Really, she was afraid that the old lady would be angry to death!
Although it is the daughter-in-law's dowry, is there any difference between this and losing your own money?
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely find out where the money is!"
Liu Rumei said this and glanced at Chuntao, who immediately perked up.
She was familiar with the matter of settling accounts. She had already sorted out the girl's trivial matters long ago. Now that she suddenly had a big job, she was very happy.
Chuntao was doing the accounting while Liu Rumei was giving instructions. In an hour, all the accounts for the past ten years were ready.
She took a look at the account book, then handed it to Old Madam Zhang, with a cold smile in her heart.
After Zhang finished reading it, she also took a breath.
"This this……"
She didn't say anything for a long time, but remained silent for a while.
"Grandma, my mother's daily expenses are quite high, about thirty thousand taels.
But apart from that, the rest of the big money was in the outer courtyard. Except for the ten thousand taels that my disappointing brother spent on buying calligraphy and paintings, it was taken away by my father.
I am a daughter, and as a younger generation I naturally cannot comment on the elders without permission. I am afraid I need to ask my grandmother what the money is used for.
This is really strange. My father doesn't gamble and doesn't like calligraphy and antiques. He should have saved the money, right?"
Liu Rumei said this, and Zhang gritted her teeth.
"Okay, I'll go get your father's 80,000 taels back!"
Since the old lady said so, then there is naturally no problem.
If it was for the sake of others, the old lady wouldn't necessarily be the bad person.
But for the sake of my daughter and grandson, there is no room for negotiation.
Liu Rumei was also curious. Others were partial to their sons, but in their mansion, the old lady treated her daughter as the apple of her eye and her son as a fool.
Liu Rumei smiled faintly and said that this matter could be discussed later. No one could touch her money, so now she should take back what she could.
So, she pointed to the storehouse and said, "Although there are only 30,000 taels of silver, I see that mother has a lot of jade and jewelry here, so give them to my daughter as a dowry."
Zhou Miaoyi widened her eyes. This unfilial daughter had such a big appetite.
She didn't like Liu Rumei and didn't want to give anything to this unfilial daughter, but the old lady was keeping an eye on her.
So even if I didn't like it, I had to give in and agree to it with gritted teeth.
"They are just some vulgar things. Take them if you like them."
Just by listening to the tone of his voice, he is rich and powerful and treats money as dirt.
It’s okay if you don’t want it, but she likes it and she wants it all!
Anyway, if she didn't spend it herself, the old lady would send her to the palace to fill the hole of Concubine Ning and marry the emperor into a concubine.
"In that case, I would like to thank my mother for her love."
After Liu Rumei said this, she gave Chuntao a look, and Chuntao took people to take inventory.
Seeing Liu Rumei taking inventory of the things in the warehouse, the maids and old women in the yard all became as obedient as quails.
"Girl, there are a lot of things missing from Madam's warehouse!" Chuntao said in panic.
