The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Lin couldn't accept it either.

The second wife took a lot of things, so why did she give half as little as the first wife when she contributed money?

The old lady is partial to the second wife. She always remembers the second wife when she gets anything good, and thinks of the first wife when she needs to do something!

"mother……"

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Lin wanted to say something more, but the old lady interrupted them with a wave of her hand, "Enough!"

"It's settled now. I'm not dead yet, so I can still make the decision."

"If anyone has any objections, then move out of the mansion and I won't be able to control her!"

Seeing that the old lady's words were so serious, Lin and Wu did not dare to refuse anymore and hurriedly took their daughters back to the yard to collect the money.

Lin took Madam Kong's hand and returned to Lanquan Garden. The more she thought about it along the way, the more she felt something was wrong.

I hadn't thought about checking the accounts for the past two months, but that incident happened a few days later. Could it be...

"Go and ask the coachman who went out with Sister Hua today where she went and who she met." Lin instructed Madam Kong.

As soon as Madam Kong left, Zhou Lingyi couldn't hold it in any longer. "Mother, do you suspect she did it on purpose?"

"It just feels like too much of a coincidence. It's always better to be cautious," said Lin.

Soon, Madam Kong returned. "My cousin went out today and first went to the Lu Family Teahouse in the west for tea. On the way back, she passed by West Street and got off the car and went to the Shen Family Silk Shop. He secretly followed them and took a look. He saw only the owner and the shop assistants. Later, he ran into the Second Young Lady, had some conflicts, and then returned home."

As for An Jin, the groom thought that Shen Qionghua's helping a brothel girl out of trouble was an insignificant matter, and since he didn't bring the girl back to the mansion, he didn't even mention it.

To get to Lu's Teahouse, you do have to pass through West Street.

"Is it really a spur of the moment?" Lin murmured.

Madam Kong thought for a moment and said, "I do know one thing. Perhaps that's why Miss Cousin went to check the accounts."

"That day, my cousin sent someone to beat Nanny Bai and Bai Zhi behind the courtyard. I heard from the maids that she was angry that Bai Zhi had left her alone in the garden. Later, she discovered that Nanny Bai had stolen Madam Shen's jewelry and sold it for money."

"Both of them were beaten with thirty sticks and still can't get out of bed."

Yes, that's right.

It was because Aunt Bai stole the jewelry that Hua Jie'er went to check the shop's accounts.

Lin was both relieved and angry, and couldn't help but curse: "What a short-sighted thing! I gave her so much money, and she still stole!"

"And yet you still want your daughter to be my brother Lin'er's concubine? Bah! She's not worthy enough!"

"If the other maids weren't so loyal to Sister Hua, why would they have come after her?"

Zhou Lingyi worriedly asked, "Now that she has beaten Bai Zhi, what will happen to His Highness's future plans?"

"Second Miss, please rest assured. Although Aunt Bai has been disliked by my cousin, I heard that Bai Zhi was unaware of the theft, so my cousin will still keep her by her side to serve her."

"Really?" Zhou Lingyi was a little surprised.

"After all, they grew up together, so their feelings are bound to be deeper. The little girl from Yunmengxuan said that after the fight, she specially asked Miss Shaoyao to give Baizhi some ointment." said Madam Kong.

"That's good." Zhou Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about the silver again. "Mom, do we really have to give 10,000 taels of silver? The second house obviously took quite a bit too. Grandmother is just partial to my second uncle and aunt."

As the saying goes, the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the treasures of the old lady, and Mrs. Wu is no exception.

The eldest grandson is handsome and talented. He follows the eldest son to work in the army and has the support of His Highness and the Imperial Concubine. As long as His Highness can ascend to the throne, the eldest grandson's future will naturally not be bad.

As for the youngest son, he doesn't even have a legitimate son now, and his only legitimate daughter is not very smart, which makes the old lady very worried.

Lin consoled her daughter, "These are just small amounts of money. As long as my daughter can marry Prince An and ascend to the throne, I'll do anything for her."

"Mom!" Zhou Lingyi blushed.

Yunmengxuan

As soon as it got dark, Licorice walked in with a smile on his face.

"Miss, Steward Wang sent in a message that all the debts owed by the Marquis' Mansion have been settled."

Manager Wang is Wang Hai.

Shen Qionghua knew that Wang Hai was a capable person, so she directly promoted him to general manager. This would relieve some of her pressure and allow her to focus on the next things.

Shen Qionghua was a little surprised that the Marquis' Mansion was so straightforward. She thought that the first and second houses would have to argue for a while.

While chatting and laughing with Licorice, Shaoyao walked in with a sullen face, "Miss, there's a man outside who says he's sent by King Rui and wants to see you."

A look of surprise flashed across Shen Qionghua's face. "Please come in."

An Yi, dressed in black, strode into the room, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "An Yi greets Miss Shen."

"Please get up quickly. I will trouble you again in the future." Shen Qionghua said.

"Ms. Shen, you are too polite. This is An Yi's responsibility. From now on, An Yi will ensure Miss Shen's safety outside the house. If Miss Shen has anything to do, she can ask An Yi to do it." An Yi said solemnly.

"Humph!"

As An Yi finished speaking, a faint cold snort was heard in the room.

Shen Qionghua looked in the direction of the voice and found that it came from the always steady Shaoyao.

An felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shaoyao staring at him with a bad expression.

It’s all Lin Ze’s fault. He kept nagging in front of him before leaving.

She said that the prince had special feelings for Miss Shen, and asked him to be more careful and polite, not to enter Miss Shen's boudoir directly, but to inform the two maids beside Miss Shen.

Who knew that the maidservant beside Miss Shen was so timid? She was scared just because he shouted from the beam.

After all, he was in the wrong. An Yi said to Shaoyao, "An Yi was inconsiderate just now. I hope the young lady can forgive me."

"You are here to protect the young lady. I dare not blame you." Shaoyao said sarcastically.

God knows how frightened she was just now.

It was already dark, and she was walking in the corridor with a lamp in her hand. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She turned around but found no one there. When she turned around again, she saw the face of a man lying upside down.

She was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream, but the man who jumped down covered her mouth with his hands.

Shen Qionghua was curious when she saw that there was something going on between the two of them, and Shaoyao told her everything like pouring beans, which made her laugh uncontrollably.

-

Prince Rui's Mansion.

The study is brightly lit.

Lin Ze stood at the door of the study, holding the palace's account book in his hand and sighed for the eighty-eighth time.

Ji Bei stood straight holding the sword, and his usually expressionless face now showed signs of collapse.
