Before Liu Yun had arranged things for Li Chang, something happened to the three thousand taels taken away by Mrs. Liu. This is no wonder Mrs. Jiang. She had just taken over the affairs of the backyard, so of course she didn't know about it. Every transaction in the backyard was recorded in the accounting room.
case, as for how to deduct corruption from these recorded money, that is the ability of the people in power.
For every expenditure exceeding one thousand taels of silver, the accountant will report to the master every half a month. Although the wife is in charge of the backyard, the Mu Mansion still belongs to the master after all, and the expenses in the backyard naturally need to be known to him.
After Lin was imprisoned, the eldest lady and Jiang were in charge. They had to withdraw three thousand taels of silver in just a few days. Although the accountant let Liu take away the money, she still felt uneasy. When the master returned home,
So I went to inform them, so that the master would not blame them for their poor supervision when the accounts were reconciled half a month later.
This matter is like this, it has become a big deal.
Uncle Zhong sent someone to Zhuyan Pavilion to look for Liuyun, but she went to Xia's yard again. The man went to Xia's yard again, which wasted a lot of time. When he found Liuyun and rushed to her father's study,
Mrs. Jiang was already kneeling on the ground, while Mrs. Liu stood aside with tears in her eyes.
Liu Yun was amazed by this posture. Could it be that Mrs. Liu in this vase had a transformation?
"Dad." Liu Yun bowed slightly towards Mu Qingyang. As for the two aunts, she even looked at her. Jiang was kneeling silently, but Liu was obviously unhappy with Liu Yun's neglect and looked angry.
Dare to speak up.
"What did Aunt Jiang do? My daughter saw that Aunt Jiang was busy with the affairs of the house these days, so she was very worried." Liu Yun was not intimidated by the solemn atmosphere in the room at all, but walked up to Mu Qingyang.
Next to the case table, his eyes glanced at the account books on the case table, and he knew in his heart that it was really the three thousand taels. It seemed that Lin was really powerful. He was sent to Beiyuan and he could still make trouble.
"She secretly gave away three thousand taels to your Aunt Liu, and she dared to use the money in the house as a favor. She was really bold." Mu Qingyang slapped the table coldly, looking very angry.
Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips and said nothing. She thought she had already explained it, but her father didn't listen.
"Master, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made things difficult for Sister Jiang. If master wants to punish me, just punish me." Jiaojiao bit her lip weakly, and Mrs. Liu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed.
Liu Yun looked at her father inexplicably and asked curiously: "Dad, this money is for Aunt Liu, but you are punishing Aunt Jiang. Doesn't it seem right?"
Mu Qingyang snorted coldly and said immediately: "What's wrong? She is in charge of the backyard, so she should know how to act appropriately. Even if your Aunt Liu goes to ask her for money, she should also know what can and cannot be done.
If everyone in the mansion follows her example in the future, even if our Mu mansion has gold and silver, it won’t be enough to defeat her."
This is true. Even if Mrs. Liu is wrong, she is just being unreasonable. But Mrs. Jiang is different. Since she is in charge of the trivial matters in the backyard, she should naturally have a sense of what can be done and what cannot be done. If
If she can't exercise discretion, then naturally the position in charge should be given to Xian.
After all, what that person covets is the power of the manager.
"Dad, I have to blame my daughter for this matter. Aunt Jiang didn't agree to it at first, but Aunt Liu has been making trouble for a long time, and it even came to her daughter. My daughter thought that her father loves Aunt Liu so much on weekdays. She heard that her father gave her a gift before
Aunt Liu's gold hairpin is worth a hundred taels of gold, so three thousand taels of silver shouldn't be a big deal." Liu Yun tilted his head and replied matter-of-factly: "And my daughter heard Aunt Liu say that this is a life-saver.
As for the silver, my grandmother often said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I think I can save a few lives with three thousand taels of silver. Dad shouldn't be stingy, right?"
Seeing that Liu Yun spoke so logically, the anger in Mu Qingyang's heart dissipated a lot, and the eyes he looked at Mrs. Jiang became much softer. He knew that Mrs. Liu was so noisy, otherwise
He wouldn't pamper her, and after a few days, he wouldn't go to her place often anymore. Occasionally, she looked cute and charming, but who could bear the commotion day and night?
"Okay, let Aunt Jiang get up first? My daughter is counting on Aunt Jiang to take care of the family affairs. Dad gave the backyard to her. How could she have such thoughts? If Aunt Jiang hadn't taken care of her daughter, she would be busy right now.
It should be my daughter who is in trouble." Liu Yun blinked, hooked Mu Qingyang's arm with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, please don't bully Aunt Jiang, my daughter won't obey."
"You girl, you are just bullying your Aunt Jiang for her gentle nature, so you are so lawless. Dad asked you to learn to be a housekeeper for your own good. When you get married, you will always be the mistress of the house, and you will always have to be the housekeeper." Mu
Qingyang nodded angrily on Liuyun's forehead, scolding her for being so silly and cute, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"How dare you, daughter? Aunt Jiang is now my daughter's life-saving straw. Grandma just gave her a scolding yesterday. She said that if she continues to be so idle, she will have to personally supervise her housekeeper." Liu Yun looked like he was about to cry but had no tears.
It doesn't look like he's being fake, he seems to really dislike the housekeeper.
It was rare for Mu Qingyang to be seduced and coquettish by his daughter like this, and his heart became softer and softer. Strangely enough, although he had many children, none of them were close to him. Although he doted on Lan Xi the most, he had never been like this.
When you are close.
"But speaking of it, Aunt Liu, have your family affairs been resolved? Has your father come back?" Liu Yun asked Mrs. Liu with concern, and suddenly said in annoyance: "Ah, I forgot, Aunt Liu can't leave the house.
, how do you know the current situation. But don’t worry, Aunt Liu, I will send someone to the Liu Mansion tomorrow to check on the situation, so Auntie, don’t worry."
These words made Mu Qingyang's expression darken slightly. Yes, the concubines of the Mu Mansion were not allowed to leave the house. Except for those in charge, even the maids of other concubines had to register if they wanted to leave the house.
Yes, since Mrs. Liu is in Mu Mansion, how does she contact the outside world? Was this news brought in by someone who went out, or was someone sneaking in?
Mrs. Jiang raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yun, who had a calm expression on her face. She didn't know whether her words were unintentional or intentional, but no matter what, her words had an effect. It seemed that Mrs. Liu's good days were probably coming to an end.
In a wealthy mansion, few people can withstand investigation. Things they have done will always leave traces, so don't be afraid. Once investigated, nothing can be done to cover it up.
"You all go back." Mu Qingyang waved his hand and asked them to leave on their own.
Liu Yun helped Ms. Jiang go out and passed by Luo Shao who came in. She was sensitive to the fact that Luo Shao's eyes paused for a moment and then returned to normal, but Ms. Jiang didn't notice at all.
However, this scene caught Mrs. Liu right, and a light flashed through her seductive eyes.
