Chapter 76 The Uncle of the Su Family Was Arrested
The purchases in the palace often cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you don't feed the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how can they pay the bills for you?
Want to eat shit?
Anyway, he has said all that needs to be said. Whether she does it or not is the eldest lady's business. If something goes wrong in the end, don't rely on him.
After the accountant left, it was the stewards from other places who came to pay money, buy utensils, and deal with various favors. Su Qiuyue was one and two big, so why were there so many places asking for money?
Even firewood costs hundreds of taels of silver every month. Why is firewood so expensive?
"Madam, there are many kinds of firewood, including fruit wood for roasting ducks, silver wire charcoal for stews and medicine, and hardwood firewood for cooking in the kitchen. This is still summer. If it's winter, the masters will all use it in their rooms.
The best greed can earn several thousand taels of silver a month."
"By the way, ice will be needed next month at the latest. It's more expensive than firewood. Madam, please prepare it in advance."
Su Qiuyue didn't want to talk. Firewood in winter was icy in summer, and all the money used for burning was silver!
For the first time, I realized that managing a home costs so much.
It really goes with the old saying, if you don’t become a householder, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
What makes her even more embarrassed is that she and Wen Nuan have already emptied many things from the warehouse, and the money has been treated as their own private property, and they have almost divided it up.
If you take out the money that has been put into your own pocket, isn’t it cutting off your flesh?
Su Qiuyue sent away the person in charge, and her family came back. Yang and her second aunt came together, all with panic expressions on their faces: "Qiuyue, help me, our tenants in the village have sued us, saying
Your eldest brother is forcing people to sell their fields and raise rents, making them unable to survive. Please think of a solution quickly."
"What? How could such a thing happen? Is it true or false?"
Yang's eyes flashed: "Those unscrupulous people are just looking for trouble. I haven't seen them starving to death. They don't work hard and want to share more of the harvest in our fields. How can such a good thing happen?"
The second aunt added: "There is also something about returning goods in the shop. Qiuyue, you didn't see it. Everything happened together. This is..."
She pointed to Wen Yao's yard. This is Wen Yao's revenge!
Su Qiuyue felt cold all over: "You mean..., she is that cruel?"
The second aunt wanted to roll her eyes. Do you think the eldest girl is very kind? Where did the illusion come from?
"You are her mother, please go and beg for mercy. If your eldest brother goes to jail, my mother will not be able to live!"
Yang was crying and screaming, and the alarmed servants peeked in secretly.
Su Qiuyue said quickly: "Okay, I'll ask, don't worry, maybe it's just a coincidence, it's a coincidence."
Wen Yao was not at home, so Su Qiuyue and her group had no choice but to have someone search for her. The search lasted all day until evening, when Wen Yao finally came back.
"Hello grandma, hello second aunt, have you eaten? Let the kitchen cook something good and entertain you two. If you stay overnight tonight, I will have the guest room prepared."
Wen Yao drinks some tea and feels like a normal person.
Yang and her second aunt looked embarrassed. Yang pushed Su Qiuyue to ask her to speak. Su Qiuyue could only say: "Your uncle has been sued. What do you think about this?"
Wen Yao raised his eyebrows: "I don't think much about it, I don't understand, I don't have an opinion. If you are sued, just respond. As long as the grandfather's family is in the right, the government will give the Su family justice, don't worry!"
Yang wanted to cry: "Your uncle has been arrested, and he might even go to jail..."
"Then I will give you some quilts, food and drink, and take care of the errands. Do you need my help? I will collect five hundred taels later. Grandma, you can use it first."
Yang was furious: "Where are you sending the beggars?"
Wen Yao was funny: "Which beggar is so loud that he can't even spend five hundred taels? Is this a beggar or a blackmailer?"
Wen Yao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai. Are all beggars so shameless these days?
The second aunt had no choice but to relent: "Yaoyao, don't be angry, your grandmother didn't mean that..."
"I know, I'm not angry either. How could my second aunt see that I'm angry? I'm very happy and not angry at all."
Second aunt: "..."
It's certain that she was the one who did it. She was so cruel that she sent her uncle in at once.
Wen Yao stood up: "Mom, please find some grandmother and aunt, I'm going back."
"You, don't leave, you can't ignore your uncle's affairs..."
Su Qiuyue stopped her and refused to allow her to leave.
Wen Yao was helpless: "What mother said is unreasonable. If I want to take charge, I have to be capable. The government is a place where men should find relationships. You let me, a girl, go with those jailers, servants, and masters."
To build relationships?
How many good sons do you have? The eldest son and the youngest daughter are your favorites, okay?
What’s the matter? I’m Wenyao when things happen, and I’m Warm when nothing happens. I, Wenyao, should go to great lengths for your words, and not let you say a kind word in the end?”
Wen Yao's eyes were heavy, it had always been like this, Su Qiuyue gave an order, and she would handle it properly no matter how difficult it was, and in the end she didn't even get a compliment.
She won't be stupid anymore. Anyone who has the ability will do it, but she can't do it!
Su Qiuyue was speechless when she looked at her, so her second aunt had no choice but to beg her: "Wen Yu is young..."
"He is only two years younger than me. He is an adult at the age of eighteen. Besides, doesn't he have a second uncle and a first cousin? Why, the men in the Su family also want women to stand out, so why don't they just stay at home and not show their heads?"
If it weren't for his uncle, grandfather, and Wen Yao, he would have called them cowards.
The second aunt was speechless and speechless.
Ms. Yang stood up and said angrily: "Girl, your grandmother is sorry for you. You are angry about what happened yesterday. I will kneel down to apologize to you. My old lady, I will sacrifice my face and beg you, okay?"
Yang was about to kneel down, but Su Qiuyue quickly supported her, pointed at her and cursed: "Look at what you have forced your grandmother to do? How did I give birth to such an evil obstacle like you?"
Wen Yao's eyes became even colder: "I don't dare to make you angry anymore because I don't want to hinder your eyes. You didn't press me into a basin of blood and drown me to death. Don't say such things now.
I'm not a child anymore, and your old tricks don't work anymore. Each of you is so capable, Prince Jing's Mansion can go in and file a complaint, but the Jingzhao Mansion can't do anything about it?
You still need to prepare hundreds of thousands of taels of dowry for Nuan Nuan. Where is your prince's son-in-law? Why don't you go and beg him?"
Wen Yao sneered, turned and walked away, what kind of moral kidnapping is this?
You feel aggrieved when you kneel down, whether you want to kneel down or not.
Yang was dumbfounded, "What can we do?"
The second aunt rolled her eyes: "His sister-in-law, what's going on with Prince Jing's complaint that Wen Yao mentioned? What's going on with the prince's son-in-law? How many things about you do we not know?"
Yang also stared at her: "If you can get in touch with the prince, prince, why should your mother and I beg her?"
