Chapter 191 Accounts
"You little bitch, I think you want to be his concubine, so you say that!" Wang Xifeng said while gritting her teeth.
"Why do you tease a maid like me?" Ping'er said, "Madam, you don't have to complain about me. If you really want to go back to Jinling, I won't say anything and will just follow you."
"Grandma, think about it yourself. I am not good at talking, and I can't compare with Third Master. I am afraid that if you insist on leaving, if Third Master comes to stop you, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop you!"
After saying this, he covered Wang Xifeng with the quilt and walked out.
Jia Cong stood alone in the Dengxian Pavilion, facing the cool breeze blowing from the lake!
"Am I becoming a scumbag?" Jia Cong rubbed his nose. He just couldn't help himself. "But that's Feng Lazi, the goddess Wang Xifeng! It would be weird if I really acted like Liu Xiahui!"
After returning to the room, she used the anger accumulated by Wang Xifeng to bully Qingwen twice before she slowly fell asleep.
On the second day, Jia Cong brought Qingwen to Keqing's courtyard early in the morning as usual.
"Uncle San is here?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Jia Cong stepped forward and held Keqing's hand! Keqing was more beautiful than a flower, and she whispered, "Third Uncle..."
Just one sentence made Jia Cong bend over in embarrassment!
"Hehe! You shameless couple, stop showing off in front of the Second Madam. Why don't you find a place where no one is around?" Wang Xifeng walked out with her eyes glaring.
Jia Cong laughed loudly, "Second sister-in-law, you are wrong. Keqing and I are in love and politeness! Besides, it's cold this morning, isn't it? Let me warm Keqing's hands! Come on, I am not partial to one and will warm your hands too!"
Having said that, he directly grabbed Wang Xifeng's slender hand and walked into the house!
After following him into the house in a daze, Wang Xifeng finally came to her senses. She quickly pulled her hand away and spat inwardly, "This idiot only knows how to tease me, the Second Madam!"
"Can we use the medicine today?" Jia Cong asked Wang Xifeng .
"The imperial physician sent someone to deliver it early in the morning, and grandma just drank it." Ping'er said.
"Brother Cong, you see I'm much better now, can I stop taking the medicine? I take a big bowl of it every day, and after that I don't feel like eating anything for the whole day." Wang Xifeng said with a bitter face.
"That won't do. You have to eat as much as the doctor says! You can't skip three meals a day, or you'll get hungry and thin. Won't the old lady give me trouble by then?"
Wang Xifeng glared at Jia Cong, feeling that this black-hearted man was referring to her, but don't you know whether she is thin or not? Didn't you measure her last night?
Watching Wang Xifeng and Jia Cong bickering, Keqing covered her mouth and chuckled. Finally, there was someone who could control this domineering second sister-in-law.
After a while, when the two stopped talking, Keqing said to Jia Cong, "Third uncle, last night my sister-in-law and I have sorted out all the accounts of money coming in and out, and the accounts of the treasury! Among them, the silver that was found to be embezzled is as much as more than 100,000, and I don't know how much more cannot be found."
"Many things in the warehouse also disappeared out of thin air!"
Jia Cong sneered when he heard this, "These black-hearted people, I was busy with trivial matters at home before, and now I am free, so I will deal with them all at once!"
"Brother Cong, why don't you ask the old lady first!" Wang Xifeng, who was standing by, of course knew what was going on and couldn't help but worry about Jia Cong. "Lai Sheng is Nanny Lai's son. Nanny Lai has a lot of respect in front of the old lady! If we arrest him directly, I'm afraid the old lady will lose face."
"Besides, you are the master of the mansion after all. If you raid the servants' houses directly, I'm afraid people will talk about you!"
"Humph!" Jia Cong sneered, "How many of the servants in this mansion are loyal? It wouldn't be surprising if they were all chopped off! After the confiscation, let the government take it directly. The mansion will naturally give corresponding compensation to those who were oppressed. By then, there will only be a good reputation. Who dares to complain?"
"As for respectability, if you work loyally, you will naturally have respectability. But now that these people have dug up the foundation of your mansion, what respectability do you still want?"
"If the Lai family admits it, I will naturally not bother to care about the affairs of the West Mansion! But if the Lai family dares to use the old lady to pressure me, I can't say that every member of the Lai family will be killed. I want to see who is innocent."
"Second sister-in-law, you are the housekeeper all day long, so you must know! How many evil things have these maids and servants done behind the back of our master? Won't all these things fall on us in the future? In my opinion, those servants in the West Mansion should be cleaned up severely."
Wang Xifeng smiled bitterly when she heard this. How could she not know these things? But the people here included not only the old lady's people, but also the people around several ladies. How could she dare to do it? Only Jia Cong would dare to do such a thing.
"Qingwen, go and ask Xia Zhong to bring his men to the front hall and wait. Qin Lian, go and tell Lu Feng to send his personal guards to block the front and back doors for me. Then bring another team of personal guards outside the front hall and ask him to bring the verified account books of the manor! Baozhu, go and ask the eldest sister-in-law to come to the front hall. Also, ask everyone in the mansion to wait for me in the front yard! Molan, take my name card to the government office and ask the messenger to come directly."
Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Cong's decisive and fierce look, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. This enemy was so domineering that it made people happy.
"Is my second sister-in-law here, or would you like to go and watch this show together?"
Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I want to see how majestic you, the great marquis, are!"
Then, the group walked towards the front yard!
When they entered the front hall, Xia Zhong had already led people there, and Lu Feng was already waiting outside the door with his personal guards! Not long after, Baozhu and Youshi's party also came over. Xiao Que'er and Xiangling had obviously also heard the news, and brought Xiao Jixiang and a few other maids to watch the fun.
Not long after, a eunuch came to report, "My Lord, everyone in the mansion has arrived! "
"Let Lu Feng in first, and bring in Zhang Cai who is in charge of the farm outside the city!"
A moment later, Lu Feng and Zhang Cai came in.
"Lu Feng, tell Zhang Cai what you have verified, so that I won't be accused of killing a good man by mistake!" Jia Cong said lightly.
Zhang Cai was immediately panicked when he heard this. He had been in charge of the manor outside the city for many years, and he had a lot of leverage in his hands. If it was really discovered, it would be a disaster.
The servants outside the door looked uneasy, especially the leader Lai Sheng. It seemed like the master wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys today?
Fortunately, he had made arrangements before coming here. With the respect of the Lai family in the Jia Mansion, even if he was a marquis, what could he do? Could he really punish him? At most, he would admit his mistake and the matter would be over.
