Chapter 1284 The Widow Queen

At this moment, without Qin Wansha saying anything, all the Rong clan members present understood that there was something fishy in Uncle Rong's account books, and they also understood what Qin Wansha meant by these words.

Mrs. Rong was the first one who couldn't sit still. She never thought that what she thought Qin Wansha would ask directly would be revealed in such a way.

It would be better for Qin Wansha to confront her directly. If a quarrel breaks out, even the elders of the Rong family will step forward to persuade her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wansha was overtly praising and sarcastically speaking this time. Madam Rong became anxious and simply said the 'suggestion' provided by the third lady: "What are you talking about! Why don't I know what's going on at home?" And these incomes! Don’t blame us if you changed the account books in the past few days!”

As soon as Mrs. Rong said these words, the second lady's body also stiffened. She seemed to want to hold Mrs. Rong, but due to her sitting position and some other considerations, she couldn't move, so she had to use an anxious expression. His eyes were fixed on Mrs. Rong's back.

It's a pity that Mrs. Rong didn't have eyes behind her, so she naturally didn't notice the second lady's gaze.

However, even so, when she saw the gazes of other clan elders around her, Mrs. Rong felt a scream in her heart. She instantly understood that what she said was not the right time. Unfortunately, what she said was like a pounce. The water that goes out is difficult to collect.

Listening to Mrs. Rong's words, Qin Wansha raised her eyelids with a half-smile expression on her face: "Oh? So, step-grandma admits that our family doesn't have so much tea income?"

Mrs. Rong clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, and said with a straight face: "What a joke! What am I admitting? It's obviously a thief shouting to catch the thief! It's so ridiculous!"

However, Mrs. Rong didn't know that the more she acted like this, the more suspicion she aroused from others.

Not to mention other people, the third lady, the 'own one', was looking at Mrs. Rong and the second lady with almost disbelief.

It was her suggestion to throw the dirty water back, and the third lady knew some of Old Madam Rong's habits. Therefore, the third lady could see at a glance that Old Madam Rong was guilty, and now she understood even more. There is nothing wrong with that account book!

And in this way, it shows that the number Qin Wansha just said is also true!

Old tea costs 3,000 taels, new tea costs 4,500 taels, and special tea cakes cost 6,000 taels, adding up to a total of 13,500 taels of silver! What kind of tea is that you drink at home, and it costs so much money? !

Xu was the Third Madam's gaze that was so intense that the Second Madam lowered her head when she saw it. Old Madam Rong didn't look at the Third Madam at all and planned to just ignore it. She even blamed the Third Madam for her ignorance. Son'.

What are you doing looking at yourself with this look at this time? Isn’t this clearly telling others that you have a problem?

Mrs. Rong did not think about it. When she misappropriated money from her husband, she did not inform the third or eldest bedroom.

Qin Wansha sat on the main seat and saw the expressions of Mrs. Rong and the second and third bedrooms. The third master was still a little ignorant and didn't take it seriously. However, the second master's thoughts were much more careful and he was already low at this moment. He lowered his head, his expression unclear, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But judging from his demeanor, I'm afraid he has already guessed some of the content.

The smile on Qin Wansha's lips grew wider. She put down the account book in her hand and read the second page: "Speaking of which, when I checked the entry and exit items in the house a few days ago, I really found some 'thieves' As for Ying, let’s talk about this account book for August. This book records the inputs from various villages and shops that month were 500 taels, and the outgoings were 480 taels. However, I calculated that the outgoings were only 330 taels, which is obviously missing. More than a hundred taels, and this one.”

Following Qin Wansha's words and Qin Wansha's action of putting down the account book in her hand again, picking up the other side and continuing to open it, the cold sweat on Mrs. Rong's back had already slipped down, and her face was trembling slightly. She seemed angry, but in In the eyes of others, there is a hint of something else.

"This is Sister Huilan's income for the month she got married. Speaking of which, Sister Huilan's dowry was much larger than mine, but it's normal. After all, my sister married into a high-ranking family and was a relative of the emperor. I remember that the dowry was just The dowry amount is as much as 150,000 yuan, but what I'm curious about is, why is there an item of 50,000 yuan in this account book? When my sister got married, our house only paid out 50,000 yuan, and the rest was all. Second aunt’s dowry money? This is really a slap in the face of our uncle Rong’s house.”

As soon as Qin Wansha said this, the clan elders nearby had not yet reacted, but the third lady was the first one to become unable to sit still.

She stood up from the chair with a bang, rushed to the second lady without saying a word, slapped the second lady on the face with a big slap, and cursed loudly: "One hundred thousand taels" ? ! The total amount of your dowry when you got married was only 60,000 taels. Where did you get the 100,000 taels of silver? I know if you stole it from me! It's no good! You shameless Sangmenxing, spit out all the shadows you swallowed!"

The third lady went crazy and started beating the second lady. Naturally, the second lady would not sit back and let her fight. However, compared with the third lady who came from the military attache's family, the second lady who came from a scholarly family could not escape at all costs. The third lady’s slap.

The second master was still anxious, and he grabbed the third wife's wrist and pulled her away from the second wife, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! Stop it! Third brother, take your wife away!"

The third master also felt something was wrong at this moment. Before the Rong Bo Mansion was divided, everything was equally divided among the three sons. Now, just from the few things Qin Wansha said, there are already hundreds of thousands of taels of empty accounts. How can this be possible!

The third master snatched the third wife back from the second master and protected her behind him. For the first time, he confronted the second master in public: "Why do you let us go? Isn't this matter not clear yet? What, is the second brother guilty?! The one who manages the family's finances actually embezzled the public silver, this can be sent to the government for punishment!"

"You!" The second master didn't expect the third master to suddenly explode at this time.

In fact, he had already guessed from the reactions of his mother and wife that they must have tampered with the account books. After hearing about the large sum of money, he also understood that this matter would definitely require some compensation. However, the family matter that could have been resolved privately was suddenly turned into a "public matter" by the Third Master, which made the Second Master very angry, but helpless.
