Chapter 4 — Before I lost my peace, I quietly put it away

If it weren't for Wen Ngoc Sau, I would have been secretly using the huge estates and shops in my dowry to make up for those shortfalls... Then the Marquis of Tinh Vien Palace would have long since rotted with hundreds of thousands of holes and wouldn't have had enough money to pay monthly allowances to the servants. Do you want to hand over the Marquis Palace to me to take over? I really want to try it out. When there is no more silver from me. What method would a noble and arrogant Tinh Vien Marquis like him use to maintain that ridiculous face? After the funeral is over. I have officially accepted the authority to manage the internal affairs of the Marquis Palace. First day of takeover. I immediately called the Mr. in charge of the accounts of the Marquis Palace to come to me.

“Give me a list.”

“Including all accounts for the past three years.”

“Along with all the deficits in Mother Meng's private treasury.”

I sit in the chair above. Hands nonchalantly gently plucked the lid of the tea cup. The bookkeeper is a smart person. Cold sweat continuously broke out on his forehead. He trembled and presented the books. I've only flipped through three pages. Laughed coldly. Or for Manh Nguyet Chi who is praised by everyone as "gentle, gentle, and thrifty". In order to maintain her elegant and elegant image in front of Tieu Truong Lam, she only needed to buy one painting from the previous dynasty, which would cost her a thousand taels of silver. To show off the Marquis's dignity, every holiday season, she rewards her subordinates with even more silver than the Royal Palace. Not to mention her mother's house. A group of people are like leeches sucking blood. Every three days or two, he ran to the Marquis Palace to make money, siphoning off everything.

“Madam…”

Luc Dan looked at the huge deficit on the books and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"This... Master Meng also knows how to spend money."

“When she was a housekeeper before, why were the books always balanced?”

“Because she holds the key to my dowry vault.”

I conveniently threw the notebook on the table. That year, when we got married, I willingly gave the key to my dowry warehouse to Tieu Truong Lam. As a result, he just turned around and gave it all to Manh Nguyet Chi, saying that he would let her "help manage". For the past three years. She hollowed out my dowry. Use my silver to fill the holes in the Marquis Palace. Exchange for your own reputation as "gentle and virtuous".

“Bring someone to change all the locks in my warehouse.”

“From today onwards, without my token, not a single coin will be allowed to flow out of my yard.”

I stood up. Cold eyes.

“In addition, copy all of these books into two copies.”

“One copy was sent to the old lady's hospital.”

“One copy was sent to Marquis's hospital.”

Luc Dan's eyes immediately lit up. This girl has endured resentment for three years. It's finally time to hold your head high. That afternoon. The entire Marquis palace was immediately in chaos. Tieu Truong Lam's mother, Mrs. Tieu, used her cane to rush into my hospital in anger.

“Wen Ngoc Sau!”

“You scoundrel!”

“What are you doing?”

The old lady heavily threw the book down in front of me.

"Nguyet Chi hasn't been gone for long, can't you wait and want to destroy the Marquis Palace?"

“How can there be such a large deficit on the books?”

"Best I think you were playing tricks!”

“Intentionally splashing dirty water on Nguyet Chi!”

I didn't even bother to stand up. Just raised the tea cup and gently took a sip.

“If mother doesn't believe it, just let someone investigate.”

"Each of the above expenses, whether they are used to buy calligraphy or paintings or sent to the Manh family, have clear evidence to compare."

“It hasn't been long since my daughter-in-law took over the books.”

“This pot, my daughter-in-law really can't handle it.”

Old Lady Tieu's face turned pale. Of course she knows that Manh Nguyet Chi spends money like water. But she knew better. Before, I had my dowry to support me. So she can completely pretend to be blind and deaf.

“But you can't cut all expenses!”

“Next month is the Marquis's birthday.”

“Even the silver to hold a birthday party, do you want to keep it?”
