Hearing this, Lambert said with certainty: "Miss, there are serious problems with these account books!"
Shen Ningyuan stopped drinking tea and asked, "For example?"
"Someone is transferring the silver." Lambert directly pointed out the most critical point.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yin and Lu Ying were surprised.
Lan Yin looked at Lan Bo nervously, "Dad, this matter is of great importance. Don't say anything without evidence."
Lan Bo stopped talking and looked at Shen Ningyuan quietly, waiting for her decision.
At this moment, there was no surprise on Shen Ningyuan's face.
Obviously, she knew early on that someone in the Marquis' Mansion was transferring money.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Ningyuan continued to ask: "Preliminary estimate, how much silver will be transferred every month?"
Lanber frowned, "About fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Fifty thousand taels?" Lu Ying exclaimed, "That's too much!"
She had never seen so much silver in her life.
Shen Ningyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
The preliminary estimate is 50,000 taels.
In fact, it will be more.
She couldn't imagine how much money the Ji family had cheated her out of in the year since she married into the Marquis' Mansion!
But it doesn't matter, she will get the money back one by one!
Seeing Shen Ningyuan frown, Lan Bo explained in detail: "The money that was transferred away not only includes expenses for the Marquis' Mansion, but also some foreign debts that have no detailed records, and even money taken directly from the shop's account. There are problems with every one of them."
"Yeah, I understand."
Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Bo with satisfaction.
Just by taking a casual look, you will find problems with the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion.
Now that the account books of the Marquis' Mansion were in Lanbo's hands, she could rest assured.
Shen Ningyuan said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, the account office of the Marquis' Mansion will be under the management of Lan Bo from now on. If the people below don't obey, you can deal with it as you please. If you really can't handle it, come to me."
"Miss, you want me to manage the accounting office?" Lambert asked in surprise.
"Yes." Shen Ningyuan nodded.
"Miss, do you trust me so much?"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Yin and smiled, "I trust Lan Yin, so I naturally trust Lan Bo."
Lan Bo was delighted. "I will do my best to serve you, young lady!"
"Yeah." Shen Ningyuan nodded and continued, "By the way, there are a few things I need to explain to Lanber first."
"Speak frankly, young lady!"
"All expenses for the funeral in the next few days will be paid from the Marquis's account. Do not use my personal account."
"good."
"There are some funds for supporting the side branches of the Marquisate, but you don't have to pay them."
"In short, my money, except for all expenses in Xiyuanju, cannot be used for other purposes." Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Bo and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Lambert nodded quickly, "I understand. I will follow your instructions, Miss!"
"Okay, from now on, this accounting office will be handed over to Lambert."
After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left the accounting office.
Luying hurriedly followed and left with Shen Ningyuan.
Lan Yin walked up to Lan Bo and asked in a low voice, "Dad, can you handle this accounting?"
Lan Bo rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You little girl, you're underestimating your father, aren't you? Your father passed the imperial examination, after all. How can he not handle something as simple as this?"
Even so, Lan Yin still said worriedly, "I'm not looking down on Dad, but the Marquis' Mansion is different from the outside world. This family is so ruthless, they're all eyeing the young lady and her dowry. I hope Dad can take charge of the account office and help the young lady share the burden as much as possible!"
Hearing this, Lan Bo was greatly shocked. He turned his gaze to the direction where Shen Ningyuan left and murmured, "Yin'er means that the young lady wants to..."
Lan Yin nodded, "Yes, that's what Dad thinks."
Lan Yin waved at Lan Bo and said, "Dad, I'm going to find the young lady first. I'll leave the accounting matters to you!"
"Yeah, go ahead."
…
On the way back to Xiyuanju, Shen Ningyuan was still thinking about the account problem.
She really didn't expect that in just one year, the Marquis' Mansion had cheated her out of nearly 600,000 taels of silver.
This does not include the money she usually spends on the marquis's mansion and its branches.
As expected, greed is the key to success.
When a person's appetite grows, they will only want more.
Shen Ningyuan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice that the three of them had already walked to the back garden.
"Miss, it's the Second Young Master."
Lan Yin's voice pulled Shen Ningyuan out of her thoughts.
When they looked up, they saw Ji Yunnuo blocking the only intersection, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Miss, the second young master blocked our way. It looks like he did it on purpose." Lan Yin said again.
Shen Ningyuan nodded and looked at Ji Yunnuo levelly.
Lu Ying frowned and said, "Miss, the Second Young Master has no intention of leaving. I will go and tell him."
As she spoke, Green Warbler was about to walk over.
"No need." Shen Ningyuan stopped Luying, "You guys stay here, the second young master and I have something to say."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan walked straight to the pavilion in the corner of the back garden.
Ji Yunnuo guessed what she was thinking and also walked towards the pavilion.
The two looked at each other in the pavilion, and Shen Ningyuan sat down first.
Seeing her calm expression, Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but smile faintly and sat opposite Shen Ningyuan.
"Are you blocking me here on purpose?"
As soon as Ji Yunnuo sat down, Shen Ningyuan asked straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law is really smart." Ji Yunnuo smiled faintly and said, "I have to say, as a woman, sister-in-law is so calm that it scares me sometimes. She knows she is in a den of wolves, but not only can she deal with it calmly, she also saves a few lives."
