The maid immediately replied, "Your Highness, the accountant has left the Duke of Jingguo's residence due to family matters."
"Ran away?" Princess Jiahua sneered, glancing at the maid. The maid felt her scalp tingle under her gaze and quickly lowered her head.
"Then you must have the account book, right?" Princess Jiahua's fingertips tapped on the table, and Xiushu placed the dowry list on the table. Half of it was crossed out, a small part was given to Song Hengchuan as betrothal gifts, and the remaining estates, shops, and about 70% of them were still there.
The meaning is clear: these items should be returned to their rightful owners.
The old lady glanced at it and her lips trembled. In order to make Song Hengchuan's marriage possible, her treasury was almost empty, and the books were also in a loss. There was really no extra money to give to Princess Jiahua.
He stammered and couldn't give a coherent answer; the old lady wished she could just faint.
How did I end up provoking such a jinx?
"Bang!"
Princess Jia Hua slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
The loud noise startled the lady, who nearly lost her balance and fell. She looked at the other person with a pale face.
"Most of these shops have already lost money," the old lady said, forcing herself to speak.

Yuan Fuling, standing behind him, stared wide-eyed in horror.
Fill it in with a board?
She couldn't pay for this even if she had ten lives.
“Princess, business has its ups and downs. Yuan Shi has had a tough time these past years. If it weren’t for her support, the Duke’s mansion might not be where it is today.” The Duke of Jing softened his voice and spoke kindly.
Princess Jiahua pointed at the Duke of Jingguo's nose: "Do you dare to guarantee for the Yuan family that these are all losing deals, or that they are being cheated on?"
The atmosphere was as if if the Duke of Jingguo dared to speak, and if it was found out, the blame would fall on him!
The Duke of Jingguo moved his lips, but remained silent for a moment.
He dared not gamble.
They also knew that Princess Jia Hua wasn't just joking; she could really kill people.
