Chapter 27 Chu Mu's continuous questioning made the old lady angry
"Brother Mu, Jiaojiao is fine. It's just that Sister Shen can't embarrass others just because she's angry with Jiaojiao. Brother Mu let Sister take charge of the family power, not to let her abuse her power. It's all Jiaojiao's fault. Sister is resentful because of Jiaojiao being punished. Brother Mu, you should persuade Sister to stop making things difficult for the old lady and Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. Jiaojiao will go and apologize to her."
Lin Jiaojiao had a righteous look on her face and was about to stand up and move forward.
The old lady held Lin Jiaojiao's hand tightly.
Looking at Chen Zhao, "Mu'er, look at where Shen has driven Jiaojiao! If Jiaojiao's brother knew what she'd been through in our house, how heartbroken he would be."
The Second Madam also spoke at the right time: "Why do you have to do this, sister-in-law? You bully Miss Lin, a weak woman. You use despicable means to cut the expenses of each courtyard to force Miss Lin to apologize to you. How can you be so cruel?"
Chu Mu's eyes widened.
Is this the same thing?
First of all, he really didn't push Lin Jiaojiao.
Secondly, he reduced the expenses of various departments not to abuse his power for personal gain, nor to take revenge on anyone.
They simply spent too much.
These are two different things how can they be confused?
Chen Zhao silently gave Lin Jiaojiao a thumbs up. Well done, great job, great white lotus of the prosperous age. Keep up your stable performance and let your brother Mu feel the "love" from you.
Her face turned cold, and she followed Chu Mu's previous practice and stopped Lin Jiaojiao from standing up.
"Jiaojiao, you are weak, take a good rest. It's her fault, you don't need to apologize to her."
Lin Jiaojiao's pretty face flushed, and she looked at Chen Zhao with seductive eyes, and said "hmm" shyly, "Jiaojiao knows, brother Mu~, Jiaojiao really doesn't care, as long as sister doesn't care, even if she suffers some grievances, Jiaojiao is willing."
The more generous she acted, the more Brother Mu hated the Shen family.
This was the first time that Brother Mu called her Jiaojiao instead of Miss Lin.
Brother Mu has her in his heart. He treated her like that in the morning only because he was instigated by that bitch Shen.
Lin Jiaojiao proudly gave Chu Mu a provocative look.
Chu Mu was stunned. This scene looked so familiar to him.
This scene often happened in the mansion.
Was Ah Zhao like he is now, unable to defend himself and unable to argue?
He deeply felt A Zhao's helplessness.
It was Ah Zhao who was clearly framed and had no way to express his suffering.
He was like a person whose brain was left in the military camp. He never listened to A Zhao's explanation and convicted A Zhao based on a few words from others.
If he hadn't experienced it personally today, he would never have believed that his second sister-in-law, Lin Jiaojiao and others could frame Ah Zhao again and again.
Distort the facts.
"That's not the case. I didn't push Miss Lin, and there are reasons for reducing the expenses of each hospital."
Shen Zhao snorted coldly: “Shen Shi can’t make any sense today, not only must you restore the expenses of each courtyard, but you must also apologize to everyone!”
Chu Mu smiled gratefully at Shen Zhao.
He was grateful that she didn't even give him a chance to explain like he had done in the past.
The more he thought about this, the more guilty and distressed he felt towards A Zhao.
How disappointed Ah Zhao had been in the past!
Once he explains it clearly, his mother will understand him and know that he is not abusing his power for personal gain but is just speaking the truth.
He also firmly believed that his mother acted like this simply because she did not understand the truth.
After all, my mother is old and doesn't think things through as carefully as before.
"Mother, twenty taels of silver is enough to cover the expenses of the various courtyards in the mansion for a month. Mother, don't you always teach your children and grandchildren to be frugal? Mother, do you know that twenty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year?
In addition, the meals for each courtyard in the mansion are paid for by the public treasury. These twenty taels are only the expenses of the masters of each courtyard. The clothes for the four seasons are all paid for by the public treasury. There is no need to spend money there.
Shanjun and Shanan were studying at the National Academy, so why did they carry so much silver? They were there to study, not to compete with others.
Miss Lin is weak, and there are doctors and pharmacies in the mansion. The money for medicine and food is also paid by the family. Miss Lin doesn't leave the mansion often, so why is twenty taels of silver not enough for her expenses? "
Chu Mu paused and looked at Lin Jiaojiao, saying disapprovingly: "And Miss Lin, do you know how much rice and grain one hundred taels of silver can buy, and how many lives of poor people it can save? In the future, if Miss Lin has a heartache and can't eat, don't withdraw one hundred taels of silver from the public treasury to order food at Jinyulou.
I have instructed the accountant that from now on the expenses of each courtyard shall not exceed twenty taels per month.
The General's Mansion cannot afford such a huge expense. Miss Lin, if you have no appetite next time, you might as well skip two meals. I guarantee you will want to eat everything you see."
Everyone gasped, and even the old lady tightened her grip on Lin Jiaojiao's hand.
They never knew that Lin Jiaojiao would withdraw one hundred taels of silver from the public treasury just to have a delicious meal.
He didn't even dare to think about how much money she had wasted in the mansion.
The old lady looked at Shen with even more disgust. Was she a piece of wood? She allowed Lin Jiaojiao to waste the family's money like this without saying a word or stopping her.
Lin Jiaojiao's face turned pale in an instant, especially because the old lady's grip on her hand was so painful.
The force was so strong that it seemed as if he was going to break her hand.
And the look in my second sister-in-law's eyes was so scary, as if she wanted to eat her.
She was spending Brother Mu's money, so why did Second Sister-in-law look at her like that?
Chu Mu said this without even looking at Lin Jiaojiao's pale face or everyone's reactions. He looked at his mother again and said seriously:
"Mother, do you know how much the general's salary is each month? How much do the various shops in the general's mansion earn each month? How much does the mansion's expenses cost each month? Mother, have you ever calculated this? Is the general's mansion's income enough to cover these expenses?
Where does this extra expense come from, mother? Does she know?"
When asking this question, Chu Mu felt even more guilty.
In the past, he didn't know that the expenses of each courtyard were so high. He knew that A Zhao would use her dowry to subsidize the public school.
But he didn't know she subsidized so much.
The bulk of the expenses were paid by A Zhao. His meager salary and the family's meager property were simply not enough to support the family's expenses.
Listening to Chu Mu's explanation and questioning, Shen Zhao couldn't help but applaud.
How could these jackals not know?
They knew that the general's wealth was not enough for them to squander, but they still spent money like water.
All the blood he sucked was Shen's.
The old lady's face had already turned pale under Chu Mu's questioning.
Is this bitch Shen really that bold today?
How dare he question her like this in front of Mu'er!
He couldn't help but hold Lin Jiaojiao's hand tighter.
Lin Jiaojiao trembled with pain.
How can this old woman be so strong?
It must be so painful for her.
She couldn't cry out in pain, let alone pull her hand out of the dead old woman's hand. She could only bite her lips and endure it.
But the look she gave Chu Mu became even more unfriendly.
Why did Shen, that little bitch, contradict the old woman for no reason? Why couldn't she just endure it silently like she used to, making her suffer with her?
She must make her look good.
Chu Jieren, who was listening on the side, couldn't sit still anymore. What happened to this little whore today?
What a crazy beating! He is still in pain from the beating, and now he is determined to withhold his money. How can this be allowed?
The third brother has always respected him, the second brother, the most. Today, he will make the little whore pay for it.
Said to Shen Zhao:
"This is the opposite of Tian Gang. Third brother, look at what Shen Shi is like. Did mother say anything? Look at how she is questioning mother with sharp words. Who has such an unfilial daughter-in-law in the family?
If you don't take care of her, there will be no way for mother and the rest of us to survive in this mansion. Look at me... look at my face, it was also beaten by Shen Shi."
As he spoke, he removed the cloth from his face that was made of the same material as his robe.
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
