The emperor rolled his eyes unconsciously. He would not believe it, just because of such a small matter?
And Rong Baichuan is not a good person.
It's okay if you don't provoke him, but once you get on him, it's like a dog-skin plaster that you can't get rid of.
Back then, he wanted to marry Qin Nanjing, but Qin Taifu disagreed, even after he had military merits.
Later I heard that Qin Taifu really hated taking up the post of Imperial Censor.
So he stayed in the Censorate all day long and ate three meals a day on the wall of the Censorate.
Three months later, the second son of the Imperial Censor was finally caught secretly executing servants and humiliating and abusing maids.
No less than twenty bodies were buried in the back garden of the Censorate, including women and children from decent families.
He immediately led his men to surround the Censorate's Mansion and caught the criminal red-handed.
Then he gave all the functions to Qin Taifu.
Anyone can see that this is an attempt to please the future father-in-law.
So this time, what will he do next to bring Zhao Zhang down completely?
According to the royal spies, Zhao Zhang has no other bad qualities except his lust.
His sons and daughters also kept the law.
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will go home. My family is waiting for us to have dinner together." Rong Baichuan made an excuse to leave.
Of course he would not tell the emperor that Zhao Zhang had already joined the eldest prince's team.
Moreover, the money that the eldest prince used to force the emperor to abdicate and raise troops three years later was all stolen from the national treasury by Zhao Zhang.
…
The emperor came all the way to Fengchen Palace.
The queen was preparing ingredients for lunch. She would cook for her mistress personally every once in a while.
When the emperor turned around and sat down, the queen opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then her expression became strange.
Suddenly he thought of something, which turned into a chuckle.
"The Emperor seems to be in a good mood today... He even has flowers in his hair."
It was definitely not him who put the flower on the back of his head, so the only one who dared to do this was Rong Baichuan.
The emperor reached behind his head and removed the camellia sasanqua. He looked at Fuling blankly, "Did I walk all this way wearing this flower?"
Fuling nodded carefully.
When Lord Rong was putting the crown on the emperor, he wanted to stop him but was stopped.
"Rong! Bai! Chuan!"
Rong Baichuan had already left the palace and could not hear the emperor's roar.
…
The new general's mansion has been built, and Qin Nanjing has arranged for people to move most of the gold and silver that can be moved there.
Before the family leaves the Annan Marquis Mansion, there is one more thing to deal with.
That is to make them spit out their mother-in-law's dowry.
Before this, Rong Baichuan had gone to the government office to copy a list of Gu Yan's dowry when she got married.
After several days of secret liquidation, half of the gold and silver had been used up and all the shops had closed down.
Now there is only one storefront there.
However, Rong Qi Wang actually operated shops of the same number and type.
When Mrs. Hou took over Gu Yan's dowry, she began to work on changing the property owner.
Fifteen years ago, all the shops were legally transferred to Rong Qiwang's name.
It is common for shops to go bankrupt due to poor management. Even if Rong Baichuan wants it back, he can only get a dilapidated empty shop.
However, the deeds and property rights to all the shops, fields and farms disappeared.
They couldn't touch these properties.
In addition to these, there are decorative objects, porcelain vases and antiques in the mansion.
After sorting out all the names, the elders of the clan are also rushing to Kyoto City.
Once a man gets married and has children, he can move out of the house. The clan elders did not say anything and started the process directly. However, disagreements arose when it came to dividing the family property.
The old marquis has nothing to his name!
"This..." The clan elder looked confused.
The old marquis had actually registered all the family property in the name of his second son, and now all that could be divided was two thousand taels of silver from the mansion treasury.
In this wealthy family, food, clothing, housing, transportation, servants to guard the house, and all the other necessities would not be enough for a month.
"Old Marquis, you are so biased. I'm afraid it's inappropriate..." The elder's face darkened.
Even the royal family pays attention to the order of seniority.
I have never seen a family treat their eldest son so harshly.
Marquis Annan's mind is set on the west.
Marquis Annan did not expect that everything in the family was in the hands of the second wife.
He usually doesn't care about family matters. He just wants to make money.
"Those...those were all earned by Qi Wang himself. No...I didn't transfer them to him..."
The more he talked, the more guilty he felt. He still couldn't understand where those shops came from.
At that time, the Marquis's Mansion had nothing, and the Marquis's wife came to seek refuge with no money at all.
Now all the food expenses in the mansion are earned from the rent of the shops and fields that Gu Yan brought as her dowry.
"It's okay." Qin Nanjing stood up and walked to the middle with an abacus and an account book.
"I found out from the household account books how much money my second brother used when he first opened the shop."
Mrs. Hu suddenly grabbed the armrest of the armchair. She locked the account book in her room. How did Qin Nanjing get it?
He turned and glared at the maid Zilan.
Zi Lan shook her head in horror. Usually, only the Second Madam looked at that account book. It was clearly locked tightly, and the key was still with her.
The eldest wife's warehouse has indeed been counted these days, but they are all the eldest lady's private warehouse.
She never even asked about the storehouse in the mansion.
Crackling...
Qin Nanjing was fiddling with the abacus on the spot.
"My second brother owns eleven shops, and the total cost of opening them was three million five hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver."
"And all this money went into my late mother-in-law's dowry, not even the revenue from the bankrupt shop..."
The words "driven into bankruptcy" were deliberately emphasized.
The old man looked at the old lady. She had done so many things over the years.
