Chapter 5: The Abacus is About to Spark



Xie Xueqing looked at her daughter's sleeping face and fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Thanks to the extra sleep, Xie Xueqing felt her mind was clear and she had an idea of ​​what to do next.

The old lady gave birth to three children in total. The eldest son was Yan Loufang, who inherited the marquis's mansion. The second son was Yan Louming, but because he was not very smart and had no outstanding talents, he finally used the connections of the Yan family to buy a small official position with money.

His wife, Ms. Ye, also came from an unprominent family. She was usually mild-tempered and never caused trouble.

As for the third son, Yan Louyu, he is uneducated and does nothing every day. He indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. His favorite place to go is the famous brothel in the capital. He can be said to be the number one playboy in the capital.

Until now, no one dares to marry here.

Because Xie Xueqing's mother's family was powerful, she was able to gain a foothold in this family with the help of her dowry after Yan Loufang faked his death.

All the expenses of this marquis' mansion are supported by her.

Behind this, of course, the support of the old lady is indispensable.

It was precisely because of this that Xie Xueqing trusted her mother-in-law so much and sent her all kinds of delicious and fun things. At the same time, she never carefully checked the money her mother-in-law spent.

Now it seems that she is really a fool.

Xie Xueqing opened the old lady's expense account book and flipped through it page by page, marking all the problematic expenses. After checking all the account books, he sorted these issues together.

Soon, Xie Xueqing discovered the trick in the expenditure.

The old lady ate one ginseng every month, which cost her five hundred taels a month. However, she owned a shop specializing in medicinal herbs, so she didn't need so much money to feed her family ginseng.

Even if you buy it outside, two or three hundred taels of silver will be enough.

She was not a girl raised in seclusion, and she was familiar with the prices of these medicinal herbs.

So, was the remaining money given to that family by the other party?

No wonder a three-year-old child can wear fifty taels of high-quality brocade, while she herself is reluctant to wear it.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Xueqing suppressed the anger in his heart and glanced at Chunyu beside him, "Please help me call the shopkeeper who is in charge of this herbal medicine shop over here."
