The Chief Justice found that the old lady was quite easy to talk to and thought she might have been deceived by her family.
This is the general's mansion. How could the gold and valuables bestowed by the emperor be stolen?
If all this was stolen, General Xiao would not be qualified to be a general with his ability.
I'm afraid it's a struggle within the family.
I also felt a little disgusted with Xiao Yuanshi and his wife.
I heard that the old lady and others sold their house and land in their hometown, were robbed on the way, and had to beg for food all the way to the capital to see their son.
The other party actually deceived the old lady in this way.
But he didn't say much.
Since the higher-ups ordered a thorough investigation, he would just do it.
He ordered someone to take away the manager and related personnel guarding the warehouse.
Ge Chunru couldn't help but turn pale. She didn't expect these people to be so fast.
It's a pity that the general has gone out of town on business. She has asked people to look for him as soon as possible, but it seems it's too late.
So he greeted her with a smile, "Is there any misunderstanding?"
The old lady hated the foxy girl even more when she saw her smiling face.
I couldn't help but wanted to go forward and spit, but was stopped by Wu.
Wu whispered, "Mother, cry!"
Shi Qingluo had said before that in front of outsiders, the old lady had to act like a kind mother and a good mother-in-law, and must not be mean to the two of them.
She didn't take it seriously at first, but after arriving in the capital and seeing the methods used by this little bitch Ge Chunru, she felt that it made so much sense.
After being reminded of this, the old lady also remembered that she had to play the role of a mother-in-law well.
I got so used to trimming my little hoof recently that I almost exposed myself in front of people.
This vixen must have done it on purpose to ruin her reputation in front of outsiders.
So he wiped his eyes with his sleeves, which he had dipped in ginger juice, and tears immediately came out.
She looked at Ge Chunru and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Do you think it was me, your mother-in-law, who took the money and other things out of the storehouse?"
"Before, you insisted on letting me be the housekeeper, saying that the family hasn't been divided yet, and I still have to help you keep an eye on the backyard."
"I saw that your housekeeper was spending too much money, and my son's becoming a general was not easy, so I reluctantly agreed."
"But the housekeeper later discovered that the money in the treasury might not be right, and the valuables were missing."
"I'm afraid it will be stolen. With such a large general's mansion and so many people to support, what will we do in the future?"
"You actually said it was a misunderstanding right after you came here. Are you blaming me, your mother-in-law, for meddling in your affairs?"
She even showed a look of being hurt by her daughter-in-law, "Woo woo, then I don't care, just steal the silver and valuables."
This left Ge Chunru completely stunned.
What happened to this old lady? She actually did this to her.
And it's complete nonsense. When did they take the initiative to ask her to be the housekeeper?
The old woman is so shameless.
The key question is when did you become so smart?
Is it pretending to be stupid in the countryside?
How will others view the old lady after she cries and confuses right and wrong like this?
Sure enough, Ge Chunru discovered that the Tingwei and others looked at her with disapproval.
She immediately brought up Xiao Yuanshi, "How could I blame my mother? The general is not here, and I'm afraid that if the warehouse matter is not clarified, there will be misunderstandings, and this gentleman will make a wasted trip."
Old Mrs. Xiao suddenly didn't know how to respond, so she gave Mrs. Wu a subtle look.
Wu rolled her eyes and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is your fault."
"How can we lose the gift given by the Emperor?"
"Mother asked the governor of Kyoto to investigate, but it's all for your own good. Otherwise, the general would be held responsible for dereliction of duty."
"You actually blame me for meddling in your business."
"You took the initiative to suggest that mother be the housekeeper at the beginning, what do you mean now?"
"If you don't want to give up the housekeeping power, then just say it directly. I'm not the kind of unreasonable mother-in-law."
Old Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears and said, "Yes, if you don't want me to be your housekeeper, just tell me and I will give it back to you immediately."
He then copied what Shi Qing had written on the letter, looked at Old Man Xiao with a sad face and said, "Old man, since my wife doesn't like us in this general's mansion, why don't we go back to our hometown?"
But the girl said that if she wanted to stay, she had to stand on the commanding heights and turn the tables.
Let people know that they are not going to stay in the General's Mansion.
By then, these two beasts will have to beg them to stay, otherwise the spit of people outside will drown them.
Old Master Xiao was also sad about what his son and daughter-in-law did.
Although they are a little biased, they have never let the second child starve or freeze since he was a child! He couldn't help but show a bit of disappointment and sadness on his face, "Okay, if they don't welcome us, let's go back home."
It doesn't look like either of them wants to stay in the General's Mansion.
Wang was anxious, "Dad and Mom, our house and land have all been sold, and our money and luggage have been stolen. How can we go back?"
Old Lady Xiao said with great courage: "Go back and beg for food. We came to the capital to beg for food anyway."
"Once you get to the village, borrow some money from the tribesmen and rent a house. You can go out and work for others. I don't believe you can't survive."
The old man also made the decision and said, "Yes, let's go back. Since they despise us, we won't stay in this general's mansion anymore."
Hearing these people talking one after another and making something that never happened, Ge Chunru was so angry that he wanted to faint on the spot.
In the past, she was good at using such tricks.
They never thought that one day they would be used by the people in these old houses to disgust them and their husband.
What do you mean she doesn't welcome them? What do you mean she doesn't care about the general's mansion?
Does that mean she wants to make the general be held accountable for his dereliction of duty? I wonder who called the governor of Kyoto.
These people are so hateful and they are too much.
She burst into tears and said, "No, how could I dislike my parents-in-law? I wish you could stay in the general's mansion forever so that the general and I can be filial to you."
Old Mrs. Xiao also wiped her tears and cried even louder, "You are right, we wanted to go back ourselves."
She even deliberately said to the court official: "We really wanted to go back on our own, it has nothing to do with my daughter-in-law."
Huh, who can't act?
Ge Chunru: "..." Why didn't the old lady point at her and scold her like before? Now she really hoped that the old lady would slap her in public.
But this damn old woman is so good at acting that it drives her crazy.
The more she said this, the more it seemed like she was forcing her to do it.
She was just about to explain to the Chief Justice when he spoke first.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, since the old lady and others have reported the case and we adults have accepted it, we must investigate it thoroughly."
He said meaningfully: "After all, this involves the gift from His Majesty, so we can't be careless."
"Madam General, you should focus more on honoring your parents-in-law."
Judging from the appearance of the old lady and the old man, they are just honest villagers, and they look like they are trying to cover up for their daughter-in-law.
This general's wife is really not a good person.
Then, without listening to Ge Chunru, he took the warehouse manager and others away with him.
