Chapter 277 Stewardship Deprived



The account that Ge Chunru was secretly using now was the twenty thousand taels he took out from his own private collection after the old lady and others went to the northern frontier.

It is to continue to maintain the expenses of the General's Mansion.

But I really didn't expect that after such a short period of time, Ge Chunru had already spent all his money.

The key is that there is also an income of several thousand silver coins every month from the farm, fields and shops.

Originally, these alone were enough to cover the expenses of the General's Mansion, with some left over.

But she used it all to support her younger brothers and sisters from her mother's family.

Tao Liu didn't expect Ge Chunru to be so bold that he almost emptied the money of the general's mansion.

She was also very heartbroken at this moment. After all, she had always believed that this general's mansion would belong to her and her future children.

So he looked at Ge Chunru in disbelief, "Madam, how could you do this?"

"The property of the General's Mansion was earned by the General at the cost of his life on the battlefield."

"Our General's Mansion is originally just a new noble family in the capital, and our foundation is weaker than those aristocratic families."

"If you empty the general's mansion and give it to your mother's family, you will need to spend a large sum of money in the future. If the general cannot take it out, how will his colleagues in the court look at him?"

"I really envy you, Madam, for meeting such a good general. He will still tolerate you even if you do such a thing."

"If it was any other lady who gave so much to her parents, she would have been divorced long ago."

"I am so glad that I met the general. He is so kind, and you are still so angry with him. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Ge Chunru saw that Xiao Yuanshi was already angry, but the bitch Tao Liu deliberately added fuel to the fire.

She couldn't help it, and yelled with a sullen face: "Shut up."

Xiao Yuanshi had already listened to Tao Liu's words.

He asked with a dark face: "Ge Chunru, what do you want?"

Ge Chunru hurriedly cried and tried to pull him back, "I won't do that again, don't be angry."

Tao Liu said on the side: "Where will the General's Mansion have the money to subsidize in the future."

With a worried look on her face, she supported Xiao Yuanshi and said, "General, I still have a lot of jewelry. You can pawn them all and then give the monthly allowances to the maids and servants in the mansion."

"Otherwise, if they go out and say that the General's Office has withheld your monthly allowance, or even failed to pay it, I'm afraid your colleagues will gossip about you behind your back."

It's like, for you, I'm willing to give everything.

This is in stark contrast to Ge Chunru.

One of them was sick and still said that he wanted all his belongings to be given to him to fill the hole in the general's mansion.

He used most of the money he earned from risking his life on the battlefield to subsidize his younger brothers and sisters from his mother's side.

This made Xiao Yuanshi feel very uncomfortable.

"No, the General's Mansion is not so poor that we have to use your dowry to subsidize it."

He looked at Ge Chunru with disappointment in his eyes, "It seems that you are not able to manage this family well."

"From today on, you will hand over all the account books to Liu Ru, and she will be the manager of the household from now on."

Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief, "What? You're actually going to deprive me of my housekeeper rights and give them to this bitch?"

Tao Liu was delighted in her heart, but her face was filled with fear. "General, Madam didn't mean to subsidize her family, so don't be angry. Let her keep the housekeeper's power."

"Just tell her not to give money to her parents anymore in the future."

When Xiao Yuanshi heard this, he made the decision directly, "She didn't mean it, she did it on purpose."

"It's settled. You'll be the housekeeper from now on."

Before, Ge Chunru secretly subsidized Ge Chunyi with 30,000 taels of silver, and he had told about her.

She promised not to do that again.

If Ge Chunru continues to be in charge, the name of this general's mansion will really change from Xiao to Ge.

Seeing Xiao Yuanshi make the decision angrily, Tao Liu no longer pretended to refuse and angered him.

So he reached out and smoothed his chest, "Don't be angry, I'll take care of it."

"When you are no longer angry, I will return it to you, Madam."

He looked as if he wanted to give Xiao Yuanshi a way out.

Ge Chunru was furious, "Don't pretend to be kind, you've obviously been thinking about Guan Jiaquan for a long time."

Tao Liu's face turned even paler. "I didn't. I never thought about it at all."

"General, why don't you let your wife take care of it? Otherwise, she will misunderstand you and affect the relationship between you two."

With a look of reluctance and reluctant concession, he said, "How about you send me to the farm?"

Xiao Yuanshi was extremely disappointed with Ge Chunru at this moment. Even now, he still did not repent.

"She can misunderstand if she wants."

"Since she can't manage this family, let someone who is capable take care of it."

He looked at Tao Liu and said, "Since you don't want to make me angry anymore, take over the management, recover from your illness quickly, and manage this household as well."

Tao Liu then reluctantly nodded, "I care, but you must not be angry anymore, it's harmful to your health."

Xiao Yuanshi felt warmed in the heart, because only Liu Ru was always concerned about his health.

Then he shook off Ge Chunru's hand that was pulling his sleeve and said to Tao Liu, "Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."

He didn't care about Ge Chunru who was crying behind him, and he hugged his concubine and left.

Ge Chunru's body went limp and she sat on the ground crying loudly.

How could Xiao Yuanshi treat her like this, this bastard.

Without the power of housekeeper, how can she control the general's mansion?

She would never let that bitch Tao Liu go.

Xiao Yuanshi took Tao Liu to see the court physician, and asked one of his personal followers to tell the housekeeper that Ge Chunru would no longer be in charge of the household.

At the same time, he took out five thousand taels from his private pocket and asked the housekeeper to pay half of the monthly salary owed from last month and pay the full amount of this month's salary in advance.

The rest is used for other expenses.

He felt that nothing was going well for him recently and he was already feeling overwhelmed, and his wife Ge Chunru came to cause him more trouble.

When he thought about how so much money and things were all taken by Ge Chunru to subsidize her brothers and sisters from her mother's family, he felt his heart bleeding.

So he ordered people to go to the Northern Frontier again and find a way to cheat the 30,000 taels back from the people of Old Xiao's family.

If Ge Chunyi had not married into the Second Prince's mansion, he would have wanted Ge Chunru to find her sister and get back the subsidy money and the farm.

A few days later, Xiao Hanzheng and his family arrived in the capital.

Mr. Hou also returned to Beijing with him.

However, this time the family did not live in Mr. Hou's house, but moved into a courtyard that Xiao Hanzheng had already bought.

I will be staying for a long time this time, so I don’t want to disturb the teacher all the time.

Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng not only bought a yard, but also bought several manors in the suburbs whose prices would increase in the future.

He listened to his young wife and bought a lot of land to grow corn and peppers.

Corn and peppers were not popular in the next few years, so the prices must have been good.
