Chapter 98: Because You Are a Member of the Ji Family
Hearing this, Lambert said with certainty: "Miss, there are big problems with these account books!"
Shen Ningyuan stopped drinking tea and asked, "For example?"
"Someone is transferring the silver." Lambert pointed out the most critical point directly.
Hearing this, Lan Yin and Lu Ying were surprised.
Lan Yin looked at Lan Bo nervously, "Dad, this matter is of great importance. Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."
Lan Bo didn't say anything else, just looked at Shen Ningyuan quietly, waiting for her decision.
At this moment, there was no surprise on Shen Ningyuan's face.
Obviously, she knew early on that someone in the Marquis' Mansion was transferring money.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Ningyuan continued to ask: "Preliminary estimate, how much silver will be transferred every month?"
Lanber frowned, "About fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Fifty thousand taels?" Lu Ying exclaimed, "This is too much!"
She had never seen so much silver in her life.
Shen Ningyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
According to preliminary estimates, there are 50,000 taels.
In fact, only more.
She couldn't imagine how much money the Ji family had cheated her out of in the year since she married into the Marquis' Mansion!
But it doesn't matter, she will get the money back one by one!
Seeing Shen Ningyuan frowning, Lan Bo explained in detail: "The silver that was transferred not only includes the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion, but also some foreign debts that were not recorded in detail, and even money taken directly from the shop's account. There are problems with every sum."
"Yes, I understand."
Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Bo with satisfaction.
Just by taking a casual look, you will find problems with the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion.
Now that the account books of the Marquis' Mansion were in Lanbo's hands, she could rest assured.
Chen Ningyuan said in a deep voice, "In this case, the account office of the Marquis' Mansion will be under the management of Lan Bo from now on. If the people below are disobedient, you can deal with them at will. If you really can't handle it, you can come to me."
"Miss, you want me to manage the accounting office?" Lambert asked in surprise.
"Yes." Shen Ningyuan nodded.
"Miss, do you trust me so much?"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Yin and smiled, "I trust Lan Yin, so I naturally trust Lan Bo."
Lanber looked delighted, "I will do my best to serve you, young lady!"
"Yeah." Shen Ningyuan nodded and continued, "By the way, there are a few things I need to explain to Lan Bo first."
"Miss, just speak up!"
"In the next few days, all expenses for the funeral will be paid from the Marquis's account. Do not pay from my personal account."
"good."
"There is a little money to support the side branches of the Marquisate, so you don't have to pay it out."
"In short, my money, except for all the expenses of Xiyuanju, cannot be used anywhere else." Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Bo, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Lanber nodded quickly, "I understand. I will follow your instructions, Miss!"
"Okay, from now on, this account office will be handed over to Lambert."
After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left the accounting office.
Luying hurriedly followed and left with Shen Ningyuan.
Lan Yin walked up to Lan Bo and asked in a low voice: "Dad, can you handle this account?"
Lan Bo rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You little girl, you underestimate your father, don't you? Your father is a scholar after all, can't he even handle such a small matter?"
Even so, Lan Yin still said worriedly: "I'm not looking down on Dad, but the Marquis' Mansion is different from the outside world. This family is wicked and they are all eyeing the young lady and her dowry. I hope Dad can take charge of the account office and help the young lady share the burden as much as possible!"
Hearing this, Lan Bo was greatly shocked. He turned his gaze to the direction where Shen Ningyuan left and murmured, "Yin'er means that the young lady wants to..."
Lan Yin nodded, "Yes, that's what Dad thought."
Lan Yin waved at Lan Bo and said, "Dad, I'm going to find Miss first. I'll leave the accountant's business to you!"
"Yeah, go ahead."
…
On the way back to Xiyuanju, Shen Ningyuan was still thinking about the account problem.
She really didn't expect that in just one year, the Marquis's Mansion had cheated her out of nearly 600,000 taels of silver.
This does not include the money she usually spends on the marquis's mansion and its branches.
As expected, greed is the key to success.
When a person's appetite grows, they will only want more.
Shen Ningyuan was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice that the three of them had already walked to the back garden.
"Miss, it's the Second Young Master."
Lan Yin's voice pulled Shen Ningyuan out of her thoughts.
When they looked up, they saw Ji Yunnuo blocking the only intersection, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Miss, the second young master blocked our way. It looks like he did it on purpose." Lan Yin said again.
Shen Ningyuan nodded and looked at Ji Yunnuo levelly.
Luying frowned and said, "Miss, the Second Young Master has no intention of leaving. I will go and tell him."
As she spoke, Green Warbler was about to walk over.
"No need." Chen Ningyuan stopped Luying, "You guys stay here, the second young master and I have something to say."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan walked straight to the pavilion in the corner of the back garden.
Ji Yunnuo guessed what she was thinking and walked towards the pavilion.
The two looked at each other in the pavilion, and Shen Ningyuan sat down first.
Seeing her calm expression, Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but smile faintly and sat opposite Shen Ningyuan.
"Are you blocking me here on purpose?"
As soon as Ji Yunnuo sat down, Shen Ningyuan asked straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law is really smart." Ji Yunnuo smiled faintly and said, "I have to say, as a woman, sister-in-law is so calm that it scares me sometimes. Knowing that she is in a wolf's den, she can not only deal with it calmly, but also save a few lives."
"What do you want to say?" Shen Ningyuan asked calmly.
"I just feel a little sad. My sister-in-law seems to be different from ordinary women."
Ji Yunnuo said, looking at the lake not far away, and continued: "For example, here, sister-in-law was here two days ago and drowned Ji Yunhuan. Now she can pass by here calmly. Sister-in-law, are you really not afraid that Ji Yunhuan's wronged ghost will come to you to claim your life?"
After hearing Ji Yunnuo's words, Shen Ningyuan sneered twice.
"Ghost? Claiming my life? Hehehe..."
Seeing this, Ji Yunnuo frowned, "Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you for looking deep, but actually being naive and ridiculous." Shen Ningyuan said sarcastically, "If there are really so many wronged souls in this world, how can those who have done evil and lost their conscience still be alive and well?"
In her previous life, she became a wronged ghost.
But so what?
In the end, she still ended up hiding in the chastity arch.
Another three years of wind and rain!
Sensing the hatred in Shen Ningyuan's eyes, Ji Yunnuo was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't figure out why Shen Ningyuan had such great hatred towards the Ji family?
Seeing Ji Yunnuo didn't speak, Shen Ningyuan looked at him coldly and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you blocking me here? What's the matter?"
Ji Yunnuo stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I still want to cooperate with my sister-in-law."
"You haven't given up this idea yet?" Shen Ningyuan sneered.
Ji Yunnuo nodded, "Not only has it not been dispelled, it has become more and more intense."
"Oh, then you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. I will never cooperate with you."
"Why?" Ji Yunnuo frowned.
Shen Ningyuan stared at Ji Yunnuo and said word by word: “Because you are a member of the Ji family.”
