Chapter 43 Want to hammer her dog head
"This account is too big a problem!" said Nanny Qin.
Xiao Jian was coaxing baby Xi'er on the side. She was not surprised at Nanny Qin's words.
She was not a fool. She saw the actions of the General's Mansion.
It's just that gold, silver, and other things are external things. She didn't care too much about them in those years.
Now, she knows the suffering of the soldiers on the border, and she also knows that it is not easy for her royal brother to be the emperor. What's more, these parasites in the General's Mansion are so shameless. She began to want to count the accounts and donations.
"How much is the difference?" Xiao Jian asked.
If it's not much, she will just give them a warning and let them make up for it.
If there were more discrepancies...
"Golden headpieces, phoenix hairpins, jade earrings, and gold hairpins, a total of twelve pieces are missing, three hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver are missing, and more..."
Nanny Qin reported the accounts one by one, about one third of the dowry was missing.
"Hey, there are probably quite a lot of them in Minister Xu's mansion. I wonder if mother can deal with Minister Xu!" Baby Ruoxi twisted her hands and thought. She smacked her lips and thought, "My scumbag father must have spent a lot of money raising this white lotus. It's time for them to spit it out!"
Dongju was in a bad mood. She clenched her fists and said, "Princess, I will go and catch that Xu and let you interrogate her. I saw her taking a bunch of hairpins out before. I tell you, you told me that one or two pairs of hairpins are fine. It's hard for her to manage such a big general's mansion. Now, I think, it's really..."
I want to smash her dog head!
Nanny Qin sighed.
In the previous dynasty, the country was strong at the beginning, but the princes who seized the throne later damaged the country's strength. So in just a few years, the treasury was empty and the people were living in poverty.
The eldest princess's dowry was collected by the queen mother since she was born. The princess was smart and clever since she was a child, and she always won many rewards. The queen mother kept those rewards for her, so over the years, her dowry was the richest in all dynasties.
Who knew that this time, 30% of it was damaged by the general's mansion.
"When it's time to take action, take action, mother, be a powerful woman!" Baby Ruoxi kicked her legs with strength, and waved her fists very hard.
Xiao Jian seemed to be encouraged. She said coldly, "Call Hu and Xu Ruzhen!"
After a day of trembling, the next day, just after dawn, before the autumn dew was dried by the sun, Hu was called to Mozhu Garden.
When Xu Ruzhen came, her face was still blue and purple. As soon as she stepped into Mozhu Garden, she was kicked by Nanny Qin.
"Kneel down!"
Xu Ruzhen was about to lose her temper. When she raised her head, she looked at Xiao Jian, who had a cold face in front of her, and then looked at Nanny Qin, who looked ferocious. She immediately shrank her neck and whispered, "You, what are you doing? Princess, what did Ruzhen do wrong again?"
"Pah!" Xiao Jian smashed the account book in his hand on Xu Ruzhen's face, causing her to scream in pain.
"What, what are you doing, oh, Princess Xiao..., what are you doing?" Xu Ruzhen didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and she didn't vent her temper.
"Good!" Baby Ruoxi couldn't help but praise her mother.
As a big devil who likes to eat melons, although she was a little sleepy at this time, she was determined not to sleep. She wanted to know how her mother was going to torture Xu Ruzhen.
"You took the twelve headpieces and hairpins and made them into jewelry. Who did you give them to? Explain clearly one by one." Xiao Yao said.
"Ah? I, I don't know, Princess, you, you are wrongly accusing me, I am just in charge of the warehouse, I, I really don't know about the things in the warehouse!" Xu Ruzhen's face turned pale in an instant, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Hu, and said, "Mother, please speak, mother, I really didn't take it!"
"Mother-in-law said she didn't know!" Xiao Yao said coldly.
"Mother, how can you not know? My keys are..." Xu Ruzhen looked at Mrs. Hu and said immediately.
"Shut up, you scoundrel, I was thinking about how hard the princess worked, so I didn't let her worry too much, and let you take charge of the warehouse, but you are stealing from the warehouse?" Mrs. Hu immediately yelled at Xu Ruzhen.
"Tsk, mother, you did a good job, it's so interesting to see dog bite dog!" Baby Ruoxi became excited.
Xiao Yao simply walked to Dong Ju's side, stretched out his hand to pull down the mouth of the swaddling clothes, deliberately showing the scene to the baby.
Look, my lady, how interesting, your mother is so powerful!
"Princess, the little princess caught a cold when she turned back!" Dong Ju was reluctant to open the swaddling clothes so much.
"It's okay, the wind in this autumn is very good, Xier is strong!" Xiao Yao said.
"Yeah!" Dong Ju listened to the princess, and whatever the princess said was what it was. She hugged the little princess and watched the scene in front of her.
"I didn't, I didn't rob under supervision, princess, you must believe me, really, you believe me!" Xu Ruzhen knelt on her knees and quickly crawled in front of Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao looked down at the woman, raised his foot, and kicked her hard.
Xiao Jian actually practiced Kung Fu. When she was young, she even followed her brother to the border. Her riding and archery skills were not much worse than those of ordinary soldiers.
However, for so many years, she had wasted herself for a scumbag.
After being kicked like that, Xu Ruzhen rolled on the ground for several times before stopping at the wall. She was angry and terrified, but she dared not say a word.
This is the princess, who has returned to the emperor and the empress dowager and is a pampered princess.
Not to mention, the emperor's personal bodyguard Bai Yu was still standing by with his arms folded.
Xu Ruzhen was also familiar with Bai Yu. The emperor had several personal bodyguards under his command. Not only were they stunningly beautiful, but they were also very skilled. Bai Yu was especially famous. Not only was he cold in nature, but he was also granted the privilege of killing first and reporting later by the emperor.
"Princess, you are really wronged. It was your mother-in-law who took it all, really!" Xu Ruzhen glanced at Bai Yu and saw that Bai Yu's fingers holding the scabbard moved. Her heart immediately trembled, so she hurriedly said: "The mother-in-law is hiding something from you!"
"Oh?" Xiao Jian looked at Xu Ruzhen.
"Xu Ruzhen, shut up!" When Mrs. Hu heard what Xu Ruzhen said, she immediately shouted.
Xu Ruzhen was frightened by Mrs. Hu's shout. She saw that Mrs. Hu's eyes were fierce, and she was also afraid, so she whispered: "Mother-in-law, tell me yourself, tell me... what you hid from the princess!"
"Oh, it's quite interesting. Xu Ruzhen also has something on Mrs. Hu!" Baby Ruoxi snorted, "Let's see how they can get 30% of the dowry complete!"
Xiao Jian looked at the two people below the steps coldly, her eyes were cold.
She was also calculating in her heart, even if she got the dowry complete, she would not let these people go.
