Chapter 397
Even though it didn't spread widely, some people still found out!
These days, the Marquis's account books have been in Yun Wan's hands!
But... how long has she been a daughter-in-law since she entered the family, and how long has she been in charge of the household? How could she have such audacity?
Just as Madam Zheng hesitated about whether to bring the person over to ask for clarification, Mama Zhou spoke up: "Madam, this matter concerns the reputation of our Marquis's mansion. It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not!"
Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Zheng nodded to herself.
good.
If this was just a false alarm, she could simply lift Yun Wan's confinement early to appease her. But if it was true, she should stop it in time to prevent things from developing to an irreversible point.
"Go and invite the young mistress over."
——
Liuyun Garden.
Yunwan has been under house arrest for several days now.
With Aunt Sun watching over her, she had to copy Buddhist scriptures for half a day every day. Although she didn't have to copy scriptures for the other half of the day, her every move was watched by Aunt Sun whenever she stepped out of the house, making it as unbearable as being in prison.
Just as Yun Wan was about to lose her composure, the gate of Liuyun Garden was opened.
It was Zhou's mother who arrived.
Zhou's mother stepped forward a few steps, her attitude very polite: "Young Madam, Madam requests your presence."
Yun Wan raised an eyebrow.
Could it be because she has been copying scriptures so diligently these past few days that the old woman is preparing to lift her confinement early?
Yunwan thought about it more and more and it seemed real.
After all, she had been copying scriptures recently, and she wrote each word and each stroke with great care.
Thinking of this, Yun Wan felt a little lighter.
It turns out that as long as you copy Buddhist scriptures well, you can win over that old pious woman.
"Mama Sun, please take the young mistress there."
At this moment, Yunwan wanted to see Madam Zheng as soon as possible so that she could express her remorse for the past few days, so she did not dwell on why it was Granny Sun who brought her there.
Mother Sun responded and led Yunwan to Rongxi Hall.
Upon meeting, Madam Zheng was quite kind. She asked Yun Wan what she had done during her confinement, and Yun Wan naturally seized the opportunity to cry and complain about her poor management of her subordinates. She repeatedly apologized, which almost made Madam Zheng feel sorry for her and want to lift her confinement immediately.
But then I thought about it again, Yunxi had been murdered several times, didn't she feel bitter?
Even if Yun Wan wasn't the one who directly attacked her, she still couldn't escape responsibility because of Yun Wan's lax management of her subordinates.
Thinking of this, Zheng's heart hardened again, and no matter what Ren Yunwan said, she remained unmoved.
Just as Madam Zheng was getting annoyed by Yun Wan's crying, Zhou's mother finally arrived.
He also brought a bunch of account books.
When she saw that Zhou's mother had returned, Zheng sat up straight.
Yun Wan subconsciously turned around and looked, and her face turned pale when she saw the pile of account books in Zhou's mother's hand.
"Mother-in-law, this—"
Yun Wan was anxious to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Mama: "Madam, this servant found two sets of account books at the young mistress's place."
Madam Zheng frowned: "How could there be two sets?"
"One set was naturally given away by you, Madam, while the other set was forged by the maid in the young mistress's courtyard!"
As soon as Zhou's mother finished speaking, Jade was pushed over, bound hand and foot.
With her arms bound, she couldn't maintain her balance, and with a slight sway, she fell heavily to the ground.
"Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence that I happened to be there. I just happened to see the maid writing down the things in Teng Yuan's account book, and that's how I caught her red-handed!"
