"Oh, by the way, let the prefect bring two accountants to reconcile the accounts, so that everything will be clear."
"After proving my innocence, Young Master Qin will have no reason to accuse me of theft in the future."
Qin Sujin clenched his palms. Seeing her confident look, he actually believed for a moment that she was innocent.
But he had been an official for many years and had raided the homes of many corrupt officials. He had seen many people who pretended to be upright. Unless they were proven guilty, they would not admit their crimes.
Qin Wu is so scheming and speaks so righteously, isn't she just trying to bet on his trust? If you believe her, you will be fooled by her.
She couldn't provide evidence to prove where the 500,000 taels she used to break up her marriage came from, so the best proof was that she stole it from the Qin family.
Why should he be afraid of settling accounts with her?
"Okay!" Qin Sujin wanted to let everyone see her dirty hands and feet clearly today, "Just don't regret it!"
Qin Sujin asked the servant beside him to bring Qin Yinnuan over.
"If you want to settle the accounts, then be clear. Remember, in addition to the account book I gave to Qin Yinnuan, please ask Mr. Qin to take out all the account books of the Qin family in the past five years so that we can count them together."
...
...
Five years ago, it was Mrs. Qin who started to teach her how to do accounting and manage the Qin family's household expenses. At that time, Mrs. Qin's health was already very poor and she was unable to continue to manage the household expenses, so she handed it over to her.
The Qin brothers were not interested in managing the household affairs.
She was the only girl in the Qin family at that time, and Qin Sujin had not yet married, so this matter had no choice but to fall on his shoulders.
Later, Qin Sujin got married two months before his mother's death, and she originally wanted to hand over the household affairs to her eldest sister-in-law Su Qingqing.
It was Qin Sujin who asked her to continue to take care of it first, so she didn't hand it over to Su Qingqing.
Originally, after she married Qi Xiuzhe, she slowly prepared to show Su Qingqing some of the household account books, thinking that she would then tell Qin Sujin and then give the household account books to Su Qingqing.
Who knew that after Qin Yinnuan came back, Qin Sujin obviously didn't take Su Qingqing seriously and ordered her to give the household account book directly to Qin Yinnuan.
If they were going to settle the accounts, they would of course do it clearly. She couldn't let all her hard work be taken away by them and then be accused of being a thief.
Qin Sujin glanced at her after hearing what she said, "Except for some items in the account book, the cash is missing by more than three million taels."
"I originally thought that you only needed to return the three million taels, and the rest would be fine."
"You are so ungrateful, so you have to pay me the amount that is missing!"
Qin Wu curled her lips without even thinking, "Okay!"
"Since Master Qin has already said this, then Master Qin must return the money I subsidized to me according to the account!"
Qin Sujin felt that what Qin Wu said was ridiculous, so he said without hesitation, "Sure, I want to see where you get the money to subsidize the Qin family."
Qin Sujin asked someone to ask Qin Yinnuan to bring all the account books for the past five years.
Qin Wu smiled and said to the Imperial Master, "Then I'll have to trouble you to give me some time to take care of my personal affairs first."
It was rare that Qin Wu was less wary and tentative towards him, so the Imperial Master nodded.
"By the way, please ask the Imperial Master to ask the prefect to come as well, and have him invite the best accountant to come and reconcile the accounts together."
"Okay." The Imperial Master waved his hand lightly, and Ye You immediately understood.
Qin Wu stretched out her hand and asked Qin Sujin to let her have a look at the account book in his hand first.
The accounts had to be correct, so Qin Sujin handed her the account book and said, "Don't feel guilty. The missing items in the treasury are all noted."
"I also looked at the amount of cash in the account book that my mother handed over to you. It's impossible to lose such a huge amount in just four or five years."
"So, don't say I wronged you!"
Qin Wu did not respond to him, but sat back on the stool, but the table collapsed.
She asked Qiufen to come over and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Qiufen immediately went to do things for Qin Wu.
"I'm sorry, everyone, for delaying your visit. I'll see you guys after I finish my business." Qin Wu said politely.
No one present complained and said they could wait.
But I was very curious because Qin Wu swore that she had not stolen any money from the Qin family.
But if she hadn't stolen, how could she have earned the 500,000 taels?
Qin Wu endured the pain in her palm and opened the account book to take a look.
She looked at it carefully and quickly.
She has the ability to remember everything she reads, so reading the account book is not difficult for her at all.
The accounts before Qin Wu took over were all correct and there were no signs of any changes.
However, Qin Wu saw something was wrong with the following accounts.
Previously, the income from shops and farms would be recorded once a quarter and the profits would be deposited into the treasury.
But this didn't happen.
Also, the expenditure accounts are not quite right.
Except for the monthly wages paid to the servants in the mansion, the Qin family's monthly wages were accurate.
Accounts like buying vegetables are missing, and the salaries of Qin Xiang, Qin Sujin and others are deposited into the public treasury, but they haven't been paid in the past two months. It's impossible that the court doesn't even owe them their salaries?
Besides, Qin Yinnuan doesn’t need to spend money when she goes out to socialize? The expense of renting out the polo field some time ago alone was huge.
The amount of silver is obviously wrong.
One look at this account book shows that it is full of loopholes, incomplete, and not fully recorded.
In this way, with so much going in and out of the public treasury, wouldn’t it be a mess? I don’t even know how much less!
Oh, doesn't Young Master Qin know how to check carefully?
Even if there is a lot less, is it possible that they only take in and don't give out?
She had not been in charge of the household affairs for a long time, and accounting was no longer her business, but the money was missing and the blame was put on her.
Is she really a victim?
Well, in that case, then all the money that she had previously used to subsidize the Qin family must be returned to her!
Ungrateful and ungrateful.
Then she will live up to her reputation as an ungrateful person today and help the Qin family!
In less than an incense stick of time, Qin Yinnuan, Qin Sumu and the injured Qin Suhuo all arrived.
All the Qin brothers who were at home came.
Whether he was supporting Qin Yinnuan or trying to suppress her, Qin Wu was not afraid at all.
They would think she was guilty and deserved to die even if they had no reason to do so.
But at least the people are not blind and believe everything Qin Yinnuan says.
At the same time, the prefect who was invited by the imperial teacher also appeared with several accountants who were good at accounting.
Qiufen had already taken the things Qin Wu wanted from Gong Yu.
"These are the Qin family's account books! I want to see how you calculate it!"
Qin Sujin asked people to move a few tables and stools and put the account books on the tables.
Qin Sujin said with a sharp look that showed his contempt and disgust for Qin Wu, "Since you have severed the relationship, you must pay back every penny you have."
"Brother, that's enough."
Qin Sumu knew that Qin Sujin came to Qin Wu to ask for money, but it would be fine as long as she made up for most of the losses. After all, after so many years, some accounts could not be settled.
He didn't want to care about Qin Wu anymore, nor did he want to say anything nice to her.
But he was also worried that if he cared too much, the people would think that the Qin family was too ruthless.
