The shopkeeper's face turned pale instantly, and he lowered his eyes. He was frightened in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I didn't know it was Madam who came to visit. I'll get the account book for you right away."
He looked at Tang Wan, who was sitting upright in the chair with a calm expression, and consoled himself in his heart: "She's just a woman, what can she possibly understand?"
He had heard that his boss, General Qin, had married a concubine's daughter, a concubine who was not favored and was not under the supervision of her legal mother.
Such a person doesn't know how to read the account books, let alone manage the household. I think he is just bluffing.
Thinking of this, he quickly handed the account book to her, but his fingers were trembling slightly.
Tang Wan frowned for a long time, then looked up at him with a half-smile: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
I actually felt there were such obvious mistakes and omissions. Did I really think that others wouldn't notice them? Or was I so confident that I wouldn't be found out?
"Madam, what are you talking about? I don't understand." He pretended to be stupid and pretended to know nothing.
"Don't understand? Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to make you understand. Call all the people in charge of the Qin family's assets here. I have something to say."
"Madam, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. The general didn't say anything. You..."
Tang Wan played with the jade pendant in her hand and raised an eyebrow at him.
The shopkeeper's brows jumped. He recognized this jade pendant. The general had once said that seeing this jade was like seeing himself.
"Boss, do you still think I'm overstepping my authority?"
"I dare not." He was sweating coldly, while Tang Wan was still talking non-stop and pointing out the mistakes and omissions in his account book.
The shopkeeper became more and more frightened as he listened, his heart felt as if it had been doused with cold water. Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he felt indescribable fear in his heart.
"Remember, ask them to bring all their account books. This lady will check them one by one."
This matter lasted until the evening and was not yet completed.
Almost all the people in charge were corrupt, and quite a lot of it.
The embezzlement of this person alone over the years is equivalent to the annual income of the Qin Mansion.
If she said she didn't feel sad when she saw the real money flowing into other people's pockets, it would be a lie.
She had suffered too much in her previous life, and she wished she could break a copper coin into two halves to spend.
She cared a lot. She once almost died because of a tael of silver, just because a servant coveted her silver.
She almost saved her child, but because of a few taels of money for medicine, her child was lost. She hated such greedy people the most in her life.
She was indeed not a good person, but she heard that many of these people were selected from refugees who had fled famine and almost starved to death.
She thought that people like this would know how to be grateful, and even she would know how to be grateful and work hard for her employer. However, she didn't expect that this group of people were even more greedy.
I want this, this, and more.
A little kindness will turn into a lot of resentment. If you are too nice to someone, he will test your bottom line step by step until it is eroded step by step and becomes more and more rampant.
She stood on a high place, her eyes indifferent as she looked at the nearly one hundred people of varying heights and weights below: "From today on, you don't have to come here anymore. The Qin Mansion doesn't need people with such dirty hands and feet."
The crowd immediately started arguing fiercely: "Why are you dismissing us on behalf of the general? Who do you think you are? You married the general and you really think you have become a phoenix. I tell you, if you want to drive us old people away, there is no way."
"That's right, it's not like that. We've worked for so many years, even if we haven't done anything valuable, we've certainly put in some hard work."
"It's definitely not the general who gave it to us. This woman must be trying to cover up the fact by trying to embezzle all the general's wealth."
"Women are truly the most vicious. I wonder why the general fell for such a vicious woman."
"Who are you to make decisions for the general? You women should stay in the backyard. Doing something like this that's in the spotlight is really embarrassing for the general."
The short and fat shopkeeper at the beginning actually had so many people supporting him, and his momentum gradually grew stronger: "Madam, there are many twists and turns in this. I advise you to mind your own business and not meddle in other people's affairs. Women should just embroider in the backyard."
His eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake.
Tang Wan laughed disdainfully: "The general didn't hire you to steal things."
Perhaps the word "steal" was too harsh, and a few of the shy ones immediately retorted with red faces: "How can this be called stealing? Who doesn't make some money from doing things?"
"What a pity! I am the mistress of the Qin Mansion now. I have the final say. I will let you go. None of you can stay."
She had considered giving these people a chance, but seeing how aggressive their words were, if she gave them a chance, they would become even more aggressive.
Anyway, it's just a few words of scolding, how can it be as important as the money?
Therefore, this group of people cannot be retained, and we can only select new ones.
"Everyone, since this woman came here alone, why don't we..." The thin man said this with a sly look in his eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Yes, the woman had only been married for a few days, and the general probably had no feelings for her. Even if such a person died, no one would know.
Just tarnish her innocence and see what she can do!!
When the prince gets tired of her, they can continue to sit back and reap the benefits without any worries.
"Everyone, are you all well?"
