The next day.
Ning Yu supported his aching waist and struggled to get up from the bed. In the end, he asked the system to exchange a relaxing pill for one and only then did he feel better.
I really shouldn't have agreed to him last night.
After Ning Yu changed her clothes, Shen Zongyu just walked in from practicing sword outside the yard. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he couldn't help but begin to doubt his own abilities.
Is it because he is too old and his physical strength can’t keep up?
Thinking of this, Shen Zongyu's face suddenly darkened, and he turned back to practice more.
At this time, Ning Yu had already sorted out the account books and found many problems. Some places were not marked clearly, and there was a shortage of weights and ounces. The total amount was about 30,000 ounces.
After Nanny Xu found out, she reminded her, "The Crown Prince's wife's family has fallen on hard times now, and they don't have many brothers to rely on. Now they completely rely on the Crown Prince's wife to support them..."
Ning Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked Chun Xing to call Yuan Xian over.
Half an hour later, Yuan Xian came slowly, a look of just the right amount of apology on her face. "Mother, I'm feeling unwell and am late."
But she was feeling very proud in her heart. Ning Yu couldn't wait to ask her for something...
These chores were complicated, and she spent many years learning from her mother before she got married before she gradually became proficient in them.
Ning Yu had never encountered this before, so he must have been panicked and at a loss!
Ning Yu sneered and threw the problematic account book in front of her. "Look at the area circled in red ink. Where did the 30,000 taels go?!"
Yuan Xian's face turned pale instantly, her fingers clenched tightly in her palms, she didn't even feel the pain, her heart was filled with disbelief and panic.
How did she know there was something wrong with this account book? !
It's obviously foolproof.
It must have been Nanny Xu who helped Ning Yu. She didn’t expect her father-in-law to send such a powerful old slave to her!
Ning Yu slowly took in Yuan Xian's expression, and tapped the table lightly with his tender and slender fingers, making a rhythmic sound.
It was like a heavy hammer hitting Yuan Xian's heart, undoubtedly a warning.
Yuan Xian secretly tried to test, "Mother, mother, it was your daughter-in-law who forgot to give you this account book..."
Ning Yu wouldn't give Yuan Xian a chance. She said in a sharp voice, "I'll give you three days."
Yuan Xian naturally knew what Ning Yu meant and asked her to make up the money within three days, but she had already secretly given the 30,000 taels to her parents' home!
Yuan Xian was about to say something when Ning Yu said lightly, "The Marquis doesn't know about this yet..."
The implication is that if Shen Zongyu knew about this, it would not be as simple as just making up for the loss.
Yuan Xian thought of her father-in-law's fierce and terrifying aura, so she had to grit her teeth and agree.
During these three days, Yuan Xian racked her brains to sell everything she could, and together with her dowry, she was able to barely scrape together 50,000 taels.
Among them, 20,000 taels were used as a bribe to Ning Yu so that she would not tell her father-in-law about the matter.
When Ning Yu saw the thick stack of banknotes, he couldn't help but admire that Yuan Xian was quite rich.
At night, Ning Yu stuffed the banknotes into Shen Zongyu's hands like he was presenting a treasure.
Shen Zongyu had already learned of Ning Yu's heroic deeds from Nanny Xu. A hint of indulgence lingered on his face. "I remember that 20,000 taels of silver was used to bribe you."
Ning Yu didn't expect Yuan Xian to be so kind and give 20,000 taels as soon as she asked.
Shen Zongyu stuffed the banknote back into Ning Yu's hand and said softly, "Keep these fifty thousand taels for yourself. Use them as your own personal treasury."
Ning Yu's eyes lit up, and her fair and bright face was full of smiles. She couldn't help but kiss Shen Zongyu's cold face again and again.
Shen Zongyu hadn't expected Ning Yu to be such a money-grubber. His tone was filled with doting. "My husband is so generous, could you please agree to one request of mine?"
Ning Yu, now dazzled by the 50,000 taels of silver, leaped out of the air and said, "I'll agree to anything you ask!"
Shen Zongyu raised a triumphant smile and whispered in her ear, "... Then can you try page 16 of the booklet with me?"
Ning Yu's mind flashed with that extremely shameful posture, and then he thought of the stack of banknotes, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Shian Garden.
When Yuan Xian thought about how almost all of her belongings had been given to Ning Yu, her heart ached so much that she almost bled. She said bitterly, "Madam Yuan, write a letter to the prince immediately! Ask him to come back..."
In the past, the Marquis had never married, so naturally he had no children. Now that he has married Ning Yu, he has given all the power of housekeeping to Ning Yu without saying a word.
He didn't give her, his daughter-in-law, any face at all.
If Ning Yu gave birth to a son one day, the position of the crown prince might be used by the Marquis to please others.
After receiving the letter, Shen Si read it quickly, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
"How is that possible? How could that wet nurse marry my father?!"
He thought Shen Zongyu only treated Ning Yu as a plaything, but now he made her the mistress of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion.
Thinking of Yuan Xian saying that her father had given the housekeeper power to Ning Yu, she felt even more incredulous.
I thought it was against the rules for him to marry a wet nurse as a concubine.
But now looking at what my father has done, he is clearly the King Zhou who was bewitched by Daji!
A strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged in his heart. If he went back any later, he might even be pregnant.
Chen Si made a prompt decision. Since the war was almost over, he planned to let his confidants and other generals clean up the mess while he found an excuse to rush to Jiangyang County.
Marquis of Changping's Mansion.
When Shen Zongyu learned that Shen Si had actually abandoned the front line and was preparing to return home, a layer of frost seemed to condense on his handsome face, and anger was surging in his eyes.
