Mrs. Wang reluctantly continued to look for something, while Xia Tian was leisurely roasting fire and drinking tea.
She just didn't believe that Mrs. Wang wouldn't complain to Liu.
An afternoon passed like this.
When Wang Po was rubbing her aching waist and thought it was over, Xia Tian began to check the account book carefully.
"Mrs. Wang, this thing isn't right. It says 'zisha flowerpot,' but what you found is a ceramic flowerpot. It doesn't match. Let's look for it again."
"Madam, I've been looking for it all day. This is indeed the flowerpot, there's no doubt about it." Mrs. Wang retorted with a sour face.
She had been searching for the entire day, but the Crown Prince's wife didn't even let her rest for lunch. She only had two little maids bring her a dry steamed bun, and she didn't even get a sip of water.
She was already tired and hungry, but he still didn't let her go.
"It doesn't match the records. No." Xia Tian said firmly, "Look for it or not. If not, I'll tell my wife."
This old woman Wang is also from the Liu family. She usually relies on the support of the Liu family and is in charge of the warehouse, a place with more money, so she is very arrogant.
Seeing Liu tormenting her, she just stood by and watched the joke.
Since none of them are good people, let’s get into trouble together!
Liu didn't want her to have an easy time, so she found something for her to do.
She didn't believe that after she went through so much trouble, these old women would not understand what was going on. They would definitely go to complain to Liu, and then she would have something to say.
Wang Po saw that Xia Tian was serious, and because of her status, she didn't dare to confront her directly. Besides, the prince's wife was doing things under the banner of the lady, so she didn't dare to offend her now.
So he softened his attitude a little, "Madam, it's not that I don't want to find it, it's just that this is the only one in the storeroom."
"How could it be? It's clearly recorded in the account book, how could it not be there? Are you trying to fool me by not looking carefully?"
Xia Tian expressed disbelief and insisted that Wang Po go look for it again.
Wang Po had no choice but to drag her heavy feet to the warehouse and search for a while before coming out empty-handed.
"Madam, I just looked again, but still can't find it. This is the only one I have."
Mrs. Wang replied weakly.
"Okay, then I'll make a note of it. This one is not available."
Xia Tian seriously took a pen and made a mark next to it, writing down the reason.
Mrs. Wang had a headache. She could see that the prince's wife did it on purpose.
"Madam, how long will it take for you to finish investigating one case at a time like this?"
"Of course I have to finish the check!" Xia Tian looked at Wang Pozi in feigned confusion. "This is a task assigned by Madam, so I must do it well. Otherwise, Madam will think that I, her daughter-in-law, am lazy and not working!"
"But Madam, this is almost enough. Anyway, no one pays attention to some of these things. As long as they exist, it's fine. Does it have anything to do with the account book?"
Wang Pozi tried to persuade Xia Tian not to be so picky.
But who is Xia Tian? She's kind enough not to cause trouble, so why would she let him go?
How is that possible!
"Mother Wang, your idea is very dangerous, isn't it? Our Wu'an Marquis Mansion is one of the most prestigious families. Can we use some low-quality things to fill the void?
What would outsiders think of our mansion if they saw us? They would think that our mansion was so poor that we couldn't survive!"
Mrs. Wang was speechless and could only watch Xia Tian check and record each item.
In the past, when we were doing year-end accounting or looking for things, as long as the quantities matched, there was basically no problem.
Who cares if it’s original or not.
It won't be noticed if they exchange some good things for inferior ones, because some of them are not used very often anyway.
Besides, some unimportant things will not be placed in a conspicuous place. No matter how inferior they are, no one will notice them.
I didn’t expect that the Crown Prince’s wife would check so thoroughly!
It's too late for her to make up for it now.
Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy, while Xia Tian continued to check.
The two little girls who helped to look for things didn't dare to breathe and just listened to the two men asking and answering each other.
The entire warehouse was filled with the voices of the Crown Prince's wife and Mrs. Wang, one after another, without interruption.
The Crown Prince's wife said that this thing is wrong and must be registered.
Mrs. Wang said that this is what it is, and she is right.
The Crown Prince's wife also said that there was no record of it leaving the warehouse or being damaged...
Mrs. Wang said that this thing was indeed damaged and then added later...
In this way, until dinner time, it was not over yet, and Wang Pozi started to complain, "Madam, you don't have to torment me like this. These things are just like this. If you feel something is wrong, then let's go talk to Madam."
Anyway, she is on the Madam's side. Although some things were replaced by her, she doesn't believe that the Madam will really punish her!
At most, we can ask her to return the things she replaced!
If the Crown Prince's wife, who is using chicken feathers as a token of authority, were to continue investigating this matter, she would be so angry that she would die!
"Okay, since you're not convinced, go talk to the lady."
Xia Tian took the account book and walked away leisurely.
Wang Po followed behind, gritting her teeth as she looked at her back.
I've never seen anyone who is so bad at turning!
When they arrived at Huarui Hall, Xia Tian directly lifted the curtain and went in. The maid guarding the door didn't even react.
By the time I reacted, Xia Tian had already gone inside.
The little girl stood at the door and quickly announced, "The prince's wife is here."
Liu was eating, and it looked like the food had just been placed on the table.
