Chapter 107: A Rich Dowry
Xue Jiayi's heart was stagnant, she didn't expect that the matter on the silver money was also known by Baoyun. This is also to blame her, in the past, Yu Mingjiang handed over all the things in the backyard to her, as long as the accounts were passable, Yu Mingjiang never asked more.
There was no Yu Baoyun before, and Yu Jiawen did not have such a big mood swing, let alone break the tone and decorations of the room.
I didn't expect to be turned out by Yu Baoyun now, as long as it is turned out by Yu Baoyun, it will definitely be unfavorable to her and Yu Jiawen.
She thought and looked at Yu Mingjiang. As soon as she turned her head, when she touched Yu Mingjiang's eyes, it was like falling into a bottomless abyss. Yu Mingjiang's eyes were looking at her darkly, obviously listening to Yu Baoyun's words.
She barely calmed down, showed a light smile, and explained: "Master, Wen'er grew up in the palm of your hand, and you know her temperament. Although you are dedicated to her good, but she is still a child who has not grown up after all, you reprimand her, she can't calm down, but also because you value your attitude towards her too much. The concubine will teach Wen'er well, this is the first and last time. ”
Yu Mingjiang's face did not ease, Xue Jiayi only thought that Yu Mingjiang was angry at Yu Jiawen's profligacy, but she didn't know that what Yu Mingjiang was really worried about was not this.
Baoyun had a full view of Yu Mingjiang's body, Xue Jiayi was concerned and confused, and she didn't know what Yu Mingjiang was thinking at this time. She didn't mind reminding Xue Jiayi.
"Father, Mother also has a point. My sister grew up under your love, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant when she is angry with you. She is still young, and it is understandable that she is arrogant. But father, your monthly income is 500 taels of silver, 300 quintals of grain, and the rest of the cloth and other miscellaneous goods, and the rent collected from the Zhuangzi adds up to the monthly income of the Yu Mansion is only 2,000 taels. This month alone, the furnishings in my sister's house are close to two thousand taels, if outsiders know about it, what will they think of our Yu Mansion, what will they think of our father? ”
What will you think? thought that Yu Mingjiang would inevitably be corrupt.
In fact, in the court, there are a few people whose buttocks are clean. If someone uses this as a breakthrough to investigate Yu Mingjiang, then Yu Mingjiang will definitely not be able to run away without a strong backstage corruption.
Xue Jiayi watched Yu Mingjiang's face become darker and darker, and the haze on his face seemed to be thick ink. She was frightened and said with a smile: "Master, we have a lot of savings in Yicheng over the years, and we can still afford Wen'er." ”
Baoyun didn't add fuel to the fire again, she had poured enough, and if she did more, she would have done it deliberately. She believes that Yu Mingjiang can distinguish the priorities.
Sure enough, Yu Mingjiang said to Xue Jiayi: "Could it be that all our savings are used for Wen'er?" ”
Xue Jiayi really wanted to peel Bao Yun and eat meat on the spot, and drink every drop of Bao Yun's blood. If she knew that this little slut was so difficult to deal with, she should really be desperate to kill this little slut in the first place!
However, it was too late to think about it now, she glanced at Baoyun, her hand was holding green tendons under the table, and then looked at Yu Mingjiang again, and said softly: "Master, you have to believe in the concubine body, and the concubine body will explain to you later, okay?" ”
There was begging in her voice, Yu Mingjiang's heart softened, thinking that Xue Jiayi had better give him a reasonable explanation for a while, otherwise he would never indulge them like this again!
Glaring at Xue Jiayi, he said to Baoyun: "Okay, if you don't eat the food, it will be cold." These things are in the Father's heart, so let us eat first. ”
Bao Yun smiled, nodded obediently, and ate in silence.
How Xue Jiayi wants to explain, she knows it in her heart.
The meal was very quiet, but the three people who ate had their own plans in their hearts, and they were not quiet.
At dusk, Bao Yun stepped on the dusk all over the ground and walked towards the Ju'an Hospital. Caiyun was still thinking about the things at the dinner table, although she was not as able to figure out Yu Mingjiang's mind as Baoyun, but when she saw that Yu Mingjiang was about to get angry, Baoyun suddenly stopped, allowing Xue Jiayi and Yu Jiawen to escape.
She couldn't understand what Bao Yun's idea was, so she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why don't you ask Madame on the spot if there has been such a thing before, and then let the master check the account book, maybe what can be found?" ”
Bao Yun smiled, it's not that she may be able to find out something, but she will definitely be able to find something. Xue Jiayi has been in charge of silver money for so many years, and she is not an upright person, as long as she checks the account book carefully, she must be able to find out some unsightly things.
However, the point is not these unsightly things, the point is whether these unsightly things are important to Yu Mingjiang.
The most important thing for Yu Mingjiang is his career, but the source of those silver coins is her mother's dowry, as long as Yu Mingjiang knows this, this matter will be covered up by Yu Mingjiang.
"Finding out something doesn't have much impact on the overall situation, it's enough for us to do it here, and if we do more, it will be suspicious."
Her purpose this time was to get Kong Rou's dowry back, and now Xue Jiayi's magnanimity comes from Kong Rou's dowry. Before, Xue Jiayi promised to return Kong Rou's dowry to her, but after giving her the five hundred taels of silver, she didn't make any moves.
She knew that Xue Jiayi didn't spit out the meat she ate in her mouth so easily. But no matter how difficult this piece of meat is, she has to pull it out of Xue Jiayi's hands!
Xue Jiayi's explanation to Yu Mingjiang was all in Baoyun's speculation, and Xue Jiayi did say that the large expenses in Yu's mansion over the years were all used by Kong Rou's dowry.
At the beginning, the confiscation of Kong Rou's dowry was proposed by Xue Jiayi, Yu Mingjiang didn't know how much Kong Rou's dowry was, and when he asked carefully, he knew that Kong Rou's dowry was so rich.
Kong Rou's grandfather and father were both generals who shed their blood for the Dajin Dynasty, and both died on the frontier in the end. Kong Rou's mother was pregnant with Kong Rou, and Kong Rou's father died on the battlefield, and the court gave a lot of compensation. However, monetary compensation could not make up for Kong Rou's mother's heartache.
Soon after Kong Rou got married, Kong Rou's mother also passed away in tears. In the end, the Kong family ended up with no one to inherit, and Yu Mingjiang took advantage of this.
Xue Jiayi roughly told Yu Mingjiang about the value of Kong Rou's dowry, and observed Yu Mingjiang's expression. Yu Mingjiang really showed hesitation.
Xue Jiayi took advantage of the victory to pursue, picked up the tea and handed it to Yu Mingjiang, her voice was gentle as if she could drip honey: "Master, before Baoyun proposed to take back her sister's dowry, the concubine didn't feel anything wrong. But Baoyun is still young after all, such a large dowry, if others have bad intentions towards her, how can it be good? ”
