After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 144: It’s obvious that the accounts for the few months I married into the Marquis’ Mansion w

late at night.

Jin Wei came to Deji with a serious look on his face, "It seems that Madam has been checking the accounts."

"Check the accounts?" Deji frowned, thinking of the incident not long ago when Jiang Xiyu broke into Xu Rui's study and demanded the account book. "Are you checking the Marquis's accounts?"

"Not entirely. It seems they are checking the accounts of the Marquis's public residence and the Marquis's private accounts."

Deji was a little surprised.

However, he was not afraid of Jiang Xiyu checking Xu Rui's private accounts, because even the palace mathematician would not be able to find any clues in Xu Rui's account book.

But Jiang Xiyu suddenly tried so hard to check the accounts. Could it be that there was some problem with the accounts in the Marquis' Mansion, so she found the cause and traced it to Xu Rui?

Deji didn't know what was wrong with the account books of the Marquis' Mansion, but looking at Jiang Xiyu's appearance, it seemed that the matter was very serious.

Deji didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly sent another letter to Xu Rui.

Meanwhile, Xu Rui, who was traveling overnight with his soldiers, had already received Deji's first letter.

Xu Rui was really shocked when he saw in Deji's letter that Jiang Xiyu insisted on entering his study. Later, he found out that it was for his private account book. Although he was slightly relieved, his frown did not relax.

There were indeed secrets hidden in his private account books. Even though ordinary people couldn't see them, he still couldn't take the risk. He simply couldn't afford the gamble.

But Jiang Xiyu was fine, why would he suddenly check his private accounts?

He had just left when such a thing happened in the mansion. How could Xu Rui still have the mind to lead the troops?

It was already late at night, so Xu Rui asked the soldiers to rest where they were.

The soldiers here had just rested when they received Deji's second message, "My Lord, your letter."

Xu Rui immediately took the letter and started reading it.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Rui's face looked very ugly.

He finally understood why Jiang Xiyu suddenly checked his private accounts. There must be a problem with the account books in the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiang Xiyu has been the housekeeper for five years. If there were any problems with the accounts in the Marquis' Mansion, they should have been there long ago. She has only discovered the problem now, so something must have happened.

Suddenly it occurred to her that Gu Yunling had given her two maids, and one of them should be an expert at accounting.

Xu Rui immediately replied with a letter, "Send a message to Deji."

"Yes."

On this side, Deji didn't receive Xu Rui's reply until dawn.

The letter contained only a few words: "Everything is based on the madam."

Deji received the letter and finally knew what to do.

Jingyu Garden.

Jiang Xiyu didn't sleep well all night because she kept thinking about the account book, and woke up early in the morning.

Qing'er brought in water to help her with her makeup. "Madam, I heard that early this morning, the old lady asked the servants in the mansion to carry her to the Zhou Mansion."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at the hourglass in surprise, "So early."

I knew Zheng would definitely go to the Du Mansion today, but I didn't expect her to go so early. It was just dawn outside.

Qing'er was tying Jiang Xiyu's hair up while gloating, "I heard that the old lady brought a lot of guards with her. I guess she's going to the Zhou family to cause trouble."

Jiang Xiyu didn't care about what happened to Zheng and Zhou's families. She knew that her chance had come when Zheng left the house.

Jiang Xiyu suddenly stood up and went outside.

Qing'er stared blankly at her empty hands, then at the comb on Jiang Xiyu's head, and hurriedly chased after her, "Madam, where are you going? Your hair is not combed yet!"

The most important thing is that the comb is still on your head.

Qing'er chased after her and took off the comb from Jiang Xiyu's head. "Madam, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Jiang Xiyu directly instructed Qing'er, "Go and call the two maids and come to find me at Zheng's residence."

After that, he left directly.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu so anxious, Qing'er didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately turned around to call for help.

Qing'er called Nanny Yu and Nanny Wei and went straight to Zheng's yard.

It seems that Zheng really brought a lot of people with her when she went to Zhou's house this time.

There was no one in the yard. I guess everyone followed Zheng to Zhou's house.

Jiang Xiyu had a smile on her lips. It seemed that God was helping her this time.

When Jiang Xiyu saw Qing'er and the others arrive, he took them directly into the main house.

"Look carefully and see where the account book is."

"Yes." The three of them answered and started searching together.

Qing'er is the most experienced in finding things, mainly because she is the one who packs up Jiang Xiyu's things, so she knows best where the account books are usually kept.

Soon, Qing'er found dozens of boxes in a cage. "Madam, there are a lot of account books here."

Jiang Xiyu, Nanny Yu and Nanny Wei went over immediately and saw that the more than ten boxes in the cage were filled with account books. Judging from the condition of the account books, they were obviously quite old.

Nanny Wei squatted beside the cage and picked up an account book from a box to check.

After seeing this, Nanny Wei's expression became a little solemn, and then she picked up an account book from another box to check.

Qing'er and Nanny Yu were also busy. They looked through the years of the account books in the dozen or so boxes.

"Miss, this box probably contains the account books from five years ago. The account books from the Marquis' Mansion for decades should all be here..."

Nanny Wei picked up a few account books from each box and looked at them. Although she didn't look at them very carefully, she could see some problems.

She first selected some old account books for Jiang Xiyu to look at. "Madam, these account books are the same as those of the Marquis. There is nothing wrong with them. But the strange thing is that the shops that should be making money are all losing money. After a few months of profit, they are in the red every month. Every year, the Marquis's family has to subsidize these shops with a lot of money."

Jiang Xiyu looked at the loss in the account book, frowning and said, "How could this happen? The accounts for the first few months after I married into the Marquis' Mansion were normal."

Aren’t the accounts in her account book normal for the months before she married into the Marquis’ Mansion?

How could the old account books left with Zheng be abnormal?

Nanny Wei also shook her head in confusion and took out an even older account book to show Jiang Xiyu, "The accounts in these books are normal."

Jiang Xiyu frowned and looked at the date on the account book.

"Dingyou year? Isn't that twenty-three years ago? Are you saying that the accounts from twenty-three years ago are normal?"

Nanny Wei nodded. "Yes, except for twenty-three years ago, which was two months before you married into the Marquis' Mansion, the accounts were normal. After that, the accounts returned to their original state."

"Twenty-three years ago?" Jiang Xiyu suddenly thought of something. "Xu Rui is twenty-three years old this year. Twenty-three years ago should be the time when Zheng married into the Yonglin Marquis Mansion."

After being reminded by Jiang Xiyu, Qing'er seemed to understand something instantly. She widened her eyes and asked, "Madam, are you saying that everything was done by the old lady? Ever since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she has been embezzling the money from the public treasury?"
