The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 366 A big loss for a small gain

The Second Lady naturally felt guilty. She had indeed been greedy over the years. After all, she had never touched so much silver before.

When she thought of this, she suddenly couldn't help crying out loud.

"What are you doing? I've worked so hard for the Shen family, and now even a junior is bullying me."

Jiang Sujin: "Second Aunt, you reacted so strongly when I mentioned checking the accounts. It seems like you must have been very greedy."

The second wife was crying, but after hearing her words, she stopped crying instantly.

After a moment, she suddenly shouted again: "Oh my God, this is so unfair!"

Seeing this, Jiang Sujin's face instantly darkened.

"Someone, go to the second lady's room and turn out all the account books for me."

Seeing this, the second master roared, "You dare? Then dare you try to turn over my place?"

Seeing this, Shen Yanfeng's face darkened instantly: "Why can't she turn over?"

Second Master: "Yanfeng, your Second Aunt has worked so hard all these years, you can't treat her like this."

Jiang Sujin: "Second Uncle, I also want to clear Second Aunt's name. Otherwise, the matter of the lost account book is not as simple as just turning over the family property."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and all the secret guards gathered around.

"Look through every nook and cranny of Second Madam's belongings. If you can find the account book, Second Aunt will be able to live a clean life."

The second lady widened her eyes and said, "What if they lose my things or break them?"

Jiang Sujin: "If it's broken or lost, I'll pay you three times the amount."

"Search for me!"

"It's the empress!"

A group of secret guards entered the second lady's study and began to search frantically.

After a while, all the account books were turned out.

In order to prevent the Second Madam from hiding the account books, Jiang Sujin ordered the secret guards to search her inner chambers.

The second wife looked at her room, which had been turned upside down, and was so angry that she almost fainted.

More importantly, she had people dig up all those old accounts.

There will definitely be discrepancies when we reconcile the accounts next time.

The second master said with a dark face: "What's the difference between you and robbers?"

Jiang Sujin: "The robbers robbed me of my money, I just robbed my justice."

After nearly half an hour, all the account books were finally found out.

Jiang Sujin took out an account book with the latest records.

She only took one glance to see that there was something wrong with the account book.

"There is something wrong with the account book. The prices are much higher than normal."

"And there are a lot of things in there that are impossible to buy."

The second wife panicked for a moment when she heard this, and then she forced an explanation: "The price of things will definitely fluctuate."

"Also, some things may seem useless, but when the time comes, you have to prepare them."

Jiang Sujin ignored her and continued to look through the account books.

Until she saw an account book that recorded the expenses in the second master's yard.

She flipped through it briefly, and when she finally saw the total, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Second Aunt, your yard alone costs five hundred taels of silver a month, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng could not help but say, "Didn't you say that the monthly expenses of this mansion are only one thousand taels of silver? So half of this is your own expenses?"

When the second wife heard this, her face suddenly turned red.

Jiang Sujin: "Come here, sort out these account books for me and send them to my room."

"I want to calculate how much silver our Shen Mansion has."

Second Madam: "No, what if you do something tricky?"

Jiang Sujin: "Second Aunt can keep an eye on me the whole time. I'm not like you who would just throw away other people's account books."

When the second lady heard this, her expression suddenly became even uglier.

Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, please give me one day. I will give you an exact number by this time tomorrow."

"When the time comes, we will divide this family properly."

Mr. Shen: "Oh, don't calculate it. Just count and divide the silver in the treasury."

Jiang Sujin: "That won't work. With Second Aunt's behavior, we are definitely worried."

Mr. Shen: "Su Jin, you are hurting the harmony of the whole family by doing this."

Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, you are the elder. If you want the family to be harmonious, you must treat everyone equally."

"It's obvious that Second Aunt wanted to swallow my father-in-law's money. It would be fine if you didn't blame her, but you blame us instead."

"When you defended them, did you ever think about hurting your father-in-law's heart and Yanfeng's heart?"

"If a family has a conflict, instead of trying to resolve it, they just cover it up, which will only lead to the conflict exploding one day."

"How can the two families live together in the future? Even if Yanfeng wants to help his cousins, he probably won't do that after what happened."

After hearing the last sentence, the Second Madam and the Second Master's faces turned pale instantly.

No matter what, their family will still have to rely on Shen Yanfeng's help in the future.

If I fall out with them now, it will be difficult to get his help in the future.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen hurriedly said, "Su Jin is right. I really didn't think it through."

"You should figure out what should be what. If they really did something wrong, I will be the first one to teach them a lesson."

The old man has lived to such an old age, so he naturally knows the interests involved.

As an elder, he naturally hopes that all three families can prosper and that his official career will be bright.

Jiang Sujin: "Okay, then I'll calculate it carefully."

"If I have wronged Second Aunt, I will naturally apologize to her."

Jiang Sujin: "But if Second Aunt is really corrupt and commits corruption, then I will certainly not turn a blind eye."

Upon hearing this, the second lady's face turned pale instantly: "There is absolutely no problem with the account I calculated."

Jiang Sujin: "Okay, then let's wait and see!"

At this time, the servants had already started packing the account books into wooden boxes, preparing to send them to the princess's yard.

Shen Changfeng was very satisfied with what Jiang Sujin did today. In this way, he could find out how much silver the second family had embezzled with just one investigation.

Although he didn't want to hurt feelings, they were really going too far.

After Jiang Sujin took away all the account books, she began to look at them carefully.

Shen Yanfeng looked at the pile of account books and naturally felt sorry for Jiang Sujin.

Although he hated doing the accounting, he still helped Jiang Sujin look at the account book.

At the same time, he also called the housekeeper to help them check the account books.

The three of them were looking at the mountain of account books until late at night, but they still hadn't finished reading them.

Jiang Sujin recorded all the problematic account books and put them in a separate place.

At the beginning, the old lady was the one who kept the account book, so there was naturally no problem. But when the second lady started to keep the account book, the account book became obviously a mess.

At that time, the old lady said that neither she nor the third brother were the type to settle accounts.

Later, the old lady passed away, and this task naturally fell on her.

Although the second wife was not very good at keeping accounts, she still had some ability to steal accounts.

It's just that she was too stupid, so everything she did was obviously stolen.
