All the Gold and Jade: Princess Consort

Chapter 39: Mother-daughter talk after the account check【If you want to do something, just do it, mother will not interfere with you anymore. 】

With Yubaozhai's loss of power, the business is not as good as before, and some of the store's employees have also resigned one after another.

Sun didn't say anything about the clerk's resignation, but Xu Heng knew that Sun was unhappy. Although the Xu family didn't collapse, a dozen or so clerks handed in their resignations together, which really disturbed the other clerks in the store. military spirit.

Everyone was discussing in private, whether Yubaozhai was about to collapse.

On this day when Xu Heng returned to Xu's house, she saw Mrs. Sun covering her waist with her backhand and checking the accounts in the warehouse of Xu's mansion. The accounts of Xu's mansion have always been taken care of by her sister-in-law Wang. At this time, Wang just stood there with her head bowed. On the side, seeing Xu Heng came to salute, she smiled and called "Second Uncle", Xu Heng also bowed back and called "Sister-in-law".

Seeing Xu Heng of the Wang family suddenly remembered that the eldest brother spent a lot of money in Zuishenglou for that oiran. Recently, there were too many things in Xu's mansion, and she forgot about it. Don't tell Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Sun collected the ledger in her hand, and asked Wang with a sullen face, "Have you really counted the money in the treasury?"

When Wang heard that Sun's tone was not friendly, she panicked: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law has counted three times this morning, and she has confirmed that it is correct."

"Confirmed?" Sun said with a cold face, "There is a difference of 5000 taels between the money in the library and the account, how dare you say that it is correct!"

When Wang heard that the amount was huge, her face turned pale with fright: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law did count this morning, there will be no mistakes."

Mrs. Sun snorted coldly, and just about to continue to reprimand, Xu Heng interrupted: "Mother, who knows who took it for urgent use, before I have time to tell my sister-in-law, don't be angry."

Sun turned to look at Xu Heng and said, "There are two keys to this warehouse, one here for me and one for Yutan. Tell me, where did you get the third key?"

Yutan is Xu Heng's sister-in-law, Xu Quan's official wife Wang Shi, her surname is Wang and her name is Yutan.

Xu Heng frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.On the other hand, Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Wang with a sneer and said, "I'm afraid that someone wants to cover up someone intentionally. If you take the blame yourself, and follow the family rules to guard the self-thief, you will be expelled from Xu's house first, and then reported to the government for handling." .”

Mrs. Sun's voice was not loud, but it made Mrs. Wang tremble with fright.Sun took advantage of the situation and asked, "Yutan, do you still want to hide it for Xu Quan?"

"Mother-in-law..." Wang Shi finally calmed down: "So you already know."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Sun couldn't get angry anymore, threw the account book on the table, and sighed: "You indulge your husband-in-law so much, do you know that this is harming him? As the eldest son and grandson of the Xu family, A Quan, One day he will be in power, and with his current state, how can I trust him with the big key?"

"Daughter-in-law knows it's wrong." Wang said timidly.

Mrs. Sun ignored her, but looked at Xu Heng and said, "Come back to the room with me."

Xu Heng replied: "Okay, mother."

Xu Heng followed Sun back to the room, and while Sun couldn't see, he turned his hand and gestured to his sister-in-law Wang, meaning to tell her to go first.

Wang's heart warmed, and he hurried back to the room without resting his legs.Xu Heng also followed Sun to the room where Sun lived.

Mrs. Sun sat down covering her waist with her hands behind her back. Xu Heng quickly stood behind Mrs. Sun and squeezed her shoulders and beat her back.

Xu Heng's movements in his hands were slow and orderly, and the pain on Sun's body was indeed reduced, and he closed his eyes unknowingly.

Xu Heng said with concern: "Mother, your waist is starting to hurt again."

Mrs. Sun didn't reply, Xu Heng knew what was in his mind, and continued to instruct: "It's been windy recently, if you're not feeling well, you should be less exposed to the wind, and leave everything to elder brother. Eldest brother has been in Yubaozhai for some time, and he has a share. Take it easy."

"If he can distinguish the priorities, he won't take the money from the treasury privately." Sun opened his eyes, which were dim and unclear, as if he was weighing something.

"Brother, maybe there is something urgent." Xu Heng told a white lie.

"Where did the urgent matter come from? What urgent matter can be as urgent as Yubaozhai?"

Xu Heng was speechless, and felt that Xu Quan was to blame for it. He spent a lot of money for a brothel girl, and it was really a bit unclear.

Sun thought it over and said: "Ah Heng, for my mother's sake, one day Yubaozhai will still be handed over to you."

"How is this possible!" Xu Heng said in surprise: "Mother, you know that I am not a man from the Xu family, let alone a third brother."

Sun sighed again: "Don't think I don't know, Lin'er is all about martial arts, so why would he put his mind on Yubaozhai?"

"Mom... I..."

"Okay, don't talk about it," Sun interrupted with a wave of his hand, turned around and looked at Xu Heng behind him, his eyes were like a torch: "Mother knows that you have been wronged by making you a foolish son-in-law, and I blame me. If you are too outstanding, you will be framed by others, but if you break your wings and let you do nothing all day long, it is not what I want. No mother in the world would want her child to be able to compete."

Xu Heng listened blankly, thinking of Yongyan's usual care for him, and said: "Mom, I'm fine now."

"A know daughter is like a mother, how can I not know you?" Sun said: "If you want to do something, go ahead and do it, mother will not interfere with you anymore. Besides, the Xu family's business is not as good as before. In the past few days, it has been even more difficult to make ends meet, and your elder brother is in this drunken state again..."

Sun's words were like clusters of small flames, ignited in Xu Heng's heart.She felt as if a fire had risen in her chest, but it was a false fire. Such a heavy burden was pressing on her, and she felt a little out of breath.

"Let me think about it." Xu Heng said.

Coming out of Xu's house, it was already late, almost dusk, and the sun had already gone by this time. Although it hadn't been cold as early as last month, Xu Heng still felt a bit chilly when the wind blew over.

As soon as she walked to the gate of the Princess Mansion, she heard someone calling her behind: "Second Young Master Xu, Second Young Master Xu, please don't leave."

Xu Heng turned his head, the man had already rushed to her, it was Liu Si, a mud monkey from the Four Seas Escort Bureau.

"What's the matter? You're so panting, could it be that your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for you, fourth brother? Come here in a hurry to ask me for a gift?"

Xu Heng pushed his shoulder, jokingly, no need to talk about etiquette and rules to the Jianghu people.

Shen San didn't have time to continue joking with her, and sighed: "Hey, Xu Ershao, you don't know, something happened, something big happened!"

Xu Heng felt something was wrong, and became serious: "What's going on? Take your time."

"Hey Second Young Master Xu, hurry up and save your life, something happened to our Second Master."

Xu Heng frowned: "What's wrong with the third brother!"

Liu Si was panting anxiously: "The eldest master said that the second master had committed adultery with his wife, and he wanted to kill the second master!"

Xu Heng let out a "bah" and cursed: "That old bastard still refuses to let third brother go, his life is long enough!"
