When Nangong Rou heard this, she hurriedly said, "Older Sister, Uncle Hua has money and has always used good quality ink. But my cousin's family is poor, how could he afford to buy good quality ink? There are many students like my cousin outside who can't afford good quality ink and can only buy poor quality ink. There are so many people who buy poor quality ink. You can't casually suspect my cousin because of this, right? Are you targeting me because he's my cousin? "
When she finished speaking, she pitifully wiped away her tears.
Yun Ruoyue sneered, "I'm just stating facts. Alright, let's not talk about Uncle Hua being framed. Let's check your cousin's account book and see how he remembers it."
When Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, she looked at Uncle Hua and the steward, "Uncle Hua, steward, help me check if there are any mistakes in Li Xiucai's account book."
"Yes, Your Highness." When the two of them finished speaking, they hurriedly picked up Li Xiucai's account book and started to check.
Yun Ruoyue also picked up an account book and carefully looked at it.
Li Xiucai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He kept winking at Nangong Rou, asking Nangong Rou to think of a solution.
Nangong Rou stood there gloomily and bit her lip. She couldn't think of a solution.
At this moment, Yun Ruoyue suddenly pointed at the account book in her hand and said, "Li Xiucai, on the fifth day of the first month, our residence spent three hundred taels of silver just to buy vegetables and meat?"
Li Xiucai felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness."
"This book shows that the money was withdrawn by Nanny Zhang. Nanny Zhang, did you withdraw three hundred taels of silver to buy meat and vegetables at that time?" Yun Ruoyue looked at Nanny Zhang, who was beaten to the point of death.
Nanny Zhang had already been beaten thirty times. Now, her clothes were ragged and her back was covered in blood. No one cared about her at all.
When she heard the princess consort's question, she glared at her and coldly said, "Yes."
mark(“zhong“);
"What kind of meat and vegetables would cost so much money?" Yun Ruoyue asked coldly.
Ordinary families would only need a dozen or so taels of silver a year to eat.
No matter how extravagant their Wangfu was, they wouldn't spend three hundred taels of silver in one go.
If this went on, how could Chu Xuanchen's family property withstand such a waste?
"It's the amount of vegetables and meat that the Prince's Mansion will have for three days. There are many people in the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince is honorable. Of course, we have to buy the best for everything." Mama Zhang said in a deep voice.
"It's only been three days and we're already spending three hundred taels of silver. If this were to spread out, what would people say about our Wangfu?" After Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, she continued, "Also, the ten bags of rice here actually cost a hundred taels of silver? For an ordinary family, ten bags of rice would cost at most five taels of silver. What kind of rice is this? Why is it so expensive? "
Granny Zhang's eyelids drooped as she said, "That's because Wangfei hasn't seen the world. This is the best rice in Yuxiang Zhai. It's specially for the imperial family and high officials. It's different from ordinary rice. Of course, it's expensive."
"What about here? Vice Consort, you spent a thousand taels of silver just to buy a piece of clothing? What kind of clothing is this? Why is it so expensive? "Yun Ruoyue checked and found that there was a big problem with this account.
Moreover, this was a crime committed by many people and colluded with each other to succeed.
When Nangong Rou heard this, she was so frightened that her heart trembled. She hurriedly said, "This is a piece of clothing made from mulberry silk. It's supplemented with gold thread and golden spider thread, so it's more expensive. At that time, I asked Dan 'er to go to the account room to get money to buy these clothes with the Prince's permission. "
In other words, Chu Xuanchen agreed with her and the Princess Consort shouldn't blame her.
Yun Ruoyue looked coldly at Nangong Rou and said, "Vice Consort, you caught a cold last time and spent two thousand taels of silver to hire a doctor?"
