The Devious First-Daughter

Chapter 240 What if I Can't Find the Dowry List

The tea in the room was set down, and all the idlers retreated. Before Ning Qingshan left, she clenched her fists in hatred. She felt like she was being used by someone, and her resentful eyes turned around Ning Xueyan. , but had to retreat under Mrs. Tai's complicated and angry eyes.

Madam Tai was originally displeased with what happened yesterday, but because she brought out Ling's matter today, Madam Tai must have suspicions about herself, so for the time being, she still needs to be cautious and not make any deviations.

In the room, Mrs. Tai sat at the top, Ming Feiyong sat on the left, Ning Zuan sat on the right, Ning Xueyan stood beside Mrs. Tai and lowered her head, looking at a loss, no one saw her. Under the lowered eyes, those black jade-like pupils were cold and mocking.

Use Ning Qingfan to expose the matter, even if Mrs. Tai wanted to investigate afterwards, she would not be able to find out about herself.

As for those missing ledgers, Ning Xueyan guessed that Ling's must have hidden them well, and I'm afraid they won't be able to find them for a while. It's the best way to find something from these new ledgers. I've heard that these shops are not as profitable as before. At that time, Ning Xueyan had a heart, thinking that there must be something tricky in it.

In the hands of the Ming family, this is all a money-making business. How come it is in the hands of the Ling family? There is so much difference. With Ling's shrewdness, he didn't say anything. This is the most incomprehensible place, unless the Ling family I knew, and thinking about it more deeply, it was Ling who asked them to report this amount, and those poor silver taels would naturally go into Ling's pocket.

There is a private house in Ling's pocket, these things are actually easy to check.

Especially after Ning Xueyan looked at the account, she has a better understanding of the economy of the entire Huguohou Mansion. There is not much money in the entire account, and there is not much left over after it is enough for expenses. There are deductions, but they can't deduct much, but in the last life, she knew clearly that the Ling family is rich and powerful.

For Ning Ziyan and Ning Yuling, buying a set of jewelry, the jewelry fee for one year does not know how much silver taels, and there are two people's clothes. I gave myself one or two sets, and I was generous, and I knew at a glance that I was not short of money.

Where did Ling's come from for such a large part of the money?

The relationship between Mrs. Tai and the Ling family has always been lukewarm. It is impossible for Mrs. Tai to have money for her, and it is impossible for Ning Zuan to pay so much more money, and then contact the store for a sudden drop in revenue. The matter became clear, Ling's made money in it, and made a lot of money.

Of course, the money was swayed silently, and it was impossible for Madam Tai to notice. The most likely thing Ling could do was to make a set of fake accounts and send them to the mansion to reimburse Madam Tai.

In the past years, because Ling was operating alone, of course there would be no discovery, but now she deliberately got Ling to be locked up in the Buddhist hall, and took care of the account books before Ling came out, so that the shopkeepers would be closed at the end of the year. She had to report to herself. Of course, in order to prevent those shopkeepers from finding other excuses for not coming, Ning Xueyan went out to warn them.

Most of these shopkeepers are Ling's confidantes, and they must wait for Ling to come out to repay the credit, and they will inevitably find a few fake ledgers, but some of them are wait-and-see attitudes, like the shopkeeper Yu, or they may even treat the original boss. There is still a thought, and of course there are some timid ones, as long as they are a little intimidated, they will definitely report the truth.

One is true and the other is false, and the profits obtained vary too much, so this knot can be untied from here.

Things can also start from here!

It was of course arranged for Ming Feiyong to appear in the Huguohou's Mansion today, otherwise with Ning Xueyan's power, it would be impossible to make a big fuss.

Now that everyone is sitting in Xiangfu Garden, Mrs. Tai has moved everyone else out, just to put on a good negotiation, and want to make this big and small matter small.

Swallowing his wife's dowry, this kind of thing is not only embarrassing for a man, but also makes people feel that his morals are low.

"Mrs. Ning, how can you give my sister justice." Ming Feiyong looked up at Mrs. Tai coldly, his expression condensed. Ever since his own sister had an accident, he had no intention of recognizing Mrs. Tai as an aunt again.

"Fei Yong, is this a mistake? These shops..." Mrs. Tai sighed, trying to explain in a roundabout way.

"If Mrs. Tai still says that, then let's see you in court. Just now I had someone take away those shopkeepers." Ming Feiyong directly interrupted Mrs. Tai's refusal, and raised his head , with a chilling look on his face.

When he just entered the door, he deliberately asked two guards to carry two people to the door, and his people were at the door of the mansion.

"Fei Yong, don't worry, my aunt is really talking to you, if it's true, I'll definitely give it to the fifth girl." After hearing that Ming Feiyong didn't mean to compromise at all, Mrs. Tai was also anxious, and quickly comforted her, Then he smiled gently at Ning Xueyan who was standing aside, "Fifth girl, go and take out your mother's dowry list at that time."

"Yes, Yan'er will be picked up right away." Ning Xueyan nodded obediently, and told Lan Ning, who was standing by the side, to go to Shishuang Courtyard to find Nanny Han and find her mother's dowry list. Send it over, Lan Ning nodded and retreated.

Listening to Ning Xueyan's instructions, Lan Ning went to find the Ming family's dowry list first, and Mrs. Tai was secretly relieved. She had heard Ling's explanation that the dowry list was gone. Without the dowry list, Ming Fei What's the use of Yong's alone, even though the Ming government still has a dowry list, but it doesn't match, it can also show that the one in Fei Yong's hand is a fake.

There is no factual evidence, even if it proves that the shopkeeper reported a false account, it is also an internal relationship in the Huguohou Mansion. It does not matter if Yu Ming Feiyong is an outsider. Of course, Ning Zuan did not have the scandal of embezzling his wife's dowry. Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai's heart The stone fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Fei Yong, when you married your younger sister, although there were a few shops, but later, you also know... In such a state of chaos, whoever doesn't lose a few shops, and how many can keep them, we These few houses were all added later and have nothing to do with the Ming family." Mrs. Tai said hypocritically, with a gentler smile on her face.

In the midst of the war, it was true that many people, not to mention shops, even their homes were destroyed, and people died. This is quite a good reason.

It’s just that this matter doesn’t make sense with Ning Zu’an. The previous dynasty was ruined, but Ning Zu’an became a new rich man. How could he lose his family’s shop? At first glance, it’s clear that Mrs. Tai said this on purpose. Shan Zi forcibly swallowed Ming's dowry.

"Tai Furen should see the dowry list before saying this." Ming Feiyong was not easy to be fooled, and said calmly, his expression regained his composure.

"What if I can't find the dowry list?" Mrs. Tai thought that Ming Fei had been tricked, her eyes lit up immediately, and she followed up and asked.

There was a sneer on the corners of Ning Xueyan's lips, Mrs. Tai really embezzled Ming's dowry together with Ling, she really didn't know anything about what Ling did, even Ling stole Ming's dowry list I also know, it can be seen that she deliberately let Ling do this in her heart.

"Then what if we find the dowry list?" Ming Feiyong didn't answer Mrs. Tai's words, but gave Ning Zu'an a cold look, and asked mockingly.

Seeing Ming Feiyong's mocking expression, Ning Zu'an was also angry. In the previous dynasty, he was under Ming Feiyong. Now that he is in the new dynasty, he is the minister of power and the upstart. He is deeply loved by the current emperor. Trust, how could he be underestimated by Ming Feiyong, who is not as good as himself, let alone some things, he knows it well.

Immediately he raised his chest: "Brother, don't worry, if the dowry list says Ming's, I will transfer it to Yan'er without further ado. From now on, it will be Yan'er's dowry, and no one can embezzle it."

"What does Mrs. Tai mean?" Ming Feiyong turned to Mrs. Tai, looking like he didn't quite believe in Ning Zu'an. Ning Zu'an's brow veins were straight and violent. He was a dignified protector of the country, and his credibility was not as good as that. How could a woman in the backyard not make him raise his eyebrows angrily.

"Zu An's meaning is what I mean. It has been many years. The Ling family is in charge of everything in this backyard. If Wu girl can get a list to prove that it really belongs to the Ming family, then of course it will be returned to the Wu girl. Girl." Mrs. Tai said sternly, supporting her son.

Of course, she didn't forget to put all the responsibility on Ling Shi.

Ning Xueyan couldn't help sneering, even though Mrs. Tai was sure of everything, she still couldn't help but put the blame on Ling Shi, dog bite dog, mouth hairy.

"Since Mrs. Tai said so, then I will trust you one more time. Do you want me to send someone to our mansion to get the dowry list?" Ming Feiyong sneered and said mockingly.

This means that if Mrs. Tai doesn't believe it, she can send someone to correct it.

"Then there's no need, Fei Yong, doesn't auntie still believe you!" Mrs. Tai shook her hand generously, with a look of generosity that was unnecessary.

Everyone knows that there is usually a separate archive for this kind of dowry list. Because of Ming Feiyong's surrender, the Ming government did not suffer much. As long as all the personal belongings are there, the dowry list is of course impossible to lose, and Seeing the dowry list caused unnecessary disputes, so Mrs. Tai wisely chose not to bring it.

In fact, where did Ming Feiyong still have the dowry list in his hand, he gave it all to Ning Xueyan in case she didn't know what she needed. If Mrs. Tai asked him to get it, she would definitely not be able to get it out, but Mrs. Tai didn't dare, of course Ning Xueyan calculated that Mrs. Yitai's disposition is meticulous in everything, so of course she would not do such a stupid thing, which Ning Xueyan had expected a long time ago.

"So the dowry list in Yan'er's hand shall prevail?"

"The list in Wu Yatou's hand shall prevail."

While talking, Lan Ning ran over panting, and handed the list to Ning Xueyan: "Girl, Nanny Han found the dowry list for his wife, here it is."

Speaking of presenting it, Ning Xueyan reached out to take it, which was the one that Ming Feiyong gave her before.

Is there really a dowry list? The smiles on Mrs. Tai and Ning Zuan's faces froze. The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help revealing anger. They were stuck on a horse for a while.

"Fifth girl..." Mrs. Tai couldn't help opening her mouth, she wanted to intercept this list, as long as Ming Feiyong couldn't see this list, she could mess up the matter, of course what Ning Xueyan meant, too Madam felt that it was not a problem at all, as long as Ning Xueyan was still in the mansion, she would not dare to disobey her words.

So when Mrs. Tai stared at Ning Xueyan with a cold expression, and put invisible pressure on Ning Xueyan, an accident just happened.
