A dashing woman in a red dress with a high ponytail strode in from the door.
"I've met Heir Apparent, sister-in-law."
Xie Jin'an looked at it for a while and then asked, "Are you Fourth Brother's Wife?"
Zhong Youyan smiled slightly, "It's me. During this period, my sister-in-law is not doing anything, so Fourth Master is in charge of the house for the time being. Now that Fourth Master has married me, I will temporarily manage the affairs of the house on behalf of Fourth Master. What, Heir Apparent has any opinion on Third Master's affairs?"
Xie Jin'an twitched his lips, "This matter needs to be discussed with Fourth Brother and my mother before making a decision. Although you are in charge of Inner Residence's affairs, Cousin Li is also a serious Miss, so this matter cannot be done hastily."
Zhong Youyan smiled slightly, "Heir Apparent means that I don't have to worry about it, right?"
"Yes, you don't need to worry about this anymore."
"I have made a decision on this matter. If I change it, I will not interfere with anything else. I am afraid that the servants will not be convinced. Please Heir Apparent, please tell Mother-in-law that after this matter, I will never interfere in anything again!"
After Zhong Youyan finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, turned around and left.
Xie Jin'an was stunned in place. He only knew that Zhong Family's Daughter was arrogant, but he didn't expect to be so arrogant and rude.
Liu Wan also sighed slightly and left.
The rest of the people arrived one after another, and Xie Jin'an took them to see Madam Li.
Madam Li was away for several years, and now he has just come back. As soon as he came back, he became Coal Spirit, and was sent to Anyuan County as the mascot.
I don't have time to take a good look at the accounts.
After she woke up, Accountant hurriedly sent her the account books for the past few months.
"It's such a big fuss, madam, there is no Mistress of the Household accountant in the house, and the regular bank accounts of each hospital have not been issued for four months. You are back, come and take a look!"
Madam Li frowned and flipped through a few pages. When he saw the large loss, he almost fainted.
"You obviously didn't lose that much a few months ago, so why didn't you stop the loss and close that store in time?"
"Also, why do you spend so much money on prison management? Why don't you give out prison money to your servants first?"
"Aren't these accounts all stable a few years ago? How come I've only been down the mountain for a few months and I've already lost so much money?"
One hundred and eighty thousand taels!
Even if she sold all the dowry she brought from the Li Family, she still wouldn't be able to raise that much money.
What's more, she has no intention of selling it.
Accountant lowered his head, "Before, Eldest Madam was running the business outside. After you took over Zhong Kui, Eldest Madam became ill. No one could make the final decision on such a big thing as selling off the store, so it has been operating at a loss."
"Inner Residence's financial expenses were smooth because Eldest Madam subsidized his own money. In the past few months, my regular money was withdrawn by Fourth Master to save Third Master and... and Concubine Xu's father. Of course, I can't pay it out."
The implication is that without Liu Wan balancing it, Marquis's Residence cannot be paid at all.
Master in each hospital all have money, but no one will use it for public use.
Therefore, Marquis's Residence Inner Residence cannot be separated from Eldest Madam.
It's hard for Madam to target Eldest Madam like this, Accountant.
Why would such a capable person like Eldest Madam be so targeted by them? Even Concubine could bully her.
Madam Li had a pale face and trembling lips, "If these accounts are handed over to Liu Wan, is there any room for redemption?"
Accountant shook his head, "Madam, it's too late. If you had handed over the control of the house to Eldest Madam a few months ago before you went to Anyuan County, maybe the situation wouldn't be so bad."
"Now, no matter who takes care of this debt, they can't recover it. They can only close Golden Radiance Jewelry Shop and those few shops, and then make up for it with 180,000 taels."
"What if it can't be made up? What will happen?"
Madam Li's legs went weak and she fell onto the low couch. She raised her head numbly and asked.
"If it cannot be made up, the creditor will report it to the government and all the shops under the name of Marquis's Residence and Residence will be liquidated. There will not be much shops and real estate left.
"One hundred and eighty thousand taels is not a small amount..."
Mr. Accountant sighed and continued, "Selling Marquis's Residence's ancestral home can almost pay off."
As soon as this statement came out.
Madam Li completely collapsed on the low couch, and the huge pressure made it difficult for her to breathe.
She felt like the sky was falling.
I never expected that a decision I made out of anger would cause this debt to spiral out of control.
But this can't be entirely her fault. Who makes Marquis's Residence so nervous that Liu Wan still needs money to go out to ride with Congee Shed?
Who asked Liu Wan to punish Xu Rourou in front of her?
Who told Liu Wan to have no respect for her at all?
Can...
Madam Li paused, she didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it.
Facts have proved that Liu Wan is right. If she agreed to ride with Congee Shed at that time, maybe she would be Imperial Lady.
Maybe Marquis's Residence will be taken seriously by His Majesty and rise again.
When she was going down the mountain, she was struck dumb by lightning, and then locked up in Jail for a night, she became so angry that she lost her head.
Yes, she did it wrong!
If she had another chance to do it again, she would definitely not leave Liu Wan orphans and widows in Golden Mountain Temple.
He won't care how she teaches Xu Rourou, and he won't take away the right to be the head of the family and pick up this mess by himself.
She regretted it!
I regret so much that my heart aches.
Marquis's Residence will be destroyed in her hands. When the time comes, even if she dies, she will not be able to enter Xie family's ancestral grave.
She is the sinner of Xie family!
Thinking of this, Madam Li felt numb all over.
"Madam, Rong Xiao is too talkative. Eldest Madam has done her best for Marquis's Residence since she got married. Almost everyone in the house has taken advantage of her kindness. She takes care of the account books and even posts her own dowry. Go out and ask, which daughter-in-law can do this?"
"But what she has experienced during this period is far from what she has put in. She was very kind to every Marquis's Residence and every Master. I don't understand why the Masters of Marquis's Residence have such an attitude towards her."
Accountant sighed slightly as he spoke.
Madam Li rolled his eyes at him, "That's enough! You can't talk too much about Master!"
"Yes, I have one more thing to do today." Accountant stopped mentioning Liu Wan and stepped forward to put down an envelope.
The two words "resignation" deeply hurt Madam Li's eyes, "You... you have been at Marquis's Residence for more than ten years, and Marquis's Residence has treated you well. Now just because your salary has not been paid for several months, you are leaving Marquis's Residence?"
Accountant is gone, if this huge debt cannot be paid.
When Government Office is investigated in the future, who will take the blame?
