Bai Lingyue's words made Mrs. Bai so angry that she could not speak. However, her palace was much higher than that of Aunt Yun, so her face did not show too much emotion.
"Lingyue, it's not that grandma doesn't believe you. You are still a child and don't understand many things. If your mother's property hadn't been managed well by Aunt Yun over the years, it might have been lost long ago.
You should leave those matters to your Aunt Yun. "
Mrs. Bai did not speak to Bai Lingyue in a tone of discussion, but in a commanding tone.
"Grandma, I'm old enough to know everything. Those shops were profitable a few years ago, but now none of them ask my mother for money, and they all say they are losing money.
Since there is a loss, my granddaughter has replaced those people, wouldn't it be a good idea to choose new people to come in? "
Bai Lingyue also grabbed her mother's dowry and refused to let go.
Mrs. Bai really wanted to kick Bai Lingyue out, but now that Aunt Mei and Aunt Jin were here, if she and Aunt Yun did not handle the matter of Zhou Luoyi's dowry together, her Gu family's reputation would be ruined if word spread. There is no more.
"The master and the two young masters are back from the court." At this time, Mr. Bai took his two sons, Bai Zixiang and Bai Zirui, to the court. When he returned home, he heard that Bai Lingyue had collected all Zhou Luoyi's dowry yesterday. go back.
Now being conveyed by Mrs. Bai, he suddenly became angry when he heard that Bai Lingyue had asked for Zhou Luoyi's dowry back.
Like mother, like daughter. Bai Zixiang and Bai Zirui also felt that their sister had gone too far, so they came with their father to have a look. It would be best if they could help their grandmother teach Bai Lingyue a lesson.
Mrs. Bai was so angry that she had nothing to say. It would be great if her son and grandson came back. Bai Lingyue had always been afraid of her father and brother, so it would be fine to let them talk about her. Of course, it would be best if she could give her a beating. OK
"Master Xiang, are you back?"
When Prime Minister Bai walked into the front hall, several aunts saluted him.
Prime Minister Bai waved his hand, and he saw Bai Lingyue standing in the middle, her thin waist straight and straight.
"Bai Lingyue, what's the matter with you? Don't you take the elders in your family seriously?" Bai Zixiang spoke before Prime Minister Bai could speak.
"Yes, our family is harmonious and beautiful, but you are restless all day long." Bai Zirui also helped the elder brother, and this little girl was really getting more and more outrageous.
Bai Lingyue was amused by their words.
"Your family is all harmonious and beautiful? Without these dowries from my mother, do you think you would live such a comfortable life?"
Bai Lingyue glanced at the two of them and said with a sneer.
As soon as she said this, Prime Minister Bai couldn't hold back his old face. What do you mean? Does this family rely on Zhou Luoyi's dowry? Doesn't his monthly salary and the previous wealth of the Bai family count?
"Bai Lingyue, you are such a white-eyed wolf. You were born in the Bai family, and everything you eat and drink is provided by the Bai family. Now you actually say that your mother is raising the entire Bai family? Although our Bai family is not what It is impossible for a wealthy and wealthy family to lack your food and clothing."
Prime Minister Bai said very angrily.
"Oh, Prime Minister Bai, you said that the Bai family raised me? Then where have my money gone over the years? Didn't Aunt Yun say that the family had financial difficulties and asked us to live frugally? What if it wasn't for my mother's financial support? , maybe I’m starved to death now.”
Bai Lingyue also bluntly told the story that she had not received monthly silver in these years.
Prime Minister Bai became even more angry when he heard this: "Bai Lingyue, you dare to say anything to frame your aunt! I really don't know how your mother was raised to be so vicious. How has our Bai family ever done such a thing? ?”
He spoke impassionedly, but Aunt Yun's expression was not very good.
Bai Zirui and Bai Zixiang on the side looked at Bai Lingyue with anger. How could they have such a sister who could tell lies without blushing.
"Bai Lingyue, my aunt treats you better than her own daughter. How can you bear to slander her like this?"
Bai Zirui's hands were itchy. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have really wanted to teach Bai Lingyue a good lesson.
"Why did our Bai family raise a child like you, Bai Lingyue, doesn't your conscience hurt when you speak like this?" Bai Zixiang was also very disappointed with Bai Lingyue.
In their hearts, their sister is nothing but a troublemaker. Only Bai Yunlian should be their sister.
Facing her own brother's questioning, Bai Lingyue would have been very sad in the past, and would have compromised and begged them not to be angry, but now she really couldn't feed the dogs anymore.
"You are blind, but I am not blind. Since the White House has money, don't take advantage of your mother's dowry. Prime Minister Bai, using women's money is really embarrassing to your Prime Minister. I have used it before, please Make it up as soon as possible, and from now on - don't stretch your hand too long."
After Bai Lingyue finished speaking, Xiao Taohong came over with the accounting clerk in the house.
"Wang Accountant, I don't ask you to publish the account books of the past ten years, just publish the accounts of the past six months!"
Bai Lingyue said to Wang Accountant.
Accountant Wang looked at Mr. Bai timidly.
"Mr. Bai, you don't dare to announce it, do you?" Bai Lingyue looked at Mr. Bai and said with a smile.
What Mr. Bai hates most is that people say that he relied on his wife to rise to power. Now someone actually says that he relies on his wife to support him. If he doesn't make steamed buns to fight for his reputation, he will definitely slap Bai Lingyue in the face on the spot.
"Okay, you say." Prime Minister Bai spoke, and Wang Accountant announced the accounts for the past six months.
The income of the house consists of some shops and some fields in Baifu, which are not very good. Including the monthly payment from the prime minister and the monthly payment from several young masters for half a year, the total is 10,000 taels.
However, the Baifu's half-year expenditure is 25,000 taels, and Bai Yunlian's expenditure alone is 10,000 taels.
Nowadays, several aunts have stopped working. Why do their children only pay 500 taels in half a year, while Aunt Yun's daughter has to pay 10,000 taels in half a year.
"Do you have clear accounts? How come there are so many expenses?" Mr. Bai was confused when he heard this. He always thought that his monthly salary was very high, five hundred taels a month, plus the fields at home. You can live a prosperous life in the store.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I have recorded every detail of my records with evidence. In the past six months, I have not sent any monthly silver to the madam, nor to the eldest lady."
In order to prove his innocence, Accountant Wang also revealed the two things that should have been spent but were not.
Now the entire front hall fell silent.
"Master, we are all concubines, why should we treat them differently?" Aunt Mei spoke at this time.
"If it were to spend so much money on our legitimate daughter, we would have nothing to say." Aunt Jin said from the side.
These words made Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai lose their faces.
"Bai Lingyue, do you have to expose our family's scandal? What are your intentions?" Bai Zirui was still helping Aunt Yun at this time. He glared at Bai Lingyue hatefully and signaled her to make amends quickly.
