When she heard that her daughter could save the bride, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but show joy on her face.
And when Mrs. Wang finally heard and asked how much cash the warehouse could convert, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had not spoken for a long time, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng also changed their faces, and had a bad premonition in their hearts.
After a long while, Mrs. Wang said calmly: "Mother, sir, the current silver in the warehouse is less than one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"How many?"
Upon hearing this number, Jia Mu's body swayed and she almost fell off the chair. Fortunately, the mandarin duck serving next to her helped her in time.
Mother Jia asked in shock and anger: "When you entered my Jia family and I handed you over to take care of the warehouse, there were still more than 600,000 taels of silver in the warehouse."
"Now that you have been a master for twenty years, how come you only have this little money left? Where did the five hundred thousand taels of silver go? Does Brother Feng know about this?"
After Mrs. Wang entered Jia's house, Jia's mother gradually delegated power and handed over all matters in the house to Mrs. Wang.
Later, Wang Xifeng came in, and Jia Mu gave the job to Wang Xifeng. However, the warehouse has always been managed by Mrs. Wang, and the key to the warehouse is in her hand.
Even if Wang Xifeng wants to find something, she has to go to Mrs. Wang to get the key.
If Wang Xifeng knew about this, the two women from the Wang family would have evacuated the entire Jia family.
Now there is less than one hundred thousand taels of silver left in the warehouse!
If something happens, what use can these one hundred thousand taels of silver be used for?
Mrs. Wang hesitated and stopped talking.
At this moment, Jia Zheng, who didn't care about anything, was anxious.
He said angrily: "You are talking? Even though I have not done anything these years, I know that my family has not spent a lot of money. Where did these five hundred thousand taels of silver go? Could it be that you moved them into your house? ?”
Jia Zheng was angry, and Mrs. Wang stood up quickly and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, Master, my daughter-in-law does not dare to spend a penny of these five hundred thousand taels of silver."
"My brother promoted the control of nine provinces and was ordered to inspect the border. After returning, he needed to take care of everything. The Wang family couldn't come up with so much money for a while, so they borrowed some from me."
"These five hundred thousand taels of silver were borrowed by my brother for management. As a result, my brother was promoted to nine provinces for inspection. I also wanted to tell my mother at that time. My brother said that he would be able to return it in a few days, so there was no need to alarm the old emperor. .”
"Unexpectedly, there have been many incidents in the Wang family since then, but they have never been able to free up this money. Brother Feng didn't know about this matter, and I never told her before."
Hearing this, Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang with cold eyes.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver!
Now this greedy woman used it to subsidize her natal brother. Now she wants to build a villa for relatives at home, but she can't get the money.
Mother Jia took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice: "Let me ask you, are you the daughter of the Wang family now? Or are you the wife of my Jia family?"
Mrs. Wang's knees weakened and she couldn't help but kneel down in front of Jia's mother and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, since she has entered the Jia family, her daughter-in-law will naturally be the wife of the Jia family. She will be a Jia family member when she is born and a ghost of the Jia family when she dies."
Mother Jia snorted coldly: "You still know that you are the wife of the Jia family? I thought you only knew that you were the daughter of the Wang family! Since you are the wife of the Jia family, why do you use all the money from my Jia family to subsidize your parents' family?"
"If it's three to twenty thousand taels of silver, you can just take it and treat it all as charity. But you have emptied all the wealth of my Jia family! You are trying to destroy my Jia family!"
Mrs. Wang knelt on the ground and cried: "My daughter-in-law knows her mistake, but she never has such evil intentions. Please mother, please spare me this time."
Jia Zheng was trembling with anger. He pointed at Mrs. Wang and shouted: "You are such a poisonous woman. If I keep you, you will only harm my Jia family. Now I write a letter of divorce and divorce you, such a poisonous woman!" Just go and be your royal daughter!"
After all, Jia Zheng was going to find paper and pen to write a letter of divorce to divorce Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was shocked. She quickly hugged Jia Zheng's legs and begged.
Jia Zheng did not relent at all and insisted on writing a letter of divorce.
Jia Mu shouted: "Zheng'er, that's enough! Do you have to make the incident known to the whole government and let outsiders come to see my Jia family's joke?"
Jia Zheng also knelt on the ground and cried: "Mom, this vicious woman married into my family, but she only cares about her mother's family. She even carried out mother and me behind her back and did such evil things. How can our Jia family tolerate it?" Get him off?"
Jia's mother said irritably: "Well, she married into my Jia family and gave birth to a daughter and two sons for you. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Don't mention the divorce."
In fact, why did Jia Mu not want to divorce her daughter-in-law?
However, she is the eldest girl's biological mother after all. Not long after the eldest girl was named the imperial concubine, her biological mother was divorced and returned home.
This is not good for the reputation of the imperial concubine. Therefore, it is absolutely not possible to divorce your wife. Even if you die, you can only die in the Jia family.
Taking another deep breath, Mother Jia asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, my Jia family is now building a provincial residence for the imperial concubine to have a wedding. How much can the Wang family repay the five hundred thousand taels of silver?"
If you can pay it all back, of course it would be best. Even if I can't pay them all back, even if I pay back three or four hundred thousand taels of silver and lend them some loans, I can barely do it.
Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while and said, "Mother, master, and daughter-in-law are also thinking about this money."
"Even before we knew about the construction of the provincial residence, my daughter-in-law asked the Wang family for help several times. But the Wang family is getting more and more difficult now, and they really can't afford so much. At most, they can only pay back thirty to fifty thousand taels."
Hearing these words, Jia Mu felt her heart pounding suddenly, and suddenly small stars flashed in front of her eyes. Before she could take a breath, her eyesight went dark, and she fell backwards.
Yuanyang helped Jia's mother in time. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang rushed forward in a hurry and carried her to the bed in the back room.
After some pinching, Jia Mu woke up leisurely.
After waking up, Jia Mu had tears streaming down her face, her eyes closed, and she murmured something. If you listened carefully, it was clearly the word sin.
After a long while, Jia Mu shouted: "Help me up."
Jia Zheng wanted to persuade him, but his mother stopped him.
Mother Jia sat back on the bed and said, "Now my Jia family still has 150,000 taels of silver outside. If the Wang family still has 50,000 taels, this will be 200,000 taels."
"If you have a big house and a second house, you can spend 50,000 yuan as a family. In total, you only have 300,000 taels of silver."
"Even if the old woman takes out everything from the bottom of the box, she will only get five hundred thousand taels of silver at most. Now there is still a shortfall of five hundred thousand taels."
"Where can we find these five hundred thousand taels? How can our family build a provincial residence?"
"Is it possible that other families have taken the princess home to visit relatives, but my Jia family has not accepted her? How will outsiders laugh at my Jia family? How should the eldest daughter deal with herself in the backyard of the palace?"
While talking, Jia Mu shed tears.
Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has a way."
