He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

The next morning, Chan Yi came to help Shen Qing wash up, and saw that her eyelids were dark blue, "Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shen Qing rubbed her eyebrows and nodded with a bit of spirit.

After washing up, Chan Yi dismissed all the maids, and while massaging Shen Qing's acupuncture points to relieve her pain, she asked, "Miss, are you worried about what happened last night?"

Shen Qing picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of bird's nest and put it in her mouth. It was the familiar taste as always, "No, he is not worth my attention."

Chan Yi was about to ask again, but saw Shen Qing pondering slightly, and then said, "Lu Yan is back."

Chan Yi was startled, and the fingers massaging the acupuncture points also paused.

Chan Yi has been with Shen Qing since childhood, so she knows what this name means very well. Chan Yi once felt that if Lu Yan's health was not too poor, it might not be a bad choice for Shen Qing, but now it is obviously meaningless to say these things.

Wait!

Shen Qing has been in the mansion these days, and all the news passed down from below has passed through her. She has no idea. Does that mean Lu Yan came directly?

"When did Mr. Lu come? How come I don't know?"

Shen Qing told the truth, "Last night."

Chan Yi looked slightly surprised. In the middle of the night?

After thinking for a moment, Chan Yi's face was dyed with a serious look, "Miss, if Mr. Lu comes again, you must tell me so that I can guard the door."

Shen Qing looked up at her, "Don't you think it violates etiquette?"

Chan Yi looked natural, "Etiquette and so on, if it was in the past, it would be fine to abide by it, but now, I think that as long as the young lady is happy, it's enough."

Yangling Marquis Mansion is not a place that respects etiquette, otherwise it would not have done such a messy thing yesterday.

Shen Qing smiled, "You see things clearly."

"Bring my dowry list and the account book after I took over the household affairs of the mansion."

Chan Yi agreed, "Miss, do you want to settle the accounts?"

Shen Qing nodded, "Yes, calculate how much money Yangling Marquis Mansion has left, so as to decide how they will live in the future."

Hearing this, Chan Yi smiled instantly. Seeing that Shen Qing was not going to make things easy for everyone in Yangling Marquis Mansion, she felt much more relieved.

This group of people in Yangling Marquis Mansion obviously eat and use Shen Qing's money, but they still want to step on Shen Qing's head from time to time. Even Chan Yi, a girl, can't stand this behavior, but Shen Qing has endured it for almost a year.

Fortunately, such days are finally over.

After breakfast, Shen Qing sat at the table and carefully checked the account book.

Chan Yi didn't understand these things, so she came over to refill her cup of tea and massage her shoulders, which was also a disguised way of sharing some of Shen Qing's burden.

Shen Qing looked at it for two hours before he roughly sorted out these accounts.

Shen Qing married into Yangling Marquis's Mansion at the end of May last year and took over the household affairs of the mansion in early July. It has been exactly eight months now. In these short eight months, Shen Qing subsidized Yangling Marquis's Mansion with a total of 13,000 taels of silver, which enabled everyone in Yangling Marquis's Mansion to eat and dress well this year.

Of course, this does not include the rare treasures that Shen Qing sent to Yangling Marquis's wife every now and then. If you count carefully, it is at least 40,000 or 50,000 taels.

But even so, no one in the Mu family was grateful to her. There were only countless calculations and oppression.

After sorting out the accounts, Shen Qing got up and went to the warehouse to check her dowry.

The Marquis of Yining had a rich family background, and Yun Yuan was the only daughter of the imperial merchant Yun family, so when Shen Qing got married, the specifications were even better than those of a princess. The dowry alone was as many as 120 sets, plus 35 shops in excellent locations and 300 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, which were worth at least one million taels. That’s why Shen Qing dared to say that if there was no Mu family, she would have lived a more carefree life.

When Yun Yuan got married, it happened that the imperial merchant Yun family moved away, so they gave all the best shops in Shengjing to Yun Yuan as a dowry, and the rest were sold and converted into silver and added to Yun Yuan’s dowry.

Now that Yun Yuan is dead, all of these belong to Shen Qing.

So Shen Qing is a real third-generation rich. There are few families in Shengjing City that can match her wealth. She is also the daughter of the Yining Marquis, so when she was thirteen years old, the number of young men from noble families who proposed marriage was enough to line up for two streets. However, in the end, she married the worst one.

Shen Qing took the dowry list and compared it carefully. She found that in addition to the ones she gave to the wife of Yangling Marquis, there were two pairs of jade ruyi, three jade bracelets, three authentic works of famous artists, five sets of pearl and gold headpieces and eight South China Sea night pearls missing.

There are two keys to the warehouse, one in her hand, and the other in the hand of the former housekeeper, the wife of Yangling Marquis, so the whereabouts of the missing items are self-evident.

After all this, it was almost noon, and Shen Qing went directly back to the courtyard for lunch.

Unlike the other courtyards in the mansion, where the food, clothing and expenses were all cut, Shen Qing's diet became more and more exquisite and rich.

As soon as Shen Qing put down her chopsticks, a maid came to her and said that the wife of the Marquis of Yangling wanted her to come over.

Shen Qing sneered, "It's only been one morning and you can't stand it. How can you survive in the future?"

Chan Yi signaled the maids to clean up, and she followed Shen Qing's steps, with a look of disdain on her face, "It's all what you deserve. You didn't cherish the good days before, and you had to toss it to this day."

……

Qi Futang and Tinglanyuan were located in the west and east respectively, and Shen Qing deliberately slowed down, so it was already two quarters of an hour later when he came.

There were quite a few people sitting in Qi Futang, including the angry wife of Yangling Marquis, Mu Ziqian with an ugly look, Lin Xuefu who was leaning on the side like a little bird, two concubines who almost never went out of the house except for paying respects in the morning, and a concubine who was waiting to be married. It can be said that except for Yangling Marquis himself, all the masters of the mansion, big and small, were here.

Shen Qing bowed to the wife of Yangling Marquis, then sat down by herself, smiling and saying, "There are enough people here today, mother, do you have anything important to announce?"

Seeing Shen Qing's indifferent look, the wife of Yangling Marquis was even more angry, because she didn't eat much in the morning and at noon, and her stomach was aching slightly.

"Shen Qing, you are the mistress of the house, you should take care of the food and drink for everyone in the mansion, but the meals in each courtyard this morning and at noon are not of the same level, and Qian'er didn't even see the shadow of two meals. You'd better explain it to me!

Also, as a daughter-in-law, you can't even do the most basic morning and evening visits. Is this the upbringing you, the legitimate daughter of the Yining Marquis's mansion, should have?"

When she saw the breakfast, the wife of the Yangling Marquis was instantly furious, thinking that Shen Qing was deliberately treating her harshly. She wanted to make trouble when Shen Qing came to pay his respects, but found that Shen Qing didn't show up for the whole morning. Her anger continued to rise, and after seeing the bland lunch, she finally broke out completely.
