The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 367: Can't Be Hard

After a whole day of organizing, Jiang Sujin finally sorted out the account books.

At the same time, she also sent people to investigate the second wife's private property.

After collecting everything, she called everyone together again and came to the main room.

When the Second Madam saw Jiang Sujin, her expression turned noticeably ugly.

She didn't know if she had found out, but knowing her, she would definitely cause trouble.

To the point that she barely slept the entire night before.

When Shen Changfeng arrived, the first thing he asked was Jiang Sujin.

"Susu, what did you find out?"

Jiang Sujin: "Your account book is indeed lost, but the account books of your second and third uncles are not lost."

Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng couldn't help but ask, "Why did mine get lost?"

Jiang Sujin: "I need to ask Second Aunt why."

The Second Madam still argued: "What could it be? This is just an accident."

Jiang Sujin: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the silver in the treasury is limited. If we take out the silver from my second uncle and third uncle, it will naturally belong to my father-in-law."

The Second Madam was obviously surprised when she heard this. She had not expected this to be possible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changfeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "My daughter-in-law is still smart."

Jiang Sujin curled the corners of her mouth, then directly took out the problematic account book she had sorted out.

"Grandfather, these account books are problematic."

"Many of the accounts are in a mess, and some are even fake accounts."

"And I also brought together some problematic accounts."

"After I sorted it out, I came to a conclusion that Second Aunt embezzled nearly 50,000 taels of silver."

After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Even Second Aunt herself found it hard to believe that she would embezzle so much money.

Mr. Shen's eyes widened immediately. He couldn't believe that his wife had greedily taken so much.

Mr. Shen said with a sullen face: "Susu, before this matter is finalized, don't make a final conclusion."

When the second wife saw her father-in-law say this, she knelt down in front of the old man and cried.

"Dad, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law. There is absolutely no way she would do such a thing!"

Jiang Sujin: "I have sent people to check. Second Aunt has four inns in the capital."

"You know, a lot of money has been invested in this inn."

“But Second Aunt opened four inns in succession with ease.”

Second wife: "What do you mean by easy? We have been together for so many years, it is normal to have some savings!"

Jiang Sujin: "Before, you didn't have the money to open an inn, but after being a housekeeper for a year, you suddenly became rich."

"Any fool can see that you were the head of a household for a year and embezzled a lot of money, which is why you had the money to open an inn."

Second Madam: “You are talking nonsense!”

Jiang Sujin: "It's all written in black and white by you. Your account doesn't match up, and you're still trying to make excuses?"

The Second Madam stared at Jiang Sujin with her eyes wide open. No matter how calm she was at this moment, she couldn't help but start to lose her composure in the face of Jiang Sujin's questioning.

Second Master: "Jiang Sujin, don't talk nonsense. How come we have no money? You can't just accuse us based on your guesses."

Jiang Sujin: "Your first inn never made any money and was even in a state of loss for many years. How did you have the money to open a second one in the second year?"

"Then you opened the third store, and the fourth store. Only after the fourth store did you really start to make a profit. Before that, you were in a loss-making state. How did you open so many stores?"

Jiang Sujin asked questions in rapid succession, leaving the second old grandfather speechless.

When Mr. Shen saw this, he naturally understood what the couple had done.

Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, I know you don't want to cause trouble, but it's obvious now that the couple are almost emptying the Shen Mansion."

"Otherwise, Second Aunt has been complaining about the high expenses. Even when Father-in-law wanted 1,000 taels of silver, you tried every means to shirk it. It turns out that you have all put the money into your own pockets."

No matter how tough the second master tried to be, he was speechless for a while after Jiang Sujin's barrage of attacks.

After hearing this, Shen Changfeng was so angry that he wanted to give the couple a big slap in the face.

Jiang Sujin said directly to the old man: "Grandfather, I know you want to keep the family harmonious, but if there is a rat shit in the house, it can really spoil the whole pot of soup."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen couldn't help but turn pale.

"I'm old, and I don't know what to do. Su Jin, you handle it!"

Jiang Sujin: "My grandson's wife is a junior, so it's not my turn to handle this matter anyway."

"But I have a suggestion, you can listen to it."

Mr. Shen: "Tell me about it."

Jiang Sujin: "It has already happened, and there is no need to report it to the police."

"It's okay that Second Aunt and Second Uncle wasted money normally, but they have to make up for the money written in black and white on the account, which means they have to make up for the 50,000 taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, the Second Madam couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Where do we get 50,000 taels of silver?"

Jiang Sujin: "Sell the four inns, and then find a way to pawn some gold and silver jewelry. You have to spit out the silver you swallowed."

The Third Lady suddenly said, "Yes, you embezzled the money from the mansion, how can you just let it go like this?"

Jiang Sujin: "Also, divide the land under my grandfather's name into three equal parts. As for the silver in the treasury, don't we have the account books of my second and third uncles?"

"They put down whatever amount they want in their account, then deduct one-fifth for expenses, and then divide it up, and the rest belongs to my father-in-law."

"As for this house, it should be divided equally, but since the house cannot be split, my suggestion is that whoever wants to keep it exclusively should buy back the other two shares."

Second Master: "I don't agree. We don't have much salary to begin with. If we divide it this way, what else can we get?"

Jiang Sujin: "You don't earn that much, so naturally you can't get that much."

Second Master: "Then we also run errands for him. Big Brother has ordered us around a lot, and we respect him very much."

Jiang Sujin: "I'm telling you, don't push your luck. The matter of you two embezzling money..."

Shen Changfeng: "Su Jin, let's do this. All the silver and jewelry in the vault will be divided according to the ratio of 4:3:3."

"This house is mine, and I will give them two thousand taels of silver each."

"It doesn't matter how long they want to stay. Just keep your own money and don't get involved in the future."

Shen Changfeng managed to maintain the dignity of his family after all, but in doing so, he would naturally suffer a loss.
