Chapter 365 Audit
The Second Madam didn't expect that Jiang Sujin would not care about her face at all and really let someone control her.
"Su Jin, can we please talk it out calmly? What's the point of bringing this to the government office?" The Second Lady said anxiously with a pale face.
Jiang Sujin: "I've been talking to you nicely for a long time, but you are so shameless!"
"Then I can only use this extreme method. I just don't believe it. There is no room for reason here."
"Take the second wife to the government office and accuse her of embezzling her family's property and refusing to return it."
"It's the empress!"
The second wife struggled and said, "Su Jin, you disregard the reputation of the Shen family. Do you want the entire Shen family to become a laughing stock in the capital?"
Jiang Sujin: "What are you talking about, Second Aunt? Even if you become a laughing stock, everyone will only laugh at your Second Branch and sympathize with our First Branch."
Upon hearing this, the second lady's face instantly became even more flustered.
Since the princess gave an order, they naturally dared not disobey. Even though she was the second wife, they had to take her out.
The second wife struggled desperately. She certainly couldn't be taken to the yamen, otherwise where would she put her face?
So she shouted loudly: "Someone come, Princess Yong'an is arresting someone!"
Jiang Sujin: "Shout as hard as you can, call everyone here if you can!"
At this time, the second wife naturally didn't care about her face.
She collapsed to the ground and started crying loudly.
The servants naturally looked at her sideways and couldn't help but feel very sorry for the Second Lady in front of them.
Just then, my second uncle came running over.
At the same time, Shen Changfeng and Old Master Shen also came over.
Shen Yanfeng followed closely behind.
When Jiang Sujin saw that everyone had arrived, she said to the servants, "Go and call the Third Madam and the Third Master together."
"It's the empress!"
When the second master saw his wife slumped on the ground and servants pulling her, he couldn't help but get anxious.
"What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Who allowed you to do this to the Second Madam?"
Jiang Sujin said directly: "Of course I promised it."
The second master's eyes widened when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Shen Changfeng: "Brother, look at your wife here?"
When Shen Changfeng heard this, his expression instantly became unnatural.
But he changed his mind and realized that it was he who asked Jiang Sujin to take care of this matter. If he removed himself from the matter, she would definitely not care about him anymore.
"Why don't you ask your wife what she has done?" After saying this, he came to Jiang Sujin with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Shen Yanfeng naturally hurried to the side of his princess to show his support for her.
The second master naturally knew what his wife had done, so he did not question his wife, but looked at Old Master Shen for help.
"Dad, do you see what's going on?"
"Xiu Fen has been helping the Shen family with household affairs for many years. How come things suddenly become like this after my niece-in-law came?"
When Mr. Shen saw this scene, he was so angry that his face turned black. Before he opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly started coughing.
"Su Jin, what is going on?" Mr. Shen said with a red face.
Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, before my grandmother passed away, she handed all the account books to my second aunt. There were three special account books that recorded the income of the three families."
"But now Second Aunt told me that she had lost the account book."
The second wife shouted, "I didn't lose it. The account book got wet by accident and the writing inside can't be read. I can only have lost it."
Jiang Sujin: "Then tell me, without the account book, how should we divide the money from our eldest house?"
Second wife: "The whole family is together, and ours is together, so what is there to divide?"
Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, you've seen it too. She's just being a scoundrel. I can only send her to the government office."
Mr. Shen: "What government office are you sending it to? Do you still want to save the Shen family's reputation?"
Jiang Sujin: "So Grandfather also thinks that Second Aunt should swallow up our silver, right?"
Mr. Shen: "How can this be called annexation? The silver is in the treasury. We can just divide it equally when the time comes."
Jiang Sujin: "How can we divide it equally?"
Shen Changfeng: "Yes, how can it be divided equally? In the first few years of the second and third brothers, they had no salary at all, and I helped them marry their wives."
“Even now, they don’t make half as much as I do.”
"Now you're talking about an average score. You're being too biased."
When Mr. Shen heard this, his expression suddenly became unnatural.
Second Master: "Brother, we are brothers, how can you be so fussy?"
Jiang Sujin: "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This is an eternal truth."
Shen Changfeng: "Yes, besides, you are taking advantage of me, second brother. How about I let you suffer a loss?"
Second Master: "Brother, you are hurting me by saying this. I have been serving you all these years. Have I run errands for you less?"
Shen Changfeng: "How dare you say that? When did you not take advantage of others when running errands?"
Seeing this, Mr. Shen couldn't help but shout, "Okay, you really want to hurt the harmony of the family, don't you?"
Seeing this, Shen Changfeng naturally couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Shen Yanfeng said directly to Mr. Shen: "Grandfather, it's wrong for Second Aunt to lose the account book, and it's also wrong for you to say that it's divided equally."
Mr. Shen thinks highly of Shen Yanfeng, so he usually listens to whatever he says.
"Even if we want to separate, we can't do it now."
Jiang Sujin: "Grandfather, you'd better divide this family while you are sober."
"Otherwise, given my granddaughter-in-law's temper, if you weren't here, I would have really gone to the government office to make a scene."
"By then, the Shen family's reputation will be completely ruined."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen couldn't help but start to worry.
Just based on the temper of the granddaughter-in-law, and the behavior of the second son's family, they will really make a big fuss.
Mr. Shen: "Okay, then divide it up. The silver will be divided into 40% and 30% respectively. And my land will be divided equally among the three of them."
Shen Changfeng was naturally dissatisfied with the 4:3:3 division method, but since the old man had already backed down, he could only accept it.
Jiang Sujin: "Before dividing it, we need to look at the account books of the past few years to check whether the cash flow income of the past few years is normal. And how much silver is there in the silver vault, and whether anyone has stolen it."
Upon hearing this, the Second Madam panicked for a moment, then immediately asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I embezzled money?"
Jiang Sujin: "Second Aunt deliberately lost the account book. Isn't her purpose self-evident?"
Second Master: "My niece, your second aunt is still your elder, don't go too far."
Jiang Sujin: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If Second Aunt is really upright, she won't be afraid of my investigation."
