Chapter 70 Reversal

It has been several years since the master passed away, and it is really hard for the eldest lady to run the big room alone. Therefore, the old lady often helps the big room privately, which is something that other rooms have seen through but not told them. But because of this, after the old lady helps for many years, the other rooms will inevitably become a little jealous.

So, the current situation was just a fuse. And the old lady did give the big house many benefits in private. Therefore, no one believed her even if she wanted to clear her.

Seeing that the old lady and Liu were speechless, Song lowered the sneer and pride in his eyes, and stood up and said, "Forget it, everyone knows the situation of the big house. It is understandable that the old lady wants to help the big house, so we should not care about it."

The one who came out to make trouble was Song, and the one who came out to pretend to be a good person was Song... Looking at Song's two-faced style, the old lady was so angry that her lips twitched a little, but she was not able to speak up because of the current situation.

She is really angry!

Song took the old lady's anger into his eyes, but he had no intention of stopping in his actions.

She quietly gave Tang a wink to the third wife Tang, who was beside her. Tang quickly understood and immediately stood up and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are not saying that. As the widow of the general, the eldest sister-in-law has a pension issued by the court every year. Moreover, when she got married, she brought a lot of dowry. Just the shops under her name don't earn less than any of our houses every month, right?"

"Also, according to our family's rules, all the dowry brought by the wife is not included in the family property, and the benefits generated by the dowry do not need to be paid... By this calculation, the sister-in-law just earns her own money and lives with the Lin family and the imperial court! Isn't this too unfair to us?" Tang and Song were originally cousins, and at this time they sang and reconciled, which made the matter even more serious.

The old lady is not a fool either. If she said that she didn't know what Song was thinking in the morning, she finally tasted some flavor at this time.

"Then what should I do about the second and third rooms? "The old lady sneered and looked at the same mean cousin sisters, with a heavy glimmer flashing in her slightly cloudy eyes.

Upon hearing this, Song couldn't help but turn his head and look at Tang quietly.

Tang nodded in a slight way, and then stood up again and said according to the words discussed with Song in advance: "The old lady has helped the big house openly and secretly for so many years. We will not say how much benefits the big house has gained. Just to seek fairness, the daughters-in-law hope that the big house can pay 10,000 taels of silver every year in the future. I wonder what my sister-in-law thinks?"

Ten thousand taels of silver per year? The annual net income of the shops under her name is only 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver, and because she only has Yingxin, she got married this time, and she paid most of her dowry again. She paid 10,000 taels per year. For the current situation of the big house, the burden is really heavy.

Seeing that Liu just frowned and didn't say anything, Tang couldn't help but smile proudly. She didn't urge her, but just waited silently for Liu to compromise. After all, the old lady was not easy to speak for the big house, and the 10,000 taels of silver she proposed was a bit too much, but it was not as much as the big house could not support it. So in the end, no matter how Liu struggled, the 10,000 taels of silver every year would have to be handed over!

Lin Yingxue watched silently for so long, and knew that this storm was indeed for the eldest lady.

Looking at the unconcealed pride on the faces of Song and Tang's cousins, Lin Yingxue frowned and thought for a while, and then walked out of the inconspicuous corner.

"Mother, grandmother." Lin Yingxue's sudden sound broke the heavy and almost solidified atmosphere around her, and also attracted everyone's eyes.

Song turned his head and glared at Lin Yingxue with displeasure, "This is a matter between adults. What do you, a child, have you? "

"When I went back to my mother, Yingxue just didn't understand. She originally asked everyone to come over, wasn't she going to check where the three hundred taels of silver came from? Why is it now that the aunt is asking her to hand over the annual division?" Lin Yingxue asked naively as if she had not noticed Song's displeasure at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three hundred taels of silver is just an introduction, and the ultimate goal is to make the big house pay the grade every year. However, Lin Yingxue was so sad that she actually came out to ask such a stupid question. For a moment, everyone around couldn't help laughing out loud with contempt.

"Ha, what a stupid child." Song's tone was intimate, but when he looked at Lin Yingxue, he looked at a fool. "No one knows where the three hundred taels of silver came from, and where should he be investigated? You should go back to your yard and stay. Don't worry about it!"

Isn’t this just to let her stay wherever she is cool? A sneer flashed through Lin Yingxue’s eyes, but she still said innocently: “Mother, Yingxue may be able to know where the three hundred taels of silver came from.”

Lin Yingxue's desperate pestering finally made Song a little impatient, "Okay, tell me, how can you know where the three hundred taels of silver came from?"

Seeing that Song finally jumped into the pit she dug, Lin Yingxue lowered her head and lowered the smile on her lips, but she said with some uncertainty: "On weekdays, we bring more silver notes and broken silver on our bodies. No one can take out these three hundred taels of silver out of thin air. As long as we go to the money house we often go to, Isn't it clear who has exchanged cash silver in the past two days?"

Song thought Lin Yingxue could not say anything, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her would grasp the root of the matter. Her face turned pale in an instant, and she was stammering and talking nonsense to refute Lin Yingxue.

The old lady and Liu were originally suspected that all this was designed by Song today, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity at this time, so they immediately sent their subordinates to investigate.

Song knew that this matter was probably impossible to cover up today. Everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was set up by her and grasping substantive evidence were two concepts. The former would only make the old lady and Liu dissatisfied and guarded against her, but the latter would make the relationship between her and the old lady completely stiff, and even the people in the big room might deal with her in turn... This is not a good thing for her!

I originally wanted to use this to kill the majestic man in the big house, but I didn't expect that this majestic man would fail, but I lost myself!

The more Song thought about it, the more angry she became, and then she thought that the reason why the current situation was caused was because of Lin Yingxue, so she couldn't help but turn her head and snatch Lin Yingxue's eyes. Her fierce eyes seemed to want to cut off a piece of meat from Lin Yingxue's body.
