Chapter 243 Do we really want to move back?
Xu Rui was shocked when he heard this.
He also knew that Gu Yunling had sent someone to Jiang Xiyu. It seemed that Jiang Xiyu had already planned to check the accounts, but just waited until he left Beijing to do it.
It was true that her one million taels of dowry were all given to the Marquis's family. Even a dumb person would be suspicious, not to mention that she was not dumb.
After all, she doubted him. If she believed him, she would not have waited for him to leave Beijing and checked the accounts behind his back.
Seeing Xu Rui's unhappy expression, Deji asked cautiously, "Did the Marquis explain this to the Madam?"
It was not the Marquis's intention to falsify the accounts, and the Madam should not blame him.
Xu Rui snorted bitterly, "After all, I am the real beneficiary. No matter how much I explain to her, it can't make up for the harm our Yonglin Marquis Mansion has done to her."
Now she didn't believe him, and he couldn't unfold himself in front of her for her to examine.
So now is not the time to explain. The only way now is to make up for it as soon as possible.
Xu Rui thought about it and looked at Deji, "You stay here and don't let anyone in."
"Yes." Deji knew that he was going back to the villa and responded immediately.
Xu Rui turned around and entered the secret passage.
Jiang Xiyu did not leave the Marquis' Mansion immediately, but came to the small courtyard where she used to live.
Looking at the fallen petals in the yard, thinking about everything in this life and the previous life, his face was depressed.
After Gu Yunling received the message and came over, he saw Jiang Xiyu's back and seemed to be able to feel her sadness.
But she also knew that these were her family affairs, and even if she wanted to, she shouldn't interfere too much. In the end, everything depended on herself.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiyu felt someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw Gu Yunling. She quickly suppressed her emotions and walked over. "Sister Yun, why are you here?"
"I came to check on you. Are you okay?"
Jiang Xiyu felt a warm current flowing through her, and shook her head with sore eyes, "It's okay, thank you Sister Yun."
But this is her family affair after all. Even if she wants to help, she can't interfere too much. In the end, she still has to rely on herself!
Jiang Xiyu led Gu Yunling into the main house.
Qing'er and Nanny Yu immediately went to prepare tea and snacks.
They hadn't returned from the Yonglin Marquis Mansion for a long time, but fortunately the people in this courtyard were still there, and everyone worked together to prepare tea and snacks and quickly sent them to the main house.
Jiang Xiyu added more tea for Gu Yunling.
Gu Yunling picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked the doubts in her heart, "Why is Marquis Yonglin back? Didn't he go to suppress the bandits?" Xu Rui had been away from Beijing for just over a month to suppress the bandits, and it had taken more than ten days on the road. It hadn't been that long, and he actually appeared in Kyoto.
Jiang Xiyu shook her head. She didn't ask, so she didn't know whether Xu Rui had succeeded in suppressing the bandits.
However, Xu Rui dared to come back so brazenly this time, which must mean that the bandit suppression is making some progress, otherwise he would have been disobeying the order again.
Even if Gu Wei dotes on him and can tolerate him once, she can't tolerate him a second time.
Gu Yunling didn't dwell on why he suddenly came back. She put down the cup and looked at her worriedly, "What are you going to do now?"
She originally had a good impression of Xu Rui, but ever since she knew that Jiang Xiyu had added one million taels of dowry to the Marquis' Mansion, she could no longer regard Xu Rui as a good person.
Regardless of whether it was Xu Rui's idea to falsify the accounts, judging from the fact that he rushed back in a hurry to stop Jiang Xiyu from suing, he must have known about it.
On the surface, he seemed to love this girl very much, but in fact, he never respected her or really cared for her!
She didn't agree with Gulin's idea before, but now she thinks that if this girl marries Gulin, he will definitely hold her in his hands and love her, which is not a bad thing.
At least Gulin will definitely be a good and competent husband.
Jiang Xiyu took a sip of tea from the teacup before speaking, "He said it wasn't him who made them cook the books, and I believe him. I didn't ask about the specifics. There aren't many people in the Yonglin Marquisate who have the ability to instruct those shopkeepers, so there's no need to ask. He said he would compensate me, and I told him to return the one million taels of silver, or I'll file a complaint with the emperor."
Seeing that she was clear-headed, Gu Yunling nodded silently, "We should indeed get the silver back first. As for other matters, there's still time to investigate later."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Gu Yunling gratefully and said, "I'm sorry to have worried Sister Yun today, but Xu Rui won't hurt me. I will handle this matter well. If I really can't handle it well, I will definitely ask Sister Yun for help. Then Sister Yun will help me."
She still hasn't figured out what the whole thing is, so everything will have to wait until she gets the money back.
"Okay." Gu Yunling understood what Jiang Xiyu meant. He drank a cup of tea with Jiang Xiyu and then stood up to say goodbye.
Jiang Xiyu escorted Gu Yunling out of the mansion. Before getting on the carriage, Gu Yunling glanced at the plaque of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion and asked, "Are you planning to move back in?"
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows noncommittally, "Originally, I was staying at the Princess's Mansion, but now that the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion has been renovated, it's natural for me to move back."
Gu Yunling nodded silently.
She understood what Jiang Xiyu meant. She probably also knew something about Gulin's intentions, so she moved back to Yonglin Marquis Mansion to avoid suspicion.
After all, she is a married woman, so she should avoid this suspicion. Now poor Gulin has no hope.
"Okay." Gu Yunling murmured softly and got on the carriage.
After Gu Yunling left, Qing'er asked quietly, "Madam, are we really going to move back home?"
"It's time to move back home." Jiang Xiyu sighed softly, "Go back and pack your things. I'll move back today."
The Yonglin Marquis's house has been renovated, and it's time for her to move back. Now that Xu Rui is back, even if she doesn't take the initiative to move back, Xu Rui will insist on moving.
"Yes." Qing'er quickly agreed and went back to the mansion to call many servants and guards to help move things. After all, Jiang Xiyu's dowry was quite large.
Jiang Xiyu returned to the Princess's Mansion and went directly to Zheng's courtyard.
"Madam." The maids in Zheng's courtyard bowed when they saw Jiang Xiyu coming.
During this period of time, they also realized that Jiang Xiyu was no longer the person who allowed herself to be bullied, so now when they see Jiang Xiyu, they are all very respectful.
Jiang Xiyu glanced at them and asked, "Who is serving in the room?"
The maids hurriedly bowed and said, "Madame Li is waiting on us."
"Go guard outside." Jiang Xiyu's order made the maids all a little confused. But they didn't dare to disobey her order and went to guard outside the yard together.
Jiang Xiyu lifted the curtain and entered the main room. Nanny Li was massaging Zheng's legs. When she saw Jiang Xiyu entering the room, Nanny Li quickly stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Madam."
Zheng looked up at Jiang Xiyu with disgust, "What are you doing here?"
