Chapter 143 Impossible
This is enough to prove that the account books in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion were not Xu Rui's intention, but what role Xu Rui played in this remains to be verified.
He was completely unaware, or he knew it all, but didn't want to get involved.
Nanny Wei understood what Jiang Xiyu meant and frowned again, "Although the Marquis's account books don't show any problems on the surface, I just looked at his private properties. Many of them are popular businesses like restaurants, silver shops, and cloth shops. Logically, they should all be very profitable. It shouldn't be that all of them are losing money."
Every shop was running at a loss every month, which was very strange.
What's more, these shops of Xu Rui are all hot businesses. She really doesn't understand how every shop can make a loss.
"Could it be that someone has tampered with his account books?" Nanny Wei thought of a possibility.
"Impossible." Jiang Xiyu dismissed this possibility without a second thought. "In Yonglin Marquis Mansion, no one dares to mess with Xu Rui, and Xu Rui will never allow anyone to do anything to him."
With Xu Rui's ability, this possibility is out of the question, absolutely impossible.
"What's going on?" Aunt Wei really couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Xiyu narrowed her eyes coldly, "Is it true that Yueyue is losing money? We'll know everything tomorrow when we go and take a look."
In the evening, Jiang Xiyu went to Zheng's house carrying a food box.
Zheng was worried about Xu Rong and discussed it with her personal nanny, Nanny Li.
"You said Rong'er has been married for so many days, why hasn't she returned home yet? This Zhou family is really too much. It must be that bitch Zhou who bullied my Rong'er."
Seeing that she was about to get up despite her broken leg, Nanny Li hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, "Madam, how can you go to the Zhou family with such a broken leg? Besides, it's already dark, and there's no point in visiting someone in the middle of the night. Even if you're worried about the young lady, you should wait until tomorrow morning."
Jiang Xiyu stood at the door and heard Nanny Li's words of comfort. She spoke at the right time, "Nanny Li is right. If mother is really worried about my sister, it won't be too late to visit the Zhou family tomorrow."
Hearing Jiang Xiyu's voice, Zheng was suddenly startled and immediately looked towards the door.
Sure enough, seeing Jiang Xiyu standing at the door at some point, Zheng's face instantly turned cold, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xiyu knew that Zheng Shi didn't like her, but the angrier she got, the better her mood became. She raised her lips and said, "Before the Marquis left the capital, he specifically asked me to take good care of mother, so I personally stewed a bowl of beef bone soup for you to nourish yourself."
As Jiang Xiyu said this, she asked Qing'er to bring the bowl of beef bone soup to Zheng.
Zheng didn't even look at the bowl of beef bone soup, and suddenly waved her hand to overturn the bowl of beef bone soup.
"Ah." Qing'er screamed instantly because of the burn.
Jiang Xiyu frowned and immediately walked nervously to Qing'er to check her scalded hands.
"I'm fine." Although Qing'er felt a little pain, she still comforted Jiang Xiyu softly.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and dodged in time, so only a little splash occurred. Otherwise, if the whole bowl of boiling hot beef bone soup was spilled on her hand, her hand would definitely be broken.
Seeing that Qing'er's hand was only slightly burned, Jiang Xiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Zheng angrily, "It seems that my visit today was unnecessary."
Jiang Xiyu was angry, and Zheng was even angrier. She glared at Jiang Xiyu and cursed her.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Rui'er is on your side. You broke my leg, and now that Rui'er is gone, you can't wait to poison me. Don't think I don't know that you poisoned this beef bone soup in an attempt to kill me."
Before Jiang Xiyu could say anything, Qing'er shouted angrily, "How could you wrongly accuse my wife like this? This beef bone soup belongs to my wife. She spent a long time to make it. How could she have poisoned her?"
Although it was not cooked by Jiang Xiyu herself, it was cooked by Nanny Yu for an entire afternoon and was kindly given to her. However, Zheng Shi did not appreciate it. If she had known, she would have fed it to the dog.
Zheng didn't believe Qing'er's words at all. She snorted disdainfully, "If she hadn't poisoned me, why would she be so kind as to give me some beef bone soup?"
Zheng pointed at Jiang Xiyu and cursed, "Jiang Xiyu, how dare you harm me like this? When Rui'er comes back, I will make him divorce you."
Jiang Xiyu was not too angry. She stared at Zheng with a cold look and said, "I was expecting you to have such ability."
Be it divorce or amicable separation, she only hopes that she can take her dowry and leave the Yonglin Marquis Mansion safely.
Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zheng and was about to leave with Qing'er.
When they reached the door, Jiang Xiyu seemed to have thought of something and turned around and said, "Xu Rong hasn't returned home since she got married. I'm afraid something really happened!"
Only after seeing Zheng's face change did Jiang Xiyu raise her lips and leave.
As soon as Jiang Xiyu left, Zheng anxiously grabbed Li Ma's hand again, "Could something really have happened to Rong'er in the Zhou family? Was it Zhou Lai who bullied her, or was it Zhou who bullied her, so she couldn't come back?"
Nanny Li looked at Zheng, who seemed to be insane, and patiently comforted her, "Don't worry, old lady. We will go to the Zhou family to see the young lady tomorrow. Then everything will be clear."
Zheng still couldn't wait until tomorrow and wanted to go to Zhou's house immediately, but she also knew that it was too late now and could only wait until tomorrow helplessly.
After returning to Jingyuyuan, Jiang Xiyu took the burn ointment and applied it to Qing'er.
Knowing that Jiang Xiyu felt sorry for her, Qing'er smiled and comforted her even though her hands were burning with pain, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm no longer in pain. I dodged very quickly just now. It was just a little splash. It's okay."
Jiang Xiyu carefully checked Qing'er's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the burns on her hands were not serious.
Next time she won't serve Zheng any soup or water. Even if she pretends to, she is not worthy of it.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu's bad face, Qing'er quickly changed the subject and said, "Fifth Miss didn't return home for three days after her wedding. Now she still hasn't come back after so many days. Could something have really happened?"
Jiang Xiyu snorted disdainfully, "A husband who's ruined and a lecher, a mother-in-law who's ruthless and aggressive, and a father-in-law who'll do anything to get to the top, the Zhou family is a hellhole that Xu Rong will never be able to climb out of."
Something must have happened, otherwise why wouldn't Xu Rong come home?
Of course, she might also be so angry that Xu Rui insisted on marrying her into the Zhou family that she refused to return home.
But no matter what the reason is, Zheng will be worried if she doesn't come back.
Especially what she just said, Zheng will definitely go to visit Xu Rong tomorrow. She went to Zheng's place with the intention of provoking Zheng's anger, causing trouble at Zhou's house, and ruining the reputation of the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion.
There was another reason. Only after Zheng left did she have the opportunity to get the account books of the Marquis's Mansion before she married into it.
