Princess Consort Is No Pushover

He has always been conscientious, self-denying and dedicated to public service. He used to manage the treasury for the late emperor in the palace. After the late emperor passed away, he was assigned by the queen mother to Prince Li's mansion to help Chu Xuanchen manage the account room.

For the accounts managed by him, the incoming and outgoing accounts are very clear, every single stroke is clear, the flow is clear, and there is never any mistake, so Chu Xuanchen trusts him very much.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Nangongrou came, something happened to him.

One day, when Nangong Rou checked the accounts, she found that an item of expenditure in the accounts had changed.

At that time, she only withdrew one hundred taels of silver to buy clothes and jewelry, but it was recorded as one thousand one hundred taels by Uncle Hua.

She immediately discovered that a thousand taels of silver had been embezzled by Uncle Hua, so she took someone to search in Uncle Hua's room, and sure enough, she found a bag of silver under his bed.

Take it out and count it, it's exactly one thousand taels.

She immediately went to Chu Xuanchen with these evidences, saying that Uncle Hua embezzled the public funds of the palace, and accused him of embezzling a thousand taels of silver.

Chu Xuanchen looked at the evidence and heard the testimonies of the witnesses who participated in the search, and was very angry at that time, so he drove Uncle Hua away.

Nangong Rou blew pillow wind at him, summoned his cousin, a sour scholar surnamed Li, and asked him to manage the account house.

Chu Xuanchen was busy with military affairs, and because he trusted Nangongrou, he didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters, so he agreed to Nangongrou's request.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruoyue couldn't help shaking her head, it's really a hero's sad beauty.

Chu Xuanchen, a god of war, was actually fooled by Nangongrou when it came to family matters.

She had heard from Nanny Li that this newcomer Li Xiucai's accounts were not clear, and with him around, the amount paid to Yurou Pavilion in the palace was more than ten times higher, while other yards were much less. .

Maybe it was because there was a problem with his account book, so she sent someone to call him, but he didn't dare to come.

Seeing that Yun Ruoyue was going to call Uncle Hua, Nangong Rou immediately said coldly: "Princess, Uncle Hua was kicked out of the palace because he embezzled a thousand taels of silver from the palace. How could you let him manage the accounts again? You are simply nonsense, aren't you afraid that the prince will be angry?"

"Whether or not Uncle Hua has embezzled public funds, this matter has not yet been determined. Let me find out first." Yun Ruoyue said.

At this moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, a thin man with the appearance of a scholar was struggling to enter with a large pile of ledgers.

"Princess, I'm here. I'm sorry. I was sorting out the books just now, so I'm late." After Li Xiucai finished speaking, he put all the books on the table.

He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve again, looking out of breath, as if he had really worked hard.

At this time, the housekeeper had already sent someone to call Uncle Hua in.

Uncle Hua had been living in the palace before. Since he was fired, he felt unwilling and wanted to seek justice from Chu Xuanchen, so he rented a small house near the palace.

But he has not been able to see Chu Xuanchen.

Since he lived close to the palace, the housekeeper quickly found him.

As soon as he heard that the princess wanted to see him, he immediately said excitedly: "My lady, I was wronged. I didn't embezzle the cashier's money at all, and I don't know why the number in the cashier changed, let alone the one thousand taels. Why did Yinzi come into my room, please be enlightened by your mother."

When the steward sent someone to call for Uncle Hua, that person had already given Uncle Hua a rough account of how the princess was in charge of the house.

When Uncle Hua heard that the princess wanted to use him, he was very excited. He really hoped that the princess could clear up his grievances.
