Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Nangong Rou heard it, and hurriedly said: "Sister, Uncle Hua has money and has always used good ink, but my cousin's family is poor, how can he afford high-end ink? There are many students like my cousin outside, and they all I can't afford good ink, so I can only buy this kind of bad ink. There are so many people who buy poor ink, you can't just doubt my cousin just because of this? Are you just because he is my cousin? Targeting me with an excuse?"

At the end, she wiped away her tears pitifully.

Yun Ruoyue sneered, "I'm just seeking truth from facts, okay, let's not talk about Uncle Hua being framed, let's check your cousin's account book and see what he remembers."

After Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, she looked at Uncle Hua and the butler, "Uncle Hua, butler, please help me check together to see if there are any mistakes or omissions in Li Xiucai's account book."

"Yes, ma'am." After the two finished speaking, they quickly picked up Li Xiucai's account book and began to check it.

Yun Ruoyue also picked up a ledger and read it carefully.

That Li Xiucai was so frightened that his whole body was in cold sweat, he kept winking at Nangongrou, asking Nangongrou to think of a way.

Nangongrou stood there depressed, biting her lip, unable to think of a way out.

At this moment, Yun Ruoyue suddenly pointed to the ledger in her hand and said, "Li Xiucai, on the fifth day of the first month, our palace spent three hundred taels of silver just to buy vegetables and meat?"

Li Xiucai felt a chill down his spine, and hurriedly said, "Yes, ma'am."

"It shows that the money was withdrawn by Nanny Zhang, Nanny Zhang, did you withdraw three hundred taels of silver to buy meat and vegetables?" Yun Ruoyue looked at Nanny Zhang who was beaten to death.

Madam Zhang's 30th board had been beaten long ago, and now she was lying there in ragged clothes with blood all over her back, and no one cared about her at all.

Hearing Wang Hao's question, she glared at her bitterly, and said coldly, "Yes."

"What meat and vegetables cost so much money?" Yun Ruoyue asked coldly.

For ordinary people, as long as a dozen taels of silver is enough for a year.

No matter how extravagant their palace expenses are, they will not spend three hundred taels of silver in one go.

If this continues, Chu Xuanchen's family property will not be able to withstand such a defeat.

"It's the amount of food and meat for the palace for three days. There are a lot of people in the palace, and the prince is dignified. Of course, you have to buy the best of everything." Madam Zhang said in a deep voice.

"It's only been three days, and it costs three hundred taels of silver. If word of this gets out, what will people say about our palace?" Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, and then said, "Also, I bought ten bags of rice here, and it cost me a hundred taels of silver. A hundred taels of silver? Ordinary people, ten bags of rice cost five taels of silver at most, what kind of rice is this, so expensive?"

Nurse Zhang raised her eyelids and said: "That is the princess who has never seen the world. This is the best rice in Yuxiangzhai. It is only for the royal family and dignitaries. It is different from ordinary rice. Of course it is more expensive."

"Then here, the concubine spent a thousand taels of silver to buy only one piece of clothing? What kind of clothing is this so expensive?" Yun Ruoyue checked and found that there was a big problem with this account.

Moreover, this is something that can only be accomplished by multiple people working in partnership and colluding with each other.

When Nangongrou heard this, her heart trembled in fright, and she hurriedly said: "This is a silk woven dress, with gold thread and golden spider thread on it, so it is more expensive. I only asked Dan'er to go to the accountant's room with the permission of the prince. Withdraw clothes bought with silver."

The implication is that Chu Xuanchen agreed with her, and the princess can't blame her.

Yun Ruoyue gave Nangongrou a cold look, and said: "The side concubine got a cold last time, so it cost you two thousand taels of silver to ask a doctor?"
