Chapter 997: Chapter 997: The Industry Was Sold Off

"Oh!"

Old Madam picked up the account book again with confusion and continued to look through it: "There’s nothing wrong!"

"Grandmother, please look closer, what’s different about the account book?"

Old Madam took another careful look and said puzzledly: "There’s nothing wrong! The handwriting is quite elegant, everything looks good! It’s just that a few entries are circled in different colored ink, um! It does look quite striking."

Previously, she agreed to let Auntie Tang enter the General’s Mansion because she was a lady of noble birth, knowledgeable in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, far better than Lady Li, so she believed she was more suitable for Situ Yongjie.

"Right." Xuexue, kneeling on the ground, nodded: "This is the key point."

Upon hearing this, Auntie Tang’s face drastically changed, this wretched girl, despite her humble origins, how could she be so meticulous!

When she managed these accounts, she never thought there would come a day when she would no longer control the General’s Mansion, so she didn’t ponder too much on it.

"The stores marked with red circles have actually been sold off long ago, they no longer belong to the General’s Mansion. Today, Xuexue was investigating this matter on site, and it has been confirmed."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam stood up in shock from her chair; the General’s Mansion was not yet in a state where they needed to sell properties to get by, and yet properties were sold quietly without her knowledge.

"What exactly happened?" Old Madam’s eyes widened in alarm.

"You should ask Auntie Tang about that!"

Xuexue knelt very obediently on the ground, Old Madam did not call her to rise, she knelt squarely there, after all, she still had to stay in the General’s Mansion for a while, and couldn’t afford to antagonize this old woman.

In her past life, she had suffered enough from this old woman, this life, she learned her lesson, a little grievance doesn’t matter as long as it brings temporary peace.

Although in this lifetime, not only does she have heterochromia and a unique space, she also has Little Tiger, she was not afraid of a mere Old Madam, but sometimes, it pays to hide your capabilities.

"Auntie Tang, explain to me, what exactly happened? Why were the hereditary properties of the General’s Mansion sold?" Old Madam’s eyes looked fiercely at Auntie Tang as if she wanted to consume her.

Auntie Tang cursed Xuexue a thousand times in her heart, this damned girl truly was her nemesis, encountering her, nothing good ever happens.

"Mother-in-law, let your daughter-in-law explain." Auntie Tang’s mind raced.

"Speak."

Old Madam was not in a good mood, as she said sternly.

Auntie Tang dared not make a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law had her difficulties."

"What difficulties? That allowed you to sell off our General’s Mansion properties, just you, a lowly concubine, also have this power? Even selling you wouldn’t be worth as much as our family’s property." Old Madam, in her fury, expressed her disdain for Auntie Tang’s status overwhelmingly.

Knowing that this woman cared most about her status, Old Madam angrily poked precisely at this point.

Auntie Tang felt extremely wronged in her heart, she had slaved for the General’s Mansion for over a decade, yet she could not earn a bit of compassion from this old woman.

"Last year, Prince Pu’s Mansion faced a financial crisis, as his daughter, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing, right?" Auntie Tang said quietly and sorrowfully lowering her head.

Because her foolish brother got addicted to gambling, not only did he lose all his silver, but one day, when Prince Pu was not paying attention, he stole the House Deed and mortgaged it.

Who knew, even Prince Pu’s Mansion was lost.

Prince Pu and his wife were so furious that they were bedridden, and only gradually got better after being ill for a month.
