My Wife Has Been Blackened

"How bad... how bad is it?" Mr. Li took a breath and looked at his old mother somewhat blankly.

These gentlemen are all a bit stupid, what the hell are they? ! The difference is a million! !

"Mom, my dear mother, don't talk nonsense. How much is the difference? The difference is a million! Don't scare your son!" The second son's face immediately changed.

The faces of the people in the room changed, and their hearts were pounding.

The old lady's face was gray. She had been in poor health during this period, and now she was so shocked by the huge debt that she couldn't get up.

"Mom, where did you get more than one million! When did our house spend so much money? More than one million, do you know what you are talking about? My son, I only have a few hundred taels a year!" The old man's eyes rolled. Almost staring out.

"You earn a few hundred taels a year. Oh, and the outfit you are wearing costs just a thousand taels. Your clothes were custom-made by the most famous clothing store in the capital, costing more than three hundred taels. The jade pendant around your waist was bought last month. , one thousand two hundred taels. I took it from the hands of a great talent in Beijing with silver money. Even an ordinary outfit costs a thousand, what can you do with those few hundred taels?" The old lady sneered, do you think you are now Being able to get people in the capital to take a second look has nothing to do with the money spent?

The old man's expression froze.

Several gentlemen and ladies in the room took a step back slightly. It would be fine if others didn't know. Only they knew how much money they secretly paid in the accounting room.

"You spend tens of thousands of taels on each house. The year before last, my brother's marriage was unprecedented. Didn't he also spend nearly fifty thousand taels? When my sister got married the year before last, she used ten thousand taels of silver as a dowry and bought two houses." The old lady is now But she couldn't keep it, she couldn't afford more than one million taels!

In the past few years, the house has purchased a lot of things, all of which cost huge sums of money. It was really like running water.

"More than one million yuan, I bought some shops in Zhuangzi. Even if I sell it, it will still be a lot worse." The daughter-in-law said with a stern look on her face.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law on the side had a sullen face. She was the daughter-in-law who entered the family the year before last.

"Of course, whoever paid the money will take it out. I just entered the house the year before last, so I didn't know about this." This woman is a shrewd woman who has no scruples about what she says and does.

The old lady valued her at first because she was afraid that her grandson would not be able to stand up.

Who knew he could be so aggressive and shameless?

Everyone's expressions were not very good.

"What should I pay for this money? We are all a family. What's wrong with Xia Xia living in our house and us taking care of her property? What does she, a little girl, know?!" Li Shuyin couldn't hold back and said something harsh. .

She is not married yet. If she really pays back such a large sum of money, it will probably be the most difficult time for the family when she gets married.

Without the support of her parents, she was in a panic.

The faces of the group of people were all different, and they were all tempted just thinking about it.

"Have you forgotten that shopkeeper Zhou? He has always worked for the royal family, and there has never been any mistake in his hands. In the past five years, every account has been recorded." The nanny behind him couldn't help but mention it.

…………

"This damn girl is actually very capable. I don't believe what she can do to me! The prince has already said that he will be engaged to me when I reach the age of hairpin! She is an orphan, I don't believe she can still go against Prince Xuan's palace!" Li Shuwan became serious. With a heavy face, she was only ten years old, so she was a bit young after all.

Mrs. Li immediately got up from the bed.

"Did the prince say this? The prince is only ten years old now, can he not take it seriously?" The old lady seemed to be confused.

"The Crown Prince has said that he will marry whoever the token is in his hands. He will marry whoever he likes..." Li Shuwan looked a little shy. The most taboo among noble family members was giving and receiving in private, but no one thought much about it at this moment.

They all brought a bit of ecstasy.

The old lady thought for a moment.

"Mom, is that token the marriage my sister has arranged for Xia Xia?" The elder suddenly broke the silence, and everyone was startled.

With millions of silver coins and the backing of Prince Xuan's palace, what an honor that would be!

"My sister is dead, and the Hou Mansion is gone. As far as Xia Xia is concerned, the marriage may not be a good thing. Since the prince and sister Shu Wan are in love, why not..." I don't know which house's wife said this. There are people who are attracted by such a bold and devoid of moral thing.

The old lady now doesn't remember that Xie Zhixia is her granddaughter. She only remembers the overwhelming wealth and the Li family's incredible future.

Li Shuwan's face turned slightly red, which showed that she was thinking this way in her heart.

"This...she is Xia Xia's only daughter after all, and the only heir of the Hou family." The third child had a good relationship with his sister Xie Li, and it was rare for him to say a nice word.

"My daughter's family just wants to marry into a good family. Since the prince doesn't like her, all her mother has to do is promise her a good marriage." Li Shuwan said casually, but her tone was extremely serious.

The old lady seemed to have a little more energy, and she obviously took it seriously.

"Would Prince Xuan agree? I heard that the marriage was arranged by Prince Xuan and the Marquis. They changed people..."

Li Shuwan glanced at her mother and said casually, "This matter has been going on for so long, and King Xuan has never come forward to say anything for her. It can be seen that he doesn't care about this marriage. Compared with an orphan girl who has no help from her mother's family, King Xuan is definitely I chose an aristocratic family." What Li Shuwan never thought about was that even the emperor had to respect Prince Xuan three-thirds, so why was Prince Xuan's palace afraid that he wouldn't be able to help?

Even when King Xuan went to court, the emperor did not dare to accept his courtesy. It doesn't matter if he is seriously ill, he is also senior.

Everyone's eyes flickered, showing no sympathy for the orphaned girl.

"It's a pity that if she can't marry Prince Xuan, the money will have to be returned to her. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to get away. What if... what if Xia Xia gets carried away and does something stupid? Our Li family won't be able to get away with it. It's gone." The second lady said sadly. Of course, she was saddened by the money.

Everyone was silent.

If he were more ruthless and found a way to send her to the countryside to recuperate, then he wouldn't have to pay back all the wealth.

But the housekeeper next to her was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If the situation is really desperate, the money cannot be paid, and the marriage is taken away, both parties will inevitably suffer losses.

She was barefoot, but Li Mansion wanted to show off her face.

An idea flashed through the old lady's mind. If her granddaughter left together because she missed her parents, she wouldn't have to suffer in the world.

The eldest son of the Li family weighed the pros and cons, and now there are countless people in Beijing who want to get on King Xuan's ship. Now that I can be an in-law, I have to try my best to succeed.

"Every government should take out all the money that is greedy for money. Money is nothing. Prince Xuan is the in-law, and luck will come later. Besides, Xia Xia is just a child, and she will never care about us close relatives." Mr. Li secretly didn't want to do this. Come out and lose face.

The maid knocked on the door.

"Master, thank you for sending me the account books for the past five years."

…………

Just thinking about Mr. Li playing the family card, his heart skipped a beat.

This niece always makes people a little uneasy.
