After seeing Shen Jingshan off, the room finally became quiet.Chuntao quickly put away the cups on the table, muttering in a low voice as she did so. The maids in the second young lady's courtyard were gossiping around the corridor just now, saying that the first lady was narrow-minded and even made things difficult for her own sister's good intentions.
Shen Qingyuan was leaning on the soft couch by the window, her fingertips unconsciously touching the carved railings by the window. When she heard these words, she just slightly curled her lips.
"Let them talk. Rumors won't hurt me at all. On the contrary, they will let me see clearly who's heart is in the house early."
In her previous life, she cared too much about other people's gossip, and was manipulated by Shen Qingrou. She repeatedly messed up her position, and ended up with a lot of stigma.Having suffered the pain of purgatory once, she had already looked down on these irrelevant gossips.
She was still weak after falling into the water, so she ordered Chuntao to get the account book that she had kept in the cage.Those were the details of the shop and land deeds left by his biological mother, Mrs. Liu, when she was still alive. Since Mrs. Liu's death, Shen Qingrou and her biological mother, Aunt Liu, had secretly misappropriated their biological mother's dowry bit by bit in the name of taking care of the house. Over the past few years, most of the property had quietly changed owners.
In her previous life, she didn't accidentally learn the truth until she was about to die. At that time, everything was a foregone conclusion and there was no way to recover it.
Now that I am fifteen again, everything is still too late.
Shen Qingyuan spread out the yellowed paper and checked the accounts line by line. The more he looked down, the colder his eyes became.A lot of farmland on the outskirts of the city was resold to Aunt Liu's family at very low prices, and the accounts were filled with loopholes. It was just that she was ignorant and playful in the past, and never paid attention to family affairs, so she allowed the other party to do whatever they wanted.
"Chuntao, you quietly find a reliable servant in the outer courtyard, and go to several farmsteads in the suburbs privately to conduct unannounced visits. Write down the details of the land transfers in the tenant households. Remember to keep things secret and not alert Aunt Liu and her daughter."
Chuntao quickly responded and took notes, knowing that the young lady was going to slowly get back the property left by her wife, her eyes were full of excitement.
As the sunshine gradually softened in the afternoon, Shen Qingyuan wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she reported to the housekeeper to leave the house on the pretext of going to Jing'an Temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense.Firstly, to avoid the secret surveillance of Aunt Liu in the mansion, and secondly, in the past few days, Prince Regent Xie Yu passed his farewell party near Jing'an Temple to deal with an old case, and the two met for the first time on this road.
Xie Yuci held half of the military power in the government and the public. He was aloof and taciturn, and held the power of life and death. In his previous life, the prince Xiao Jingyuan was always afraid of this person. Later, the Shen family was wronged. The regent was the only one in the world who secretly tried to investigate the injustice. Unfortunately, it was too late by then.
