Xiao Yuanshi saw that the accounts of the house in the past two months were not only unable to balance the income and expenditure, but also did not even have enough to pay the monthly salary of the servants.

Where did the money go?

At this moment, Ge Chunru's maid walked in.

"Madam, Concubine Liu is at the door asking to see you."

Ge Chunru always felt that when Taoliu came here, she must have heard that Xiao Yuanshi was in her yard and had no good intentions.

Just when he was about to refuse to see her, Xiao Yuanshi spoke first, "Let her come in."

Naturally, the maid did not dare to disobey his order.

Soon Tao Liu walked in, with a pale and tired face, looking like she was sick.

She was surprised when she saw Xiao Yuanshi, and immediately saluted with a weak posture, "I have met the general and his wife."

Ge Chunru gritted his teeth when he saw her vixen-like appearance, "The general and I still have something to do. If you don't have anything important to do, please step aside first."

Taoliu stood up with red eyes, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

But he still nodded, "Yes, then I will quit."

Ever since Xiao Yuanshi allowed her to call herself "I", she never changed her words in front of Ge Chunru.

Seeing his concubine like this, Xiao Yuanshi couldn't help but frown slightly, "Are you sick?"

Tao Liu looked at him with misty eyes, "I, I'm fine."

"Since the general and his wife have something to do, I won't bother them." He was sensible and knowledgeable.

Xiao Yuanshi said: "We have finished talking about it."

He asked: "Why did you come to see Madam?"

"Me!" Taoliu looked a little embarrassed, "No, it's nothing."

Ge Chunru: "..." This woman must have done it on purpose. She was just pretending to want Xiao Yuanshi to ask.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuanshi asked: "Don't worry about me, just tell me."

Tao Liu then bit her lip and looked at Ge Chunru, with anxiety and prayer, "Madam, can I prepay the monthly payment for this month and next month?"

Ge Chunru said with a cold face, "The General's Mansion has no precedent for monthly advances."

There was already no money in the account, but he still made a monthly payment in advance. What was Tao Liu thinking?

Taoliu felt aggrieved and said, "Then Madam, please just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"I'm leaving now." She bent her body, but looked shaky when she stood up.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuanshi hurriedly stood up and walked over to help the person, "Why don't you rest in the yard when you are sick?"

"Also, why do you want to pay your monthly salary in advance?"

Taoliu leaned against his arms as soft as a bone, but did not answer immediately, but kept looking at Ge Chunru.

When Xiao Yuanshi saw this, his brows furrowed even deeper, "What do you want me to ask you?"

Taoliu then showed a weak yet strong look, "I have spent all the money on medical treatment recently. I only received half of the monthly medical bills last month."

"But the doctor said I still have to take medicine, but I don't have the money to take any more medicine, so I thought I could advance my monthly payment for this month and next month."

Xiao Yuanshi was stunned for a moment. He was a little busy these days, so he didn't go to Liu Ru's yard.

Then I didn't know she was sick.

"Why don't you see the government doctor?"

Taoliu pursed her lips and said, "The government doctor won't treat me."

Xiao Yuanshi's face looked a little unhappy, "Why doesn't the doctor treat you?"

Taoliu sighed, "My status is low, how can I be qualified to be treated by the government doctor?"

Xiao Yuanshi's face turned darker, "You are the master of the General's Mansion. Who said that you are of low status and are not qualified to be treated by the government doctor?"

Taoliu glanced in Ge Chunru's direction and said, "Yes, it's the Madam's order."

Then he hurriedly added: "This is none of Madam's business. If there are no rules, there will be no rules. It is normal not to allow the government doctors to treat people like us of low status."

"Don't blame Madam."

"It's all my fault. I'll pawn some jewelry when I go back to see a doctor."

Ge Chunru: "..." This is the shameless bitch who came in to give her eye drops by retreating.

Xiao Yuanshi turned to look at Ge Chunru with a cold expression, "Did you order that?"

Ge Chunru did use this to ridicule Taoliu, so he was immediately asked.

Xiao Yuanshi was furious now, "Ge Chunru, I'm going to hand over this general's mansion to you, and you're going to manage it like this?"

"Don't let the government doctor treat people in the government."

"The concubine of the general's palace is sick, and she has to go out to pawn her jewelry to see the doctor. How will you let people outside see it if word spreads about it?"

Ge Chunru choked, "Me!"

She was just about to explain when Xiao Yuanshi smashed the account book in his hand on the table, "And what's going on with this account book?"

"The money in the house is not even enough to pay the monthly salary to the servants. You only paid half of it last month."

"Where's the money?"

Ge Chunru's eyes flickered, "I, I used it to buy a hot spring resort."

Xiao Yuanshi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about Zhuangzi's land deed?"

Ge Chunru bit her lip, "Here, I'll give Chunyi a dowry at the bottom of the box."

She heard that another concubine who entered the second prince's palace had a very generous dowry and a hot spring village in the suburbs.

Therefore, I didn't want to wrong my sister, so I used the money left in the general's palace to buy a village as a dowry.

This time Xiao Yuanshi was really angry and waved the teacup on the table to the ground, "Bang!"

Ge Chunru was frightened by his sudden movement, "Ah!"

However, Taoliu reacted quickly and stepped forward to support the angry Xiao Yuanshi.

"General, don't be angry. It's not good for your health."

Then I remembered Shi Qing’s tea talk from Luojiao.

Then he looked at Ge Chunru with a look of condemnation, "Madam, the general has worked hard enough for this family. It is not easy to accumulate some family wealth because of military achievements. How can you use it all to dowry your sister?

"The water thrown out by a married daughter, let alone her sister."

"The general worked very hard in court, and after returning home, he worked hard to feed us, clothe us well, he is so kind, how can you be so angry with him?"

Having said this, Xiao Yuanshi also felt aggrieved and chilled.

Liu Rudu knew that it was not easy for him to accumulate all this property, and they all knew that they felt sorry for him.

And where does Ge Chunru, the wife, put her husband?

"Would you feel uncomfortable if you didn't vacate this house and give it to your younger brothers and sisters?"

"For a concubine, you must prepare a dowry worth one hundred and eighty dollars for her."

"The crown princess only has so much dowry to carry when she gets married, and the second prince and concubine only have to carry a dowry of one hundred and sixty. I said this is against the rules and asked you to reduce the dowry carry."

"You're still not happy because you think I can't bear to part with you."

"But you still used the money from the general's palace, jewelry, porcelain, ancient paintings, property from Zhuangzi's shop, and furniture made of fine wood to give your sister a dowry of one hundred and twenty taels."

"And thirty thousand taels of silver for your brother."

"This has almost emptied the general's mansion."

"I didn't expect that you would go behind my back and transfer the money used for expenses to buy a hot spring resort for your sister."

"Now I can't even afford my servant's monthly salary, and even the money for my concubine's medical treatment has to be withheld."

"Ge Chunru, you might as well change the entire general's mansion to Ge."

The old lady had often ridiculed him before, saying that the general's surname was Ge.
