One of the managers mentioned hesitantly, "Without intending to hide anything from you, Miss, the sanctuary has indeed been facing difficulties these days. We have a fixed monthly expenditure, but the sudden increase in grain prices has not changed our fixed allocation of funds. The sanctuary accounts are already spending more than we can afford..."
"Yes, our accounts are transparent. Each and every expense is clearly documented. Please take a look, Miss."
Cai Wei took the ledger, looked it over, and upon finding no errors, she smiled and said, "Everyone just rest assured. These external factors that lead to expenditures exceeding income, we'll naturally not blame you all. Whatever shortfall, we'll just top up accordingly."
As she spoke, she took out two hundred taels of silver and placed it on the desk.
