After returning to Hanlian Courtyard, Jinsu immediately went to Chunyue for interrogation, and the result was the same as she expected, Chunyue didn't know anything about ginseng, let alone receive one every day. And the reason why Grandma Sun did this, if it wasn't for the princess's instructions, then it was to find a backstabber for herself.

Either way, Jinsu must bring this matter to the fore today.

Jin Su took Chunyue straight to Yunxiang Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the door, the old lady greeted her with a smile, "Su'er, you came by coincidence, you just sent the dim sum, try it." ”

She took the dim sum and savored it carefully, and praised, "Grandmother, such a good dim sum, I'm afraid it can only be rubbed here by you." ”

"Silly girl, what are you talking about, this is a snack made by our big kitchen, if you like it, you can go to the kitchen to get it at any time." The old lady didn't know what Jin Su had to say, but she didn't know that the kitchen could be used for her own snacks.

Suddenly, Jin Su gave the old lady a big gift.

"Ouch~, what is this for? How can you make such a big gift? ”

The old lady really didn't treat her as an outsider now, and personally stepped forward to help her up, not to mention, but also asked with concern, "What's going on?" ”

"Grandmother......" Jinsu was just about to speak, and An Xiayu's cry came in, which was really a coincidence.

"Grandmother, grandmother......" An Xiayu came in with a pitiful look of pear blossoms and rain, walked straight to the old lady and knelt down, and cried.

The old lady wiped her tears from An Xiayu in distress, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Grandmother ———"

"Grandmother is going to make decisions for me!"

"What's going on today, why are you ......" The old lady frowned and looked at An Xiayu, and then at her.

"Sister Xia Yu should also be for the account books, right!?" Jinsu asked deliberately.

An Xiayu wiped her tears and nodded.

The old lady couldn't understand it even more, "What account book?" ”

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jin Su said eloquently, "Grandmother doesn't know, just now when I went to the treasury to get the monthly silver, I happened to meet Sister Xia Yu. The grandmother-in-law in the treasury said that Xia Yu's sister owed the cost of medicinal materials before, and now even if she did not receive medicinal materials, she was not giving out monthly silver. And our Hanlian Academy, which is only more than a month, has already owed more than 50 taels to the treasury, I can't understand it, so I asked for the account books to check. ”

Saying this, Jin Su took out the account book and turned to the page where Chunyue received ginseng for four consecutive days.

"The account book records that I went to get ginseng on every day of the spring moon, which caused Hanlian Yuan to owe so much. However, I have been at Jianshan Temple with my grandmother for the past few days, how can I ask Chunyue to receive ginseng, I asked Chunyue just now, and she also said that she did not receive it. ”

Chunyue stepped forward, knelt in front of the old lady, and said with an innocent face, "Old lady, I really haven't used ginseng!" When Grandma Sun said this, didn't it make people think that I secretly took the eldest lady's ginseng? ”

"Grandmother, this matter should have gone to the princess to preside over the overall situation, after all, she is the housewife. But now that the third sister is unwell, and the princess is guarding day and night, I am afraid that she is really lacking in skills. So Su'er had no choice but to bring Chunyue and let her grandmother call the shots. ”

After Jinsu finished speaking, he gave An Xiayu a look.

An Xiayu immediately understood, took out the burden behind him and opened it, which contained all kinds of medicinal materials, and opened the account book and spread it on his hand.

"Grandmother, this is the medicinal herb that my aunt received from the treasury last month, and most of them match the account books. There is only one thing that is not right, it is ginseng! And according to the account books, we will receive at least two ginseng sticks every month! It's just a non-existent thing. ”

When the old lady heard this, her brows furrowed more and more, not like she looked unbelievable, but more like she was thinking about something.

Jin Su struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Grandmother, this matter is not big or small. To put it mildly, it is nothing more than an error in the account book, and of course, it is also possible that the people in our two yards have taken something and have to pay the bill. Thinking about it bigger, if Grandma Sun did it on purpose, then so much ginseng must have been moved by her, and there are still so many ginseng in our two hospitals that can be misappropriated, what about the entire Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Hearing this, the old lady could no longer sit down, and immediately ordered Mama Zhang to bring her grandmother for questioning.

After a pause, the old lady asked vigilantly, "Su'er, do you know anything else?" ”

"It's not a secret, when I didn't enter the house earlier, I saw my grandmother take ginseng to the Jiahe medicine shop to pawn, because of the high quality, the master was afraid that it would not be clean, so he asked a few more words, and then I knew that these ginseng were all from the prime minister's house."

"Really?" The old master asked incredulously.

"It's true!" After Jin Su finished speaking categorically, it happened that Mrs. Sun also arrived.

Grandma Sun came in and saw that she and An Xiayu were there, and she probably knew what was going on, so she knelt in front of the old lady with a "poof".

The old lady said in a straight voice, "Grandma, do you know what called you here?" ”

Grandma Sun didn't dare to look up at her and An Xiayu directly, and the afterglow swept across the room before she said, "This eldest lady and second lady snatched the account books from the treasury just now, and the old lady called the old slave to come at this time, it must be for this matter." ”

"Hmph," the old lady snorted coldly, "now that you already know, let's talk about it." ”

"Old lady Mingjian, the old slave has also been in the treasury of the Prime Minister's Mansion for decades, and there has been no mistake in the accounting. Not long after the eldest lady returned home, she was kind-hearted, and if she met a girl who deceived her superiors and concealed her subordinates, she couldn't check the accounts for a while. ”

Grandma Sun's justified remarks must have come prepared, and it seems that this basin of dirty water is designated to be poured on Chunyue's body.

Chunyue naturally heard the meaning of Grandma Sun's words, that is, she was talking about her, and immediately shouted injustice, "Old lady, eldest lady Mingjian, ginseng is indeed not what I use." ”

"Hmph~, I guess I took it in the name of my master, and I secretly embezzled it!" Grandma Sun scoffed.

"You talk nonsense!" Chunyue roared.

Jin Su saw that the two of them were arguing with each other, so he said, "Grandma Sun, then let me ask you, who have you stolen and sold the ginseng in the house for?" ”

Grandma Sun thought about it for a while, and then she insisted, "Never!" The eldest lady should not tarnish the innocence of the old slave. ”

"Heh~ I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, have you forgotten to go to the Jiahe Pharmacy to pawn?"

Mentioning "Jiahe Pharmacy," Grandma Sun instantly raised her head and looked at Jinsu suspiciously.

"You don't know that I'm a disciple of Doctor Kong! If you can't remember it for a while, it's better to call my master to confront you, I believe she will definitely remember you as a regular customer! Jin Su said lightly.

"You, you...... I, I ......" Grandma Zi was incoherent and did not utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The old lady slapped on the table with a "snap", "Grandma Sun, you really dare to steal the ginseng in the house?" It's in vain that I've trusted you for so many years. Let's talk about it, how many things have been stolen over the years? ”

Grandma Sun immediately kowtowed and admitted her mistake, and begged for mercy with tears, "The old lady forgives the sins, the old lady forgives the sins, it was the old slave who was greedy for a while, and then he made a big mistake." ”

The old lady didn't speak with a dark face, and Mama Zhang on the side asked her grandmother, "Except for the five sticks planted for Chunyue, and the two sticks per month from the second lady, what else?" It's not clear yet! ”

"Old lady, no, really no, the old lady spares her life, the old lady spares her life!" The grandmother knew that she had no words to quibble, so she kept pleading.

Seeing that the old lady was not moved, the grandmother climbed forward and pulled the old lady's clothes, crying, "Old lady, the old slave has been serving in the prime minister's mansion since he was sixteen years old, and he has been conscientious all his life, beg the old lady to give me another chance, give me another chance!" ”

In the end, the old lady was still a little soft-hearted, and said bitterly, "You have made a big mistake, how can you still give you a chance!" Alas~ Let's take it down first, and then make a decision after discussion. ”

Mama Zhang and Mama Qi on the side responded hello, and went down with the crying grandmother-in-law.

"Grandmother, it's Su'er who is not good, and it bothers you again."

The old lady sighed and shook her head, "You can't be blamed for this, it's her who did something wrong." ”

After speaking, he also pulled An Xiayu up and comforted, "Don't cry, from now on, the accounts of your Yangwu Courtyard will start to be recorded again." ”

An Xiayu got up and smiled with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, grandmother!" ”

The old lady took An Xiayu's hand, looked at Jin Su again, and said politely, "The matter of the grandmother-in-law will also be discussed with your father, after all, she is also an old man who has served in the Prime Minister's Mansion for decades, and it is not good to kill her all of them." ”

"What my grandmother said was that it was up to my father and grandmother to decide. Now that Su'er has been cleared, she has no other demands. ”

"Grandmother, but I ......" An Xiayu was stopped by the old lady as soon as she spoke.

"Xia Yu, I know that you have been wronged in Yangwu Hospital over the years. In this way, I will be in charge of this matter, and your previous foolish accounts will be written off, and you are not allowed to mention it again. From next month, everything will start from scratch, okay? Although the old lady was asking An Xiayu's opinion, in fact, she had already made a decision for her, so there was no room for negotiation.

An Xiayu naturally understood this, so he got off the donkey and had to nod his head in agreement.

After that, the old lady asked about Aunt Wang's situation again. A few people chatted until dark, and then had dinner together before they dispersed.
