When he said this, he hurriedly added: "The old slave knows that he has done something wrong, and he doesn't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but don't worry, I will definitely return all the money I once took, no, no, I will even return it with interest, and I will never dare to think like this in the future, please be merciful, don't send me to the official!"

He had not been so frightened before, but when the next man sent his real ledger, he learned another news, and it was said that the people of the government had raided the homes of the two stewards.

Thinking that he has not been greedy for ink over the years, so the steward's mind has become more and more active, he has not yet reached the time when he can't think about it, if he can make up for it, maybe he can not blame the past in the future.

After all, if the eldest lady really wanted to hold herself accountable, then Fang Cai would not fail to point out the problems in his accounts directly.

And the reason why I let myself go back to get the account book later was not to give myself a chance?

But the premise is that you have to be obedient.

This steward thought clearly, so there was no pressure to speak sincerely, seeing that he was loyal, Qin Huaiyu nodded, and didn't say anything, just flipped through the ledger.

And the contents of this account book made her very satisfied, it was true.

At the very least, the steward didn't fool himself for a fool.

With the beginning of the first person, several other people also hurriedly handed over their account books, and their words were similar to his.

"Miss, please be gracious, we are really confused for a while, and there are old and young in the family, we were forced to be helpless at that time, please understand!"

Hearing the words of these people, Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything, just took over the account books and flipped them page by page.

And those stewards who were standing there felt their legs tremble a little inexplicably, and they didn't know how much Qin Huaiyu listened to their words.

Until Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth: "Let's put the account book for the time being, whether it is true or not, I will talk about it after I read it." It's just—"

When she said this, she said, "What to do when you go back, you should know it in your own hearts, right?"

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's inquiry, the few stewards immediately nodded busily and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, we know what to do." ”

The so-called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, the two who were taken away by the government before were chickens, and they were the monkeys.

If they don't get along at this point, then their fate will be obvious.

Obviously, they don't want to end up like that.

So after Qin Huaiyu gave the way, he walked back by the way.

Seeing these people's reassurances, Qin Huaiyu nodded and asked them to go back first.

Those people still wanted to say something, but seeing Qin Huaiyu's current appearance, they didn't dare to say anything more for a while, but after everyone was gone, Qin Huaiyu picked up the account book and said with a smile: "Mother, I'll take these account books and check them slowly." ”

Zhuang Yuelan agreed with a smile, and said: "These accounts, if there is something you don't understand, come to me, or find Grandma Zhuang, don't be too embarrassed." ”

It's one thing to know that her daughter wants to work hard to share her worries, but Zhuang Yuelan also knows that she will not have too thorough opinions about these things for a while, so she can't help but remind her.

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu responded with a smile and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm not such an inflexible person, and I will definitely bother you when I encounter trouble." ”

When she said this, she said: "I have roughly flipped a little bit just now, the authenticity of this account book should be correct, there are many accounts in it, and I have to trouble you." ”

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Yuelan couldn't help but shake her head and smile, and said, "Okay, I know you have an opinion." ”

Qin Huaiyu smiled, remembering something, and said, "Mother, I still have some things, go to my grandmother's first, you can stay in the room and rest for a while." ”

Hearing her words, Zhuang Yuelan suddenly got up and said, "Yes, if you don't say it, I'm going to forget, your grandmother is still waiting, and I have to go over too." ”

Who would have thought that she was stopped by Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said: "Don't go, I'll ask Mama to invite Lang Zhong to come over later, you just pretend to be sick, I'll invite you to watch the play." ”

In the end, it was her own daughter, as soon as she saw her smile, Zhuang Yuelan knew that this girl was afraid of what idea she had, so she asked, "What the hell do you have again?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but instruct: "Your grandmother is old, don't act too casually." Even if she doesn't have a good opinion of this mother-in-law, she can't let her daughter act wrong and let people fall into the trap.

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will never come nonsense." ”

It wasn't until Qin Huaiyu went away with a smile that Zhuang Yuelan put away her smile and said lightly: "Mama, you also go over and take a look, don't let the eldest lady really mess around." ”

Hearing this, Mama Zhuang replied and said, "Yes, madam." ”

......

After coming out of Canglan Courtyard, I saw Jin Yu still standing outside the door waiting.

In this deep winter afternoon, the sun was thin and cold, Jin Yu waited for half a day, his face was faintly pale, and when he saw Qin Huaiyu come out, he saluted with a bit of hindsight: "Say hello to the eldest lady." ”

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu nodded and said lightly: "Grandmother said that there is something to summon?"

The golden jade was so cold that her body was a little numb, and when she heard what she said, she thought for a moment before she said, "Back to the eldest lady, the old lady said to ask the eldest lady to come over and ask about something." ”

She didn't say that she wanted to ask about these shops, but only said this vaguely.

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu glanced at her and said, "My mother is not feeling well, since my grandmother has something important to wait for, then I will go with you to see her." ”

Jin Yu subconsciously wanted to stop her, but before the words could be spoken, he swallowed back after seeing Qin Huaiyu's expression.

"Yes. ”

Canglan Courtyard is not far from Ning'an Hall, but it will be a moment away, Jin Yu went to return to the old lady first, and after a while, he saw Jin Yu come out again, and said respectfully: "Miss, the old lady please go in." ”

The ground dragon in the room was burning, she was not cold at this time, and her voice was a little confident.

Qin Huaiyu nodded slightly, picked up the curtain by the maid, and walked in.

When I first entered the room, I saw that Old Madam Qin's expression was extremely ugly, and when she looked at her, she frowned.

"Greetings to Grandmother. ”

Old Madam Qin didn't pay attention to her, but she was still fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, but her expression didn't match her peace of mind.
