Chapter 23: The Wisdom of the Clan

When Dou Rong pushed the door in, she saw that the bedding in the room was neatly folded, and there was no trace of moving, thinking that Chen Yunling spent the night in the study yesterday.

She couldn't understand the matter of a housekeeper, why was it worth it for Miss She was so thoughtful and laborious, sighed, put the washing things on the shelf, turned around and went to the study.

Entering the study, I found that Chen Yunling was awake, still looking at the account book, the lamp oil on the case had burned out, and the tea was also cold, Dou Rong thought that Chen Yunling had not closed his eyes when he opened his eyes, so he stepped forward angrily, stretched out his hand and snatched the booklet from Chen Yunling's hand.

Chen Yunling was looking at it intently, and he didn't feel that someone came in at all, and suddenly the things in his hand were taken away, and he was a little annoyed for a while: "Who! ”

She looked up and saw that the perpetrator was Dou Rong, and Nizi was throwing aside the booklet she had snatched from her hand with anger on her face.

"What are you angry about?" Chen Yunling rubbed his eyebrows, unable to arrive.

"What do you say I'm angry about? Isn't it just to read a ledger, I don't even sleep, I don't care about my body like this! Dou Rong hugged her arms and said angrily.

Chen Yunling couldn't cry or laugh a little, she didn't expect this Nizi to care so much about herself one day, "Tut-tut, it seems that I have been so good to you recently that I dared to ride on my head." ”

Chen Yunling moved his stiff shoulders, put away the things on the table and then got up, "I slept on my stomach for a while last night, and it was not that I didn't sleep at all, but it was too late to go back to the room." ”

After hearing this, Dou Rong's face was a little better, and suddenly she noticed that there was an unseen cloak on the chair, as if it was not from this courtyard, so she picked it up curiously and looked at it, feeling familiar.

"This is the son of the world." Chen Yunling moistened his throat with a sip of cold tea overnight, and saw Dou Rong looking at the cloak, "Go back and wash it so that you can send it to him." ”

When Dou Rong heard that it was Shizi's thing, she couldn't help but gossip in her heart, "Can't you see that Shizi cares about you so much, he came over in the middle of the night, and he specially left you a cloak yesterday, saying, do you have something." ”

"What's the matter, it's that you think too much." Hearing this, Chen Yunling almost choked on a sip of tea, she pretended to cough and hide the embarrassment below, "Shizi just came over to see how I checked, just casually, casually." ”

"Shh Dou Rong pursed her lips, "Whoever goes out will believe it!" Let's eat first, and then watch it after resting, otherwise the prince will be distressed again! ”

After speaking, Dou Rong walked out happily with her cloak, leaving Chen Yunling to stand in place awkwardly alone.

"It seems that you really have to teach this Nizi rules, and she actually teased me."

After eating and resting for a long time, Chen Yunling only felt refreshed and full of cleanliness, but seeing that it was not too early, he asked someone to move his things back to the house, and simply did not go to the study.

She wanted to look at the account book as usual, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she flipped out the notes she remembered one by one, and then compared them one by one, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she felt.

After carefully comparing it a few times, Chen Yunling fell backwards, leaned on the back of the chair, covered his head with the notebook in his hand, and pondered.

After a few moments, she pulled down the contents of her face, tossed them aside, and patted her face again to sober herself up.

"What a good method, I was almost deceived!"

She muttered, feeling in her heart that this matter was not simple, if she was going to confront someone directly for fear of startling the snake, it would be better to discuss it with Xie Jieyou before making a plan.

After paying attention, Chen Yunling picked up a little, and then quietly went to Xie Jieyou's study.

Seeing Chen Yunling's arrival, Xie Jieyou was a little surprised, "It's almost time for dinner, why did you come over?" ”

Chen Yunling didn't say anything, and after carefully closing the door, he stepped forward and spread out the things he brought on the table one by one, and arranged them one by one in order.

Xie Jieyou saw that she was so serious, thinking that it was a big deal, so he checked them one by one in order, at first he felt that there was nothing, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, only to know that the palace was looking at the scenery, but in fact, the inside was about to be ruined.

Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou's face, "I don't know what the prince can see?" ”

"There is nothing wrong with reading these ledgers individually, but if you look at them one by one, it will be a big problem." Xie Jieyou frowned and said what he thought.

The concubine thought the same thing. Previously, the concubine and the eldest prince were classified according to the type of matter and then checked them one by one, but they didn't find any mistakes at all. If you hadn't lined these up in chronological order yesterday, the concubine might have been blinded! Chen Yunling saw that Xie Jieyou had the same thoughts as herself, and hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"You're right, sorting and inspecting by type is convenient and the most common method, but I didn't expect to be exploited by them." Xie Jieyou held her cheeks, staring at the things on the table without leaving her eyes.

"Like here, we buy grain at a low price and exchange it for crops at a high price; Another example is here, selling things, but not making money......" Chen Yunling pointed out one by one, telling his findings.

"It's true that there are more outs and less inflows. I didn't find such a big problem before, if you hadn't discovered it today, I don't know how they would have filled their pockets and hollowed out this family. ”

"I simply found out, and now it's urgent to save it." Chen Yunling patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "The concubine didn't dare to startle the snake, for fear that they would find evidence of annihilation, so I came to ask my master's thoughts." ”

Xie Jieyou thought about it for a while, and felt that Chen Yunling made sense, "You're right, if you let them know that they have been exposed, they will definitely jump off the wall in a hurry, so it's better to think about how to catch them all." ”

"I don't know what kind of way the prince has to go?" Chen Yunling asked curiously.

Xie Jieyou didn't answer in a hurry, she stretched out her hand to put away the things on the table one by one, folded them neatly, and then spoke: "This is always to let the mother concubine know, after all, she handed over the housekeeping to Huang Rong before, tomorrow, you will follow me to see the mother concubine, and explain these discoveries to her." ”

After hearing this, Chen Yunling also felt that it was time to let the princess know that it would be better if the princess disposed of Huang Rong herself, "Then the concubine will go back first today." ”

"Well, okay, go back and have a good rest, and remember not to let anyone know." Xie Jieyou instructed.

"The concubine body knows, and the concubine body will retire first."

After speaking, Chen Yunling took the things out of the study, the sky had already darkened, and the stars in the sky could be vaguely seen, which were very beautiful by flashing and flashing.

On the second day, Chen Yunling got up early to take care of everything, and then followed Xie Jieyou to meet Princess Bai of Jian'an.

Bai received the news early in the morning that they were coming, and heard that they had important matters to discuss with him, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he withdrew from the subordinates who were waiting by the way.

Xie Jieyou took Chen Yunling into the room, and first stepped forward to salute.

"The son has seen his mother."

"The concubine has seen the princess."

Bai Shi was not a person who particularly valued false etiquette, and he didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the point: "Get up, no need to be polite." I heard that today you have come to me to discuss something, and I don't know what it is, so let me hear it. ”

This was the first time Chen Yunling had seen the Bai family, and he thought that the Bai family was not easy to speak, and he was a little apprehensive before he came. However, after seeing the deity, I felt very kind.

The two got up, Xie Jieyou glanced at Chen Yunling, Chen Yunling understood, and stepped forward to hand the evidence he had sorted out to the Bai family.

Bai Shi looked at the unknown reason, and asked suspiciously, "What are these?" ”

Xie Jieyou did not answer her question directly, but said: "The mother concubine might as well take a look first and then ask, the son specially brought someone over, and he definitely didn't tease the mother concubine." ”

Hearing this, Bai Shi held the list in his hand and looked at it one by one, his face gradually revealed a little anger from the previous calm, "What the hell is going on!" ”

After reading it, Bai Shi slammed the things in his hand on the table and asked.

"The mother concubine was angry, the mother asked Huang Rong to take care of the house, but she never thought that she would collude with outsiders and tolerate adultery, and the son found out and came to ask the mother to decide."

"It seems that Concubine Ben mistook her by looking at her, come on, go and call Huang Rong to me, I want to ask her face to face, who did she collude with to do such a shameless thing."

Xie Jieyou knew that her mother was a person who couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, and she would definitely call someone directly for questioning, so she opened her mouth to stop her, "No, if you call her at this time and don't let her know that we have discovered this matter, in the end, you can only startle the snake." ”

Bai Shi thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, "That's true, but this woman can't be let go." ”

She saw that there was another person beside Xie Jieyou, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"This is her son's concubine, Mrs. Murray, and it was she who helped her son take care of the housekeeper during this time, and she also discovered these things."

"Lady Ling?" Bai Shi was a little puzzled, "It's the one who is said to have stolen the gold in the mansion a few days ago?" Raise your head and show it to the concubine. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yunling could only do so, raised his head and looked at the Bai family respectfully.

Bai Shi carefully looked at the woman in front of her, she was a sign, not like a person who was used to stealing chickens and dogs, "You found all this?" ”

Seeing that Bai asked himself, Chen Yunling replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hui Niangniang, it was the concubine who found out." ”

"Oh? Do you still have the ability? It seems that the rumors are not credible! ”

"The concubine did have some bad rumors in the palace a few days ago, but it was not done by the concubine, it was just harmed by the villain, and I hope the princess will learn from it."

"Since You'er believes in you so much, Concubine Ben naturally believes in you too, so why don't you tell me your opinion." Bai asked.

"The concubine is going to play a play with the prince to lure the snake out of the hole and completely pull people out, and the mother just needs to wait to see the result."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, be sure to check it out for me." The Bai family is also tired, and after explaining the matter, there will be no two left.

Out of the courtyard, Xie Jieyou pulled Chen Yunling to the side and asked quietly, "When did I say I was going to act with you?" ”

"Secret!" Chen Yunling looked at Xie Jieyou playfully and said, "You just need to cooperate with me when the time comes." ”
