Qiu Shi felt very sad, she really didn't know that the gifts given by General Bai's Mansion over the years were worth three thousand taels, and now she had to pay a one-time compensation to Qi Ke, it was estimated that she had to sell all the farm shops, and the family's assets had shrunk, even if she finally got the power of the family, she had no money to use.

Thinking of the field shop, Qiu's heart pinched, General Bai's mansion gave a Zhuangzi as an apology when he withdrew from the marriage this time, this did not enter the account of the public school, the two families have always talked about such a big thing as Qi Hongyi and the Bai family, the land deed she accepted last night, this is the private property of their long house, can not let people know, the past few years have not been good, the north is dry and the south is flooded, Zhuangzi is life-saving, every extra acre of land in the hands of the family can eat an extra bite of food.

Thinking of food, Qiu Shi was shocked again, she remembered that there were granaries at home, although each granary is not big, but there are several, adding up to tens of thousands of catties of grain, this can't let Qi Ke know, otherwise there will definitely be a fuss to discount the grain, there is a shortage of grain in the capital now, and the big families with grain at home are strictly guarding the amount of their own grain and resolutely not letting outsiders know, and not a single grain of grain can be released.

This decision had just been made, Qiu's eyes shifted to the housekeeper and the bookkeeper who were busy in the courtyard, and when he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to talk to them, a young man dressed as a small servant outside suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard in a panic, and rushed to the account room and shouted.

"Oh no! Oh no! ”

"What? Panicked, what it looks like! When the bookkeeper saw that it was his own people, he hurriedly reprimanded.

"Food! Food is gone! The little guy who came to report the news was so frightened that his face was pale, his legs were straight and weak, and he pulled the hem of the bookkeeper's clothes as if he had seen a savior.

“…… What the?! The bookkeeper was in a daze, and he couldn't believe it at all, "Are you serious?!" ”

"Really! Absolutely true! The six granaries were well locked, but there was no grain in them, and not a single grain was left! "The little guy doesn't care about secrecy or not, anyway, the family is already in chaos like this, what can he do with this piece of news.

"Running out of food?!" Hearing the little guy's report of the theft of grain, Qiu immediately couldn't sit still, and when he came out, he listened to the follow-up after the little guy, and the black man in front of him was about to faint, "It's all gone?!" ”

"Big lady, the food is all gone, it's true!" The little guy knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Qiu in fear.

“…… Who? Who did this to you?! Qiu was furious, his gaze changed suddenly, and he swept over everyone in the courtyard as if he wanted to eat people.

"There's such a big rat at home?" Qi Ke's mocking voice came from behind Qiu, she leaned against the door frame and clasped her hands, "I may not be able to eat a bowl of cold rice a day, my family is hoarding food in six granaries, is our family poor or rich?" ”

Qiu Shi only felt extremely harsh when he heard Qi Ke's words, and turned his head to glare at her.

Qi Ke was unhappy to be glared at by this glance, "Qiu, why are you staring at me?" Where did I say it wrong? You have the strength to stare at me, and if you don't hurry up to find out who in the family has the right to approach the granary and remove the grain, there is such a thing in the house, and you as masters don't know anything, it's really funny. ”

Throwing the black pot and the thief shouting to catch the thief is like this.

Qiu's family was choked by Qi Ke, and he was restless in his heart, the housekeeper had already ordered the family to take action at this time, and called all the subordinates here to concentrate, and the stewards took the roster and named them on the spot, counting the number of people first, and those who did not show up should also verify whether they took leave to see if there were any people who escaped from the Qi family by taking advantage of the chaos.
