The third aunt looked back at the warehouse: "How do you know it's artificial?" I also looked at it, and I didn't see any traces. ”

"There are no candles in broad daylight, where is the source of fire? The weather is not dry, and it is unlikely to be a natural disaster. Chu Yuqin said lightly: "The most important thing is that the warehouse is on fire, no matter how it starts, there is always a place that is the first to catch fire." I saw it, and it was a man-made fire. ”

"Didn't look at what you turned over. I've seen where you've seen. But I just don't see any traces of man-made. It can be seen that you are still smarter. The third aunt said, "Since it is artificial, what does this steward want to do?" Just to give you a moldy head? ”

"Presumably to hide that there is a shortage of things in the storeroom! The number in the treasury is not right, and we have to find a way to solve it. Isn't it a good reason to be burned by fire? Although it is inevitable to take a board, it is better than exposure, right? Chu Yuqin said.

"You know!" The third aunt chuckled.

"Of course I do! Anyway, I have run a store, and I will inevitably meet a few unfaithful minions, how can I not know? Chu Yuqin said lightly: "I also know that he is a warehouse manager, and no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to swallow so many things." He only dared to take advantage of a small advantage, and did not dare to touch such a royal gift as Yunjin. So these things must have been appropriated by someone. In order to conceal this matter, the treasury steward must come out and bear this pot. ”

"And who do you think is the master behind him?" The third aunt asked.

"Isn't that obvious? Although the Ling Guo Mansion is quite large, there are no more than three people who have the courage to do so. I have a big problem in my mind. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to what you're going to do next. I hope you don't let me down! The third aunt said: "If you want to give me a part of the power of the family, should you give me a token?" Otherwise, those women will be spicy, and I won't be able to stand it. ”

Chu Yuqin took out a jade pendant from his waist: "This is for you." This was given to me by the Duchess of China. You carry useful. ”

"Then thank you, Mrs. Shiko." The third aunt shook the jade pendant. "I'll go first."

After the third aunt left, Chu Yuqin called Zhu Xue over: "You go and do something." ”

Zhu Xue listened to Chu Yuqin's words, and her eyes were full of light: "I like to do such a fun thing the most." ”

Qiu Yin went to supervise the warehouse manager to count the accounts, and Zhu Xue went to do something for her. Chu Yuqin thought of Ling Shengzhi, who was broken by Jiang Xuan, and decided to go and have a look.

"I've seen Mrs. Shiko." The people of Xiyuan saw Chu Yuqin and saluted her.

"Are your eldest prince and eldest young lady here?" Chu Yuqin stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not rush in.

The maidservant said respectfully, "The eldest prince and the eldest young lady are here." ”

"Then you go in and report it, and say I'll come and see them." Chu Yuqin said lightly.

"Yes."

Not long after the maidservant entered, Jiang walked out.

Her eyes were red, her cheeks were sparkling, and she was obviously crying.

"Why are my brother and sister here?" Jiang's voice was a little hoarse.

"I heard that the eldest brother was injured. I'll take a look. Have you ever asked for a doctor? ”

Chu Yuqin originally had the idea of befriending the Jiang family, but he didn't have this idea during this time.

Maybe Jiang is not a bad person. However, she is a fool.

I only cry when I encounter things, and I don't know how to deal with them. Are such people confused?

As the saying goes, if you're not afraid of a god-like opponent, you're afraid of a pig-like teammate.

Jiang is a pig-like teammate.

However, for the sake of being friendly when she first got married, as long as the Jiang family didn't provoke her, she would take extra care of her.

Jiang was a little embarrassed.

Chu Yuqin said that Ling Shengzhi was injured, but did not say how he was injured. But she knew all about it, how could she not know what happened?

Her eldest brother really didn't leave her a way to live. Even if she gets married, he can still torture her.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" Chu Yuqin saw that Jiang's expression was wrong, and called her.

Jiang Shi came back to his senses and said lightly: "Fujun is indeed injured, but it is not serious. The doctor came here just now. Thank you for your concern. ”

"It's okay. If you need help, you can come to me. Anyway, our husbands are brothers, and we are concubines. You can treat me like a sister. Chu Yuqin said: "Since the eldest brother is fine, then I won't go in." ”

Ling Shengzhi's voice came from inside: "My brother and sister are here, come in and sit for a while!" You haven't been to the Heeon Courtyard yet. Can't fail to let you have a cup of tea? ”

Chu Yuqin was about to leave. Hearing Ling Shengzhi say this, he looked at the Jiang family next to him: "I'm afraid this is a little disturbing." ”

"Didn't my brother and sister say that we are concubines, like sisters? Since it's a sister, it's just a matter of inviting you in for a cup of tea, how can it be considered an interruption? Inside please. ”

Chu Yuqin followed Jiang Shi in.

Ling Shengzhi's head was wrapped in cloth. He was holding a book and looking at it. When he heard the voice, he looked up.

"I've seen Big Brother."

"Madam, pour a cup of tea for your brother and sister." Ling Shengzhi put down the book in his hand.

Jiang nodded yes.

While Jiang was pouring tea, Ling Shengzhi pointed to the opposite side: "Brother and sister, please take a seat." ”

Chu Yuqin sat down.

"My younger brother and sister just got married, but they took the Ling Guo Mansion in their hands. It's a clever tactic. Ling Shengzhi smiled. If my lady had been half as smart as you, she wouldn't have been able to deal with a little dumb brother. ”

"My sister-in-law is kind, which is a good thing. I am a businesswoman born in a businessman, and I don't have the virtuousness of everyone's ladies, only this spicy energy. Big brother, don't laugh at it. Besides, I didn't rob the power of the family, but the Duchess sent it to me. As a daughter-in-law, of course, you have to share your worries with your mother-in-law. Don't you see how sick your mother-in-law is now? I'm scared! ”

Jiang came over and brought tea to Chu Yuqin and Ling Shengzhi.

Ling Shengzhi beckoned to the Jiang clan.

Jiang walked over flattered.

"We are naturally happy that my brother and sister can come to see us. By the way, there is something that needs to be troubled by my brother and sister. Ling Shengzhi said: "Your sister-in-law is also bored when she is idle all day long, so it is better for you to send her something to do." It doesn't have to be too complicated, just manage the needlework room and the like. ”

Chu Yuqin never thought that Ling Shengzhi called her in to talk about this matter.

Is there any use in managing a sewing room?

The sewing room is a place where there is no oil and water, and it is not very special.

Chu Yuqin really wanted to know what Ling Shengzhi wanted to do.

"Big brother has solved my big problem. I'm worried that I don't have enough people! If my sister-in-law can come and help me, I can't ask for it! Chu Yuqin said: "Sister-in-law, are you willing?" ”
