The shopkeeper didn't buy her account at all, his face was fearless, and his eyes were rolling.

"There are a lot of people in this shop, and I don't know where the money went, so even if you ask me, it's useless."

Mingyuexi threw the account book in front of her and said sharply: "You are trying every possible way to cover up the account book, and you still say that you don't know?" ”

In the face of her questioning, the shopkeeper was also stiff, staring at her with round eyes and disdain, and his voice was as sharp as a knife.

"Anyway, the person who took the money is not me, I am not ashamed, it is our rule not to let me read the account book, it is the young lady who is embarrassed in every way, so I covered it up, I don't know where do you want me to start, or drive me out!"

Gu Yanbai found some inconsequential words to pass the time with the housekeeper, buying time for Mingyuexi to ask the truth, although the housekeeper's attitude was always respectful, but his face became more and more absent-minded, and he kept looking in the direction of the shop.

"Butler, can you buy what your grandmother asked you to do yesterday?" Gu Yanbai asked coldly.

"Naturally......, it's done," the housekeeper subconsciously continued, stunned after speaking, looked at Gu Yanbai's smiling eyes, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's the old slave who is distracted, and I ask the little marquis to forgive me!" ”

Gu Yanbai stared at him for a long time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke, "What is the housekeeper worried about?" ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to reach out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to face his gaze: "The young lady is doing things, the old slave has nothing to worry about, it's just ...... When people are old, their brains can't turn around. ”

Gu Yanbai hadn't noticed it before, but today's housekeeper was extraordinary, he had been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and it was the first time he panicked like this.

Unable to ask anything from the shopkeeper, Mingyuexi had no choice but to give up, she walked out of the shop and shook her head slightly towards Gu Yanbai.

She sighed helplessly and raised her eyebrows slightly: "There is such a big loophole in the shop, no one knows, then it is considered that everyone is at fault, and from now on, you will be fired." ”

When his words fell, everyone was quiet, with different thoughts in their hearts, and the housekeeper looked at this scene, anxious, racking his brains to think about how to persuade.

At this moment, a shopkeeper suddenly rushed out behind the shopkeeper and knelt in front of Mingyuexi.

"Little Marquis Young Lady, please don't drive me away, I want to stay here to work, I'll tell you everything I know!"

Mingyuexi's eyes lit up and helped him up: "You say." ”

The shopkeeper, who didn't even react to being dismissed, suddenly became nervous at this time, and took the first step and said: "Young lady, he is just a new junior second, don't easily listen to slander!" ”

"Whether it's the truth or slander, you always have to listen to it to know," Mingyuexi looked at her with interest, smiling, but it made the shopkeeper feel cold in his heart, "The shopkeeper just told me that he was open-minded and worthy of his heart, but he didn't dare to listen?" ”

didn't need the shopkeeper's reply, Ming Yuexi directly set her eyes on Xiao Er in front of her: "You say, what is the truth?" ”

"Young and young lady, although the little one doesn't know who the corrupt person is, but the little one knows that the shopkeeper is not open-minded, and when she wants to pay her salary at the end of each month, she always finds a reason to withhold it, saying that the Hou Mansion has not given the silver yet, or we are not doing well."

Mingyuexi was silent, and had a plan in her heart, although there was not much money in the account, it was still more than enough to pay a few juniors, so how could she need to ask the Hou Mansion for money?

This shopkeeper really has a bad heart.

The more Xiao Er spoke, the more indignant he became, he turned around and pointed at the housekeeper: "And him, I often see the housekeeper come to the store to have a private meeting with the owner, they are very intimate, if there is no one around, and the account book housekeeper in the store has also seen it, he ......"

"Shut up! Run off at the mouth! The butler interrupted him with a roar, causing Xiao Er to take two steps back and hide behind Mingyuexi.

"Young lady, you must not listen to his nonsense!" The housekeeper knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the two, "He just made it up in order not to be driven away, if he slandered the innocence of the old slave because of his own words, what is everything the old slave has done for the Hou Mansion loyally and dutifully for the past few decades?" Please also ask the young lady to be clear! ”

"I'm still a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, and I don't treat you well on weekdays, how can you be innocent? How can I get married? ”

The shopkeeper also knelt on the ground with a plop, and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief: "I am innocent with the housekeeper, and I also ask the young lady to investigate, if the most important reputation of the woman is damaged, then I can only prove myself with death!" ”

Mingyuexi's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, there were many flaws in the words of the shopkeeper and the housekeeper, and she was more inclined to the shopkeeper in her heart, but there was no evidence in the end, which made her entangled for a while.

The butler lay on the ground and thought, his mind moved, his eyes flashed with the essence of calculation, and then he raised his head, with a serious and honest face.

"Young lady, there are some things that the old slave shouldn't have said, and he shouldn't have done it so desperately, but now, tolerance has caused a big disaster, and the old slave has to say it!"

"This shopkeeper pretends to be very pitiful, in fact, his family is quite poor, so he often has unclean hands and feet in the store, and does some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, but thinking of his pity, I didn't drive him away, I never thought that he would beat a rake in order to make a living today, which is hopeless."

The shopkeeper's face turned red, his chest rose and fell violently, and he jumped out to retort, "Although my family is poor, I have never stolen anything!" ”

The shopkeeper, who was still crying and wiping away his tears, also changed his weak and aggrieved appearance, and immediately stood up and agreed, covering his heart and making a heartache.

"I thought you were just poor, but I didn't expect that you would be clever and clever, and you dared to fabricate stories to slander others in front of the young lady, if these people were dismissed, and only you stayed, then wouldn't this shop fall into your hands, what do you say you do?"

"You, you ......" Xiao Er pointed at them angrily, his hands were trembling, his body was trembling, and he didn't know how to refute.

"Little Marquis, everyone here can testify, you can not believe me, but what about them?" The shopkeeper looked at the other clerks behind him, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

The others looked at each other and testified one after another.

"Yes, his family is surrounded by walls, and it is indeed easy to have a bad heart!"

"No wonder my broken silver is always lost ......"

"The shopkeeper is already merciful and ungrateful to give him food!"

Listening to the discussion behind him, the shopkeeper had a trace of smugness on his face, and then he was aggrieved again, and wiped his tears sadly: "Young lady, I happened to lose a pair of silver bracelets today, and I was about to investigate thoroughly, even if I want to get rid of me, let me find it first, so that I can know who is lying!" ”
