Another peaceful day passed, and Mu Yunlan was about to go back to her yard when she saw Qi being helped and walked over.

A few days ago, Qi suddenly fainted, after waking up, his spirit was not as good as day by day, and he almost couldn't get out of bed for the past two days.

"Auntie, your body hasn't healed yet, why don't you take a good rest?" Mu Yunlan smiled.

"I don't worry about the old lady, so let's take a look." Qi's emaciation was terrible, his cheeks looked very thin, and he suddenly showed a smiling expression, looking a little hideous, "Yun Lan, taking care of your grandmother these days has been extremely hard, right?" ”

"This is what I'm supposed to do, what's there to work on?"

"It's good if it's not hard," Qi stared at her deadly, his eyes were hooked, his black eyeballs were a little foggy, and after a long time, people felt cold behind his back, "Your grandfather and they have all left, I thought you were also in a hurry to get out of this family!" ”

"The eldest aunt also said that the Mu family is also my home, since it is home, why should I be in a hurry to leave?" Qi's bite by trap made Mu Yunlan can't help but cheer up to deal with it.

"Heh, people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, who knows if they have other thoughts," Qi Shi turned his head to look at Mu Wanyi who was following beside him, and stretched out his hand to beckon her over, "Yun Lan, I have already discussed with your grandfather, and I want to recognize Wanyi under my knees, from today onwards, she will be the concubine of my big house." ”

Mu Yunlan's eyes moved, and then he smiled: "Then I have to congratulate the eldest aunt and the second sister." ”

Mu Wanyi's face was slightly red, with a little embarrassment, she stood behind Qi and nodded at her in response.

Qi smiled at the corners of his lips and led Mu Wanyi into Geng's room.

Mu Yunlan stood in place for a moment, a little unsure of what the Qi clan was going to do.

"Yun Lan." Wei walked over with a smile, "The weather has been extremely hot in the past two days, although the sun has set, and the ground is still roasting, what are you doing standing here?" ”

Since the beginning of spring, there have only been two rains in the imperial capital, and the amount of rain is not large, as soon as April, the weather suddenly becomes hotter, and in May, noon is almost the same as the dog days, and the DPRK and China are panicking because of this matter.

"I just said a few words to my eldest aunt, and my second aunt came to see my grandmother?"

Wei took her hand and sat down in the gazebo on the side, and after beckoning people to serve refreshments, he asked the maids to retreat: "In the past two days, I really can't deal with the things in the house, no, I just got free, so I came to the old lady to have a look." ”

"I've heard for a long time that the second aunt is good at counting, and within a few days of taking over the feed, she has already taken care of the house in an orderly manner, where can she not deal with it?"

Mu Yunlan's words were realistic, and there was no compliment at all, Wei was indeed clumsy before.

In the past, she only thought that she could speak and make the old lady happy, but no one thought that she could have such a big study on counting, turning over an account book, and others had not finished playing with an abacus, and she could know how to count after reading it, which can be said to be talented.

Webster smiled bitterly, and there was something in his words: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, in fact, I don't want to be so clear." ”

Mu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and then secretly thought: Account books and the like, naturally the clearer the better, why did she just say that she didn't want to calculate clearly, and besides, her expression was so embarrassed?

"The second aunt has encountered any difficulties, can Yun Lan help?"

"Logically speaking, these things really shouldn't be worried about by you, but now in the house, I can only come and talk to you." Webster looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he dipped water from the teacup and wrote a number on the tabletop mountain.

Mu Yunlan's pupils shrank, and she didn't speak until the water stains on the desktop were dry: "This is?" ”

"The deficit in the house."

"How is this possible?" Compared with those big families, the population of the Mu family is also simple, and Mu Jianyu's status is respected, and he rarely needs gifts and entertainment, and there are many shops, storefronts, and Zhuangzi in the house, not to mention how much money he has accumulated, but at least he should not lose so much silver.

Webster smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't calculated it myself, I wouldn't have believed it." ”

"With such a big hole, doesn't my grandfather even know about it?" Although it is said that the Qi family presides over the feed, at the end of each year, the grandfather and uncle and others also have to check the accounts, and it is impossible not to see such a big deficit.

"The books are very careful, if I wasn't in charge of the feed, and I personally calculated, I wouldn't have found out at all." This is where Webster is embarrassed, the account books and the like are done too carefully, even if she knows the result, she wants to take it out and tell people, this evidence is not easy to find.

Mu Yunlan pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What does the second aunt want to do?" Since she spread the matter out, she must have a plan, but she didn't know what she wanted to do.

"Yun Lan, you and I are in the same boat, at least the goal is the same, isn't it?" Wei Shi looked at her with a smile, her appearance was bright, and she was smiling at this time, and she was a little more colorful than the peony next to her.

"The second aunt also knows that although I am in the Mu family now, the emperor has decreed that my name will be recorded on the family tree of the Lin family, and if I count it carefully, I am no longer the fourth lady of the Mu family."

If you want to cooperate, you naturally have to prioritize, she doesn't mind fighting in the ring with Qi, but she doesn't want to be used as a gun, and who knows if Wei will give her a knife from behind after success.

Wei is also a smart person, and when she heard her say this, he understood her intentions: "What you said is also true, after all, this matter involves a lot of things, and I can't get a good idea for a while, so I can only tell the old lady first, and the big things in the house still have to be decided by the old lady." ”

"What the second aunt said is reasonable." If something like this happened, the two of them really couldn't take it down, so it was best for her to come forward and tell her grandfather, "It's just that the second aunt still has to make sure that the evidence is conclusive, after all, the person involved is the eldest aunt." ”

"It's still Yun Lan's thoughtfulness." Wei Shi smiled and nodded, she had also thought about it before, whether it was the loophole that Qi deliberately left for her, so that she deliberately thought that she had caught her handle, and when she made a fuss, she would be caught off guard again.

Therefore, in the past few days, she threw everything else aside, concentrating on checking the accounts, checking the treasury and the silver taels in the account, and finally determined that there was indeed a deficit of nearly 600,000 taels in the house.

Mu Yunlan looked at the door of the Geng family, and her eyes deepened slightly: "Second aunt likes fishing?" ”

Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, a little confused, didn't he just say how to join forces to bring down Qi, and then he said fishing again: "Although I don't like it very much, I have also played for a while." ”

"Then you know that you can only catch big fish if you put a long line." Qi has been operating in the mansion for many years, and at this time he must have known that Webster had found a loophole in the account books.

Webster's spirit was shocked: "I understand this truth, but what if this big fish breaks free from the hook and runs away?" She also had concerns, for fear that the Qi family would make up for the loophole before she started, so she was so anxious, and after she was sure, she came directly to Mu Yunlan to cooperate.

"If you break free from the hook, won't you still have a fishing net? In such a big place, you can directly catch it in one net, and the big fish and small shrimp will be caught in one net, which will also make the water of this pool of lakes clear. ”

With a loophole of 600,000 taels, even if the Qi family has hands and eyes, it is impossible to get so much silver out of thin air, not to mention, without the support of the Qi family now, it is even more impossible!

Wei Shi was excited, although she was in charge of the feed, but the top and bottom of the house were Qi's people, and she was secretly stumbling over her.

That feeling of being constrained everywhere is really bad, if you can wipe out all her manpower, it would be great, even if she let her use Mu Yunlan as a gun once?

Thinking of this, Wei's attitude towards Mu Yunlan became closer and closer: "Yunlan, although the second aunt is not good at fishing, she still has some strength, what do you say, the second aunt will definitely listen to you." ”

"Then the second aunt should not hide the bait so tightly, she might as well reveal some of it, so that the fish can think of a way."

"Okay."

After chatting with Wei, Mu Yunlan returned to her yard and waited for a long time, only when Qingsleeve came over with tea, she suddenly realized that her grandfather, second brother and Yun Fan no longer lived here.

"I'm really not used to it!"

During this time, there is a grandfather, a second brother, and a younger brother, and they are lively together, you can watch your grandfather teach your younger brother, and you can also watch your grandfather clean up your second brother.

Even if the family sits together to eat and drink tea, they always feel warm in their hearts, but now there are only a few people left, and they suddenly feel cold around.

"It's better to hurry up and finish the matter here and go to find grandpa and second brother." Sighing softly, Mu Yunlan lay down on the bed and thought about Qi's affairs.

A full 600,000 taels of silver!

This is not a small amount, but the eldest aunt alone may not be able to digest so much silver, so where did all this silver go?

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a sudden extra breathing sound in the room, she quickly turned over and sat up, and snorted coldly: "Who?" ”

Yue Jingxuan walked in slowly around the screen, and when she saw her dagger that had been unsheathed, there was a smile in her eyes.

"Uncle Huang!" Mu Yunlan jumped out of bed and ran in front of him in three or two, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that Emperor Lin left with people, and you were left alone in the mansion......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Mu Yunlan happily picked up the conversation: "So, are you here to visit the boudoir at night?" ”

Yue Jingxuan was slightly stunned, and then laughed silently, his voice full of banter: "You can also say that." ”

Only then did Mu Yunlan react to what she had said, and her cheeks turned red suddenly.
