Chapter 85: The Wei Family's Accident
Bai Jinghao was too transparent in the mansion in the past, and when she suddenly took power, she couldn't rush to clean them up with thunderous means, so she had to respect these senior stewards first.
The power of the family that she finally obtained, she will not lose it easily.
Unexpectedly, Yan Niangzi and others did not hold it up, and they were very cooperative in reporting and responding, and the etiquette was also thorough.
For a while, even if Bai Jing wanted to embarrass them, she couldn't find a mistake.
But the enthusiasm she showed made Yan Niangzi look sideways, secretly saying that she had such a calm mind at a young age.
There were many trivial things in the account books and the housekeepers in the house, and by the time they left, it was almost noon.
Bai Jing had a simple lunch before going to Hanyu Hall to say goodbye.
The old lady knew that everything was going well with her, and her face was full of relief.
When I returned, the stewards of the other farms were already standing in the courtyard.
On a cold day, Bai Jinghao blamed the mother who received a few words, and hurriedly invited them into the hall.
The Bai family operates a lot of industries, including silk and satin, restaurants and inns, and private farm leases, and she listened carefully. As for the handwriting of the account books presented, the handwriting is slightly new, and Bai Jing is not broken, and he has a harmonious scene of benevolence and subordination.
When they dispersed, Bai Jinghao propped her chin and crunched down in front of the table full of account books, her face distressed.
When Nuan Yue came in to add tea, she saw her like this, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't be nervous, these have already been in place, how they were in the past, and how they will be in the future." The old lady told you to be in charge of the house, and she didn't really want you to understand everything clearly, as long as you took care of the affairs of the house, so as not to let those maids and women take advantage of the loopholes when they saw that no one was in charge. ”
Of course, Bai Jinghao knew that the old lady didn't really let her take care of the accounts of the Bai family's property, and they came over today just to take a scene, in fact, she didn't have that much power to control the assets outside the Bai Mansion.
It would be nice if she could keep the mansion in order and keep the accounts clear.
Nuan Yue's meaning is direct, so she doesn't have to take it too seriously.
Bai Jinghao nodded, the surface was light, but the heart was heavy. can only be in the palm of his hand, and in the final analysis, it is still limited to this back house.
After a while, Qiao's mother came back from going out, and Bai Jinghao asked in surprise: "Mom went to deliver books, why did she go for so long?" ”
Qiao's mother ate two cups of tea in a row when she entered the house, as if she was thirsty, and only replied after a while: "There was an accident in the Chengguo Mansion, and the slave waited until the time to see the county lord." After sending the book and saying your words, Miss, I didn't hurry back. ”
Wei Li has always attached great importance to the people of the Bai family, and the last time there was an incident in the princess's mansion, she sent Qiao's mother over, and Wei Li quickly met and helped to search.
Bai Jinghao's face tightened, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiao's mother lowered her voice and replied: "The second lady of the Guogong Mansion hanged herself, and there was a mess in the Wei Mansion, how could those housekeepers still have the heart to pass for me, it didn't take a long time to see the county lord." ”
Bai Jinghao exclaimed: "Second Miss Wei Yi? ”
She had seen the two young ladies in the Wei family's room, and when she went to the princess's mansion to attend the birthday banquet of the lord of Qinglong County, she was still the one they received at the door.
Bai Jinghao had some impressions of her, "Did that person save him?" ”
"I should have been saved, but fortunately, I found it early."
Qiao's mother leaned closer and whispered: "When I was waiting at the next side's house, I heard the Wei family's subordinates muttering, saying that Miss Wei Er cut her wrist with a dagger at night, and it was thanks to the clever maid in her room, and she found out before dawn, which was not very early in the morning." ”
Wei Yi is only fifteen, such a bright and beautiful girl, Bai Jing really can't figure it out.
"Trouble? Why did she seek death? ”
"The Wei family's house is seeking justice from Grandpa Guo, it seems that Miss Wei Er is dissatisfied with the marriage with the Cheng family, but the marriage is Princess Heshun's decision, and Changfang has to accept it. Who knew that the second lady couldn't think about it last night, so she looked for a short view, and now the Wei Mansion is not very peaceful. ”
Qiao's mother poured herself another cup of tea and sighed: "The county lord's face is not good, and the slave maid has not stayed long when she saw her crying." ”
Bai Jing understood Wei Li's mood a little, she was originally dissatisfied with Cheng Qinian's murder, but now that she has affected her cousin's thinking, she is naturally even more angry.
I was touched for a while, and I was about to sigh twice, but suddenly I wondered: "The Wei Mansion didn't hide this?" Why did you listen to it? ”
Qiao's mother shook her head, "I can't hide it, Miss Du went to the Guogong Mansion yesterday to find the county lord, and the two girls were happy, so Miss Du stayed in the county lord's courtyard." What's more, the Cheng family was going to come to the door as a guest today, but they were about to bump into the people in the house who invited the imperial doctor, and the dispute between them, where can they hide it? ”
"Du Ruoli is in the Wei family?"
Such a scandal has been made in the prince's mansion and has become a laughing stock, and this matter cannot be easily exposed.
What's more, listening to Wei Li, Fang Yuan, the head of the Wei family, was not happy about the marriage, and he agreed to it because of the majesty of Princess Heshun.
Why did Princess Heshun do that, didn't she still want to appease the Cheng family?
If the Cheng family is not appeased, the death of Miss Cheng will not be quelled. But now, Miss Wei Er fought to the death, and she happened to be bumped into by the Cheng family, so she couldn't press it.
Bai Jinghao couldn't sit still, walked back and forth a few steps, and wanted to go out.
Qiao's mother hurriedly grabbed her, "Miss, you can't go at this time." ”
Whether it is the Wei family or the Cheng family, they are inevitably willing to be questioned.
"If something like this happens, the county lord must blame himself."
Bai Jinghao understands Wei Li's temperament, she will definitely blame herself for not knowing what she did in the first place, and she is even more guilty of not seeking justice for Cheng Qinian.
