Chapter 121 Chapter 121: Selfishness
King Rong saw that his daughter still didn't want to call him dad in front of so many people, and his heart was slightly low. He was pulled over by the old man for three days and taught him a lesson, so that he must make good amends to his daughter. And he also realized that even if he didn't want to think about the death of the princess, it was already something that could not be changed after all......
When he saw King Rong looking at him lovingly, the frightened night glass shivered. Ouch, I'm going, do you want to look at her with such terrible eyes? Goosebumps are up, there is wood?
Ye Liuli's words made Aunt Liu's face change, but she couldn't kill her with her eyes. The person who procured the palace was indeed her person, and she also knew that the oil and water that was fished out of it were secretly shared with that person. Is this going to be taken away by this little slut? Also, this thing is obviously done by himself, and no one knows that the person has a relationship with him, how does this little slut know? Aunt Liu suddenly thought of something, and shivered irrepressibly.
When his eyes looked at the night glass again, he was a little jealous. This girl shouldn't have been injured and has the eyes of heaven, right? Otherwise, how would she know her own affairs so clearly? The more I think about it, the more I am afraid. Keep searching in my head, what secrets do I have......
Ye Liucheng looked at Aunt Liu's reaction and knew that she was a thief, and straightforwardly passed on the people specially procured by the palace.
Walking in the door, the man's eyes looked around, and he was shocked when he saw Aunt Liu's pale face, and then knelt on the ground with his head bowed and respectfully: "Slave Cao Qi to the prince, the eldest miss, the second miss, and the third miss, please be safe!" Say hello to Aunt Liu...... "Ye Liuli looked at the person named Cao Qi. He is about 30 years old. The appearance is also Zhou Zheng, if it weren't for the calculation faintly flashing between his eyebrows and eyes, he would still think that this person is an honest person.
"Cao Qi, how many years have you been in the house?" Ye Liuli asked coldly. That Cao Qi's face tightened, and he replied very cautiously: "Miss Hui, it's been about twelve years since the slave came to the house......
"It's been twelve years, it seems to be the old man of the palace!" Ye Liuli said softly, and then looked at Cao Qi: "You have always been a full-time purchaser of things for the palace?" ”
"Yes......" Cao Qi replied cautiously.
Ye Liuli glanced at King Rong, and then looked at Aunt Liu and said: "Recently, Miss Ben has nothing to do with the account books you have procured in the past ten years, and found that there are many confusing places in them, and you just solved the doubts for the masters here today!" ”
When Cao Qi heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his nervous mouth trembled. Aunt Liu looked at Cao Qi's appearance of being a thief, and she was angry. Fiercely slashed Cao Qi with an eye knife. That Cao Qi felt Aunt Liu's terrifying eyes, and the cold sweat on his forehead became even denser.
"Aunt Liu, why are you glaring at Cao Qi so fiercely? Could it be ......" Ye Liuli's words were not finished, but everyone present understood what she meant.
Aunt Liu secretly blamed herself for letting the little see her appearance, and hurriedly gathered her mind and persuaded herself to be natural. Cao Qi would never dare to shake himself out, his heart was a little calm, he raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Liuli lightly: "The eldest lady must have misunderstood, the concubine's body is just an eye discomfort, so she will stare hard to relieve the sourness!" After speaking, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking really hard.
King Rong was cold, and he didn't like Aunt Liu even more. Her various reactions show that this matter is definitely related to her, but she is still acting like this when it comes to the end! frowned, and asked Cao Qi in a deep voice: "Why don't you tell the truth quickly?" If you continue to be obsessed, the king's patience is limited......"
When Cao Qi heard this, he was almost weak. Weigh the hard defense in your heart: "Lord Wang, eldest lady, the slave really doesn't understand what you asked the slave to confess?" Over the years, the servants have been doing their best to procure for the royal palace and conscientiously abide by their duties......"
"Doing your duty?" Ye Liuli sneered and looked at Cao Qi: "It seems that you are ready not to shed tears without seeing the coffin!" After speaking, he smashed all the ledgers on the table on Cao Qi's body: "What kind of green vegetables cost thirty copper plates for one catty?" What kind of chicken only needs 500 copper plates? Ordinary herring and crucian carp cost one or two? And eggs, are the eggs you bought coated with gold? A hundred of them cost five taels of silver! Cao Qi, do you still want me to elaborate on these accounts? You've been messing around with accounts since 10 years ago, and you've been greedy for ink. In the past ten years, you still dare to say that you are loyal to the palace at such a price every day? Do you still dare to say that you are conscientious and abide by your duty? Ye Liuli's last sentence was furious, making Cao Qi's clothes wet from the inside.
"Cao Qi, Miss Ben is really confused! How did the price of three copper plates for ordinary people buy two catties of vegetables become thirty copper plates? When did a healthy old hen become five hundred copper plates for a hundred copper plates? And those bird's nests and so on, how long do you have to hide them? ”
Ye Liuli didn't give Cao Qi a chance to think: "I heard that you bought a house for yourself in a wealthy area in the capital, with a price tag of 30,000 taels. Miss Ben also heard that your son was married, and you spent about 50,000 taels before and after. I don't know where you got all this money? The monthly salary given to you by the palace is no more than three taels, and the total number of days in these twelve years is only four hundred and thirty-two taels, and the reward given to you is not more than five hundred taels. This does not add up to a thousand taels, where did you come up with such a large sum of silver? ”
"The eldest lady is wronged, the slave's house is helped by the mother's relatives in the cheap! The eldest lady didn't know that the maiden family in the cheap was doing business and doing well, and the mother's family couldn't bear to suffer with the slave in the cheap, so they bought a house, and as for the silver that the slave's son married, the slave's daughter-in-law's family couldn't see her daughter suffering, and spent money to save face! Cao Qi shouted wrongedly: "The slave has never deceived Miss!" As for the price of those dishes, the minions didn't know that those people had a mind to extort the money from King Rong's mansion! If they had known this, the minions would never have cooperated with them. Ask the eldest lady to see ...... clearly," after speaking, he kowtowed vigorously to the night glass.
Ye Liuli snorted coldly: "Everything is someone else's fault, and it has nothing to do with you!" You're going to push it all in! Miss Ben is rare, what kind of mother is so selfless, throwing tens of thousands of taels of silver for you to spend as soon as she throws it away? As for your wife's mother-in-law, Miss Ben happened to inquire about something. I heard that they were vegetable sellers twelve years ago, and they got bigger and bigger......"
Before Ye Liuli's words were finished, Cao Qi almost fainted. Such a thing has also been investigated? Is there anything else this eldest lady hasn't found? Cao Qi had a bitter face, almost crying.
"It's a coincidence that the merchants procured by the royal palace have always been your wife's maiden family!" Ye Liuli finished with a light smile: "Is there such a coincidence in this world?" And your son's mother's family is also a coincidence, and it has something to do with our palace procurement! You say, why are they so coincidental? Is Miss Ben too careful? Or is there simply someone who takes the money of the palace and does something against the king? ”
When Cao Qiyi heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. Traitor? If this eldest lady's words are heard by others, will he Cao Qi still have a way to live in the future?
