"Go to the storeroom." Mrs. Wu stood up and didn't let Mama Zhao help her.

Mama Zhao's eyes were flustered, and she glanced at Su Zhaoning, but quickly lowered her head. She was afraid of the hatred in her eyes.

This lady either doesn't make a sound, and she bites people really hard!

Mama Zhao's palms were a little sweaty, she had served each other since Mrs. Wu was a girl from the Wu family. Mrs. Wu's temperament, Mama Zhao knows very well.

This master is usually kind and generous, but once his vital interests are touched, he is more ruthless than anyone else.

Madame's trick is too vicious. She stabbed this fake medicinal herb directly to the seventh princess, and Mrs. Wu was reprimanded by the queen herself, how could she not be angry.

Mama Zhao lowered her head and followed Mrs. Wu out of the courtyard, and after secretly paying attention to Su Zhaoning and Mrs. Wu in front of her, she quickly made a gesture with the little maid who was snooping next to her.

The little maid turned around and ran towards Steward Li's yard.

In the medicinal herb room of the warehouse, Mrs. Wu's eyes were firmly locked on the boxes of related medicinal materials.

The lock of the box was opened, revealing the medicinal herbs inside.

The maid took one of the medicinal materials in each box and put it in the tray, and then held it in front of Mrs. Wu together.

Those medicinal materials, indeed, are just like what Su Zhaoning said, each of them is the same as the princess's mansion.

Mrs. Wu's face sank as if it was going to rain on a cloudy day, and she said coldly, "Go and ask Steward Li to come over." ”

Mama Zhao looked at the back of the maid going out, and felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. She believes in her man's ability, but now that the evidence is ironclad, is this good day coming to an end?

Su Zhao stood quietly beside Old Taijun Wu and did not speak again.

Now that Mrs. Wu has intervened in the investigation of this matter, she doesn't need to do anything more. Facts are facts, and they can't be erased.

Steward Li arrived quickly. He was holding a stack of books with white edges on a blue background.

Walking to Mrs. Wu's side, Steward Li was full of chagrin, and knelt down directly with a plop.

"Ancestor, the minion is overlooked, I can't help but trust the minion!" Steward Li held up the book in his hand as he kowtowed.

Mrs. Wu asked, "How do you explain the matter of these medicinal materials?" ”

Steward Li knocked his head on the ground a few times, and then kneeled to Old Taijun Wu's side.

He knelt down and showed the thin man in his hand to Old Taijun Wu: "All the account books of medicinal materials in this warehouse are here. The old ancestor was clear, the slave did not know people clearly, and the new shop he was looking for was actually selling fake medicines. If the slave neglects to supervise, please punish the ancestor. ”

In these three words, Steward Li actually distorted the facts. In his words, the responsibility lies entirely with the herb shop.

"What about the shop?" Mrs. Wu continued to ask.

Steward Li kowtowed solidly when he heard this. He said unabashedly: "When the slave saw the two boxes of medicinal herbs sent out being carried back, he had doubts in his heart. Fang just ordered someone to find the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop, and the slave knew that the other party had already run away! ”

Mama Zhao listened to Steward Li's words, and the panic in her heart finally dissipated.

She knew when today's argument had begun.

Now that her man has successfully started, Mama Zhao will naturally cooperate.

Also fell to the ground with a plop, Mama Zhao kowtowed sincerely, and then said to Mrs. Wu: "It's all the slave's fault." It was the slave and maid who coveted the owl and fell into the position of the shopkeeper of the newly opened Huo family pharmacy, which caused such a big disaster today. ”

When Mrs. Wu heard the "owl" said by Mama Zhao, she had a vague impression. She asked, "Is it the owl that boiled for me to cure my head a few days ago?" ”

Mama Zhao replied, "Yes." ”

She said this. Steward Li took the lead and said, "Ancestor, this is all the fault of the minions. It was the minion's negligence, and it had nothing to do with the Zhao family. It was the slave himself who coveted the cheap medicinal materials of the Zhao family's shop, and blindly wanted to save money for the house, so he fell into the trap of the Zhao family's shop. ”

"It's the slave's fault." Mama Zhao walked to Steward Li's side, wept bitterly and said, "Ancestor, it's all the slave's fault." The slave maid was bent on insisting on boiling owl soup for her ancestors. The owl is really hard to buy, and there is no other place to buy. The slave and maid looked for the Huo family pharmacy and asked the shopkeeper to provide it for a long time. ”

"The shopkeeper is not greedy enough, so he has to let the slave and maid recommend one or two for his other business. It is the ignorance of slaves and maids that has led to today. It was the slave maid who forced Steward Li to change the previous Ping'an Hall and choose this Huo family pharmacy. ”

"It's the minions' fault. Decisions made by the minions themselves. Zhao didn't understand medicinal materials at all, and everything had nothing to do with her. Steward Li glared at Mama Zhao and reprimanded, "I'll speak, don't interject." ”

Mama Zhao hugged Mrs. Wu's feet and cried: "Ancestor, all slaves and maids are stupid, you can send the slaves and maids to the official mansion." Punish your slaves. ”

"You punish the minions!"

Seeing that a greedy ink life was turned into a deep love between husband and wife, Su Zhaoning asked on the side: "I don't know when Mama Zhao stewed this owl soup?" ”

"Just a month ago, the slave got the recipe by chance." Mama Zhao replied with a sob.

As soon as she said this, Steward Li knew that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Su Zhaoning immediately continued to ask: "But in one month, the dozens of boxes of medicinal materials in the medicine warehouse of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion were all used up and replaced with new ones?" ”

Mama Zhao's sobbing stopped, and she glanced at Steward Li in a panic.

Steward Li kowtowed and replied, "It's all the minions' fault." It was the slave who took matters into his own hands and replaced the original medicinal materials. ”

Mama Zhao hurriedly took the sin again: "It's not about Steward Li's business, it's the slave who went to change it herself." The slave contacted the shopkeeper to change it. ”

"It's the minions' fault." Steward Li repeated it heavily. After saying this, he didn't continue to argue, stood up directly, and slammed his head on the table next to him.

With a bang, blood splattered out, and Mama Zhao's cry suddenly became louder.

The whole scene became chaotic.

Mrs. Wu's face also turned from blue to white. Mama Zhao has been with her for so many years after all, and Steward Li is also trusted by her deceased husband. Otherwise, she would not have married Mama Zhao to the other party.

Now the old men in these two mansions want to prove their innocence by death, and it seems that the main family is really harsh.

Mrs. Wu stood up with a chair in her hand and ordered, "Hurry up and ask for a doctor." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Wu forgot Su Zhaoning again, and said to her: "Daughter-in-law, you come with me." ”

Nine times out of ten, today's events will not be traced. Everyone present understood.

And before Mrs. Wu had time to say good or bad things to Su Zhaoning, there was another will in the palace.

Lin Guifei wanted to summon Mrs. Wu.

It stands to reason that the concubine can't directly summon Mrs. Fate.

But the eunuch who passed the message was the father-in-law who had previously resigned for the queen, and the meaning here is self-evident.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly changed into court clothes, and she didn't even have time to tell a word about the situation in the mansion before she entered the palace.

In the palace, Concubine Lin Guifei is indeed the old lady Wu who is waiting in the queen's palace.

Concubine Lin sat on the side, and the queen sat in the front.

After Mrs. Wu saluted, Concubine Lin beckoned the palace maid to hand over a row of brocade boxes. She got straight to the point and said: "The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is noble and noble, and the palace can't afford the courtesy of the Hou Mansion." ”

The palace maid opened the row of brocade boxes, and they were full of pearls.

The origin of these pearls, Wu Lao Taijun knows.

Except for the first box of slightly larger pearls, which was personally prepared by Mrs. Wu for Concubine Lin, the others were all birthday gifts from Nan Huaixin to the seventh princess.

This...... The affection of the seventh princess for her own grandchildren, Wu Lao Taijun knows.

Now that the Seventh Princess has decided to marry the hussar general Chen Tianyang, it is nothing to return these pearls. It's just that this way of returning is so fanfare, and the meaning is obviously not simple.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly knelt down and said, "The courtiers are frightened, and I also ask the concubine to make the courtiers guilty." ”

"What sin can you have?" Lin Guifei chuckled, looked at the queen mother on the throne again, and said, "Niangniang, look at it like this, it seems that our mother and daughter are really the shameless and dead-faced people." ”

"My daughter is in a hurry to go to the front of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and I, as a concubine, am in a hurry to make a feud with Mrs. Wu." Lin Guifei's words were so white and explicit.

The people in the harem have made eighteen turns in their thoughts and words. Speaking so mercilessly is obviously too offended, and I am not ready to make friends in the future.

Old Taijun Wu knew that this problem must be with the eldest grandson Nan Huaixin and the seventh princess.

She was now in the palace and couldn't immediately figure out what was going on.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu knelt in front of the queen and Lin Guifei and pleaded guilty, but begged for a slightly better result in this matter.

Will Lin Guifei give Old Taijun Wu this face?

The seventh princess is her only pearl in the palm of her hand, and Lin Guifei is absolutely going to take this breath for her daughter.

So, Mrs. Wu Lao Taijun knelt in the palace until the sun went down before returning to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.

In the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Steward Li has woken up.

He had a white cloth wrapped around his head, and he was eating the white porridge fed by Mama Zhao herself.

Mama Zhao was scooping porridge and crying: "Why did you do such a desperate job, if something really happened to you, what should my son and I do?" ”

"What if you don't? The master over there is so desperate, can I not be more desperate? "Steward Li is very tired of Mama Zhao's indecisiveness.

He was cruel to himself, and that was because he was even harder to other people.

Steward Li remembered his decision today, and there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. He said: "Today's events are a blessing for Seon to lose his horse. This time, this matter has been revealed, and I can do whatever I want to do with the accounts of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future. ”

"As for the ruthless lady, I must give her a good return." Steward Li's eyes are cloudy and earthy.

Mama Zhao persuaded with trepidation: "Madam is so powerful, you better not mess with her." ”

"She's amazing? This time, in order to move me, she did not hesitate to let the princess, and even the queen and concubine blame the Yuanhou Mansion, who do you think the ancestor will move? Steward Li grabbed the white porcelain cup on the table in his hand, and said in a cold tone, "I'll see what happens to a woman who doesn't abide by women's morals!" ”
