Chapter 56: Restraint
Reacting, her voice weakened, "IāI'm not idle...... I spend my days in the garden, feeding the fish, feeding the little hamsters, and today I made you ginseng tea. ā
Lu Jiuyuan: "......"
He glanced down at the ginseng tea on the table, and was a little speechless.
"Isn't the ginseng tea I brewed delicious?" Tao Yao asked with a bent eyebrow.
Lu Jiuyuan hesitated and nodded, "Hmm." ā
"Since you think it's delicious, I can make it for you every day." Tao Yao took the opportunity to say, "So Uncle Jiu won't let me look at the account book, okay?" Professional things have to be done by professional people.
I don't know a few words, so if I look at the ledger, I'm going to make a mess. ā
"You can learn ......"
"I can't learn." Tao Yao pouted.
Seeing what Lu Jiuyuan was going to say, she simply stepped forward and hugged his arm and shook it slightly, "Just let Uncle Chen continue to manage the account book."
And he's always been in charge, and he suddenly stopped taking care of it, how sad is he?
He is the old man of our Lu family, and he has always been conscientious and hard working for the Lu family, so we can't chill the old man's heart. ā
What she said, in fact, Lu Jiuyuan didn't listen carefully.
The girl suddenly picked it up, and the soft body brushed against him, and he was stunned, and he was a little unaccustomed, but the hand resting on his lap clenched with restraint.
"Does Uncle Nine think I'm right?" Tao Yao saw that he didn't speak, and asked cautiously.
"Hmm." Lu Jiuyuan answered absentmindedly.
Tao Yao was overjoyed, "So, does Uncle Nine agree with my words?"
Lu Jiuyuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, nodding, "Hmm."
"That'...... I don't have to look at the account book, I let Uncle Chen move back? Tao Yao said tentatively.
Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said lightly: "Whatever you want." ā
Tao Yao was overjoyed, "Uncle Nine, you are really good!" ā
Lu Jiuyuan's gaze paused on her delicate and lovely little face, and then he looked away restrainedly, but his lips were inexplicably dry.
Tao Yao didn't notice his abnormality, let go of his hand and said, "Then I won't bother you to handle official business, I'll go back first." ā
Lu Jiuyuan picked up the ginseng tea on the table, took a sip, heard the words, and nodded, "Okay." ā
Tao Yao went out in a hurry.
Lu Jiuyuan came back to his senses and pressed his fingertips on his eyebrows.
No one has ever been able to sway his mind.
But just now, the girl changed his decision after three days of words......
Thinking of this, he frowned.
After Tao Yao returned to Tingfang Courtyard, he took the maid and sent the account book back to Uncle Chen.
Looking at the account book that was sent back, Uncle Chen looked puzzled, "Madam, this is ......"
"Guogong said that Uncle Chen is an old man in the mansion, and he has always been loyal to the Guogong Mansion and works hard.
So I asked me to send the account book back to Uncle Chen. Tao Yao said sincerely.
When Uncle Chen heard this, he was very frightened, "The old slave has been tormented, and it is the duty of the old slave to do things for the Guogong Mansion." ā
"Chen Bomo should be humble, the huge family business of the Lu Guogong Mansion is all taken care of by you, you have made great contributions, and you are a great contributor to the Lu family." Tao Yao continued.
When Uncle Chen heard this, although he felt frightened, he was very moved in his heart at the same time.
I didn't expect that Mrs. valued him so much......
Thinking about it, he said with a straight face: "Thank you Madame, the old slave will do his best to continue to do things for the Guogong Mansion." ā
"Then it's hard Uncle Chen." Tao Yao said with a smile.
Uncle Chen shook his head, "Old slaves don't work hard. ā
Coming out of Uncle Chen's residence, Tao Yao relaxed and happily walked around the garden.
Sure enough, there is no need to do things, it is so happy.
It seems that she is only suitable for eating, drinking, and wandering around.
Lu Yulan saw her from a distance, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Why is Tao Yao still so relaxed?
She smashed someone's restaurant, didn't Uncle Nine reprimand and punish her?
Thinking of this, she sneered and turned back to the big room.
The next day, Tao Yao went to greet the old lady, and when he arrived, he saw that Fushoutang was full of people.
Seeing her come in, all eyes were on her.
She blinked, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.
There are only a few concubines of the Lin family, and then there are children and nephews.
Even Lu Qingbai was present.
Among the people present, some were worried about her, and some watched the excitement.
Tao Yao saluted the old lady first, and after sitting down, except for Lu Qingbai, those nephews got up to salute her, "I've seen Aunt Jiu." ā
Tao Yao smiled very casually, "No need to be polite, sit down." By the way, what is a good day today, so lively? ā
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, the Lin family on the side couldn't sit still, and said in a strange manner: "Ninth brother and sister, if you do such a bad thing, you can still sleep?" ā
Tao Yaoqi said: "Sister-in-law's words are brainless, what bad things have I done, why can't I sleep?" ā
Lin snorted coldly, "Ninth brother and sister, the shopkeeper of the Zuiyue Building came to the door yesterday, why are you still pretending to be confused here?" If you hurt others, don't you feel bad? ā
Tao Yao paused, it turned out that this was for this matter......
She glanced at Lin's mean face, disgusted in her heart, but said: "Sister-in-law is jealous and hateful, and it's nothing, but you can't listen to the wind or rain, you said that I smashed someone's drunken moon building, but there is evidence?" ā
Lin sneered: "Evidence? The shopkeeper came to the door in person, isn't this evidence? ā
Tao Yao said unhurriedly: "Then I said that I lost something in my room, and I thought that my sister-in-law stole it, and went to ask you in person, will you admit that you stole it and return the thing?" ā
Lin Shi froze for a moment, reacted, and reprimanded: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouths, these are obviously two different things. ā
"I think it's the same thing, my sister-in-law can't impose a crime on me just because she doesn't like me, I won't admit it." Tao Yao said lightly.
Lin's face froze, "What I said is the truth, why did I impose a crime on you?" ā
"Sister-in-law knows it, so I don't need to repeat it, right?" Tao Yao glanced at her, lowered his head and played with his nails.
Her nails are round and full, with a natural pink sheen, and they already look good without dyeing.
Lin saw that everyone looked at him suspiciously because of Tao Yao's specious words, and he was about to die of anger at the moment.
She took a deep breath and said in a generous tone: "Although the ninth brother and sister are still young, since they have done something wrong, they must follow the rules of the Lu family. ā
As she spoke, she looked at the old lady who had not spoken, "Mother, according to the rules, should the ninth brother and sister be punished to the ancestral hall and repent?" ā
When Tao Yao heard this, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak, but looked at the old lady.
She wanted to see what the old lady would do with it.
Will you let it go, or will you be willing to do justice to her?
