"What? What are they here for? Qu Jia was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

The subordinates were flustered, as if it was the first time they had seen such a big scene, and their words were intermittent.

"What do they say...... Something is wrong with our food ledger, sir...... There was a lot of conflict with those officers and soldiers. ”

Grain? Soldiers?

The combination of these two words made Hotaru Yue involuntarily think of the ledgers that Xu Shuo investigated last night.

"How so? Where are they? Take me there. After listening to this, Qu Jia was also a little panicked.

But she knew that she was now the only backbone of the house, and she couldn't make a mistake, otherwise, she was afraid that her husband would also be dragged down.

Seeing this, Hotaru Moon went and returned.

"Qu Jia, are you alright? Do you want me to come with you? She spoke slowly.

Qu Jia realized that she hadn't left yet, and she was a little relieved because of her actions.

"Thank you."

Holding her hand, Qu Jia had a little more courage, and Firefly returned with her comforting smile, followed behind her, and followed her to find out.

Before he arrived, he saw a lot of officers and soldiers, and the noise was endless, but more of them seemed to be the husband in Qu Jia's mouth.

"Husband!"

Like a butterfly, Qu Jia pounced on the man kneeling on the ground as soon as he entered the door and hugged him tightly.

Yingyue couldn't even see his face clearly, and her eyes slowly fell to Xie Jingyuan and Xu Shuo on the side.

It's really them!

"Why is Madame here?"

When he saw her, Xu Shuo was a little surprised and whispered, and Xie Jingyuan also looked at her.

However, the current scene is obviously not suitable for them to ask their confusion, so they can only wait until they have dealt with the matter.

Connecting the clues in her mind, Yingyue looked at Qu Jia with some shock: "Your husband is the family of the wealthy merchant Wang in the capital?" ”

In this way, everything is smooth.

Tearful eyes slowly looked at Yingyue, Qu Jia nodded lightly, hugged her husband distressedly and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you bring so many officers and soldiers to our house? ”

"Then I have to ask your husband and king, why do you buy a large amount of grain, rice and noodles? And what's going on with the treasury inventory in your mansion? Why can't those grains and rice noodles match the account books, and where are the missing grains, rice and noodles? Xie Jingyuan asked sharply.

When he acts impartially, he has a serious expression, is cautious and stern, and does not allow others to prevaricate.

Frowning slightly, Hotaru looked at Wang Ye.

This person is personable, but it is no different from Qu Jia's description.

"Master Hou, the grass people have already said that the reason for buying a large amount of grain rice and noodles is because the insiders want to open a grain shop, anyway, the grass people don't lack any money, it's just to open a grain shop, just let her open it for fun." Wang also explained nonchalantly.

When Qu Jia heard that this was the case, she hurriedly knelt down and took a step forward and said, "Yes, it was the concubine who wanted to open a grain shop, so she asked her husband for help." ”

This statement is consistent with what Qu Jia said before coming over.

Hotaru didn't say anything, and stood silently to the side and observed.

"Mrs. Yue, I told you before I came, I want to open a grain store." Suddenly thinking of Firefly Yue, Qu Jia looked at her with blank eyes, hoping that she would open her mouth to help say something.

Xie Jingyuan followed her words and looked at Yingyue, his eyes full of inquiry.

Hotaru replied helplessly, "That's right, she did mention this matter to me. ”

But the timing is a bit ingenious.

"What about the missing rice noodles? How do you explain it? ”

Even with an explanation, Xie Jingyuan didn't fully believe it, thinking that it was just Wang Ye's excuse.

Walking in front of Wang Ye, Xie Jingyuan said condescendingly: "What's more, Ben Hou remembers that the Wang family's main business is military supplies such as iron and cloth, why do you suddenly want to meddle in the grain business?" ”

"Master Hou, is it a sin to open a grain store? Anyway, the grass people don't have any illegal behavior, if the Hou Ye doesn't want to believe it, then you can search the grass people's mansion to ensure that there will be no problems. The king also straightened his back and swore solemnly.

Seeing him like this, Xie Jingyuan knew that he had already prepared everything.

Qu Jia, who was worried about Wang Ye, also knelt forward, raised his right hand and swore poisonously: "Master Hou, the concubine swears that there will be no problem with the husband, if not, the concubine will be better off than dead." ”

"Don't say it too soon." Xie Jingyuan took a deep look at Wang Ye behind her.

Qu Jia knelt in front of her, her thin body was distressing.

"The grass people also said it, and if the Hou Ye doesn't believe it, he will check it." Wang also insisted, and there was a stalemate for a while.

"Lady Moon." Kneeling and moving in front of Yingyue, Qu Jia's little face was about to cry, and she said worriedly: "Mrs. Yue, you help, say a good word, let Hou Ye let my husband go, my husband really didn't do anything bad." ”

Frightened, Firefly Yue took a step back and prepared to avoid it, but she was still slow, and Qu Jia grabbed the corner of her clothes and knelt down.

Xie Jingyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Gently tugged at the clothes and tried to pull the corners back, but she grabbed them tightly, and Hotaru Yue had no choice but to say helplessly: "Qu Jia, it's not that I don't help you, it's just that I came here today as a guest, and I only plan to do business." Not to mention that even in the Hou Mansion, everything is up to the little Hou Ye, and I don't have the right to speak at all. ”

"Yes...... But you can at least say the last thing in front of him. Qu Jia suppressed her trembling and begged helplessly.

Taking a deep breath, Hotaru Yue pulled the corner of her clothes out of her hand with all her strength, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "According to what you said, even if I am in charge of the Hou Mansion, now that I am out of the Hou Mansion, my words will not be counted." What's more, the little marquis is here as a squire of the military department, and I have no right to intervene in his official business. ”

Qu Jia, who was no longer able to support her, sat on the ground in embarrassment, covered her face and cried bitterly, and Wang Ye immediately took her in his arms and comforted her softly.

"Forget it, if you don't help, you won't help, I'm sitting upright, I'm not afraid of them checking at all, and Jia'er is not afraid." Wang also snorted and glared at Hotaru Yue.

Yingyue looked back at Wang Ye with slight dissatisfaction, but she didn't notice that Xie Jingyuan's eyes on the side gradually turned into appreciation when she looked at her.

"Why don't you say anything, don't explain anything, Ben Hou really has no choice?" Xie Jingyuan saw that he was still unwilling to confess, and looked at Xu Shuo.

Immediately understood what Xie Jingyuan meant, Xu Shuo slowly walked towards Wang Ye.

Before the king could speak, Qu Jiaxian cried nervously, "What are you going to do to my husband?" ”

When the two sides were at a stalemate, the officers and soldiers outside the mansion reported loudly: "Master Hou, the military department is still here-"
