C154

The autumn air felt good.

It had been dark for the past few days, and it was not easy to clear the sky. Ye Jinxiu was flipping through the account books that she wanted to bring over. The dense words on the books made her head hurt. Little Red was pressing down on Ye Jinxiu's head at the right time.

In the silence of the room, there was only the sound of pages being turned, and the cleaning in the yard outside.

The few maidservants outside were discussing something in a low voice, "Have you heard that a master has arrived in the Western Mountain Temple? It is said that the Grandmaster has been embellished by the Buddha.

"I heard about it. Last time, Xiao Yu took a day off, so she went there. It's said that she got some real people to order her!"

"Is it really that godly?"

"Of course, the West Mountain Temple is a good place to ask for marriage. Do you want to go and beg as well?"

"Don't spout nonsense ?"

Ye Jinxiu paused when she flipped to the page, as if she was listening to their conversation. Her voice was deliberately soft, but Ye Jinxiu still heard the gist of it. It was all about that Master who returned to the dust.

In the past few days, the manor had been bustling with discussions about this matter.

When Xiao Hong saw that Ye Jin Su had stopped moving, she immediately coughed and the maidservants outside the window dispersed.

Ye Jinsu closed the account book, looked at the sky outside and suddenly said, "Grandmother seems to have left today."

Little Red nodded, "Yes, the old lady went to the Western Mountain Temple and the Old Master followed her. I'll probably have to go for a whole day and come back at night. "

"Father must be in court now, right?"

Xiao Hong nodded again, "That's right. There have been a lot of things happening in the court these few days. I'm afraid that old master will only be back in the afternoon."

It was still early in the morning, and it would be another four to four hours before Ye Zhenzi returned.

She picked up the account book in her hand that she had been reading for several days and placed it on top of a pile of books. Her tone became much colder and harder, "Tell Tian Liu to move these books up, and also call Mama Li over."

"We'll take care of the servants in the mansion on behalf of father."

He stood up and rushed to the front yard.

Little Red was walking at the front. When she got there, Lady Wang's face turned green. Little Red had been bothering her every day, but since Little Red was one of Ye Jinsu's men, she didn't dare to do anything. He could only show a sullen face, "My dear lady, why are you here again? Didn't I clear up the accounts with you last time?"

In order to deal with Xiao Hong, she spent the whole night making a fake account of all the money Ye Jinsu had made in the past few years.

And now she would come again.

"Aunt, you should have taken the account book as well. Your master should have read it as well. I really did give out quite a bit of money." Old Lady Wang slapped her thigh and cried out that she had been wronged. She was on the verge of rolling twice on the ground.

Ye Jinsu watched from outside the yard.

Xiao Hong's face turned red as it scolded, "You're speaking nonsense. Every time you come, you receive less silver."

When Lady Wang heard this, she almost cried for her parents.

The corner of Ye Jinsu's mouth curled up as she lightly clapped her hands together a few times. She spoke with seemingly ridicule, "What a show. I didn't know that there was such a good play in the mansion."

After saying that, Ye Jinsu lifted her leg and walked in.

Behind him, Tian Liu and Mother Li brought a group of people with them.

Seeing this, old woman Wang panicked a little. She stood up from the ground. "So it turns out that Eldest Miss is here. This servant has come far to welcome you, this servant has come far to welcome you ?"

"I'm fine." He then found a chair and sat down, looking like he wasn't prepared to leave. He slowly asked, "These few months, I feel that the amount of money Little Red receives from you is not right. What do you think is going on?"

The tone of her voice was calm, but it wasn't calm at all when she looked at the scene in front of her.

Old Lady Wang laughed coyly, then kneeled on the ground and said, "Eldest Miss has truly wronged my wife. My wife has been in the family for so many years, everyone knows who I am. I have indeed given you enough money."

"Young Miss, if you don't believe me, you can go through the account books. There are records of all the silver in and out of the mansion."

Xiao Hong couldn't help but step forward and curse loudly, "Then what you mean is that I've lost Miss's money?"

Mrs. Wang was scolded, so she lowered her head and spoke in a low and cautious voice, "This ? I don't know about that. "

"Of course, we all know who your wife Wang is."

Old woman Wang broke out in a cold sweat as she listened to his strange tone.

"In that case, let's check the accounts." Ye Jinsu coldly spoke and shot a look at Tian Six, who was behind her. She then threw the books in front of Lady Wang.

Old Lady Wang looked at the stack of accounts, still keeping her head down, not daring to raise her head, but her words were firm. "Young Miss can do whatever you want. I, Old Lady Wang, have a clear conscience. These accounts are all clearly recorded in my book."

Those dozens of books were all false accounts.

Every single one of them was done cleanly, with not the slightest clue about the current situation.

Ye Jinsu seemed to have expected this answer. Her voice was stern and cold. "Did I say I was going to check these accounts?"

"Tian Liu, bring someone in to investigate!"

The real account book must have been hidden by her.

As long as he was able to find it, he wasn't afraid of being unable to find any mistakes.

As expected, Old Lady Wang immediately panicked. She abruptly straightened her body and saw Tian Liu leading a group of servants into the courtyard. Old Lady Wang was so frightened that she quickly got up and tried to stop him. She nearly shut the door, "Eldest Miss, what are you doing!? Young Miss, your account books are all there, and inside it are the accounts books of all the expenses of the house. Only the people in charge of the house can look at them! "

Her plump body squeezed in front of the door, and several maidservants ran over to push at the door to prevent her from entering. Lady Wang was anxious, but her tone was no longer humble. "Eldest Miss, if you want to investigate, you have to wait for the Old Granny to come back!"

"The old lady is the one in charge of this house!"

Ye Jinsu didn't say anything, so Tian Liu and his men didn't dare to do anything. They were all stopped.

"Old Lady Wang, you misunderstand. I'm not checking other accounts, I'm just checking my own." Ye Jinsu said with a smile. However, that smile did not reach his eyes. His pitch-black eyes were still as cold as ever, causing others to feel some lingering fear.

After calmly drinking a mouthful of tea, Ye Jinsu opened her mouth and said, "Mother Li, lead some people to block the entrance of the courtyard and capture Lady Wang!"

Old Lady Wang's eyes widened. She finally knew that Ye Jinsu was telling the truth.

It just so happened that the old lady had gone out to pay her respects to Buddha, and the old master had gone to court again. If Ye Jinsu could block her off in this courtyard, then she would be able to put on airs and do whatever she wanted to herself!

Don't even think about it!

She definitely could not get her hands on the true account!

Old Lady Wang tilted her head and gave a look to the maidservant beside her, indicating that she should run out and inform the others. It was fine as long as the old lady or the old master came back, or if the couple came earlier.

As long as he could stop Ye Jinsu.

This tiny movement naturally couldn't escape Ye Jinsu's eyes. She stared at the young maid with eyes as sharp as knives, "Grab that young maid."
