As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Li immediately led people to charge forward. A few people held on to Lady Wang and forcefully dragged her down.

He was so angry that he almost acted like a master. He raised his eyes and glared at Ye Jinsu, "Eldest Miss, you are not in accordance with the family rules. When the old lady and the old master return, they will ask for Eldest Miss's punishment!"

The meaning behind his words was to threaten Ye Jinxiu and tell her to quickly take her people away.

However, she didn't seem to be affected in the slightest as she unhurriedly looked at the desperate Old Lady Wang. "I know the rules of this mansion better than you. If someone offends you, go against the master."

"Xiao Hong, what should we do according to the rules of the house?"

"Reporting to Miss, it's a slap on the face." Xiao Hong spoke up from behind.

Old Lady Wang's face turned white. Ye Jinsu was serious.

No, she wouldn't dare! Grandma Wang straightened her back. "Eldest Miss, this servant has worked in this house for decades. Even if I didn't do anything, I still have to work hard. If Eldest Miss has any dissatisfaction with this old woman, you can go and sue me."

"Why do you have to do such a thing? You have truly broken the rules of the manor, and now you want people to tell you what a joke it is!"

These words were as if Ye Jinsu was being unruly and unreasonable.

She did not know that this woman was so sharp-tongued. Ye Jinsu could not hold back a smile, "Did you do anything wrong, Mrs. Wang? Naturally, the old granny will come and end the discussion. I only came today to check my own account. If you did not feel guilty, why do you have such a big reaction?"

"I've been in this mansion for decades, and I don't even remember the rules of this place!" As soon as he opened his mouth, his harsh words blocked Lady Wang's path.

Ye Jinsu's face was cold. Since she was the owner of the house and was a slave, she didn't dare to say anything else.

With a cold snort, Ye Jinsu said, "Go in and investigate!"

A group of people immediately rushed in. Tian Liu was originally an honest man, but now he became a lot bolder. Bringing someone to break open the door was not something to be afraid of. Perhaps it was because she had been with Chun Hua for a long time, but she was also a bit bolder in doing things. However, his actions were still steady and meticulous. Tian Liu squinted his eyes and didn't let go of a single corner.

It was obvious that old woman Wang had kept the account book very well, with no inkling of what it looked like on the surface.

The group rummaged through the books for quite a while, but they were still unable to find anything.

Old Lady Wang could not help but open her mouth again. "Miss, look. Your accounts are indeed all here. There isn't any in the room!"

A sharp, ear-piercing voice. She got up and went over to take a look.

Sooner or later, it would be found, hidden in this house no matter how deep it was.

Ye Jinsu looked around and her sight landed on a painting of the God of Fortune on the wall. The incense stick in front of the painting was lit up with incense, as if it had just been there.

Old Lady Wang's face turned pale. Ye Jinsu stared at the portrait.

This portrait was not small. The more Ye Jinsu looked at it, the stranger it became. Suddenly, he walked over and lifted the portrait up.

Behind the portrait was a flat wall without even a crack.

Not here?

Ye Jinsu frowned and took a step back to look around. He lowered his head to look at his feet, then raised his head to look above his head. Overhead were several thick beams and several boards. Ye Jinsu couldn't see the situation from his angle.

Tian Liu obviously noticed this as well. He whispered to Ye Jinxiu, "Miss, there's something wrong with the beam."

When the young maid saw this, she quickly explained, "Young miss, this house has been in disrepair for a long time. The roof leaked from the earlier rain, so it's used to block the rain."

After saying this, the young maid pointed to a corner of the roof where there was a spot of water, confirming that the house had indeed escaped the rain.

The young maid's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. Ye Jinsu narrowed her eyes and sat down, "No worries, Tian Liu, bring someone to check it out."

He was sure that there was something on it.

The color of Old Lady Wang's face faded. Her flustered hands were trembling. She was mumbling something, but her mouth was stuffed shut and no sound came out. Looking around, the people Ye Jinsu brought seemed to fill the entire yard, causing Lady Wang's heart to tighten.

This young miss was usually quiet, but now that she had made such a big move, with so many people in the mansion being her men, she was afraid that they wouldn't be easy to deal with.

At this moment, no matter what she shouted, it was useless. She couldn't break free at all. She could only hope that someone would save her.

Ye Jinsu's gaze swept across the flustered Nanny Wang and fell on the beams within the room.

The board on top of the beam looked quite old, and the young maid said that it was used to block the rain. The rain had leaked only a small area in the corner, leaving a large dry area.

After Tian Liu received Ye Jinsu's order, he immediately led his men out to carry the ladder.

Ye Jinsu sat in the yard and waited quietly. As she watched the young maid and Lady Wang's expressions get uglier and uglier, cold sweat began to drip down her face.

Suddenly, an angry shout came from outside the yard, "What is the Eldest Miss doing?"

Ye Jinxiu turned around. It turned out to be the old master of the mansion. It was obvious that he was shocked to see how big the yard was.

Old Lady Wang felt as if she had been granted an amnesty, and her complexion eased a lot. She opened her eyes wide and asked the Grand Master for help.

Ye Jinsu stared at him and snorted as she put down her teacup, "So it's the Grand Master. Since when did he become such a big person? Since when did he become a member of the Ye Clan?"

"Who do you think you are!"

The words were spoken without mercy.

The face of the teacher turned green and stiffened. He was a bit older than Ye Zhouze, and Ye Zhenzi had always treated him with special respect. When had he ever received such a reprimand? However, the Old Master and Ye Zhenzheng were not in the mansion, and Ye Jinsu was his master, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Forgive me, Eldest Miss. This servant just doesn't understand what Eldest Miss is trying to do by rallying so many people." Grand Master unwillingly pulled down his face and spoke respectfully.

He was actually questioning Ye Jinsu.

Ye Jinsu looked at Tian Liu, who was standing behind the Grand Master. He had already moved the ladder over.

"Of course it's to check the accounts."

With that, he carried the ladder into the house and mounted the roof beams.

The Grand Master's face turned pale, and he couldn't care less as he ordered his servants behind him to go forward to stop them.

"Eldest Miss, your account is clearly here, what are you doing? "When the old master returns, how can you expect us to explain the matter to him?"

The ladder that had just been placed on the shelf was being lowered again. Ye Jinsu frowned, anger in her eyes. "Grand Master is adamant on going against me?"

Grand Master looked neither humble nor haughty as he said with a straight face, "It's the eldest young miss who insists on going against this old man. How can any outsider rummage through this important account?"

Ye Jinsu's face turned cold as a vicious aura rose. With a cold glint in her eyes, she said, "Since that's the case, capture all of these people!"
