C158

Seeing how Ye Jinsu's expression was unfathomable, Lil 'Red guessed that the young miss had a plan in mind, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Helping Ye Jinsu up, she looked up to the sky and said, "It's getting late. Grandmother should be returning soon as well."

"Let's go to the front to get Grandmother."

Xiao Hong also raised its head to take a look. The sky had darkened and a whole day had passed just like that. Ye Jinsu hadn't eaten anything all day. Xiao Hong was worried that Ye Jinsu's body would have to go to the old lady's after all, causing trouble from the accounting office to Ye Zhenzu. Who would be able to bear the commotion?

"Miss, why don't you eat something first?"

Ye Jinsu shook her head and looked at Xiao Hong, giving it a safe and sound smile. "It's fine. Accompany me to the front door. When grandpa returns, I will personally explain it to him."

Little Red knew that it was impossible for Ye JinSu to go back on her word. It could only sigh and accompany her to the front door.

There was already a butler waiting at the front door.

Ye Jinxiu also joined in. Not long after, a carriage slowly drove towards the Ye residence. That was the old lady's carriage. Ye Jinsu saw the carriage stop, so she stepped forward to help the old lady off.

When the old lady saw that it was Ye Jinsu, she was stunned for a moment before turning around to look at the Old Master in confusion.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Jinsu had a serious expression on her face as she spoke, "Father invites the two elders to come to the courtyard. He has something to discuss with Grandfather."

The Old Master looked at Ye Jinsu in bewilderment. When he saw that Ye Jinsu and the steward were both extremely serious, he realized that something really might have happened. The old man couldn't help but take the old lady with him as they walked towards Ye Zhenzheng's courtyard. "What's the matter?" he asked.

He had not been in the mansion for a whole day, so what had happened in the manor?

As he thought about it, the Old Master looked suspiciously at Ye Jinsu. Was it related to her?

The housekeeper lowered his head and replied, "It's the Grand Master. He embezzled more than a hundred thousand taels of silver from the estate and even made a bunch of false accounts. Master is currently checking the books."

The Old Master stopped abruptly and looked at the butler in shock.

What did he hear?

A hundred thousand silver taels had been taken away by the Grand Master of the Residence?

The Old Master's expression became incredulous. The Grand Master was the person he had personally chosen, so how could he do such a thing?

When the butler saw the Old Master's expression, he could only lower his head and say, "It's true. Master is in the study checking the books."

The steward spoke in a very perceptive manner. Ye Jinsu had a very good expression on her face. The Old Master grew anxious. Presumably, this matter was true, but his heart rose to even higher heights. If it was true, it would bring no harm to the House of Ye!

How could he relax when there was such a big tumor in the House of Ye!

He quickened his pace, and the steward rushed to Ye Song's courtyard. Before the servant could report, the God had already pushed open the door of the study.

Ye Shou jumped in shock. He stood up from the table and saluted the old man, "Greetings, father."

The Old Master swept his gaze across the desk and saw that the books on it were all open, as well as the box beside it. It was filled to the brim with books. The Old Master's expression immediately became unsightly. His Qi and blood caused the Old Master to feel dizzy.

Ye Jinxiu quickly supported him.

"This... "These ?" The Old Master pointed at the books on the table, his lips trembling.

Ye Shisui came over to support the old man with a worried look. "These are true account books. What the old man showed me all these years was a fake account made by him!"

"Because of the age, the amount involved is huge. My son is checking it now."

The old man's chest heaved as he pushed Ye Zizai aside. He personally walked over to the desk and picked up an account book to read. With just one glance, the Old Master's pupils dilated. His hand that was grabbing the account book tightened as he fiercely put it down.

Just last year, the Grand Master had ignored the income of the entire village that was on the outskirts of the Ye residence!

A whole few hundred silver taels!

How audacious!

"Where is he!" The Old Master roared, his voice full of anger. Even Ye Shisui could not help but be intimidated.

"His son took him away and planned how to deal with him when his father returned." Ye Shisui said respectfully.

The old man turned his head and looked at Ye Shisui, seemingly surprised. According to his understanding of his son, Ye Zhenzheng was the most impulsive when it came to matters concerning his son. Why did they actually leave him behind?

Naturally, Ye Shisui didn't say that it was Ye Jinshu who had given the reminder, and Ye Jinsu didn't even mention a word of it.

The Old Master only thought that he had been enlightened.

The most important thing right now was not to dispose of that dog slave, but to think of a way to settle these accounts. It would be best to check if Grand Master had done anything else! If Ye Zhonglou had killed him on the spur of the moment, then there would be no place to interrogate him if anything had gone wrong with the accounts.

At this point in time, Ye Zheng's control over the situation was not bad.

It seemed like he could handle this situation alone. He was only an old man, so he shouldn't interfere.

Since his birth until now, Ye Zheng had been in a hurry to stabilize the country. Naturally, he hadn't encountered any major problems, and successfully inherited his position as a university scholar. However, the situation was not stable. He was worried that Ye Song's impulsive behavior would cause trouble.

Now it seemed that there was no need to worry.

The Old Master's expression eased up, and his look towards Ye Zhang Tie became softer, "Today's matter has been handled well. Although this Master is my man, I will not be biased against him."

"I've found out. Deal with him as he pleases."

Ye Shisui saw the expression on the old man's face and knew that the old man was satisfied with him. He could not help but feel a bit happy.

"Your son will take care of it." Ye Shisui promised.

The Old Master nodded and turned to leave. As he was leaving, he glanced at Ye Jinsu.

Why was she here?

After watching the Old Master leave, Ye Jinsu turned around and saluted and prepared to leave.

Because of Ye Jinsu, Ye Shisui had received the complete trust of the Old Master. Seeing Ye Jinsu's face, which was still covered by a veil, Ye Shisui's expression became slightly better. "With that face of yours, I'll call a doctor to come and take a look for you tomorrow. Go down."

If Ye Jinsu was disgraced, it would be disgraced by him, the Ye Family's face.

Ye Jinsu opened her eyes and stared at Ye Zizai, only to be stunned for a few seconds as she stared at him without moving. A faint light flickered in her eyes. It was like a sudden pleasant surprise, but also like the sadness of being wronged. Ye Jinsu's eyes turned red, and her lips trembled.

"Thank you, Father!" Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and saluted, her voice actually choked.

Ye Zhonglou was stunned. Ye Jinsu's voice entered his ears and disturbed him, making him feel flustered.

Fortunately, Ye Jinsu was the first one to step back, and Ye Zhonglou's expression didn't change much.

Outside the house, in a corner where no one was looking, Ye Jinsu wiped the cold tears from the corners of her eyes.

In the past, she sighed at Ye Jingru's superb acting skills. But now, it seemed that it wasn't too difficult. At least, she could now use it proficiently.
