The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 38 Don't come to drag me down
Jing Shu went back to Qingfengyuan and changed her clothes, then went outside with the ledger.

Li Ling asked, "It's so late, you still want to watch?"

Jing Shu put the ledger on the small table on the outer couch, and replied, "I'll see."

Li Ling stepped forward and persuaded with a bit of flattery: "It's dark at night, be careful not to hurt your eyes, and watch it tomorrow."

Jing Shu stared at the ledger, and replied without raising her head: "It's okay, I'll just ask Ziyun to add a lamp later."

Li Ling said again: "There is no rush for these things, you just take your time as the head of the house, why bother."

Li Ling has always been a quiet talker, but these days he has become extremely chatty.

Jingshu raised her head and interrupted him impatiently: "Master, go to bed first, I am busy, don't bother me here."

Seeing Li Ling still not moving, Jing Shu couldn't help but said, "Grandmother and sister-in-law will enter the palace in the future. If you need to take something with you, why don't you let them take it for you, it's better than you thinking about it all day long."

Her tone was calm, but there was something strange in Li Ling's ears.

Li Ling didn't answer, but replied flatly, "Then I'll go to sleep first."

Jing Shu glanced at the background where he left, snorted coldly, looked away, and looked at the ledger again intently.

The accounts in this mansion were originally managed by the second aunt Guo's, and the accounts were impeccable on the surface, but after careful consideration, one could see the tricks inside.

For example, there is a large amount of incense expenses in the annual variable expenditure, and the money spent on this is more than 2000 taels a year. There is no need for such money.

Among the female relatives in the mansion, only Mrs. Guo is the only one who cares about the Buddha, so it can be seen that a large part of the money has gone into her pocket.

For another example, the food expenses of each house in the mansion also have a head, let's take their Qingfengyuan as an example, the account is 200 taels of silver per month.

Not to mention that there are only Li Ling and her two masters in their courtyard, even if all the servants and servants add up and eat according to the master's recipes, it will not take so much.

There are many such fake accounts, and Jing Shu copied all the problematic accounts while reading them.

The Guo family has been in charge of the family for many years, although the old lady has not completely let go, but Jing Shuguang can see from the accounts that the Guo family has been greedy for no less than ten thousand taels of silver over the years.

Moreover, Guo's confidantes are also quite a few in all the places in the mansion that can earn money.

Let's take the item of dishes in each house as an example. If the steward of purchasing in the mansion hadn't colluded with Mrs. Guo, how could the expenses and accounts match up.

With Guo's temperament, being suddenly seized by the old lady, she must hold a grudge against her. She has been in charge of the family for many years and has accumulated many confidantes. If she gets in the way, then she will naturally suffer.

This is what Jingshu is most worried about.

Jing Shu poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and thought for herself.

Soldiers come to block, water comes and soil floods.

For Guo's open and dark arrows, it is enough to be on guard in my heart, Jing Shu thought for herself, gradually suppressed the worries in her heart, and looked at the account book seriously again.

She was watching intently, when suddenly her eyes darkened, and the candles on the table were extinguished.

Jing Shu looked up.

It's Li Ling again!

"What time is it, go to sleep quickly." He said to Jing Shu as if ordering.

"I'm not sleepy yet, I have to watch it again." Saying that, Jing Shu picked up the torch and lit the candle again.

Li Ling stood on the ground, staring fixedly at this stubborn little wife with helplessness on his face.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Jingshu pouted impatiently and said, "Go to sleep, don't bother me all the time, I want more."

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Ling hugged her from the couch.

Jing Shu struggled and called out, "What are you doing?"

Li Ling said with a cold face, "Go to sleep! Look at your eyes, you've turned into a rabbit."

Jing Shu broke free and muttered: "You are the rabbit." After that, she stared at Li Ling with her bloodshot apricot eyes, and said displeasedly: "I'm just in charge of the house, and I have a lot of things to do. Why don't you think about me."

The little wife pouted, with a displeased expression on her face, as if he had delayed her winning the first prize in the examination and affected her bright future.

Li Ling looked at her and said patiently, "It's already very late."

Jing Shu ignored it, turned around and ran to the pile of ledgers, but before she could sit still, Li Ling picked her up again.

"I can't control you anymore, can I?" Li Ling said with a sullen face.

This time he didn't hold her by the waist, but clamped her under his arm.

He is tall, holding her slender, it is really as easy as carrying a rabbit.

There is no place for the front and back, this position is very uncomfortable.Jingshu waved her arms and legs vigorously, shouting, "Li Ling, what are you doing? Li Ling, let me go!"

She struggled so much that one shoe was thrown far away, but she couldn't break free from his restraint.

Li Ling threw her on the brocade quilt on the bed, raised his hand and pulled off the other shoe from her foot and threw it on the ground. stay up."

Jing Shu raised her head unconvinced, and wanted to argue with him, but saw Li Ling's cold face in a haze, and swallowed back the words she hadn't said yet.

She lifted the quilt angrily, got into the bed, and muttered in her mouth: "You know how to hold me back."

Seeing that she was finally obedient, Li Ling also lifted his legs onto the bed, got into the bed, and lay down on his back.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, the little wife beside him turned around with a "huh", stared at him with round eyes like a rabbit and said, "If I can't handle this family well, I will blame you all, you are the one who dragged me down."

Li Ling turned his head to the side, and replied: "Heading a house is a long-term job, who made you do it so recklessly."

Jing Shu argued: "How can this be reckless? I'm just starting out, so naturally I have a lot to learn and do, so it's normal to be busy."

Li Ling didn't want to argue with her, so he turned his head sideways, closed his eyes, and just replied, "Anyway, you are not allowed to stay up late."

Jingshu replied in a cold voice: "Don't worry about it!"

Li Ling opened his eyes, turned his head to her side, and said to her: "If you continue to be disobedient, I will ask grandma to take back your right to head the house."

Jing Shu sneered and said: "Grandmother has ordered me to be in charge of the house, how can I take it back because of your unreasonable troubles?"

Li Ling said: "I have my own way."

"Cut!" Jing Shu snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Seeing that she was still unconvinced, Li Ling raised his head and whispered in her ear, "I want to tell grandma that we are preparing for pregnancy. You are too weak to work hard. What do you think grandma will do?"

The old lady naturally puts her children first!

Jing Shu's heart suddenly became cold, and her momentum immediately weakened. She looked at Li Ling and said with a lack of confidence: "How dare you——"

Li Lingfu lay back down again, imitating her and snorting coldly: "If you don't obey anymore, try."

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling.

This guy really doesn't look like he's joking.

She was silent.

Seeing that Li Ling remained silent, Jing Shu tucked up the quilt for him, and said to him gently: "It's really getting late, go to sleep, husband——"

　Jing Shu: Li Ling, you are delaying me so much, you are delaying my bright future, you know?
　　Li Ling: If you treat me sincerely, you will naturally have a good future.

　　Jing Shu: Cut!
