Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 253: Mandarin Duck (1)
Wushuang and Qiulan watched them leave, and smiled wisely, they all saw Li's kindness, and there were no troublemakers from the Liu family.Thinking about it, this family will still live happily in the future.

After returning to his yard, Xia Qingge walked directly into the house, followed by Li Gui respectfully.

Xia Qingge sat at the first place and smiled: "Brother Li, take a seat."

"Miss Xie, give me a seat." Li Gui walked to the side seat and sat down before looking up at Xia Qingge.

"I don't know what orders the eldest lady has?"

Xia Qingge was not in a hurry to answer, and glanced outside the door. At this moment, Qiaolan and Wushuang walked in together.

"Qiaolan, pour tea for Brother Li."

"Yes, miss." Qiaolan folded it out again, but after a while, she came in with two cups of brewed tea.

A cup was placed in front of Li Gui, and a cup was placed on the coffee table next to Xia Qingge, before Cai Cai and Qiao Lan silently retreated to the door to guard.

"Brother Li, please drink tea."

Li Gui's attitude towards Xia Qingge was a little unclear, so he took a sip of the tea next to him, then removed the teacup, tightly pursed his lips and wrinkled his face as if he had been burned.

Seeing this, Xia Qingge smiled elegantly: "Brother Li thinks this tea is very hot?"

Li Gui nodded instinctively: "The villain was negligent, and he didn't pay attention to whether the tea is hot, so he accidentally scalded it."

Xia Qingge picked up the teacup and drank it alone, then put the teacup back again: "Actually, it's not that Brother Li was careless, but what I prepared for you is a cup of tea made with boiling hot water, and this cup of mine is Qiaolan brewed it for me in advance."

"Miss—" Li Gui frowned, as if he was a little confused about Xia Qingge's intentions.

"In my heart, Brother Li will always be the brother who stood up to protect me when I was being bullied, so I have always trusted Brother Li as a person." Xia Qingge looked at Li Gui's questioning face and said lightly.

"I have prepared a cup of hot tea for you today. You can't bear to drink it after taking a sip, but sometimes, people's choices are like this cup of hot tea. Some people invite you to drink tea, while others But he forced you to drink tea. Liu Wancai was forced to drink hot tea for ten years, but there was only one result, which must be hot and full of blisters. Now, I am inviting you to drink tea, so you can choose to remain silent .”

Li Gui's face was obviously shocked, he stood up from his seat, and then knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Miss, please punish."

Xia Qingge still kept a slight smile on his face: "Why should I punish you?"

Li Gui paused for a moment, then lowered his head: "The young one knows about Liu Wancai's fraudulent accounts these years, but he has never reported it to the mansion. The loyalty of three generations of ancestors."

Xia Qingge turned his face to the side without showing the slightest surprise, and reached out to play with the empty teacup on the coffee table: "Brother Li must have made a big decision to speak out about this matter today, I just want to Let me ask you one thing, is the master behind Liu Wancai my second uncle?"

Li Gui raised his head to meet Shang Xia Qingge's scrutinizing eyes and shook his head: "I don't know, I know that Liu Wancai has been embezzling grain all these years. It was three years ago when my father was still alive, and he always treated Liu Wancai as a As the most trusted friend in this life, I never thought that he would pour out millions of taels of food in private. The young one also accidentally discovered the clues, but was accidentally bumped into by Liu Wancai. There was a big quarrel, and later he planned to buy the little one, but the little one firmly refused. He wanted to tell his father immediately, but he didn't want to. On that night, two assassins in black broke into the little one. He took the younger one out of Zhuangzi's room and threatened that if the younger one exposes the matter, the whole family will die under the handle of their swords."

Li Gui closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was still a flash of struggle in the blink of an eye: "The little ones thought at the time that they would never easily forgive those who knew their purpose, but they didn't want to, they just shut up the little ones and used the little ones family to threaten, so—"

He didn't continue talking. Xia Qingge already understood the basics. She suspected that Li Gui knew about it, and she had also inadvertently heard it from the servants of Zhuangzi. Check the granary, moreover, he does not visit it occasionally, but when the grain has not been sold, he has to check it every day before dusk. Since he has this habit, how can he not know that there is less grain in the granary? of?
That's why she had an extra thought, planning to come up tonight to try him out, so in the morning, she told Qiaolan that when she came back in the evening, if she and Li Gui talked alone, Qiaolan would bring a cup of boiling water. The tea was given to Li Gui, and then the secret in his heart was drawn out from a cup of tea.

"This matter is reasonable. I have always believed in your character, so I swallowed this matter in my stomach. I have never planned to say it since then. Brother Li, get up." Xia Qingge looked at him calmly. .

Li Gui's eyes were full of gratitude: "Miss Xie is generous."

He stood up and didn't sit down, Xia Qingge chuckled lightly: "Brother Li, don't take it to heart, what I asked you today was just out of curiosity, and your position in charge will definitely not be dismissed because of this. I really believe it, so I have another matter to discuss with you today."

In Shangyanshang, Xia Qingge put it this way, telling Li Gui that there are some things she knows very well but is willing to turn a blind eye to, because of the feelings of these years, let Li Gui remember With her kindness, she also made full plans for her to control the Duke's Mansion in the future.

"Miss, please speak."

"Next year, I plan to plant [-] acres of vegetables on our farm. This kind of vegetables has not been released to the world, so I want to try it first. Brother Li, you are an expert in managing these, so I want to let Brother Li Come and be my steward."

Li Gui immediately nodded and agreed: "Miss is the one who ordered these things? Don't talk about Miss's kindness to Xiao, just say that you are the master of the Duke's Mansion, and Xiao will agree without hesitation."

Xia Qingge laughed lightly and shook his head: "These two hundred acres of fertile land are my private property and have nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion, so I hope Brother Li knows that you are helping me, Xia Qingge, not the young lady of the Xia Mansion. "

"Why does the eldest lady have to distinguish so clearly? No matter who you are, the younger one just remembers your kindness to the younger one." Li Gui asked a little puzzled.

"No! There is a big difference. Brother Li, let me ask you, if one day your loyalty is between me and the Duke's mansion, what should you do?" According to the old lady's calculations for her now, wait When she is full of wings, sooner or later she will tear herself apart with that old woman, and after all, the old woman is the real master of the Duke's Mansion, and the power behind her is not comparable to what she is now, so she is eager to recruit herself people.
