Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 122 Disposing of Dog Minions

When I came to the gate of Songshoutang, I saw Zicuckoo coming from a distance.

After seeing Xie Wanqing, she said: "It just so happens that the old lady invited the young lady into the house."

It seems that grandma has already figured out that she will come here early in the morning. Judging from yesterday's appearance, grandma doesn't seem to care about the account book. Now she only hopes that the deduction in the backyard will work.

Walking into the inner hall, Xie Wanqing hurriedly saluted Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie looked kindly, and asked: "It's early tonight."

"Greetings to grandma, I wish you good health and success in everything." Xie Wanqing said with a smile.

"Come and sit next to grandma in the evening, look at the sweet little mouth, as if rubbed with honey." Mrs. Xie smiled all over her face.

Xie Wanqing walked to Madam Xie and sat down.

Mrs. Xie grabbed Xie Wanqing's little hand, but frowned and said, "Why is the little hand so cold?"

"Um... Wan'er was negligent. I was walking around last night. I was a little bit cold, so my hands and feet were cold." Xie Wanqing mentioned what happened last night intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly looked at Mrs. Xie's face look.

"Didn't go back to the yard directly after leaving me last night, did you go out later?" Madam Xie asked.

"Back to grandma, when Lingshu and I walked back last night, it was completely dark, and somehow we wandered to the back garden. Fortunately, a guard escorted us back to the yard, otherwise we would have to suffer at night." It's cold." Xie Wanqing pouted her mouth and acted like a baby, I really felt sorry for her.

Mrs. Xie patted Xie Wanqing's shoulder to comfort her: "Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise grandma would be worried to death, and so are your servants. They can't recognize the way at such a point, so they should be disciplined. .”

"Grandmother loves her grandson, and Wan'er knows it in her heart, but she can't blame the servants for this matter. Wan'er has always walked in front, and the servants followed behind, but she didn't expect to get lost, but fortunately, Wan'er unexpectedly I came across a big secret." Xie Wanqing smiled triumphantly.

"Oh? The big secret?" Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but she frowned and said, "When is the tea, it's so cold!"

Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty: "Damn it, I forgot to change the hot tea. The old lady made atonement."

"Then why don't you hurry up and pour a bowl for Wan'er too." Mrs. Xie narrowed her long and narrow eyes.

Zijuan quickly took the teacup to the back hall, Xie Wanqing sat and watched calmly, but she didn't know why her grandmother suddenly changed the topic.

"Hmph, these slaves, you are so kind to them, you even forgot the most basic rules and regulations." Mrs. Xie muttered in a deep voice, sticking her cane.

Xie Wanqing quickly stood up and said: "Grandmother, don't get angry, sister Zijuan was also negligent for a while, I believe she dare not have a next time."

"Your servant deserves to die. Please punish me now. Don't be angry, old lady. If there is something wrong with you, how can you tell your servant how to live?" Zijuan has always been a clever girl. , Hastily knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Remember, there is no rule without rules, you know how to punish yourself, so go ahead." Mrs. Xie was not relentless at all.

With tears in Zijuan's watery eyes, she thanked the old lady and got up and left from the main entrance, presumably to be punished.

Xie Wanqing thought to herself, Grandmother wanted to tell herself that without rules, there is no such thing as a circle. If you make a mistake, you will be punished no matter what your status is, even if you are a celebrity who lives next to you.

Did she mean allusion to those poor people in the backyard?

Thinking of this, there are two black holes hanging on a dry face with long gray hair. The black liquid is still flowing out of the black holes, and the dry hands are constantly waving in the air.

Thinking of this, Xie Wanqing's back tightened, and she was sweating profusely.

Who on earth can hit such a heavy hand and torture a person to such an extent, it is vicious in comparison, but even if it is vicious, it is too vicious.

"Wan'er? Come to Grandma's side." Mrs. Xie patted the seat next to her.

Xie Wanqing didn't dare to overstep, she quickly stood up and said, "Wan'er thanked grandma, but she doesn't understand the rules all the time, and I'm afraid that others will see the joke."

"My Waner is the daughter of the Xie family and the future princess. Does my wife want to pamper her own granddaughter and someone dares to make irresponsible remarks?" Mrs. Xie's long and narrow eyes half-closed, and her eyes became more and more serious. Danger.

"Grandmother calm down, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. It's just that Wan'er feels that if she enters the palace in the future, there will be more rules than rules. If Wan'er doesn't learn more from time to time, then there will be no more love from grandmother and father when she gets there. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer." Xie Wanqing blinked her eyes, her mind was running fast, trying to figure out the meaning of her grandmother's words.

Could it be that grandma wanted to use Zicuckoo's wrongdoing to allude to the backyard?Should those who made mistakes be punished?Or maybe?

"Grandmother, Wan'er checked the account books of the mansion yesterday, and saw the accounts of the back garden. There was actually 500 taels of silver allocated to the Bugui Pavilion every month, which was comparable to the monthly expenses of Wan'er's courtyard. I think grandma is also compassionate. "Xie Wanqing smiled sweetly and brought the topic to the back garden.

"Although the backyard is full of slaves and aunts who have made mistakes, they are still people from our Xie family. If they don't treat them badly, it can be regarded as a meritorious deed for our Xie family." Mrs. Xie looked kind and kind.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "But I never thought that someone would take grandma's kindness as a way to get rich and openly embezzle it. If I hadn't talked about it with my grandma today, I'm afraid my grandma would still be in the dark and not know about it. .”

"Why did Wan'er say that? What happened in the backyard?" Madam Xie was a little suspicious, staring at Xie Wanqing's eyes, those sharp eyes seemed to see through Xie Wanqing.

"Grandmother doesn't know. The account shows 500 taels, but they actually eat bad food, wear shabby clothes, and live worse than slaves. It's horrible. These are late I saw it with my own eyes last night!" Xie Wanqing did not hesitate to tell what she saw and heard last night, carefully observing the subtle changes on Madam Xie's face.

"Is this really the case?" Mrs. Xie swung her cane.

"It's absolutely true!" Xie Wanqing agreed bluntly.

Mrs. Xie's complexion became ugly, she shouted angrily: "Han Yan, Cui Liu, go and call the accountant and the butler of the backyard!"

Han Yan and Cui Liu hurriedly responded and hurried forward to pass on the message.

Not long after, the husband and the housekeeper from the back garden came to Songshou Hall together. The two of them saw Xie Wanqing was there, and they were trembling when they saw the ceremony. They obviously guessed the consequences of this trip.

"Tell me! How much is the monthly share of the back garden!" Mrs. Xie asked sharply.

"Back... back to the old lady, five... 500 taels." The accountant replied with a trembling voice.

"Tell me, how much silver taels do you receive every month?" Mrs. Xie asked the housekeeper again.

The housekeeper in the backyard obviously had some ghosts in his heart, he fell to his knees and said, "Back to the old lady, you can get 20 taels a month."

"Then what about the remaining 480 taels?" Mrs. Xie's eyes became sharper and sharper, making people feel a little trembling unconsciously.

The accountant's head was covered with sweat, and it seemed that his heart's ability to bear it had almost reached its limit.

Xie Wanqing pressed again, "Did you embezzle the 480 taels of silver?"

"Slaves...slaves dare not..." Mr. Accountant hurriedly shouted dare not.

"If it wasn't for you to embezzle money, who else could it be?" Xie Wanqing asked sharply. Before that, Liu Yuejiao had been in charge of managing and checking the accounts. This matter must have something to do with her. Xie Wanqing deliberately Take this matter and talk about it.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie was in charge of the account, and said angrily: "Come here, pull this dog slave down and torture him carefully, if you don't believe that he won't recruit! Anyone who spits out of his mouth will be dealt with severely!"

After the old lady spoke, a servant immediately stepped forward and dragged the accountant out.

He dragged it all the way to the yard and could still hear his voice shouting for injustice, until the voice got farther and farther away.

Just when the housekeeper in the backyard thought she was fine, Xie Wanqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Housekeeper, don't be in a hurry to be happy. Let me ask you, can you eat rotten food and stinky vegetables for 20 taels of silver?"

"Big... big... Go back to Missy, this servant... doesn't know about it." When the housekeeper heard Xie Wanqing mention this matter, he was so frightened that his body trembled like chaff, presumably there must be a ghost in his heart.

"Grandmother, I think there are quite a few people involved in this matter, why don't we also bring them down for interrogation." Xie Wanqing saw that her grandmother seemed to have concerns, so she followed her grandmother's example and asked people to torture directly. As for the answer that was handed back What it is, as long as grandma is satisfied, she has no objection.

"That's all..." Mrs. Xie waved her hand, then leaned back on the chair and said nothing.

Seeing that her grandmother seemed tired, Xie Wanqing was about to say hello and leave when she heard a servant announce that the master had arrived.

"Wan'er pays my respects to my father, I wish my father good health and success every day." Xie Wanqing obediently blessed her.

"Let's get down late, Wan'er." Turning his head to Mrs. Xie, he said, "My son greets mother, how is your health?" Xie Chongguang smiled all over his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Mrs. Xie supported her forehead and said: "You are in good health, but you are a bit tired after talking for a while."

"Then son help mother go back to the house to rest." Xie Chongguang walked to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie nodded and followed her son.

Xie Wanqing continued: "Grandmother has a good rest, Wan'er will leave first."

As soon as he walked out of the inner hall, he met his elder brother Xie Zi'an. He saw Xie Wanqing hurriedly walked over and whispered in her ear: "In three days, let's go hunting in the paddock together. You can clean it up."

"Who will go?" Xie Wanqing was a little surprised, why did my brother bring her with him when he was hunting.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xie Zian blinked mysteriously.

Looking at the back of Xie Zi'an going away, Xie Wanqing thought about the hunting in her heart. It seemed that her brother had finally figured it out, and her mood immediately became particularly good when she thought of this.
