Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 24 Audit 5
Hearing this, Liu Zheng looked at Lai Wang, who was always good at coming up with ghostly ideas, and asked with a frown, "Make a fool of yourself? Do you have any good ideas?"

Laiwang smiled treacherously, whispered an idea into Liu Zheng's ear.

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up, he sneered from time to time, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, very good, I'll do as you said!"

After dinner, the butler Liu Zheng asked Laiwang to send the ledger to Lixiangyuan. Wei Zijin ordered Qiaoxiang to accept the ledger. Seeing that Laiwang was still in the yard and had not left for a long time, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

Laiwang glanced around, and there seemed to be something unspeakable. Seeing this, Wei Zijin asked Qiaoxiang to push back the other servants in the yard, and said in a deep voice, "Now there is no one else, just say what you have to say!"

"Ma'am, in fact, Steward Liu didn't want to stop Madam from checking the accounts. It's just that there are a few pages missing in this account book, and I can't find it no matter what. Steward Liu is worried that Madam will misunderstand something because of this..."

"Just because of this?" Wei Zijin raised his eyebrows and looked at Laiwang, who felt guilty for a while, but Laiwang did not forget their plan, nodded and said with a smile: "It's because of this, Mrs. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fill up the accounts!"

"I'll know just by looking at it..." Wei Zijin saw some clues from his dodging eyes, but he didn't point it out. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, you step back!"

After Laiwang retreated, Wei Zijin opened the several ledgers in front of him, carefully searched for the missing places in the middle, and found that there were indeed a few pages missing in one of the ledgers, and there were traces of being torn. Unintentionally, but artificially!

"Madam, that Butler Liu will definitely make things difficult for you on purpose, why don't we tell Master Shangshu..." Qiaoxiang has been dissatisfied with Butler Liu since what happened last time!
"No need!" Wei Zijin asked Qiaoxiang to light the candle, and said quietly while looking at the account book: "Don't think about relying on a man, let alone a man who doesn't love yourself! This is a world of the jungle. It's better to rely on others." Become stronger yourself!"

Qiaoxiang studied ink for Wei Zijin, and when she heard what she said, she looked at her half understanding.I don't know if it's her illusion, since Madam woke up, although she is no longer as hot-tempered as before, her words and deeds clearly reveal unprecedented determination!
The night was unknowingly deep, and although Qiaoxiang's hand was still grinding the ink, she couldn't bear the sleepiness and yawned, and almost splashed the ink a few times.

Wei Zijin was still concentrating on looking at the ledger, occasionally correcting something with a pen, seeing that Qiaoxiang was too sleepy to open his eyes, put down the ledger and said, "Qiaoxiang, if you're sleepy, go and rest first, don't grind ink for me! "

Qiaoxiang heard the words, quickly shook her head and stared wide-eyed to drive away her drowsiness: "That's not okay, madam is not asleep, how can slaves sleep?"

As she spoke, she looked at the thick account book in Wei Zijin's hand, secretly annoyed, if she could also understand the account book, she would be able to help his wife relieve her worries!

But it's strange, why didn't she know that Madam learned to read the ledger? !
"It's getting late, go to bed..." Wei Zijin looked at the sky, put down the pen in his hand, "See you tomorrow!"

Qiaoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, got up to close the window, suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, frowned and said doubtfully: "Ma'am, how come there is a fragrance in the middle of the night?"
