Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 37
Perhaps because he drank a little wine, Wei Zijin, who was not sleepy at first, fell asleep very peacefully this time.

In the early morning of the second day, when Shangshu Shen Rui came back from the morning court, Wei Zijin asked Qiaoxiang to report to Shen Rui, telling Shen Rui that he had read the account book, but there were still some things that he didn't understand, and wanted to call everyone in the mansion Go to the main hall to discuss one or two.

Shen Rui didn't expect Wei Zijin to actually have the ability to read the ledger. Although he was a little surprised, he still complied with Wei Zijin's request.In fact, he really wanted to see what skills his wife had that he didn't know about!

After breakfast, everyone was summoned to the main hall, including Shen Rui and Luoyang Wang Xiao Jingyao, several other concubines and the steward Liu.

The third wife Lu Xiyun and the fourth wife Liu Yiyi were both waiting to see Wei Zijin's joke, so they came to the main hall early, stood beside the second wife Lin Xueyao and discussed in a low voice: "Hmph, I don't believe she can see what kind of moth!"

Liu Yiyi also snorted coldly, she hasn't settled the previous debt with Wei Zijin, even if Wei Zijin loses face today, she will never let go of the opportunity to plot against Wei Zijin!
Only the second wife, Lin Xueyao, didn't sneer like Lu Xiyun and Liu Yiyi in a low voice, instead she looked dignified. It wasn't until Lu Xiyun called her a few times that Lin Xueyao came back to her senses. Facing Lu Xiyun's confused eyes, she forced a smile and said: " Since Da Furen is so confident, maybe she won't be sure if she finds out anything!"

After Lin Xueyao said this, the palms of her handkerchief were already wet with sweat.These days, in order not to be watched by someone with a heart, she didn't even dare to go to Butler Liu. Although Butler Liu was reassuring, she still felt that Wei Zijin knew something!
When everyone arrived, Shen Rui, the head of the family, spoke slowly: "Everyone and the prince are here today, so let's talk about what you find out!"

"Before explaining the problem with the ledger, there is one thing I would like to ask you to see..." Wei Zijin winked at Qiaoxiang who was beside him, and Qiaoxiang handed a messy ledger to Shen Rui.

"What is this?" Shen Rui looked down at the messy smears on the ledger, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, this ledger is useless. After my concubine got the permission to check the accounts that day, I kept copying the ledgers in my room at night, but I didn't expect that someone would sneak into my yard at night to destroy those ledgers... ...Fortunately, the concubine kept the original ledger and only left a copy on the table, so the copy was painted as it is now!"

Wei Zijin narrated what happened that night, his tone remained calm as usual, but the faces of Steward Liu and his servants who were present at the scene changed slightly.

Shen Rui also showed surprise, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? There is such a thing? Who is so bold to destroy the ledger?"

Wei Zijin didn't know if Shen Rui had already guessed something, but since he was willing to ask, she didn't have to hide anything, turned her gaze to the butler Liu Zheng, and said slowly: "Then I will ask Butler Liu... ..."

Liu Zheng's heart tightened, and he tried his best to calmly laugh and said, "This old slave doesn't understand Madam's meaning, so how could this old slave know?"

"Butler Liu, does the scent of evening scent smell good?" Wei Zijin asked lightly, Liu Zheng's body trembled, and he lowered his eyes guiltily, not daring to meet Wei Zijin's gaze, he just said falteringly: "Old slave... No... don't know..."
