Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 256
Ye Lingwu frowned, secretly slandering these three old tricksters who used to find reasons to push back everything, but now they are active.

"Thank you, the three stewards. I just want to ask you something before looking at the account books."

The three stewards looked at each other.

Li Zhengdao: "Miss, please."

Ye Lingwu took a sip from her tea bowl and said, "The three stewards have been in Ziluobuzhuang for many years, and no one inside or outside of this clothzhuang knows better than you. I don't know, and I have to rely on the three stewards to give some pointers."

Li Zhengdao: "This... this... the big girl is serious. We are just rough people. If you want to know anything, just ask. We will know everything and talk about it."

"In that case, I won't beat around the bush anymore." Ye Lingwu said with a smile, "I was very curious when I came here before. Ziluobu Village has achieved such a big business today. The three managers besides my father affirmed A lot of effort."

The three stewards laughed and said modest words.

Ye Lingwu continued: "But I heard yesterday that the goods pressed in the warehouse were not delivered until the next month. It stands to reason that the goods were not handed over due to an accident at the seller's side, so the goods can be sold off." In order to change the money, it’s better to make up some, not to mention that the Ye Mansion experienced a catastrophe during that time and needed money even more, but the father and the three stewards would rather accumulate the goods than sell them, what’s the reason?"

Li Zheng immediately said: "This is none of our business, girl, we are following the master's orders, and we dare not ask too much about the reasons."

Ye Lingwu said: "Don't dare to ask too much, that is to know a thing or two, why don't you talk to me about it, Uncle Li?"

The corners of Li Zheng's mouth froze, thinking that Ye Lingwu was going to fight with the eldest lady, and it's okay to say it, so he replied: "This matter is still the eldest lady's idea."

Ye Lingwu said: "The eldest lady only cares about the inner house, how can this matter have anything to do with her?"

Li Zheng looked solemnly, and said: "Of course it has something to do with it. Last year, the eldest lady's younger brother came to manage the cloth village, and the Ziluobu village almost went bankrupt because of him! Don't you know anything about it, the eldest lady?"

Ye Lingwu didn't know, because Ye Huaicheng didn't hesitate to beg for help for this matter, and she owed Shen Zhan a favor for this matter, and she still hasn't paid it back.

Her eyes darkened, and she thought to herself: "Uncle Li, if you have something to say, just say it, obviously I was the one who asked you, but you still asked."

"Yes, yes, what the eldest girl said is true, so I'll just say it straight." Li Zheng said, "After the accident of the younger brother of the eldest lady last year, the Ye family also suffered, and the Liu family who gave birth to it was a disaster, and they came to the house every day to make trouble. Why, there is only one single seedling in the Liu family, and the trouble caused the eldest lady to have a miscarriage!"

Ye Lingwu was surprised. Hearing what he said, she remembered that she had heard Liu Yuping talk about her pregnancy in the capital, but she didn't inquire about it when she came back. She thought she was pregnant, but it turned out to be a miscarriage.

Li Zheng sighed heavily, and continued: "The miscarriage of the eldest lady made the lord feel distressed. She didn't come to Ziluobuzhuang for half a month to settle accounts, and even shut down several clothing workshops under the name of Buzhuang. The transfer has been made under her name. That's it. Originally, those accumulated second-hand goods could be sold cheaply through these tailor shops, but the eldest lady refused to do so. The fabrics sent by Ziluobuzhuang had to be returned if they were even worse. Don’t talk about selling the goods in the warehouse.”

Ye Lingwu's face darkened, and she said, "Where's father? Father didn't say a word?"

Li Zheng sighed again, waved his hands and said nothing, the second steward replied: "The lord loves the eldest lady so much, how dare you say anything."

The more Ye Lingwu listened, the more something was wrong, and suddenly realized that what Ye Huaisheng said before his death seemed to have other intentions.

A businessman values ​​profit first, and Ye Huaicheng was willing to turn a blind eye to Liu Yuping's prodigal behavior at that time, and even handed over the most important tailoring workshop to her. Since Ye Huaicheng believed in and loved Liu Yuping so much, why would he After he was seriously ill, why did he suddenly hand over the Ye family's property to her?
Just when Ye Lingwu couldn't sort out her thoughts, there was another movement outside the house.

Xiaoxue fluttered, and Yuan Tao, who had just returned from the small kitchen with hot soup, saw two tall figures approaching the courtyard, and looked intently at them, and when they got closer and took a closer look, she quickly blessed her body and said, "Goodbye." See Lord Ningbei, and little General Yue Yang."

Yue Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and joked: "In the daytime, you still call me brother boy, but now you not only know my name, but also call me little general."

Yuan Tao lowered his head.

Shen Zhan glanced at her lightly, and asked, "Is your girl asleep?"

Yuan Tao said in a muffled voice: "Going back to Master Hou, the three managers are here, and the eldest girl is talking with them. I think I can't rest for a while."

Shen Zhan said: "Then you go in and report that I have something to tell."

Yuan Tao nodded obediently, and opened the warm curtain to go in, but she didn't know that she heard the conversation just now clearly, as soon as Yuan Tao entered, before she could speak, the three managers immediately met each other and said goodbye.

Exiting the room, the three stewards saw Shen Zhan, and immediately bowed and saluted them. They thought that the high-ranking officials would look down on them, but Shen Zhan actually nodded at the three of them and said no. , but his heart was surging.

Li Zheng couldn't help talking a lot: "Thank you, Lord Hou. I didn't expect that Lord Hou could come to Ziluobuzhuang. It's really a blessing for you little ones."

The second steward, Uncle Zheng, said: "That's also the eldest girl's blessing. She was backed by her fiancé Jiang Dashi before, and later has Lord Hou to help deal with the bad debts of the cloth village. It is really a great blessing!"

Hearing this, Yue Yang, who has always been calm in situations, couldn't help but stare.

"What did you say?" Shen Zhan's face darkened suddenly.

Uncle Zheng was frightened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze instantly. Before he could make a sound, the warm curtain was lifted, and Qingju came out and said, "Master Hou, our girl said that it's getting late today and it's not suitable to see guests. Please first go back."

Shen Zhan was silent, and the dim candlelight cast a large shadow on him. The three stewards sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so they hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

Yue Yang thought over and over again, and said: "My lord, since Cousin is going to rest, let's go back, the snow seems to be falling heavily."

Shen Zhan was indifferent, leaving a sentence to wait outside, and then went straight to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ye Lingwu sitting on the table with his head bowed, sorting out the account books.

Yuan Tao at the side blew on the fire and lit a candle lamp, making the whole room bright.

Ye Lingwu heard footsteps, looked up and saw Shen Zhan walking in a haze, her heart tightened, and she said angrily: "Didn't I let Qingju spread the word that I was going to take a rest, why did Hou Ye break into my daughter's life?" Home boudoir?"

Shen Zhan ignored him, looked at Yuan Tao and said, "Go out."

Yuan Tao shivered in fright, and went out with her head shrunk.

Not even the consciousness of resistance.
