Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 275

Ye Lingwu noticed that Xiao Qu lowered her head and trembled slightly, and she thought for a moment, and said, "The maid next to the second sister is like this, why does she see me as if she saw a debt collector? What's your name?"

Xiao Qu's shoulders shook, and his voice was as big as a mosquito: "Your maidservant...your maidservant's name is Xiaoqu."

"Big sister has something to say to me, what are you doing to scare a little girl?" Ye Jinxiao said in a displeased tone.

The two were quiet, and after a while, Qingju happily came out of the meditation room with an empty medicine bowl, and said excitedly: "Miss, Yuantao has woken up!"

Ye Lingwu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and turned around to enter the meditation room, leaving Ye Jinxiao alone in the courtyard, angry.

The meditation room was dark, Ye Lingwu approached the bed, and saw Yuan Taoxu staring at her with a pitiful little face.

"Big...girl." Yuan Tao breathed weakly.

Ye Lingwu comforted: "Take a good rest, your injury is not healed yet, don't move and tear the wound."

Yuan Tao nodded with tears in her eyes.

The master and servant chatted for a while, and Ye Lingwu came out of the meditation room again, and Ye Jinxiao was no longer in the courtyard.

After staying on the porch for a while, Qingju came out with a big cloak, draped it lightly on Ye Lingwu, and said, "Miss, you'd better go back to the house, the wind monster on this mountain is cold."

As soon as the words were finished, Uncle Yu walked in quickly from outside the courtyard holding the ledger, followed by two middle-aged men in long gowns.

The three of them stopped at the bottom of the steps, and Uncle Yu raised his head and said, "Miss, according to your order, the two bookkeepers from Ziluobu Village and Tailor Shop have been invited."

"Please trouble Uncle Yu." Ye Lingwu said, "Qingju, please sit in the side room and wait for a while."

Qingju responded, and led the two accountants to the side room.

There are two accountants, one is Lao Xutou, who works in a clothing store, and the other is Li Ling, who works in Ziluobuzhuang.Both of them have worked under Ye Huaicheng for many years, and the Ye family's bad and good debts have to go through their hands.

There was only rough tea in the side room, and Old Xu didn't take a sip, and his expression was obviously impatient. Li Ling had dealt with Ye Lingwu before, so he was stable.

"Hi, gentlemen, please come to Qingquan Temple after traveling so far." Ye Lingwu smiled and entered the room, followed by Uncle Yu.

Old Xu Tou and Li Ling got up quickly, and bowed their hands together.

"I don't know why the eldest girl came to us in such a hurry?" Old Xu couldn't hold back his temper and asked directly.

Ye Lingwu sat down carefully, and said, "Two gentlemen, please sit down. I'm looking for you two to ask about some things in the shop."

Old Xu sat down again with a cold face, today he tried every means to evade the newcomer.As for the reason, apart from the fact that the tailor shop had long been under the management of Liu Yuping, it was more because he had heard about the deeds of this eldest daughter who had no respect for her elders.

"Miss, we don't know if you are looking for us because you are in charge of all the affairs in the shop." Old Xu said.

Ye Lingwu flipped through the account books brought by Uncle Yu on the table, raised her head and smiled and said, "I'm going to see the manager in person in a few days, and I invite you two to come here today, just to settle some accounts after my father died of illness." , These days, I roughly took care of the Ye family’s finances, only to find out that the Ye family, as a big merchant in Yuzhou, couldn’t even come up with 1000 taels of silver, so I was really surprised.”

After working as a cashier for many years, the two of them immediately understood what she meant.

Old Xu's face turned red with a thick neck, and he said, "Young lady, don't you think we stole it for you?"

"Miss, we kept those accounts truthfully!" Li Ling couldn't hold back anymore.

Ye Lingwu smiled and said nothing.

In fact, she knows who is responsible for these accounts that are in short supply. Originally, she planned to turn a blind eye to these accounts and these matters, but now it is no longer possible. She has to settle these accounts and these matters clearly. It made it impossible for Liu Yuping to stay in Ye's house.

The tailor shop is actually under the name of Ye Jinxiao and the third elder brother, evading taxes, making false accounts, greedy for money, everything is acceptable to Liu Yuping, the son and daughter, who will make a big deal out of it.

Old Xu Tou and Li Ling saw that she had been silent and did not make a statement, and they had no idea, after all, they were actually responsible for those accounts.

"The two gentlemen have worked under my father for many years. They are sensible and smart people. Now I am in charge of the Ye family's business, and the eldest lady is in charge of the inner house. Everyone says that I don't get along with her, saying that I am cold by nature and ambitious. , I have no respect for my elders, my character is not correct, and I have many shortcomings, so the nobles will look at me differently and say that I have a heavy heart."

Ye Lingwu's tone was indifferent, as if the words were from someone else.

Old Xu Tou and Li Ling looked at each other, their hearts suddenly raised in their throats, and they couldn't figure out the purpose of Ye Lingwu's words.

Neither of them spoke first.

Old Xu didn't care about his disgust, took a sip of thick tea, turned his head around, and said tentatively: "Miss, when the lord is alive, we all put the lord's meaning first, and keep accounts and do things. It's all according to the Lord's will."

"Uncle Xu is right. If the two of you really took it privately, I don't need to ask the two gentlemen to meet here. I just go to the government directly."

Although Ye Lingwu's words were sharp, her tone was obviously relaxed. Old Xu Tou and Li Ling relaxed their faces, and were about to nod their heads in agreement, but Ye Lingwu changed the subject: "But someone has to come out with these accounts, otherwise Ye Lingwu will come out later." The family can't get the money, and others think I have embezzled it privately, isn't this a mess..."

The two accountants were apprehensive, their faces turned green and pale.

Li Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Miss, you have read the account of Ziluobuzhuang before, and you know the reason for it, you can't blame me for it."

"Yes, but what is being said now is that Ye's family is short of money, and it involves embezzling money. Mr. Li has worked under the lord for many years, so he must be aware of the crime of embezzling money?" Uncle Yu said sharply.

Li Ling lowered her head, struggling.

Old Xutou said: "We are just in charge of accounts, so why should Miss make things difficult for us?"

They have been working in the Ye Mansion for many years, if they really dare to do something private, how could they stay until now.Compared with their private encroachment, those who are in charge of private encroachment are more likely.

The accountant said that he is an account manager, and he deals with money every day, but in reality, he can't touch money a few times throughout the year.

Ye Lingwu sighed: "Yes, why should I embarrass the two gentlemen, the accountant has been with my father for many years, and my father must trust you two so much that he can trust you with ease."

"..."

Old Xutou couldn't help thinking about Ye Lingwu's shrewdness and ruthlessness. After thinking for a while, he said cryptically, "Since the young lady wants to know so much, why don't you check the farm under the name of the young lady."

Ye Lingwu stopped serving tea, tilted her head and said with a smile, "Grange? This is a rare thing."

Li Ling raised his brows, turned his head to look at old Xu with complicated eyes, then lowered his head and did not speak.
