Chapter 34 34. What do you want?
After attending the banquet in Prince An's Mansion, Liu Xinning, who returned to the mansion, continued her life of lying down while stretching out her clothes and opening her mouth for food.

Every day, apart from going to the palace to brush up favorability in front of the emperor and the queen mother as usual, he just nestled in the courtyard and sorted out all the information he had collected before.

Her head didn't stop turning, and the servants who reported the matter back and forth in her yard didn't stop flowing either.

On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Dan Yan invited Liu Xinning to the small study, and began to relay the account book on the desk.

"So, in this year's account book, more than 2 taels of silver are missing??? And so on..."

Liu Xinning sneered and sneered.

The original owner is different from those ladies from aristocratic families who are waiting for their parents to give a dowry.

When she was born, she received all kinds of rewards, including gold and silver jewellery, fields and Zhuangzi and so on.

It was even when she was three years old that she was granted the title of Princess Zhaoyang, and she had the fertile land of Zhaoyang County.

Although these properties are kept by the eldest princess, they are all in her name and have separate account books.

Although her eldest princess is not smart, the stewards assigned to her are all carefully selected by the queen mother.

Therefore, the property under her name is already a huge sum under the investment and reinvestment of those stewards.

As for how much property she has, Liu Xinning is also not clear, all she knows is, a lot, a lot!

The account books she checked this time showed a loss of more than 2 taels this year.Then, what about the past?
"Yes. The account books I brought over are from the past two years. Grandpa said that based on the accounts alone, this year there was a loss of more than 2 taels. Last year was about the same amount." Dan Yan replied respectfully, holding her breath.

"I see, you go down first." Liu Xinning sat at the desk, thinking.

On that day, in order not to disturb too many people, Liu Xinning asked Chun Nuan to use the money and quietly took out the account book from the account room.

Since it was done secretly, naturally I didn't dare to take too much, I only took it for the past two years.

However, looking at the leopard in the tube, there must be many people who have been corrupted.

"Aunt Chun Nuan, go and see if that person is there? If he is, quietly take him to the back room."

Liu Xinning, who had thought about it, walked out of the study and gave instructions to Chun Nuan who was standing at the door.

"Yes." Chun Nuan walked out quickly.She didn't let the little girl pass the message, but went to the front yard herself.

Looking at the back of Chunnuan leaving, Liu Xinning walked into the yard while thinking.

That day, after the guard named Xiao Muze came to report, she asked Chun Nuan to inquire with the leader of the guard, Lin Shuangmu.

Xiao Muze, seventeen years old, was born in Longyang County in the north, with all directions and household registration.

On September 17, [-], Yu Qingping was recommended by the returning guard of Baihua Bieyuan, and went to Baihua Bieyuan as a guard.

Because of the burglars who broke into the other courtyard on the third day of October, they behaved extremely bravely, and Lin Shuangmu was delighted to bring them into the eldest princess's mansion to be on duty.

However, because of Xiao Muze's status as a five-year living contract, he only patrols the periphery, occasionally runs errands, and does some unimportant things.

Therefore, being bold and careful, with high martial arts skills, has nothing to do with the people in the house.If people are more reliable, it can be used.

Therefore, after listening to the report that day, Liu Xinning tentatively gave Xiao Muze a few small tasks to find out irrelevant news.

And Xiao Muze completed everything very well, and kept it extremely confidential.

This made Liu Xinning more and more satisfied!
She is just a boudoir girl, and she has no plans to turn the world upside down outside, all she does is to lie down completely.

Therefore, it is good that the person who uses it is capable and loyal.

And this Xiao Muze...

He brought this up on his own initiative, and there was something suspicious about the steward's death.

If you mention it yourself, it means that you want to be reused.

When Xiao Muze followed Chun Nuan to the inverted room in Shuyi Garden, Liu Xinning was already sitting in the first seat and waiting.

"Speak." Liu Xinning said concisely.

Xiao Muze didn't drag his feet, and talked about Liu Xinningxin's arrangement for him to investigate the manager.

That little steward came from the Liu residence, and was stuffed by Liu Tingfeng into the steward of the outer court who was in charge of the income of Liu Xinning's fief Zhaoyang County.

In order to make the little steward loyal, Liu Tingfeng put the steward's daughter beside Liu Xinning to become a delicate and expensive maid.

This is obvious, one is for appeasement, and the other is as a hostage.

Now it is clear why the family was burned.

It's nothing more than killing people!

Liu Xinning couldn't help but sneer when she thought of the accounts that had been checked today.

"Oh, what a big mouse."

Liu Tingfeng's soft food is really not hard!In particular, Liu Tingfeng actually killed people to silence him?
It seems that she still doesn't know enough about this father!
"If the news of the things you investigated for me leaked out, I'm afraid my father won't be able to spare you. If so, I'm dragging you down."

Liu Xinning picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, but lowered her head and said to Xiao Muze.

"This subordinate is the guard of the eldest princess's mansion, so he should be loyal to the eldest princess's mansion. Now it is my honor to be favored by the princess."

Xiao Muze quickly expressed his loyalty.

"That's it... Aunt Chun Nuan, you can reward Xiao Huwei with 100 taels of silver first." Liu Xinning first ordered Chun Nuan.

"Thank you Princess for the reward." Xiao Muze quickly thanked.Although he was grateful, he did not lose his composure, and looked very calm.

"Xiao Muze," Liu Xinning put down the teacup, and suddenly called Xiao Muze's name formally, which made him a little surprised.

"Subordinates are here."

"What do you want?"

? ? ? ? ? ?
Xiao Muze had question marks on his face, he didn't understand what Liu Xinning meant.

"You see, everyone wants something. Some people want to be safe and secure, some people want to be rich and powerful, and some people want to be in power... Even the servants who don't have a free body also want things. Yes, there are those who want to ask for money... Then, what about you, what are you asking for?" Liu Xinning asked seriously.

Danyan's grandfather is willing to help her check the accounts wholeheartedly because he has something to ask for.

Dan Yan's family are all servants of the eldest princess, and they are also official slaves.However, after three generations of official slaves, they can only be released from citizenship, and it must be under the condition of amnesty.

The eldest nephew of Danyan's elder brother's family is the fourth generation, and he has the possibility of leaving his nationality and becoming a good citizen.

Before, Dan Yan was just a rough servant girl serving in Shuyi Garden, but now she has become the Princess' personal servant girl.

There was no chance before, they couldn't help it.Now that there is a possibility, they naturally want to seize it fiercely.

So, this is what Danyan's family wanted!
Chunnuan has something to ask, she wants to save her life and live in peace and stability.

Qingchu had something to ask for, she wanted to be old enough to let go of her life contract, be a free agent, and marry her beloved.

Long Yue and Qiu Si have something to ask for, they want to be famous, they want to be decent, they want to always follow her, Princess Zhaoyang, and enjoy the honor.

Loyalty is possible only when you ask for something.

So, what about Xiao Muze in front of him?

He was an orphan, and now he is alone.Now only a five-year contract of living has been signed, and he has not sold himself to the eldest princess's mansion.

What is he asking for?
