My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 175 You're still thinking long term
Qin Yuan stood up, walked to the dressing table and sat down, motioning Cui Ming to comb her hair.

Cui Ming immediately followed and carefully took off her hairpins and rings. At the same time, she looked at Qin Yuan's face in the mirror with hesitation, as if she was considering what to say to describe Hong Ye.

Qin Yuan said, "You are right, but things like children can never be rushed. Why don't we think about how to manage the household expenses first? How can we manage my dowry after we open the door to the mansion?"

The marriage hasn't even been completed yet, and it's said that there's no rush to have a baby.

Hongye felt deceived: "..."

But she couldn't say anything else.

After the house is established, the young lady cannot refuse to consummate the marriage with the Marquis.

If we continue talking about this topic, I'm afraid the young lady will get angry.

Hongye rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, let's check the accounts of previous years carefully. Some things are one thing to think about and another thing to see. Isn't it more convenient for us to hold them in our hands than to catch them when the time comes?"

Cui Ming was a little curious about what she was thinking about, so she asked, "Hongye, didn't the young lady say that we don't need to calculate it in detail? Why are you bringing it up again?"

Hongye looked at Qin Yuan, but said to Cuiming, "Miss just wants to show the old lady how corrupt Sixth Madam is, but how much Sixth Madam has embezzled can only be estimated. Why don't you just settle the accounts? Anyway, you can't open the mansion right away. Many affairs in the mansion have been cancelled. The front and back yards are now under Miss's management. It's the most appropriate time to ask for the account book. As the saying goes, you will never see it again after you miss it. It may not be convenient for Miss to see it when the time comes."

Cui Ming took the comb and combed Qin Yuan's hair carefully. She said, "What you said makes sense. However, if we take inventory of all the account books from previous years and let others know, it will seem as if our young lady is trying to make things difficult for the Sixth Madam."

Besides, the accountant in the mansion is not someone who is easy to talk to.

However, Cui Ming swallowed the idea and did not mention it.

But she didn't mention it, but Hongye had to.

Hongye said, "That accountant Sun might have some tricks up his sleeve. Last time Hongmian went to enter the bill for the Jade Cream, Accountant Sun said he would ask the Sixth Madam for her opinion. But Hongmian scolded him so much that in the end it was Butler Cao who made the decision to enter the bill."

Qin Yuan also remembered this incident.

Hongye continued, "I heard from Sixteen that when he printed a collection of poems for Sixth Master last time, Accountant Sun questioned Shen Changle and made things difficult for him. He even refused to acknowledge the bill written by Sixth Master. In the end, Sixteen went to find the Marquis and stamped it with the Marquis' seal before he got the banknote. Shen Changle was almost locked up in the mansion."

Qin Yuan frowned and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Hongye said, "I have been so busy with these things recently that I have forgotten about it. Miss, do you know why Accountant Sun questioned Shen Changle?"

"what?"

Hongye said, "He said why Sixth Master's poetry collection had to be printed by the young lady's dowry shop, and why not find a bookstore to print it. He secretly said that there was something fishy going on. He didn't listen to Sixteen's explanation. I think he is Sixth Madam's dog, and he likes to bark at the young lady's people."

Qin Yuan glanced at Hong Ye in the mirror and said with a smile, "Tell me the truth, why do you insist on asking me to check the accounts of previous years? Are you just trying to pick on Accountant Sun? If you just want to pick on him, you can just check the accounts of the outer courtyard."

Hongye chuckled and said, "A lady is a lady, you are very observant. I can't hide anything from you."

Cui Ming was speechless.

Qin Yuan said, "I am too familiar with you, right? I can tell that something is wrong with you, and I am afraid Cui Ming can see it clearly too."

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't notice it at first."

Hongye shouted, "Then when did you figure it out?"

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Since you started to exaggerate the matter, Accountant Sun, I felt something was wrong. The young lady said it out loud."

Hongye said, "Okay, I can't hide it from you two smart people. To be honest, I just thought that if the young lady gave birth to a child, only the Sixth Madam would be needed in the mansion, and she would have to manage the household expenses again. It would be better to check the accounts, so that she would not dare to make any more plans, and the young lady could be pregnant and give birth to a child safely."

Cui Ming seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "You think long-term."

Hongye said proudly: "I just suddenly thought of it just now. For the young lady, I have spared no effort to do everything I can. Can the young lady see my loyalty?" "Is that all you think of?" Qin Yuan smiled.

Hongye stammered, "And that accountant Sun is in cahoots with Madam Six. Sixteen and I both find him annoying. Why can't we check his accounts?"

You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.

If you miss this village, you will miss this shop.

It's not a big deal to deal with people you don't like, right? !
Qin Yuan said: "I'm tired, let's clean up and go to bed."

Cui Ming turned around and made a face at Hong Ye.

What Qin Yuan said was equivalent to saying, okay, there is no need to mention this matter anymore.

Hongye was a little disappointed, but she felt better after a while. She made the bed, put incense pills on it, and waited for Qin Yuan to go to sleep.

Qin Yuan changed into her pajamas and lay down on the bed. She suddenly said, "This accountant Sun can indeed be checked."

Hongye laughed “hehehe”.

Qin Yuan said, "Go to sleep quickly. Try to find fault with Accountant Sun. If you can't find any, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Hongye shut up and said nothing more.

The next morning, after Qin Yuan washed up, she asked, "Have you gone to get breakfast?"

Hongye said, "Today we have milk steamed buns made in our small kitchen, as well as some fish porridge and vegetarian dumplings. For breakfast we only got some dumplings and pickles."

Qin Yuan said, "Put more in the food box, and go to the outer courtyard to have dinner with the Marquis later."

Hongye laughed non-stop.

Qin Yuan was too lazy to look at her, out of sight, out of mind.

Cui Ming poked Hong Ye and whispered, "Take it easy, don't embarrass the young lady."

Hongye: "Hehe, um, hehe."

Cui Ming shook her head and chased her away to pack the lunch box.

Qin Yuan took them to the outer courtyard. Outside the study, the servant was still guarding. When he saw them coming, he immediately said, "Madam, the Marquis has some things to deal with..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Shiliu came out and said with a smile, "Madam, are you here to have dinner with the Marquis? The Marquis is inside."

Qin Yuan asked, "Do you have something serious to discuss? Don't delay me. There is food in the Wutong Garden kitchen. You and the Marquis can enjoy it slowly."

As he said that, he gestured to Hongye to hand the food box in her hand to Gu Shiliu.

Gu Shiliu waved his hands and said, "No, no, Madam, you came just in time. Things have been dealt with. I will go and eat with Master Liu."

Gu Jinghui also shouted from inside: "Why don't you invite Madam in?"

Gu Shiliu said, "Madam, you heard it too. The Marquis invites you in."

Then he whispered, "My Lord, you didn't get much rest last night. It's a good opportunity for you to have breakfast and rest for a while."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Shiliu also breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to Master Gu Liu.
