How did the promised redemption villain become marriage first and love later?

"Let's go." Gongsun Wenyu sighed, "I'm afraid that no matter how many slaps you slap yourself today, it won't help."

Gongsun Wenyu knelt down, looked at the servants motionlessly, and then showed a pure and harmless smile, and said, "I think Steward Xu must be innocent, how could you allow you to slander him so much, Miss Shen explained this matter clearly in front of her, whether she has wronged anyone or not, can I let Miss Shen decide for herself?"

When Er Gouzi heard that Gongsun Wenyu was still determined to take them to Miss Shen to settle the matter, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and said nonsense: "Just go, I'm afraid you won't succeed."

Obviously, Er Gouzi broke the jar.

A group of people walked from Gongsun Liangyu's house to the owner's house, just in time to see Shen Lianyun fiddling with the abacus.

Seeing a group of people bustling in, Shen Lianyun felt puzzled, and asked, "Shouldn't you be doing the things under your own hands right now? Why are you here?"

Gongsun Wenyu took a look at Shen Lianyun who was looking at him, and said in a straightforward manner: "Miss Shen, just now I came back to the Gongsun Mansion from the Wangling Immortal Sect, and I overheard this servant talking about the Patriarch of the Gongsun Family. Who should replace it is more suitable."

Shen Lianyun did not show too much surprise, as if she had guessed this matter long ago, she just asked lightly: "I know that everyone in Gongsun's family has prejudices about this matter, but there is no suitable candidate right now, so I I just do my best, and when the children of the Gongsun family become famous in the future, I am naturally willing to tell everything about the Gongsun family."

"You're pretending to be stupid!" Er Gouzi didn't take Shen Lianyun seriously at all, ah bah, it's just a concubine's life, yet he still wants to be in charge of the Gongsun family's midwife!

It's just too shameless.

Er Gouzi continued: "Since you know that everyone has prejudices, why do you continue to manage the account books of the Gongsun family. This account book has always been managed by housekeeper Xu. What's the matter with you as a concubine!"

While the two Gouzi were talking, they saw Butler Xu rushing over, and naturally heard Er Gouzi's words on the way.

He immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, Er Gouzi is a rough person. Don't take what you say to heart. The account books of the Gongsun Mansion are the ones the head of the family should ask about. Now that you are in power in the Gongsun Family, you should read it."

Good guy, I said a total of one sentence, but every word poked Shen Lianyun's spine.

By the way, Er Gouzi's bullying was concealed by using the word "rough person" to separate the relationship.

Butler Xu, this is really impressive.

Gongsun Liangyu really didn't expect Steward Xu's words to be like this.

In the past, when he was at Gongsun's house, Steward Xu always greeted him with a smile. Now that I think about it, ever since he was defeated from the Wangling Immortal Sect, Steward Xu has never greeted him on his own initiative.

This person actually began to divide into ranks and ranks in Gongsun's house, which is really abominable.

Gongsun Liangyu said: "A rough man should do the rough man's business, and a rough man can care about the master's affairs casually? I remember that our Gongsun family all bought these people's deeds of sale. Why, take care of it so quickly Can't keep your mouth shut?"

Gongsun Liangyu's words immediately made the faces of those servants turn blue and red. No one thought that Gongsun Liangyu, who was always disliked, could say such words.

Still helping Shen Lianyun, who has a foreign surname.

This made Butler Xu angry, but he didn't show it on his face.

The smiling tiger has been smiling for a long time, so naturally he couldn't take off the mask on his face. He smiled calmly and said: "Miss Shen is so courageous, she has bought the hearts of the sons and brothers of the Gongsun family so quickly. For many years, these sons and brothers have never looked at the old man directly."

Naturally, these words were not good, but Shen Lianyun was not annoyed. After listening carefully to what Butler Xu said, she immediately said, "Butler Xu, how long have you been in Gongsun's house?"

Butler Xu replied, "It's been 93 years."

Shen Lianyun raised her eyebrows and said: "That's also an old man in the family."

Butler Xu didn't speak, but he could tell from his expression that he was a little proud.

Even when Gongsun Haoyan was still alive, he would listen to his advice. How could he care about a mere concubine now?

Shen Lianyun asked again: "How long have you managed the account books?"

Butler Xu replied: "I'm old and not talented. I have been managing account books for more than sixty years."

Hearing this, Shen Lianyun stood up holding one of the account books, and asked: "That's very good, Lian Yun has read all the account books of Gongsun's family these days, and found that the accounts of Gongsun's family are in disorder. Not only that, but many The titles written in the items are extremely vague, can housekeeper Xu give some pointers."

Butler Xu was taken aback, and asked back, "Have you read all of them?"

Shen Lianyun nodded, "Lianyun is not talented, I know that I don't have the ability to remember with a photograph, so some parts with mistakes have been taken off, and Lianyun also knows that Patriarch Gongsun passed away suddenly, if these accounts are not sorted out now , I am afraid that when it is handed over to the next Patriarch Gongsun, it will be another bad debt."

"Since Lianyun is helping with the affairs of the Gongsun family, sorting out the accounts is one of them. Housekeeper Xu, I hope you can give me some pointers."

Butler Xu obviously didn't expect Shen Lianyun to be so proactive in reading all the account books for more than a hundred years. There are twenty or thirty account books in a year, and there are two to three hundred account books in more than a hundred years. In six days, she finished reading it all?

No, she must be deceiving everyone present.

Even if he managed the Gongsun family for so many years, he couldn't remember every account clearly. Even if Shen Lianyun finished reading it, it was impossible for him to have such a memory that he could remember all the accounts clearly.

Thinking about it this way, Steward Xu's heart naturally became more balanced, and he said, "Miss Shen, please tell me."

Shen Lianyun opened the booklet, and opened the original account book while talking, "Last month, Gongsun's family had an expenditure of 400 taels of silver, and the account only recorded food expenses, but the food expenses already amounted to more than 700 taels. Why are the two conflicts? Looking forward, there was a flood half a year ago, and the family was not in short supply of rice, but they still bought high-priced rice, why?"

"A year ago, Butler Xu bought a lot of new tables, chairs and beds for the home. Poor Yun didn't find these new tables, chairs and beds. I hope Butler Xu can tell where these things are placed. Three years ago..."

"Okay!" Steward Xu had veins looming on his forehead, and couldn't help interrupting, "Isn't it a very normal thing to buy meals twice a month, after all, so many people in the Gongsun family want to eat."

Shen Xitang nodded, and said: "Xu Steward is right, so Lian Yun checked the monthly meal silver taels and found that she spent more than 500 taels last month. What's the reason for this, Xu Steward."

A discerning person can see the tricks at a glance.

Butler Xu was instantly speechless.

Gongsun Wenyu stepped forward and asked, "Steward Xu, although our Gongsun family has a great fortune in the Le Tan family, after careful calculation, we don't actually have much property. If Steward Xu doesn't explain the reason right now, I'm afraid that we will lose money in the future." It’s hard to convince people.”

This sentence was like a big stone, and the servants around did not dare to raise their heads.

Er Gouzi, who was still yelling just now, is also worried for Butler Xu.

Butler Xu held back for a long time before he said a word: "Perhaps it was because the accounts were recorded incorrectly, which caused unnecessary misunderstandings. I'll go back and check it carefully."

Gongsun Wenyu walked up to Steward Xu, and said, "Oh, Steward Xu, you are the housekeeper of the Gongsun family. Misrecording the accounts is a top priority. How can you go back and check again? Last month's meal was recorded incorrectly. If you bought the silver taels, maybe you also misremembered other things from half a year ago and a year ago, butler Xu, you didn't even find out, did you?"

These words made people around wake up a little bit.

Regardless of whether this account is true or false.If it is true, how can he be a housekeeper in Gongsun's house with such a random way of keeping accounts? Wouldn't it be that the vain money falls into other people's pockets without knowing it?

If it is false, it means that Steward Xu probably made a lot of money in Gongsun's family. In the past few decades, the accounts of Gongsun's family have been evened out by him.

Thinking about it carefully, I actually felt that Steward Xu was a bit scary.

"You!" Seeing Gongsun Wenyu's aggressive words, Steward Xu couldn't help but become a little annoyed, "Mr. Wen Yu, after all, this old man has been in Gongsun's family for so many years, so naturally he puts Gongsun's family on top of his heart. Write off all the hard work and hard work that I have spent in Gongsun's family for decades."

Gongsun Liangyu burst out laughing after hearing this, and said, "Wen Yu, housekeeper Xu has made so much money from the Gongsun family and opened up so many conveniences to the Gongsun family, and now he is telling us about his hard work. It's his own business to be tired, right?"

"Liangyu, it's impossible to say that," Gongsun Wenyu pretended to be serious, and interrupted him, "There is no evidence for what we said at the moment, and what we said are all one-sided words. Hard work pays off.”

After all, Gongsun Wenyu looked at Shen Lianyun and asked, "Miss Shen, apart from some problems with the account books on these names, is there any other evidence that can prove that Butler Xu took things from Gongsun's family?"

Steward Xu stroked his beard, walked in front of Shen Lianyun, and said, "Miss Shen, since everyone is discussing this matter today, this old man will be No. 1 after washing the dishes for the Gongsun family. Then Miss Shen should be her own concubine in the back house, and don't interfere with the accounts of the Gongsun family."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lianyun was full of curiosity, and asked: "Butler Xu's words are somewhat interesting, so if it is found out that it is Butler Xu's problem?"

Qing Rong at the side tugged at her sleeve: "Sister, it's important that the housekeeper is shrewd, wouldn't it be good to confront him directly at this moment?"

Shen Lianyun held Qingrong's hand, her hand was slender and callused, with distinct but strong phalanges.

Qingrong understood, this was to reassure her.

Steward Xu sneered, turned to the servants behind him and said, "If it is found out that I, Xu, was wrong about what happened today, then I, Xu, will leave Gongsun's house voluntarily without taking any money."

This is an announcement in front of everyone.

But with Steward Xu being so confident, he must have done those things seamlessly.

Gongsun Wenyu looked at Shen Lianyun with some concern. He just provoked Butler Xu just now, but he never thought that he would really have such confidence that no one would find any clues.

Shen Lianyun found a dusty booklet from among the piles of account books, she patted the dust on it, and said: "Lianyun has nothing to do, so I found the housekeeper's deed of sale. Take a closer look I only knew that Butler Xu signed a deed of prostitution and joined the Gongsun family when he was in his twenties, so thinking about it, Butler Xu was still a child back then."

The booklet contained a lot of deeds of prostitution from the servants in the mansion, butler Xu looked at the booklet in Shen Lianyun's hand with flowing eyes.

Shen Lianyun said again: "The deed of sale also wrote the reason, saying that the family had no money after years of locust plagues, so I sold the eldest son of the family to be a servant of the Gongsun family, oh, housekeeper Xu, so you are a servant from a young age." From the beginning, I must have suffered a lot in these years to reach the position of steward all the way."

As Shen Lianyun flipped through the pages, she felt a little pity.

The sound of tsk-tsk in the mouth made the people around really have an illusion.

What is this concubine doing?

"However, Steward Xu's family still has three younger siblings. The plague of locusts is still going on. The younger siblings are waiting to be fed. The price of rice and grain has risen. There is really no way. How can a child have the right to keep accounts."

"Every month in the future, the Gongsun family's accounts will have 50 taels to 100 taels of plain expenses, and the accounts are unclear. Until ten years later, butler Xu became the accountant next to the butler from a young boy. The gap is getting bigger."

"So Lianyun checked the roster of the Gongsun family over the years, and found out that the previous housekeeper was named Zhou Zheng, and now he is an old man in his sixties. When he is old, the owner of the Gongsun family has already returned the deed of sale and gave him a sum of money. We bought a house for his retirement."

"After Zhou Zheng left, Steward Xu justifiably took the position of steward. Since then, there have been more and more gaps in the accounts, but the three younger brothers and sisters of Xu Steward have bought houses for nothing, and even the younger brother has an extra tailor. Shop, what a rare thing this is in Le Tan, butler Xu was sold into Gongsun's family because of his family's difficulties, and now his younger siblings are more promising than each other."

"Housekeeper Xu, this has to make Lianyun suspect, did you embezzle Gongsun's family's money for other purposes?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Butler Xu clenched his fists and said: "You little girl is talking nonsense in the film, and you dare to speak out without evidence. This is not slander or anything! How can the Gongsun family tolerate someone who slanders the housekeeper like you!"

There were whispers and rustling voices around, but they were not voices supporting Butler Xu, they were all suspicious.
