Pei Luobai looked at her intently, his eyebrows were deep, and he seemed to have some deep affection. Unlike in the past, when he opened his mouth, it was just to question or scold, but instead to test.

Gu Nanzhi's eyes moved slightly, which showed that he really believed it, and his father would speak for him.

Her eyes were clear, without a trace of guilt, she just met his gaze straightly, allowing him to look and explore, pretending to be surprised, "There is such a thing, although Yueniang is guilty, but she raised Brother Qian after all. One time, the crime is not enough to die, and I ask the son to investigate this matter clearly, and don't let Brother Qian and I have a birth share."

When Brother Qian was mentioned, a soft light appeared on her face.

Pei Luobai felt a little relieved, but he didn't believe her words, he just reassured her, "If you dare to hurt someone in the Hou's mansion, I will definitely investigate."

Seeing Gu Nanzhi's calm expression, he lowered his eyes. Could it really be that it wasn't her?

On the other side of the Hebai Courtyard, the old lady had already ordered people to clean up the Hengwu Courtyard as soon as possible, but Steward Feng came to find him.

"I don't know what the old lady means. Do you want to clean out the Hengwu courtyard, or decorate the Hengwu courtyard according to the identity of the young master?" Steward Feng asked cautiously.

The old lady gave him a sideways glance, "Of course, according to the status of brother Qian, the Hengwu courtyard was cleaned up. Is this a question?"

Hearing this, Steward Feng looked puzzled, "This..."

The old lady frowned, "Speak up if you have anything to say."

Only then did Steward Feng say, "If you go back to the old lady, there will be less than 1000 taels of silver left on the account..."

"What did you say?" Before he could finish his sentence, the old lady's voice became louder. How could there be less than 1000 taels of silver left on the account of the majestic Hou's mansion? It really made people laugh out loud.

"Where did all the money go?"

How did Steward Feng know, he hesitated and said: "The wife of the Shizi has been in charge of Zhongfu all these years."

He doesn't know either!The Hou Mansion is so poor that it can't even compare with ordinary wealthy businessmen.

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became annoyed, pointed at Mama Kong and said, "Go and invite me Mrs. Shizi, I want to ask how she has been in charge of the family all these years."

Ever since Pei Luobai said that Brother Qian would be moved to the front yard, Gu Nanzhi had been waiting, and when she saw Mama Kong coming, she went to Hebai Courtyard without asking any questions.

Finally, when the time came to settle the accounts, it was time for her to get back the money they owed her.

"Zhizhi, you have been in charge all these years. Because I trust you, I have never asked a question. Now tell me, why is there less than 1000 taels of silver left on the account?" The old lady slammed the account book on the ground. In front of Gu Nanzhi.

Gu Nanzhi glanced at it, then slowly raised his eyes, "Grandmother means that I have been greedy for money from the Hou's mansion?"

Pei Luobai and Zhao also came after hearing the news.

Zhao said with a straight face, "If that's not the case, then where do you think the money went?"

This time Pei Luobai stood by her side, "Zhi Zhi, if you misappropriated the money in the account, as long as you tell the truth and make up the misappropriated money, grandma and mother will not blame you."

Xia Ling and Qiu Ci wanted to speak, but Gu Nanzhi stopped them with her eyes. She picked up the account book on the ground, brushed off the floating dust, and said softly: "Grandma, please ask the accountant to come over and check the accounts! If I If you are greedy for a tael of silver, you will take all of my dowry to pay off the debt."

Hearing her words, the old lady and Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows and eyes moved. Whoever the housekeeper is not greedy for some money, they are sure that there is only this little money left in the Hou's mansion. Gu Nanzhi must have tampered with it. Even if her dowry is rich, so what But who would think too much money?

The old lady immediately asked someone to invite the accountant to check the accounts in front of them.

The three accountants kept checking from morning until late at night, and the sound of abacus beads never stopped.

The old lady couldn't bear it any longer, she raised her eyelids and asked, "How long do we have to investigate?"

The three accountants looked at each other, "If you go back to the old lady, there are a lot of accounts, at least it will be tomorrow morning."

If she stayed up all night, she would not be able to boil her to death, so the old lady told Gu Nanzhi to go back to rest, and told her to come over early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Shi and Pei Luobai also stayed up all day.

After leaving the Hebai Courtyard, Pei Luobai quickly caught up with Gu Nanzhi, "Zhizhi, it's still too late. As long as you tell me a number, I will fill it up for you."

"Your Majesty is so sure that I have embezzled the money from the Hou Mansion?" After leaving these words, Gu Nanzhi drifted away.

Dark clouds were gathering in Pei Luobai's eyes. If she wasn't still useful, do you think he would be willing to meddle in these nosy matters?

The next day, when Gu Nanzhi came, the old lady had not gotten up yet. She waited for a long time before the old lady had breakfast.

Her actions in the eyes of the old lady were tantamount to guilty conscience, and the old lady became more and more determined that she embezzled money from the Hou's mansion.

Pei Luobai and Mrs. Zhao arrived just in time. As soon as they arrived, the three accountants all put away their abacus and stayed up all day and night. All three of them looked haggard.

The old lady slapped the table, "Tell me, how much money did Mrs. Shizi embezzle from the Hou Mansion?"

As soon as she said these words, the three accountants were all stunned, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces. Where did she start with these words? When did the Crown Prince's wife misappropriate money from the Hou Mansion?

Gu Nanzhi pursed his lips and smiled.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, the old lady sneered, "Could it be that you have forgotten who is in charge now!"

The chief accountant took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the old lady..."
