The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

"What's wrong?"

Xue Mingyue was about to go back to the house to rest, but her spirits were shaken when she heard these words.

Liu Xin quickly stood up and took the account book to her for a look. Without delay, she said directly: "This rice shop has received too little profit in the past few months. The rice shop is in a very good location. The monthly income of the rice shop before was It’s quite a lot, so those with less money have problems.”

"And it's not just this shop that has this problem, there are two other shops that have this problem as well."

Xue Mingyue flipped through the account books, checked the accounts in her mind, and found that it was exactly what she said.

This situation looks somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows.

Xue Mingyue turned her head and looked at Liuyun and asked, "Is the shop we checked last time the same?"

It took Liu Yun a moment to realize which time she was referring to last time, and she definitely nodded: "Yes!" At that time, they discovered the problem with the account books and suspected that the shopkeeper was lining his own pockets, so they went to the shop to check the accounts. But was bitten back.

Later, when the matter became a big deal, it was brought to the old lady's side, and the young lady was even scolded.

Otherwise, the young lady would not listen to Bai Zhenzhen's words and personally make easy-to-digest pastries for the old lady. However, Bai Zhenzhen took advantage of this and asked someone to add walnut powder to the pastries, thereby framing the young lady!

A cold light flashed across Xue Mingyue's eyes, and her fingertips slowly rubbed the pages of the book.

Liu Yun and the others didn't know much about it, but she had lived an extra life and knew about it. There were people in the shop and farm under the Hou Mansion that Bai Zhenzhen bribed. Maybe they were all shopkeepers, or the Bai family paid for her. Deployed manpower.

It was for this reason that Xie Lang was later involved in a rebellion and imprisoned, so Bai Zhenzhen was able to take away all the money on his books and run away.

I think Princess Cen probably didn't know about this. No one is willing to watch their property become an outsider, and this is indeed a hidden danger. If this hidden danger is eliminated, maybe Xie Lang won't have to suffer such a heavy punishment when he is imprisoned later.

Xue Mingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly and she fell into deep thought.

If she could help resolve this matter, and then use it as a credit to propose reconciliation with Xie Lang to Princess Cen, maybe she would not have to stay in such a stalemate with Xie Lang, and avoid getting disgusted with each other.

When his grandmother spoke up, could he dare to say no to Xie Lang?

Reconciliation is just around the corner!

The more Xue Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, and her mood that had just been a little down and depressed became brighter again.

She thought for a while and warned: "Don't tell anyone about this for now."

"Liu Xin Liulan, you first find all the shops with problems with their accounts, and then find someone else to check the life experiences of the shopkeepers, accountants, and clerks in the shops, and keep an eye on them secretly."

Does that mean they don’t need to handle the accounts?

That's really good!

Liu Xin Liulan's eyes immediately lit up and she said immediately: "Yes, madam."

The biggest difficulty in front of her was about to be solved. Xue Mingyue was in a good mood. She immediately forgot about the unhappiness caused by Xie Lang and waved her hand boldly: "I'll treat you to roast whole lamb tonight."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Everyone was full of energy for a while.

Muqingyuan was very busy, and even the people in the small kitchen were busy preparing to roast the whole lamb.

Xijiang, who stayed in the yard, was dumbfounded watching this scene.

He was thinking about how to report to the Marquis. After all, the lady seemed not to care at all that the Marquis went to a shady teahouse, and she was still in the mood to roast a whole lamb with the maids.

Hey, but why did Madam go to Jing'an Teahouse?

...

Xie Lang felt regretful in his heart.

If he had known that he would meet Xue Mingyue by chance with that group of people here, he would never have come to the teahouse for an appointment today. However, under the premise that he and Mingyue had a conflict and had a fight, the misunderstanding would only become deeper.

But it just so happened that a scholar accidentally leaked the information about buying exam questions in this teahouse today.

The Minister of Civil Affairs has already secretly become the Second Prince's faction, and among the young masters brought by Xie Lang, some of their families support the Third Prince, some support the Fourth Prince, and even the neutral faction. Naturally, they can't bear to see the Second Prince continue to grow like this. .

It is up to the juniors like them to go back and tell their parents so that no one will be suspicious.

In order to kill the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, he killed his wife instead.

Thinking of Mingyue's half-smiling look when she left, Xie Lang couldn't help but press his forehead in annoyance. Suddenly, his narrow black eyes narrowed slightly and asked quietly: "Why did Madam go to the teahouse? "

Wu Ye said quickly: "Master Hou, the teahouse under my wife's name is just opposite the Jing'an Teahouse, and the business is bleak."

Xie Lang frowned and remembered what she had written last night, vaguely guessing what she wanted to do.

However, unless there was a connection between the two teahouses, Mingyue would not go to Jing'an Tea House for no reason. A dark light flashed across his dark eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and check the relationship between these two teahouses as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Wu Ye responded with a solemn expression.

Seeing that he had become taciturn again, he said in an unyielding tone: "Master Marquis, are you going to let Madam misunderstand you like this? Madam must have been to the teahouse and know what's going on inside. In her opinion, you are just going behind your back." She went to hang out!"

"If you continue to act like a boring gourd and don't explain, Madam will definitely piss you off!"

Moreover, the Marquis would do this, on the one hand, to bring down the Minister of Civil Affairs, but on the other hand, he also wanted to avenge his wife!

The Marquis is still sleeping in the study.

If he doesn't explain, he will really have to sleep in a separate room with his wife for the rest of his life.

When Wu Ye thought about it, he thought it wouldn't work.

Xie Lang paused, raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes dark: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Of course I have to coax him!"

...

Xue Mingyue took a nap for half an hour.

When they woke up, Liu Xin and Liu Lan were still thinking hard, and refreshments were thoughtfully placed beside them. I don’t know whether it was because they were roasting a whole lamb or because they didn’t have to deal with the accounts tomorrow, but the two of them were doing their abacus so fast that even afterimages appeared with their fingers.

Liu Xing stood aside and watched in admiration.

Seeing Xue Mingyue wake up, she quickly ran over to fan her, looked at her expression and whispered: "Miss, Jinlu Pavilion not long ago sent a box of ready-made clothes and a box of jewelry."

"Jewelry? When did we order the jewelry?"

Liu Xing whispered: "They said the Marquis bought it for you."

"..." Xue Mingyue's face darkened.

Does Xie Jinglan dislike her?

She had already attracted enough limelight at the palace banquet. People in the city were still talking about it these past two days. Did he think the city wasn't lively enough?

This is definitely revenge for her bumping into him today!

Xue Mingyue's face was unpredictable, her thin lips pursed tightly, and she sneered: "We can't accept the big gift from the Marquis. All the jewelry will be sent to the study. As for the clothes, we should also put them away and don't touch them."

Liu Xing responded.

At this moment, a boy suddenly ran over and said breathlessly: "Madam, these are the pastries that the Marquis bought for you from Babao Zhai."

Xue Mingyue frowned tightly, but before she could say anything, another maid ran over.

"Madam, this is the rouge that the Marquis selected for you in Linglong Pavilion."

"Madam, the Marquis bought the Sichuan brocade for you."

"lady……"
