Mother Wu's expression changed, but Li Qingyi just pretended not to see it.
"I'll go right away." Silan didn't even look at Wu's mother, and walked out.
Mother Wu said "Hey" in a low voice, but for a moment she couldn't think of any reason to stop her. After hesitation, Isatis had already left.
She looked at Li Qingyi again.
Li Qingyi was still flipping through the ledger slowly.
Mother Wu felt uneasy, thinking that Miss Li, who had never cared about these things, suddenly wanted to check the accounts, might be because the princess wanted to put the house in order.
I heard that the princess had already kicked out several daring servants.
This isn't an accounting, it's clearly an accounting!
Thinking of this, Wu's mother's face became even uglier.
She was sent to Li Qingyi's place by the third lady, naturally because she was an experienced person, her brain was quick enough, and she knew everything about the back house.
The princess replied to the request, and then immediately expelled the people. This was clearly an attempt to gain power! We must eliminate dissidents!
In the current situation, could it be that Miss Li knew that she was the Third Madam's employee, and on the pretext of checking the accounts, she actually wanted to deal with her?
Mother Wu’s heart twitched violently!
She glanced at Li Qingyi secretly, moved her butt forward, and wanted to say something.
Li Qingyi raised his head and looked at her, "Mom, are you thirsty? Heng Wu, give some tea to Wu's mother. People will be here soon. Do you have anything to say?"
Mother Wu kept saying "I don't dare bother you", which was much more sincere and humble than her attitude just now.
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Mother Wu, you're welcome. You work as an errand in my Zhuoxiang Courtyard, and we are considered one of our own."
Mother Wu's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat, and she thought to herself that Miss Li must have something in her words.
"It's... one of our own, ahem."
Heng Wu placed the tea and snacks in front of her, and Mother Wu thanked her politely. She held the tea cup and kept thinking about what to say.
She was greedy for money, and it would be shameful to cause trouble. Could the third lady come forward to protect her? Then her own face will be lost. My servants went to other people's yards to collect money. Are they crazy because of poverty or something?
Moreover, the third lady would never admit that she deliberately placed someone next to Li Qingyi.
Therefore, no one would protect her. It would be okay if Miss Li asked her to make up for all the money. But if she was handed over to the princess directly, she would definitely not end well in this crisis...
Isatis came back at this time, "Girl, from the beginning of last month to now, everyone who has delivered things to our yard has been called over. Most of them are from the princess's yard, and Miss Wei's yard. Yes, there are also those in the courtyard of the old lady and the third lady."
Li Qingyi glanced outside and said, "Can you clearly explain what you sent and when did you send it?"
"Yes. Wherever each hospital sends things, they will also be registered. You will know after a check."
"Yes." Li Qingyi then looked at Wu's mother, "Mom, look, these people have all sent things to Zhuoxiang Courtyard, have they ever given any money?"
Mother Wu moved a few times as if there were nails under her buttocks, "Slave...I can't remember for a moment..."
"Can't you remember?" Li Qingyi said with a smile, "That's okay. Those who give rewards don't have them in mind, but those who receive rewards must remember them clearly. Isatis, go outside and ask, have you ever accepted the rewards from Mother Wu?"
Mother Wu wiped her sweat. There were girls and ladies from various courtyards standing outside. She could say that the people in the Princess's courtyard were lying, and she could even say that the people in the eldest girl's courtyard were lying, but she could tell the old lady and the third lady that they were lying. Are the people in the courtyard lying?
"No, no need. I remember, I have been so busy during the Chinese New Year that I forgot to write down several accounts. I will write them down later and reply to the girl..."
Mother Wu has been working in the Wei Mansion for more than ten years and has never seen such a powerful girl.
Without saying a harsh word, he forced her to have no way out.
Li Qingyi closed the account book and looked at Wu's mother, "So, my mother recorded the wrong account."
Mother Wu's heart trembled, and she knelt down. Even her little crotch was covered by her fingers.
The action brought it over.
Li Qingyi sent the account book forward, and with a click, it landed in front of Mother Wu, "Mother Wu, although I am temporarily staying in the Wei Mansion, you have to work hard in my yard for one day, and you have to be careless like this. This problem must not happen again in the future.”
Mother Wu quickly picked up the account book and tucked it into her sleeve, "I will make sure this account is straightened out. There will be no mistakes or omissions again."
Li Qingyi waved his hand, "You go ahead."
Mother Wu raised her head and resigned on the tips of Li Qingyi's toes.
After she left, Island twisted her eyebrows and asked, "This evil slave who deceived his master, did you just let her go like this?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "My mother was very tidy up in the house, but Mother Wu made such a big mistake but she gently and skillfully solved it. What do you think the third lady will think?"
Ji Lan thought for a while with wide eyes, then took a breath, "Does the Third Madam think that Mother Wu did something to satisfy the girl so that she let her go?"
Heng Wu laughed at the side and said, "Mama Wu is probably thinking of escaping a disaster today. When we go back to the third lady, she will have to explain everything!"
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Kicking her out or punishing her is just a temporary anger, and it will do us no good. Let's see if we can use the person."
*****
Early in the morning, Lei Ye came back from a boxing session in the yard and saw Song Yang still sitting at the table, sighing and lashing out at the buns in front of him.
The bun had been punctured with holes all over, and the soup and meat fillings were flowing everywhere.
"Are you still angry?"
Last night, Lei Ye was dragged by Song Yang and kept in Qushang Pavilion until midnight. Finally, he found out the whole story and found out that it was Lin Ji who caused the trouble. Song Yang wanted to call the Lin Mansion immediately and kill that bitch on the spot. Dharma.
Lei Ye persuaded him.
He just knocked on the door and Song Yang almost got something like that, why didn't he make it known to the whole world?
Song Yang also listened to the advice and immediately gave up the idea of coming to the door. He quickly left the unlucky place of Qushang Pavilion and followed Lei Ye home to stay. He also thought about how to take revenge. Who would have thought that if we came together this morning, the streets would be small? Word spread in the alley that Song Yang had a spring night with Pink Butterfly in Xinyang Pavilion.
"It must be Lin Ji's shit that got people to spread the word!" Song Yangyang pretended to cry for a long time: "My father is right, our family is really unfortunate! I am the most unfortunate in this family! I will never have the shame to go out to see you again. There are people..."
Lei Ye couldn't hold back his laughter.
Song Yang suddenly became anxious, "You're still laughing! My whole life's reputation is ruined like this!"
"Lin Ji is the grandson of Marquis Nanning after all. You can't kill someone to vent your anger, right? Why don't you find a wife as soon as possible and clarify that you are not interested in men!"
