The chaos only lasted for a moment. By the time Butler Sun realized the shock of "falling from the clouds", the commotion had already disappeared without a trace.
"County, Princess! What do you mean by this?!"
He stood up too hastily, and before the hurried questioning could spread, he was drowned out by the sound of "clang" as Xiuduner fell to the ground.
The echoing sound spread directly to the courtyard door, but it seemed that there was still an echo, lingering in the silent Governor's Hall.
Danyang sat upright with a bright smile and said calmly:
"Steward Sun really doesn't know what crime Li has committed?"
Under Danyang's cold and sharp gaze, Sun Tingzhong felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
But he was usually quite cautious and thought he didn't leave any evidence behind. Then he is still afraid of this little milk cat that has not yet grown up, showing its teeth and claws? !
When he thought of this moment, Butler Sun's calmness, which he had lost due to his shock and embarrassment, instantly returned to his heart.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I lost my etiquette in a moment of impatience. But I really don't know the inside story."
After he bowed and answered with his hands in hand, he stood up immediately, acting neither humble nor arrogant, and said righteously:
"But as far as I know, Mr. Li is very dedicated to his duties. If you punish me just because of your likes and dislikes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Danyang suppressed his smile, nodded and said:
"Okay, what a 'punishment based only on likes and dislikes'. Butler Sun's eloquence is indeed good. In that case, please come and explain to me what is going on."
As she spoke, she raised her hands in front of her and spread her palms upward.
Just when everyone was confused, Zizhu, who had gone to the corner and returned without knowing when, had handed over a thick, dark blue old account book on the white catkin.
The stewards at the foot of the stairs were too far away to see what the specific book looked like, but when Nanny Feng, who was under the command of Danyang, saw it, her eyes lit up in an instant.
Is this, is this the general ledger of the princess mansion?
Qing and the eldest princess are just fooling around! How could such an important thing be left in the hands of a child who has never taken care of his own family?
Not to mention, leave it to Princess Danyang, who has never been reliable and has been a demon king since she was a child!
Aunt Feng was so angry that she felt dizzy for a moment, and she felt even more jealous. Princess Danyang had gotten the thing she had coveted for many years so easily!
Therefore, there was no need for Butler Sun to hint frequently. She was so angry that she expressed her position:
"Princess, although I am not your nanny, but every day I am working in the princess's mansion, I have the old lady of the town, your grandmother, to supervise your responsibilities."
"Now in public, if what you just said was a joke or a joke, it will damage the dignity and virtue of your famous daughter, and it will also smear the reputation of the princess's mansion and the government's palace. I will never do that. Protect you!"
When Danyang heard this, not only did he not feel threatened at all, he turned to Nanny Feng and said with a relaxed smile:
"Of course. However, after hearing these words today and knowing that grandma can always act impartially, I feel more confident."
Aunt Feng had a bad premonition for a moment, and because she didn't understand what Princess Danyang meant, she swallowed back the unspoken sarcasm.
When Butler Sun saw the general ledger, his head buzzed and he felt dizzy.
He indeed blocked many people's mouths and tried his best to smooth out the detailed accounts of the general manager's room.
However, the general ledger has always been in the hands of the eldest princess Qinghe, and it is only taken to the general manager's room once a year. Aunt Zhou is also watching from the beginning to the end, so it is extremely difficult to tamper with it.
Therefore, if you carefully check the general ledger and the detailed ledger now, you will definitely find the tricks and loopholes in it!
only--
Steward Sun swallowed hard and smeared it before he could calm down the dryness in his voice, and said loudly:
"The princess just asks. But if there is no reliable person in this delicate accounting work, I'm afraid the princess will be deceived. If you don't trust the villain..."
Sun Tingzhong said as he stepped forward, as if he wanted to teach Danyang the skills on the account books, but his eyes were almost glued to the account books.
When Danyang saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his chin slightly.
The maid in pink and blue clothes immediately stepped forward and stopped in front of Butler Sun, blocking Princess Danyang from the wolf-like gaze.
At the same time, a voice like a silver bell came from behind the maid, saying:
"Steward Sun, stand still and listen clearly. The others don't have to think too much."
After saying this, Zizhu raised his voice to pay the debt.
While reporting the general ledger, I also picked out the detailed accounts corresponding to the problems and related them one by one. Even at the end, he even reported the name of the store where Li bought the goods and the purchase price. It was so detailed that there was nothing he could say to deny it.
The stewards of the Princess Mansion who are listening below are all talented people selected from thousands of people. Zizhu has laid out all the problems in the accounts so clearly. Who can't understand?
The more Butler Sun listened, the paler his face became. He wanted to interrupt several times, but was blocked by the ensuing account report.
In this moment, while speechless, I was already sweating profusely.
At this time, the maid between them had stepped aside. Princess Danyang looked at him coldly for a moment, like a steel needle rushing towards him, making him take two steps back involuntarily.
When Danyang saw this, he suddenly laughed, raised his hand to interrupt Zizhu's words, and said:
"I think Butler Sun seems to be unwell? Then let's not bother him about such a trivial matter."
Butler Sun was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Danyang speak again:
"Zizhu, pick the one circled in red ink and say."
This time, with the sound of Zizhu's yin and yang fluttering, the steward who fell in love with him more and more among the people below the stairs turned pale like Butler Sun.
Butler Sun's throat was filled with smoke, but his hands and feet were getting cold.
Swallowing again with difficulty, his eyes wandered for a moment, and while Zizhu was taking a breather, he immediately struggled to speak:
"Princess Mingjian, there must be some misunderstanding here. Please give me a few days to find out the whole story."
Danyang raised his hand to stop, and ignored Zizhu, who wanted to continue despite Butler Sun's explanation, and said with a smile:
"Is that so?"
After tilting her head slightly as if she was troubled, she nodded happily, "Since other people's matters need to be investigated before talking about it, I won't ask you, Butler Sun, for the time being."
But then he smiled and gave an even crueler sentence.
"However, regarding this matter related to Butler Sun, please give me a clear answer now and on the spot."
As she said that, she raised her hand and the maids and servants responsible for serving tea and water immediately went to the corner to open the remaining box, another big box, and took out a steady stream of dazzling rare things from it.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the luminous pearl that is as big as a baby's fist.
When the things were placed one by one, Danyang continued:
"I have never seen such a rare luminous pearl in the East Palace. So I was curious and asked Zizhu to inquire about it. I found out that it originally came from the Zhenbao Pavilion. It was collected by Butler Sun three years ago and was sent to Qishuang Pavilion yesterday."
Danyang Dao explained the cause and effect, and suddenly turned his cold eyes from Ye Mingzhu to Steward Sun, and asked with a sneer:
"I wonder, Butler Sun, when did you save up one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver to be able to spend so generously on such a rare item?"
