"I see that she is plump and plump, and there is nothing wrong with her. Mrs. Ji, you need to be more measured in your temper. Don't blame me for suing your parents. There is no reason for a married daughter-in-law to lie in the yard all day!"
Ji Shu blinked.
"Then what does mother-in-law do in the house every day? Don't blame the daughter-in-law for being outspoken. The old lady is still alive, and you are also the daughter-in-law?"
"you!"
Mrs. Li bit her lower lip, and the old lady gouged out her eyes before she sat down and stopped.
"Shu'er, I'm begging you. It's been six years since you got married. You can't bear to see the shop you built with your own hands be delisted and closed down!"
Ji Shu sniffed, rolled up his handkerchief and turned his head away, sniffing and saying:
"If grandson-in-law is in good health, the definition is unavoidable. But if grandson-in-law is like this, how dare she risk her life..."
The old lady's face became serious, "Ji Shu. I don't want to hear these excuses. Tomorrow you go to Yunxiafang to handle the matter. If it doesn't work out...don't blame me for handling it!"
She got off the arhat's bed and said as she walked out: "Give her the account book! Ji Shu, I only allow you to check the accounts of these months in one night. If there are any problems, go and deal with them immediately! Don't put it off again. Come back tomorrow night." Report the situation here.”
"snort!"
The old lady threw down the curtain and left angrily.
Mrs. Li gloated, "Did you hear that? Go back and check the accounts quickly!"
Ji Shu was the only one left in the room. She smiled and put her arm on Xitao's arm, "Let's go."
The doctor followed her, and after she left the Fushou Hall, he asked softly: "Young madam, do you want me to go and talk to the old madam again and exaggerate your illness?"
"No need."
Even if she told them that she was going to die tonight, the old lady had to ask her to clean up Jiang Fu's mess first. Ji Shu had known that this day would come.
"You don't have to worry about it, just go back and rest."
At the fork in the road, he separated from the doctor and returned to Changle Courtyard. Someone then sent him the account books.
The maid who delivered the account books couldn't hide her excitement, "Young madam, does the old lady want you to be the housekeeper again?"
Xitao chased her away: "Go! Don't make trouble, young lady."
She pulled the maid to the corridor outside the room, and the maid grabbed her worriedly, "Sister Xitao, what's going on? The young lady's face is so pale."
Xitao sighed and said: "Young Madam is sick and sick from overwork. She has to rest for a year and can't work at all. But the old lady... insisted on Young Madam to clean up the mess that Miss Fu made tonight. , the young lady has to stay up late to check the accounts, and she has a headache!"
The maid was startled, looked at the figure reflected in the window, and burst into tears.
"Sister Xitao, you must take good care of the young lady!"
The maid turned around and left Changle Yuan in three steps.
Xitao entered the house, carefully closed the door and entered the inner room. She smiled and said, "Madam, it's done. I'll see if the news of your illness will spread tomorrow."
Ji Shu smiled and nodded, stretching his arms.
"Madam, go and have a rest. May I please turn off the light for you?"
"Light on, you go and ask the kitchen to warm up a cup of refreshing soup every hour and deliver it to the door."
You can't see what's going on inside the house from the front door, but you can see the light of candles.
Knowing that she had to check the accounts all night long, and seeing that the lights had been left on all night, the maids would subconsciously feel that Ji Shu had not slept all night.
Ji Shu went to bed and called Qingtan, "You put on a disguise and go to the shop in Jingnei to buy me a bag of betel nut pills."
"yes."
Ji Shu had a good night's sleep.
The next day, the old lady was not worried about Ji Shu, fearing that she might be acting treacherously, so she sent someone to look for her early in the morning.
Xitao came out with an annoyed look on her face.
"The young lady is eating the morning meal! When she finishes eating, she will go to the shop!"
The woman who arrived nodded enthusiastically, rolled her eyes, and randomly picked up a maid from the corridor.
"Let me ask you, did the young lady check the accounts yesterday?"
The maid broke away from her and rolled her eyes, "Young madam didn't sleep all night! She had to drink a bowl of refreshing soup every hour! The maid delivering the soup watched the lamp burn all night!"
She muttered something inhumane, turned around and ran away.
The mother-in-law knew it well and reported it to the old lady when she got back.
The old lady was relieved. As for Ji Shu's illness, she didn't take it to heart at all.
It doesn't matter if you die of illness, just revitalize the shop first so that the Hou Mansion can have no worries in the future.
"Go and urge her, tell her to go to the shop quickly and cooperate with Shuntian Mansion to investigate the case, and get the things back as soon as possible!"
The old lady sent people to invite her. As the sun rose, the old lady finally saw Ji Shu.
"Ho! Madam! You, you are..."
The mother-in-law looked up and staggered in fright.
I saw that Ji Shu's face was pale and her eyes were dull. Although she had a beautiful face and was as sick as Xizi, it was because of this that she looked even more pitiful. How could outsiders see this?
The mother-in-law quickly said: "Good madam, if you go out like this, aren't you going to scare people? Why don't you... go back and put on makeup? Or you can wear a veil!"
"My wife stayed up all night, how can she afford to clean up her face! I just want to come back quickly and see a doctor."
Xitao's eyes were red and she took a veil to cover Ji Shu.
"Young Madam, you are weak, so you should ask the doctor to follow you to avoid any trouble."
Ji Shu glanced at the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law looked at her like this and how dare she say no.
In this way, after dawdling for a long time, several people got on the carriage and rushed to Yunxiafang.
Kang Liancheng, the prince of Jingkang Bo, investigated the case on behalf of Shuntian Prefecture. The area around Yunxiafang was controlled by officers and soldiers, but many people still gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Everyone, get out of the way! Let the carriage from Wudinghou Mansion pass!"
The people made way, and the officers and soldiers removed their sword guards. After the carriage stopped, Xitao got off first, and then carefully picked up Ji Shu.
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and Xitao accidentally knocked off Ji Shu's veil.
Kang Liancheng was shocked when he came up to see the gift.
"Qi, Mrs. Qi?!"
"Kang is treating you with courtesy."
"Second Madam, what's wrong with you?"
It was clear that he was fine last night, but why did he feel like he had been sucked out of his body all night long?
Xitao: "My young lady last night——"
"Sir! Let's handle the case first! If we finish the case first, my young lady can go back and rest as soon as possible!"
The mother-in-law rushed forward and said with a smile.
Kang Liancheng frowned worriedly, thought about it for a moment, and invited Ji Shu in.
They said they were investigating the case, but in fact they just listened to the testimonies of the remaining guys.
Ji Shu sat quietly aside the whole time, concentrating on playing the role of a weak patient, so bored that he secretly picked his fingers.
The shopkeeper and his accomplices who escaped have been caught by Qingtan, and all the things they stole are now in Ji Shu's warehouse.
Even if Kang Liancheng catches them, they won't know who intercepted them halfway. Unfortunately, the case remains unsolved after all.
Seeing that the time had come, Xitao stepped forward and said, "Sir, can you tell our young lady to leave first? The young lady has to go to other shops to check the accounts, so there is no need to delay."
"Your wife...it's better to go back and rest."
"No, thank you for your kindness."
Ji Shu stood up weakly, took Xitao's hand and walked out. Kang Liancheng couldn't bear it and stepped forward to follow.
When Ji Shu reached the door and stepped on the threshold, she suddenly paused and saw her covering her heart.
"Puff——" sound!
Vomited a mouthful of blood!
Xitao: "Madam!"
Kang Liancheng: "Miss Ji!"
