Chapter 370
Ling Yu saw Xiao Lintian deep in thought and remembered what Lu Nan said when he entered the door, so he asked.
"Xiao Lintian, how did you deal with Aunt Gao's family?"
Xiao Lintian was brought back from his thoughts by Ling Yu. When he mentioned Aunt Gao, his face darkened.
"Zhao Xuan found two house deeds and more than 100 acres of land deeds from Grandma Gao's house! More than 500,000 taels of silver notes!"
"How dare a kitchen nun embezzle so much! I have ordered Zhao Xuan to send her and her family to the government!"
Ling Yu's eyes widened in shock. Aunt Gao had embezzled so much!
"Then what will the government do?"
For domestic slaves in ancient times, their masters could decide their life or death.
Xiao Lintian sent the person to the government, didn't he want to be stained with the blood of Aunt Gao's family?
"Aunt Gao is guilty of death, and the rest of the family will be sold as official slaves!"
Xiao Lintian said coldly: "I have already shown mercy! Otherwise, if she did such a thing, she should be whipped to death in public as a warning to others!"
When Ling Yu heard the whipping in public, she remembered the scene she had just experienced in time travel. She was disgusted with such a punishment.
Ling Yu changed the topic: "Xiao Lintian, I'm surprised that she has embezzled so much and your accounting department didn't find out?"
"Butler Fan was here before, and they colluded together. It's not surprising that none of you found out!"
"But now that Butler Fan is dead, if no one finds out, then something is wrong!"
"Qiu Wenshuang also comes from a poor family. Wouldn't she understand that the kitchen expenses are abnormal?"
Xiao Lintian looked at Ling Yu, his face slightly red.
"Qiu Wenshuang and the new accountant mentioned to me that the kitchen expenses were too high before. I thought that so many people would eat, and I didn't want to treat the guards' meals poorly, so I didn't change their meal expenses!"
"I didn't expect that Aunt Gao would dare to defy the odds and pay a high amount of food expenses, but let the guards eat so poorly!"
Ling Yu curled her lips and said nothing.
It turned out that Qiu Wenshuang had already greeted Xiao Lintian in advance, so whatever he said would be directed at Qiu Wenshuang.
She had already given Xiao Lintian a disguised reminder. If Xiao Lintian was not alert and still willing to believe Qiu Wenshuang, what else could she say?
After the needle was inserted, Ling Yu took away the needle and stood up: "You can rest! It's time for me to go back and rest too!"
"Well, thank you!"
Xiao Lintian watched Ling Yu walk out. He leaned back on the bed and began to think deeply.
Zhao Xuan had already told him Ling Yu's suspicions about Qiu Wen's twin siblings.
After hearing this, Xiao Lintian thought the same as Ling Yu.
It was not easy for Qiu Hao to come back this time. First, it was such a coincidence that Father Qiu fell to his death!
Second, the antidote Qiu Hao brought back to him was also a coincidence!
Ling Yu didn't even know what kind of poison she was poisoned, how could Qiu Hao know?
Xiao Lintian didn't want to doubt Qiu Hao, after all, he was his savior!
But once the seeds of suspicion started to appear, the suspicion in Xiao Lintian's heart grew bigger and bigger!
When he was ambushed and fell off his horse and injured his legs, he suspected that someone was plotting against him!
It is a fact that Qiu Hao saved himself!
But what if Qiu Hao was the one who was instigated by others to plot against him?
Qiu Hao first plotted against himself, and when he saw that he was not dead, he pretended to save himself!
Let yourself regard him as your savior and be grateful to him!
Trust him and reuse him!
The more Xiao Lintian thought about it, the more he became frightened. Once such a close confidant betrayed him, Xiao Lintian would die without even knowing it!
Xiao Lintian clenched his fists. He had asked Zhao Xuan to investigate. Everything about Qiu Hao's family must be investigated!
Therefore, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xiao Lintian did not tell Ling Yu about his suspicions!
Let the Qiu Wenshuang brothers and sisters think that they still believe in them as always!
