Tidying up the Family Manner [7]
Xiao Ling stared at her with a pale white face. A couple of times, the lips moved but no words came out.
Scared to death? These people, if she doesn’t make some harsh moves and give them some looks, they will never know how powerful they can be!
“Young miss!” Dong Ling heard of the news and rushed over. Once she saw that Xiao Ling was blocking Huang Bei Yue’s path, she thought that something had happened so she hurriedly rushed over.
When she saw Xiao Ling’s pale white face, she was slightly comforted.
“The wind is big outside. Young miss, let’s go back.” As Dong Lin said this, she raised her head to look at Xiao Ling, smiling: “The elder young miss’s face doesn’t look that good. You should hurry back and rest as well.”
Once she finished, she walked over to hold onto Huang Bei Yue’s hand, slowly escorting her back. That Pei Xiang looked from the back for a while before coming up and following them as well.
“Today, the third young miss has demonstrated her powers. I see that Concubine Xue and Qin are both terrified. In the future, they definitely will dare not to look down upon the third young miss.”
Dong Ling peered at her: “When the Lord and the elder young master comes back, maybe they will stir up some troubles. What are you being happy about?”
Towards the type of maids who betrayed their masters and acted flexibly according to the situation, Dong Ling normally didn’t like them. Therefore, she talked in a rude tone.
Pei Xiang knew that Dong Lin and Huang Bei Yue are very close to each other so she didn’t dare to be impudent.
“Pei Xiang.” Huang Bei Yue slowly opened her mouth to ask: “The things that I ordered you to do, how is it coming along?”
“The third young miss, please don’t worry about it. This matter, this maid also knows a little about it. I had followed the clues, tracking it down and gained a lot of information.” Pei Xiang saw that she could make an accomplishment so she immediately exclaimed.
“The money, account book, warehouse, etc. within the prefecture are all looked after by the housekeeper Zhou. In the past, housekeeper Zhou was the person appointed by Princess Zhang but later on, he was bought by Concubine Qin so he had helped Concubine Qin to look after the bills of the region of QingHe. These couple of years, Concubine Qin wasn’t that stupid either. Whenever it was time to hand in the taxation of QingHe, she will secretly store some amounts and let the housekeeper Zhou to secretly make some movements. In the future, even if people wanted to check it, they wouldn’t be able to. I feel like that Concubine Xue would also do that.”
Huang Bei Yue nodded her head. Making fake accounts, she had seen a lot of this before. It was nothing new. It’s just that the housekeeper Zhou had been regarded highly by Princess Zhang and who knew that he was actually bought by Concubine Qin. This was quite disappointing.
However, it wasn’t too surprising. All the servants that were loyal to the prefecture of Princess Zhang were all forced away. Those who are left, most of them were bought by other people. Otherwise, based on Princess Zhang’s prestige when she was still alive, how could Huang Bei Yue be bullied to this point?
“The account books are all handled by the housekeeper Zhou?” Dong Ling inquired.
“The housekeeper Zhou takes care of it. Because Concubine Xue has a detailed mind, the Lord had also let her look after it. It had conveniently let her make some movements as well!”
Huang Bei Yue faintly stated: “Since they had made some moves on the account books, then naturally we are unable to see anything. It’s just that since Concubine Xue and Qin had embezzled quite a bit. Then they probably have a secret government treasury of their own.”
Dong Ling listened to this, scrunching his eyebrows: “In regards to the money, even if we make a LanMu card, we probably won’t find anything either. Those gold and silvers, jade artifacts, antiques, and such could be hidden into the space ring then it would be harder to find!”
“LanMu card…” Huang Bei Yue thought for a while then suddenly smiled: “The biggest money farm in Nan Yi Country is the family of Bu Ji Er?”
Dong Ling laughed: “Not only just the Nan Yi Country but the biggest money farm on the Karte Mainland is also the family of Bu Ji Er!”
A flash of bright and radiant light went by Huang Bei Yue’s eyes. If it was the family of Bu Ji Er, then she could think of some ideas.
Dong Ling saw that she had a lot of confidence. She couldn’t help to be curious and ask: “Did the young miss think of something?”
