Yu Qinglan was very calm and said, "What do you think of these poems, young master?"

Ye Wudao was surprised and took a deep breath. He lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that one of the three stewards, Steward Liu, is the young lady's man?"

"In fact, my disappearance is also my handiwork." Yu Qinglan turned the pages of the book and said calmly, "It is to cause a fight between the eldest brother and the second brother. If they regard each other as a thorn in their eyes, they will naturally ignore me."

Ye Wudao opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Why tell me? You told me this , do you want to kill me?"

"No, no, no." Yu Qinglan smiled and said, "Of course, I want you to help me. My second brother is unwilling to give you enough trust. I believe you have seen it. I am willing to give you enough trust because I am weak. If I want to compete for the position, I must fight for it."

"Even if it means... betting my life on you."

Ye Wudao was not calm. His face was very ugly. Since Yu Qinglan revealed the details to him, he must have been prepared. If Ye Wudao did not cooperate with Yu Qinglan, Yu Qinglan would definitely kill him.

Even if Ye Wudao revealed what Yu Qinglan did, the final outcome would be death, because Yu Qinglan's status was much higher than his. Even if he was exposed, if he still wanted to kill Ye Wudao, even if someone protected him, it would be difficult for Ye Wudao to survive.

After thinking for a while, Ye Wudao laughed and said sarcastically: "Miss, you are so cruel. Your protectors have followed you for so many years, and you just betrayed them?"

Yu Qinglan said lightly: "To put it nicely, there are my protectors among those people. To put it bluntly, among those people, there are my father's people, my elder brother and second brother's people, all of whom are monitoring me."

"Monitor?" Ye Wudao found it a little funny and said: "With Miss's low-key personality, how could anyone monitor me?"

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the depths of Yu Qinglan's eyes, but on the surface he was still calm.

She said calmly: "Father wants to use me as a pet and a pawn to exchange interests. My elder and second brothers want to use me to do things for them. Sir, don't you think that I am the daughter of the city lord. Can't I participate in the affairs of the city lord's mansion?"

"My father asked me to manage the textile and alchemy merchants under the city lord's mansion. He didn't treat me as a vase. Since I have some power, although not much, since I have it, I will definitely be noticed."

She was right. Since she has power, she must be the focus. It is impossible not to be the focus, especially when the position of the city lord's mansion is about to be vacant.

After Ye Wudao was silent for a moment, his expression gradually became serious.

He said solemnly: "Miss, are you really willing to give me 100% trust?"

Yu Qinglan said: "I have little real power in the City Lord's Mansion, and I dare not show too much, lest my elder brother, second brother or even my father become suspicious. If I don't dare to gamble at this time, then everything will be blown away like a cloud of smoke."

"It will be even more difficult to make decisions for yourself in the future. I want to be the city lord, not because I am greedy for power, but because I want to make decisions for my future, not let them control me."

Ye Wudao nodded, looked at the account in Yu Qinglan's hand, and asked: "Since we are on the same boat, then let me ask, where did Miss get this account book from? Could it be that Butler Liu , is he your man?"

"No, I did the account myself privately." Yu Qinglan said: "I don't have many informants, but each of them is very important. Over the years, I have summarized so many accounts through them, but there are still many that I am afraid do not match."

Ye Wudao pondered and said: "So the main records are some dirty accounts. I saw an ordinary healing pill that seemed to be sold for only one immortal yuan outside, but it was recorded as ten immortal yuan?"

"Yes." Yu Qinglan asked: "Sir, how do you think this account book can be used to help me?"

Ye Wudao pondered: "Can the account book verify the authenticity?"

"All of them match, they are all true."
