The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 44 Head 1

The autumn sun was shining brightly, and Jing Shu was sitting at the head of the meeting hall in the backyard of the Zhenguo Palace. Uncle Fu and two accountants were standing at the bottom.

One of the two accountants was called Shunxi and the other was called Laiwang.

That Shunxi was the nephew and nephew of a distant relative of the second aunt Guo's grandson's daughter-in-law's downtrodden natal family. Although she had nothing to do with the Zhenguo government, the distant relative was able to get the Guo family, and the Guo family controlled the family.

For most of the family, it was not difficult for Shunxi to find a job in the house. Seeing that he had read books and knew how to settle accounts, he ordered Uncle Fu to arrange for him to run errands in the accounting room.

This Shunxi was a man who knew how to get things done. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would go to Mr. Guo to curry favor with him. He would be promoted to accountant, and he would become the boss among the subordinates. He was also Mr. Guo's confidant.

Jingshu said to several of them: "I have sorted out the accounts of the past few years in the house. I have called you here today to talk to them."

Uncle Fu said respectfully: "But just listen to Madam's orders."

Shunxi sneered in her heart. The Zhenguo Palace is so big, and the monthly expenses are so high, so there are so many things that can't be understood in a short time. It seems that the new mistress is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

, although he doesn’t look like a mediocre person, he is still young after all, and how can he figure it out in such a short time.

Over the years, because he had been in charge of the accounts, he had secretly helped Guo make money. Of course, Guo ate meat and he drank soup, and he also benefited from the benefits.

But he tried every means to balance the accounts.

Not to mention a young girl, even the shrewd and experienced Uncle Fu couldn't find anything.

Shunxi was thinking secretly here when the woman above asked: "Which one is Shunxi?"

Shunxi recovered her mind and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Madam, the younger one is Shunxi."

Jing Shu looked at him and nodded, waving to him: "Come here."

Shunxi stepped forward and said, "What do you have to do, madam?"

Jingshu handed him a stack of account books and said, "You can take a closer look at these accounts when you go back. I saw a few things that I didn't remember clearly."

After listening to Jingshu's words, Shunxi was shocked: She had wiped out those false accounts. Could it be that this little girl had really seen through the film?

For a moment, his mind turned around and he thought about it again: This mistress must have secretly found out that he was from the Guo family. Could she be deceiving him by coming out like this so suddenly?

Shunxi calmed down and replied respectfully: "Madam, I have been in charge of accounts for many years and have always been cautious. I have carefully sorted out these accounts before handing them over to Manager Fu for Madam to review."

Jingshu said calmly: "I've circled all the problematic areas here, and you'll know after you take a look."

Shunxi opened the account book in panic, and saw that it was densely packed with circles, which made him feel nervous.

Not a single item of the accounts he believed he had settled evenly could be cleared.

Sweat gradually broke out on Shunxi's forehead. After staring blankly at the account book in her hand for a long time, she raised her head and looked at the young mistress in front of her in disbelief.

She looked calm and looked at him calmly, with no emotion on her face.

It actually made him feel even more upset.

It seems that he couldn't hide the fact that he helped Guo make false accounts to line his own pockets.

I just don’t know how this little mistress will deal with him.

According to the family law of the Zhenguo government, personal property must be confiscated and driven out of the government.

If this was the case, his good days were coming to an end. Shunxi's heart was filled with chills, and he glanced at Mr. Fu beside him with a sad face as if asking for help.

Mr. Guo was sent to the family temple as a punishment, and there was no hope for him. Considering the fact that we had worked together for many years, he hoped that if the young mistress would retaliate against him, Mr. Fu would beg for a favor for him.

Naturally, his every move would not escape Jingshu's eyes, but she just remained silent, neither speaking nor looking at him.

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

Shunxi's forehead was covered with hot sweat.

It was not that Shunxi and the Guo family were unaware of the fact that Mr. Guo was lining their own pockets. Not only he, but also the old lady was aware of it, but both he and the old lady had a tacit understanding of turning a blind eye.

It's just for the sake of the late second master and the elder Li Xian, and I hope that everything will be prosperous for my family.

However, now that the new mistress is in charge, her status is different and her stance is different on this matter.

Manager Fu tentatively said: "Madam, there is a problem with the account, and I am not to blame. You see, how about I check it carefully again?"

Unexpectedly, Jingshu replied: "No need."

Manager Fu didn't understand Jingshu's meaning for a moment and cast a doubtful look at her. Shunxi was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak out.

Jingshu looked at Mr. Fu, then at Shunxi, and said calmly: "There are no big problems in this account. There are only a few things that are unclear. Let Shunxi sort them out later."

Manager Fu understood what Jing Shu meant as soon as his eyes moved, but he secretly admired the old lady's good eyesight: these accounts could be sorted out clearly in just a few days, which showed that this young mistress was capable. He admired her even more.

What's amazing is that this little mistress handles things so well at such a young age.

Take the matter in front of me as an example. If it were an ordinary young daughter-in-law, the harsh approach would be to kill one person and punish them severely to frighten the others; the tactful approach would be to blur the past. Anyway, these are all old accounts, so simply

If it sells well, no one will be offended.

However, this little mistress was able to show kindness and power at the same time without showing any signs of failure. She not only frightened people, but also did not offend them.

Uncle Fu replied with the word "good".

After saying that, he turned back to Shun Xi and said, "Have you heard what Madam meant clearly? Let's go back and sort out the problematic accounts."

Shunxi promised hurriedly, but in her heart she was confused.

The mistress gave him the account book directly. Although Manager Fu didn't see how the circles were drawn in it, he could see clearly just now when he opened it.

Where are the one or two things she mentioned? They are so densely packed that all the false accounts are missing.

Jingshu looked at Shuangxi and said, "I heard that you are a relative of the second aunt?"

Hearing Jingshu mention the Guo family, Shunxi hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, when it comes to the younger ones, I would call Mrs. Guo grandma." As she said that, she smiled flatteringly at Jingshu: "In terms of seniority, Mrs. Guo

Since she is my great-grandmother, I still have to call my wife my aunt."

Jingshu said nothing. Uncle Fu rolled his eyes at him and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around here."

He just saw that things were turning around, so he hurriedly approached Jingshu to flatter him. After listening to Uncle Fu's scolding, he also calmed down: In terms of age, he is much older than the mistress, so he calls this little girl aunt.

, indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Then again, there were so many elderly people, but they never tricked her. She could see through the fake accounts she had worked so hard to make with just a few glances.

All these years of food were in vain, and they were lost in the hands of a little girl.

Shunxi was making confused calculations in her mind, but with a smile on her face, she nodded and bowed her head to show her goodwill to Jingshu.

Jing Shu was not angry because of his blunder. Her expression remained the same and nothing could be heard in her tone. She looked at Shun Xi and said: "Since he is a relative of the second aunt, he is also a relative of our house. When it comes to human relations, it is natural to

One level closer than outsiders.”

Shunxi nodded repeatedly and echoed with a smile: "What the madam said is true, what the madam said is true."

Jingshu continued: "The government will not treat you badly." After a pause, she looked at him and said meaningfully: "As long as you can do things with your heart."

Shunxi finally felt relieved after hearing what Jingshu said.

The mistress spared her in the end. He was not stupid, so he could naturally understand the meaning behind her words.

It's for Guo's sake.

Shunxi hurriedly knelt down and replied respectfully: "Young man, I understand. Thank you, Madam, for reminding me. From now on, I will definitely serve Madam as my duty."
