The Yandere Came During the Night

The next day, the old lady took Yu Miaoqi and Lin to continue to visit the Prince's Mansion, and Yu Xiang and Yu Siyu walked all the way. The crown princess' throat was also burnt, and after just a face-to-face meeting, the two Lins were sent to the side hall for training, and they communicated with the old lady Yu Xiang and others on a note, one sentence and one sentence, without leaving any grudges in the words. .

In the next half month, the group visited the poisoned female guests one after another. Because the queen and the crown princess have forgiven them generously, they did not dare to be aggressive, and only had to mention a few words. However, the reputation of Yu Miaoqi and Lin's family is still bad. In the past, there were still a few acquaintances in the Yu mansion, but now the Yu mansion is very busy.

Are the dignitaries alienating the Yu family intentionally or unintentionally, trying to squeeze the Yu family out of Beijing? The circle of high-level gate valves will be completely isolated. This action was exactly what Yu Pinyan wanted. Without human relations, he would be able to act without distractions when the emperor cut down the major families in the future.

Cheng Kangdi is even more happy to see it succeed. Yu Pinyan is now a loyal minister, a good minister, a lonely minister, and an invincible general. Not only did he want to make the best use of this treasured knife, he also wanted to leave it to the prince. It doesn't matter how bad the reputation is, as long as the ability is not bad.

Therefore, although this matter had some influence on Yu Mansion, it did not damage Yu Pinyan's position in Emperor Chengkang's mind.

On this day, I visited the last family, and the old lady called everyone to the main courtyard for discussion.

The weather became colder and colder, and a fire was set in the hall, with a table and a quilt on it. The old lady was weak after being poisoned. At this time, she was huddled in the quilt to keep warm. When she saw her grandchildren, she hurriedly greeted them to sit around the fire.

After Yu Pinyan put down his sister, he sat next to her, Yu Siyu sat on the other side of the old lady, and the four of them just occupied the seat.

Seeing Mama come in with a box, Yu Xiang asked, "Do you want to play mahjong? It happened that I brought some pumpkin seeds here."

When Yu Siyu heard the words, he also went to take out his purse, with an excited expression.

Yu Pinyan smiled and took off the purse from his waist and handed it to his sister, but it was not golden melon seeds, but five-spice fried melon seeds. Yu Xiang was even happier than getting the golden melon seeds, he poured them all out, spread out a handkerchief, raised his chin at his brother, "Peel the melon seeds and put them together, I like to chew them in big mouths. Fragrance!"

Yu Pinyan pinched the tip of her nose, followed by picking up a melon seed and peeling it. Yu Xiang didn't dare to hide his secrets, and the first peeled melon seeds were naturally fed into the mouth of the ancestors.

"What about me?" Yu Siyu was angry.

"Take it off yourself, don't you have no hands or feet?" Yu Xiang waved his hand, took the box and opened it, sighing, "So it's not a mahjong tile."

The old lady made a fuss through her, and her mood improved a lot, she smiled and said, "It's not for fun to call you here today, this is the account of Yu Miaoqi's housekeeper since the time of the housekeeper. Today, the account was reconciled in front of everyone, and then asked Lin Pack up your things and leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone report from outside the door, "Old Madam, Madam and Second Miss are here."

Lin shi walked in front, followed by Yu Miaoqi. Both of them were wearing plain clothes, with a little powder applied to cover up their haggard complexions. Yu Miaoqi had two majestic maids standing beside her, followed by four maids. If someone who didn't know the inside information could see her, she would be regarded as a very respected person in the Hou residence.

The two of them knelt on their knees and saluted. Seeing that there was no more space beside the fire cage, they had to pick up two cold stools and sit down.

The old lady's throat has healed, and she said in a deep voice, "Sit closer, and now hand over the accounts in front of everyone, and then the Lin family will go back with the dowry."

The four aunts are going back to the palace after all. What is the difference between checking accounts in front of them and smashing Yu Miaoqi's face on the spot? She is really powerless to manage such a big mansion, but in order to prevent herself from losing to Yu Xiang, she can only do everything she can to support. And she is the most selfish. When the dowry and the interests of the Hou Mansion cannot be balanced, she naturally chooses to give back the dowry to fill the dowry.

She grew up in the Shen family, and is very proficient in accounting, no matter how many holes in the account book, she can fill it up. If it was just the old lady reconciling the accounts, it would be fine, but the old lady also called Yu Pinyan and Yu Xiang together.

Not to mention Yu Xiang's eyesight for the time being, Yu Pinyan has arrested countless corrupt officials and reviewed countless delicate and false accounts. They can beat her back to her original shape just by flipping through the account book.

Thinking of the amount she was short of, Yu Miaoqi's heart went cold. A thick layer of sweat broke out on her back. The cold wind outside the door made even her soul feel a biting cold.

"Look at you shaking like that, come and bake the fire." Yu Siyu smiled and waved at her, but there was endless malice in his eyes.

"Grandmother, I suddenly feel unwell, can I go down to rest first and reconcile the account tomorrow?" Yu Miaoqi tried to delay the time, and then persuaded Lin to help her? crime. Because Lin Shi was still in the dark about this matter, he would naturally be shocked when he heard it, and then let others see the clue.

"Go back, Lin's stay." The old lady took out the account book from the box and looked at Yu Siyu, "I heard that you are in charge of the villages in the countryside, and today I will let the ancestors see if you are growing up. ."

Yu Siyu readily agreed, and Yu Xiang also picked up a stack of account books. How dare Yu Miaoqi go back alone, so she had to send the four maids and four maids away, and walked over to take a seat with Mrs. Lin.

"Mother, please give my daughter-in-law another chance, mother, daughter-in-law..." Lin tried to beg the old lady for mercy. She privately didn't think there was a problem with the account book, but only thought it was the mess caused by the gang of slaves, and it had nothing to do with her daughter. But at that time, those servants put the blame on her daughter in front of the full house of guests, and she was unable to refute it, so she had to bear it all.

The old lady interrupted her sharply, "Shut up, you can talk to me after checking the account!" As she spoke, three abacuses were brought to her.

The matter of feed-in has always had nothing to do with men, Yu Pinyan did not participate, only smiled at the serious side of his sister's face. Yu Xiang noticed his scorching gaze, looked at her ancestor, and found that she was burying her head in settling accounts, not paying attention to herself, her wet red lips pursed slightly. This was the way she used to ask her brother for a kiss, and at the end she gave a very provocative little look.

Yu Pinyan's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened. If there were not many people in the hall, he really wanted to hold the little goblin in his arms so that he would love him.

After Yu Xiang finished teasing her brother, she opened the account book and looked serious. She browsed very fast, and others had only read half of it. She had already read four or five books, and circled suspicious places with a red pen. After half an hour, all the account books had been read. She took out the abacus and fiddled with her fingers quickly. For a while, there was only a series of crackling sounds in the hall.

The old lady and Yu Siyu had already stopped, and when she finished counting one book, she handed over another book, which was as fast as lightning.

The fine sweat on Yu Miaoqi's forehead had condensed into sweat droplets that flowed down her hairline into her neck. This was the first time she had seen Yu Xiang in charge of the accounts, and Lao Lai's eyesight and speed shocked her. It was precisely because Yu Xiang was so capable that she aroused her competitive spirit and desperately wanted to surpass her.

However, after tossing for more than half a year, she was disappointed to find that the gap between her and Yu Xiang was not as close as she had imagined, but only between Bo Zhong. She seems to be far from it.

She moved her arm quietly, pulled Lin's hand over, and wrote stroke by stroke on Lin's palm, "Mother, help me!"

Lin Shi glanced at her inexplicably.

She wrote it again, with deep despair and pleading in her eyes. Lin Shi suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and he asked silently with his mouth: Did you really use the central feeder?

Yu Miaoqi had to nod to admit it. She originally just wanted to embezzle a little bit and return it when the shop made money. Who knows that the more the shop loses, the more money it loses, no matter how much money is thrown, it will not be heard. She was in a hurry now, but she was powerless, so she could only patch things together and make up for it. If there was no way out, she would never dare to put her mind on the old lady's case.

Lin Shi was so frightened that his whole body trembled. She originally thought of asking the old lady to check first. After checking, she found that there was no problem in the account book, so she left with a few pleas. But if the daughter is really greedy for the money of the public, she is afraid that she can only be swept out of the house. This is her and Junjie's home, and there are many good memories left. She is reluctant to leave, and even more reluctant to lose the status of Junjie's wife...

If she can't be buried with Junjie after her death, where will she go to find him after leaving Huangquan? Thinking like this, Mrs. Lin had endless resentment towards Yu Miaoqi, but seeing her eyes full of fear, Mrs. Lin softened again, and her internal organs seemed to have been scraped by a steel knife.

When the two exchanged glances, Yu Xiang closed the last account book and let out a long breath. Yu Pinyan rubbed her sore fingertips and fed her a cup of tea.

"Yu Miaoqi, do you know that you are like a groundhog?" No one expected her to say this in the first sentence.

The old lady and Yu Siyu were stunned for a while, and Yu Pinyan also showed an inexplicable look.

Yu Miaoqi wasn't sure what that meant, so she forced a smile, "What's your little sister kidding?"

"I'm not kidding." Yu Xiang patted the account book, "Look at you, dig a hole here, dig a hole there, fill a handful of soil here, fill a handful of soil there, you have dug countless holes in a good piece of land. , do you think you look like a groundhog?"

Yu Miaoqi understood this time, and her face was pale.

Yu Xiang's brisk tone suddenly turned stern, "If you don't have the ability, don't take up such a big business. If the dowry shop loses money, you can close it down, and why do you use the public's silver to fill it? You are your private property. I've seen people of all kinds, and it's the first time I've seen someone as incompetent, prodigal, and greedy as you. In half a year, you greedy for 68,448 taels of silver, you say it yourself Tell me what to do."

"No, Qi'er didn't take the money, it was me!" Before Yu Miaoqi could reply, Lin Shi had already threw himself at the old lady's feet. She has lost her husband, son, and can no longer lose her daughter.
