Chapter 4 - Cut off her financial path

Seeing the two maidservants staring at her for an instant, Su Li smiled slightly.

"Just ask whatever you want."

Si Qin wanted to stop talking, but Mo Painting couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Miss, when did you learn medical skills?""

A few of them have been with the young lady since they were young, and they never knew that the young lady could still use medical skills, and they were so powerful that even the poison of golden grass could be cured.

Su Li leaned against the wall of the carriage and said lazily: "Your young lady is favored by the gods. An old fairy taught me in my dream."

The two girls glanced at her angrily.

"Miss, you are our three-year-old child!"

Su Li looked at these two girls, she was indeed blessed by the gods before she was reborn.

"I taught myself. There are so many books in my father's study, and there are many medical books in it."

This is true. Since she left this scar on her face, she has rarely gone out. 

The most I do every day is to go to my father's study to read a book.

Seeing the two girls looking at themselves with distressed expressions, Su Li smiled and said, "It's okay, the lost east corner is over. Look, don't I have to change my medical skills?"

Si Qin thought of what was going on in the mansion and said, "Miss, although you don't like to go out of the mansion, there is no need to give all your clothes and jewelry to the second lady, not to mention the twelve jade pieces that the princess gave you."

Su Li smiled and said, "Those twelve pieces are not so easy to wear. She is a commoner, wearing such a valuable thing to attend the Qionghua banquet, haha..."

Mo Painting's eyes lit up and he said, "Miss!The slave understands!If the second lady really wears twelve jade pieces, she will definitely become a target. We can't be clearer about the methods of those noble women. At that time..."

Su Li sneered, yes, no one can know the methods of those noble women better than her.

After she was disfigured, she didn't hide in the mansion every day at first.

But every banquet has such and such accidents, and although she is noble, those noble women secretly make stumbles but can't prevent it.

Her noble status is still so, not to mention Su Yue.

No one else knew about this Qionghua banquet, but she knew that it was for the prince to choose a concubine.

The prince has been lingering on his sickbed for several months, and the palace doctors are helpless.

Seeing that his condition was getting more and more serious, Qin Tianjian put forward a suggestion to choose Concubine Chongxi.

Su Yue wanted to be in the limelight and let her go out. Anyway, she was a commoner, and the queen couldn't look at her.

"Miss, the drunk fairy has arrived."The coachman's voice came.

Si Qin and Mo Painting helped Su Li get out of the carriage.

Si Qin asked, "Miss, what are we doing in Zuixianju?""

Although Zuixianju is the property of the lady, the lady never cares about these trivial matters.

"Check the account."Su Li spit out two words lightly.

"Check the account?"

Seeing that the lady didn't want to say more, Si Qin and the two of them stopped asking more questions, and followed Su Li into the Drunk immortal Residence.

Zuixianju is one of the best restaurants in the capital. It is full of guests every day. It is said that it is not an exaggeration to enter Doujin every day, but this is not the case.

As soon as he entered the Drunk Immortal's residence, an old man in his forties greeted him.

"Miss, why are you here?"

Su Li said, "Uncle Lin, my mother has gone away. I will check this month's account."

Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "The young lady has really grown up and knows how to share for her wife. Yesterday, Mr. Xia in the account room said that the ledger was ready. Let's go. Let's go to the account room."

Su Li nodded and walked ahead.

"Uncle Lin, who introduced this Mr. Xia?"

Shopkeeper Lin thought for a while and said, "It was arranged by the master, and he said he was very capable."

Su Li sneered from the bottom of her heart, she was indeed capable, otherwise how could she quietly wipe the account so flat, so that her mother hadn't noticed it for so long!

It's a pity that I met her!

This accountant is actually Aunt Xia's brother and Su Yue's uncle!

Half of the money he moved went into the pocket of the man in Xiyuan!

The golden brocades and expensive jewelry on Su Yue's body came from here.

When he arrived at the account room, he saw Xia Jiang in the room.

"The lady is here to check the account, so take out the ledger."Shopkeeper Lin said to Xia Jiang.

Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Oh, miss, please sit down and wait a moment."

Su Li sat down in a chair, Si Qin and Mo Painting stood behind her.

Su Li looked at Xia Jiang, looking honest and steady on the outside, who knew that he was indeed a black-hearted one.

In the previous life, this person ran away with the money from the drunk immortal house. Xiyuan cried with repentance and begged her father and mother for forgiveness. When she said that she was deceived by her brother, she knew that this person turned out to be Su Yue's uncle. Uncle.

"Miss, this is this month's account, please check it."

Xia Jiang looked respectful, but the contempt in her eyes was clearly seen by Su Li.

This is a loophole that she thinks her mother can't see, can't she see it either?

Huh!

Su Li smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, please show me the ledger of last month."

Xia Jiang was taken aback for a moment, could she really see anything?

But I thought to myself that an official lady who can't get out of the door and can't get out of the door, she shouldn't know much about these things.

"Hey, miss, wait a minute."

The two-month ledger was placed on the table, Su Li took the ledger and looked at it slowly page by page.

"How long has Mr. Xia been in Zuixianju?"Su Li seemed to ask in a small chat.

"Miss Hui, it's been almost two years."

Two years?That's a bit too much to swallow!

Su Li put the ledger heavily on the table.

With a 'bang', Xia Jiang was taken aback. 

"Miss, but what's wrong with this account?"Xia Jiang said cautiously.

Su Li looked at him coldly and said, "Does Mr. Xia really think that no one can see the trick in this account?""

Xia Jiang immediately blackened his face and shouted: "Miss, my old Xia has been diligent and diligent in Zuixianju for two years. What does Miss mean by this?"

"What do you mean?Then tell me, I bought a batch of food at the beginning of the month, which is enough for the drunk immortal to live for a month. You bought another batch at the end of the month. Let's just say you bought it for the next month, but you bought it again in the middle of the second month and bought it again at the beginning of the third month. How do you explain?"

Originally, buying one batch in one month was enough. In this way, I bought three batches in two months, but the account check was for the current month, so my mother didn't notice this loophole.

Xia Jiang's face suddenly turned pale, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Miss, this summer food is cheap, so you need to buy more to make up for the winter."

Su Li smiled and said, "Oh?What about the hoarded food?"

Xia Jiang wiped his sweat and said, "The little one asked someone to put it in the warehouse outside."

Su Li smiled and said, "Give me all the accounts for the past two years."

"This..."

"What?The owner wants to check the ledger, but he can't do it?Or does Mr. Xia have a ghost in his heart?Do you need me to send someone to report to the official?"

Si Qin and Mo Painting opened their eyes wide in surprise. Is this still the depressed lady in their family?

Shopkeeper Lin also looked at Xia Jiang and said, "Don't go yet!The lady wants to check the account, what are you doing?Do you really have a ghost in your heart."

Xia Jiang's heart was full of bitterness.

I thought this was a straw bag lady, but I didn't expect it to be a thorn.

If you don't take the ledger, you have to report to the official.Take the ledger, it will also be a big trouble.

Regardless of it, let's go through it first, and then go to my sister to find a way.

Xia Jiang turned around and took out a stack of ledgers.

"Miss, this is the ledger for the past two years."

Su Li took the ledger and went through it.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Xia is really thinking about Zuixianju. He has been raising food since last year. There must be hundreds of thousands of catties of food in the warehouse outside, right?"Then you don't need to buy it this winter.Three days later, let me go and see this batch of food."

Xia Jiang was dumbfounded.

"What?Is there a problem?"

"No... no problem.Xia Jiang wiped his sweat.

Su Li got up and said, "That's good, okay, I should go back too, and come back in three days."

After going downstairs, Shopkeeper Lin apologized and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't even find that Xia Jiang had a problem."

What kind of food!Even he didn't know it at all.

If it weren't for the young lady to check the accounts, the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain would not have fallen into Xia Jiang's pocket.

Su Li smiled and said, "Lin Bo doesn't have to blame himself. This person was recommended by my father. Of course you can rest assured.But, Uncle Lin, this Xia Jiang is the brother of Xiyuan."

"What!"

Su Li said, "Uncle Lin, find someone to look at him in the past few days, don't let anyone run away!""

Shopkeeper Lin immediately said, "Don't worry, miss!"

Su Li was of course relieved of Shopkeeper Lin. This restaurant was the dowry of her mother, and Lin Bo was also the one given to her mother by her grandmother.

"By the way, in six or seven days, a man named Wang Wei will come to you. You first let him help in the restaurant, and I will make other arrangements for him later."

"Yes, miss."

After getting into the carriage, Si Qin couldn't wait to ask: "Miss, that accountant is obviously embezzling money. Why don't you report it to the official?""

Su Li said, "Report to the official?The one in our mansion can push things clean, and I will give him three days to spit out all the misappropriated money for me."

You must know that the bulk of the money is in Xiyuan. Naturally, she doesn't want to live happily there, so she has to break her financial path first!

When Xia Jiang emptied Xiyuan, she saw how happy the mother and daughter were!

"But Miss, what if Aunt Xia doesn't take it out alive or dead?"

Su Li sneered: "She will take it!"

Xia Jiang has helped his sister hide more than one or two things over the years. With this handle, does Aunt Xia dare to take it?

If you report to the official and force Xia's family to let his brother die in the cell, I believe Aunt Xia can still do it.

At that time, where would she go to ask Xia's secret?

She still remembers Su Yue's words before she died in her previous life, saying that she was not her father's daughter at all!

That is, more than ten years ago, there was someone outside Aunt Xia!
