Chapter 527

Whenever money is involved, there are bound to be people who jump over the edge.

Recently, Cui Shangshu has been extremely annoyed because of this matter, but the culprit is just like someone who has nothing to do. He checks, reads, and settles accounts every day. As long as he "Hey~" something must be wrong, the entire household department is afraid to come out now, just I was afraid that someone would "catch" me in a restaurant, and I was in a dilemma.

The day ended a little late. Li Hui looked up and saw that no one was leaving. He stretched his waist with a smile and said:
"Master Cui, you can go to the Ministry of War to ask for money tomorrow."

"What money do you want?"

Li Hui nodded to the person next to him, who quickly picked up the account book and went over.

The seven people who were trained by his devilish methods are now completely submissive and do not dare to mess around.

After a while, Cui Shangshu frowned and beat the drum in his heart. The accounts seemed to be directed to the Ministry of War, but in fact they were entirely directed to Zhenyuan Marquis. He himself turned a blind eye to some accounts, but he didn't expect that Li Hui would reveal them all now.

"Master Cui, if you get this money back, you can take care of the martial arts exam. It won't be in vain for us people to work hard these days, don't you think?"

Looking at Li Hui who spoke seriously, Cui Shangshu felt troubled. Just when he didn't know what to do, his hands were empty and the account books were gone.

"you……"

"I'm afraid that my lord will forget the account book at home tomorrow, so it's safer for me to take it and give it to you tomorrow. I'll go back first, and you can go home early and rest."

After Li Hui finished speaking, he slightly cupped his hands, turned around and strode away.

The few people under his command, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they all left. After these few days of running-in, they have completely figured out Li Hui's temper. As long as you do your job well, you can do whatever you want to do at other times, and your boss will not ask about it at all.

Cui Shangshu stood there for a long time, and finally waved to Chang Sui and murmured:
"Go back and get my court clothes and tell my wife that I won't be going home today."

"Yes."

He didn't go home, so other people in the household department who left late did not dare to leave, and asked Chang Sui to go home to report the news.

The entire household was brightly lit for the whole night, which successfully made several high-ranking households in the capital fearful and distraught.

At the imperial court, even if Cui Shangshu didn't want to, he had to take the account book and present it to the emperor.

It contains detailed records of the source and time of every payment made by the Ministry of War. Most of them are accounts incurred by Su Zhen when he was stationed in the northern military camp. What is even more interesting is that the cold-proof supplies are 50,000 taels of snowflake silver every year.

Yan Yunchen knew that this was a signal from Li Hui.

He handed the account book to Yan Jing and ordered the eldest prince to investigate it and the Ministry of War to assist. As for what was written in the account book, no one knew, but if the Ministry of War was asked to assist, it was obvious that the account belonged to the Ministry of War.

This is equivalent to a signal, a signal that alerts the other four departments. The several ministers looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, with their brows furrowed.

There was a tense situation in the court, but Cheng Xue was content and happy in the villa.

Especially when Bai Zian brought Shuangxi back and told her that she wanted to get married, this was a great thing.

She encouraged everyone in the house to find their own destiny and also encouraged them to have children.

As a human being, all we want is stability.

"You two are in love, so I naturally have no objection. Now that Shuangxi is back, you will take care of the newly opened quilt shop. Remember to find Tiandong when you return to the city. Where are you going to live? Have you thought about it?"

"Back to Madam, I have discussed with Shuangxi that we will live in the backyard of the dim sum house. There are always slaves on duty there, so I can feel more at ease with him."

"Okay, just live over there. I'll ask Tian Dong's people to come over and clean up. I'll pick a day after the Dragon Boat Festival to get you married."

"Thank you, madam." Shuangxi nodded hurriedly and thanked her, smiling like a haha.

Bai Zian lowered his eyes shyly and said nothing, but his attitude was completely acquiescing. After finishing the matter, Cheng Xue sent them back to rest. They had to rest for a few days after a tiring journey.

Just when Cheng Xue was thinking about how to prepare a dowry for her, the manager of the village came over in a hurry, bowed his hands and said:
"Madam, Mrs. Su is here."

Mrs. Su?
Although Cheng Xue was confused, she still nodded and motioned for him to take people to the living room.

After a while, an old man with gray hair and a red face came in. The person who supported her was the wife of the Su family, whom Cheng Xue had met once before.

"It's really hard to see Mrs. Li. I'm sending messages and asking people, but I've finally seen her face."

Mrs. Su sat down as she spoke, without even looking at Cheng Xue the whole time.

Cheng Xue doesn't care about this. If you don't respect me, then I don't need to respect you.

"Mrs. Su's words are serious. I don't think you've seen me too. It shows that I'm not assertive enough. If you always want to talk to me about anything, just tell me. Our relationship doesn't reach the level of gossip."

Mrs. Su was startled by Cheng Xue's calm words. When she turned around to take a closer look, she paused and the teacup accidentally hit the ground and made a sound.

"mother."

Mrs. Su quickly stood up and walked forward. Mrs. Su suddenly stood up, took two steps back and pointed at Cheng Xue with her index finger in the air, saying:

"Cheng Shuang?!"

Although this was the first time she heard this name, Cheng Xue had already guessed the identity of the original person.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su quickly pinched her mother-in-law and reminded her softly:
"Are you dazzled, mother? This is Mrs. Li, mother didn't come here just for..."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Xue interrupted with a smile:
"Who is Cheng Shuang? Did the old lady recognize the wrong person? My maiden name is Yu, my husband's surname is Li, and there is no one with the surname Cheng."

"No, no, no, no, you are not Cheng Shuang. She will not be as rude as you."

"Really!" Cheng Xue stood up and walked towards the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law step by step, "Just because she is polite, so you bully her unscrupulously? Just because she is polite, so you rely on her old age to make things difficult for him? Just because she is Be polite..."

"Shut up - you don't know anything, why are you talking nonsense here? She is obviously engaged to my son, but for..."

"Mother...well——"

Mrs. Su's next words were not spoken, as Bai Wei covered them with her hands. Mrs. Su was completely quiet at this moment, biting her lower lip, filled with regret.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Cheng Xue smacked her tongue and shook her head, looked at Bai Wei with disgust and said:

"What did you do? I covered her mouth so long ago. Couldn't I still hear more things?"

Bai Wei was also a little ashamed. She said, "I am guilty," and stopped talking.

After the two men's actions, Mrs. Su immediately understood that she had been tricked.

Waiting for Cheng Xue with gritted teeth, he said angrily:
"Don't think that Sheng Chong is a good thing. It can make you forget yourself, and it can also make you fall so hard that you can't help yourself."

"Hey, this old man is awesome. He knows how to single-bet. Do I have to give you a skr?"

"you--"

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"
