Chapter 44 Doubt

On Ling Qing's way from Yueman West Building to the accountant's room, all kinds of peonies are blooming, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.In this winter, although it won't snow, the cold can kill people.

This flower can still bloom so fragrantly.

I didn't pay too much attention to the past before, but looking at it now, does it look like a city lord's mansion that owes more than 80 gold in foreign debts and lives a difficult life?

"Girl, don't we bring more people?" Zhu Xin remembered that there were several people at the accountant's side, and if they fought, they might not be able to beat them.

Ling Qing smiled: "We're not going to fight."

Ling Qing didn't go directly to the cashier, but to the warehouse.

The accounting room and the warehouse are side by side, lined up.

Therefore, if there is any movement in the warehouse, the accountant will be the first to know.

"Who's there?!" Chen Xing, who was over forty years old, hurried out, and in a blink of an eye, he met Ling Qing's cold black eyes, and he paused: "Gu, why are you here?"

The corner of Ling Qing's lips curled up: "Come and see what good things are in our warehouse."

Chen Xing tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "The keys to this storeroom and accountant's room are all with Nanny Chen. If the eldest girl wants to see it, she has to go and tell Madam. Madam tells Nanny Chen that the warehouse can be opened."

"Madam? Where is the Madam?"

Chen Xing shut his mouth in fright when Ling Qing questioned him.

Unfortunately, he hadn't gotten used to Jiang Qing's status as the city lord's wife, so he forgot to change his words for a while.

"Miss, calm down, it's an old slave who is stupid, so I should call you Aunt Jiang." If it were before, he would have already slapped Ling Qing's left cheek so high.

Now without the background of Jiang Qing, he dare not act recklessly.

Ling Qing adhered to the principle of not hitting anyone with a smiling face when reaching out, so he didn't care about Chen Xing for the time being.

"Isn't it just the key!" Ling Qing took out the key and waved it in front of Chen Xing's eyes.This is the key to the warehouse that she and Xu An took before she decided to come to the accounting room to find out.

After finishing the words, Ling Qing directly inserted the key into the door hole, and with a click, the warehouse door opened.

Chen Xing was startled, turned his head and glanced behind him, hoping that someone would come over at this time, when his younger brother Chen Chang just happened to come.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Chen Chang's gaze fell on Ling Qing who entered the door. He ignored the ledger in his hand, turned around and ran towards Bihuayuan.

Ling Qing naturally noticed the small movements of the two of them, but her attention was already startled by the two-thirds empty warehouse.

In an [-]-square-meter room, except for the shelves and tables, there are only [-] square meters of space left to put things.

Most of the baskets occupying an area of ​​one square meter are still empty. What else can be placed in the remaining ten square meters?
Chen Xing saw Ling Qing's downcast face, wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead, and quickly explained: "Girl, the most valuable things in the warehouse have been pawned to buy medicine for the city lord. The years I spent were all supported by the things in the warehouse."

"How many taels have been pawned, have you ever calculated it?" Ling Qing turned around and looked at Chen Xing expressionlessly: "Is it entered in the account book?"

Chen Xing avoided Ling Qing's gaze: "In, there is a storage account book."

"I'm asking about the outbound ledger, do you have it?"

"At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just pawned money and went back to ask the doctor to buy medicine."

Ling Qing sneered, and didn't intend to waste time chasing responsibility, he just said: "Show me the storage account book."

Chen Xing never thought that Ling Qing would have such an oppressive and breathless coercion, he didn't have time to think about any worries, so he stumbled to the accountant.

It was only when I came back to my senses that I realized whether I was stupid!
Then I deliberately searched for it for a long while, and at the same time I was secretly scolding Chen Chang, why it took so long to invite the young master.

Since Ling Zhao started buying land in Beiliang four years ago, all the gold, silver and jewels in the accountant and warehouse have been put into his pockets, and after a few years of squandering, there is only the rest, barely supporting the expenses of the mansion.

A few days ago, the 10,000+ silver coins sent by Xu Xiaozheng were squandered by Ling Zhao, and there was not much left.Ling Zhao will come to get the rest of the money.

What a coincidence, just as Ling Zhao asked someone to take away the remaining money, Ling Qing came.

Ling Qing moved from the warehouse to the account room, sat in Chen Xing's seat, and glanced boredly at the few servants who seemed to be cleaning the account room.

Their eyes were not only curious, but also vigilant.

Zhu Xin stood by and kept his gaze on the servants, ready to defend at any time.

Seeing her, Ling Qing patted the back of Zhu Xin's hand, signaling her to relax and not to be too nervous.

When more than half of the time passed, Chen Xing had no choice but to hand over the storage account book to Ling Qing before anyone came.

After she took it, she flipped through it casually for a while, and she memorized the records of who gave and who bought.

It can even be said backwards.

Ling Qing closed the ledger, glanced at the door inadvertently, there was only sunshine outside, and there was no shadow of a flying insect.

Why hasn't Ling Zhao arrived yet?

He hates other people touching his things the most, especially the gold, silver and jewelry that he cares about the most.

"Where is Ling Qing? Get out of here!" A male voice shouted from outside, and came in.

Apart from Ling Zhao, there is no other young man in this mansion who dares to be so arrogant.

The moment Ling Zhao appeared at the door, Ling Qing met Ling Zhao's unrestrained eyes with a smile.But the other party narrowed his eyes, as if he was making a final appraisal of the elder sister whom he hadn't seen in five years.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for so long, why don't you call big sister to come and listen?" Ling Qing's bright smiling face made Ling Zhao tremble uncontrollably.

The childhood shame suddenly rushed into his mind.

"Brother, come here and give big sister a pinch."

Three-year-old Ling Zhao walked up to Ling Qing ignorantly, her chubby cheeks were pinched so that the left part became red, and the right part burst into red.

"Brother, come here and give Big Sister a pinch of Little Butt Tiger."

Seven-year-old Ling Zhao timidly walked up to Ling Qing, raised his baby face as if death was at home, but the pain came from Xiaopihu.

"Brother, come over to Big Sister, I have a surprise for you."

Ten-year-old Ling Zhaofan gave Ling Qing a grimace, turned around and ran away, but within half a step, someone kicked his ass, and his handsome face hit the ground hard.When he raised his head, two lines of blood and tears flowed from his nose.

Ling Zhao was startled, and subconsciously hid behind the servant Mingcheng.

He hated hearing Ling Qing call his brother the most!

Because these two words indicate that he will be abused by Ling Qing next.

It was simply the scariest and most heinous nightmare of his childhood.

"You are a devil!" Ling Zhao hid behind the valet and scolded, "I tell you Ling Qing, this is the outer courtyard, not a place for a woman like you."

Ling Qing sneered, Ling Zhao was still the annoying Ling Zhao.

Ever since I was a child, I like to blame my big sister for my mistakes.

At first, Ling Qing didn't care about it, but later Ling Zhao took it for granted that she didn't care about it.Mistakes followed one after another and became bigger and bigger.

The three concubines that Jiang Qing gave to Ling Chengtian were spoiled by him and blamed on her.

That's why Ling Zhao said that he was 'tortured'.Because Ling Qing doesn't care if he is younger than her, just teach him a lesson.

But what surprised Ling Qing was that Ling Zhao liked Ling Han, the second elder sister, very much. He would never blame her for mistakes, and would leave her with the best things, and even obeyed her orders.

Ling Qing crossed her arms: "I'm here, what can you do?"

"You bullied my mother and my second sister. If you bully me again, I will make you die!"

Ling Qing squinted: "What are you talking to me? Brother."

Ling Zhao was shocked: "Shut up! Who is your brother! I don't have a murderer like you who likes to abuse children!"

"Oh? A murderer who abused children?" Ling Qing sneered, "This is the latest crime you're going to charge me with, isn't it?"

Ling Qing took one step forward, Ling Zhao took one step back, she took two steps, and he took two steps back
"You are not allowed to come here, or I will drag you out and beat you to death!" Ling Zhao's words became more and more vicious, in stark contrast to his cute childhood.

"Brother, do you know how disgusting your current appearance is?" Ling Qing said with a look of regret.

"You are the one who makes people sick!"

"Really? Then come here, and I will let you know what disgusting is."

"I don't want it!" Seeing that Ling Qing kept walking towards him, Ling Zhao had no choice but to run away.

Chen Xing's face on the side was so broken that he couldn't break it anymore. Is this the arrogant and domineering second son?

Ling Qing didn't move on, but stopped at the spot and looked at Ling Zhaoyuan's back, lost in thought.
