Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 97
Glazed Agate spent two sticks of incense arranging all the accounts, copied down all the differences between the two account books, and handed them to the old lady.

After reading it carefully, the old lady was filled with anger. After handing the paper to Lin Yanqing, she cursed at Liu Jie.

"What a good Liu Jie! When I asked you just now, I swore that I was absolutely truthful! How dare you lie like this in front of us! Agate handed him the account book copied by Shopkeeper Zhou to look at!"

Liu Jie took the account book handed over by Agate, and after just flipping through a few pages, his face turned pale: It's over, it's over this time.

After reading it, Lin Yanqing handed the bill to Lin Siyuan. Lin Jinan and Lin Jinyan also came to Lin Siyuan and looked at it.

Lin Yanqing said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Zhou got up to speak, Liu Jie, do you have anything else to say? If you want to continue to resist, that's okay. Shopkeeper Zhou's account book clearly states that the purchaser has written it down. It's only been two years. Asking each one You can always distinguish between true and false. Are you going to tell the truth now? Or are you going to send it to the official for investigation?"

Liu Jie came to his senses after hearing this, and kowtowed repeatedly on the ground.

"Please be merciful, Taifu! Don't send this villain to the official position! I will tell you honestly that shopkeeper Zhou's account book is true. It is indeed the villain who was greedy for profit and took away the money in the shop. After the villain was hired as the shopkeeper by the second lady, not only did he If you don't appreciate the Second Madam's kindness and do something that damages the Second Madam's face, you really deserve death."

Listening to Liu Jie's tearful confession, Lin Yanqing remained unmoved with a cold tone.

"You mean, you are the only one responsible for the Baiyinqin business? The second lady didn't know anything about it?"

Liu Jie: "That's it. The villain is greedy for money and is willing to plead guilty and be punished. I ask the master to remember that the villain is a first offender and sincerely repentant, so that he can be lenient to the villain."

Lin Yanqing snorted coldly: "How dare you act like a traitor and beg for mercy? It's unclear whether you are a first offender, but if it weren't for this irrefutable account book, how could you have confessed and repented?!"

Liu Jie was lying on the ground in silence. Lin Song walked in and said respectfully: "Old Master, Old Madam, the Second Master and the Second Madam have returned home."

Lin Yanqing: "Call them over."

"Yes."

Lin Jinyan followed Lin Song outside the house: "Uncle Song, just go and invite your second uncle and second aunt. I have something to ask you."

Lin Song nodded in agreement, ordered his servants to go to Xiyuan, turned to Lin Jinyan and smiled: "Miss, please tell me."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "Did someone want to leave the house just now?"

"Miss Yue Xue is smart. Someone wants to leave the house, but it is not from Xiyuan. It is Dong'er who is next to Miss Yuexue. He said he wanted to leave the house to buy something, but was blocked by the concierge."

Lin Jinyan nodded: "My cousin is going out to buy something important at this time. I asked Songbo to keep the door open because he was afraid that talkative people would go out and ruin the reputation of my second aunt. Grandpa and the others will let them go after they have finished dealing with it. Don't delay me, cousin. There are old people in Songmao Hall who know the rules and won't say anything. The concierge asked Uncle Song to tell them not to say anything."

Lin Song smiled and said, "Yes, Miss has really grown up and behaves appropriately."

Lin Jinyan smiled and asked Lin Song about some purchasing matters for the house. Lin Song knew that the old man and Lin Siyuan intended to cultivate Lin Jinyan's headmaster, so he talked to Lin Jinyan in detail.

The two of them were serious about teaching, and the other was serious about studying. Time passed very quickly.

It wasn't until Lin Jinyan saw a figure moving outside the door of Songmao Hall that she stopped talking to Lin Song, said goodbye with a smile and returned to the hall.
