As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 25 What kind of white-eyed wolf
After all, Xie Xingchen is young and has not seen many storms like Dou.

He had never seen Xie Zhaozhao so domineering and unreasonable in his life. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't know how to react.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at her lightly, "Hongxiu, chop this box down."

"Yes."

Hongxiu drew his sword out of its sheath with a clang and slashed it down.

click.

The wooden box cracked in half, and several account books fell out of it.

"Hey, ledger." Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows, spoke softly, and glanced at Xie Xingchen lightly.

At that glance, it seemed as if he was very sorry that he could not continue to cause trouble in Yilan Garden.

"Now that we have found something, let's go." Xie Zhaozhao smiled politely at Xie Xingchen, "Second sister takes good care of the second aunt, and also advises her to be less angry as she gets older, and to cultivate her mind and nature. May your life be extended."

After saying this, Xie Zhaozhao left with a group of martial maids, leaving Yilan Garden in a mess.

……

What Xie Zhaozhao found was the real account book.

When she returned to Chunhe Building, Mrs. Yu had already called all the stewards in the house, and they immediately checked and reconciled the accounts according to the numbers in the ledger.

Xie Zhaozhao sat nearby and stared.

Mrs. Yu was mentally prepared for Mr. Dou to enrich himself, but she was still shocked by the pairing of the ledgers.

Mr. Dou basically uses various names to transfer the money from his father's family every month.

Sometimes it's a few hundred taels, sometimes it's a few thousand or tens of thousands taels.

Not only had Xie Wei's rewards and salary over the years been touched, but the Dou family was also not polite to those sent to the Yu family by King Kaiping from Zhennan.

Yu's eyebrows stood up in anger, and he led the stewards to count the warehouse again.

By the time everything was settled, Yu was furious and her head was buzzing.

Dou has been a housekeeper for more than six years. Judging from the situation on the books and in the warehouse, at least [-]% of the silver treasures have gone into Dou's own pocket.

This is still a conservative estimate.

Xie Zhaozhao stayed with Yu Shi, patted Yu Shi's back gently to help her calm down, and whispered in a low voice: "Take a deep breath, it's not worth it to make yourself so angry."

"Zhaozhao." Yu took a sharp breath and said through gritted teeth, "What kind of white-eyed wolves do you think we have raised over the years?"

She originally thought that even if Mrs. Dou set up a small treasury, it would be to save a little bit of self-esteem for her two children. Everyone has selfish motives, so this is harmless.

Who knew she could be so greedy!
"It's always our money. Whatever she eats it, she spits it out." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "Now that I have settled the account clearly, I will ask for it from her."

Yu Shi didn't think so.

but--

"It can't be that easy. She doesn't even know where to spend her money! And with her crying methods, I'm afraid she will be wronged to death before we even open our mouths."

"It's not like you don't know what kind of temper your father is. When the time comes, he will pick it up high and put it down gently."

"I have my own way." Xie Zhaozhao reassured with a smile, "Don't worry, mother."

Yu was so angry that she didn't have time to think about whether Xie Zhaozhao could do anything. She was filled with regret.

Why have you been so confident in leaving the family to the Dou family all these years?

Because of the accounting problem, Mr. Yu was angry with Xie Wei and was not in a good mood for several days.

Xie Wei is majestic outside, but he is henpecked at home. When his wife is so angry, he naturally turns his tail between his legs with a wink.

He smiles playfully every day, and doesn't ask anything about Yilanyuan.

Go out early and come back late.

Mrs. Yu found trouble several times, and Mrs. Xie Wei was always the best, Mrs. Yingming, Mrs. Shenwu.

In the end, Yu also lost his temper.

Xie Zhaozhao still doesn't go out every day. He stays in his Wangyue Tower. The most common thing he does is sit at the window on the second floor and look at the scenery in the attic yard in trance.

Yun Qi promised to send Ruanjin San, but it never arrived.

Mr. Miao said he was preparing medicine, but no antidote was prepared for this period of time.

Xie Zhaozhao tried to boost his energy every day, but his dantian was empty.As the days passed, I became anxious.

On days without martial arts, she felt uncomfortable all over and felt no sense of security in her heart.

What does this guy Yun Qi mean?
Was he unable to send her in because he was in trouble, or was he simply going back on his word and tricking her?

Da da da.

The sound of embroidered shoes on the stairs sounded.

A moment later, with a squeaking sound, Xianggui brought a plate of exquisite snacks to Xie Zhaozhao, "Miss, you didn't eat much for lunch. Eat some pastries to cushion your stomach."

"no appetite."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't even look at the cake, and frowned slightly.

Xianggui knew that Xie Zhaozhao had lost all his martial arts skills and what happened to Dou's mother and daughter, so she secretly sighed in her heart.

The matter of losing all her martial arts skills was quite sensitive. She didn't dare to comfort him casually, so she had to talk to Yilanyuan.

"Last time, the lady said she wanted to pay back the money." Xianggui asked curiously, "I wonder what the lady plans to do?"

"We have to wait for the opportunity."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "It can't be done by just touching your lips."

"That's true."

Xie Zhaozhao added: "Go check on Dou recently and see who she is close to outside the house."

"The servant understands."

Xie Zhaozhao stopped talking and just stared at the swing in the yard in trance.

She was in a bad mood and had her menstrual period, which made her very lazy. After sitting for a while, she got up and went to rest, without even eating dinner.

He seemed to be dreaming while half asleep and half awake.

Xie Zhaozhao stepped onto the magnificent royal garden corridor, and there was no one around.

The gentle breeze brings warmth and makes people feel comfortable.

As she walked forward, she shouted: "Is anyone there?"

But no one responded to her.

She walked for a while and finally heard someone in front of her smiling softly.

Xie Zhaozhao took a few steps forward quickly.

"Thank you sister!"

From behind the pillar in front, someone suddenly poked his head out and made an exaggerated grimace at her.

Xie Zhaozhao took a breath of fright and patted his chest in shock, "Aqi, what are you doing? You're so scary!"

"Ah, sorry."

The young man was wearing a jade-colored gown and was about fourteen or fifteen years old. When he looked at her, his eyes were gentle and obedient, with a hint of apology in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and patted Xie Zhaozhao on the back.

Xie Zhaozhao calmed down and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"Waiting for you...I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's your expression? In our relationship, do we still need to hesitate when talking? Just say it!"

"Then I'll say it."

The young man pursed his lips hesitantly, his dark and deep eyes full of confusion. After a while, he said, "Don't like Chu Nanxuan and don't marry him, okay?"

Xie Zhaozhao opened his mouth blankly.

The young man seemed to be risking his life and said seriously: "Thank you, sister, I like you."

Everything around him spun and turned into chaos.

Only the young man's eyes were full of deep love, simple yet hot, making people dazzled and intoxicated.

"Aqi..." The person on the bed called softly.

The man in black who jumped through the window just walked to the bed, his steps stagnant.
