The Queen's Concubine can't be provoked

Chapter 170 Questioning (Part [-])
"What did you say?" Suddenly, Shen sat up from the soft couch, "Why did she arrest Guanshi Zhang and Madam Wan?"

Shen was very puzzled. For so many years, she had been using Zhang Guanshi and Wan Momo. Although Wan Momo had a lot of problems, she was absolutely obedient to herself, so she kept her all the time. As for Guanshi Zhang, that is a shrewd person. He has been with him for so long, and he has hardly made any serious mistakes, except that he is a bit seductive...

No... People are a bit nice... Could it be?
A bad premonition rose in Shen's heart, she looked at Wang Nanny, hoping that what Wang Nanny said had nothing to do with her own thoughts, but unfortunately, this matter could not go as she wished.

Seeing Mrs. Chen looking at her, Mrs. Wang spoke, and what she said made Mrs. Shen tremble with anger, "Just now the second lady took the account book to the kitchen to find Mrs. Wan, but she found that Mrs. Wan was not there. The second miss asked the kitchen The servant girl, and then found Wan Momo, and just happened to bump into Zhang Guanshi and Wan Momo..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Momo knew that Shen must understand what she meant. She looked at Shen and asked with a worried face, "Ma'am, what should we do now?"

"This worthless thing! Isn't the money earned enough? You must come to eat the grass by the side of the nest!" He picked up the teacup on the small table beside him and threw it on the ground. At this moment, Shen's heart was a little confused.

You know, whether it is Guanshi Zhang or Madam Wan, they are extremely important people to the Shen family now. After all, Su Qin has started to intervene in the affairs of the prime minister's mansion. Shen must ensure that the important positions in the mansion are all her own. This way she will always be in a favorable position.

But now, Guanshi Zhang and Madam Wan have accidents at the same time, and both of them occupy very important positions in the mansion. In this way, it is tantamount to breaking Shen's left and right arm, and she wants to replace these two positions with her own. Man, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

Looking at Shen's appearance, Wang Momo knew that she was nauseated, and she wanted to persuade her, but this time the incident was really incomparable to the previous ones, and she really didn't know what to say to make Shen's feel better.

"Qi, Ma'am, Second Miss, please go to the front hall." The atmosphere in the room was very dull, just when Shen Shi was trying to calm herself down, the voice of the servant girl came from outside the room.

Shen knew that she would have to face it after all.She bit her lip and reached out to touch her lower abdomen. Now, she can only use this trick!

After taking a few deep breaths, Mrs. Shen responded, and she asked Nanny Wang to wash herself up briefly, then she supported Nanny Wang's hand and walked towards the front hall.

Along the way, Mrs. Shen didn't speak. Nanny Wang peeked at Mrs. Shen. Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down a lot, she knew that she had an idea in mind.

Because Su Qin ordered people to invite all the masters in the mansion, apart from Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su Yunhai, and even Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Li all received the news.

Mrs. Mei was leaning on the soft couch to embroider. Hearing the news, Mrs. Mei put down the embroidery frame in her hand, cleaned up the bronze mirror carefully, and then took the magpie to the front hall.

When Mrs. Li heard the news, she was copying Buddhist scriptures. She responded lightly, and wanted to get up, but her hand shook, and the ink on the pen tip dripped on the rice paper. She glanced at the ink-stained rice paper , and then walked to the front hall with the maid.

Mrs. Su and Su Yunhai arrived together. When Su Qin sent someone there, Su Yunhai happened to be in Mrs. Su's yard. Hearing the news that Su Qin invited them to the front hall, Su Yunhai stepped forward to help Su Madam, the two of them left the yard together.

As soon as everyone entered the front hall, they saw Guanshi Zhang and Madam Wan kneeling on the ground. Their clothes were a little messy at this moment, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Su Qin saluted Mrs. Su and Su Yunhai first, and then opened her mouth, "Speaking of which, I have been learning how to manage a prime minister's house for a while, but I am young after all. Some things may not be done very well, so I invite all the elders to come today, because there is something I want to ask for advice."

As soon as Su Qin's words fell, Madam Su's voice sounded, "When did you ask, although I haven't asked about the affairs of this house for a long time, after all, I have taken care of it for many years."

When Mrs. Su spoke, it was equivalent to expressing her attitude. A smile appeared on Su Qin's face, and then she continued to speak.

"These two people, one is the steward in charge of purchasing in the mansion, and the other is the steward in charge of the kitchen. No matter which mansion they are placed in, these two are very important positions." Ordering someone to bring up the ledger, Su Qin casually opened one , "This is the ledger of purchases. On the surface, the ledger is very strict and seems to be no problem, but if you look closely, you will find that the prices of many things are simply ridiculously high."

"If it was before, I might not have noticed this problem. After all, I am usually in the prime minister's mansion and I don't go out for a walk, but now it is different. I have a family where food is the sky. It is a restaurant, and I also have all the books. I have seen it before, so I know the prices of many things."

"Take meat as an example. Pork can't exceed thirty yuan at most, but the pork on this account book is fifty yuan. Let's take eggs for example. Five yuan is enough to buy a few. Unfortunately, this account book is Five cents each. Manager Zhang, I wonder where you got these prices from?"

While talking, Suqin threw the ledger in front of Guanshi Zhang. Guanshi Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the ledger thrown in front of him with a very ugly expression.

After listening to Su Qin's words, Shen looked at Guanshi Zhang wishing to kill him, because Guanshi Zhang had always been very strict in keeping accounts before, and although the prices of things were a little higher, they were not too outrageous, so The few times she looked at the account book, Shen didn't read it too carefully, and she didn't expect such a mess to happen.

Before Shen's anger was exhausted, Suqin spoke again, "Besides, the kitchen account book, I noticed a few days ago that there are records in the account book for food that obviously didn't appear on the table, so take it Speaking of last night, I remember that there were no bamboo shoots at this time, right? And did anyone eat it last night?"

"It's freezing cold at this time, where did you get the bamboo shoots? Anyway, I didn't eat them last night." Mei covered her lips and smiled, and said to Su Qin.

"I didn't eat last night either." Li-shi said slowly, with no expression on his face.

Seeing that Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Li both spoke, Suqin looked at Madam Wan, the smile on her face subsided, "Since it is something that doesn't exist in this season, can Madam Wan explain why it appears in the ledger? What about above?"

　Dear friends, remember to vote for recommendation!
