Concubine Concubine

Chapter 50 The Inner Ghost
Leng Siyan was sitting in the carriage, with a hint of anger on her face, Ziqing said from the side: "Princess, after Mr. Liu came out of the shop, he went to Xizi Hutong. After a conversation, they quarreled, as if they were blaming each other."

"Have you seen clearly the person who is connecting with Mr. Liu?" Leng Siyan asked slowly.

Ziqing looked at her and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Qian'er, the concubine's close maid."

Leng Siyan let out a soft snort, and Ziqing said in a low voice: "I heard that Qian'er said that Mr. Liu didn't handle this matter well, and the two of them quarreled really badly. His tone, it seems that he has cooperated with the side concubine for a long time."

Leng Siyan's hand holding the handkerchief tightened a bit, and Ziqing said angrily: "I really don't understand, this concubine's wife has already controlled all the power in the palace, and the princess is in the palace. She is not favored, so why does she still do this?"

Leng Siyan didn't answer, but she knew very well in her heart that Xiao Mulian did this because she wanted to avenge the past in the gazebo. If her shop was not well managed, she would have no one to eat. After she left the palace, become a beggar.

This Xiao Mulian's strategy is really thoughtful, she has already arranged for her the way forward, not bad, she should be praised, shouldn't she?
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Ziqing jumped out of the carriage first, and then stepped forward to support Leng Siyan, who walked down slowly.

"Ziqing, go and buy me some hibiscus cakes, this concubine is getting hungry!" Leng Siyan said to Ziqing who was beside her when she entered the gate of the palace.

Ziqing nodded, let go of her arm, and winked at the maid beside her. The maid understood, and hurried forward to support Leng Siyan's arm.

After Leng Siyan returned to Youhan Pavilion, she ordered her servants that when Ziqing came back, just tell her to go directly to the room, and others should not disturb her.

In the room, he walked to the desk, took out the account book in his sleeve, laid it flat, and sat down cross-legged, concentrating on looking at the bill records of the store's shipments and purchases in the past few days.

"Princess, the pastry is here." Ziqing pushed open the door, then closed the door again, carrying the pastry she just bought, and placed it in front of the desk. Seeing Leng Siyan looking at the bill, she didn't bother her, and directly Went to do other things.

After a while, Leng Siyan raised her head from the ledger, looked at Ziqing who was embroidering not far away, and called out, "Ziqing, go get me a brush!"

Qin'er put down the needlework in her hand, dropped the ink slurry from the inkstone, dropped into a little water, picked up the ink brush beside the inkstone, and stirred it gently. Ziqing didn't stop until the ink slurry and water were mixed. With the movements of his hands, he put a writing brush hanging on the small stretcher into it, picked up the small inkstone on the desk, walked to Leng Siyan, put down the inkstone, and handed the brush to Leng Siyan's hand.

Leng Siyan took it, drew a stroke on it, pointed to a certain place on the ledger, and looked up at Ziqing, "Look, although there is no problem here, but after careful consideration, you can still see some flaws!"

When Ziqing heard this, she moved her face closer, looked at the place marked with a period, and frowned, "It seems that there is an insider in the store, and this account book has been tampered with."

Leng Siyan nodded and continued to look at the ledger.

"Princess, do you think it's the concubine's wife who asked someone to do it again?" Ziqing suddenly thought of something, and boldly guessed.

Leng Siyan raised her head, looked at Qin'er like this, concentrated for a while, put the account book in her hand, and stood up, "Maybe, let's go, let's listen and find out first!" After finishing speaking, Ziqing opened the door, and the two Then he walked towards Lianyue Garden in Yanyu Pavilion, but the cakes he bought were not touched at all.
