After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 142 Your Lordship’s Account Book

Seeing that Wei Ma didn't understand the harm involved, Qing'er immediately explained angrily, "Our wife has already donated more than one million taels of silver to the Marquis' Mansion.

"The Marquis has led his troops out to battle again. We probably won't be able to move back for another month, so the craftsmen really don't need to rush the work."

The housekeeper also heard that Gu Wei appointed Xu Rui as the general of national defense and sent him to war.

"No matter when the Marquis and his wife move back, this mansion must be repaired first. I urge them to repair the mansion as soon as possible, so that the Marquis and his wife can move back in at any time."

Jiang Xiyu nodded and continued, "Before the Marquis left the capital, he told me something. I need to get some things for him."

Jiang Xiyu said this and took Qing'er and Nanny Wei to the study.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly followed and said, "But the Marquis's study is guarded by guards. Ordinary people can't enter the Marquis's study at all."

Jiang Xiyu immediately glanced at the housekeeper with displeasure, "Am I an ordinary person?"

The housekeeper was speechless and didn't dare to say anything more. He just followed Jiang Xiyu closely.

As soon as they arrived at the study and had not yet entered the yard, they were stopped by the guards guarding the yard.

Jiang Xiyu immediately became furious and shouted, "You are blind, don't you see who I am? How dare anyone stop me?"

When the guard saw that it was Jiang Xiyu, he thought of how much Xu Rui valued Jiang Xiyu during this period of time, and immediately put away his weapon and saluted Jiang Xiyu, saying, "Madam."

Jiang Xiyu didn't have the heart to waste time talking to them, so she walked around them and went straight to the study, but she had just taken a step when she was stopped by the guards.

"Go away." Jiang Xiyu said coldly.

The guard did not give in and still stood in front of her, "Madam, no one can enter his study without the Marquis's order."

"What if I must go in today?"

The guards were stunned for a moment by the sharp aura emanating from Jiang Xiyu, but they remained firm and refused to compromise. "I hope Madam will not embarrass me."

Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything, but just winked at Qing'er. Qing'er stepped forward and pushed the guards. Jiang Xiyu took advantage of this gap and strode straight in.

Seeing this, another guard stepped forward to stop him, but Nanny Wei stepped forward to block his way.

The guard shouted in surprise from behind, "Madam, you can't go in."

But because he was stopped by Qing'er and Wei Ma, he couldn't use force against them, so he could only watch Jiang Xiyu go in.

Jiang Xiyu had just walked into the study when a loud voice came from behind, "Madam, please stay."

Jiang Xiyu turned around in surprise and saw Deji, who was supposed to go on the expedition with Xu Rui, appear in the yard.

Soon, Deji came to her.

"Didn't you go to the North with Xu Rui?"

Deji walked up to Jiang Xiyu and said with his eyes lowered, "Madam, I was left by the Marquis to protect you."

He had been on the road for half a day when Xu Rui, for some reason, asked him to go back and stay in the mansion to protect Jiang Xiyu.

However, it seems that it was a good idea for Xu Rui to let him come back. Otherwise, if Jiang Xiyu broke into the study, something serious might happen.

Jiang Xiyu was very surprised, but she didn't have time to think about it. She said directly, "Since you came at the right time, I want to go into the study now. Do you have any objection?"

Deji frowned slightly, glanced at the guards who were stopped, and then looked at Jiang Xiyu's tough attitude, and Deji fell silent.

Judging from Jiang Xiyu's attitude, she is determined to go in today.

In the past, he would have refused directly, but during this period of time, he also saw how much Xu Rui cared about Jiang Xiyu, and he could not afford to offend Jiang Xiyu now.

After thinking about it, Deji finally compromised and said, "Madam, please follow me."

Jiang Xiyu was very surprised. She didn't expect Deji to let her in so easily.

However, since she was allowed to go in, she didn't act pretentiously anymore and followed him in.

After entering, he started searching in the study.

Watching Jiang Xiyu rummaging around, Deji stood in front of the bookshelf without any expression.

"Madam, what are you looking for? I know all the things of the Marquis. I can help you find them."

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and saw Deji's sincere expression. Jiang Xiyu did not hide it from him, "Your Lord's account book."

Deji was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and frowned, "Madam wants the account books of the Marquis's private property."

"Yes." Jiang Xiyu didn't bother to talk nonsense with Deji. "I have something to do. I want to borrow his account book."

Deji looked at Jiang Xiyu's determined look today, and after a moment's hesitation, he went over to the drawer beside the desk and took out a box, handing it to Jiang Xiyu, "This is the account book of the Marquis's property for the past six months."

Jiang Xiyu opened the box and took a look. Seeing that it indeed contained Xu Rui's account book, she let Qing'er take it.

"I need to borrow the account book. It will be delivered tomorrow."

"Madam, please do as you please. The Marquis said that while he is away, you are the one who makes the decisions in the mansion. Everyone in the mansion must obey you."

Deji's two sentences dissipated a lot of the anger in Jiang Xiyu's heart.

"hope so."

After leaving these words, Jiang Xiyu left with Qing'er and Nanny Wei.

Deji frowned and watched Jiang Xiyu walk away, then he immediately called out Jin Wei, "Go and check what the Madam wants the Marquis's account book for."

"Yes." Jin Wei responded and disappeared quietly.

As soon as Jin Wei left, Deji immediately went to the desk, quickly wrote a letter, and sent it out by carrier pigeon.

Jiang Xiyu suddenly became anxious to find Xu Rui's account book, and looked determined to get it. Something must have happened that he didn't know about, and it seemed quite serious.

No matter what, Xu Rong must know about this matter.

Xu Rui just left Beijing today and hasn't gone far. He should be able to hear from him soon and give him new instructions.

As soon as Jiang Xiyu returned to Jingyuyuan, she immediately asked Nanny Wei to start checking Xu Rui's account books.

Nanny Wei immediately began to read it carefully.

Xu Rui's account book was very neat. Nanny Wei spent more than an hour but still couldn't find anything in the account book.

Finally, Madam Wei shook her head helplessly at Jiang Xiyu, "Looking at the account books, the accounts are very smooth and there is no problem at all."

Jiang Xiyu frowned, "Can't even you see it?"

Nanny Wei said helplessly, "The Marquis has kept the accounts very straight. Even if the palace accountant came, he wouldn't find any problems with the accounts."

Jiang Xiyu muttered to herself with mixed feelings, "So, the account books in the Marquis' Mansion were not his work."

She knew Xu Rui's abilities, and if he took action, he would never let her get a hold of him easily.

Just like now, even an accounting expert like Madam Wei can't find any problems with his account books. If he did it, the account books in the Marquis' Mansion would never be so rough, and she wouldn't be able to find any clues.
