The Master of the Prefecture [6]
âFather, you donât need to worry about this. I will definitely try my best to learn about this and donât make a tantrum out of it.â Huang Bei Yue interrupted Xiao Yuan Chengâs words. That look was as though a sensible, well-mannered, obedient daughter!
Xiao Yuan Cheng had no words to say. In his heart, he was thinking about quickly moving his properties that he had accumulated many years away to someplace else. This girl had just first started to look at the account book. What can she see from this? Housekeeper Zhou wasnât someone to be reckoned with either!
However, Xiao Yuan Chengâs calculations about Huang Bei Yue were inaccurate. If she was someone to hold information against someone else from the account book then she would be too weak!
Huang Bei Yue already let Dong Ling go out and deliver some words, letting the housekeeper Zhou bring over all the account books there were in the prefecture. That housekeeper Zhou was a smart person. He secretly glanced at Concubine Xue and Qinâs tragic looks and Xiao Yuan Chengâs helplessness before letting someone grab them.
Normally, when he made the accounts, he was very detailed. After all, he was betting that a twelve-year-old girl wouldnât be able to see anything from this!
The account books werenât here yet but Huang Bei Yue quietly said another couple sentences to Dong Ling. Dong Ling smiled, walking out. No one knew what she wanted to do and no one dared to follow out.
Quickly, housekeeper Zhou had brought the account books over. He personally brought it over, giving it to Huang Bei Yue. There a tall stack of account books, letting people have a headache when they had seen it.
Huang Bei Yue casually flipped over one book, flipping over a couple of pages. Although she hadnât seen the ancient timeâs account books after all her wisdom was still the rank of a genius. In modern times, for tasks, she had dipped into economics. Therefore, this account book, she looked at it for a couple of seconds and knew what was going on.
This housekeeper Zhou was worthy of being a careful person. On the account book, he had made it so not a single drop of water could leak out, not even a spiderâs thread could be seen from this.
No wonder Concubine Qin had bought him, making him her trusted aide.
On one hand, she drank tea and on the other hand, she slowly looked through the account book. In the front hall, there were many pairs of eyes staring at her, waiting for her to say something. However, she said nothing as though she was really concentrated in looking through the account book.
Concubine Qin had been soaked in the lotus pond the whole day then get frightened. Now, she was unable to sit down anymore. Her body was rocking and her face was pale white.
Xiao Zhong Qi watched: âThird sister, if you are going to look through the account books then look through them. We will go back first.â
Huang Bei Yue raised her head to stare at him, lazily exclaiming: âElder brother, today we are discussing family matters. In Concubine Qinâs hands, she had taken care of many account books as well. She cannot be absent.â
Xiao Zhong Qi was about to open his mouth when suddenly, Dong Ling was outside yelling: âJust place it here!â
Everyone was stunned, not sure what had happened. They all turned their heads around to watch, only to see Dong Ling ordering people to carry a couple of huge boxes into the yard.
There were a couple of tens of boxes, all locked with locks. There was no clue as to what was inside the boxes.
Housekeeper Zhou turned his head around to look and suddenly his face changed. He quickly walked out: âYou, what are you guys doing? This is my possession. How come you guys are carrying this out?!â
Dong Ling lifted her head, grinning: âWe naturally know these are housekeeper Zhouâs possessions. If there was nothing that couldnât be seen, is it not okay to open it for everyone to see?â
âNo!â Housekeeper Zhouâs face was red, angry but also afraid. âThese are my personal items. Princess cannot casually just look through my personal items right!â
âPersonal items?â Dong Ling raised her eyebrows. She glanced at the tens of boxes: âHouskeeper Zhouâs personal items, donât you think itâs rather too much? Forgive me for saying something not pleasing to the ears but I heard that within our prefectureâs storage, it had always been lacking resources. I have suspicions that someone is stuffing their pockets of the resources. If housekeeper Zhou is open and candid, then take the lead and show everyone what things you have!â
