Even if things are bad, they're still bad, so Zeng Yu had no choice but to hurry inside with me.

As they walked down the road, the Marquis asked, "Did Xiao Dong have all the account books brought to him?"

Mentioning that, Hongye smiled and said, "Is that so? Steward Cao had Accountant Sun bring it over. Accountant Sun looked extremely unwell. Eldest sister has never seen this Accountant Sun before. He has a long neck, and when he speaks slowly, he swallows his saliva like a little goose."

Gu Jinghui ordered someone to light lanterns and escort us out of the courtyard. Then he said to Zeng Yu, "It's getting late. You should go back to your study to sleep. Does he know that many people have been inspired by Princess Fuyun and sent some bad things out of the mansion? I was thinking of talking to him about it in detail. If he wants to know, he can come to find you first thing tomorrow morning."

The next time Qin Wan comes to see you with Cui Shi, it'll be like she's got a brain disease. In this second life, she'll still be so clueless.

Zeng Yu raised his eyebrows and laughed, "It's just a bluff. If he can make a fuss about the inner courtyard's account books from those years, you can check for any omissions. Then he can check Sun's accountant's accounts and let me see if our Hongye can actually understand them."

Hongye smiled and said, "Accountant Sun said that the account books of such a young man have not been sealed yet. Now that Madam wants to take a look, she must know what she wants to see. If you tell me, I will definitely be of great help."

After chatting for a while, Zeng Yusong raised his teacup and said generously, "The Marquis's mansion is currently in a time of crisis. It is truly an honor for me that Physician Li and his apprentice are willing to come and help. However, since we are drinking alcohol now, I will offer you seven tea instead of wine."

Qin Yuan coughed lightly to remind them not to be presumptuous before sitting down in her seat.
