Gu Qinlan smiled slightly: "Hongye, I just noticed something strange. Among these medicinal herbs, several are particularly expensive. Do you know why?"

Hongye pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam, I know you are concerned about the quality of the medicinal herbs. However, these herbs are very precious, and their price is naturally high."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly: "I know, but these fees are just too high. I suspect someone has tampered with them."

A flash of anger crossed Hongye's eyes: "Miss Gu, I understand. I will continue to investigate this matter and find the real culprit."

Gu Qinlan gently patted Hongye's shoulder: "You've worked hard, Hongye. This matter concerns the reputation of the Duan Prince's Mansion, and we must get to the bottom of it."

Hongye nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering determination: "Miss Gu, rest assured, I will definitely find out the truth."

"Hongye, what do you think we should do?" Gu Qinlan put down the ledger and looked at Hongye with a determined gaze.

Hongye pondered for a moment, then said, "Master, I think we should immediately investigate the origins of these accounts. Find the people who embezzled and make them return all the money they stole."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly; she thought so too. "Okay, let's do it this way. First, we need to audit all the accounts and find all the unreasonable expenditures. Then, we need to investigate these expenditures and find out who is embezzling them."

Upon hearing this, Hongye immediately nodded in agreement. This task was extremely difficult, and she understood Gu Qinlan's determination.
