Chunyu moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, the owner of the herbal medicine shop stood in front of Xie Xueqing.
The other party's surname is Zhang, and he was recruited by Xie Xueqing after he took control of the Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing her raise her head, the man's wrinkled face instantly formed a flattering smile, and he said respectfully, "I wonder what Madam wants to see me about?"
Xie Xueqing placed the account book in front of the other party and said, "I want to know where the remaining money went."
Just a few words made the old man in front of him turn pale in an instant.
He opened his mouth, but it took him a long time to utter a word.
"I don't know either. Usually the old lady comes directly to get it."
Yan Jin, who was lying on the bed eating melon, suddenly started mumbling in her heart.
[Bah, this old guy, how could he not know! ]
[This guy not only knew how the old lady got the money, but he also embezzled a lot of it!]
[And this old bastard, who was so ugly, hid the money under the bed of his mistress.]
[It's a shame his wife works so hard to run the household, yet this bastard keeps saying he has no money.]
Hearing her daughter's inner voice, Xie Xueqing's mouth twitched involuntarily.
She didn't expect that the seemingly honest shopkeeper in front of her actually had a mistress outside.
"Really? The medicinal materials were paid from you, and now you can't even figure out this little detail. You don't need to be the shopkeeper anymore."
"Pack up and get out!"
Xie Xueqing had given the other party a chance, but since he refused to speak, he could just get out.
"Madam! I really don't know what the old lady did with all that money. She only allowed me to take medicinal herbs and then recorded it as 500 taels in my expenses."
"I, I am innocent!"
After saying that, Zhang Yong knelt down straight. His skinny face was now completely wrinkled, looking extremely ugly.
At this moment, Zhang Yong felt very unlucky.
He originally thought that by getting on board the old lady's big ship, he would definitely have a good life in the future, but he didn't expect that he would be found out in less than a year.
What's going on with Madam Xie? Didn't she always ignore the old lady's accounts before? Why is she suddenly checking again?
Could it be that the other party has already discovered it!
After swallowing his saliva, Zhang Yong felt a growing ominous premonition in his heart.
Yan Jin listened silently to the other party's plea for mercy and couldn't help but mutter a few words.
[Alas, it's already come to this, and you still haven't confessed the truth!]
"But my mother has always been kind to her servants. She'll definitely think dismissal is the best punishment! Who could have imagined that he would hold such a grudge in the future?"
Thinking of this, Yan Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Xie Xueqing was listening attentively to her daughter's thoughts, and originally thought that her daughter would think about the next step.
But I didn’t expect that it would stop after hearing this!
Xie Xueqing glanced at her fair and tender daughter, feeling depressed. Why did this child stop talking in the middle of something?
[If a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable! ]
If Mother could just knock this guy down so that he couldn't get up, there wouldn't be any trouble in the future.
Just as Xie Xueqing was feeling depressed, a familiar voice sounded in her mind again.
Hearing her daughter's evaluation of herself again, she lowered her eyes and reflected for a moment.
Indeed, I have been too nice to these people!
I used to think that if I treated others sincerely, others would treat me sincerely. But now it seems that I don’t deserve it.
Looking at Zhang Yong who was still kneeling on the ground, Xie Xueqing said calmly, "Are you sure everything you said is true? Or are you hiding something?"
Seeing that her way of handling the matter was basically the same as how she handled others before, Wang Yong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Madam, I swear I won't hide anything anymore!"
Seeing the other party's sincerity, if Xie Xueqing had not been able to hear her daughter's inner thoughts, she would have almost believed it.
She turned to look at Chun Yu who was standing beside her. "Go, tie him up, and tell everyone in the mansion that this is the consequence of betrayal. Then take people to search her lover's place. Maybe they can find something useful."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Chunyu tied up the shopkeeper with a cold face, and his movements were clean and quick.
Then, he grabbed the other person's collar and kicked him to the door.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard Xie Xueqing's voice again.
"Also, call his wife over!"
At this moment, Zhang Yong finally realized that the other party already knew everything and that this was just his last chance.
Zhang Yong was about to scream for help, but Chunyu pulled his smelly socks off and stuffed them into his mouth.
A sour and stinky smell spread in his mouth, and Zhang Yong's eyes became completely gloomy.
At this moment, he knew that his life was over.
Soon, the news spread throughout the mansion, and at the same time, it also reached the old lady of the mansion.
The old lady was chanting Buddhist scriptures while twirling the beads in her hand. When she heard the news, she immediately glared at the nanny who had been following her.
"How's Nanny Wang, the one I asked you to investigate last time? Why is there still no news?"
"Now this kind of thing has happened again, how do you do things!"
After being scolded by the old lady, the old lady immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, her eyes full of fear and her body trembling uncontrollably.
Having been with the old lady for so long, she certainly knew her methods.
"Forget about that bunch of useless trash. Go and thoroughly investigate what happened today."
