Chapter 103 True and False Accounts
The person who spoke was a woman in her forties, with her hair combed meticulously and a clear look in her eyes. Just standing there she looked like someone seeking help.
"The owner of the medicine shop!" Baili Yanqing replied.
The woman's eyes were filled with suspicion: "You don't look like you are from the Yao family."
"Isn't this manor under the name of Zhenguo Xi? How could it belong to the Yao family?" Baili Yanqing asked back.
The woman was not afraid either, and said with some surprise: "Are you from the Baili family? This is too much. In the past, the people who came were all from the Yao family. This time, the Dong family finally came."
As she spoke the last part, the woman's voice became choked with sobs, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice in the past.
"Who are you to the pharmacy?"
"I'm in charge of purchasing. Everyone calls me Aunt He. I've worked in this medicine shop for nearly 30 years. I feel really bad to see it pass from the Baili family to the Yao family." As Aunt He said these words, her attitude softened and her chatter was full of warmth.
Baili Yanqing and Su Chenyu did not ask what had happened over the years, and said directly: "Since you are an old man in the manor, when Manager Wu comes to deliver the bill later, you can also help take a look to see if there is anything wrong."
Aunt He was a little at a loss: "I am just a servant in the manor, how can I look after the accounts?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of. You've been in this manor for so many years, you should know the situation here much better than us." Baili Yanqing replied, with no smile in his eyes.
Aunt Xu found another cool room in the pharmacy. After she cleaned it up, she sent someone to inform Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing. When the two returned to the room, Aunt He followed behind them.
Ever since she knew the identities of the two, Aunt He has not been as confident as before. She feels uneasy and doesn't even dare to move her hands and feet.
Su Chenyu looked at her and said, "Aunt He, I just saw that Manager Wu is not very reliable, but you and your husband can't stay in the pharmacy forever, there must be a manager. You have been in this pharmacy for a long time, so you shouldn't be so timid, otherwise how can we feel at ease?"
The implicit meaning of his words is that he does not trust Wu Xin and wants to make more use of Aunt He.
Aunt He's face showed joy, and she straightened her back: "I understand, and I will definitely not disappoint you and your husband."
When Aunt Xu saw Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing bringing back Aunt He, she showed no emotion and just served tea to them as usual: "Xiaoyu, Prince Consort, you've been gone for a long time, have some cold tea."
Su Chenyu had just picked up the teacup when she heard Yanyu come to report: "My dear, Prince Consort, Manager Wu is here with the account book."
"Let him in."
After a while, Wu Xin came in, followed by two maids. They were carrying a large wooden box and placed it on the ground.
"I greet you, my dear husband." Wu Xin came up and bowed first. "How come my dear husband and I suddenly changed rooms? I almost couldn't find them."
Su Chenyu didn't even look at him. Aunt Xu asked with a cold face, "This entire pharmacy belongs to the prince and his wife. Do I need to let you know where I want to live?"
The room that Wu Xin had chosen specially was naturally in a good location, and it was not suitable for living in the summer. He wanted to use this incident to make Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing angry and punish him, so that if it got out, others would only think that the two girls had bad tempers.
