Chapter 105: Cold as the Marquis
However, many problems were found in Master Sun's account book.
"This account book is meticulously prepared. If I'm not mistaken, Master Sun can go check his assets."
Sun Sisi sat opposite Yun Qiao and talked to her.
Yun Qiao nodded. "That's exactly what I meant. Send someone to check his background. I haven't touched him yet, thinking I didn't alert him."
"There's one more thing. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the farms near the Marquis' mansion will send gifts in advance. This year, the things from that farm will be sent to the Marquis' mansion, and I won't interfere. But the Marquis has said that the profits from the farm will be in my name. Sister Sun, you have to help me check the account book."
With all the money from the farm in her hands, even if she only gets one this year, she will be a wealthy woman.
Sun Sisi nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I'll come that day and keep an eye on it."
Yun Qiao then said, "With Sister Sun here, I feel much more at ease. Have a cup of tea. These dried longans were sent from Guangcheng. They make a sweet tea and taste quite good."
The two were talking when they heard a sound at the door.
Yun Qiao and Sun Sisi looked up and saw that it was Chen Jingyan who came again.
Seeing Chen Jingyan coming, Sun Sisi felt a little flustered.
When she first entered the Marquis' Mansion, she was looking forward to meeting the Marquis, but after being ignored for a long time, her expectations became discouraged.
Now that we meet again, I feel afraid.
Just as Yun Qiao was about to tell Chen Jingyan about the person in front of her, she heard Chen Jingyan ask, "Is this the accountant you hired?"
Not to mention that Yun Qiao was surprised by Chen Jingyan's question, even Sun Sisi, who was still nervous and scared, suddenly turned cold when she heard Chen Jingyan's words.
"Sister Qiao, I'm leaving first."
Sun Sisi stood up and left immediately.
Chen Jingyan just frowned, feeling that the accountant in front of him didn't know the rules.
Yun Qiao shook her head slightly, "My Lord, have you really forgotten? She is your concubine, Sun Sisi? The old lady found her for you."
Sun Sisi is not very old now, of course, compared to some girls who are thirteen or fourteen years old, she is ten years older.
But if it were in modern times, he would be a college graduate.
"Sun Sisi?" Chen Jingyan paused, thought carefully, and indeed had no impression of her. "I don't remember."
"If the Marquis doesn't like it, just release the person from the Marquis' Mansion and settle him down. Look at this, how many people are hurt."
Chen Jingyan said, "There are so many people in the mansion, how can I remember them all? Of the people in the backyard, I only remember you."
This is naturally good for her.
But to other innocent people, it seems much more cruel.
If she didn't ask Sun Sisi to help her manage the accounts of the farm in the suburbs, Sun Sisi would have to spend the rest of her life alone in Xiaoxiang Garden. Who would remember her?
This ancient man was truly cold and cruel.
Is she lucky that she is loved by Chen Jingyan?
But how long will this love last?
Chen Jingyan only noticed what Yun Qiao was thinking, but he couldn't understand what she was thinking. He just felt that there was a lot of noise in his ears.
"Yun Qiao..."
He suddenly shouted, and Yun Qiao came back to her senses, "I was distracted."
"I've handed over all the backyard affairs to you. If you feel sorry for her, just give her some more things. As for letting her leave the mansion, we'll discuss it after I come back."
"Are you leaving now, my Lord?"
Half a month in advance.
There is still more than half a month to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"I'm not going to Guangcheng. I'm going to do something outside. Maybe I'm going to find my little sister."
"Really?" Yun Qiao hurriedly added, "Then the Marquis should go over quickly and bring the young lady back home. She must have suffered a lot outside these years."
Chen Jingyan reached out and touched Yun Qiao's hair.
"I'm not at the Marquis' Mansion. Please take good care of her for me."
Chen Jingyan just came over to say something to Yun Qiao and then left.
"Miss, the Marquis really likes you. He just went to Jiangcheng and came here to tell you."
Yun Qiao just smiled and said nothing.
It's true that Chen Jingyan loves her, but he is also suspicious by nature.
He should have secretly arranged someone to keep an eye on her.
Yun Qiao was a little worried. If Chen Jingyan knew that she had secretly gathered his concubines together to get his money, would he be furious and use it against her again?
Just thinking about it made Yun Qiao tremble all over.
To be honest, she was a little scared.
I wonder if Sun Sisi would feel jealous and hateful after hearing what Chen Jingyan asked just now, and would stop helping her?
It's not impossible.
Sun Sisi is also the Marquis's concubine.
She saw that Yun Qiao was favored and had acquired the huge farm in the suburbs, and she also wanted her, Sun Sisi, to help with the accounting.
If she saw the profit account on the farm, would she really be able to keep her original intention? Yun Qiao thought to herself, "One must be cautious of others. I will give Sun Sisi the money she deserves for helping with the accounting."
If Sun Sisi is not satisfied and wants more, then don't blame her for being rude?
***
After leaving Lanyuan, Chen Jingyan prepared the carriage and set off for Jiangcheng.
Just at this moment, Master Sun, who had been responsible for recording all the income accounts of the suburban farm, stopped Wang Xiaodong, the marquis's follower.
"Master Sun, what does it mean for you to visit the Marquis at this time?"
"Of course it's an important matter." Master Sun then said, "Manager Wang, where is the Marquis? I must go and tell him about this in person."
Wang Xiaodong was about to refuse. After all, the Marquis really didn't have much time at this time.
But he saw Master Sun heading straight towards the Marquis's mount.
"My Lord, my Lord, this is Sun Xiang."
Chen Jingyan had some impression of Sun Xiang.
"What do you want from me?"
"I want to talk to the Marquis about Aunt Qiao taking charge of the manor."
Chen Jingyan frowned. "I have already given the manor to Concubine Qiao as her private property. For matters concerning the manor, you can go directly to Concubine Qiao. You don't need to come to me in the future."
Sun Xiang said, "My Lord, you don't know that Concubine Qiao has ulterior motives. She just wants to take over your farm. I once saw Concubine Qiao secretly contacting a man outside the family and even giving him some money."
Chen Jingyan's face suddenly turned cold.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue."
"I dare not. I saw it with my own eyes. That day, in a small teahouse below Wangchun Tower, I saw Aunt Qiao talking to a man. Their behavior was very intimate and suspicious. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to tell the Marquis. I am worried that the Marquis will be deceived."
Chen Jingyan then looked at Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Xiaodong understood immediately, walked up to Chen Jingyan, and heard what he whispered.
Then, Chen Jingyan looked at Sun Xiang again.
"If you dare to say a word about what happened today, I will cut off your tongue."
"Yes, I dare not tell anyone."
