Qiuyue didn't believe it, so she picked up an account book at random, turned a page and asked her.
I didn't expect Xia Tian to say it casually.
Qiuyue didn't give up and asked several more questions in succession. Xia Tian answered them all fluently, word for word.
In the end, Qiuyue had no choice but to let her go. She had to call someone over to pick up the account book and report to Liu.
When Xia Tian came out of the meeting room, he saw Ningxiang standing on the path outside the door with a lunch box in her hand.
"Ningxiang." she called out.
"Madam." Ningxiang saw Xia Tian coming out and walked over happily. "Madam, are you okay? Are you starving?"
"No, let's go back and eat." Xia Tian winked at Ningxiang, and Ningxiang tacitly shut up and followed with the lunch box.
Qiuyue was right behind them just now, so it was not convenient to talk there.
After the two returned to Jinglan Garden, Xiatian washed his hands and felt more comfortable sitting on the kang in the warm room.
It was just after the first month of the lunar year and the weather was still a bit cold. After Liu left, the brazier in the meeting room was removed by the servants. My feet were still a bit cold after sitting there for a long time.
I guess Liu did it on purpose. She removed the brazier, didn't allow her to eat or drink water, and even asked her personal maid to monitor her, just to make things difficult for her.
Ningxiang took the food out and heated it up before bringing it in and placing it on the table in the warm room.
Ningxue brought in the warm tea, and Xiatian drank three cups in a row before she felt better.
She got up early in the morning and was busy all morning. After she finished her meal, she quickly lay down and took a nap.
She was afraid that Liu would come to see her again in the afternoon.
Fortunately, Liu did not send anyone to look for her in the afternoon.
She spent the whole afternoon painting in her study.
The next day, Xia Tian ate something in the morning before going to pay his respects to Liu.
Just like yesterday, Liu called them in after dinner.
After paying their respects to the old lady, Liu still did not let Xia Tian go back for dinner, and went directly to the conference room with her to work.
She didn't know if it was her illusion this time, but every housekeeper who came today had a lot of questions and reported them to Liu in detail.
Liu just sat on the chair, drinking tea slowly, listening to the maids' responses, and occasionally interjecting a word.
After talking for a long time, it seemed like not much was accomplished and I just heard them grinding their teeth.
There was a woman who was in charge of the garden. She actually brought up the content she had reported yesterday and repeated it today.
Xia Tian stood behind Liu, listening with an expressionless face.
Liu thought she was a fool and couldn't see such an obvious target.
After all the old women had left with their mouths dry and tongues wet, Liu did the same as yesterday and had someone bring twice as many account books to her to see.
Let Qiuyue look at her.
After Liu left, Xia Tian moved a stool over and sat down to look through the books slowly.
When it was time for lunch, he stood up, stretched, and said to Qiuyue beside him, "Miss Qiuyue, I have finished reading the account book, but there are some questions I don't understand. I need to ask Madam for advice."
Qiuyue was unmoved. "Madam, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask this servant first."
"I'm afraid Miss Qiuyue won't be able to explain it clearly even if I ask her. After all, you don't have a housekeeper, so it's better to ask the lady directly."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiuyue to say anything, he picked up the account book and walked out.
Qiuyue was stunned and rushed out to stop Xia Tian.
Xia Tian's face turned cold. "Miss Qiuyue, I want to ask Madam a question. Why are you stopping me?"
"I've told you that if the Crown Prince's wife has any questions, she can ask me first." Qiuyue stood in front and did not move.
"You are a slave and I am the master. Do you think it is appropriate for me to ask you a question?" Xia Tian glanced at her coldly. Really, does she think that anyone can ride on her neck and pee?
Qiuyue didn't expect Xia Tian to use his status to pressure her directly, and was speechless for a moment.
Xia Tian didn't look at her again. He just walked around her and went to Liu's yard with the account book in his arms.
When he reached the door, he went in directly without waiting for the maid to inform him.
It was noon, and Liu was sitting at the table watching the maids set the table. She saw Xia Tian rush in without waiting to be notified, and her face was annoyed. "Why are you here? Have you finished reading the account books?"
Xia Tian bowed and placed the account book on the dining table, then sat down on the chair next to Liu without any hesitation.
After sitting down, he slowly answered Liu's question, "I've finished reading it, mother. I just finished reading it, and there are several parts that I don't understand. I remembered what you said, that if I don't understand anything, I can ask you, so I came directly here."
Seeing that she was not at all shy, Liu sat down on her own, with a flash of disgust in her eyes. "Since you're done reading, go back first. Come back later and I'll teach you."
"No, no, going back would waste time. Mother is about to have dinner, so I'll just have a meal here. After dinner, you can ask mother directly." Xia Tian waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing an empty bowl on the table, he took it directly, first poured a bowl of soup for Liu and placed it in front of her, and then filled a bowl of soup for himself, "I haven't had any water all morning, and I'm thirsty too, so I'll have a bowl of soup first."
He picked up the bowl and drank the whole bowl of soup in one breath. Seeing that Liu Shi was still dumbfounded and hadn't touched the spoon yet, he kindly urged her, "Mother, drink a bowl of soup before dinner. It's good for your health. Drink it quickly, or it will get cold soon."
After saying this, he didn't care whether Liu agreed or not, and directly ordered Qiuyue, who followed in and stood behind Liu, "Miss Qiuyue, serve me a bowl of rice. I didn't have breakfast today, and I'm starving."
Qiuyue stood there without moving, and Liu also looked confused.
Xia Tian saw that Qiuyue didn't move, and the others didn't move without Liu's instructions, so he could only stand up and get a big bowl of rice himself.
