Chapter 114: Internal Ghost Collaboration with External God

"I'll ask the housekeeper to bring the account books from the mansion for comparison." Lou still didn't believe it.

Song Qingci held her hand and shook his head, "Mother, this matter should not be made public for the time being."

Lou was puzzled, "Why?! Such a big thing still needs to be compared with the account books in the mansion before it can be confirmed. We can't jump to conclusions. There are too many people involved. We can't be careless, Ah Ci. If there are any misunderstandings or reasons in the middle, we have to talk about it."

Although she was the head of the household, there were so many account books every year that she had no way of remembering them all.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember, there are account books to check. You can’t just jump to conclusions without looking at the evidence.

In her heart, she still didn't quite believe that Xu Chun, the manager of Xiaowangzhuang, would be so bold. If everything recorded in the account book was true, then... She didn't dare to think about it any further.

Song Qingci looked at his mother-in-law.

She finally understood why Xu Chun dared to do this, and had been doing it for more than ten years. He didn't seem to worry at all that he would be exposed one day.

Moreover, not only was he not worried about the truth being exposed, he even dared to dream of changing his family's status by having his daughter become Shan Li's concubine.

Is the mother-in-law kind? ! Of course she is. When the mistress of a normal family sees something like this, she would not even think about confronting or investigating. She would just arrest all the people involved and beat or sell off the people who deserve it.

This was an absolutely drastic measure. Because no one would accept being betrayed by someone they trusted.

But her mother-in-law still doesn't completely believe it. She's still thinking of finding someone to confront her and even wants to bring old accounts as proof.

Fortunately, she married into a kind family like the General's Mansion, and the old lady was not the one who liked to torture her daughter-in-law. There weren't so many people and so many things in the family. If she had been married to a family with a backyard that was so secretive, she would have died a long time ago, and even her bones might not be found.

Song Qingci also conspiratorially wondered why the Lou family had been in charge for so many years. Was it because she was kind and easy to fool?

With her blocking the way in front, it is very convenient to do anything in private without having to worry about the reputation.

I got the benefits, but if something goes wrong, someone will take the blame. With just one sentence, I am not the boss, what do I know? I can pass the blame on clearly.

The more Song Qingci thought about it, the more this seemed possible.

She was also glad that she came to Lou first. If she didn't convince such a soft-hearted and kind person first, it would be really unbearable if she suddenly became a bad teammate.

Thinking of that scene, Song Qingci couldn't help but shudder.

No, no, absolutely not.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

"Mother, do you think Xu Chun could make such an account book without help from this mansion?!" Song Qingci explained patiently.

She is a person who can be even more cruel to others if they are cruel to her. Therefore, she is not afraid of someone treating her badly, plotting against her, or even trying to kill her. This will only make her more excited.

However, if others are nice to her, her inner order will be impacted, and she will then walk into a path that she herself cannot predict in advance.

Since she came to Dachen Country, most of the people she met have been nice to her.

She basically returned the favor to those who plotted against her on the spot, and she also killed almost all those who wanted to kill her.

In the general's mansion, Shan Li is an ally and has been treating her well so far.

As a mother-in-law, Lou had never bullied or made things difficult for her, and she even rarely took the initiative to get close to her.

Not to mention the old lady, who treats her granddaughter-in-law better than her own granddaughter.

Therefore, when facing these people, Song Qingci would be dazed, at a loss, and become very irritated.

However, it will also give rise to more ideas of patience and protection.

When Lou heard what Song Qingci said, she was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought.

Lou was the second daughter of the Duke of Anguo. She had received an aristocratic family's education since childhood and was not stupid.

But before she got married, she was spoiled by her father and brothers at home, and she didn't have to bear the pressure of being the eldest daughter. She had always lived a simple life.

After getting married, she was married to a kind family like the General's Mansion. Although Shan Xin was not at home all year round, he was very respectful to her as his wife whenever he was at home. Her mother-in-law also treated her like her own daughter.

Up to now, she has never engaged in any intrigue or scheme.

However, now after being enlightened by Song Qingci, she can still figure out many things.

"Ah Ci, do you mean there is a traitor in the mansion?!"

Song Qingci nodded, "That's for sure. Xiaowangzhuang is not far from the capital, and it can even be said to be the closest manor. However, in such a manor, the head of the manor can do such things as enriching himself and exploiting the tenants under the nose of the general's mansion. Isn't he afraid? ! "

"If anyone goes to Xiaowangzhuang to take a look, or checks the accounts of Xiaowangzhuang, this matter will be exposed immediately. If it is inconvenient for the master to go, then what about the steward in the general's mansion? Or other stewards? They won't go either, right?"

"Mother, don't forget that Xiaowangzhuang has to send annual gifts and surplus silver to the General's Mansion every year. People from our General's Mansion also go there to get some food, fruits, vegetables, etc. After so many years, is it possible that no one has noticed anything wrong?"

After listening to Song Qingci's words, Lou's thoughts were immediately sorted out.

"No wonder, no wonder. Last year, I wanted to go to the manor down there to have a look, but was dissuaded by the housekeeper. At that time, Yunzhi was still at the border and had not returned. The housekeeper said that the general's mansion should not make too big a move, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor..." Lou almost said the name, but after reacting, she swallowed the word back.

"Ah Ci, do you think this traitor could be the housekeeper?!" Lou's expression was rather conflicted, as if she was certain but not quite sure.

This butler has been in the general's mansion longer than she has.

"Nine out of ten." Song Qingci thought about the housekeeper's face and didn't have much impression. "But what is certain is that there is more than one person."

It is impossible for one person to handle the internal and external traitors alone.

There are always many people who need to take care of and handle everything inside and outside.
