The old housekeeper naturally had nothing to say when it came to keeping accounts. Everything was written neatly and clearly.

Lin Yunxi sat next to Chen Yuxuan, and he could see everything clearly even if he looked around.

Of course, she didn't understand it on the surface, and her face was full of curiosity.

Not to mention, the Prime Minister gave Aunt Mei a lot of things at first, but then they became less and less...

Could it be that the Prime Minister's grandfather changed his nature? Tired of Aunt Mei?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Chen Yuxuan let out a long breath, closed the account book hard, and laughed loudly: "I knew my grandfather was a smart man. Looking at his usual care for Aunt Mei, it was actually just superficial and good things. None of it leaked into her house."

Chen Yuxuan was a little proud. Erlang raised his legs and leaned on the back of the chair: "Grandpa is worthy of being the prime minister. He is very good at playing with the yin and yang side. I am afraid that the Mei family will be fooled by him."

"My grandmother must have known about it a long time ago, so she didn't care about him. Otherwise, if it were another woman, there wouldn't be a huge commotion? The family would not be able to live in peace."

"That woman is so stupid! Do you really think that my grandfather had a favor for her when he was young?"

Chen Yuxuan laughed boldly several times and suddenly asked Lin Yunxi:

"Sister, isn't our grandfather a bit unreasonable? Women want to coax, but don't come up with actual things. Tsk tsk, as expected, ginger is still hotter than old!"

Lin Yunxi had different ideas.

In her opinion, Aunt Mei is a smart person.

She couldn't just give up without getting certain benefits, right?

There wasn't much description of Aunt Mei in the book, so she couldn't guess, so she could only try to be careful.

It is essential to be on guard against others.

"Cousin, how about we check the furnishings in Aunt Mei's house?" Lin Yunxi said suddenly.

It would be best to find out Aunt Mei's assets.

But if she handles it carefully, it's not easy to find everything.

"She was born into the family. She started working as my grandfather's personal maid at the age of thirteen, and later became his wife." Chen Yuxuan said, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Mei spent much more time with her grandfather than her grandmother.

"If there is anything in her house, it must have been given by her grandfather. She has no money."

Chen Yuxuan said carelessly.

To a certain extent, he has a big personality, a bit like Mrs. Chen.

"Let's check it out. Let's just say that the government has to register the objects from the beginning, and the whole government must conduct a thorough check and registration. We have to do it as soon as possible. We are making a lot of noise, and we didn't deliberately hide it. She may already know the news. Don't waste time, give The opportunity for her to hide. Not only hers, but also the rooms of several concubines, as well as her servants."

Lin Yunxi knew very well that in ancient times, if the master and the servant were closely related, they would let the servant hide good things for him. The contract of betrayal is held in his own hands, and the one who feels most at ease is the servant.

She hoped that Aunt Mei had a good relationship with her personal maid or grandma.

There was no way, she was the one who caused this matter, and she was also involved in the accounting (although others thought she was illiterate), so she still had to get involved and see it through to the end.

Although Chen Yuxuan felt it was unnecessary, it was his sister's suggestion... He hesitated for a second and decided to implement it.

Another day to impress my sister!

Chen Yuxuan's mother looked at the account book in front of her, but her brows became tighter and tighter.

When the two younger ones found her, she was still looking.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Chen Yuxuan asked worriedly.

Gong Shulan's expression was too obviously bad.

"Your grandmother's dowry is missing a lot." Gong Shulan frowned.

"There are a lot of very valuable things, but they are gone. Most of what is recorded in the ledger was taken away by your grandfather."

This thing is relatively difficult to do.

I understand that my father-in-law is a high-ranking official and needs good things to manage.

But what if it’s not?

Actually, it’s a bit too much. The key is that it’s a bit frequent...

"Mom, look at the time when my grandfather took it away recently. Did my brother argue with her that day?" Lin Yunxi's crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Gong Shulan was startled and quickly pointed to the time on the account book and asked her son: "Look, when did you quarrel with her these days?"

Chen Yuxuan touched his head in embarrassment: "Mother, how can I remember this son?"

He is a seven-foot man.

Sometimes I argue with Aunt Mei just to cause trouble for her, and I just throw it away after saying it.

I don’t know where Aunt Mei got so many tears. She cries non-stop over the smallest things. So annoying.

"Brother, are there any special days that are easy to remember? For example, the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, or a certain festival... think about it carefully?"

Lin Yunxi felt that she had reminded her clearly enough.

She saw the record in the account book that the prime minister had received something two days before the Spring Festival. But this is really possible as a gift, after all, the new year is approaching.

Other key times that are easy to remember are: the day after the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival; the second day of February...

At these key nodes, either on the same day or the next day, my grandfather had taken away things.

I hope he does it all for himself...

Otherwise, Lin Yunxi's impression of her grandfather would really be greatly reduced.

Are there still few men like this nowadays?

When working externally, he is very capable and shrewd, but in private, he spends a lot of money to support his mistresses and even goes shopping in public, without shying away from it.

There are countless people who take advantage of their wives' natal status to get rich and kick their wives off, even those who are rich and powerful.

Haha, men are scum by nature!

Chen Yuxuan inexplicably received a look of disdain and disdain from his sister, and his skin tightened:

Why do you feel like you're about to be whipped by your sister?

"By the way, how's your investigation going?" Gong Shulan rubbed her brow with a headache.

"Mom, my sister suggested that I check the whole house and check all the family's finances." Chen Yuxuan came back to his senses and replied.

"Yes, mother, by the way, check to see if any of my grandfather's things have gone to her." Lin Yunxi added.

Gong Shulan had a headache.

If it were someone else, they might just go and investigate without saying anything.

But their Prime Minister's Mansion is a bit different.

The old lady doesn't like to take care of the accounts, so the master and aunt just like each other.

In her opinion, the master also doted on his aunt, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many concubines and grandchildren to come out first. Therefore, she was still a little timid about using the knife on Aunt Mei.

"If mother is in trouble, let grandma give the order." Lin Yunxi knew the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law.

Although Gong Shulan is a housekeeper in name, she has no real power in the real sense. To put it bluntly, he is just a bookkeeper and a cashier.

Gong Shulan nodded hesitantly: "That's best, but your grandmother never likes to do this, she will find it annoying."

\"Let's go talk to grandma together.\"

Lin Yunxi was full of confidence this time.

Grandma only needs to give an order, and she will do the rest!
