The ancient mythical beast quickly wears a cruel and ruthless

Su Li took Zhao Wenchang to the warehouse next door, opened the door, and found it was empty!

"How could this happen?"

Zhao Wenchang was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that his family would be in such financial difficulty.

"So when will your batch of goods arrive in the capital?"

Zhao Wenchang hurriedly inquired.

"It will only take two or three days!"

Su Li said casually, his eyes moving towards the small kitchen.

At this time, Xiao Cui, who received the signal, ran out with a carrier pigeon in her hand, "Miss, it's bad! Our food and fodder have been robbed!"

She ran over with an anxious look on her face, holding the carrier pigeon in one hand and an open, crumpled piece of paper in the other.

"what?"

Su Li pretended to stagger, grabbed Xiao Cui with an anxious look and asked, "Xiao Cui, what did you just say?"

"Miss, the food and cotton clothes you sent people to purchase were robbed by bandits on the way!"

Xiao Cui said with a sad face.

"How ridiculous! They even dare to rob the royal family's food supplies. I'm going to find someone to investigate this matter!"

Zhao Wenchang could no longer control his anger and planned to find someone to wipe out the bandits.

After he left, Xiao Cui looked around and then smiled proudly, "Miss, how is my acting?"

"Yes! It's OK!"

Su Li nodded slightly.

"Miss, Zhao Wenchang has gone to investigate the missing food and grass. Will we be exposed?"

Xiao Cui asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Su Li said with a mysterious smile on her face, "Your young lady is hungry and wants to eat the lotus cake you made. Go and make it!"

"Okay, miss!"

Su Li watched her enter the kitchen, then turned to look at the empty warehouse.

Everything that happened was within her expectations.

The food, fodder and cotton clothes that her original body had purchased were also collected on her way back to Beijing.

It also gave the escorts the illusion that they were robbed by bandits.

Therefore, even if Zhao Wenchang really asked someone to investigate, nothing would be found.

However, given his current situation, as a minor official of the Ministry of Rites who has offended his superior, who would be willing to help him investigate?

Sure enough, Zhao Wenchang came back angrily that night and locked himself in the room.

Afterwards, he took the 18,000 taels of silver notes that had not been spent from Old Madam Zhao and left home...

Su Li turned into a streak of white light and followed him, only to find that he had gone to Minister Li's residence.

"Minister Li, I'm really sorry about this! It's all my mother's fault. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble!"

Zhao Wenchang placed the 18,000 taels on Minister Li's desk and kept apologizing.

Su Li waved his finger and performed a transplant.

There was now a stack of white paper on the table, and the real silver bills were in her hands.

"Master Zhao!"

Minister Li drank the tea in his hand slowly and said with an unhappy look on his face, "Your family can take a concubine if you want. If there is a fire in the backyard, you have to learn how to put it out yourself. How can you implicate others?"

"Yes, yes, it's because my man used all the money in his hand to buy food and grass. Now the food and grass have been robbed. Sigh..."

Zhao Wenchang looked helpless, "I dug these from my mother. I hope you won't mind!"

"Really? Then why did I hear that your wife also bought a lot of high-quality supplements for Mr. Zhao?"

Minister Li slowly put down his teacup and said, "Go back! You caused me to lose my position as the Minister of State. We shall never see each other again!"

"Sir, please don't be like this, you see?"

Zhao Wenchang pointed at the "silver note" on the table with an anxious look on his face.

Li Shilang took the "banknote" and looked at it. He was immediately furious and threw it directly at Zhao Wenchang's face. "Zhao Wenchang, get out of here! How dare you use a stack of white paper to fool me!"

"White paper? How is that possible?"

Zhao Wenchang was dumbfounded. He carefully examined the white paper in his hands with both hands. "It was clearly a banknote. How did it become a blank paper?"

"Come here, kick him out. He is not welcome in our house anymore!"

Minister Li was so angry that he threw the teacup away.

Su Li, who was hiding nearby, curled his lips in a smile and disappeared on the spot.

You still want to turn the tables? That's impossible!

Zhao Wenchang was driven out in disgrace, and the first thing he did when he came back was to get angry at Su Li, "Ruan Xinyao, this is all your fault! If you hadn't invested all the money, would I have offended my boss and ruined my future?"

Su Li pretended to be aggrieved, "Master, what you said is too much! In order for you to take a concubine, I used all the money I had to buy you the best supplements. I just hope that you will have a child to inherit the Zhao family soon."

"I!"

Zhao Wenchang was speechless for a moment, "Then you shouldn't have spent all the money!"

"This, I never thought that the grain and grass would be robbed! I thought that once the grain and grass arrived in the capital, I would have money to work with."

Su Li felt even more aggrieved.

"Alright! This is all your fault. From today on, you don't have to worry about the family affairs. Just reflect on your mistakes!"

Zhao Wenchang flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors?

In fact, it took away her power as housekeeper!

But Su Li didn't care about this at all. Now there was not a single ounce of silver in the entire Zhao family's account. Whoever took over would be in trouble.

"Oh, when will this month's salary be paid?"

The servants of the Zhao Mansion began to complain, "When Madam was in charge of the household, this monthly salary was never in arrears!"

"Yes, my mother is sick and is waiting for my monthly salary to save her life!"

"Alas, not only is there no way to pay our monthly salary, but the summer clothes that were supposed to be made for our servants this month have also not been made!"

"I heard that it was because of marrying those three concubines that the account was in deficit!"

"Yes, yes, I also heard that the lady used her money to buy food and fodder, but now the food and fodder have been robbed, and her shop will also be taken back by the court..."

"real or fake?"

"..."

The entire Zhao Mansion began to panic.

Su Li stayed leisurely in his own courtyard, letting Xiao Cui cook countless delicious meals for him.

You know what, Xiao Cui’s cooking skills are really good, and Su Li always enjoys her meals.

"Miss, the master sent someone to tell you to write a letter to the old master and ask him to send you some silver. This way, you can atone for your sins! Then he will let you out to manage the household!"

Xiao Cui said with disgust, "Ugh, that servant who came to deliver the message made me sick when I saw his face, as if he was doing me some great favor. How disgusting!"

"Just tell him that I was heartbroken because of the food robbed, and now I'm sick in bed, and I've let him down!"

Su Li said while chewing the chicken leg in his hand and waved his hand.

"Yes, miss!"

Xiao Cui quickly ran out to reply to the servant, "My young lady is too worried and is bedridden. Let the master find someone else to take charge of the housekeeping!"
