No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

After the imperial physician finished his diagnosis, it was just as Yangyang had guessed.

They only said that Madam Xue was fine, just a little mentally unstable, so she should not worry too much and just rest more.

It was just this phrase "too much worry" that made Zuo Xiang, his son, feel concerned again.

After sending the imperial physician away, the left prime minister solemnly asked Yangyang to go to his study with him.

It seems that if we want to investigate the matter of Old Madam Xue using the Xue Mansion's funds to fill the shop's books, we may encounter some resistance.

"Yangyang, kneel down!", the left prime minister said sternly as soon as he stepped into the study.

Yangyang was prepared, so he knelt down quietly, waiting for the Left Prime Minister to turn around.

But when the Left Prime Minister asked someone to go to the Imperial City to ask for leave, he had already thought of a solution to today's incident.

He sat at the desk, rubbed his brows and said, "Do you know that I am your grandmother's only son? Where do you want to put your father today?"

"Yangyang knows his fault," Filial piety comes first, in order to expose the old lady. Yangyang did not consider the embarrassment of being the left prime minister of the dynasty today.

But Yangyang didn't feel like she had to give up the investigation. "But father, you didn't let me investigate Jiang's affairs before because it involved too many people. But my grandmother's matter is a family matter. If we don't investigate it thoroughly, if the old lady keeps using the Xue Mansion's money to supplement her..."

"The old lady only has this one son, so even if you use the money from the Xue Mansion to support him, I will accept it!" The Left Prime Minister spoke in a sharp tone, as if he didn't want to give Yangyang any chance to argue.

But now that things have already taken a step, it is really strange that so many shops suddenly have to use the Xue Mansion's income to fill the gap.

If the deficit was not huge, how could such a turnover be needed?

What's more, the old lady has been in charge of the imperial business for so many years, how could she suddenly be so rude?

Before coming to the study, Yangyang had just asked Biluo to find out the specific details of the old lady's shops. Yangyang did not want to argue with Lord Zuo Xiang again about this matter, so even if she had to investigate secretly, she had to find out.

Yangyang thought about this and said, "Father, have you ever thought about how it is possible for such a smart person like my grandmother to make such a big shop lose money to the point where we have to use our family's income to make up for it? What if there is another powerful reason?"

Seeing that Yangyang was still unwilling to let go, the left prime minister could only speak earnestly, "When your father married your mother, your grandmother only had you as her son, so you should not be able to separate from your grandmother."

"But your second grandfather's family has been helping your grandfather run the shop for many years and has no other way to make a living."

"After your grandmother took over, they became even more worried. When my father was in high school, they felt that your grandmother would use her status as a father to kick them out soon."

"So during that period of time, they always made trouble and troubled your grandmother. Your grandmother was righteous and wanted to make your second grandfather's family feel safe and at ease, so she made up her mind to separate from your father!"

Zuo Xiang shook his head, and once again pulled himself out of his memories and looked at Yang Yang who was kneeling on the ground.

"It's not that your father doesn't want to investigate, but your grandmother really has had a hard time. You should understand her and stop causing trouble for her."

"Father, these two things cannot be confused. Yangyang understands the difficulties of my grandmother, but if it is a bottomless pit in the future, will you also bear the responsibility?" After listening to Zuo Xiang's words, Yangyang's worries became even heavier.

What if the debts my grandmother is in now are not just due to management errors, but are man-made?

"Yangyang, please stop interfering in these matters." The left prime minister rebuked, but his tone suddenly softened, "What you should worry about now is your marriage with General Tang. Your father will also go to the Queen Mother to negotiate for this matter. Please stop being willful."

capricious?

The left prime minister waved his hand and no longer looked at Yangyang.

Coupled with the words just now, Yangyang felt a little disappointed for a moment? Could it be that he was really willful in doing these things?

Walking out of the study, a slight breeze brushed her face, making her shiver with cold!

"Miss!" Xiaotao came from the corridor and helped Yangyang to a secluded place.

She whispered softly in Yangyang's ear, "Just now I gave the thief some medicine, and the first thing he asked when he woke up was how his cousin's wife was doing."

"Did you say anything else?" Yangyang looked meaningful.

"He only said that he was not a thief and that he came in just to see my cousin's wife. He didn't say anything else. I didn't dare to think too much and decided to wait until I asked the young lady first!"

"Take good care of him. Grandmother fainted today because of money matters. She will be quiet for a while. Let him recover during this time and slowly find out the reason!"

Yangyang had an idea in mind. Isn't this the family secret written in those picture books?

Then he withdrew his gaze and said to Xiao Tao,

"Go watch him again, and when he's not paying attention, take something he often uses. Since he doesn't want to talk, we'll find a way to make him talk."

After all, this person is now in his own residence. If he makes a noise out of anxiety, he will definitely be discovered.

The only way now is to slowly attack their hearts imperceptibly and get to the bottom of it without bloodshed.

After hearing this, Xiao Tao helped Yang Yang back to Fang Fei Courtyard to wait, and then she carefully went to the firewood room to meet the thief.

In less than a moment, Xiao Tao got the things and returned to Fangfei Courtyard.

"You can tell from the looks of this purse was made by a woman herself, but the embroidery on the feet is really not that good, and yet that thief is holding it in his arms like it's a treasure." Xiao Tao looked proud and smug, looking at the purse and thinking it was much worse than the one she made herself.

"If he hadn't fallen over, I wouldn't have known what to take from him. He's dressed in all black, so how can you tell he's a good man?"

Yangyang took the purse. She really didn't know how to sew.

But after hearing what Xiao Tao said, he knew there would be no problem. Then he raised his eyebrows towards Xiao Tao.

"Let's go! Let's go see my cousin now. She seems to be feeling better these days!"

Yangyang brought Xiaotao to Jiang Jiarou's yard.

Maybe the old lady was not feeling well today, so the servants went to serve her.

Jiang Jiarou's place was so deserted that she seemed like she had been banished to the cold palace. There wasn't even an old woman sweeping the yard.

"Drink it! Why, your niece made this for you herself? It doesn't taste good?"

As soon as I walked to the window, I heard Xue Qingqing's voice coming from the inner room.

Yangyang put his hand in front of Xiaotao, indicating that she should not go in yet and wait outside.

The room was quiet for a moment, and a choking cough could be faintly heard. It must be that Xue Qingqing choked on the food she fed to Jiang.

"Why don't you drink it quickly!" Xue Qingqing put the bowl in her hand on the bedside table with a thud and said angrily,

"My mother was fed the Naga with the medicine at your request, right? Now I have listened to your lies and killed my mother. And you want to kill me in prison as well?"

Yangyang stood outside the window, her pupils gradually dilated because of this sentence. It seemed that her previous guesses were all true.

If Ji Ming had not been kidnapped by Tang Yuwei, she might have found out the truth long ago.

Xue Qingqing looked hateful, but said in a gloomy way, "This is really retribution. God didn't let me be killed by you, but let me lose the noble young marquis!"

"Don't worry! I won't let you die now. I still need your help to get me into the Marquis's Mansion!"
