Mrs. Chen was already upset and angry, but when she heard Lu Zhuchuan's words, she held her breath in her chest.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she remembered what Mr. Qian knew, she didn't dare to say harsh words.

He could only stand up and said, "Take him to the side hall and I'll meet him there."

Although Chen was banned, people were not prohibited from entering and exiting Shen Wu's courtyard.

Mr. Qian is considered a foreigner, so he shouldn't enter the inner house at this time. But he has been in the Shen family for many years, so this matter is not difficult for him.

In the side hall, Mr. Qian sat half-length on a chair, looking nervous and flustered.

The maid Lu Zhu helped Chen go in, while another personal maid Zi Yan stood guard at the door.

When Mr. Qian saw Mrs. Chen come in, he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said respectfully: "A gift to Madam."

Mrs. Chen glanced sideways at him and sat down on the chair.

"Mr. Qian wasn't very capable just now. I thought you forgot your dignity and didn't know how to salute."

In fact, seeing Mr. Qian's concerns, Mrs. Chen felt a lot more at ease. She was really afraid that Mr. Qian would play rough tricks with her and break the rules.

"Excuse me, Madam. I was anxious just now, fearing that Madam would not want to see me."

Mrs. Chen hummed, "Then what's the big deal when Mr. Qian comes to see me? I'm still grounded. If the old lady and the eldest master know that I'm meeting you in private, it will be another trouble."

Mr. Qian was promoted by Chen and had been working for Chen. Chen was more polite to him than to others.

Mr. Qian said: "Madam may not know that the traitor in my family beat the young master of the Yang family. Now Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War has arrested him. I really have no choice, so I came to ask Madam for help."

When Mrs. Chen heard that this was true, a layer of impatience appeared on her face.

"Your son is really good at beating. Can he hit the young master of the Yang family?"

"I can't help you with this matter. I don't even go out to this yard. How can I help you?"

Mr. Qian knelt on the ground and said, "Please save his life, Madam. If you want to help, there must be a way."

"For the sake of me following Madam for so many years, I beg Madam to be merciful."

At this point, Mr. Qian was no longer so panicked. He had already made plans for the worst, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Mrs. Chen has not settled her own affairs yet, and her daughter is still waiting for her to take care of her. How can she bother to listen to what Mr. Qian has to say.

Now she just wanted to send him away and tell him to stop talking nonsense.

Therefore, Mr. Qian Ying was also vague, "I will tell the young master that it is hard to say whether he can be released. Don't talk nonsense in the house, and don't come to see me again."

"You must never make threats like that today again."

Mr. Qian heard the perfunctoriness in Chen's words and sneered in his heart. The eldest lady really wanted to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. These words are enough to fool a three-year-old child.

"I only have this one son, so I hope Madam can give you an accurate answer. If you can guarantee that my son will come out safe and sound, I will naturally not say anything wrong."

Although this sentence was said euphemistically, there was a hint of threat in it, and Mrs. Chen could understand it clearly.

Seeing that Ms. Chen was silent, Mr. Qian continued: "Madam, my son is my life. If my son is gone, I will no longer live."

"I won't be able to care so much about who it affects by then."

"I forgot to tell Madam that I still have a copy of the previous account book."

Chen's expression suddenly changed, "Didn't I ask you to destroy them all? Who asked you to keep them privately?"

Mr. Qian replied: "I'm also afraid that one day these things will be discovered. I can't tell clearly."

"Don't worry, Madam, as soon as my son comes out, I will destroy these account books immediately. After destroying them all, I will return to my hometown in Qingyang. I promise not to return to the capital in this life, nor to say a word to anyone."

Chen's expression changed again and again. If there really was an account book, I still don't know where it is. She didn't know who else in his family knew.

So now she doesn't dare to touch Mr. Qian, she has to get his son out first.

Thinking of this, Chen's face returned to normal with a slight smile.

"Mr. Qian, please get up. I am also mentally and physically exhausted because of what happened in the past two days. I thought about it carefully and realized that Yang Shangshu is not at a loss for words."

"You go back and wait. I will find a way to get him back tomorrow morning."

Mr. Qian's face was overjoyed, "Thank you, Madam. I will go back and wait."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

After Mr. Qian left, Mrs. Chen returned to the banquet room in the main room. When I walked in, I found that Li Chaoyun hadn't left yet, holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand and sipping on it.

"Didn't I tell you to go back and rest? You've been up all day, don't be too tired." Mrs. Chen sat down opposite Li Chaoyun and said lovingly.

Li Chaoyun put down the soup cup in his hand, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"I saw my mother hurried out just now and felt a little worried, so I thought I'd wait for you to come back and ask."

It was also because Li Chaoyun heard Lu Zhu's words that he was afraid that someone might get hold of Chen, which would ultimately ruin her career.

Mrs. Chen was a little moved when she heard this, and once again lamented that this daughter-in-law was the right one to marry.

She felt depressed, so she told Li Chaoyun about Mr. Qian without hiding it.

However, she only said that he was the accountant and did not say anything specific. When Li Chaoyun heard that the other party was Mr. Accountant, he understood. The accounts of a large family cannot withstand inspection, so any matron has nothing to do.

Li Chaoyun could guess it just by looking at Chen's expression. It should be a big deal, even fatal.

After Chen and Li Chaoyun finished explaining, they added, "When you go back later, ask someone to send a message to your father-in-law. Let him think of a way to get the person out first."

Li Chaoyun poured tea for Mr. Chen with his own hands, and then said, "Don't bother father about this matter. I will send someone to take care of it."

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, and she didn't want to alarm Shen Zhiheng.

"Can you do it? Will it be too troublesome for you?" Chen asked politely.

Li Chaoyun gave Chen a comforting smile, "Don't worry, mother, this is a small matter."

"There's just one thing. Mr. Qian can threaten you today, and he will do it again if you don't get enough protection. Has mother thought about it? What should I do?"

According to Li Chaoyun's idea, it would be best to cut the grass and root it out. But she couldn't say this directly, so she could only ask Chen in a tactful way.

Mrs. Chen said coldly: "I'll get the person out first and don't let him talk nonsense."

"As for what happens next, I will arrange it and won't let him talk nonsense. Not only him, but his whole family will not say another word."
