A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Mr. Qian brought the box in and opened it step by step. Only then did Su Qingyu realize that it was a box with a mechanism.

In the previous dynasty, there was a Minister of Industry named Lin who liked to study the mechanisms on boxes and furniture.

Judging from the workmanship of Mr. Qian's box, it doesn't look like it was made by Lin Shangshu, but it looks like it was imitated by folk craftsmen.

But even if it's an imitation, it's only made of the same material as the box, but the mechanisms inside can be copied more or less. After all, it is something that is hundreds of years old and has been studied for a long time.

But these things are still extremely difficult for a layman like Su Qingyu.

Mr. Qian's account book box is very exquisitely designed. The three mechanisms need to be opened in sequence.

When the box was opened, Mr. Qian carefully took out a gauze bag from the top, unable to see clearly what was inside.

"What is this?" Su Qingyu asked.

Mr. Qian took out the account book and explained, "There is phosphorus powder inside. As long as you forcefully open the box, something will stir up the phosphorus powder in the box. Once the lid of the box is opened, it will burn immediately."

Mr. Qian knows very well that only the third wife can save his life now. The scene of the fire just now was still lingering in his mind. So he knew everything Su Qingyu asked.

Su Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she didn't go directly to the Qian family to search. The box looked ordinary. If it was searched directly, the account book would probably be gone.

The reason why she didn't make any move was because this matter was too important, and she wanted to take it step by step. She would rather have some trouble than have any unexpected changes.

Fortunately, fortunately she was not in a hurry.

Su Qingyu took a deep breath and called Wenzhu outside.

"Bring all these account books back to the house."

"If we send people to guard this house, everyone in the Qian family will not be able to go out and walk around for the time being, and nothing will happen."

She didn't have time to interrogate Mr. Qian now. If she didn't return home, Shen Zhixiu might come in person.

Besides, it was useless for her to interrogate him. She didn't know anything about the Shen family back then. You have to go back and talk to Shen Zhixiu about this matter. Since you want to investigate, you must investigate thoroughly.

Su Qingyu led her men out of the back door, where the mansion's carriage was already waiting.

Jade lifted the curtain, and Su Qingyu stepped on the step stool and got on the carriage.

The familiar smell inside the carriage made Su Qingyu pause, and then she sat in naturally.

Jade outside the carriage raised his feet to get up, but was grabbed by Wenzhu.

Feicui subconsciously slapped Wenzhu with her backhand, but Wenzhu grabbed her wrist again.

"Don't do anything, Third Master is in the car." Wen Zhu whispered.

Only then did Jade know why he didn't let her get in the car, and she took back her hand in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I was a little impulsive just now."

Wenzhu waved his hand nonchalantly and motioned for her to get into the carriage behind which contained the account books.

The wheels of the carriage turned slowly, making a creaking sound.

Su Qingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Zhixiu's tense face. At this time, the sound of the night watchman's beating came from outside, it was already the second watch.

She reached out her hand, grabbed his finger, and shook it slightly.

"Are you angry? I'm in a hurry and I didn't have time to tell you."

Shen Zhixiu moved his wrist slightly and wanted to shake it off, but he couldn't let go and grabbed her hand with his backhand.

"Your husband is dead?" Shen Zhixiu suddenly asked coldly.

Su Qingyu was stunned. Isn't her husband him? Why are you asking yourself if you are dead?

He replied in a low voice, "He's not dead."

When Shen Zhixiu heard this, he almost laughed angrily.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the person over, and as the carriage swayed, Su Qingyu sat directly on his lap.

Shen Zhixiu tightened his grip, his tone still cold.

"Your husband is not dead, but you don't know how to find him when something happens? You go into danger privately and don't come home at night."

"Su Qingyu, you are really..."

"What do you think of such a big fire? Fortunately, the two houses are not connected in the middle, and the fire did not spread to the sides. What would you do if something happened? What do you want me to do?"

He was so angry that he couldn't even say a harsh word.

Only then did Su Qingyu understand what he meant, and she also knew that she had indeed gone too far today.

Then she nestled in his arms and murmured a bit coquettishly: "Shen Zhixiu, you call me."

She rarely talked to him like this, except...in bed.

After listening to his words just now, Su Qingyu felt a little sorry. She shouldn't have worried him, and she felt sorry for his anxiety just now.

So this sentence of coquettishness is more like making amends and showing goodwill.

Shen Zhixiu froze for a moment when he heard these words, and then spoke a little softer.

"I'm not shouting at you, I'm just talking about the matter."

Su Qingyu snorted, "He also said that he was henpecked. Who dares to shout at his wife if he is henpecked?"

Shen Zhixiu was angry and couldn't help but want to laugh. He reached out and pinched Su Qingyu's face.

"Let's see how I punish you when I get back."

Su Qingyu knew that the matter was over, and continued to nestle in his arms with peace of mind.

After returning to the west courtyard, she ordered Wenzhu to move all the account books to the small study room in the east courtyard.

Shen Zhixiu didn't have time to ask Su Qingyu what was going on, so he was a little confused looking at the account books.

"What are these?"

He picked up one and read it, "The Shen family's account books, how come these were brought back from outside?"

Su Qingyu motioned for Shen Zhixiu to sit down, and then ordered someone to bring in a cup of ginseng tea.

"Third Master, I'll tell you this from the beginning. It's up to you to decide how to deal with it in the end."

As long as Su Qingyu was talking about business, she would look solemn and wouldn't even hold his hand.

When Shen Zhixiu saw her expression, he knew that something might be serious. He also calmed down and listened carefully.

Su Qingyu pursed her lips and said.

"Mr. Qian met with his sister-in-law in private yesterday, and I managed to find out what they were talking about."

"Mr. Qian threatened my sister-in-law to save his son, saying that he also had a set of account books."

After Su Qingyu said this, Shen Zhixiu looked calm and asked in a calm voice, "You mean, my sister-in-law made false accounts with Mr. Qian?"

Su Qingyu nodded and went through what she was about to say again in her mind.

"One more thing, I heard from Mr. Qian that when the old man passed away, he had something to do with his sister-in-law."

"I was in such a hurry today that I didn't ask carefully what was going on. How the interrogation will be done later depends on the third master's decision."

Shen Zhixiu, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, changed his expression drastically.

"Is my father's death related to my sister-in-law?"

Shen Zhixiu stood up and shouted to Wenzhu, "Take Mr. Qian to the dungeon and I will interrogate him personally."

He walked up to Su Qingyu again, leaned over and hugged her.

"You've been tired for a long day, so go and rest first. I'll go find out what's going on, and we'll discuss what to do about it tomorrow morning."
