Su Qingyu snorted angrily, "This morning Third Master said that the recent porridge is not as good as before. You are not bullying my new housekeeper, so you are fooling me with the poor ones, right?"

"You're just fooling around with other things, how dare you fool around with Third Master's things?"

The news that Shen Zhixiu had thrown the bowl in the morning spread throughout the house. At this time, several of the nuns following Mrs. Yan looked at each other and understood.

It seems that the third lady was scolded by the third master in the morning, so she came to the kitchen to question her in anger.

Mrs. Yan didn't take it seriously. She just thought that the third lady was angry and wanted to come to the kitchen to find an explanation.

The red japonica rice in the house was sent from Jiangnan. Mrs. Yan didn't have the ability to do anything with the red japonica rice. So she felt confident and calm on the face.

"Third Madam knows it well, how dare I give Third Master bad rice. The red japonica rice in our house is tribute rice from the south of the Yangtze River. Third Madam can go in and see it in person."

Su Qingyu was a little suspicious, "Are you serious?"

Mrs. Yan swore that everything she said was true.

It happened that the fish was being collected nearby, and the delivery person came to Mrs. Yan with the account book.

"Manager Yan, the gold flat fish delivered today have been weighed. Please give them your seal."

Su Qingyu glanced at the account book and saw clearly the gold flat fish written on it.

Then I glanced at the fish not far away with my peripheral vision, and it was clearly a silverfish.

Goldfish and silverfish only differ in the color of their fins and tails, but they are the same after being cooked. In terms of price, the difference is twice as high.

Su Qingyu stepped forward and snatched the account book. Looking at the seal on it, she said coldly, "Manager Yan, that's clearly a silver flatfish, why is it written as a gold flatfish?"

"You still dare to say that japonica rice is good? You dare to tamper with this fish. Who knows if you didn't change the rice?"

"I have to tell the third master that this matter is not my fault. I have suffered an unreasonable disaster."

After saying that, he coldly ordered Chuntao beside him, "Go to the west courtyard and call our people. First, take over the kitchen and purchase here. No one is allowed to collude, and no one is allowed to touch the account books and things here."

Then he told Jade, "Detain the fish delivery guy first, they are all in the same group."

"I'm going to check this rice carefully today."

Before Mrs. Yan and the others could react, Feicui and the others had already taken action.

Chuntao had already hurried to the west yard to call for help. For a moment, the entire yard where goods were being received was silent.

Anyone who tried to speak or resist was tied up by Jade and stuffed with rags.

These women are naturally no match for Jade. After a while, they all died down.

Especially Mrs. Yan, Jade didn't let her say a word.

This was what Su Qingyu had told her in advance. If Mrs. Yan opened her mouth, she would definitely mention the old lady and Grandma Hua. As long as she mentioned it, Su Qingyu would have some scruples.

So just don't let her speak, and Su Qingyu won't be embarrassed.

Soon, all the maids and servants from the west courtyard came and took over the affairs here directly.

Everyone responsible for purchasing and receiving goods was kidnapped by Su Qingyu.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qingyu did not say anything, but personally led people to conduct a thorough investigation of the purchasing and kitchen accounts. These tied people were also interrogated separately.

The entire kitchen and the yard where goods are purchased and received are also surrounded by Su Qingyu's people.

At noon, people from each hospital came to the kitchen to pick up lunch meals. Unusual noises in the kitchen were also heard.

Li Chaoyun, who had a keen mind, immediately sent someone to the kitchen to investigate. Although I didn't find out anything specific, I could tell that Su Qingyu was checking the accounts.

Li Chaoyun had checked all the personnel in the house these days, so he knew that Su Qingyu went to Qingyuan Residence immediately after checking the accounts.

Whether intentionally or not, the old lady was taking a nap when she went.

The entire Shen family knew that the old lady was taking a nap, and no big deal would disturb her at this time. So Li Chaoyun suddenly came over, and the servants in Qingyuanju only thought that the princess had just gotten married and came without knowing it.

Aunt Hua came out to explain in person and served tea to Li Chaoyun.

"If the princess is tired, it is better to go back and rest first. When the old lady wakes up, I will send someone to ask the princess to speak."

Li Chaoyun took the tea and said politely: "Mommy, you're welcome, I'll just wait here for my grandma."

Then he said: "I don't know how the third aunt's investigation is going. I want to help, but I'm afraid that the third aunt will mind."

Aunt Hua was very suspicious, "What is Third Madam investigating? I am confused after listening to what the princess said."

Li Chaoyun pretended to be surprised, "Don't you know, Auntie Hua? There are so many people making trouble in the kitchen and in the back."

"I heard that the third aunt is checking the accounts and suspects that Manager Yan, who is in charge of purchasing, is corrupt."

"I've met Manager Yan once, but he doesn't look like that."

Grandma Hua was stunned. The third lady was checking the kitchen and making purchases? Qingyuanju didn't receive any news at all.

Was it that the Third Madam was afraid of her interfering and deliberately didn't reveal the news?

Grandma Hua has been following the old lady for many years, and she has developed the ability to hide her emotions and anger.

So there was nothing visible on his face, "The third lady, the housekeeper, has her own reasons for checking the accounts. I guess there is something wrong there."

Li Chaoyun rubbed the lines on the edge of the tea cup and chuckled.

"I came to pay my respects to my grandmother two days ago, and I saw Manager Yan chatting and having fun with her."

"Since she is someone whom grandma values, why is the third aunt still causing such a big fuss? Isn't this a loss of grandma's face?"

Aunt Hua smiled, wondering if Li Chaoyun really didn't know about her relationship with Manager Yan. I still knew it in my heart and told her on purpose.

"The princess made a strong statement, but she is just a servant. The old lady has given the entire inner house to the third lady, so the third lady can naturally move them."

Seeing that Aunt Hua didn't say a word about Su Qingyu, Li Chaoyun secretly cursed the old fox.

But it doesn’t matter, what Grandma Hua says is not important, what matters is what she thinks.

As long as she has resentment and dissatisfaction with Su Qingyu in her heart, things in Qingyuanju will be easier to handle in the future.

Li Chaoyun pretended to be confused and sighed, "Maybe the rules in our family are different from those in the Shen family. No one dares to touch the people our grandmother values."

"Not only my grandmother, but also the maids and women around my grandmother, and my mother and concubine all gave me great honor."

"My mother-in-law said that we should also be respectful and polite to the people around my grandmother. If they serve my grandmother well, they will do a service to the Li family."

Li Chaoyun watched the expression on Granny Hua's face change again and again, and felt extremely satisfied.

After everything was said, Li Chaoyun stood up and left, saying he would come back when the old lady woke up.

After seeing Li Chaoyun away, Grandma Hua sat in the sun at the door of the main room, pondering Li Chaoyun's words in her mind.

While he was stunned, he saw Su Qingyu suddenly hurried into the yard.

Aunt Hua quickly stood up and saluted, "I'd like to pay tribute to the third lady. The old lady hasn't gotten up yet."

Su Qingyu looked around and moved closer to Nanny Hua.

"Mommy, please keep your voice down. I'm not looking for grandma. I have something important to discuss with grandma."
