All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Xiao Cui was standing by, secretly observing Qiao Wenjie's expression, and she was already somewhat confident in her heart.

She deliberately touched Lu Yundi's hand lightly, giving her a hint.

Lu Yundi's heart moved, and he deliberately said: "Brother Qiao, since you are so concerned about the financial situation of our family, why don't we talk about it in detail. How about this, you tell us all your ideas and suggestions, so that my husband and I can refer to them."

Qiao Wenjie's eyes flashed with pride, and he was about to speak, but was beaten to it by Xiao Cui: "Master Qiao, do you think there is something wrong with the financial situation of our family?"

Qiao Wenjie was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Cui to ask a question out of the blue. He smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Cui, you misunderstood. I just mentioned it casually. I didn't mean it that way."

Xiao Cui's eyes were sharp, and she pressed on: "Master Qiao, you don't have to be modest. If you really have suggestions, you might as well say it directly. My husband and I won't mind."

Qiao Wenjie's forehead was covered with sweat. He felt the pressure. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke: "Well, since you all said so, I will speak frankly. I think there are indeed some problems with the financial situation of the mansion. For example, the mansion's expenses have been increasing in recent years, while the income has not increased significantly."

Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi looked at each other and already had the answer in their hearts.

Qiao Wenjie's intention has been fully exposed.

Lu Yundi sneered: "Brother Qiao, you really care about our family. However, you seem to have forgotten one thing. We know the financial situation of our family. If you really care, please show your sincerity and help us solve the practical problems."

Qiao Wenjie's face changed. He didn't expect Lu Yundi to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister Yundi, I just mentioned it casually, and I didn't mean any harm. Since you are so confident, then I feel relieved."

The three of them said goodbye and left the Qiao Mansion. When they returned home, Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi immediately began to discuss countermeasures.

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Husband, Qiao Wenjie's intentions are already very obvious. We must strengthen our defenses and not let him take advantage of any opportunity."

Jiang Jilian nodded: "Madam is right. I will strengthen the measures in the mansion. At the same time, we must keep a close eye on Qiao Wenjie's movements to prevent him from acting secretly."

Xiao Cui, who was standing nearby, interrupted softly, "Master, Madam, I think Qiao Wenjie is a man who should not be underestimated. He is very cunning, and we must be careful in dealing with him."

Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

……

Ye Wanxue took the account book, looked at it carefully, and immediately shouted: "This account is wrong, how can there be such a huge deficit? Lord, what is going on?"

Jiang Jilian came over after hearing the noise. He looked at Ye Wanxue's excited expression, frowned slightly, but with a hint of smile on his face, he slowly walked to her side and patted her shoulder: "Wanxue, don't be excited, sit down and talk slowly."

Ye Wanxue calmed down a little, but she still looked a little nervous despite Jiang Jilian's comfort. She sat back in her chair and handed the account book to Jiang Jilian.

Jiang Jilian took the account book, checked it carefully, and then slowly said: "Wanxue, there are indeed some problems with this account. But I can assure you that this is not intentional. Perhaps, it was the negligence of our servants who manage the accounts."

Ye Wanxue bit her lower lip tightly and looked at Jiang Jilian firmly: "My Lord, this is too much negligence. I suspect there must be something fishy going on."

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Okay, since you are so suspicious, let's get to the bottom of it together. I want to see what secrets are hidden in this account."

After that, Jiang Jilian ordered the clerk in the accounting office to come and question him one by one. Ye Wanxue sat aside and carefully observed the changes in the clerk's expression.

The clerk was frightened by Jiang Jilian's eyes and answered tremblingly: "My Lord, I am indeed in charge of this account, but I can swear that I have never been negligent. I am also very confused about the deficit in this account."

Ye Wanxue looked at the clerk coldly: "Since you are so sure, how do you explain the deficit in the account?"

The clerk gritted his teeth, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "This...this, I really don't know. Maybe someone did it on purpose."

Hearing this, Jiang Jilian's face suddenly became serious: "In that case, you don't have to manage the accounts from today onwards. I will arrange for someone else in the mansion to review the accounts again."

The clerk nodded hurriedly and retreated. Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "Wanxue, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been deceived by this account."

Ye Wanxue smiled gently, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes: "My Lord, I'm afraid this account matter is not as simple as it seems. I'm worried that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this."

Jiang Jilian patted Ye Wanxue's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will handle it carefully. The most important thing now is that we must find out the truth and clear the account."

After checking numerous accounts, Ye Wanxue discovered the key to the problem. She pointed to a huge amount of expenditure in the account book and said to Jiang Jilian, "My Lord, look at this expenditure. It is so large, but there is no explanation. I suspect this is the root cause of the deficit in the account."

Jiang Jilian took a closer look, a gleam in his eyes: "Yes, this expenditure is indeed suspicious. Wanxue, do you have any way to find out the truth about this expenditure?"

Ye Wanxue pondered for a moment, then said, "My Lord, we can start from the timeline of this expenditure to find out what happened in the mansion that day. In addition, we can also investigate the accountant that day to see if he did anything unusual."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Wanxue, your suggestion is good. Let's do as you say and immediately investigate the accountant who did that day."

Ye Wanxue took the order and stood up immediately, but just as she reached the door, she turned back and added, "My Lord, I still need your support. If the accountant is involved, we must take precautions. We need to ensure the smooth progress of the investigation."

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything." Jiang Jilian responded in a deep voice, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness.

After Ye Wanxue left, Jiang Jilian sat alone in the room, thinking for a long time.

The next day, Ye Wanxue returned to the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion with the results of her investigation. She stood in front of Jiang Jilian with a serious expression, "My Lord, there is indeed something wrong with the account clerk. His name is Wang Gui, and he has been working in the mansion since he was a child. He seems to be honest, but in fact he is scheming. During my investigation, I found that on the day of the expenditure, he went out for a while without permission, and had close contact with merchants outside the mansion."

Jiang Jilian's face darkened after hearing this: "Wang Gui, it turned out to be him. It seems that this account clerk is not as simple as he seems. Wanxue, please continue to investigate. I want to know where this expenditure went."
