Natural black penetrates into infinite flow
Chapter 33 The Rose Lie
When he woke up early in the morning, Xia Mingchi's ears were buzzing. The system didn't know whether it was because he was tired from shouting or seeing that Louis had woken up safely, and went offline and disappeared.
Louis put on his clothes, a white suit wrapped his body, his wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs were well-modified, appearing restrained and elegant.
Xia Mingchi immediately decided that if he fell in love after leaving the game, he would let his partner wear a suit!
Louis asked, "What are your plans for today?"
"Yesterday, the Duke told me to check the accounts."
Louis looked a little regretful, "It sounds quite busy."
"Yes."
Xia Mingchi reached out and brushed the broken hair on Louis's forehead, "As a boyfriend, you should be able to understand the difficulty of my busy work and won't disturb my work, right?"
Louis grabbed the hand, and kissed the fingertips with his thin lips, "Of course."
After parting with the doctor, Xia Mingchi went to the accounting room.The matter of checking accounts was his own idea.A few days ago, when I passed by the accounting room, I overheard other servants complaining that Jin came to receive a sum of money, which made it difficult to balance the accounts.
The little monster girl also mentioned Jin and said that Jin would not let her have enough food, which shows that Jin should know more about the monster girl.
However, the older maid is a confidant of the Duchess, so if she asks directly, there is a high probability that she will not get any answers, and she can only find breakthroughs from other aspects.
The accounts of the mansion may help him tear this hole.
"The butler is here?" The accounting accountant is a middle-aged man, wearing rough linen clothes, two sleeves, and a pair of glasses with round lenses on his nose.
"Take out the accounts of the past three years and show me." Xia Mingchi said, sitting in the accountant's seat.
"Ok."
The accountant didn't dare to delay, so he asked the other two young men to move out the ledger.
Xia Mingchi opened one of the books, and there were strange characters on it.
Those characters were originally incomprehensible, but the game equipped the player with a translator, so Xia Mingchi could read them effortlessly.Moreover, he had a double degree in accounting in school, and the books were not complicated, so Xia Mingchi saw the problem at a glance.
"Here, here... There are a few other places I marked, explain explain."
Xia Mingchi threw the ledger on the table and said slowly, "How many years have you been in the mansion, do you not want to do it? Why are there so many problems?"
The accountant blushed with sweat, and stammered, "These are bonuses for the servants..."
"You fart! The Duke has always been a thrifty person. He always pays as little salary as possible. How can he give bonuses? As far as I know, the bonus was only paid on the lady's birthday two years ago..."
Xia Mingchi specifically pointed out that the note was taken by Jin Ling, "A maid, besides her own wages, what does she do with so much money? Didn't you ask clearly?"
The accountant wiped off his cold sweat, pushed his glasses and said, "She said she was buying jewelry for the madam, and you also know that Jin is a celebrity in front of the duchess..."
"Madam's jewelry is expensive. Every year, a large amount of expenses will be specially arranged to purchase directly from the jeweler. Aren't you afraid that the money will be spent elsewhere?"
Xia Mingchi swept across the accountant sharply, and sneered, "The Duke is a man who loves money, what would he do if he knew that his money was short for no reason?!"
"I beg you! Please don't tell the Duke! The little ones are willing to use their own property to make up for the missing parts..."
"Whoever spends it will make up for it. This is just what I can see, and I'm afraid there are more people who haven't seen it. Now you pick out all the money taken away from the gold, list the date and amount separately, and finally calculate the total amount. Write it down and give it to me."
It was indeed useful to move out Duke Fisher, and the accountant's servant had long been patient with Jin's misappropriation of the property of the mansion.
Soon, the receipt was in Xia Mingchi's hands.Next, is to find the gold.
At this time, the older maid should be serving Miss Fisher closely.
The young lady was playing the piano in the piano room, standing aside with a serious smile in a long golden black dress, her hair was neatly coiled behind her head, she didn't even blink her eyes, like a dummy selling clothes in a shopping mall.
Xia Mingchi walked to Jin's side, "There is a package from your hometown. The postman is waiting in the front yard. Please sign for it yourself."
"Go, go," the young lady urged impatiently, disgusted at being watched by the maid like an elder disciplining a junior, her fingertips never stopped, and the music continued to flow.
Jin turned around and followed Xia Mingchi to leave. When passing by the giant rose bush, Xia Mingchi stepped forward to block Jin's way.
The older maid took a step back vigilantly, "What are you doing?!"
Xia Mingchi smiled and said: "You don't need to be so nervous, it's just that there is a question that I don't understand, and I want to ask for advice."
"On the tenth of last month, you paid a sum of gold coins in the cashier. What was it for?"
"Take it to buy jewelry for my wife."
"It's a lie. The entire mansion belongs to Madam. If she wants to buy jewelry, why bother to settle the bill? Why not simply write down the cost of the jewelry? If you are so secretive, do you really spend it on Madam, or take it out?" Spend it yourself?"
Jin took a few steps back, Xia Mingchi went up and grabbed her wrist, threatening in a low voice.
"You haven't lost the mansion's money these years, have you? The problematic accounts have been sorted out. If I hand it over to the Duke, what do you think he will do with you? He is a famous miser..."
"Guess, will he imprison you in the Iron Maiden in a fit of anger, and then feed you to the monster in the annex?"
"Scared?!" Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and the coffin finally had a frightened expression on his face, "You...what on earth do you want..."
"I can turn a blind eye to this audit. But the premise is that I must answer my questions truthfully."
"Okay..." Jin's voice trembled.
Xia Mingchi let go of his hand, "What happened to the little girl in the annex?"
Jin Changchang sighed and said, "She is the Duchess' daughter."
"I know, who was the Duchess born to?"
Jin knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth: "Of course it's with the Duke. Her name is Irene, and she is the real Miss Fisher."
That child who looks like a human, a ghost, and a violent temper is actually the real Miss Fisher!
"When Irene was eight years old, the Duchess suddenly gave me the address of an orphanage, and asked me to adopt a little girl with long wine-red hair for her, and told the little girl that she was the real lady. My daughter was lost during a garden tour when she was a child."
"In the beginning, the real Miss Fisher was locked up in the annex. My wife asked me to give her only one meal a day, and it was bread with no nutrition. The lady has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child. How did she suffer like this? They are all crying, but the more noisy the lady is, the less food Madam asks to deliver..."
"The Duchess is the one who loves her daughter the most. I don't know what happened to make a mother so cruel. At night, I saw my wife weeping secretly, praying to the idol, saying that I had no other choice. Irene was locked up for a long time. In the building, he was malnourished, didn't grow taller, and his temper was getting worse and worse. What a crime!"
At this point, tears welled up in Jin's eyes.
"I watched Irene grow up. To put it bluntly, she is just like my daughter... Sometimes I couldn't help it, and secretly went to deliver food to her. When my wife found out, I scolded her and said I'm killing her."
"Poor Irene, I can only lie down by the window and look at my favorite rose in the courtyard. It's been better in the past two years, and I can come out for activities at night."
Xia Mingchi: "I see that Madam loves the current Miss Fisher in every possible way, and she seems to be abusing her own daughter."
Jin continued: "Actually, I am also very puzzled. Madam treats Miss Xin completely according to Irene's preferences, such as muffins, such as a garden full of flowers. Miss Xin is a substitute for Irene. It would be understandable if Irene disappeared. , but my own daughter is clearly in this world, why let her own daughter not love her, but spoil a child who is not related to her by blood?"
"Are you sure that Miss Fisher and the Duchess are not related by blood? Could it be that the Duchess was born before, but they couldn't recognize each other for some reason?"
Jin shook his head, "I have been with my wife since I was a child, and she only gave birth to Irene."
"Where is the Duke, do you know about Madam's adoption of the child?"
"Yes, the two girls look similar, but not exactly the same. At that time, Irene was taller than Miss Fisher, spoke in a high-pitched voice, and had dimples when she laughed. But the Duke seemed blind and didn't respond. Lin was locked up, and she was not allowed to eat enough and completely acquiesced."
These two are really interesting...
Jin's face was full of worry, "I feel that Irene is completely different from before. When she was a child, she was like an angel, cute and playful, but now she is very scary."
Xia Mingchi had no choice but to doubt when the older maid said these words. She knew that Anne and Robert had been eaten by Irene.
"One more question," Xia Mingchi took out the accountant's prepared documents from the pocket of his tuxedo, and shook them twice between his index and middle fingers.
"What are you doing all this money for?"
"My younger brother is a gambler, and he still doesn't want to come out to pay off his gambling debts, so he can only count on me. I had some savings in the early years, but they all filled holes for him."
"So you took the risk and paid the mansion's money?" Xia Mingchi didn't expect the truth to be like this.
Jin said helplessly: "I have no choice, he can only rely on me..."
"Your brother is not yet an adult, is he?" Xia Mingchi felt that his anger had accumulated.
"38."
"Bah! If you are a 38-year-old adult with hands and feet, don't bite me! I won't report you, but the money in the mansion must be made up. I will tell the accountant to deduct 40% of my salary every month to cover it."
Kim said, "Thank you."
Xia Mingchi felt a pain in his temple, he never expected to meet Fudimo in the horror game.
"Write down the address of your gambler brother."
Jin was a little worried, "What are you going to do?"
"Free compulsory education," Xia Mingchi said very sincerely, "I want to tell him that labor is an honorable duty bestowed on every citizen by the law. He can pay off his gambling debts through hard work and get rich."
Hehe, of course, it is to find someone to beat him up, so that he can stand on his own feet!
Louis put on his clothes, a white suit wrapped his body, his wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs were well-modified, appearing restrained and elegant.
Xia Mingchi immediately decided that if he fell in love after leaving the game, he would let his partner wear a suit!
Louis asked, "What are your plans for today?"
