Qingshan received the order and left quickly.

In order to keep his position as the accountant in the Marquis' Mansion, Accountant Yu had no choice but to take out all the money he had embezzled over the years to buy three meals a day for his masters. He also prepared silver and money to distribute the monthly wages to all the servants in the mansion tomorrow.

This was no small sum of money; it was almost all the money he had embezzled over the years. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept this.

He revealed the news to other masters in the mansion that the mansion had no money to eat and needed a servant to support it, and he got the result he expected.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. When Mother Luo came over, he grabbed his sleeve and wiped away his bitter tears. Along the way, he kept telling Mother Luo how difficult life was for the elderly people who stayed in the mansion.

They had lived in the same mansion for decades and were all servants. Mother Luo knew too well what kind of person Yu the accountant was. When she heard what he said, she agreed with him but did not forget to remind him to think about how to tell the old lady later.

Accountant Yu is not a fool, so naturally he will push all the responsibilities aside.

Thinking of this, he reached into his arms and remembered that the account book he had recorded was thrown in the Wutong House.

"Mother Luo, I want to go see the lady first..."

"No need, the lady is with the old lady..."

"What?" Accountant Yu only then realized that the situation was not what he expected, and more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"How...how could this happen?"

"Mother Luo, this matter..."

Before Accountant Yu could finish his words, Luo's mother interrupted him and said, "You'd better think about how to tell the old lady and the madam."

"No, I..."

Accountant Yu smiled, took out a silver note from his bosom and stuffed it into Mother Luo's bosom.

Everyone loves banknotes, but some money is too hot to handle. Mother Luo is not stupid, so she will not accept the banknotes easily.

"Old Yu, we have been friends for decades. It's not very nice of you to suddenly do this to me..."

Seeing that Luo Mama refused to accept it, Yu the Accountant said anxiously, "Luo Mama, there are fewer and fewer elderly people in the mansion nowadays. I did make a small mistake. If something happens to me later, you can just say a few good words for me within your ability."

After getting the exact requirements from Accountant Yu, Mother Luo finally felt at ease to accept the banknote.

"Let's go. I'll act according to circumstances, but I may not be able to help you."

Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, as long as I and my family can be saved."

"Old Yu, tell me the truth, how much money did you embezzle?"

"Not much, just in all these years..."

Accountant Yu whispered a number into Mother Luo's ear.

Hearing the number, Mother Luo was shocked and quickly handed the banknote in her arms back to him.

"Your matter is too serious. I dare not help you."

After saying this, Mother Luo walked forward quickly without waiting for the accountant to speak again.

Looking at Mother Luo's back as she left, Accountant Yu thought of Mother Fang's family who were beaten to death, and Mother Zhao who would rather set fire and commit suicide with her children than confess. Accountant Yu's face turned pale and his body could not help but tremble.

Knowing that he could not escape the disaster, he followed Luo's mother in despair and walked forward with unusually heavy steps in the account room.

"No, I can't go to see the lady and the old lady..."

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so Accountant Yu turned around and ran back.

Mother Luo never thought that the accountant would dare to run away. By the time she realized something was wrong, an incense stick of time had passed.

Seeing that Canglan Courtyard was in front of them, Mother Luo was very angry. She summoned all the servants in the courtyard and chased after Accountant Yu's house outside the mansion.

Accountant Yu had embezzled a lot of money from the Marquis' Mansion over the years, and the courtyard he bought was better than that of Mama Zhao, and the neighbors around him were all servants of the prominent families in the capital.

Accountant Yu ran home in a hurry and did not attract much attention. However, Mother Luo came after him with a dozen people in a rage, which attracted the attention of others. Many people followed behind to watch the fun.

Mother Luo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but she couldn't control those people who followed behind to watch the fun, and she couldn't give up looking for accountant Yu, so she could only take people to catch the man with a grim face.

Accountant Yu knew that he had done something wrong this time, and he didn't ask for any good outcome for himself, he just wanted to protect his family.

The first thing he did when he ran back home was to find all the silver and money stored in the house and give them to his wife, asking her to escape quickly with the two children.

The accountant's wife, Ma, also knew about what had happened in the mansion in the past two days. She thought that the matter would be over after they paid the compensation, but she didn't expect that the matter was more serious than she had imagined.

At the same time, she was also an old lady in the Marquis' Mansion. She remembered vividly the miserable plight of Mother Fang and Mother Zhao. She knew that this time their family was doomed. She didn't even dare to pack her clothes. She wanted to take the silver and money and escape with her two children. However, she didn't expect that as soon as they walked out of the gate, they would be faced with Mother Luo and the dozen or so servants he brought with him.

The moment he saw Mother Luo leading a dozen people over, Accountant Yu knew that he was finished this time. He fell to his knees and kowtowed continuously.

"Mother Luo, for the sake of us all being elders in the Marquis' Mansion, please let our family go..."

The other party was from the Marquis' Mansion. Ma was holding the hands of two teenage children tightly, with fear in her eyes.

They don't want to die, but now they have no choice.

Seeing that Mother Luo and the people she brought were getting closer and closer, with many servants from other houses following behind Mother Luo, Ma retreated while thinking of countermeasures in her mind.

Mother Luo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she angrily said, "Accountant Yu, you've been the accountant in the Marquis's Mansion for more than ten years, and you know exactly what you've done. The old lady asked you to come over and explain clearly, so why did you suddenly come back home?"

"I can't go back..."

"father……"

The call from Accountant Yu's two children brought Accountant Yu back to his senses.

He knew he couldn't escape and just wanted to grab a glimmer of hope for his wife and two children.

"Mother Luo, I will go back with you right now, but my wife and children..."

"The old lady didn't want to see them."

"Yeah……"

Accountant Yu agreed readily, but secretly gave Ma a wink.

After receiving the reminder from Accountant Yu, Ma held the two children's hands even tighter and looked at Accountant Yu with worried eyes.

Knowing that he had to go, Accountant Yu nodded to him and was about to leave with Luo's mother, but the two children seemed to sense something and hugged his thighs tightly.

"Dad, don't leave, we will stay with you..."

"Silly child, Dad has something to do at the master's house and will be back soon. You stay at home and listen to your mother."

After Accountant Yu finished speaking, he pushed the two children aside and walked quickly towards the Marquis's residence.

Looking at the figure of Yu the Accountant leaving, Ma took two steps forward, but after receiving Luo Mama's warning look, she subconsciously stopped...
