Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Ning Su sent Shen Nanqiao back to the gate of Songchangxuan, and then hurried back to the palace.

During the period before New Year's Eve, he was so busy with official duties that he had no time to spare.

Although Shen Nanqiao was curious about the past, he was able to distinguish between the priorities and knew the difference between personal and official matters.

"Wait until the New Year's Eve banquet." She gave a sly smile, "If I still haven't guessed it by then, you can tell me."

Ning Su looked at her deeply, nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when Shen Nanqiao suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

The girl handed the hand warmer to him and trotted into the yard without looking back, not even giving him a chance to refuse.

Ning Su returned to the carriage holding a delicate hand warmer, looking at him with a helpless smile. Liuyun glanced over curiously, and ended up meeting his master's eyes.

I thought it was all over.

Unexpectedly, Ning Su said nothing and just got into the carriage.

Liuyun became more and more puzzled. Didn’t they usually ride horses together?

The Governor always complains that the bus ride is too slow. What happened today?

On second thought, he remembered what the young mistress had told him at the palace gate that day, saying that it would be easy to catch a cold if he rode a horse in this kind of weather.

I didn't see the governor say anything at that time, but he just turned around and did as he was told.

Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart that getting married is really powerful, it can turn steel into soft silk.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know that Liuyun admired her so much. When she hurried back to Songchangxuan, she saw Nanny Liu coming out to greet her from afar.

Shen Nanqiao took a few quick steps forward, but heard Aunt Liu lowering her voice and reporting in her ear.

"Amber sneaked over to Aunt Shen's place today and gave her some old ginseng. She has been sending a lot of things over here and there over the past half month."

Shen Nanqiao sneered. Although they had only been married for more than a month, Shen Jingyi had already been avoided in a desperate situation.

Based on her understanding of this concubine sister, she must be at the end of her rope at this time. After suffering from not having a dowry, she must be trying to reach out to her.

"I know what's going on. I must keep a close eye on her when I'm not in the mansion these two days."

With the experience of the previous life as a lesson, if she guessed correctly, Shen Jingyi would not only drain her away bit by bit, but would also soon poison Amber.

But in this life, she will not just sit there and wait for death, but will also give others a taste of their own medicine.

"Are the two girls who poisoned us last time still in the mansion?"

Nanny Liu paused, then she remembered that she was talking about Cuihuan and Cuiyu.

"It should be. At that time, the Madam said that she would spare their lives and not sell them. Her father and mother were both family-born children, so how could they dare to act rashly?"

Shen Nanqiao walked slowly to the dressing table, sat down, and pondered for a moment.

"Call them both over here. Make a little more noise. The more people know, the better."

Nanny Liu had no idea what Shen Nanqiao was up to, but everything that had happened in the past few days had made her admire this young lady very much.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I will go and call someone over right now."

Shen Nanqiao lifted the curtain and entered the room, and saw Linglong coming back with water, and Amber following with a towel in her hand.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at the two older girls, called them over, and went straight to the point.

"I've looked through the account book these past two days and found something wrong. When we left the Shen family, except for the twelve shops left by mother, we had a clear account of all the other silver items." She looked at Amber, then at Linglong, "but now there is one item missing."

The two looked at each other.

Linglong has always been quick-witted.

"The young lady's dowry only passed through the hands of the two of us. Which item is missing?"

"The expenses of our Songchangxuan are independent from those of the Marquis' Mansion. Since I came into the family, the monthly allowance has been increased on top of the public account. The third-class servants have been given an extra half tael of silver each month, and the second-class servants have been given an extra tael of silver each month. We don't have any first-class maids or servants in our courtyard, so the total monthly allowance should be ten taels of silver."

Shen Nanqiao drank his tea slowly.

"But I took a look today. The monthly salary alone in the public account is eight taels more, not counting the miscellaneous expenses." She smiled and put down the pastel teacup. "Eight taels is not a lot of money, but there should be an explanation."

Amber's eyes flickered and she didn't respond.

Linglong was a little anxious.

"When we were at home, we all learned how to do accounting from the young lady. Let alone eight taels, even eight cents of silver should not be wrong."

As he said this, he was about to look through the account book to check the expenses.

Shen Nanqiao nodded.

"That's right. There is no order without rules. Although the amount of money is not much, the discrepancy is really huge. Who of you is in charge of the monthly salary?"

Amber seemed relatively calm and she stepped forward.

"I am the one who pays the monthly allowance, and it is all done according to the young lady's instructions. I have never added or deleted anything without permission. There are records of this, and you can check it."

Linglong was quick and had already brought the account book.

Shen Nanqiao opened the booklet and checked every entry carefully.

"There are only six or seven days left in this month, how can you predict the money for next month?" She pointed at the account book, "Where did the fruit come from? Don't we have a share in our room? Do we have to go out to buy fruit? And the rouge and powder, I always go to Lingbaozhai to pick them myself, where did this come from?"

Amber was a little nervous at this time. She never expected that Shen Nanqiao would check the accounts so carefully, but fortunately, he did not find the things in the inventory for Aunt Shen, so she pretended to be calm.

"Because there are more social interactions this month, the official allowance is not enough. The powder and hair oil were not provided by their family on time, so I asked someone to buy them."

At this time, Madam Liu came in with the two maids.

Amber was slightly stunned.

The two men knelt down respectfully and saluted Shen Nanqiao. Shen Nanqiao glanced at them and spoke slowly.

"It's not easy to beg for food from your brother and sister-in-law these days, right?"

It's not just not easy, it's like living a year in a day.

With the promise made by the Marquis’ wife and her status as a first-class maid, I always felt that I was only one step away from reaching the sky.

But after making such a big joke, he was lucky to be able to save his life, and he had to live in fear every day, fearing that he would be sold out at any time.

When Shen Nanqiao asked this question, the two of them looked at each other and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Please give me a chance to live, ma'am."

Shen Nanqiao fiddled with the account book in his hand and swept his eyes over the people.

"I am currently short of a first-class maid in my house. If you two can turn over a new leaf, you can consider filling the position."

The two looked at each other, unable to believe that such a good thing could happen in the world.

The allowance for a first-class maid in Songchangxuan is twice that of a maid in the Marquis's Mansion.

The two men immediately knelt forward, hugged Shen Nanqiao's calves on the left and right, and made solemn promises.

"Madam, your kindness is like giving birth to a new life. We will serve you wholeheartedly until our death."

Shen Nanqiao cleared his throat.

"But there is only one first-class vacancy in this room."

Cuihuan and Cuiyu looked at each other, with hostility in their eyes.

Shen Nanqiao looked around, paused and spoke again.

"It just so happens that there is a problem with my account. Whoever can find it out will get the position. It depends on your ability to decide which of you two can take the position."

Amber's heart sank.

There have always been only two maids beside the young lady, her and Linglong. Now a new one is being sent in to replace her. Could it be that she has discovered the secret affair between her and Concubine Shen?

Then Cui Yu spoke first.

"Madam, rest assured. As long as the account is still in the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion, I will find a way to catch the person."

Amber's face suddenly turned ugly.
