Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

The handover between the two was quick and natural.

Shen Jingyi didn't say any unnecessary nonsense and said directly: "Butler Xue, from now on, you will be responsible for handling all the affairs in the mansion. We can just check the accounts once a week."

Steward Xue smiled and quickly responded, "Yes."

Then, Shen Jingyi said: "Also, you are also an old man in the mansion, and you must know more about the situation in the mansion than I do.

I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, and I don't want the problems that happened in the mansion to happen again.

I think you are well aware of some of the bad habits in the mansion, and I don’t want to see them again in the future.

Especially those who gather together at night to drink and gamble.

From now on, anyone caught will be sold immediately."

Hearing this, Steward Xue was shocked and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, I will arrange it and inform everyone right away."

Shen Jingyi thought for a moment and added, "Inform the patrolling soldiers. If they encounter anyone, just tie them up and throw them outside the yard. Just report it the next day."

Butler Xue nodded repeatedly and said he would definitely do as the lady asked.

He just thought that this was Shen Jingyi's first move after taking office, so he planned to accept it first and then continue to observe.

The Princess of Chu had also caught someone in this matter before, but it was eventually dropped. I don’t know how long this person can hold on.

What he didn't know was that the matter had been left unresolved before because those people were useful to Chu Mengyao.

But Shen Jingyi doesn't need these people, so they are destined to be in trouble.

Shen Jingyi actually didn't really trust Butler Xue.

She always felt that there was something wrong with Butler Xue, otherwise so many things would not have happened before.

She had to deal with these people before moving into the East Palace.

So, she directly ordered: "Chunliu, Qiukui, the two of you help Steward Xue to correct the bad habits in the mansion."

"Yes, concubine." Chunliu and Qiukui smiled at each other, obviously very interested in this job.

Then Shen Jingyi ordered again: "Mammy, Chuntao, Xiazhu, and Dongmei will give you two days to sort out the warehouse."

"Yes, concubine." The four of them immediately responded.

"Butler Xue, please leave the account books from previous years with me for now. You can look at them after I finish my confinement!" After Shen Jingyi gave the order, she said to Butler Xue.

"Yes, Concubine, you can look at those account books anytime.

I will go down to arrange the affairs of the mansion first." Butler Xue responded respectfully.

"Go!" Shen Jingyi's tone was very friendly and gentle, but the housekeeper now did not dare to underestimate this concubine.

He had to go back quickly and tell them to behave themselves.

Butler Xue and the two servants bowed and retreated. Chuntao and Qiukui also bowed and followed.

After they left, Chuntao and Xiazhu moved the screen aside, revealing Shen Jingyi.

"When you take inventory of those things, you should not only look at the quantity, but also pay attention to whether the items are genuine and of good quality."

Shen Jingyi reminded that she remembered seeing such plots in novels and TV shows before, and she hoped that it was just a plot and she would not encounter it.

"Yes, the concubines and servants have made note of it."

Shen Jingyi nodded, "Go!"

"Yes," several people saluted and left.

Soon, Qiuju and Dongxue were the only ones left in the room.

The two of them happily went to the bedside to see Xiao Ziyang, thinking: Now there won't be so many people snatching it away.

As Shen Jingyi had instructed, no one was caught gambling that night.

However, Nanny Qin brought back two things.

"Concubine, look at this jade lion, what can you see?"

Shen Jingyi picked it up and looked at it carefully, puzzled.

"That's no problem."

Nanny Qin looked at Shen Jingyi with a serious look on her face, "The bead in the lion's mouth should be jade, but now it has turned into stone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyi immediately moved closer to take a look. Sure enough, the bead in the jade lion's mouth was dull and looked like an ordinary stone.

Her heart tightened and she gently took out the stone. She looked at it carefully in the dim light and found that it was stained with color.

Her face suddenly darkened.

She pointed at the two ginseng roots and asked, "What about this one?"

“The age is wrong. These two are obviously only thirty years old, but they are mixed with fifty-year-old ginseng.

The book records the thirty-year-old ginseng that was bought for the prince to make soup."

There was a hint of anger in Nanny Qin's tone.

Shen Jingyi was shocked and asked in shock: "What was the soup that the prince drank before?"

"Could it be a radish?" She threw out this thought, but then realized that this was not her focus.

So she asked again: "Who is the person who manages the warehouse?"

"It's Butler Xue's youngest son." Nanny Qin replied, unable to hide her disappointment.

Oh my goodness, it looks like the butler has to take action this time.

Shen Jingyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said calmly: "Put these things back quietly first, and don't attract other people's attention.

You guys continue to check, and write down any problems you find, and we'll handle them one by one, and the housekeeper will handle them last."

"Yes, concubine."

Several people responded in unison. They also knew that the housekeeper couldn't move for the time being, otherwise no one would dare to jump out from behind.

How can they arrest people then?
