I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

"Mrs. Guo San means that if I don't follow the old rules, it won't be your fault if something goes wrong?"

The moment the nine-year-old finished speaking, the whole hut fell silent.

With red lips and white teeth, she looked like a fairy, but her smile sent chills down people's spines. The housekeepers felt their hearts pounding when they saw Zhao Fangyu's smile.

Guo Sanniang, who was at the top, stubbornly lowered her head and refused to retreat. She replied in an increasingly dull tone, "That's not what I meant. You are worrying too much, young lady. It's really because the Madam is very strict, and we are afraid of making mistakes."

Guo Sanniang was also testing the relationship between Zhao Fangyu and the first lady.

After all, she was born from the aunt's belly. If it was the eldest girl sitting here today, Guo Sanniang would never do this even if she was beaten to death.

But since she is the fourth girl, she has to seek wealth and honor at the risk of her own risk.

She was an old mother, and even if she messed up her job and brought the incident to the attention of the eldest lady, she would only be scolded.

But if I could really get the Fourth Young Lady to surrender in front of me... I don't know how much benefit I could get. The best tea sets in the storehouse would cost at least several hundred taels!

Zhao Fangyu sat steadily and could see the expressions of the people below clearly.

"What does Miss Guo mean? I am young and don't understand some of the things you said. Miss Guo, please teach me a lesson."

"According to the old rules, how many bowls and plates are used for a banquet? How many go out and how many come back? How much is the general loss? How is it lost? Are they dropped or thrown away? How to deal with the remaining matching items?"

"How do we deliver banquet dishes to the kitchen, and tea sets to the tea room? What is the loss of these? Who are the people who serve tea and water and dishes during the banquet? Who will do the work left behind when these people leave?"

"What kind of candles were used at the banquet? What kind of tables were used? How many tables of each material are there in the warehouse now? Are they all intact? Are there any scratches or paint loss? How to repair them?"

"What kind of vases are on display? What flowers are in them? How many pots are the girls playing with? How many leaf cards are they playing with? How old are they?"

Guo Sanniang was unable to answer and acted embarrassed: "I was just kindly reminding you, young lady. Since you don't appreciate it and want to do something new to please the Madam, then I wish you all the best."

Being suppressed by a nine-year-old girl, the always domineering Guo Sanniang was still indignant: "Young lady, why do you have to embarrass us servants? We servants are all miserable people. If there is anything wrong, Fourth Young Lady can just tell us directly. Whether to reward or punish, it is up to the Madam to decide. Why do you have to speak in a sarcastic way and embarrass us servants?"

Some mothers were already sweating profusely and their knees were weak when they heard this. If the people around them hadn’t supported them quickly, they would have probably collapsed to their knees!

Everyone lowered their heads, and in their hearts they were all shouting, "God, please come and shut up Guo Sanniang!" Yue Lanxuan was tossed apart by the fourth lady, and now he's still talking about his old master? ! How could I not have seen that this person was such a troublemaker before? Is he really going to drag everyone in the treasury into the water? !

Before the mothers in charge could find a solution, Zhao Fangyu asked, "Who did I order just now?"

Several housekeepers bowed together and said, "Yes, it's my servant."

Zhao Fangyu asked again, "Is the name of Manager Guo among the people I just selected?"

The mothers in charge once again responded in unison: "No."

Zhao Fangyu nodded, as if he had realized something: "I didn't point it out to you, but you jumped out and wanted to instruct me. I didn't obey you, and asked you a few questions. If you couldn't answer, then I am making things difficult for you?"

Guo Sanniang knelt down with a thud and said that she dared not, and that Zhao Fangyu had misunderstood.

Zhao Fangyu looked at the mothers in charge below, a group of people in their thirties whose children were older than Zhao Fangyu. At the moment, they were completely suppressed by Zhao Fangyu, and even felt a slight sense of suffocation.

The whole courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Suer served Zhao Fangyu another cup of new tea: "This is the black tea given by the eldest lady the other day. Try it, young lady."

For a moment, everyone below buried their heads deeper.

The lady has been crushed into this state before she has even been carried out. What will happen if she is carried out?

Zhao Fangyu took a sip, and his fingertips were warmed to a light pink.

"You violated orders, contradicted your master, and confused right and wrong. Just for these three things, the treasury will not allow you to stay as a hypocrite."

"Since you are in charge of the wine vessels, let's start with you. You don't know what others have, but you can't be confused about your own things, right?"

"Just tell me the number and I'll ask someone to check it. If the account and the actual items match, I'll forgive you the three major crimes. If not, I'll report it to my mother. From now on, whether you have to sweep or wash, it's up to your luck."

Mother Guo: “…”

Mother Guo was already shaking like a sieve, and she wanted to kowtow a few times, just hoping that this little devil in front of her would be magnanimous and forgive her mistakes!

Zhao Fangyu sat at the top and ate snacks, and asked someone to distribute some to the mothers in charge below. Unfortunately, no one was in the mood to eat, so the good stuff was wasted.

Suer took people to check the wine vessels and made a detailed list based on the number reported by Guo's mother.

The warehouse was opened in public, and all the things were moved out one by one in front of everyone. Even if Guo Sanniang had two more tongues, she couldn't justify it.

Zhao Fangyu asked the eldest lady for the accounts and copied out the accounts related to the wine vessels one by one.

"On the third day of last month, the Second Master was drinking in the study and broke a silver wine pot."

"On the 16th of this month, Miss Seven broke a Geyao ice-cracked wine glass?"

On the 16th of this month, the day she moved, Jiaolu held a small banquet.

Zhao Fangmo was also there, having followed Zhao Fangjin. From beginning to end, Zhao Fangmo did not break anything, and Zhao Fangyu remembered it clearly.

As for Qingping Courtyard, Zhao Minshan did not go there, the eldest lady never drank, and there would be no wine vessels in Qingping Courtyard.

This account came about in a strange way.

"Where did Miss Seven break the wine glass? Qingping Courtyard?"

Guo Sanniang's heartbeat was like a drum, beating loudly and making people tremble.

She had to gamble, she had to gamble, she gambled that Zhao Fangyu and the eldest lady were not close enough, and didn't know that the eldest lady did not drink in private, or if she was exposed, she could lie to Zhao Fangyu and say that the eldest lady did not drink in front of the younger generation.

Under Zhao Fangyu's half-smiley gaze, Guo Sanniang nodded nervously.

The next second, her red lips parted slightly, revealing a few cold white teeth: "I have been in Qingping Court for three years, and I have never seen my mother drink. Even my older sister who lives with me rarely drinks at home."

"My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, so all the things in Songtao Courtyard are accounted for separately. My second brother is studying hard in seclusion, and he doesn't have the habit of drinking while studying. On the 16th, I was the only one who moved to Jiaolu, set up a small banquet, and asked for wine vessels."

"Even if he falls, he should fall in Jiaolu."

Guo Sanniang failed to deceive and immediately changed her story, saying that she had remembered it wrong and that the cup was broken by Zhao Fangmo when he was playing in Jiaolu.

"really?"

Guo Sanniang didn't dare to nod, but looked at the ground in silence. At this point, she already understood that Zhao Fangyu was setting a trap for her, but she had no choice but to jump in. Step by step, Zhao Fangyu blocked her way completely, and she could only follow Zhao Fangyu's words.

The next moment, the real purpose was revealed.
