The imperial government sent a messenger to deliver the relief money to the Jing Prefecture personally. However, an accident happened midway and a boat was robbed by a bunch of water bandits on the waterway, so more than half of the relief money was taken away. Therefore, the silver that was sent to the Jing Prefecture could be said to be like a cup of water that had just been poured, hence the His Majesty decided to dispatch another messenger to the Jing Prefecture.

As long as one was not stupid, one could tell that this was clearly not a good job. Right now, the waterway was not peaceful, and they even dared to snatch the official ship sent by the imperial government, if they lost their lives because of this, they would be very wronged. So recently, the ministers of the Imperial Court had been very obedient, afraid that the His Majesty would take a fancy to them and send them to the unlucky Jing Prefecture to rescue the disaster.

If there was no official ship being robbed, they would probably want to snatch it. But now, no matter who they wanted to go to, whoever they wanted to go to, His Majesty saw that they were unwilling and assigned a few more people, all of them being pushed aside for various reasons. In the end, when His Majesty looked around, he saw that only Gu Yun was left, so he ordered to go to Jing Prefecture to help out the disaster.

In other words, he could take the chance to train himself. His Majesty had only sent him there because he had set his eyes on Gu Yun, and it was just that Lord Gu was newly wedded, just in case something bad happened to him, wouldn't that be a sin? Furthermore, with Lord Gu's physique, how could he withstand such a bumpy journey?

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, His Majesty decided to send Sheng Luan to accompany his. With General Sheng accompanying his, this trip would be a lot safer, as long as no accidents happened to Gu Yun, he would be able to return eventually, and even Xie Cen would not be able to say anything else. Thus, this matter was settled, time was of the essence, and they had to set off in three days.

When Gu Yun left, Xie Jingxi got busy. She left in such a hurry that shshehad to prepare everything in one go, and it was unknown how many months she would need to prepare all her clothes for the winter. It was just that because he was on duty and also going to provide relief, he could not bring too much along the way, it truly worried Xie Jingxi to death.

Gu Yun picked up Xie Jingxi who was in a hurry and placed him on the bed, "I'll leave these matters to Fang Dai and Ming Yu. Just look at how worried you are, it's not like I haven't left my house, I don't need to bring much stuff with me, at most, I'll be back in two to three months, it'll be quick."

Under these two months of smooth sailing, who knows what kind of problems they would encounter on the way back and they would have to delay it. It would be good enough for them to be able to return before the end of the year, but seeing that she was still gloomy, Gu Yun teased her, "Are you not willing to let me out? How about I consult the His Majesty and bring my family to provide assistance? "

Xie Jingxi rolled his eyes, "Are you joking? You are a honest man, if others can push you, you can't. I don't believe that I can't find an official in the imperial court."

"You, luckily you didn't become a His Majesty, or else you must have been an idiot. Who would only be oriented towards their own people, you have to go no matter who you send." Gu Yun held her face and wanted to kiss her, but he dodged to the side, causing Gu Yun to be helpless, "Isn't there still Sheng Luan here? I guarantee that if there's some trouble, I will let him go on top of it, I will definitely hide behind him, in any case, I have a wife who is in pain, Xi won't let me get out of everything, so what can I do about it?"

Xie Jingxi smacked him in the face, "Just be honest with me, anyway you just need to give them money, if you can ignore those water thieves, if they want to snatch it, give them money and escape."

"In your eyes, your husband will be so useless, he will only try to run away with his arms around your head. Even if I am willing, the General Sheng will not do it, he is a person who only cares about his face and not his life. If I admit defeat, he might just kill me first, you've probably never seen Sheng Luan fighting before, that little water thief is simply not a threat to me, it's fine."

After all, no matter what Gu Yun said, Xie Jingxi just did not let it go. Words like 'righteous and loyal heart for the nation' were thrown away like a pair of old shoes, whoever he loved could go, as long as Gu Yun came back with everything he had.

Seeing that she was being too coaxing, Gu Yun immediately closed the tent curtains and turned off the lights to go to sleep. He pressed his into his embrace and kissed his as if he had gotten his wish, "Since Xi is unwilling, then the most important thing is to feed his until he is full .."

It didn't matter who fed whom. In any case, Gu Yun's strategy was just to ensure that he wouldn't wake up on the day he left. He didn't really like sending his off, and he knew that she probably didn't like it either.

Once Gu Yun left, Xie Jingxi's heart suddenly felt empty and empty, she pondered about how after she had finished checking up on her these few days, she would move to the Villa to live until the end of the year. As for the matter of Marquis Mansion, Aunt Fang would just let her handle it if she wanted to, but if Xie Jingxi wanted to calm down, Aunt Fang would definitely not.

The leader of the Wang Fu family said: "Grand Mistress, what do you think she is? She is not some proper steward, why are you pointing fingers at us, I can let you take a look at my monthly bills, what does she want it for, in other words, the cost of each month's money is too high, she can save as much as she can, if she can't buy something unnecessary, she is so capable, why can't she just go out and buy it herself!"

The Lin family's daughter-in-law also said, "That's right, we both received a favor from the Young Mistress, so we were in the wrong in the past, but haven't we changed our ways? But now, she grabbed us and refused to let us go, saying that she didn't see much of the daily meals, yet didn't she know how much money it cost to buy the food? She knows how much money the fresh fruits from the south cost, and the top-grade mushrooms she likes are all grown in plain white, don't they?

The Aunt Fang did everything she could to find fault with Xie Jingxi, which was why it was hard for the few manager lady s, causing Xie Jingxi to not be able to talk too much, and could only console her: "Don't be impatient, mother. Since Madam wants to check the accounts, it is natural that the Aunt Fang would not neglect this matter.

Wang Fu family's disciple snorted, "In the end, I'm still looking out for Grand Mistress. If in the future, she really is going to be our family, then we won't be able to do this job!"

After Xie Jingxi easily dismissed the two stewards, she took the bill for this month and showed it to her, "Madam, in the middle of the month, when Accountant Li wanted to give me the bill, he wanted to take a look first. He said that the bill was too reduced and he needed to write down the details of the bill, so Li Zhangfang was a little unhappy, and argued with Aunt Fang for a bit."

Accountant Li had a huge argument with Aunt Fang. Originally, Accountant Li had already accumulated a lot of anger in the past few days because of Aunt Fang's interference in the accounts, and today, Aunt Fang was the first to check the bill. She even thought that her accounts were not careful enough, because she had been in the accounts for dozens of years, how could Accountant Li endure such a leisurely situation.

Once Fang Dai left, Accountant Li ran over to Lady Zeng and cried as she complained, "Today is the day that I'm looking over my accounts for Grand Mistress, not only did Aunt Fang take it to see first, she even accused me of not being careful with my accounts, you don't know what kind of person I am, my wife, I have been trembling in front of you for dozens of years, I have never dared to be careless even a little. You didn't even say anything when you were in charge of my family, how can I not look over there?

Of course, it was not Lady Zeng's intention. She was the one who beat her parents to death and trained Li Zhangfang to be her confidante, the person in charge of her family accounts was not someone that could be changed so easily, it had to be someone that her family members could trust. Of course, it was not that there were no successors, it was not that easy to change them, it was that the matter at Aunt Fang was not done well.

What did Li Zhangfang say? How old are you, and how many more years do you need to work on it? As for the matter regarding the checking of the accounts, I allowed it, and did not do it for you, but for my eldest son's wife who took it over. She is a filial son, and I cannot muddle my way and hand it over to her.

The Aunt Fang could not be too harsh on her own people, suspicions were one aspect, but still had to be acceptable in terms of face. When Aunt Fang determined that their hands and feet were not clean, they did things in a way that was a bit too hasty.

Xie Jingxi looked at the bill and asked, "Did Mother say anything?"

"Marquis' Wife naturally wanted to advise Accountant Li, and even though he said a few things about Aunt Fang, in the end, he listened to Aunt Fang's words, and said that from now on, the bill would be as detailed as possible. Aunt Fang even personally made a month's worth of bill for me to demonstrate.

Xie Jingxi instructed Fang Dai, "Since you said it was mother's wish, then cooperate a little and check the debts, there won't be anything wrong, but I am thinking, Li Zhangfang is the one who was married to wife, so logically speaking, she shouldn't have split from us, I initially thought that I knew about it but now it seems that my wife is suspicious of her, does Accountant Li have some other backer?"

Fang Dai understood the meaning behind Xie Jingxi's words, and turned around to personally investigate the background of the Accountant Li. Although Aunt Fang acted in a rush, she had already seen through Lady Zeng's intentions. She had roughly seen through the suspicions Lady Zeng had towards her, which was why she had fearlessly offended her. Looking at it now, Li Zhangfang was not that clean either. Aunt Fang was a smart person, he couldn't bribe her previously, but she could tell that she was not a simple person, hence she thought of using this opportunity to take her down.

Xie Jingxi had always suspected that there was another force other than the Lady Zeng in the Marquis Mansion. In the beginning, she thought that the Lady Zeng was secretive about it, pretended ignorance and didn't seem to ask too much about the affairs of the manor. In reality, she knew what was going on. Lady Zeng thought that with Senior Servant Liu helping her take control of her Marquis Mansion, she would feel at ease being his Marquis' Wife. However, in reality, she was probably being kept in the dark because of a lot of things.

However, the Aunt Fang seemed to have a plan in mind regarding his own accounting, she did not care about the more furious attitude of the stewards at all. She used the accounting to thoroughly question the personnel in the residence, saying that a manager lady who had stayed in her position for too long would inevitably have a corpse and vegetarian meal, and wanted to change the jobs of the various manager lady s. If they could not do it, then they could only change to a young wife.

This time, many people could not sit still. Li Zhangfang was a smart person, knowing that the Lady Zeng had made up her mind to investigate them, and if they found face, they would go easy on him. The wives of the Chen family in charge of the warehouse had a big temper, and when they heard that the Aunt Fang wanted to switch their jobs, they immediately went on strike and refused to hand over the key to the warehouse.
