Chapter 040 Account Book
Rong Que rushed over from the study as soon as he heard the news that Su Qingqing had returned.
But standing at the door, he could hear low sobbing in the room with his amazing hearing, and his hand that was pushing the door was frozen in place.
This person has always been invulnerable in front of him, and when he confronts others, he makes them speechless. Now, actually...
What's wrong with her?
This definitely can't be homesickness .
If this person could cry like this just because he missed home, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to come here.
Rong Que became unusually irritated. He wanted to go in and ask this person what had happened, but he felt that he and she were just using each other and he shouldn't worry too much.
He has been decisive for more than twenty years and has never been as hesitant as he is now.
He stood at the door for as long as the crying in the room continued. Until there was no sound in the room, Rong Que curled his fingers hanging in the air several times and finally clenched his fist and turned away.
"Where has she gone?" Rong Que asked Ming Lu as soon as he returned to the study.
"I only went to Shattered Red Tower." Minglu answered truthfully.
Rong Que frowned, "Who did you meet in the Broken Red Tower?"
"I went in and ordered Chun Jiao, the top dish in Suihonglou."
Chunjiao...Rong Que's heart suddenly beat faster.
Ming Lu continued, "Su Xiang went there later. I don't know what they said to Chun Jiao, but after the Madam left the Broken Red Mansion, Su Xiang got drunk at Chun Jiao's place and didn't leave."
Rong Que's throbbing heartbeat quickened a little.
Why did you choose Chunjiao?
Is he overthinking it?
Minglu looked at Rong Que's expression and said, "But besides me, the people following the Majesty are also the Second Prince's men. In addition, the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion has also sent people to follow. But judging from the Majesty's reaction, it seems that the servant knows."
Rong Que hardly heard what Qingming Lu said, his mind was full of Su Qingqing's crying .
Is it because you went to Shattered Red Mansion and saw Chunjiao crying?
Chunjiao is obviously that man's!
If Su Qingqing really cried because she saw Chunjiao, then what is the relationship between Su Qingqing and that person?
Su Qingqing had said before that she came to Dayan Kingdom just for that man, and he only believed three-quarters of her words, but now, he couldn't help but think about the relationship between Su Qingqing and that man.
Su Qingqing's behavior is really weird.
Seeing Rong Que remained silent for a while, Minglu guessed his master's thoughts, "Your Highness, do you want me to go to Suihonglou to inquire about this tomorrow?"
Rong Que collected his thoughts and waved his hand, "No need."
Minglu said, "The Second Prince and the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion are following us today. Who knows what will be spread outside at dawn tomorrow."
Rong Que raised his eyes to look at Ming Lu, "Do you think she looks like General Su?"
These words came so suddenly that Ming Lu didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a while before blurting out: "No, not at all..."
After he finished speaking, he paused and looked at Rong Que, "Your Highness, do you miss General Su?"
Rong Que pinched the root of his nose with two fingers and said nothing.
Minglu knew what his prince was thinking and sighed imperceptibly.
"Your Highness is missing him too much. The Crown Princess and General Su just have the same name. Although the Crown Princess is currently investigating General Su's case, they are two completely different people."
Rong Que raised his hand weakly and said, "Go ahead."
…
The next morning, as soon as Su Qingqing opened her eyes, she saw Jixiang's big face standing in front of her.
Su Qingqing was so shocked that she lost all her sleepiness and subconsciously shrank back, "What are you doing!"
Jixiang immediately stood up with his hands on his hips, "Master, you are finally awake. I have been sitting here for half an hour!"
Su Qingqing...
Her anger throughout the night was instantly dispelled by Jixiang's shouting.
"so?"
"Master, you don't know how bullying the people in this mansion are. There was no one from our kitchen cooking this morning!
There are two masters in this mansion, one is the Crown Prince and the other is you!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to court early and left home without having breakfast. The kitchen started cooking early in the morning, but our food was not included in their cooking?
This is not going too far!"
Su Qingqing looked at Jixiang's angry face and asked, "So you sat silently at the head of my bed for half an hour just for this?"
Jixiang stared at her master with wide eyes, "What do you mean just for this matter? Isn't this a big deal?"
Su Qingqing sat up and said, "It's great, but it's no use getting angry at me. You can't even vent your anger."
Jixiangqixixi handed Su Qingqing's clothes to her and helped her put them on.
"Fortunately, the master had the foresight to let our people cook in the small kitchen. Otherwise, we would have to depend on the faces of the servants in this mansion to eat!"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? If you're unhappy, just smash their kitchen and see who will starve to death. You used to be so arrogant in Zhao Country, but why are you so cowardly here? You don't look like a bully at home!"
Su Qingqing couldn't help teasing Jixiang.
Jixiang was stimulated by her and immediately became excited.
"Who said I was a coward? I was just thinking that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and I was afraid of causing trouble for the master."
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes at her. "What do you mean by people under the eaves? I am the mistress of this house! I told you early in the morning that I didn't bring you here to let you suffer! I let..."
Before Su Qingqing could finish her words, Jixiang left in a flash!
He looked so aggressive, like Popeye who was about to have a fight.
Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing and straightened her clothes and walked out. Just then, Mother Xu came in with a stack of account books. "What is Jixiang doing so angrily?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "He became a bandit."
Mother Xu let out a bewildered sigh, then quickly returned to the topic, "These are the account books that the stewards of the mansion sent to me last evening. I went through them one by one last night, and there are problems with these account books."
Su Qingqing walked into the bathroom without even looking at it, "It's normal if there is a problem. It would be strange if there is no problem."
Madam Xu placed the account book on the table and stood at the door of the bathroom holding a dry towel, ready to serve Su Qingqing. "What are your plans, Madam?"
Su Qingqing washed her face, took the handkerchief handed to her by Aunt Xu, and wiped it slowly. "Pick a book at random and send it to the bookstore. Ask him to hire a hundred scholars to copy five hundred copies for me."
Aunt Xu was dumbfounded and looked puzzled.
Su Qingqing explained slowly, "After copying, distribute the account books to teahouses and taverns all over Kyoto. Also, hire three storytellers to comment on the account books at different teahouses at different times. By then, I'm sure the business will be booming!"
After a pause, Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I have already thought of a name. It is called "Top Secret Shocking News of the Prince's Family 1"
Aunt Xu was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing.
How damaging!
"Once this account book gets out, I'm afraid everyone in the world will know that a certain steward in the Crown Prince's mansion has committed treason and deceived his master. Then we won't have to do anything."
Su Qingqing laughed, "If I have to deal with such a person myself, I am too busy."
