It's okay for brothers to fight for family wealth, but to the extent that they risk life and death for profit, other families don't know about it. Father Gao thinks it's impossible for these three sons.

Gao Mingfang and Gao Mingyu looked at each other and said, "Sister-in-law must have evidence for what she says. How can we take action against eldest brother?"

Just at this moment, the housekeeper came in and announced, "Sir, everyone in charge has arrived."

Hearing this, the expressions of the father and son changed slightly. Chu Yunli had already turned around and went out first, "I'll go see you!"

Behind them, the two brothers were worried, "Dad, is she really allowed to cause trouble?"

Father Gao frowned, "If she doesn't let go, the Luo family will ignore you. If you really piss her off, the good situation of the Gao family will be gone."

Hearing this, the two brothers looked unwilling.

When Chu Yunli arrived at the study room in the front yard, there were more than ten people sitting in the room. When they saw her coming in, they were all surprised, but they quickly stood up and saluted.

Chu Yunli walked to the main seat and sat down, "You don't have to be polite. Send me the latest account book and tell me about the situation in the shop."

Upon hearing this, all the stewards immediately understood that she would be the one to make the decision from now on.

For a moment, there were different expressions on his face.

Some are worried, some are confused, and some look normal.

Chu Yunli knew that the two brothers had not been idle these days during the funeral, and had contacted these stewards in private. Luo Zhiniang's life was really difficult at the beginning, but it got better later.

The stewards looked at each other, and finally handed over the account books. When a steward with a mustache on his face handed over the account books, he said with a half-smile, "Can you understand, madam?"

"Those of us have been following our master for many years and have seen how he worked hard to earn this family business. If my wife doesn't understand accounting books, it would be better to replace her earlier. There are old and young in our families, but we all point to the Gao family.

We are living in the shop, so we don’t dare to follow the madam into mischief.”

As soon as this was said, several people echoed it.

Chu Yunli picked up the account book he handed over, flipped through it quickly, and said, "I don't know anything else, but there is something wrong with your account."

The mustache manager’s surname was Wu. He was the first person to follow Gao Mingzhe. He sneered and said, “Madam, if you want to scare the monkeys, you are looking for the wrong person. There will definitely be no problem with my account!”

Chu Yunli asked in a deep voice, "Your shop is in the tea business. It purchases eighty taels every month and sells one hundred taels. Can you tell me that this account book is correct?"

Manager Wu looked surprised and asked, "Isn't it right to make a net profit of twenty taels a month?" He sighed again, "I just said that my wife doesn't know how to do business. My shop in that area can earn twenty taels a month."

It’s already done well.”

Chu Yunli sneered, "I think you think I don't know how to do it, and you want to trick me here. That's all in the past, twenty taels per month is indeed a lot, but last month and the month before last were when spring tea was on the market

, you only earned twenty taels..." She slapped the table and said coldly, "Where do you have the courage to say that this account book is correct?"

She was angry, her eyebrows were cold, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant, "If this account book is true, it proves that you are incompetent!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Manager Wu's spine. He looked around and said, "I have something I want to talk to Madam in private."

Chu Yunli flipped through the rest of the account books and said smoothly, "I am observing my filial piety now and it is not appropriate to meet alone. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can't explain clearly, I will have to thoroughly investigate your accounts over the years."

She slowly turned over the account book in her hand, and the steward who received the account book from her couldn't help but become nervous.

Check the accounts thoroughly?

The stewards who knew the inside story lowered their heads.

Steward Wu gritted his teeth and said, "I was the first to follow the master and made great contributions. Over the years, the master has never taken care of the accounts of my shop. The accounts are done like this because the master has tacitly approved it."

The unspoken meaning is that everything he cheated on was a bonus given to him by Gao Mingzhe.

Chu Yunli patted the account book and said, "When you are the manager of the Gao family, we will pay you labor wages and you will get bonuses during the New Year. You should get your share if you do well. Is there any reason to take the bonuses yourself? I don't believe he will acquiesce.

It’s obviously you who deceived the master!”

She pointed casually and said, "Come and help me check the accounts of his shop, starting from the earliest. Any accounts that have not been reconciled over the years must be made up!" The steward she pointed to bowed his head.

She looked at Manager Wu again, "You stay in the mansion temporarily. When the accounts are checked and the money is replenished, I will send you to the government!"

Manager Wu's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

A nurse came in outside the door and dragged him away immediately.

These people were previously employed by Gao Mingzhe, and she was quite comfortable using them.

It can also be seen from this that before Gao Mingzhe left, he had no idea that he would never come back.

Chu Yunli caught another dishonest manager and shut him down, and the rest became completely honest.

After working as a steward for so many years, it is impossible to say that Yangchun Baixue has nothing to do. Even if the accounts in the shop are correct, there are still a lot of benefits from outsiders.

There must be something wrong with the two people who were caught. They would probably lose everything to make up the accounts. That's fine. They would have to be sent to the government for investigation. With their greedy money, can they come out and make a fuss?

Looking at the stewards in front of him who were as obedient as quails, Chu Yunli was satisfied and asked, "Have the Second Master and the Third Master been looking for you recently?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Chu Yunli flipped through the account book and said slowly, "I believe you all know how the Gao family came to be. If you let me know that you are dealing with the two of them in private, even if you are not greedy for money, I can still change the manager.

"

Everyone immediately gathered their thoughts and bowed and saluted, "Madam, don't worry, we are the master's people. The master is gone. From now on, we will listen to the madam and the young master."

Chu Yunli was quite satisfied with their attitude, "If we do well, we will get an extra layer of bonuses every year in the future."

Everyone was overjoyed and expressed their loyalty again.

Loyalty cannot be expressed out loud, so Chu Yunli dismissed the person and continued to look through the ledger.

The few stewards who came out looked at each other and whispered, "Madam is so powerful, we can rely on her in the future."

Everyone agreed.

If you look for the second master and the third master again, you will get an extra layer of bonuses at most. Now that you have the benefits, why bother?

In the final analysis, the Gao family still needs to rely on the Luo family to grow bigger and bigger. And looking at Luo Zhiniang today, she is not stupid. She can see the problem with the account book at a glance, which proves that she does have some tricks.

After the steward left, the secret observer went back to report to his master, which made the two Mingfang brothers gnashed their teeth. Chu Yunli returned to the room with a stack of account books, found Gao Youan who had woken up, and taught him how to read the account books.

Gao Youan's face was pale and he seemed serious, but he was actually in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yunli asked casually.

Gao Youan put down the account book and said, "Mom, if dad hadn't rushed back to celebrate my birthday, nothing would have happened. My grandfather, grandmother, and uncle all said that I killed dad."

"It's none of your business." Chu Yunli put down the account book and said seriously, "Your father is an adult. He has to be careful when sitting, lying and walking. What happened to him is because he was not careful and has nothing to do with you. Even if he doesn't wish you a birthday

, he still has to come back, so the horse should go crazy or go crazy."

Her tone was meaningful, "Now that your father is gone, your second uncle and third uncle may not be sincerely doing it for your own good. You have to learn to distinguish it yourself."

Gao Youan was silent for a moment, "My grandfather just said that I should listen to my second and third uncles more in the future."

"In this family, you just need to listen to me." Looking at the little head in front of him, Chu Yunli reached out and touched it, "As for your grandparents, they have so many grandchildren, you just listen to their words, no need to

too serious."

Gao Youan seemed to understand but not quite.

In the past, I always thought that since Gao Mingzhe was young, there was no need to teach his children early on. I wanted to wait until he was 14 or 15 years old. Therefore, neither Luo Zhiniang nor Gao Mingzhe had ever taught their children seriously about discerning people's hearts.

Gao Mingfang found out that the manager he had talked so well with before suddenly stopped paying attention to them. In the past, Gao Mingzhe couldn't intervene with them, but now that he was gone, they still couldn't intervene. They were very angry.

Gao Yousi is still young and has been very tired recently. She took three days of rest before she recovered. She is doing okay. The little girl is forgetful and not as thoughtful as her brother. She is just more clingy to her mother.

On this day, Chu Yunli got up early and took a carriage to pray outside the city.

Praying for blessings was an excuse, she actually wanted to see Gao Mingzhe now.

In her opinion, there were many doubts about Gao Mingzhe's fall off the cliff. How could such a coincidence happen?

There is Baihua Town twenty miles outside the city. There are several villages in the town, and a little further away there are even mountain people.

Mountain people are hunters who have no land to rely on, and farmers who collect herbs. In his previous life, Gao Mingzhe was rescued by a girl who collected herbs, and stayed at her home to recuperate. After that, the two fell in love secretly, got married and had children.

According to Chu Yunli, after Gao Mingzhe fell off the cliff, the Gao family made a fuss about finding someone. People around him should have heard more or less that when Gao Mingzhe came back in his previous life, the woman only said that she was busy collecting medicine to save people.

, I didn’t go to town at all, so I didn’t know who the Gao family was looking for.

She already had children by then, so what if she was more suspicious?

It is true that she saved people, it is true that the two have been dependent on each other for several years, and it is true that the child is true. Even if it is her selfish intention to keep Gao Mingzhe, it is nothing in front of these.

Chu Yunli left early. The carriage was just an ordinary green-covered carriage, which was not eye-catching. After arriving in the town, he did not stay long and went straight to the new village closest to where the woman lived.

The maid next to me was quite puzzled, "Madam, what are you doing here?"

Chu Yunli replied smoothly, "Just wandering around to relax."

She was just thinking about going up the mountain, and this girl next to her might hold her back, when she saw a pair of beautiful women coming out of the new village.

The carriage came through the town and met several people, but these two were particularly different.

Most people here make a living by farming and get a lot of sun. The skin of both men and women has a healthy copper color, and it is rare to see people with fair and delicate skin.

As for the two people coming out of the village, you can see from a distance that their faces are dazzlingly white. The woman is dressed in red and the man is raising his hands to protect her. You can tell at a glance that they are newlyweds.

The carriage stopped at some point. The driver was a little dazed. The maid's eyes widened and she was also stunned.

Chu Yunli opened the curtain, watched the two people getting closer, and ordered, "The expressions on your faces are different, we are just similar."

There was a carriage parked here, and the two people looked over curiously. The man was fine, but the woman's expression changed slightly.
