Chapter 163

Linshui Pavilion.

There was a pile of account books piled up on Xiao Lintian's desk, and he frowned as he looked at them.

Zhao Xuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, although this is the account book of Prince Yi's palace, my subordinates dare not ask anyone to check the accounts! But I can't find a suitable person for a while! So..."

Xiao Lintian rubbed his eyebrows, of course he understood Zhao Xuan's concerns.

When Butler Fan died, the stall left behind made Xiao Lintian even more aware that he had not cared about the management of the inner house before, which was a very dangerous thing!

He had always trusted Butler Fan, but he never expected that Butler Fan would use his trust to steal so much money.

A total of one hundred thousand taels of silver!

When Zhao Xuan and the others found it and handed it over to Xiao Lintian, Xiao Lintian couldn't believe it.

This money does not include jewelry, antiques, and the emperor's gifts during the holidays.

Butler Fan also bought a courtyard house outside Madam Fan's back. Zhao Xuan and the others found the deed of the house during the search and went there to find the jewelry and antiques in the courtyard house.

Anger and pain were no longer enough to express Xiao Lintian's emotions. He spent the whole night meditating and reflecting on himself.

If such negligence were used on the battlefield, Xiao Lintian would be completely defeated!

Looking at the pile of account books at this time, Xiao Lintian was already very calm.

"The account needs to be checked!"

Xiao Lintian said firmly: "Steward Fan is dead, it doesn't matter if he takes it a little longer! It's better to be in a hurry than to waste it! Let Yinhu look for a new housekeeper and Mr. Accountant!"

"Inner courtyard..." Xiao Lintian muttered.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan said: "My subordinates feel that Qiu Wenshuang is really not suitable to run the inner courtyard anymore!"

"The maids in Heizi's courtyard got into trouble one after another. Ling Ping dared to poison the princess, and Linglan and Heizi both dared to frame the princess. These incidents are enough to show that her abilities are limited!"

"and......"

Zhao Xuan was about to speak but stopped.

Xiao Lintian looked at him and said displeasedly: "You don't have to hide your words in front of me!"

Zhao Xuan then said: "I feel that... Qiu Wenshuang may not be as innocent as he appears!"

"She showed herself in front of the prince again and again, and she cares about him more than a slave cares for her master!"

"Furthermore, the princess is right. She never interferes with the matters in charge of the inner court, but Qiu Wenshuang always uses this matter to accuse the princess to embarrass her!"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates feel that Qiu Wenshuang may have had a hand in encouraging Heizi to leave the palace!"

Lu Nan asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhao, you can't talk nonsense about this! Didn't Qiaolian confess that it was the instigation of Butler Fan? How come it has anything to do with Qiu Wenshuang!"

Xiao Lintian looked at Zhao Xuan with admiration, glared at Lu Nan, and said.

"Lu Nan, you have to learn from Zhao Xuan, observe more, pay more attention, and analyze more!"

Lu Nan was even more confused: "My lord, you also agree with Brother Zhao. Do you think Qiu Wenshuang is suspicious? Why didn't my subordinates see it?"

Xiao Lintian said patiently: "Think carefully about what I said in public? King Pingyang wants to kill Ling Yue, just send a killer!"

"For the same reason, Butler Fan hates Ling Yu, so he can take revenge on Ling Yu by killing Ling Yue! But why is Heizi missing?"

Lu Nan scratched his head and giggled: "That's right. Heizi and Butler Fan have no enmity. Why did Butler Fan arrest Heizi together?"

"If it were me, I would just kill Ling Yue directly and let the princess feel heartbroken! It would be too troublesome to go around!"

"Think in order! Heizi disappeared, why did I go to Ling Yu first?"

Xiao Lintian asked.

"Because the princess has a criminal record, she kidnapped Heizi last time and Heizi almost died!" Lu Nan said.

"Yes, when the maid in Heizi's courtyard came to report Heizi's disappearance, she kept saying that it was the princess who abducted Heizi again!"

Xiao Lintian smiled coldly: "If I believe them, I will hate the princess even more. Even if I don't kill her, I won't let her live a good life!"

"In this way, Butler Fan has indeed achieved his goal! But with such a frame-up, there is no way to kill him directly as you said, which is more and more satisfying!"
