Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 275 Account Book? Learning Butler

"Okay, then let me test you first. Take a look at this account book and see if you can understand it." Chen Shuhua handed the account book in her hand to her.

Yao Qingnian took it and started reading it.

"There's no problem with the rest, but what is this amount for? It shows that this amount of money was spent by Dad, but it doesn't specify what it was used for." Yao Qingnian said, pointing to the account of one hundred taels of silver.

"Nianran is really thoughtful. I feel relieved if you say that. This is the money your father uses every month to manage official affairs." Chen Shuhua looked at her with tenderness in her eyes.

"It has to be taken care of every month, but what about his salary?" It is impossible that it has to be taken care of every month... Yao Qingnian speculated that there must be something fishy.

"What good is your father's salary for? If we relied on his salary, we would have starved to death long ago!"

Chen Shuhua asked her to come over at noon every day to have breakfast together, and then taught her how to manage the household. Yao Qingnian nodded and agreed.

Shen Youran was so angry when she heard the news that she smashed things in the room again. Since the eldest lady came back, she didn't know how many times the second lady had smashed things, and every time she would vent her anger on the maids and servants. For example, a few days ago, she was in a bad mood for some reason and directly poured scalding hot tea on Xiaoxue. The next day, Xiaoxue disappeared...

They didn't dare to ask and spoke in a low voice. They were worried every day, afraid that they would accidentally upset the young lady and end up like Xiaoxue, who disappeared without a trace.

The servants in the courtyard were very envious of the people in the eldest lady's courtyard. They heard that she was very kind to the servants, never beat or scolded them, and often gathered together to talk and laugh, getting along well with them. It would be great if they could also meet such a lady...

After Yao Qingnian came back, she went straight into the space and started testing Chen Shuhua's blood. When she was taking Chen Shuhua's pulse just now, she found a slight abnormality, but she was not sure, so she took blood and brought it back for testing before she could make a conclusion.

When she came out of the space, her face was full of complicated expressions. Someone had actually started to attack Chen Shuhua. The first people she suspected were Yingcao and Shen Wenting.

"Shan Wei, go to my mother's yard these two days and monitor Yingcao and every move in the yard. Report to me immediately if there is any abnormal situation." Yao Qingnian ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, Miss!" Although Shan Wei didn't know why Yao Qingnian suddenly asked her to monitor the place, she didn't ask any more questions and followed the order. Although she was a spy, she was also a secret guard, so this was easy for her.

That's right, Chen Shuhua was poisoned, a very difficult to detect poison, ordinary doctors simply can't diagnose it, as time goes by, the poison penetrates a little bit, people will wither like flowers, fortunately it was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She remained calm and prepared the antidote to send to Chen Shuhua.

For several days, the mansion was peaceful. Yao Qingnian went to Chen Shuhua's courtyard every day to learn how to manage the household. In his free time, he would either go out for a walk or go to the old lady's courtyard to give her acupuncture. His life was quite comfortable.

"Madam, please don't wait. I just sent someone to ask. The master is busy with official duties and is resting in the study!"

"Okay, I get it. I'll just finish embroidering this bit."

Yao Qingnian just walked to the door when she heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Mom, what are you embroidering? I told you to rest more, why didn't you listen?" She pushed open the curtain and walked in.

When Chen Shuhua saw her come in, she put down the work in her hands and said with a smile: "Summer is coming soon, I will make some thin clothes for your father."

"Just let the little girls under you do these things. There's no need for you to do them yourself. If you get too tired, your daughter will be sad."

"Haha, silly child, how can they be the same? You will understand after you get married. There is a difference between what you make yourself and what others make."

Yao Qingnian secretly complained in his heart: "That depends on the person. Someone as sanctimonious as Shen Wenting is not worth it at all. Chen Shuhua must recognize her true face as soon as possible."

But seeing Chen Shuhua's happy face, she couldn't bear to reveal Shen Wenting's true face. But looking at Yingcao standing not far away, she knew that such a big danger was here, so she had to solve it first. It's better to let her know the truth as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Shan Wei reported back: "Miss, I have already found out the meeting time between Yingcao and Minister Shen. If nothing unexpected happens, they will meet in the warehouse tonight."

"Apart from this, is there anything else unusual in my mother's room?" She had already given Chen Shuhua the antidote, but within two days, signs of poisoning were found again, indicating that the source of the poison must be around her mother. However, Yao Qingnian had been eating and drinking with her for the past two days and did not find anything special in her diet. There was only one possibility left, which was the items that she came into contact with every day. What exactly could it be? Yao Qingnian planned to go over and take a look tomorrow morning.

"No, miss!" Shan Wei replied.

"Well, let's make some arrangements tonight and catch the adulterer." Yao Qingnian asked Shan Wei to make some arrangements and take Chen Shuhua to see it in the evening, so that she can see with her own eyes what kind of man she thinks about every day. Although this is a bit cruel, it is better than her being in love and focusing all her attention on Shen Wenting!

At night, as the night deepened, Yingcao quietly slipped out of the yard. She walked cautiously to the remote warehouse in the backyard, and Shen Wenting was already waiting there.

After seeing people go in, Yao Qingnian added something to the candlelight inside through the window, and the two people inside unconsciously felt a little hot and uneasy.

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out in the night sky: "Help! There's a thief!" Everyone in the Shangshu Mansion heard the cry, and the lights in each courtyard were lit up. The servants on night patrol rushed to the place where the sound came from, which was a remote warehouse in the backyard.

When everyone arrived, they entered the warehouse together, but they did not see any thieves. They only heard a woman's screams and a man's gasps coming from the house, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent night.

When the servants heard this voice, they all blushed.

At this time, the old lady, Chen Shuhua and others who heard the noise all rushed over.

"What's going on in the middle of the night? I heard that a thief came in. Where is the person? Was he caught?" Chen Shuhua asked anxiously. Such a thing had never happened in her family in all these years.

"Madam, we didn't catch the thief, but..." The leading servant found it difficult to speak.

At this moment, an indescribable sound was heard in the room again, and everyone heard it clearly.

The old lady was furious: "Who dares to do such a dirty thing in the middle of the night in the mansion! You, break the door open!"
