Chapter 278: The Head of the Family [10]

"However," Huang Beiyue changed her words and said lightly, "Steward Zhou has been in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for many years, and he has worked hard, although he is confused and makes mistakes for a while, he is not guilty of death, and he does not need to be sent to Tingwei Temple." "

Steward Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Yuanyuan also let out a long breath, secretly rejoicing.

Only Aunt Xue frowned slightly, how could this girl give up so easily? If you don't want to do a good job if you seize the opportunity, why bother so much work before?

Just thinking about it, I listened to Huang Beiyue say slowly: "There are so many things found in Steward Zhou's room today, there must be a lot of them before, and after I check the account book and compare them with the treasury collections one by one, the missing things, Steward Zhou will return them all to compensate." "

Steward Zhou raised his head suddenly: "County Lord, there are so many things....... "

"Whether it's hidden or sold, since Steward Zhou has the courage to steal things, he must have made a lot of money over the years, so find a way to make it back! Huang Beiyue glanced at him and said coldly.

Steward Zhou was dumbfounded.

For so many years, all the things that are missing in the treasury of the eldest princess's mansion have to be compensated by him? Wouldn't he have become a wronged man?

He is just doing things for people, and although he has received a lot of rewards over the years, how can he be enough for one hundred thousandth of these treasures?

This compensation, even if the master or Aunt Qin comes, may not be able to compensate.

Over the years, how many things they have sold and sent away from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, I'm afraid they can't count it themselves, right?

Steward Zhou already felt that this matter was a big problem, and it was not something that his little housekeeper could bear at all.

Looking up at Xiao Yuanyuan, I saw that his face was full of cruelty, and he glanced at Peiyu beside Aunt Xue gloomily.

Steward Zhou felt a chill in his heart, that Peiyu was his only daughter, and she was a maid who served tea and water by Aunt Qin's side, and Aunt Qin said that she would treat Peiyu as her own daughter, and if she married in the future, she would marry according to the etiquette of Miss Boudoir.

His wife left early, and he was infertile, so he was counting on this only daughter to give him a pension in the future, and what does Xiao Yuan mean now? Want to threaten him with Peiyu?

As long as he bears all the responsibility now, the matter of compensation in the future will naturally take his time, and Xiao Yuanyuan will have to find a way for him......

Huang Beiyue is such a shrewd person, no one can play with psychology and tactics, a little glance at Steward Zhou's expression and Xiao Yuanyuan, she knows what these two people are thinking.

The corners of his mouth quietly raised a slight and cold arc, looked at Dongling, and glanced at Peiyu beside Aunt Qin.

Dongling, a smart girl, understood at once, and said with a smile: "Sister Peiyu, I usually look at you differently from other maids, you don't have to be serious at all, it turns out that Steward Zhou has so many partial doors, no wonder people outside say that our eldest princess's mansion, Miss Peiyu is the real lady!" ”

Peiyu's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Auntie, county lord, there are no slaves!" The slave maid goes out with the aunt every time, the aunt is beautiful, how can the slave and the maid compare? ”

"Oh?" Dongling smiled again, "Sister Peiyu said that Aunt Qin is beautiful? How big is it? ”

Aunt Qin kicked Peiyu over, and shut up if she couldn't speak! It's a fool to say it and make people grab the handle!
