Chapter 124 Homecoming
When Bo Yun heard the guard's address, she quickly corrected him. She didn't want the people from Lin'an Marquis' Mansion to have anything to do with her young lady anymore.
"Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue. I understand." The guard also knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly admitted his mistake.
"It doesn't matter. What does she want to see me about?"
"Miss, she just said she wanted to see you, but she didn't say what it was, and she didn't send a note before. The master had previously ordered that anyone from the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion was not allowed to come in, so I didn't let her in.
She waited at the door for a while and then left. ”
"Okay, I understand." An Qingqian nodded.
Back in the room, An Qingqian was washing her hands with clean water, and Bo Yun was serving her.
"Miss, what do you think Zhang Qingsha wants to do by coming to see you all of a sudden? Does she think that she has a really good relationship with us?"
"I don't know, but she must have some purpose for coming to the General's Mansion suddenly. Ignore her."
An Qingqian chuckled and guessed in her heart that Zhang Qingsha must have felt uneasy knowing that she and Xue Wanxian had divorced. She was worried that without her as their relationship, the number of people attending her coming-of-age ceremony would definitely decrease significantly.
That's why she wanted to get closer to me so that she could add more face to her coming-of-age ceremony.
This is a clever idea.
If Zhang Qingsha comes over and I am soft-hearted and let her in, then by tomorrow everyone will know that Zhang Qingsha has a good relationship with me and the General's Mansion. Then, for the sake of the General's Mansion, everyone will go to her coming-of-age ceremony.
If I don't let her in, she will say that I am indifferent and cold, and that after only a few days of divorce, she no longer looks down on the people in Lin'an Marquis Mansion. Either way, she will not suffer any loss.
Zhang Qingsha is still young and her mind may not be so mature. The one who could come up with this plan must be Zhang Qingsha's mother Huang.
An Qingqian narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although the divorce happened suddenly and An Qingqian was not prepared, even if she left the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, all the tragedies had not happened in this life.
However, she would collect all the debts owed to her by the Lin'an Marquisate.
"When is Zhang Qingsha's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Miss, it will be on the tenth day of next month." Yingyi brought An Qingqian a cup of hot tea.
"The tenth?"
"Exactly. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are still eleven days left."
"Is there any news from Lin'an Marquis Mansion recently?"
Although An Qingqian has returned to the General's Mansion, the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion still has its own spies and is well aware of the news over there, but Yingyi is in charge of it all.
“Yes, after the young lady returned to the general’s mansion, Zhang and Chen were very anxious because the account books and the keys to the treasury in the name of the Lin’an Marquis’s mansion were still in Xiheyuan.
Zhang was worried that the young lady had embezzled the money, so she wanted to come to the general's mansion to find her, but was stopped by Xue Wanxian.
When Liu Yiyi learned about this, she was also concerned about the power of the Lin'an Marquis's household, and was also trying to get Xue Wanxian to hand over the power of the housekeeper to her. "
"What was Xue Wanxian's reaction?" An Qingqian was more curious about Xue Wanxian's reaction.
Prince Yong wanted Xue Wanxian to have a good relationship with him, hoping to use his hand to win over the General's Mansion.
However, their sudden divorce caused Yong Wang's plan to fail, and Yong Wang would definitely not let Xue Wanxian go easily.
"Xue Wanxian is very strange. He doesn't care about this at all and teases his child all day long." Yingyi said. She herself felt that Xue Wanxian's reaction was too abnormal.
"Miss, do you think Xue Wanxian was so frustrated and disheartened by this incident that he behaved out of character?" Yingyi guessed carefully.
"I don't know, but his reaction is indeed strange." An Qingqian felt confused as he listened.
"Yingyi, take your people to the Lin'an Marquis' Mansion and hand over all the account books of the mansion to Xue Wanxian one by one. Check them in person to avoid any problems. Also, hand over the key to the treasury to him in person.
Also, take him and the housekeeper to check the items in the treasury one by one to see if they match the records in the account. Remember, don't be bothered, and make sure to check with him in person to avoid any clues in the future."
"Yes, Miss, I understand." Yingyi nodded solemnly.
"This matter must be completed quickly. I don't want any trouble to happen during the New Year. Let's see who will get the power to run the family, Zhang or Liu Yiyi."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
"Miss, if we leave the Marquis' Mansion like this, will Manager Zhang betray us?" Bo Yun asked curiously.
"No, he will only be more loyal." An Qingqian smiled when he heard that.
"Why?" Bo Yun was puzzled.
"From the very beginning, Manager Zhang chose to join us because of my status. Now that I have returned to the General's Mansion, my status as the general's daughter is higher than that of a marquis' wife, so he will only be more loyal."
In this life, she knew more about Manager Zhang and knew that his biggest weakness was his son.
Before, Zhang Yizhou was obsessed with kidnapping An Qingqian, but she had someone release Zhang Yizhou.
That was why Manager Zhang surrendered. Besides, his children also had to prepare for imperial examinations, so they would certainly be happy to be on board with him.
"Boyun, there hasn't been any movement from Prince Yong recently?" An Qingqian paused and thought of Prince Yong again.
Would he really be so willing to let everything he had done before go to waste?
No, he is not that kind of person, he will definitely find a way.
"No, miss, Prince Yong hasn't made any moves recently." Bo Yun shook his head.
"Are the people you sent reliable?" An Qingqian frowned and turned to look at Boyun.
"Miss, rest assured. This man was found by me two months ago. His martial arts skills are not very high, but his Qinggong skills are very powerful. Even I am much inferior to him. He is also very thoughtful. Therefore, he will not be discovered if he keeps an eye on Prince Yong's Mansion."
"Have you checked his background? Could it be that someone else deliberately arranged him to be near us?" An Qingqian couldn't help but become suspicious when she heard that this person's Qinggong was so amazing.
"Don't worry, Miss. How could I be so careless?" Bo Yun giggled.
"Miss, this man is a beggar from another place. He has a sick sister who looks exactly like him. It is certain that she is his biological sister. I hired a doctor to treat her illness. In order to repay me, this man agreed to work for us.
I have asked someone to verify the information he found, and it is exactly the same as what we got, even more detailed, so I feel relieved. By the way, miss, this man's surname is Su, Su Gui, and his sister is Su Yu.
