Chapter 33 - The Routine

Seeing Bai Li's darkening expression, the stewards' calm expressions gradually collapsed.

'Dead! Dead! 'Could Eldest Miss have seen anything?

Did he really see through it? That shouldn't be the case. As for him, not to mention a young girl, even an experienced manager wouldn't be able to tell.

He was just pretending. He didn't believe that a fool like her could understand all this.

The stewards all had their own thoughts. Some were guilty, some were doubtful, some were disdainful, but deep in their eyes, there was nervousness and fear.

"Pa …"

Bai Li suddenly slammed the account book in her hand onto the table, staring angrily at the managers, "What are all these? It looks like you guys still do not know the rules of the mansion, why, do you all want to go to the back of the mountain to accompany Shu Xiu? "

A cold voice filled with killing intent came out, causing everyone to tremble when they thought of Shu Xiu's death, and they all knelt down.

"Servant deserves to die, please forgive me, Eldest Miss."

Bai Li scoffed and with a wave of her sleeve, she immediately threw the account books of her subordinates onto the face of a manager.

"In three days' time, calculate all these accounts for me. If you still can't calculate them clearly, you'll have to make up for all the losses in the manor by yourself."

"Yes, yes …"

With trembling hands, he picked up the account book on the ground.

"All of you are the same. If you don't learn my The House of the Marquis of Loyalty's rules, then just wait to be Shu Xiu's companions."

More than a dozen account books flew onto the stewards' faces along with the chilling words.

"Yes, yes …"

The stewards immediately nodded like chicks pecking rice grains, and scrambled out of wutong garden with their account books.

"Miss, you're too amazing. You can actually understand so many accounts in such a short period of time."

Yun Zhi rested her cheeks on her hands and looked at Bai Li with admiration, her beautiful big eyes were filled with red hearts.

"I don't understand." Bai Li raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"Huh?" Yun Zhi opened her mouth wide in shock, "Then you just …"

Qi Wen also widened her eyes in shock.

Bai Li said with an evil grin, it was all part of the plan.

Although it was useful to make an example of others, it couldn't stop them from gaining benefits. It was a pity that the benefits offered to them by the Zhao Family wasn't heavy enough to make them lose their lives.

"Then should we find another accountant?" Qi Wen frowned in worry.

Bai Li laughed coldly, "No need, they wouldn't want to be Shu Xiu's companion."

The two of them nodded, their admiration for Bai Li increased even further.

"You go out first." Bai Li suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Yun Zhi.

"Yes."

Yun Zhi was surprised for a moment, then obediently left the room and closed the door for the two.

Bai Li looked at Qi Wen with a smile that was not a smile, "Speak, who are you to?"

A light flashed in Qi Wen's eyes, and she instantly knelt down.

"This servant was left behind by Madame to protect young miss."

Bai Li frowned, she looked straight into Qi Wen's eyes, it was still as clear as ever, there were no signs of him lying.

Could it really have been left behind by his mother?

However …

"Looking at your age, when mother left, you should still be a child, right?"

Bai Li looked at Qi Wen with a puzzled expression.

Why did mother give her to a child? Was it to deceive people?

Qi Wen raised her eyes and looked at Bai Li seriously, "When Madame left, this servant was already ten years old, and cannot be considered a child anymore."

Looking at the serious face of Qi Wen, the corner of Bai Li's lips unconsciously twitched.

In order to not hurt Qi Wen's self-esteem, Bai Li changed the topic, "Where did my mother go in the end?"

Qi Wen was startled, she did not reply immediately.

Bai Li did not rush him, instead she raised her teacup and sipped on her tea.

After a long while, Qi Wen finally raised her eyes and said, "Madame has gone to look for Old Master."

"Puff …"

Hearing that, Bai Li spat out a mouthful of tea.
