Grandma Wang directly frowned and asked with some displeasure, "It turns out to be Third Miss. Third Miss, what do you want? You are not allowed to enter the warehouse at will. If you have nothing to do, go somewhere else to play."
Wu Sheyue looked at the furnishings in the warehouse casually and said, "I have some personal matters with Grandma Wang. Can you lend me a moment to talk?"
Bai Lian had her head lowered, but when she heard this she couldn't help but glance at Wu Sheyue. Did she mean that Grandma Wang owed her money
Grandma Wang snorted from her nose. Although it was weak, Wu Sheyue caught it. She closed the account book with a snap and said with a cheeky smile: "Miss Third, look at the old slave who is taking inventory of the warehouse. If the old slave walks away, is there any obsessed thief here who secretly takes away something?" For one or two things, the old slave can't even afford to take advantage of the whole family. Is there something that Third Miss can't tell you directly here?"
Wu Sheyue was not angry, but instead said with a smile on her face, "Speak directly? I think grandma is getting older. I said such embarrassing things, grandma, you can't stand it with that old face~"
"You—" Grandma Wang's curse words came to her throat. Suddenly she remembered that the third lady was smart and couldn't curse directly anymore, so she held it back. She really didn't expect that the third lady's face had changed, and her temper had also changed
"Haha~ This old slave is a human being, but I don't know what the third lady means. Anyway, the old slave really can't leave. If something is lost, is it the third lady's responsibility? If the third lady has time, why not wait for the old slave nearby? Finished taking inventory?"
Wu Sheyue looked at Grandma Wang up and down silently, and suddenly saw a golden light shining in Grandma Wang's arms. Her eyes were sharp and clear, and Grandma Wang felt like she had been exposed, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
Wu Sheyue suddenly changed her attitude and nodded very eloquently, "Okay, I don't have anything else. I have the most time. How long will Grandma Wang want to wait?"
Grandma Wang glanced at the few boys working and said, "We have just opened the warehouse, and we are about to sell it. It will take two or three hours anyway."
Ning'er glared at Grandma Wang fiercely. Anyone who didn't understand her could see that so many things outside the warehouse had been neatly packed away. It was obvious that they had been done. How could it be said that they had just been done? start! I used to be fine with bullying, but now I'm addicted to bullying!
Wu Sheyue asked meaningfully, "Are you sure it will take so long?"
There was disdain that could not be hidden on Grandma Wang's face, "The food and clothing expenses of each courtyard must be carefully written down, and the remaining inventory must be calculated. Now you have told the third lady about the house's big account." I don’t understand~”
Before Wu Sheyue could speak, Bai Lian, who was silent at the side, suddenly said loudly, "Why, sooner or later our lady will be the wife of the principal wife, and will be in charge of the entire back house in the future. I just don't understand it now."
The little servants and maids watching over there all covered their mouths and snickered. The most disliked concubine in the prime minister's house is now rumored to be the first wife of a wealthy family. It would be really difficult if the situation were a little better. Know who you are.
Even the cold Grandma Wang couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, the third lady will definitely take charge in the future." It's not hard to hear the irony in those words.
Ning'er glared at Bai Lian fiercely. Her nonsense was clearly making people laugh at Miss Third. However, after Bai Lian finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and stood aside. She was very contemptuous of Ning'er at this time. To be honest, Wu Sheyue is a fool and an ugly person, and he rushes to fawn over her just after she recovers. This is really short-sighted. She just took a small revenge. Whoever let Wu Sheyue die without saving him deserved it~
Wu Sheyue glanced at Bai Lian casually, "I'd like to thank Grandma Wang for her good advice. Since I don't understand, I won't ask. Bai Lian, go and get me a chair. I'll watch Grandma Wang Panku from here."
"Ah? It's..." Bai Lian was suddenly ordered and felt very reluctant, limping away with very exaggerated movements. She took two steps and looked back, but Wu Sheyue had already turned away! It's really, really too much. Ming Ning'er is standing aside with her hands and feet.
Seeing this, Grandma Wang ignored Wu Sheyue and said seriously to the servants and maids, "Miss Third is here to watch. You all work hard."
All the servants and maids responded in a loud voice.
—
Bai Lian walked for a long time but no chair was brought over. Wu Sheyue stood for a while and then started walking back and forth in the empty space.
Grandma Wang looked at Leng Yan and said mockingly, "Miss Third, it's better to stay away from these things. It would be bad if these slaves miscounted and relied on Third Miss for missing something."
"That's a coincidence. Are you so sure that everything I touch will be less?" Wu Sheyue shrugged indifferently. She saw an open box at her feet, with goose egg-sized goose eggs in it. There were two balls, one black and one white. She bent down and picked up the white one.
The sphere was milky white and transparent, and felt very smooth in the hand. She tossed it up and down, and it felt really good.
The boy beside him swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. He had never dared to do this in his years of work. If it fell to the ground, he would die ten or eight times and it would not be enough to compensate.
Ning'er was also worried. She wanted to remind Wu Sheyue to be careful, but she pursed her lips and dared not speak, as if gasping could scare the ball away.
When Grandma Wang saw her playing with the jade ball, she said coldly with a sullen face: "This is the cue ball in the Tai Chi ball, but the eldest lady asked for it with a thousand dollars."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sheyue clicked her tongue and put the ball in front of her eyes and took a look. Oh, it is really an ancient white jade.
At this time, Bai Lian finally came back carrying a chair. She saw Wu Sheyue looking at some jewelry from a distance. Her heart moved and she suddenly called out "Miss!"
snap—
As soon as Bai Lian finished speaking, the round sphere rolled past Wu Sheyue's green-white fingertips, and then fell gracefully to the ground.
At this moment, everyone around them took a breath and looked at the broken pile on the ground with wide eyes and shock... There was silence everywhere. Finally, Wu Sheyue broke the long silence.
"It's broken~" she clapped her hands and said with great regret, "It's such a good Tai Chi ball, what a pity~ Oh, what should I do? Grandma Wang is here to take inventory. Who will be responsible if something breaks?"
Grandma Wang said with a smile on her face, "Miss Third, if this was another worthless object, I might be able to plead with my wife and say that it was an accident. But this Tai Chi ball is too expensive. I'm afraid that this old slave will be implicated by you no matter what. Now I can only tell the truth and ask Madam to handle it."
After hearing these words, Bai Lian's shocked expression slowly disappeared, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. This was considered to be the right thing to do invisibly. (To be continued)
