Chapter 81: I can’t spend it all! I can’t spend it all!

"This government palace is not safe either!"

Lu Yunsheng held the tea cup and sighed.

Fu Nanxiao didn't know when she arranged for someone to break into the Duke's mansion, probably to monitor her.

Her eyes were dark and deep: "Ah Qiao, be careful when doing things in the future, and stay away from suspicious people in the house."

"Don't worry, girl."

"The food on the table is dirty, let's prepare another one."

"I think so too."

Ah Qiao helped wash the vegetables, while Lu Yunsheng rolled up his sleeves and cooked a few side dishes himself.

The food was put on the table again, and the two of them were about to take off their chopsticks.

There was another sound of footsteps coming from the door of Shuixie Pavilion.

Ah Qiao quickly showed off a bite of meat.

Lu Yunsheng turned around and looked over. Lu Bo and Lu Qinghuan were followed by several domestic slaves and walked in.

Even after dinner, Lu Bo was surprised when he smelled this smell.

"Where did you get the meat?"

Lu Qinghuan swallowed subconsciously and looked straight at the food on the small table.

Three dishes and one soup! It looks better than the ones made in the dining room, and it’s even more fragrant!

But my mother clearly stopped all her monthly money!

"The prince sent it!" Lu Yunsheng wrote lightly: "Oh, I sent some more today. I can't spend them all, I can't spend them all!"

Lu Qinghuan:...Why doesn't she die?

Lu Bo coughed a few times to hide his greed.

"Lu Yunsheng! Do you know why you are here as a father?"

Lu Bo said with a straight face.

Lu Yunsheng was speechless: "Father came here in a hurry, so he didn't want to eat and drink!"

"Nonsense!" Lu Bo said angrily.

It was rare for him to slow down his tone. Lu Yunsheng, a rebellious girl, really doesn't know how to read people's faces!

"Sister, my father is here to ask you whether you put the golden bark leaves on your mother's bed?"

"It's me." Lu Yunsheng admitted openly.

When Lu Bo heard this, he snorted coldly: "I knew it was you! Your mother has already been punished, why do you want to make it worse! The leaves of the golden bark tree are highly poisonous and can make people miserable. I don't believe you don't know!"

"Ah, my sister actually planted two in her yard!" Lu Qinghuan exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Lu Bo followed her gaze and immediately became angry: "Did you plant this thing to harm others?"

"The golden bark tree is not easy to deal with, father! I just returned to the Duke's Mansion not long ago, and Yixin and Yueyue moved into my yard. They said that their mother gave it to me. They also said that this tree is good for the body. I

Thinking that my mother was feeling so uncomfortable, it was time to make her feel more comfortable, so I picked the leaves and sent them over, and thoughtfully spread them on the bed."

Lu Yunsheng said calmly.

Ah Qiao on the side ate happily, nodding while eating.

"How could my sister frame my mother like this? She wouldn't do such a thing." Lu Qinghuan defended: "Father, you know that my mother has always been a gentle person. She wouldn't even dare to trample ants to death. How could she give a golden bark tree to her sister?

Woolen cloth!"

If it hadn't been for Ah Qiao's incident, Lu Bo would have had no doubts about Lin, but after this incident, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Mom, why don't you go check the accounts?" Lu Yunsheng waved his hand: "All expenditures in the mansion are recorded in the accounts. If there is no such record, it will be even more problematic."

Hearing this, Lu Qinghuan's face turned pale.

"Butler!" Lu Bodang waved his hand and called the butler.

The account books have always been managed by the housekeeper, who is his confidant, and Lu Yunsheng has no ability to bribe him.

"Father, let's forget it. If mother has suffered, just treat it as an apology to Miss Ah Qiao." Lu Qinghuan grabbed Lu Bo's arm and prayed.

How could she not know about the Golden Bark Tree?

Moreover, not only the Golden Bark Tree, Lin used the public account to buy things, and the account books were written as other items.

If Lu Bo investigates further, he will definitely find it.

"How can that be okay, sister, are you willing to watch your mother suffer injustice?" Lu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows and looked over, with a smile on his lips.

"I......"

"As your mother's daughter, you have to clarify for your mother!"

Lu Yunsheng raised his lips and smiled.

The housekeeper had already entered the Waterside Pavilion and was standing beside Lu Bo with his head nodding.

Lu Qinghuan bit her lip and wanted to stop it.

"Father, let's forget it!"

"Why, is there something wrong with this account book? Isn't the housekeeper engaging in malpractice for personal gain? My sister is so kind and helps the housekeeper hide it?"

As soon as Lu Yunsheng said what he said to sow discord, the housekeeper immediately became unhappy.

"Third Miss, you can't talk nonsense! This old slave has worked hard for me in the Duke's Mansion these years, how dare you do such a shameful thing!"

"Master, I'm going to get the account books right now and show them to you."

After saying this, the housekeeper sent someone to fetch the account books.

Lu Qinghuan clenched her fingers, feeling extremely nervous and her mind in chaos.

I have to find a way to fool him.

The account books were quickly retrieved and the steward spread them out in front of Lu Bo's eyes.

Lu Qinghuan hurriedly stepped forward.

Lu Yunsheng turned to look at Ah Qiao and said, "Let's continue eating."

The two of them were having a good time here, while the first few people gathered around the account books and looked at them carefully.

"There is no expenditure from Golden Bark Tree here." Lu Bo looked through the entire account book but couldn't find it.

"Golden bark tree? The old slave has no memory." The steward said: "This is an account book from the past year. It cannot be purchased in previous years."

Lu Bo soon realized something was wrong. He frowned and continued to read.

There are several huge amounts in the account book every month, which are related to courtyard repairs, medicinal materials, and even goldfish in the pond.

"What are these?"

The butler took a look and said: "These are Madam's monthly expenses, and I didn't dare to ask any more questions. The guy in charge of recording the books only said that it was Madam's needs."

Lu Qinghuan swallowed her throat and quickly explained to Mrs. Lin: "I know all this. My mother has been in poor health recently, so she needs a lot of medicinal materials. I was afraid that my father would be worried, so I didn't tell him."

"As for the goldfish, last month, a maid accidentally killed all the goldfish in the backyard pond, so my mother bought new ones."

"There is also the renovation of this courtyard. Last month, the wall in the backyard collapsed."

"She didn't say anything to me." Lu Bo said with a sullen face.

"You have a lot of things to do all day long. Mother is afraid of causing trouble to you, so I will give you some peace of mind." Lu Qinghuan said.

"It's strange, the walls of my remote courtyard are very strong and have not collapsed! My mother's courtyard is really fragile!" Lu Yunsheng said lightly.

Ah Qiao also echoed: "I have never heard of someone actually raising goldfish to death, or the entire pond! It's really strange! Madam has caught up with all the strange things in the world, what a coincidence."

The two of them sang together, which successfully made Lu Bo suspicious.

He glanced at Lu Qinghuan, turned around and strode out.

"Father, where are you going?"

"Go and see if that wall is really down."
