Chapter 41: 22.2

In the past two years, Southern Jing gradually settled down in Lin’an, and the specifications of the banquet also rose every year.

Consequently, the Ministry of Rites was also thrown off their feet.

Under such circumstances, even though Jiang Suizhou received a lot of care from Ji You and did not have to work until midnight, he was still only able to return to his house on time, not early. And even so, when he returned to the house every day, he was still so tired that he felt like he was walking on air. He felt dizzy, and he was so sickly that he wished he could throw himself down.

However, he rested well every day.

Huo Wujiu seemed to have forgotten that the bed was his turf. Every day when Jiang Suizhou wanted to rest, Huo Wujiu would take the couch so that Jiang Suizhou could sleep on the bed.

Jiang Suizhou wanted to remind Huo Wujiu every day to switch back with him, but he was so beaten every day and the bed was so comfortable that he put off the idea again and again.

Because of this, although Jiang Suizhou was tired during this period, he slept soundly every night. When he got up the next morning, he was more or less recharged and wouldn’t be really burnt-out.

To a certain degree, this credit was all due to Huo Wujiu. Even when Jiang Suizhou looked at Huo Wujiu every day, he felt that the latter was quite pleasing to the eye.

He also gradually formed a delicate balance with Huo Wujiu.

The two of them still had little communication, but because they lived in the same courtyard, they would have two meals together every morning and evening. After they finished eating, if it was early in the day, they would stay on their respective side in the bedroom, each doing their own thing.

It was quite peaceful.

This lasted until the 15th of the month.

Although Jiang Suizhou was busy, he still kept in mind the account book that he found in the study.

On the morning of the 15th, he called Meng Qianshan aside as soon as he had eaten breakfast.

“Have you brought back the account book for this month?” He asked in an unclear and meaningful way.

Of course, he fooled Meng Qianshan. Hearing him ask, he hastily took out a thin piece of paper from his bosom.

“It was only delivered last night, so I thought I would give it to you when you return from work today,” he reported with a smile.

Jiang Suizhou took the account and saw that the details were noted in it, which consisted of the entire diet and living expenses of a family of two in a month. Because these two people never went out, their expenses were very little. There wasn’t much money spent a month down the line.

Jiang Suizhou glanced at Meng Qianshan and said, “This month’s expenses are a little less.”

Meng Qianshan replied, “Is it? That young lady doesn’t spend much money, and the old lady’s wind chill has been treated. Hence, she doesn’t even need money for medicine.”

Jiang Suizhou paused, then tried: “That’s good. If they need to spend money for something, there’s no need to save. These two people are important and must be taken care of.”

Meng Qianshan immediately took the bait.

He smiled naively, nodded repeatedly and echoed, “Don’t worry, Master. I will save you the trouble! I will definitely not let Madam Gu’s family suffer an ounce of hardship!”

Jiang Suizhou was stunned.

…Madam Gu?

Unexpectedly, the original owner had actually detained Gu Changyun’s family in the house in order to make him obey him.

It was no wonder that among these two people’s expenses, there were no travel expenditures. On the contrary, a huge amount of money was spent on the hiring of guards. It was no wonder that Gu Changyun didn’t resent him a tiny bit even after testing him. It was as if he didn’t have any master-servant relationship with the original owner…

Jiang Suizhou paused and put the account book away.

“It’s good that you know.” He gently nodded, then turned around and walked out.

He finally got to the bottom of Gu Changyun’s details. Now, he desperately wanted to know in what way Xu Du was brought under the original owner’s command.

He had not forgotten that on the 15th day of every month, he had a money exchange with Xu Du. From this, he might be able to get a glimpse of Xu Du’s bottom line.

After returning from the Ministry of Rites tonight, he needed to make a trip to Xu Du’s courtyard.

While Jiang Suizhou internally devised plans, he walked out of the courtyard and entered the palanquin parked outside the courtyard.

There were still a bunch of chores waiting for him at the Ministry of Rites, and he also obtained important news about his staff at this time. So many things occupied his mind that he forgot to tell Meng Qianshan that he would not be returning to the courtyard for dinner this evening.
