Chapter 228: The Fierce Female Bandit and the Young Commander Yan Wang (23)
As soon as Yan Xue reached the stairs, she heard Mrs. Mo's friendly voice: "Xiaoxue is here!"
Madam Mo came forward with a smile on her face, enthusiastically holding Yan Xue's hand, and said angrily: "Qingcang is such a kid, he didn't even tell me in advance, he really gave me a surprise yesterday.
But it is also true that you young people should have your own space, and the Marshal and I are not old antiques anymore. "
Yan Xue lowered her head shyly, "Hello, Madam Mo."
"Don't call me Madam, it seems strange, just call me Aunt.
Yan Xue nodded obediently, "Yes, aunt."
Madam Mo looked Yan Xue up and down, her eyes full of admiration: "Oh, Xue is getting more and more beautiful!"
As she spoke, she pulled Yan Xue over affectionately, sat on the sofa, and started chatting.
Madam Mo sighed, "There were too many people at home yesterday, and I didn't have time to have a good chat with you. You and Qingcang, oh, forget it, we can't control your affairs."
He turned to Xie Jingying next to him and said, "Jingying, you are lucky. I liked you very much when I first saw you more than four years ago.
At that time, I was thinking, how great it would be if I had a daughter like Xiaoxue. Now Qingcang and Xiaoxue are together, I can’t tell you how happy I am.”
Xie Jingying said quickly, "Guilan, after you two get married, your wife will be considered half a daughter. Let Xiaoxue be filial to you."
"That's right. I'll be waiting for you then."
Madam Mo patted Yan Xue's hand gently and said earnestly, "Now that you are getting married soon, I am relieved. From now on, everything in the Marshal's Mansion will belong to Qingcang.
You also have to learn to manage it and not let those with ill intentions succeed."
The corners of Yan Xue's mouth twitched. How come she didn't know what it meant to get married soon?
However, she understood who the "person with ulterior motives" Mrs. Mo was talking about, and she nodded.
Madam Mo smiled with relief and continued, “I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will be able to manage the Marshal’s Mansion in perfect order.
I will teach you seriously in the future, don’t be afraid, I will let you be the boss as soon as you come in…”
Yan Xue watched Madam Mo talking to herself for so long. She really didn't know how to express herself. After thinking for a while, she said, "Thank you, auntie. I will definitely try my best to do well."
"Hey, you're so good."
After saying that, Yao Guilan took Yan Xue's hand and got into the car and returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
Yan Xue followed Madam Mo all the way to the hall of the Marshal's Mansion. Madam Mo sat on the main seat and asked Yan Xue to sit next to her.
Then he said to someone next to him, "Go and call everyone outside to come over and meet the Fourth Young Lady."
Yan Xue got a little mad when she heard this, "Aunt, Qingcang and I haven't gotten married yet, so it's not appropriate to call her the Fourth Young Lady."
"Oh, it's only a matter of time. Let's get everyone to change their ways earlier to avoid making the wrong calls later."
Yan Xue's face twitched. This family really wanted to marry Mo Qingcang off.
Yao Guilan and Yan Xue went to the Marshal's Mansion to identify everyone.
The whole Marshal's Mansion didn't say much. Apart from the Marshal and his wife, there was a second concubine and her third young master.
However, in addition to the principal wife, the third young master also had two concubines. The principal wife gave birth to a daughter, and the two concubines each gave birth to a son.
The key point is that the Marshal's Mansion is quite large. In addition to servants and adjutants, there are also cleaners, plant trimmers, and kitchen staff, totaling more than 200 people.
It is really not easy to find the spy.
Throughout the whole day, Yan Xue spent all her time looking at the account books, except for the morning when she met a crowded group of people. Mrs. Mo taught her step by step.
Yan Xue was dizzy after looking at the account books for a whole day, but she also understood the background of the Marshal's Mansion. There were more than 300 shops in three provinces alone, as well as fertile farms and wine shops.
No wonder she asked for three hundred boxes of ammunition, and that guy agreed without blinking an eye, it seems like it's still less.
That night, Mo Qingcang came to find Yan Xue.
"How was your day? Are you tired of learning from your grandma?"
Yan Xue looked at the man unhappily, "Do you know how many people are in your family? More than 200 people, and I haven't even recognized all their faces today! Your mother just dragged me to look at the account book.
Tell your mother not to let me look at the account book. I am not planning to marry you."
The smile in Mo Qingcang's eyes flashed away, "You should study hard, otherwise I won't be able to explain to mom."
"Well, can you narrow it down for me?"
Mo Qingcang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Xue: "There are 16 people in total. These 16 people have left the house more than twice in the past week. I think they are suspicious.
Please help me check it out first, and don't alert the enemy."
"Do I need you to teach me?" Yan Xue rolled her eyes.
But when she looked at the tenderness in the man's eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She didn't want to have anything to do with this man anymore, she just wanted to get the job done quickly and then run away.
Yan Xue took the list and began to study it.
On the other hand, Mo Qingcang sealed off the entire Ancheng and went door to door with household registration to conduct a check.
He wanted to see where those islanders were hiding.
Unexpectedly, four suspicious people were found, but before Mo Qingcang could interrogate them, the four people committed suicide by taking poison.
Mo Qingcang looked at the four bodies and said coldly, "Strip them naked."
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately started to strip the four men of their clothes. Unexpectedly, they were actually wearing loincloths.
He sneered and ordered a fire to burn several people. It seemed that there was still one missing, and he should be in the Marshal's Mansion.
......
"Are you talking about Aunt Yang who is beside the Second Concubine?" Mo Qingcang asked with a frown.
Yan Xue nodded, "Yes, she should be in disguise, but I have no evidence to prove that she is from the island country."
The man nodded and said to Zhang Zuo: "Check!"
Soon, information about Yang Ma's recent whereabouts was reported.
"Why did she go to the pharmacy this afternoon?"
"He said he was going to get pregnancy-preserving medicine for the Third Young Master's Second Concubine."
"Did the people at the pharmacy ask about it?"
"I checked and it turned out that they prescribed abortion-preserving medicine."
"Did she come into contact with other people on the way?"
"Young Marshal, this... this is difficult to check."
