Chapter 728 - Im The Lanlord(4) (1/2)

The ancient account books were different from the modern era, where the system could generate the answers. They had to look at each and every transaction line by line and calculate themselves.

Furthermore, it was in ancient writings, by the time Shi Sheng was done reading, she felt dizzy and nauseous.

Shi Sheng picked a few dubious books and told Qiu Shui, “replace the storekeeper of these stores.”

“Hmm?” Qiu Shui did not get it. She flipped through the books, “Miss, these storekeepers were the elders. What’s wrong with it?”

When Ruan Xiao Yang was unwilling to learn accounts, Qiu Shui was forced to learn by Father Ruan. She watched those books and did not notice any issues.

Shi Sheng pointed out a few falsifications in the books.

At first, Qiu Shui did not understand. After reading it a few more times, she only got it. Her expression turned sour, “how can they do this? We’ve been giving them the best benefits, and they have been working for the Ruan Family for a long time…”

“Because they’re the elders, that’s why they dare to do so.”

Ruan Xiao Yang was young and a girl. That was why they dared to make falsifications.

“Miss, I’ll replace them right away.” Qiu Shui headed out with the books.

They must think that Miss is naive to falsify the transactions.

The incidents of these storekeepers were spread, and those who planned to take advantage of this vanquished their ideas after this.

The Miss left behind in the Ruan Family was not easy to fool with.

After taking care of the Ruan Family, Shi Sheng only had time to pay attention to the female lead.

“The rent from Bai He Village hasn’t been collected, right?” Shi Sheng asked Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui nodded, “we haven’t collected from that village… before that, they were making a huge scene, so we collected from their neighboring village. But we heard that everything in Bai He Village was robbed by the bandits. Even if we collect now, we can’t collect much. Why did you suddenly ask this, Miss?”

Shi Sheng waved her hand, “let’s go. We’re going to show them some color.”

“Ah?” Qiu Shui did not get it, she looked at Shi Sheng puzzled, What’s Miss talking about?

“We’re going to collect rent.” Shi Sheng rephrased.

“This kind of errands should be done by the servants. Miss, you shouldn’t go.” Qiu Shui disagreed. Villages were dirty and messy. There was no place for Miss to go.

Most importantly, Miss was an unmarried maiden. How could she show her face?

“I got bored staying at home, so I want to take a stroll. Let’s go.” Shi Sheng’s tone was calm, but it was irrefutable.

Qiu Shui looked at Shi Sheng. She was confused, Why did Miss become so strange?

She opened her mouth, wanting to convince Shi Sheng. The moment she looked into her eyes, that pair of eyes was as clear as before but less turbulent.

Qiu Shui had never seen anyone as calm as her. Without an ounce of emotions, the cold was spreading from the bottom of her eyes. It was so chilling.

Qiu Shui stunned there, <>i> What’s up with Miss?

……

Bai He Village was rather far away from Bai He County. It took the whole morning for them to travel there.

Shi Sheng hopped off the carriage. The fields were next to the road. Some tenants were harvesting the small amount of pay left there.

Some people noticed the carriage when Shi Sheng’s carriage showed up.

A ‘Ruan Family’ sign was hung on the carriage, so they knew that it belonged to the Ruan Family, which was highly possible to be a servant coming to collect rent. However, when they saw Shi Sheng dressed in silk, hopping off the carriage, their expression changed right away.
