After speaking, Housekeeper Han glanced at Housekeeper Cao, who squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying sipping a small teapot as if he hadn't heard anything.
Housekeeper Han also glanced at Sun Accountant.
Sun Accountant was clearly taken aback, and his previous dismissive expression faded as he asked, "What's this? Does Madam want to see the external court's account books too?"
Hong Ye nodded, "Yes."
Sun Accountant looked at Gu Shiliu and asked, "Is this also what the Marquis wants?"
Gu Shiliu smiled and said, "Naturally, the Marquis mentioned long ago to let Madam help with looking over the external court's account books. The Marquis has been fighting outside all this time and hasn't managed the external courtyard for days since returning. Now that Madam is overseeing both the inner and external courtyards, isn't it just perfect?"
Sun Accountant leaned back dispiritedly against the chair back, looking rather displeased.
