MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 89 89%

The account book Ji Qingzhuo was holding was stacked up to her chin. She put her head on the account book and didn't look at Lan Li. Her job was to report to the female official.

Seeing that Ji Qingzhuo ignored her, Lan Li coughed lightly again, trying to get Ji Qingzhuo's attention.

But Ji Qingzhuo ignored her at all, she only saw the female officer behind Lanli pointing her in the direction of the female officer.

So she bypassed Lanli and planned to go directly to the place where the female officer worked to report her work. Seeing that she ignored her, Lanli stepped forward, blocked her only way, cleared her throat and said, "Ning Xian, stop pretending."

The ledger in Ji Qingzhuo's hand was almost dropped to the ground by her fright, so why pretend that Lan Li knew that she was not Ning Xian? She just knew she wouldn't pretend to be someone else.

Her hands trembled, and she didn't even dare to look at Lanli.

Seeing that her expression changed slightly, Lanli thought that she had hit Ning Xian's little thought: "Tell me, do you want the female officer to change your place of work for you this time? Live together with all of us for more fun? "

Ji Qingzhuo: "?" My location is so good, why should I move?

So she shook her head silently.

"You're still pretending." Lan Li snorted coldly, "Who doesn't know that you like bustle the most, and Youzhu Garden is so quiet, can you get used to it?"

Get used to it, that's too used to it, she wished she could live there for the rest of her life.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so she could only hold her account book expressionlessly, waiting for Lanli to say that enough was enough to make way for her.

"At the beginning, the master asked us to stand as a punishment. You saw that it was fun outside the school, and you slipped out to play, and I was the only one left. Later, the master blamed me for not watching you. Have you forgotten all these things?" Lan Li stared at Ji Qingzhuo said.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't know this happened at all, so she continued to shake her head blankly.

"You also lied to me that the Lantern Festival is fun, and asked me to come out at night without telling my family. You said you would take me to play with you, but I did come out, but you forgot the way to my family's mansion, and you kept me away all night. , was scolded by the elders of the clan." Lanli found that "Ning Xian" in front of her was silent, so she began to complain endlessly.

It is a joy to have an audience who will listen attentively, not interrupt, and not raise objections.

"Are you really dumb and don't answer a word?" Lan Li asked again.

Ji Qingzhuo blinked at her, she looks good, just standing there is pleasing to the eye, such a blink, it is easy to feel affection for her.

Lan Li turned her head and didn't look at her: "Later, I thought you were disgusting, so I wrote you a letter of severance, and you really ignored me for ten years. Unexpectedly, you can still meet me in this palace, but you can't." It’s retribution for speaking up.”

Ji Qingzhuo felt drowsy after hearing what she said, and felt sore after holding the account book for a long time, so she nodded, expressing her agreement with Lan Li.

If not being able to speak is retribution, she is willing to accept it.

"What are you nodding?" Lan Li hated the casual attitude of "Ning Xian" in front of her the most. No matter what she said, this Ning Xian always had an attitude of "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

This kind of attitude makes her most angry. Why is she still so calm after being angry for so many years?

"You just stand here all afternoon today, I won't let you in, don't even try to find a female official to change your place." Lan Li directly stopped Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo sighed silently, how could someone carry so many things while changing residences? If she came here empty-handed today, it doesn't matter if she stands here with Lanli all day, but she already feels that the hand holding the account book is tired and stiff.

She simply sat down on the bench by the corridor, and put the ledger in her hand beside her. Lan Li blocked the only road leading to the small office yard of the female officer, and the two faced each other like this.

It was still the clever female official in the mansion, taking advantage of Lanli's inattention, slipped in behind her, and told the female official about it.

Not long after, the stern-faced female officer came out, she glanced at Lanli, then at Ji Qingzhuo.

"Come in," said the Magistrate.

Ji Qingzhuo turned around and picked up all the ledgers on the chair. She had been hugging these ledgers for a long time just now, and now when she picked them up, her hands were still trembling with soreness.

Without the help of magic, she is indeed inferior to an ordinary person.

"Master Tan, she must have come to ask you to change your place of residence today. Since she has come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she has to obey the arrangements. If she is so self-willed, how can she work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Lan Li kept talking as she followed the female officer.

"You came to see me today because you want to change your residence?" The female officer turned her gaze to Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo was afraid of the sight of others, so he lowered his head, hid his head behind the pile of books, and shook his head.

The female officer's eyes moved down, and her eyes fell on the white knuckles of her holding the account book.

"Hold it to her." The female officer said to Lanli.

"Master Tan, why?" Lan Li couldn't believe it.

"You have been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so long, and you don't even listen to me?" the female officer said sharply.

Lan Li took over the ledger from Ji Qingzhuo's hand, and Ji Qingzhuo felt relieved when someone helped her with the things.

After arriving in the study, Lanli felt her hands ache after moving such a short distance, so she wanted to put the ledger on the table.

As a result, the female officer stopped her: "Take it and stand."

"If you don't want to change your residence, what are you doing here?" the female officer asked Ji Qingzhuo in a gentle voice.

She had a very good impression of this little girl from the Ning family, she was quiet and well-behaved, and she was serious about her work. When she received the money at the beginning of the month, many female officials praised her very much.

Ji Qingzhuo took down the last account book that Lan Li was holding in his arms, handed it to the female officer, and motioned for her to open it.

The female officer opened it, and after browsing briefly, there was a little surprise in her eyes.

"You checked all this out by yourself?" Her tone was serious, Lan Li didn't even notice so many wrong accounts.

Ji Qingzhuo nodded.

"In a month, I was able to go through all the accounts of the past few years... As expected of a child from a big family." The female officer praised, "Okay, I will pursue these wrong accounts myself."

Lan Li couldn't believe that she could make a wrong calculation: "Master Tan, are you sure she didn't deliberately find fault?"

"If there are no loopholes at all, wouldn't it be possible for her to find out?" The female officer turned her head and stared at Lan Li with cold eyes, "I said two years ago that I would change the account manager."

"Since it's all right, can I put down the account book?" Lan Li thought, if she made a mistake, she was wrong, and she couldn't be punished anyway.

"Take it." The female officer turned around and took down a black lacquered wooden box painted with gold from the desk behind her.

"This is the pastry given by the emperor today. I planned to give it to the female officer in the mansion who behaved better." The female official handed the pastry box to Ji Qingzhuo, "Find out any errors and omissions in the accounts. Your performance is very good. This box of pastries will Here you go."

Ji Qingzhuo really likes those sweet and soft pastries, so she nodded to express her thanks, and took it.

"Ah, by the way, miss Ning, you should know that there will be a lantern festival in the palace, right?" the female official asked Ji Qingzhuo.

Since the eruption of the aura, many mortal customs have gradually disappeared among the monks. This Lantern Festival is equivalent to the Chinese New Year, and it can be called a big event.

Ji Qingzhuo nodded, indicating that she knew.

"I've been preparing for the Lantern Festival for many years, and I'm a little tired this year. I still need to train some new people who can lead the way alone. I'll leave it to you to preside over the preparation of the Lantern Festival." The female official said calmly.

"Didn't you agree to give it to me this year?" Lan Li was surprised and said quickly.

"Those female officers under your command flatter you, do you take it seriously?" The chief female officer turned her sharp eyes to Lan Li, "Miss Lan, why did I ever give you such a guarantee?"

"But, they all say that... how embarrassing I am!" Lan Li was a little unwilling.

"Royal matters, is it capital for you to show off?" The female officer's words were sharp.

"She can't speak, how can she communicate with others?" Lan Li looked at Ji Qingzhuo.

"Of course I will arrange for someone to help her." The female officer had already thought about it.

She directly announced the matter to Ji Qingzhuo, and then struck up a conversation with Lan Li, so that Ji Qingzhuo couldn't find a space to refuse the matter.

Ji Qingzhuo just wanted to lie flat, and she didn't want to do unnecessary things at all. This lantern festival sounds like a lot of trouble.

However, the next sentence of the female officer gave her the idea of ​​refusing again.

"If the Lantern Festival is well organized, it will naturally be appreciated by the emperor, but—" the female official said in a low voice, "instead of trying to please the emperor, it is better to find a way to guess the mind of the 'adult' in the palace, the emperor He is obedient to her."

grown ups? What adults? Ji Qingzhuo was still thinking about whether this "adult" was the demon she was going to transform into, but the female officer had already given her the answer.

"I think you've heard the rumors in Xuedu, yes, this lord in the palace is indeed... scary, if you go to see her, just treat her as an ordinary person, she won't hurt you. ’ said the magistrate.

This sentence has already confirmed that the adults in the palace are Ji Qingzhuo's target, so she nodded, as long as she can get a chance to get close to her.

Originally, if the black shadow did not appear, she could go to the palace at night to investigate, but when the black shadow appeared, she would not dare to use spells outside the Youzhu Garden—Shen Rongyu put a ban on the vicinity of the Youzhu Garden. If someone gets close, he will find that Youzhuyuan is at least safe.

The female official had to confirm these books again, so Ji Qingzhuo went back with a box of rewarded pastries.

When she arrived at Youzhu Garden, she opened the pastry box, and saw dozens of ice crystal-like pastries inside, crystal clear and soft, each one had a different shape and filled with different fillings. Wrapped in a transparent pastry skin, it reveals a different delicious color.

Most of the food for monks pays attention to the amount of aura contained in it, and they seldom care about the appearance of food like ordinary people - anyway, they are all eaten in the stomach. Does it matter what it looks like?

Ji Qingzhuo prefers to appreciate the appearance of the food, so she carefully picked out a pastry shaped like a red plum and put it into her mouth, took a sip, and found that it had a sweet strawberry flavor.

The cake tasted so good that Ji Qingzhuo couldn't bear to eat it all. After eating only one piece, he put the lid back on and sealed it with the outdoor snow to keep the temperature low.

She planned to wait for Shen Rongyu to come back and share this box of pastries with him.
