Chapter 540: Can you do the math? Can you read the account book?
"Qiong Yue needs to rest now. If you are not feeling well, please do not see her for the time being, lest..."
"Why are you stopping me from seeing her?"
Shangguan Que interrupted Yuan Buwei and stared at her: "Are you trying to hide something?"
"I don't want to hide anything, I just suggest you..."
"I am in good health and I must see her right now, otherwise I will tear down this place." Shangguan Que interrupted Yuan Buwei again, and his tone became colder.
"Shangguan Que, this is not your home, please be careful with your words."
Lu Sui was so angry that he stood in front of Yuan Buwei and angrily warned Shangguan Que.
"Ah."
Shangguan Que was not afraid, he sneered: "If she was fine, you two wouldn't be talking nonsense to me. At the beginning, I trusted you and agreed to let her follow you to the battlefield. Now her life or death is unknown, do you want to shirk responsibility?"
When Lu Sui heard this, his eyes were full of disbelief: "Shangguan Que, don't you understand what I'm saying? Qiong Yue is not convenient to see you now, and you don't look well. A Wei asked you to rest well before seeing Qiong Yue. Is that wrong?"
"You're wrong for not letting me see her!"
Lu Sui was speechless. Why didn’t he realize Shangguan Que was so difficult to communicate with before?
"We haven't hidden anything from you. Qiongyue is injured and has been in a coma until now. Any disturbance may worsen her condition. You can see her, but you must take good care of yourself. You must also change into clean clothes to avoid infecting her with germs."
"Injuried?"
Shangguan Que's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lu Sui: "Why aren't you injured?"
Lu Sui almost vomited blood: "Shangguan Que, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Did I say something wrong? You guys..."
"enough!"
Yuan Buwei rarely lost her temper: "Shangguan Que, no one here wants Qiong Yue to get hurt, but it happened. I have just told you the situation. You can see her if you want, but clean yourself up. We are all very busy and can't spare the time, and we have to take care of your emotions!"
"I……"
"What do you mean by 'I'? If you want to see Qiong Yue, clean yourself up." Seeing Shangguan Que's frustrated look, Lu Sui immediately became excited, "What are you standing there for? Do you need me to carry you there?"
Shangguan Que's mouth twitched and his hands were clenched tightly.
After a few seconds, he turned around and followed the servant out.
Half an hour later.
He saw Meng Qiongyue who was in a coma.
"Qiong Yue, Qiong Yue, wake up..."
Shangguan Que called out many times, but Meng Qiongyue didn't respond. He immediately asked Yuan Buwei angrily, "Why was she injured? How did you take care of her?"
"Mr. Third Shangguan, could you please be more polite?"
Yun Ling was so angry that she said to Shangguan Que, "Ms. Meng was injured because she captured the enemy. She is a great contributor to the Swift Wind Camp. All of us are looking forward to her waking up. When you asked how you took care of her, it sounded as if the young marquis and the young mistress had done something to let her down."
"Capture the enemy?"
Shangguan Que frowned: "With so many people, why do you want her to go?"
"She wanted to go there on her own initiative."
Yuan Buwei looked up at Shangguan Que: "You should know Qiongyue's personality very well. Even if Lu Sui stopped her, she would still go. The injury was an accident."
"Since it was an accident, we should..."
"Shangguan Que, this place has just experienced a brutal war, with many casualties on both sides, and many innocent civilians also died here. In the face of war, no one can be immune. Of course, if you insist on thinking that we didn't take good care of Qiong Yue, I admit it, but please don't criticize Lu Sui anymore. Many of his brothers died, and he didn't even have time to cry properly. He and the soldiers were involved in rebuilding the dock."
"I...I didn't mean that, I just..."
Shangguan Que, who had calmed down at this moment, realized that what he had just said was too much.
If Yuan Buwei hadn't been here, there would probably be more casualties, and Qiong Yue might have even died.
"You are worried about Qiongyue. I understand your feelings. Otherwise, I would not have written to Master Shangguan. The situation here is very serious. We are almost at the end of our rope."
"what?"
Shangguan Que frowned: "Is it so serious?"
"We only eat one meal a day now, and the saved food is distributed to the people, but what we lack most here are various medicinal herbs. The pharmacies in the town were previously looted by the Northern Qiang Army. They burned and plundered, doing all kinds of evil, so Miss Meng was injured. There is no medicine left. We really have no other choice but to write a letter to the head of the Shangguan family. Otherwise, with Miss Meng's temper, she will definitely not let us... No..." Yun Ling stopped talking halfway and looked at Shangguan Que in confusion, "Young Madam wrote a letter to the head of the Shangguan family, how did you know?"
"How could I not know?"
Shangguan Que's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, but he quickly calmed down: "When a person is unwell, he will be very fragile. With me here, Qiong Yue will get better quickly."
"You are a grown man and you still need someone to take care of you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Can you take good care of Miss Meng?" Yun Ling really didn't give Shangguan Que any face at all.
"Don't underestimate me. There is a first time for everything."
"I think, before Qiong Yue wakes up, I'm worried about you taking care of her."
Shangguan Que: “…”
The master and servant are both more sharp-tongued than each other.
"But if she wakes up and sees me first, she will be very happy."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Why?"
"If you were sick, would you want to face your loved one with a sick face?"
Shangguan Que was about to get angry, but when he heard the word "sweetheart", he tried to suppress the upward curve of his mouth: "Then I can't just do nothing."
"Can you do the math? Can you read the account book?" Yuan Buwei asked.
"Of course. This is the basics."
"Okay, then you go to the town with Li Yan tomorrow. We need money for reconstruction everywhere, but you have to record every penny clearly. When the court sends someone over, you have to check with them." Yuan Buwei nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"Just leave it to me?"
Shangguan Que didn't believe it. He had only been there for half a day and he had to start working?
"You don't have confidence in yourself, or..."
"I have confidence. I have great confidence." Shangguan Que patted his chest, "I promise not to cause you any trouble. I can also bring you honor."
"It's to bring honor to yourself. Besides, Lu Sui will report all the things you have done to the court in the future. It will also help the reputation of your Shangguan family." Yuan Buwei smiled, "Okay, you have worked hard all the way. Rest early today. Let's set off with Li Yan and the others tomorrow morning."
