Gu Chengbin was punished to kneel for a night. When he was brought to the house the next day, he was almost half dead.

His entire body was cold, and only his face was red from the high fever. When he was carried into the Gu residence by the servants, he was already unconscious and kept crying out that he was cold.

In the main hall, Madam Kou, who had been worried about her son and had not slept the entire night, could not take it anymore when she saw Gu Chengbin in this state. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Gu Lingyue was extremely busy. Not only did she have to take care of her younger brother who was almost frozen to death, but she also had to take care of her mother who fainted because she had received too much shock.

Gu Lingyue was just a woman. In the past, Madam Kou had taken care of all the trivial matters in the family. She was not good at it and was busy around two hours before she almost broke down.

After Gu Lingyue finally settled Madam Kou and Gu Chengbin, she sat down in the hall to rest. She raised her hand to massage the space between her brows tiredly.

Before Gu Lingyue could heave a sigh of relief, the Butler had a troubled look on his face. He quickly walked in and bowed to her. “Second Miss, there’s something I need you to deal with…”

Gu Lingyue frowned and looked up at the butler. She saw that the butler was holding a thick account book in his hand.

Gu Lingyue was on the verge of breaking down. She did not reach out to take the account books. “Butler, you’re not asking me to look at the account book, are you? You know that I’ve never been in contact with our familys business, so I don’t know anything about this.”

Seeing Gu Lingyue’s troubled expression, the butler’s expression was even

more conflicted than hers. “Young Miss, I know you’re in a difficult position, but I have no choice. The Madam had set a rule in the past that only the people in the main branch could look at and sort out the familys accounts. Previously, Madam had been busy with the Eldest Miss’ matters and had no time to care about these things. The accounts had already been piled up for several days. Today, all the shops have to buy medicine and need the first branch to pay the silver, but the accounts are not clear and we can not transfer the money.”

Gu Lingyue saw the butler placing the heavy account book in front of her as he spoke and she rolled her eyes. “But I don’t know how to do it. How many times do I have to say it before I can understand?”

The butler looked at Gu Lingyue with a troubled expression. Just as he was at a loss, he heard footsteps from outside the door.

“Hehe, Yue’er, what’s the matter that’s giving you such a headache? Why don’t you tell second uncle? Perhaps I can help you.” At this moment, the second son of the Gu family, Gu Feng, who was also Gu Lingyue’s second uncle, walked into the hall.

Gu Lingyue saw that Gu Fengs eyes had been on the thick account book since he entered the room and she could not help but feel nervous.

She immediately reached out to protect the account book and squeezed out a perfunctory smile. “Why is second uncle here?”

Gu Feng walked over and sat opposite Gu Lingyue. “Yue’er, I’ve already heard of the matter of the first branch. Seriously, why didn’t you tell me about such an important matter? I can help you.”

Gu Lingyue did not seem to understand what Gu Feng really wanted to express in his words. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of tea. “Many thanks, second uncle. However, our first branch’s matter is only a small matter. How can we trouble second uncle? I can think of a way to solve it myself.”

Gu Fengs eyes were filled with contempt as he stared at Gu Lingyue and said, “Yue’er, don’t put on a brave front in front of me. I know that you’ve never come into contact with business before, so you must be confused when you look at this account book. Let’s do it this way, let me help you take a look.. We’re all one family, so you shouldn’t doubt me, right?”
