The Regent Asked Me Why I Stayed with Him Every Night to Keep Accounts

Women in the Zhou Dynasty could serve as internal inspectors, specializing in inspecting the clan's finances. The first nine people died suddenly, and no one dared to take over. However, the young princess Jiang Ying took office with a smile, patrolling at night with a lantern, checking drainage, smelling odors, and using her sense of smell to distinguish gold and silver and detect lies. She can smell old account books, adulterated food, and even guilty consciences. When he first entered the Regent's Palace, he was arrested due to abnormal sewage discharge, and the smuggling of sea salt was revealed. Xiao Lin tested him coldly, but she smiled without fear; when the housekeeper made false accounts, she exposed it on the spot. The death of his predecessor is surrounded by doubts, and clues emerge in the case of family extermination. She was careful every step of the way, and he watched her secretly. There are undercurrents of power and conspiracy, and conflicts between happy enemies are constant. She doesn't cling, doesn't give in, and is a lantern that shines through the mist of the palace.
