Ye Qianning had spent many days with it and grown used to its habits. She found she had little resistance to its fawning, and reached out to stroke its head.
White Spirit nuzzled her hand forcefully, then lay on the table and purred contentedly.
It loved the scent of the little girl.
"By the way, what's the situation with the Gu family?" she asked.
"Yesterday, the Gu family brought over several cartloads of account books. Minister Qian and the Ministry of Revenue spent the entire morning counting but couldn't even get through a tenth of them. In the afternoon, they had to borrow seven or eight more officials from the Ministry to help. As of today, they've only managed to tally a small portion. And that's not even all of it—the ledgers for some of the Gu family's other businesses haven't even been brought over yet." Luo Wen had never seen so many account books in his entire life.
'He had to admire the Gu family. Their portfolio of businesses was truly mesmerizing.'
