Chapter 105: The little girl has grown up
Xin Nianyan looked at him coldly and tapped the account book on the table. "If your money is not returned by tomorrow noon, just wait to be sent to the official for strict action."
"Shan Jiu, send him out."
She didn't want to take another look at this person now.
"Miss, do you think Miss is going her own way without caring about Madam's face?"
Shopkeeper Lin was dragged out of the inner hall by Shan Jiu's collar. Xin Nianyan listened to his wailing and responded leisurely.
"It's not your turn to take care of the family affairs of my prime minister's house."
Give her face? In her previous life, she obeyed the advice of the mother and daughter and ended up with a fate worse than death. She must learn to behave in this life.
Xin Nianyan turned to look at the steward who had been waiting beside him.
The steward quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
"Miss, you know everything!"
"The villain and the other men in the cloth shop are often suppressed by the uncle and nephew, but they suffer from the fact that the lady behind them has always dared to be angry but dare not speak out!"
He looked angry and looked at Xin Nianyan with gratitude.
"Miss, I am very pleased to have eliminated the unhealthy tendencies in Buzhuang today!"
In one speech, he not only praised Xin Nianyan, but also clarified his relationship with his wife. He was much better than the shopkeeper.
Xin Nianyan glanced at him and said, "Now that the shopkeeper is vacant, rather than hiring someone, it is better to hire someone who is familiar with the operation of the store. Why not let Manager Zhao take over for the time being?"
"Thank you, Miss. I will live up to Miss's high expectations! If anything happens in the future, just ask Miss, and I will be sure to follow your lead!"
The steward was so surprised that he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up. If anything happens from now on, I will ask Han Lu to come and meet you."
Xin Nianyan stood up, and the few people waiting around her raised their feet and followed her.
"Let's go to the next house."
Several people stepped out of the inner hall, and the waiters outside gathered in a group and watched them carefully.
Shopkeeper Zhao sent several people to the door and bowed. "Best regards, Miss!"
When the waiters saw this, they quickly followed suit and saluted.
Xin Nianyan's steps were slow and steady, her figure was graceful, and her snow-white down was swaying on her cheeks, which did not impair her majesty and elegance at all, and her whole body exuded a smart and bright beauty.
In the teahouse opposite, Prince Han, dressed in white, watched her step into the carriage, with the corners of his lips raised slightly.
When the little girl grows up, she can take charge of her own business.
After entering the carriage, Xin Nianyan breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
Xiao Zhu couldn't hide her excitement.
"Miss, you are so awesome. I didn't even dare to say anything in the store just now!"
She was breathing softly just now. The look of the young lady is really scary and adorable at the same time. She is so like everyone’s young lady!
Xin Nianyan looked at her with a smile, "We are here to check the accounts. If we don't pretend to be presentable, we won't be able to scare people."
Shi Wu looked at her deeply and said nothing.
There was no way she was pretending to look like that. Even a secret guard like her, who had been fighting for a long time, was a little afraid of her.
The group of people soon arrived at the next store. Xin Nianyan straightened his hood and stepped out of the car.
In nearly an afternoon, there were a total of four shops on West Street and East Street, including a cloth shop, a clothing store, a rouge shop, and a restaurant. Four shops had three shopkeepers, which showed that Zhang Yunhui had many omissions in her daily life.
When we returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already very late.
As soon as she entered the Yanyun Courtyard, before Xin Nianyan's stool was warm, a servant from the Huilan Courtyard came and said that the Prime Minister invited her to come.
She had already expected that she had almost cut off most of Zhang Yunhui's money today. It was strange that this woman could sit still.
So when she got home, she didn't even change her clothes, just waiting for the call.
Zhang Yunhui was really angry and asked her father to invite her over in her yard.
The angrier she became, the more comfortable Xin Nianyan became. She took Xiaozhu all the way to Huilan Courtyard. Before she entered the courtyard, she heard Zhang Yunhui crying.
"Sir, the lady is here."
Zhang Yunhui is already able to get out of bed, and looking so sickly and frail can indeed arouse some men's desire for protection.
"Naughty girl, kneel down!" Xin Yuanwen, who was comforting Zhang Yunhui, saw her and cursed angrily.
"Father, I wonder what mistake my daughter has made?" Xin Nianyan lowered her head, looking a little aggrieved.
"Sister, what did you do today, do you want us to tell you again?" Xin Rouer looked at her with a sad face.
"I just went to my mother's shop for a visit. Did I do anything?"
Xin Nianyan frowned in confusion.
"My sister just paid a visit and replaced the shopkeeper that my mother has worked so hard to train for many years. I don't know if she will take over the shop if she looks at it more."
Xin Rouer glanced at her faintly.
"Sister, what you said is wrong. Shouldn't I keep my mother's shop in my hands?"
Xin Nianyan looked over calmly.
"You..." Xin Rouer gritted her teeth and stared at her, almost shocked by Xin Nianyan.
Her mother had always been in charge of those shops, and in her mind they belonged to them. Why was this bitch so shameless and so confident that she wanted to take them away!
"You are a wealthy lady. If you don't stay in your boudoir, who asked you to interfere in the business of the shop?"
Xin Wenyuan cursed angrily, "You even kicked out all the shopkeepers trained by your mother. What a nonsense!"
"Master, please stop scolding Yan'er. She doesn't understand this. She probably didn't mean it." Zhang Yunhui comforted her.
But these words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and made Xin Wenyuan even more angry, "Your mother has trained the shopkeeper for so many years, and you drive her away as soon as you say. You simply don't take her seriously! We will go door to door tomorrow to pick her up."
Please come back here!"
Xin Rouer pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking at her with gloating eyes.
"Father, each of the three shopkeepers we kicked out today embezzled thousands of taels of silver from the Mo shop every year. The total sum is already over ten thousand."
Xin Nianyan explained unhurriedly. Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to speak, he added, "The evidence is conclusive. If father doesn't believe it, I will send the evidence to the government for investigation."
"What?" When he heard that someone dared to embezzle money from his prime minister's house, Xin Wenyuan was so angry that he slapped the table and became furious.
"You are so brave, you even dare to embezzle the money of my prime minister's palace! You must be brought to the official and dealt with severely!"
Zhang Yunhui changed her face when she heard this. These people can't stand the investigation. If they are found on her...
"Master, they are all old men in the shop. Maybe they have some troubles to do such a thing. As long as they pay back the money, there will be no further investigation."
She quickly spoke softly, as if she couldn't bear it, "Besides, if this matter spreads, it will not be good for the reputation of the prime minister's house."
Xin Wenyuan sighed, "You are just too kind."
However, after she said this, it would indeed affect the reputation of the prime minister's house, so she did not intend to pursue it any further.
Xin Nianyan sneered in his heart and looked at Xin Wenyuan with a calm face.
"Father, these shops are my mother's dowry. Now that I am already fifteen years old, I can't trouble my mother any more, lest others gossip about me."
It is possible that this gossip is really spread, but what exactly it is spread about is hard to say.
"And the prince has also said that I will enter the prince's palace in the future and support me to familiarize myself with some management matters in advance."
When Xin Nianyan said this, it was obvious that Xin Rouer's expression became distorted, and she felt even more comfortable.
