After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

Behind her, Zi'er came hurriedly to tell her that the cause of the fire had been found. Li Qingwan immediately calmed down and turned to look at Zi'er, "What's the reason?"

She actually had someone she suspected. With so many outsiders coming to the workshop in one day, she should be able to find the person if she checked them one by one.

But Zi'er's answer was completely different from what she thought. "It was Uncle Ji who did it. He said he went to look for lining cloth and accidentally splashed the flames on the cloth. He was scared and wanted to run away, but in the end he went back to put out the fire, so no major damage was caused."

"Uncle Ji?"

She naturally knew Uncle Ji. He usually did some cleaning work in the workshop. "He is only responsible for cleaning. Why would he go to the warehouse?"

"I also find it strange. He shouldn't go there."

Hearing this, Li Qingwan still doubted those people, "Let Ah Qing keep an eye on Uncle Ji and see who he has been in contact with in the past few days?"

"Madam, do you suspect that he was instructed by someone?"

"Whether he is or not, he is doubtful, understand?"

Zi'er nodded, "Madam, I know what to do."

Li Qingwan coughed and said, "Let's go and see how the cloth made by Hu Zi is doing."

She has the best embroiderer and cloth-making master, and she will definitely be able to accomplish the task this time. There should also be a winner and a loser between her and Madam Su!

"lady."

Xiuzhu actually walked towards her and bowed to her respectfully, "Madam, Xiuzhu is here to report."

Li Qingwan saw Xiuzhu holding a dustpan in her hand and she looked like she was really working. Then she looked at her face, which was swollen because she had beaten herself into a pig's head as punishment. This mistress had never gotten any advantage from her since she came into the house.

Now, seeing her being bullied and abused under her nose, she was in a good mood.

"Your face is swollen, why don't you take a rest instead of working so hard?"

Xiuzhu doesn't believe that Li Qingwan cares about her. Isn't it Li Qingwan's fault that her face became like this?

But she didn't confront her head-on. Wang Po was right. What she needed to do was to be patient and learn skills. Didn't old lady Sima take a fancy to Li Qingwan's abilities? Then Xiuzhu was not bad either.

Therefore, even though she was tortured so miserably by Li Qingwan, she had to endure it. She had to endure it and learn skills!

"Yes, Xiuzhu, if you are not feeling well, you don't have to come. There are so many people in the workshop and we don't need you to work."

Zi'er's words were also meant to mock her, but Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Madam, Xiuzhu wants to learn skills from you. No matter how difficult it is, please teach me, Madam."

Li Qingwan didn't expect Xiuzhu to be so patient. It seemed that she had learned to be smarter these days. If it were in the past, she would never bow to her.

"What skills do you want to learn?"

"Xiuzhu just learned how to make cloth, and now she wants to learn..."

"Xiuzhu, you don't think you want to learn other skills now that you already know how to make cloth?"

Zi'er didn't expect Xiuzhu to be so arrogant. Learning to make cloth is a profound knowledge. How could she understand it in just half a day?

"lady……"

Xiuzhu raised her eyes and looked at Li Qingwan pleadingly. She didn't want to waste time talking to this girl, and Li Qingwan just smiled and said, "What else do you want to learn?"

"Madam, Xiuzhu wants to learn how to do business from you."

What, learn how to do business?

Xiuzhu's words made Li Qingwan sneer in her heart. With her illiterate appearance, what business could she do?

But even so, she followed Xiuzhu's meaning and said, "Since you want to learn, I will teach you. Just follow me."

Xiuzhu didn't expect that Li Qingwan would teach her so easily. Why didn't she refuse her?

Strange, what is Li Qingwan planning?

Never mind, just follow him first!

Who would have thought that Xiuzhu was taken to the accounting office by Li Qingwan, where several old gentlemen were clacking beads on abacus, recording the daily output.

"Ma'am, what are we doing here?"

Xiuzhu didn't understand why they came here. Aren't they here to learn how to do business?

Li Qingwan found it ridiculous to see that she was clueless. Sima Yue really knew how to pick women. She was a complete fool with some beauty but good looks. She was useless!

"This is a place to learn business. I'll ask the accountant to teach you how to do the accounting first. If you want to learn how to do business, you have to be able to do the accounting. Otherwise, you won't have any idea of ​​how much profit or loss you will have. And won't you be doing business at a loss?"

"This……"

But if you ask her to settle the account, she won’t do it!

But she is not afraid, she can learn!

"What, you don't want to?"

"No, Xiuzhu is willing. Thank you, Madam, for your help."

Li Qingwan saw that she had fallen into the trap, but she smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. Since you are my son's aunt, I should do you this favor."

"Thank you ma'am."

Li Qingwan felt uncomfortable whenever she mentioned the child. It was obviously her child, but now she had become a concubine who could not be seen in public, and Run'er still hated her.

When Xiuzhu thought about her son being taken away by this woman, she hated Li Qingwan even more. Why didn't the fire just now burn down this place? Why?

"Master, you can only practice according to your personality. You should learn well."

As she spoke, Li Qingwan said to the person inside, "Mr. Li, please come out for a moment."

Mr. Li is also her man now. Since the workshop became profitable, she has gradually replaced him with her own people. The old woman has few confidants left.

Not enough to be afraid of.

Mr. Li was about fifty years old, but he walked briskly and used the abacus skillfully.

"Madam, do you have something to ask me?"

"This girl's name is Xiuzhu. You will take care of her in the future. Let her learn how to use an abacus first, and then let her keep accounts!"

Mr. Li glanced at Xiuzhu and thought she was ugly at first sight. "Madam, why did you find such an ugly person?"

What? How dare the old man call her ugly? Her face was just swollen, how could she be ugly?

"How can you talk like that, old man? I'm just injured, I'm not..."

"Okay Xiuzhu, this guy will be your master in the future, you have to be respectful to him. He has been doing abacus for thirty years and is older than you. You have to respect him."

Xiuzhu was naturally unwilling to be taught a lesson by Li Qingwan, but she still endured it. When the day comes when she becomes the mistress, these old guys who look down on her will have to kneel down and beg for mercy. Now, she has to get close to these accountants and establish good relationships with them to prepare for the future!

"That's what the lady said."

Xiuzhu endured it in order to learn some skills, and immediately bowed to Mr. Li, "Sir, please accept me as your disciple..."

"Hey, wait a minute. I didn't say I wanted to take you in as my apprentice. Since Madam asked you to come, then just follow me in. Bring me those account books. I'll do the math later."

Xiuzhu was also frightened when she saw the pile of account books that were taller than her. What? They wanted her to come here to work as a laborer?

Mr. Li noticed that Xiuzhu was unwilling to leave, so he stopped and turned to look at her, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you come in?"

Xiuzhu had no choice but to suppress all her resentment and anger in her heart. After slipping in, Li Qingwan winked at Mr. Li, who naturally understood and told her not to worry.

Zi'er behind him still couldn't understand what Madam was planning, "Madam, are you really going to let Xiuzhu learn how to do accounting?"
