Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Manager He paused, and Shen Shen immediately poured him a cup of tea to moisten his throat. He took the cup and drank two sips.

"Miss Mu secretly ran to Heyin Tower to wait, and expressed her admiration for the prince after seeing him. But how could the prince be nice to someone he didn't like? He rejected her many times with a cold face. Miss Mu couldn't get the love she wanted, so she took out her temper on us servants. I don't know how much I have suffered from Miss Mu."

Manager He took another sip of tea and continued, "Lord Mu Yun had to save face when he found out. Miss Mu was detained and confined by her family, so she couldn't bother the prince, and everyone thought the matter was over. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, who doesn't like my prince's face? I am always amazed when I see him, not to mention the young ladies of your respective families who are of marriageable age, and my prince's status and position..."

"Manager He!"

Shen Shen couldn't help interrupting him as he kept talking about something else. "As far as you know, does Zhaixinglou have any other plans against Heyinlou?"

Zhenying was standing aside, and when she heard her young lady actually say the words "our Heyinlou", she couldn't help but turn her head to look. She saw that the Second Young Lady and Manager He were unaware of this sentence, and were still whispering with their heads down. She could only pretend not to hear it.

Manager He suddenly felt that Miss Shen was really different today. She had suddenly become more cheerful and intelligent.

At the same time, he also felt that the prince's attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards Miss Mu.

"Oh, Second Miss, Zhaixing Tower has many ways to target us and slander Heyin Tower."

Manager He immediately showed a gnashing expression, "Zhaixinglou is simply despicable and shameless. Before opening, they secretly poached our jewelry craftsmen with extremely high wages. Many of these craftsmen's skills are very rare, and they were cultivated with great difficulty after the palace ran the business for so many years. And I just said that after opening, all the jewelry was 10% lower than ours. Starting from the twelfth month of last year, they spread rumors to every noble lady who went to Zhaixinglou, saying how bad our jewelry was, how our palace was so black-hearted to make money, and how... He lied to them and even slandered Heyinlou for not using pure materials and selling fake gold and gemstones. Some of these noble ladies admired the prince, and in order to please him, they immediately came to tell him about the slanders of Zhaixinglou, which made our young prince Yanji so angry that he rushed to Zhaixinglou and beat up their steward Li. Steward Li took the opportunity to go to Mu Yungong to complain despite his injuries. The Mu family was already in turmoil because of Miss Mu's obsession with the prince, and now, young prince Yanji beat them up. Don't take the opportunity to retaliate against our palace."

Shen Shen was surprised and asked, "Ah? This counts as beating the people, right? What happened next?"

Manager He sighed, "Alas, the two families went straight to His Majesty. His Majesty was very angry and severely reprimanded the prince for not disciplining his children properly and letting his legitimate son beat up the common people in the street, and fined him half a year's salary. The prince could only suffer in silence because if he retaliated against the Mu family at this time, His Majesty would think that the prince was not convinced by his ruling, was narrow-minded, and did not correct his mistakes. So the prince has been forbearing until now and has not vented his anger. Duke Yunsheng got the advantage and became even more fearless. Relying on the fact that they are the Queen's family, Zhaixinglou went even further and directly copied the patterns of our jewelry. As soon as they came out, they sent people to see it and went back to imitate it, and the price was still 10% lower."

After saying that, Steward He's face wrinkled into a ball, and he sighed bitterly, "Second Miss Shen, I wonder if you remember that there are usually no empty rooms on the second floor. Sometimes, young ladies from different mansions arrive at the same time, and the accompanying servants will fight to compete for a private room. I have to mediate the fights every now and then, and I am very busy, but I am happy. Look at it now, there are other people on the second floor besides you. And the third floor, because business has been bad, it is now closed to customers."

Shen Shenshen looked around after hearing what he said. Indeed, except for her, the entire second floor was empty, without a single person in sight, which gave people an inexplicable sense of desolation. She looked around and when she turned back, she met the eyes of Manager He.

Alas~the two of them couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

Seeing that her young lady and Steward He had no intention of continuing the conversation, Zhen Ying stepped forward and said, "Young lady, it's time for lunch. Do you want to go home now?"

As expected, once you are busy, you forget about being hungry. After Zhenying reminded Shen Shenshen, she immediately felt a surge of hunger. She is still in the stage of being a big eater, and she feels that she is a little bit hypoglycemic due to hunger. She glanced at the table and saw the exquisite snacks exclusive to Heyinlou: plum cakes and pineapple cakes.

As she reached out to take it, she said to Manager He, "Manager He, please make another pot of hot tea." After that, she took a piece of peach blossom cake and stuffed it into her mouth. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she gobbled it down.

Before Steward He could give any instructions, the maid standing outside the door came in with a pot of hot tea, bowed and said, "Second Miss Shen, when the prince left, he told me to prepare your favorite Lan Guiren hot tea and wait outside the door." After that, she walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Shen Shen, put down the pot, turned around and bowed again, "Second Miss Shen, call me anytime if you have any instructions."

When Shen Shen heard that it was Concubine Lan, he picked up the teacup and took a few sips: Sure enough, the Concubine Lan of Heyinlou has a strong aroma, absolutely good tea. At the same time, the temperature of the tea is just right, and when mixed with the peach blossom pastry, it leaves a lingering fragrance. This tea does not have the faint strange smell of Concubine Lan at home, which now proves that there is indeed something wrong with the tea in the mansion.

She sipped her tea slowly, thinking: Zhu Yanxiao is really thorough in everything he does, and he is a very meticulous person, as can be seen from the details. Today's conversation was also clear-minded and sharp-eyed, so he should be quite reliable. Hmm! It is necessary to have a good chat with him about how to make money the day after tomorrow.

After eating two peach blossom cakes, Shen Shenshen was very restrained and did not eat any other snacks. He also drank two cups of hot tea.

Manager He looked at Shen Shen with a somewhat strange and inquiring look, feeling quite surprised. Today, Miss Shen's thoughts were clear, and the amount of snacks she used was also very different from her previous habits.

The snack filled her stomach and relieved her hypoglycemia. She exhaled comfortably and stood up to say goodbye: "Manager He, it's almost time for lunch. I'll go home first. Thank you for your hospitality today. I will definitely tell Ziyuan that you are very good. Zhenying, remember to take the comb that the prince gave me today."

Manager He smiled like a flower. Everyone likes to hear good words, especially affirmation from the master, and servants like it even more. He then said, "Miss Shen, please stay. The prince has instructed that if you stay until lunch time today, I will go to Zuiyuexuan next door to order two tables of food to entertain Miss Shen and her group. The maid has already gone to order it. Miss Shen can go directly to eat."
