Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Lord Mu Yun looked at his wife, waiting for her to tell him the reason for interrupting him.

Madam Mu stood up and bowed, saying, "Please listen to what I have to say, Duke."

"Ma'am, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down and talk."

After Madam Mu sat down, she looked at Mu Yejun first, then at Mu Yungong and said, "It is a big deal for any son of the Duke's Mansion to marry a wife, and it cannot be sloppy. The rumors about the second Miss Shen of the Marquis' Mansion are really terrible in the capital, but after Huaibi went to meet her today, she felt that it was quite different from the rumors. The Duke and I have never met the second Miss Shen. Huaibi suggested that it is almost the end of autumn, and there will be many banquets in various mansions. There will always be a chance to meet the second Miss Shen, and then learn a little about it. It is safer to get engaged. If the Marquis' Mansion mentions it, the Duke will not be able to find fault with it if he tells it truthfully. At the same time, let the Marquis and his wife meet Huaibi, and I believe they should be willing."

Lord Mu Yun pondered for a moment and felt that his wife's suggestion was good. As long as the marriage was settled, the follow-up matters would be quick. Besides, his wife had always had the final say on matters in the inner house, so he nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. Let's do it this way."

Although Mu Wenjing had a tense face, he spoke to his brother in a calm tone, "I didn't expect that Huai Bi would also change his mind. This makes me a little curious about the rumored stupid Second Miss Shen."

Mu Yejun looked at his elder brother with a smile and said, "Brother Kan Hua will know when he sees her. She is an interesting woman." But he suddenly remembered something in his heart and began to think: Will Zhu Yanxiao go to the Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage first? Wouldn't that be fulfilling his wish? It seems that he should let his father propose marriage as soon as possible and never fulfill his wish.

Mu Chuchu lowered her head and said nothing, but she was very shocked in her heart: "Second brother is not really going to marry that fool, right? He doesn't like any noble lady, so how could he like the second Miss Shen? He must find a way to ruin this marriage. I don't want to become a laughing stock in the capital."

I wonder if our Miss Mu would be upset if she knew that the Prince Zhu, whom she has been thinking about, also likes Shen Shenshen.

At 3 p.m., a luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Zhong's mansion. The people who got out of the carriage were Zhu Yanxiao and Zhu Zhixi.

Zhu Yanxiao had already told his sister in the carriage: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Just tell your mother that you met the God, and don't mention Zhixi to me. Also, don't mention Mu Yejun." Zhu Zhixi immediately responded obediently. How could she betray her handkerchief friend? She still wanted to gossip about her brother, no, continue to help her brother deal with his sister-in-law.

The two entered the palace gate, and the prince said, "I'm going to look for my father." Zhu Zhixi immediately bowed and said goodbye. She was very satisfied with eating melon today, and led the maid Yuyan back to her own courtyard.

Arriving at the study of Prince Zhong Zhu Haoyu, Rong Ning was still guarding the door. When he saw Zhu Yanxiao approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Prince."

Zhu Yanxiao's voice was cold and magnetic: "Father, are you free?"

"There is no one else in the study. Please wait for a moment, and then I will go down to report to the prince." Seeing Zhu Yanxiao nodded, Rong Ning turned and went into the study.

Soon, Rong Ning came out and said to him, "My Lord, the prince invites you in."

Nodding to his father's personal guard, Zhu Yanxiao instructed Xingyun: "Wait at the door, I'll call you later, then bring the box in."

Xingyun held the wooden box that the prince had given him at Zuiyue Tower and nodded: "Yes."

Today the sun is shining brightly, shining through the wood-carved windows of the study room onto the walls, floor, and desk. The room is lit with the finest ebony incense, which is wafting and wafting, and paired with the fine and colorful sunlight, it brings an indescribable warmth and tranquility.

"Father." Zhu Yanxiao saluted.

Prince Zhong was still sitting behind the desk, lazily flipping through unimportant official documents. Ever since his brother had successfully inherited the throne, Dongxiang had always been blessed with good weather and peace, with only occasional floods or snowstorms. The other three countries bordering Dongxiang were law-abiding, and man-made disasters caused occasional friction along the border, but the border guards quickly repelled the harassing foreign enemies.

The country was stable and the court officials had excess energy, so they focused their energy on party struggles. They quarreled over trivial matters in the morning court every day and played tricks on each other in private. Your Majesty was happy to see this. It was quite interesting to watch the officials quarreling and bickering with each other every day and listen to their reports after court.

Prince Zhong looked up at his eldest son and smiled, "Ziyuan, you are here. Please sit down. What can I do for you?"

Zhu Yanxiao sat down in the precious red sandalwood carved armchair next to the large desk and said respectfully to his father, "Father, I came here today to ask for a favor."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Prince Zhong became interested. The eldest son never cared about anything, so he basically made no requests to his father.

"Today, I and Zhixi went to meet the second young lady of the Shen family in the Marquis' Mansion to discuss the future management of Heyin Building with her."

The prince looked at his eldest son with a puzzled look on his face: "Second Miss Shen? The second daughter of Shen Qingming? An unmarried girl actually knows how to run a shop?"

Zhu Yanxiao stood up and said, "Father, wait a moment." He raised his voice a little at the door of the study: "Xingyun." Hearing the prince calling him, Xingyun immediately carried the small wooden box into the study, first bowed to Prince Zhong, and then opened the box. Zhu Yanxiao took out dozens of pages of paper from the box and said to Xingyun, "Wait at the door." Xingyun closed the box, bowed and retreated to the door of the study.

The prince took a few steps forward, walked to the large desk, and unfolded the paper to the prince: "Father, please look, these are all given to me by Miss Shen Er."

The prince first saw the font on the paper and frowned: "Slender Gold Font?"

"Father, don't worry about the font. I will explain it to you later. I will first explain the contents of the paper. This stack of paper is called Business Plan by Second Miss Shen."

“Business plan?”

"Father, because the revenue of the Royal Palace's Heyin Building is poor, Miss Shen has come up with many solutions. She has listed in detail how much money our Royal Palace will have to invest, where the money will be used, the price of our jewelry after reopening, how much profit we can make, and the possible risks and losses we may incur if we make changes according to this plan."

Prince Zhong was a little slow to react. When he was young and a crown prince, he had never analyzed the operating conditions of any of the palace's businesses in such detail. He looked at his eldest son questioningly: "These... were all thought up by Second Miss Shen?"

"Yes, Father, it was Second Miss Shen's idea."

"I never knew that Shen Qingming had such a precious daughter." The prince sighed.

"Father, may I allow you to explain it in detail?"

Prince Zhong Zhu Haoyu looked at the papers on the table with interest, and said without raising his head: "Yes."

Zhu Yanxiao pointed at the contents on the paper and began to tell his father the story page by page.

In the following hour, the maid came in twice to add tea, and a concubine in the mansion came to the prince to give him some homemade snacks, but was turned away by Rong Ning according to Prince Zhong's orders.
