Chapter 361 Cao Siwen and the other two return to Beijing

Cao Siwen, Ren Lijiu, Hao Jiayu, Teng Kaifeng and Le Qizhen discussed it together and immediately divided the work. Cao Siwen, Ren Lijiu and Hao Jiayu escorted the return gift from Old Lady Zhao to Zhao Chunhua back to Kyoto.

Teng Kaifeng and Le Qizhen stayed in Huzhou to decorate the shop and recruit people so that they could open the business as soon as possible.

When Cao Siwen and the other two rushed back to the capital, they heard people talking about Xu Jiaojiao's plot against Su Qingzhu and other things along the way...

Only then did Cao Siwen and the other two realize that in just a few months, the Su family almost had a concubine, which made the lady very upset.

If Xu Jiaojiao really succeeds, who knows if there will be other people who will plot against Su Qingzhu in the future and replace Zhao Chunhua as the mistress of the Su family?

As Cao Siwen and the other two were born and raised in Beijing, they knew too well the possibility of this happening. It was 100% certain.

Fortunately, the master's counterattack was quick, fierce and direct enough.

This round of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is enough to make those people calm down temporarily.

However, Cao Siwen, Ren Lijiu, and Hao Jiayu did not dare to delay any longer and rushed directly back to the Su Mansion and asked the doorman to inform them in a high-profile manner.

what?

The concierge looked at Cao Siwen and the other two in bewilderment. He couldn't help but pick his ears and subconsciously asked back:

"Where is the shopkeeper from? Huzhou?"

"Yes, Huzhou. Please inform Madam that I have brought back a letter from the Madam of the Su family in Huzhou."

This time, the doorman didn't dare to delay any longer, as his master seemed to have returned from Huzhou not long ago.

Just now, the doorman heard clearly that Cao Siwen said "bring back" instead of "bring".

In other words, the three people in front of me are also my wife’s people.

As for when he opened a shop in Huzhou, it was not something a mere doorman like him could ask about.

Immediately, the doorman turned around and went into the mansion to report to Zhao Chunhua without any hesitation, without delaying for a moment.

This doorman is naturally Zhao Chunhua's man.

To be precise, all the servants in the Su Mansion have been repeatedly screened by Zhao Chunhua, and are all Zhao Chunhua's people.

Of course, Zhao Chunhua could not guarantee whether these people would be bribed in the future and betray her and the Su family.

After all, people's minds are fickle.

If even the person next to her can betray her, why can she naively think that everyone will be loyal to her?

It’s just that in daily management, we try our best to distinguish between rewards and punishments, and to use both kindness and severity.

Zhao Chunhua is no longer the same person she used to be.

When Zhao Chunhua heard the maid in the inner courtyard report that someone from the Su family in Huzhou had arrived, she immediately knew that Cao Siwen and his companions had returned, and she directly asked someone to take Manager Cao and his companions to the reception room in the front yard.

Zhao Chunhua also immediately stood up and went to the reception room.

Zhao Chunhua was excited and nervous. She didn't know how Old Lady Zhao was doing now, and she was worried about what Old Lady Zhao's attitude towards her was.

However, Zhao Chunhua's training during this period was not a vegetarian one.

Zhao Chunhua not only managed her facial expressions very well, making sure she didn't show her emotions, but she also kept her pace steady as she walked to the front yard living room at a leisurely pace. Each step seemed to have been measured with a ruler, and was very standard.

"I've met the master!"

Cao Siwen, Ren Lijiu and Hao Jiayu all clasped their fists and bowed in salute.

"You have worked hard. Sit down and have a cup of tea and have a good rest. Seeing how exhausted you all are, I'm afraid you will rush back home as soon as you arrive in Beijing."

Even though she was anxious to know what happened when Cao Siwen and the others met Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Chunhua still remembered how to control her subordinates and first asked about the health of Cao Siwen and the other two.

Cao Siwen and the other two were deeply moved for a moment.

Although their master was a woman in the inner house, and a woman who came from the countryside, she was the breadwinner and clothing provider for these people.

It was Zhao Chunhua who gave them the opportunity to transform themselves from idle hangers-on, errand runners, lazy men, and street thugs into serious jobs.

Not only can they earn clean money to support their families in a legitimate way, but they can also find a career that they are good at and love, allowing them to display their strengths.

Therefore, the five people, Cao Siwen, Ren Lijiu, Hao Jiayu, Teng Kaifeng, and Le Qizhen, who were chosen by Zhao Chunhua from the very beginning, are also the most loyal to Zhao Chunhua.

This is also the real reason why Zhao Chunhua entrusted the task of opening a branch in Huzhou and visiting Old Mrs. Zhao to Cao Siwen and four others.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. We are all fine!"

Cao Siwen and the other two immediately stood up and bowed in reply. Cao Siwen even more respectfully handed the mahogany box containing the bracelet given by Old Lady Zhao to Zhao Chunhua.

"Master, this is the bracelet that Old Lady Zhao gave to Madam."

This time, Zhao Chunhua did not wait for the maid to take the box, but took it herself and opened it on the spot.

Looking at the bracelet in the mahogany box, Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but touch it gently:

After all, my aunt still has her in her heart.

What touched Zhao Chunhua was that although Old Lady Zhao knew that her motives were not pure, she still gave her respect.

This is not a silk bracelet at all; it is Old Lady Zhao clearly supporting Zhao Chunhua.

Zhao Chunhua couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Whether in Sujia Village in Qingyun Town or Sujia Village in Huzhou, it was always her - Zhao Chunhua who was plotting against her aunt.

Zhao Chunhua didn't believe that Mrs. Zhao, who was so smart, wouldn't know about this.

However, Old Mrs. Zhao always turned a blind eye, pretending to know nothing, allowing Zhao Chunhua to cheat her out of benefits again and again.

It's true, one wants to fight and the other wants to be beaten.

Zhao Chunhua had never realized as clearly as she did now that her methods were too crude and there was no way she could deceive Old Lady Zhao.

It’s just that Old Mrs. Zhao is biased and just goes with the flow to favor the eldest wife.

Seeing Zhao Chunhua crying with excitement, Cao Siwen, Teng Kaifeng and Le Qizhen looked at each other. This was a huge matter.

Should I say it now or not?

Zhao Chunhua quickly stabilized her emotions and secretly blamed herself in her heart, thinking that she had not practiced enough and failed to control her emotions.

I quickly adjusted my mood, took a deep breath, closed my eyes tightly, and then exhaled longly.

Only then did he open his eyes and look at Cao Siwen and the other two.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Cao Siwen immediately stepped forward and reported:

"The old lady also gave Madam two thousand-year-old Jianlan plants."

Teng Kaifeng and Le Qizhen immediately handed the flowers in their hands to Zhao Chunhua.

"Millennium Jianlan?"

millennium!

hiss!

Zhao Chunhua took a deep breath.

No matter what kind of plant it is, as long as it is a thousand years old, it can become an incredible elixir.
