Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Shen Ruoyan didn't know yet that Fang Rou had boarded the old lady's boat.

Because she was out of the house.

When the wife of the Marquis left the house, it would make a lot of noise and it would be inconvenient to move around. So Shen Ruoyan left the house quietly this time.

Chunxi pretended to be her in the house, and only announced to the outside world that the lady was very tired and needed to rest. As long as the situation was not too difficult, Chunxi could handle it.

And Shen Ruoyan was accompanied by Qiu Ye.

"Madam, the shop has already been contacted. The owner is in a hurry to return home. As long as the money is in hand, the transfer can be made immediately."

A few days ago, Shen Ruoyan asked Qiu Ye to ask around to see if there were any shops for sale near Shili Street. It was a gathering place for the poor in Shengjing City, and because the rent was cheap, there were many shops open there, but none of them were large-scale.

Even this inn that was in a hurry to sell was only a small second floor. After Shen Ruoyan arrived, he looked around carefully and found that there were too many places that needed to be changed.

But it doesn't matter, all she wants is this piece of land.

When going out, Shen Ruoyan wore men's clothes and talked to shop owners through a screen.

"Please forgive me, Boss. Our young master has a special identity and cannot be exposed. However, the cash you want is not a problem."

Qiu Ye was outside, speaking for him. Shengjing City was so small, Shen Ruoyan didn't want to cause himself any extra trouble. The reason why he made this trip in person today was because the boss wanted to sell this piece of land.

She had to make sure that nothing went wrong.

We are all business people, so who doesn’t have inconveniences sometimes?

The boss understood that there were many powerful people, especially in a place like Shengjing City. There were also a lot of people who didn't want to reveal their identities outside.

"It's okay, sir. I have no intention of asking about your identity. There is an urgent matter in my hometown this time. Once I go back, I will never enter Shengjing again. You can rest assured." It was difficult to tell whether his words were true or false, but Shen Ruoyan was not worried.

Something had indeed happened to the boss's family, and he was in urgent need of money. Although the rent of this Shili Street was not worth much, he had opened his own shop, and the cost would not be that much, so it was a good place for him.

His inn's business isn't very prosperous, but he still makes a profit every year because tourists from other places come here because of the low prices.

If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he really wouldn't want to sell the land.

Shen Ruoyan winked at Qiu Ye, and the next second, the boss saw a maid walking over with a small box.

"One hand pays the other hand transfers the property, Boss Wang, please click on it."

Boss Wang was anxious to sell the land and contacted many people. Some people were interested in the land, but when they heard that he only wanted cash and had to pay it off immediately, they backed off.

It's normal for others to be suspicious since he is so anxious.

But Boss Wang really couldn’t wait any longer, because his hometown was waiting for him!

He was indeed curious about Shen Ruoyan's identity, but now, he couldn't care less. As long as the money was paid and he could leave smoothly, that would be enough!

Qiu Ye handled all the subsequent procedures. Shen Ruoyan had already arranged the relationships in advance, so it was not difficult to complete.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Boss Wang had a basic guess about Shen Ruoyan's identity - she must be rich or noble!

There were many such people in Shengjing City, but he couldn't afford to offend any of them. He was a sensible person, and after handing over everything, he packed up and left the next day without telling anyone.

"Madam, Boss Wang has left."

When Qiu Ye came back, there was a list on Shen Ruoyan's desk, which contained the names of the people who were available.

She bought the shop on Shili Street, and she needed a capable person to run it. Moreover, this shop was very special, and it was not enough to have the ability, but also to be able to adapt to circumstances. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.

"Did he cause any trouble?" Shen Ruoyan frowned, thinking in his heart.

After Boss Wang left the city, she asked Qiu Ye to send someone to follow him to prevent him from causing any unnecessary trouble. However, Qiu Ye shook her head and said, "He kept a low profile along the way. When others asked about him, he just said that he had something going on at home and did not reveal the buyer's information."

Shen Ruoyan nodded, "He is a cautious person."

In fact, it would be nice to have someone as cautious and experienced as Boss Wang. But unfortunately, Boss Wang's reason for returning to his hometown was not an excuse, and there was no way to keep him.

correct!

Isn't there still him?!

Shen Ruoyan circled a name, and her annoyance was relieved a little. She almost forgot about this person.

"Qiuye, go find Zong Sheng and tell him that this inn will be handed over to him from now on."

This person was sent by the Qin family when Shen Ruoyan married into Shengjing. He was originally there to help Shen Ruoyan manage the dowry shop. Because he was outstanding and capable, he was later asked by Old Madam Lu to manage the Shen family's shop.

It’s just that the Lu family is not tolerant. They value Zong Sheng’s abilities, but are on guard against him at every turn.

Therefore, an old butler was transferred there later to be in charge of Zong Sheng and to impose many restrictions on him.

"Before, the Lu family had many restrictions and I was unable to take care of him. Now that I am the head of the family, I can naturally reconsider for him." Shen Ruoyan's words were both a comfort and an explanation. After all, the original owner only knew how to immerse himself in love, so how could he know about these personnel arrangements?

At the beginning, she did whatever the old lady said, for fear of making the old lady unhappy and making Lu Jing uncomfortable.

Now, don't worry about any of that.

"Madam, I understand." Qiu Ye is now more clever, and can quickly handle the things arranged by Shen Ruoyan.

But she was still a little confused, "Madam, is there anything special about this inn?"

Recently, the Madam seemed to be particularly keen on business matters. Not only did she take inventory of all the shops in the mansion, she also listed some of them separately and specially assigned her own people to look after them.

But there was not a single place where the lady was allowed to go and check in person.

Not only did the lady buy this inn without telling her true identity, but she also let someone from the Qin family run it. It was obvious that she did not want to have anything to do with the Lu family.

But everyone knows that the shops on Shili Street are not worth much, so how special can they be?

Shen Ruoyan smiled faintly, "Soon, you will know."

She was the Empress Dowager before, and even ruled the country from behind the scenes when the Emperor first ascended the throne. Although she later gave up her power, it was not like she just ignored everything.

At least that dog emperor pretended to be filial on the surface, and would come to report to her whenever there were any resolutions and policies.

Therefore, she has much more information than the average person.

But now she is an ordinary person - what a blessing from God!

The place called Shili Street was mentioned by the emperor when he came to report to her after leaving the court. Although it was a place where poor people gathered, it had a large area, and the rent and land were cheap.

Land in Shengjing is extremely expensive now, and even a small shop can charge prices that would make outsiders astonish.

How can it be as economical and affordable as Shili Street?

Of course, its only disadvantage is that it is too far from the city center. This is also why it is cheap here.

But soon, this only disadvantage will become its advantage.

Looking at the land deed in hand, Shen Ruoyan smiled with satisfaction - all she had to do was wait!
