Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

Ling Ge Lao read the petition at a glance, and when he finished, he immediately knelt down and said, "I am guilty. I did not educate my children well, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Those who had been accusing Mr. Zeng of meddling in other people's affairs also stopped complaining.

The real owner has begged for mercy.

The Imperial Censor Chang Pingguang said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is the future sister-in-law of Princess Jiayang. The two of them may just be playing around, or someone may be framing them."

When everyone heard this, they all echoed, "Yes, yes..."

Jiang Zhou also nodded and said, "Yes, it's just girls playing around. Your Majesty, please understand."

Lu Jinan's half-closed black eyes suddenly burned with a sinister look.

The hands beneath the official uniform were clenched tighter and tighter, and seemed to be emitting murderous intent.

Playing at my daughter's house?

Ha ha……

"In this case, I will punish Jiayang by confining him to the Marquis' Mansion for a month and making him copy the female rules ten times. The rest will be left to Lord Ling to handle." Emperor Zhaoding made the final decision.

This punishment is not severe, and any discerning person can see that it is biased towards Lady Jiayang.

However, Lord Ling still lost a lot of face.

After the court session, Jiang Zhou quickly caught up with Elder Ling, cupped his hands, and said, "Elder Ling, calm down. When I return home, I will definitely punish that rebellious girl."

After hearing what was said, people who knew the situation would definitely think that it was Jiang Luo who hired the murderer!

Elder Ling glanced at him with contempt, did not reply, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

But in his heart he thought: It seems that this marriage is really going to be cancelled.

Jiang Zhou felt a little embarrassed and walked out of the palace.

As he sat in the carriage on his way back home, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

When he finally arrived at the gate, he learned that Jiang Luo had left the house, so he simply waited at the gate...

Jiang Luo, who had disrupted the court affairs, was now dealing with matters in the shop.

As soon as she left the house, she instructed her maid to go to the residences of Manager Gao and Manager Chu and invite them to take over the shop together.

The three met at Wu’s grain shop.

The manager of the shop was sitting there yawning out of boredom.

When Jiang Luo and his group entered, a servant came over with a smile and said, "Sir, what would you like to buy? Our Wu's grain shop has the most reasonable prices."

The few people did not answer, but walked straight to the innermost room, opened the door and walked in.

The servant stopped them with a puzzled look on his face, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you barging in? This is a room that only our boss can enter."

His shouting woke up the sleeping steward.

The steward immediately stood up and walked over to the few people. He looked at them carefully.

Finally, his gaze stopped on Jiang Luo, who was surrounded by everyone.

He asked with a haughty look on his face, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Wu's grain store?"

The senior manager stepped forward and said, "We are..."

"I don't care who you are. Get out of here if you know what's best for you. Our boss is the wife of the Duke. If you anger her, you will be in big trouble!" He interrupted the senior manager with contempt.

Jiang Luo glanced at Mingxu.

Mingxu took the shop's title deed in his hand, stepped forward, and said sternly, "Look carefully, this is the shop's title deed. The owner of this shop has always been my daughter, so where did this new owner come from?"

The manager looked at the deed and was also confused.

Ever since he started working in this shop, he always believed that the Duchess's wife was the boss, and all the daily matters were given by the people around the Duchess's wife.

How come there is another boss now?

"This, this, this..." He stammered, no longer having the arrogance he had just had.

"Go, close the shop first and gather everyone to the backyard." Mingxu ordered.

When the shop was originally bought, it was organized by people sent by the Wu family from Guangling.

This grain shop is similar to a house with one entrance.

The shop at the front was used to sell grain. At the deepest part of the shop there was a corridor that could accommodate two people and led to the yard at the back.

The yard was not big, with two small warehouses on both sides for storing grain, and a main room in the middle, where the manager lived.

There are two side rooms on both sides, one is used as a kitchen and the other is the servant's residence.

Mingxu and Wangyou moved an armchair from the main room and placed it in the middle of the yard.

Jiang Luo sat there and looked at the people in front of him.

Manager Gao and Manager Chu stood on each side.

"Manager, go check the accounts." Jiang Luo ordered.

If Qin had not been tripped up by Jiang Huai, she would have lost Cao Mama's confidant.

It was too late for her to come to the shop now.

"Yes, miss." The senior manager took the account book from the manager of the previous shop and started looking through it.

After a stick of incense, the senior manager bowed and said, "Miss, the account book is the same."

Jiang Luo nodded, but sneered in his heart.

Qin was really confident and didn't even falsify the account books.

Maybe she never thought that there would be a day when she would return to the shop?

Or maybe she never thought that she could get the shop back.

"Now I have officially taken over the shop, and I have brought the manager here. If you want to work here, you can continue, and the salary will remain the same. If you want to leave, I will give each of you thirty taels of severance pay." Jiang Luo said lightly.

She will no longer use the original manager, no matter how capable he is.

When the manager heard this, he thought, isn't this just chasing people away?

Since the master has brought his own steward, why is he still staying here?

"Thank you, Miss. I have an urgent matter at home and cannot continue working here." The manager replied helplessly.

That's quite sensible.

"In that case, Mingxu, give the steward fifty taels of silver. The other twenty taels will be considered as my help with the steward's family emergency." Jiang Luo ordered.

Upon hearing this, the steward kowtowed and said, "Thank you very much, young lady."

Fifty taels of silver was his annual salary.

The remaining servants stayed.

Jiang Luo didn't care, as long as the person in charge was hers.

If these people are honest and willing to work in the future, they will continue to be employed. If they are cunning and treacherous, it will be the responsibility of the senior management.

As a boss, all you need to do is make good use of your people.

The two grain shops were taken over by Manager Gao, and the remaining jewelry shop, clothing shop, antique shop, writing shop and study were all handed over to Manager Chu.

Wait until the manager sent by my uncle from Guangling arrives and then we will make new assignments.

As for the hot spring villa and thousands of acres of fertile land on the outskirts of the city, they were first handed over to senior management.

When she has time in the future, she will go and take a look.

After visiting all the shops, Jiang Luo returned to Wu’s Grain Shop.

Mingxu and Wangyou were guarding the door.

She and the senior manager went into the shop's wing.

"I have one more thing to ask the senior manager to do." Jiang Luo looked directly at the senior manager, with a steadiness in her eyes that did not belong to her age.

She looks cold and bleak when she's not smiling, and now she looks serious, which makes her look even more mature and dignified.

The senior manager was puzzled as to why he felt that the young lady was a little too old.

He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and replied: "Please give your instructions, young lady."

"Take over these two shops, the hot spring villa and the fertile farmland as soon as possible and dispose of them properly, then start buying grain." Jiang Luo said cautiously.

"Buy grain? Miss, there seems to be no sign of grain prices going up?" the senior manager asked in confusion.
