After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Let's wait until the children grow up before deciding on their marriage. What if your little princess doesn't like my little tiger in the future?"

Shen Yunjin would not arrange a marriage for her child. What if the child bullied others in the future?

Another thing, what if Zhaozhao’s baby is a boy?

Should I keep having children until I give birth to a daughter?

"It will be at most a year. Besides, as long as our store is open, it will always make money."

"You just can't participate in person. Didn't I ask you to train a capable steward? Now, it's time to test the steward."

Shen Yunjin comforted Wang Zhaozhao, "Look at all the noble ladies in the capital, how many of them manage themselves? It's the stewards who are running the show."

"We are like a boat. We just need to focus on the direction we are heading and leave the rest to the boatman. The boat will move forward smoothly."

Now the shops in Prince Qi's Mansion are all managed by the steward.

Shen Yunjin only asked Jinzhi to check the accounts once a month and take a look at the situation in the store.

Then at the end of every month, the person in charge has to come over to submit the accounts and set goals for the next month.

Her only responsibility every day is to play with the little tiger and help him grow up.

Wang Zhaozhao went back thoughtfully. She wanted to make some arrangements when she got back.

In the evening, when Xiao Minshen came back, there was a smile on his face.

Shen Yunjin looked at him several times, "Is there any good news, my lord?"

Xiao Minshen picked up the teacup and said, "Guess, there's a reward for guessing it!"

"The prince got promoted?" Shen Yunjin asked tentatively.

Xiao Minshen shook his head.

"So, the Emperor praised the prince?"

Xiao Minshen still shook his head, "This has something to do with you."

Now, Shen Yunjin couldn’t guess it.

"Your Highness, please tell me quickly. I can't guess." She moved closer to Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen found that Shen Yunjin was very similar to a little tiger. When he wanted something, he would look at you with blinking eyes.

He reached out and tapped Shen Yunjin on the forehead, "Do you remember the things you asked the people in the mansion to undertake before?"

Shen Yunjin nodded and said, of course I remember.

Ever since the contract was proposed, people in the mansion have become very enthusiastic.

Now the expenses of the mansion can basically be self-sufficient.

Moreover, as a master, there is no need to supervise the servants to see if they are working seriously, because everyone is busy.

But, what could be here that would make the prince so happy?

"Didn't the king have a horse ranch built at the Hot Spring Villa?"

"Because we couldn't find a suitable groom at the time, we transferred the groom from the mansion over to help take care of the business for a while."

"The groom was particularly obsessed with making money from foals at that time, so he developed a breeding method."

"It just so happened that when the horse ranch opened, Fourth Brother invited Princess Gao Li to go with him."

"Then, the groom used the method on Princess Gaoli's horse, and now the horse at the stable is pregnant."

Ah? Is there such an operation? Shen Yunjin was stunned.

"That's a rare Arabian horse on the grassland!" Xiao Minshen couldn't help but smile.

This is really a happy thing!

"Then I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!" Shen Yunjin was also happy for Xiao Minshen.

"By the way, the wedding of Princess Gao Li and my second brother has been scheduled for the day after tomorrow by the Imperial Observatory."

The marriage between Princess Gao Li and the second prince was delayed again and again.

First, Princess Gao Li said that she wanted her family members to send her off when she got married. Later, she said that her family members were sick due to the unfamiliar climate there.

Then, he said that their custom was to fast for a month.

"It's been dragging on for long enough." Shen Yunjin sighed.

"We can't delay any longer. Father Huang Zhao had a secret talk with his brother for an hour, and then asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate the nearest date."

"Then what gifts do we need to prepare?" Shen Yunjin began to think about what he could take out from the warehouse.

"Just prepare a few items according to the rules, and make sure no one finds fault with them."

"When the time comes, you don't have to go. I'll just drink two glasses of water and come back."

Xiao Minshen has never had a good relationship with the second prince. Besides, this wedding banquet may not be a happy event, and he doesn't want Shen Yunjin to take risks.

"Okay." Shen Yunjin responded obediently.

In the blink of an eye, it was Princess Gaoli's wedding day.

Xiao Minshen set out early in the morning, but he said he would only come back after drinking two glasses of wedding wine, but he didn't return home until very late at night.

The next morning, when Shen Yunjin got up, he found out that Xiao Minshen had gone out very early.

For several consecutive days, Xiao Minshen started to go out early and come back late.

Shen Yunjin also smelled a hint of something unusual.

Shen Yunjin suddenly remembered something that happened in his previous life.

One night, a big fire broke out in the capital, and several adjacent houses of noble families were burned down.

At that time, the fire was raging and illuminated half of the capital city red.

The cause of the fire was said to be dry weather, which caused trees to spontaneously combust.

As far as I can remember, the area where the fire broke out was the Prince Qi's Mansion.

Later, the capital was obviously under much tighter martial law, and people had to be shown a pass before being allowed in and out of the city.

"Jinzhi, ask the people in the mansion to select some young and capable men to take turns to be on duty at night."

"Please buy a few more large vats in the mansion and fill them with water in every corner."

"Yang Liu, you are fast, go to the Shen Mansion to meet my father, and then go to Wang Zhaozhao's place and ask them to pay attention to safety recently, close the house after dark, and also ask them to prepare enough water."

"Also, all shops in the mansion, except for the daily reserve funds, should deposit all other funds in the bank."

Because he was not sure whether there would be any changes in this life, Shen Yunjin still wanted to prepare in advance.

Because once a fire causes panic, many scoundrels will come out to take advantage of the chaos.

In the previous life, Shen Yunjin's shop suffered a disaster.

All the money earned by the store that day was stolen by the thief.

Seeing Shen Yunjin's serious expression, the maid Jinzhi hurried to arrange matters in the mansion.

"Hongliu, come here." Shen Yunjin took Hongliu to open the warehouse.

"Pack up your valuable and easy-to-carry things and come with me."

Shen Yunjin first wrapped the account books and the silver bills handed over by the shopkeepers in a square of cloth.

Hongliu also packed some valuable gold and silver jewelry, a whole big bag.

Shen Yunjin brought Hongliu to the bedroom. She lifted the footstool in front of the bed, revealing a step.

Hongliu couldn't help but open her mouth wide, then she walked to the side and lit a candle.

Shen Yunjin nodded secretly.

It was Xiao Minshen who told her about this tunnel.

Every wealthy family has its own dark room.

However, she did not expect that the secret room in Prince Qi's mansion was actually under the bed.

Hongliu raised the candle and walked in carefully.
