Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money

Lin Yuxi smelled it and her eyes started to turn red. Her nose also felt itchy and she wanted to sneeze, so she covered it tightly with a handkerchief. After taking a breath, her eyes became even redder.

Lin Yuxi raised her eyelids and glanced at Cuiping, who smiled at her with red eyes.

That was what Luyun gave her when she was going out. She said it was pepper water. She didn't know what it was used for at first, but she didn't expect to actually use it.

Lin Yuxi was filled with admiration, gave her a grateful look and walked towards her.

The old lady was sitting in the main seat. When she saw Lin Yuxi coming, she pulled her over and hugged her, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time. Lin Yuxi looked at Shopkeeper Xu, while Aunt Zhou asked with sobs:

"What happened? How could the master fall off the cliff? Weren't you with the master? Before you left, you promised Madam that you would take good care of the master."

Shopkeeper Xu also looked sad, and immediately knelt down, choking with sobs, saying:

"I deserve to die for not taking good care of the master. There was a thunderstorm in Lingzhou yesterday, and the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk on. But this is the only mountain road to Lingzhou. The master thought that today would be sunny, and if he walked slowly, nothing would happen. But the mountain wall suddenly collapsed, and the carriage was washed off the cliff. The servant was spared because he was a step behind the master. I feel guilty for the wife's instructions and the old lady, oo..."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Xu burst into tears, and the others cried even louder as they heard him.

The old lady wiped her tears and took a deep breath.

"Get up, this is not your fault, it's all natural and man-made disasters, good and bad luck every day, it's all God's will."

Liu on the other end disagreed, and her voice became hoarse after howling for a long time:

"What God's will? It's this damned servant who didn't take good care of the master. It's all your fault. You killed the master. Drag him out and beat him to death. Drag him out quickly."

Lin Yuxi frowned. This Liu never thought before doing anything. The old lady was protecting the Lin family's business.

Shopkeeper Xu has been with Master Lin for more than ten years. When Old Master Lin was still alive, he also asked him to help. If he didn't have any skills, how could he have been with two generations of family heads?

It is unknown whether Mr. Lin is dead or alive now, but the business cannot be disrupted. Manager Xu is most familiar with the Lin family's business. Protecting him is protecting the entire Lin family.

This Liu is so good, she wants to beat people to death as soon as she opens her mouth. Does she think she has the ability to manage this business?

Shopkeeper Xu was also shocked when he heard this, but he showed no unkindness or dissatisfaction. Lin Yuxi carefully observed his expression.

He should be an honest person, and I can't help but feel relieved. After all, he is not an ungrateful person who would not have any ill intentions just because something happened to the head of the family.

The old lady also glared at Liu in dissatisfaction. What a fool! She was also from a merchant family, so why couldn't she figure it out? She scolded:

"Don't you think this house is messy enough?"

Liu had never seen the old lady scold anyone so loudly. She was stunned but did not refute anything.

He just lowered his head and sobbed.

The old lady asked Manager Xu to go down and have a good rest first. As the road to Lingzhou was blocked, he could not go there for the time being, so he had to stay in Yingshan City to manage the head office.

He reminded that the matter of Mr. Lin falling off the cliff must not be leaked to anyone for the time being.

The business world is changing rapidly, and competitors are like enemies. The Lin family's incense has always been the best.

When Master Lin was alive, there was no shortage of people who attacked him from the same profession. If word got out that something had happened to Master Lin, it would be chaos.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but look at the old lady in a different light. She didn't expect that the old lady's business skills were so great. Compared with Liu, it was obvious that Liu's brain was full of confusion.

There were people in the room, some were happy and some were sad. The happy one was Lin Yuhe. Her father had died, and Lin Yuxi had been in mourning for three years.

It was still unknown how the marriage would go after three years. Without her father, the most important person in the family was her mother. Lin Yuhe was secretly happy in her heart. Lin Yuxi, ah Lin Yuxi, what can you compare with me?

The one who was worried was Aunt Zhou. She was Lin Yu's biological mother, so naturally she wanted to find a good future for Lin Yu.

Lin Yu is the only son, and the master treats him very tenderly, but how could she not know what kind of person Liu is? When the master was around, Liu didn't dare to do it openly, and now that the master is gone, no one knows how she will deal with Yu'er.

That night, few people could sleep, as everyone had their own worries.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours; when the ship is late, it encounters headwinds. The horizontal couplet says: Misfortunes never come singly.

Five days passed, and the rescue team still hadn't received any news about Master Lin. The Lin family was filled with grief, and the old lady sighed all day long. Yu Xin could only comfort her:

"Grandma, please don't whine and feel sorry for yourself. No news is good news."

The old lady patted her hands, her face moved, and nodded in response:

"You're right. No news is good news. As long as the body is not found, we can't conclude that he has had an accident."

Lin Yuxi was talking to the old lady when a noise came from outside.

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but frown and look at Luyun. Luyun understood and walked out, but soon came back with a panicked look on her face.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yuxi asked.

"A lot of people came to the mansion and blocked the front door. They said...they said that the incense we made was adulterated and they wanted to return it."

"Adulterated?"

Lin Yuxi widened her eyes.

Even if the goods were fake, they should have gone to the store. Why were they all blocking the entrance to Lin's house?

The old lady couldn't help but frown, and she stood up and walked out. Liu was also in the front hall, asking Manager Xu what was going on.

"I don't know how the adulteration came about, nor do I know who spread the news that the master was in trouble. When I was collecting the debts these days, the partners kept making excuses that they didn't have enough money."

Shopkeeper Xu also frowned. He had been treated with a lot of cold stares in the past two days, and there were some unpleasant words he didn't dare to say.

When Lin Yuxi and I came in, we just happened to hear him say this. How could he, a shopkeeper, not know about the adulteration?

Even if you don't know, you should know how to check it.

Liu snorted coldly:

"Could it be that they heard about the master's news and wanted to take down our sign?"

Shopkeeper Xu pursed his lips and said:

"I checked the goods they brought. They mixed some ordinary sawdust into it. I also lit the incense. The smell was definitely wrong. Even the ashes from the burnt incense were not quite the same as the authentic incense ashes."

Shopkeeper Xu thought for a moment and said, "Many of those people are old customers of the shop, and they should not intentionally cause trouble. I think there is something wrong with the newly made incense. When I found out, I came to report it immediately. Please let the old lady know."

The old lady's face darkened when she heard this.

"Who is in charge of making incense?"

Shopkeeper Xu thought about it and his expression became uglier:

"It was the master. Sometimes the master was too busy and asked me to look after him. I have been staying in Lingzhou for a while. Now something has happened to the master. This matter... this matter..."

The old lady interrupted his hesitation: "Who?"

"Zhang Zhuang, the wife's companion."

Several pairs of eyes looked at Liu at the same time, and Liu's face was also pale.
