Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Ziwei Pavilion

Murong Zixi was lazily lying on the couch, the sunlight shining through the window onto her, reflecting a golden glow. She squinted her eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of peace and comfort. However, at this moment, Nanny Li walked in, breaking the peace.

Nanny Li looked at the young lady in front of her. She stepped forward and said softly, "Young lady, there are some things I think I should tell you."

Murong Zixi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Nanny Li with a smile, and motioned her to continue.

Nanny Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "Miss, do you know? The shops that Madam brought as a dowry are all in the best locations in the capital, and their annual profits are very considerable. However, Madam and the old lady have always told you that these shops are losing money all year round." At this point, Nanny Li's tone revealed a hint of anxiety.

After hearing this, Murong Zixi frowned slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. She sat up and asked softly, "So, what about the store deeds? Have I given them away before?"

Xiao Cui stood aside, and her face suddenly became a little unnatural when she heard this. She lowered her head and answered hesitantly: "Miss, you insisted on giving the house deed to Miss Two. Fortunately, Nanny Li was very smart. She said that she would give the house deed to the Loyalty Marquis Mansion for safekeeping. Otherwise..."

When Nanny Li heard that Murong Zixi was going to look at the shops, she sighed heavily and said helplessly, "My dear, although the title deeds are still with me, the shops have always been managed by the people of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion. You listened to the words of the Second Miss and drove those people away. Now, these shops have been taken over by the Madam and the Old Madam's people."

Murong Zixi's lips curled up slightly, and a sly smile flashed in her eyes. "That's good, fortunately I have you guys." Otherwise, the original owner was stupid and would have been fooled by them a long time ago.

Matron Li pondered for a moment, then replied, "My lady, this is what I should do. I think we should check the accounts of those shops first to understand the actual situation. If it is true as Madam said, the shops have been losing money, then we should find a way to solve this problem. But if this is not the case, it means that they deliberately deceived you, and you should take back the shops as soon as possible and replace the people who run the shops."

Murong Zixi nodded, indicating that she agreed with Nanny Li's opinion.

Murong Zixi slowly sat up and brushed her sleeves, her movements were graceful and calm. A sharp light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She said lightly: "In that case, let's go and take a look." After that, she stood up and prepared to go out.

"Wait, Miss, I'll go get the house deed first." After saying that, Nanny Li walked out quickly.

After a while, Nanny Li came back with the deeds of several shops in the capital.

She handed the deed to Murong Zixi, who took it, looked at it, flipped through it carefully, and then carefully put it in her arms. After doing all this, she took Li Ma and Xiao Cui out the door.

At this time, Xiaolu happened to return to Ziwei Pavilion and saw Murong Zixi and others in the yard, so she asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

Murong Zixi glanced at Xiaolu, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, smiled and said: "Are you back from watching the fun?"

Xiaolu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and chuckled, "I was standing quite far away, so I couldn't hear it clearly."

Murong Zixi didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, then turned to Li Ma, Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu and said, "Let's go."

Xiaolu looked at Xiaocui, and Xiaocui whispered: "The eldest lady wants to see the shop left by the madam."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolu's eyes lit up and said, "Miss you should have gone to check it out earlier. I told you before that they were deceiving you, but you didn't believe it."

Xiao Cui glared at Xiao Lu. At that time, the eldest daughter was in a daze and was deceived by the second daughter and the others. Of course, she didn't believe what they said.

Xiaolu covered her mouth and stopped muttering.

A group of people came out of the gate, and the guards at the gate did not stop them.

The master and his servants strolled leisurely on the busy street. Nanny Li suddenly pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Miss, Moxiangxuan is not far away over there. It is the Madam's dowry study!"

Murong Zixi looked in the direction of her finger and saw an exquisite study room. In front of the door hung an ancient plaque with three large characters "Moxiangxuan" engraved on it.

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Murong Zixi nodded slightly, motioning everyone to go together.

As they got closer, they could see that there were some well-mannered and elegant scholars coming in and out of the study.

There were also some servants from wealthy and powerful families who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had arrogant looks, buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone for their masters.

There is no doubt that this study's business is very prosperous and customers are coming in an endless stream.

Murong Zixi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help feeling angry.

She remembered what the old lady and others had said to the original owner, claiming that the shop left by her mother had been losing money and could not make any profit at all.

In fact, these hateful guys cheated a lot of money from the original owner. They enjoyed the original owner's wealth while bullying her. Thinking of this, Murong Zixi felt extremely indignant.

She suppressed her anger and walked into the study. As soon as she entered the door, a warm waiter came up to her and asked with a smile: "Miss, what do you want to buy? We have all kinds of pens, inkstones, and exquisite sketchbooks!"

Murong Zixi ignored the waiter and wandered around the store. Seeing this, the waiter didn't say anything more, after all, he didn't know Murong Zixi's identity. When he saw a new customer entering the store, he immediately went over to greet them warmly.

Xiao Cui on the side whispered to Murong Zixi: "Miss, it looks like this shop is doing pretty good business!"

Murong Zixi just responded softly to show her agreement. Then, she slowly walked to the counter, stared at the shopkeeper with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Bring me the account book."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Murong Zixi in confusion. He wondered who this strange woman was and how dare she ask to see the account book so boldly.

The shopkeeper responded in a bad tone: "Miss, who are you? Do you know that this is the general's shop? How can others read the account books?"
