Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss
Chapter 18 Clearing the Stigma
Chu Qianyu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then looked at the people behind him.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and said, "I want eight maids and ten servants. There is only one requirement, that is, they must all know some martial arts. Do you have anyone who meets the requirements?"
"Oh! What a coincidence. These people behind me were just bought. They were staying in a martial arts gym before. Miss, you came at the right time. The martial arts gym happened to go bankrupt due to poor management. So the shopkeeper sold these servants to us. Take a look and see if there is any that suits your taste." After Leng Qingzhou said this, he moved to the side and revealed these people.
Chu Qianyu took a quick look and saw several familiar faces.
He actually spent a lot of money to bring me all the black clothes. No need to go out to earn money? Chu Qianyu thought of this and looked at Leng Qingzhou with some doubts.
Leng Qingzhou walked over to Chu Qianyu and said, "The market has not been very good recently. These people may earn more by following the young lady."
Chu Qianyu understood. Then he decided on the candidate. He said to Leng Qingzhou, "How much is the price?"
"Since you want so many people at once, we'll give you a discount. But these people are all good at fighting, so the price is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. How about this, 80 taels per person? Originally it was 100 taels."
Manager Zhao, who was standing nearby, heard this and quickly ran out and said, "Miss, this is a bit too much. The price is too high. Eighteen people will cost one thousand four hundred and forty taels. Do you want a few or just one or two who are good at martial arts? If the old lady knew that you spent so much on maids, she would probably blame you."
"I can give you a discount. One thousand four hundred taels will do. How about that? It's a good deal, right?"
Chu Qianyu looked at Manager Zhao and said, "But my father told me to make the decision. Can't we just buy a few maids and servants?"
"It's not that it's impossible, but the price is too expensive."
"Could it be that the General's Mansion can't even come up with more than a thousand taels?" Chu Qianyu asked somewhat puzzled.
"No..." Butler Zhao didn't know what to say. The eldest daughter was not favored to begin with. If the second daughter or the third daughter had spent money, it would have been fine. The old lady wouldn't have said anything if she knew. But if the eldest daughter spent so much money today, the old lady would definitely blame him for not stopping her.
Just about to continue dissuading.
Then Chu Qianyu said, "Okay, I'll take all these people. Just keep the accounts at the General's Mansion."
"Miss, you are so straightforward. In that case, please come with me and get the sales contract for these people."
"Okay." Chu Qianyu agreed and followed Leng Qingzhou to the room on the second floor. Butler Zhao and the maid behind him wanted to follow.
Chu Qianyu glanced at them and said, "You guys stay here. I'll go upstairs."
Without waiting for their answer, the two went straight up to the second floor.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Leng Qingzhou opened the door and invited Chu Qianyu in, then he followed and closed the door.
He walked to the table, took out a stack of papers, handed it to her and said, "Take this indenture forged for them. If anyone finds out, it will be foolproof."
Chu Qianyu took the item and said, "The news of poisoning me spread from there. Have you found out?"
After hearing this, Leng Qingzhou's expression became a little more serious. He stood up straight and said, "There are some clues. It should have been spread by the third branch of the Situ family. They seem to be involved. But there are others behind it. We haven't found out yet."
"Okay, check it out as soon as possible." Chu Qianyu said and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Leng Qingzhou stepped forward and closed the door, saying, "I have another piece of news, although I am not very willing to tell you. But for you to be able to fulfill the original owner's request. Forget it. I will be a little uncomfortable. Mo Yinan will go to Lanye Pavilion to receive envoys from other countries. Do you want to find a chance to meet him?"
After he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with displeasure and he turned his head to the side.
Chu Qianyu pushed away his hand that was pressing on the door and said, "Okay, I got it." Then she pushed the door open and walked out.
"What a heartless person." Leng Qingzhou said a little depressed.
He sighed and followed them down, sending them to the door.
After Chu Qianyu walked out, she pretended to look at the name on the contract, then turned around and looked at everyone and said, "Shuang Ning and Shao Ying, you two will follow me in the future, and the other four will go back to serve the Madam. And the servants will go to my courtyard and wait for me. I have something to do, so you can go back first."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
After hearing this, Manager Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going, Miss?"
"What? Do I have to report to you wherever I go? Take these people back to the mansion first." After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, he walked directly towards Lan Ye Pavilion.
Shuang Ning and Shao Ying followed quickly.
Leaving Manager Zhao behind, he wanted to follow, but then he turned around and looked at the people behind him, sighed, and went back to the mansion with his people.
After Chu Qianyu arrived at Lanye Pavilion and walked in, she asked the waiter to take her people to the private room upstairs. Then she ordered a pot of tea and snacks, and began to sit and wait.
Shuang Ning consciously opened the window next to her and then stood back in her original position.
Suddenly, the sound from the street below came in clearly.
Just listen to the people talking. There happened to be a teahouse opposite, where every two days there would be storytellers telling stories about recent events and embellishing them.
It has become a place for people to have fun.
"Today we are going to talk about the big event that happened in the past two days. However, most people don't know about this."
"I heard that the third son of Duke Mu's mansion had his legs broken last night. This morning, he was sent back to Duke Mu's mansion by people from the Dali Temple. It is said that he offended someone, and Duke Mu's mansion and the Dali Temple are now looking for the murderer."
"Besides, this matter also involves the great general's second wife, Madam Man. It is said that early yesterday morning, the people at the Dali Temple received news that a murder occurred at the Zhaohua Temple. So a group of people rushed to check it out. It turned out that Madam Man had died a violent death."
"The strange thing about this is that the third son of Duke Mu was also in Madam Man's room. But today, news came out from the Dali Temple that Madam Man and the third son of Duke Mu were innocent. It was someone that the third son of Duke Mu offended who did it. He was knocked unconscious and thrown into Madam Man's room."
"Mrs. Man is also an unlucky person. She was killed directly by this man who wanted to frame the third son of Duke Mu. Alas..." At this point, the storyteller shook his head, looking very regretful.
Then he continued, "It's a pity that Madam Man is dead and her reputation is ruined."
After hearing this, the people below began to talk about it.
"I see. We must investigate thoroughly and catch the murderer. We can't tarnish his reputation for nothing. It's not good for the general's reputation either."
"Yes, yes, you are right. The general has been guarding the border for us for many years. We must not let him down. Let's not talk nonsense again in the future."
"Look, look, are those people outside serving Madam Man? They have also been released. That means the Dali Temple must have investigated everything.
Suddenly the topic became one-sided, and no one said anything bad about the general or Ye Yu anymore.
Chu Qianyu listened carefully from above, smiled and shook his head. He thought his father was really amazing. He asked someone to guide him in this way. Wang Man's stigma was cleared. The next step was probably to find a scapegoat.
