The mistress of a marquis's family divorced her husband and married someone else: the scumbag
Chapter 22 Let Him Take the Lead
He just couldn't believe that the entire mansion, including all the properties, didn't have even ten thousand taels!
Ye Qingluo, sooner or later he would make this woman pay the price for her current arrogance.
The next morning.
Ye Qingluo arrived at Huichun Hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Li Er coming towards him with a smile on his face.
"Madam, the Dali Temple just sent someone to deliver the 20,000 taels of loss. There are also some expenses that have been recorded in the account book. Please review them."
Li Er handed the account book to Ye Qingluo.
Ye Qingluo took the account book and joked, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Madam, you don't know that the people from the Dali Temple also said that Manager Zhong has confessed his guilt and has been detained."
"Over the years, he has relied on the old lady's connections to enrich himself. Even if we wanted to speak out, we had nowhere to go. Now this is his retribution."
Li Erguang felt very happy just thinking about it.
Ye Qingluo looked through the latest account book and found no problems, so he returned it.
He looked at Li Er with more appreciation, "You have made an invaluable contribution to this matter."
"Thank you for your praise, ma'am. These are what I should do."
Ye Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Including the testimony of Miss Jiang from Chunhua Pavilion?"
Li Er's face turned red when he heard this, and he quickly explained, "Madam, you misunderstood. The evidence has nothing to do with me. It was sent by a girl who said she could help you."
"girl?"
Ye Qingluo was puzzled and asked Li Er again, "What did that person look like? When did he come? Besides giving you those letters, what else did he say?"
"Well..." Li Er thought for a moment and replied to Ye Qingluo, "It was evening, and when I was about to close the door, that person suddenly broke in. He looked thin and weak."
"As for what was said..."
"Ah! I remembered that girl said that you, madam, were her savior."
After hearing what Li Er said, Ye Qingluo could roughly guess who the other person was.
Unexpectedly, those words in the alley actually took Caiyue to heart.
"Next time you see her, keep her and tell her that it is not enough to just deliver information if you want to succeed. She will understand." Ye Qingluo said. The fact that Caiyue knew about Chunhua Pavilion proved that she had paid attention to the movements of Huichuntang.
If there were no letters, there would have been an extra obstacle to exposing Zhong Huai's case.
For this reason, she was willing to give the other person a hand, but whether he could stand up or not was not her concern.
"Yes!"
"From today on, you are the new manager of Huichuntang."
"Li Er, you must work hard and don't let me down."
Li Er was about to agree when he realized something was wrong and his eyes widened in shock.
After being stunned for several seconds, he asked cautiously, "Madam, you just said that I am the new manager of Huichuntang. Is this true?"
"How else could it be fake?"
Ye Qingluo replied that after spending these few days together, she had a general understanding of everyone's abilities.
After much deliberation, it is most appropriate for Li Er to replace Zhong Huai as the shopkeeper.
There were not many people in Huichun Hall at that time, and Li Er's exclamation attracted other waiters and doctors.
They knew that the shopkeeper's ability was limited and had no objection to Li Er taking over.
"Madam, I will definitely fulfill my duties conscientiously and will never let the situation that happened when Zhong Huai was here happen again!"
Li Er's face flushed and his voice trembled as if he was crying.
"I will never betray your trust!"
"Well, they say men don't shed tears easily, so why are your eyes red?" Ye Qingluo teased, and then said to the others present, "Except for Li Er, I also hope that you will perform your duties conscientiously. If I find out that someone is cheating, I will never let them off easily."
"Also, there is only one doctor in the clinic, so you can post a notice to recruit another one in the next few days."
Ye Qingluo looked at Li Er and said, "If the person is suitable, bring him to me."
"Little understands."
"Okay, everyone go and do your own thing."
Seeing all these people gathered here, Ye Qingluo said as he walked towards the medicinal materials.
Li Er followed closely behind and saw Ye Qingluo staring at the herbs in the medicine cabinet. "Madam, do you think there is any problem with these herbs?"
"Since the last incident, I have had checkups every few days."
"No, I just think that this herb may still have room for improvement in its efficacy."
"Ah?" Li Er was puzzled. Isn't this herb the most common one? How can it be compared with those rare ones?
But what Li Er didn't know was that it really worked in Ye Qingluo's space.
In response to this, Ye Qingluo took some medicinal herbs and put them into the space. In her previous life, she accidentally discovered that no matter whether it was medicinal herbs or herbs brought in from outside, as long as they were soaked in spiritual spring water, they would have a regenerative effect.
The herbs were replanted and their effectiveness was two or three times greater than before.
Although the space followed her, time has passed and things have changed. I don't know whether it can achieve the same effect. This needs to be verified.
Apart from major matters, Li Er can handle some trivial matters and management in Huichun Hall very well.
Not only did she feel at ease about this, but she was also able to save herself some unnecessary trouble.
It was not until nearly evening that Ye Qingluo returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
Cuizhu was waiting at the gate early in the morning, and when she saw her coming back, she ran up to her.
"What happened?"
"Madam, the Marquis is scolding the butler over there, and he's really angry!"
Ever since the lady stopped being as "tolerant" as before, Cuizhu's temperament has become a lot more lively.
"Do you know what it is?"
"I heard that the Marquis asked the butler to go to Wangyue Restaurant to do something, but not only did the butler fail to do it, he was also kicked out."
"Actually, this restaurant belongs to you, Madam. If it weren't for the old lady's suggestion..."
The two of them had just arrived at the back garden while they were talking, and after walking a few steps forward they heard Chu Beiyu's angry voice.
"You are the housekeeper of my mansion after all, how could you be kicked out!"
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can I expect from you in the future!"
The housekeeper didn't dare to raise his head because of the scolding. Chu Beiyu wanted to continue speaking when he felt someone approaching him.
Seeing who was coming, Chu Beiyu snorted coldly, and said impatiently, "What are you doing here, come and see a joke?"
"What the Marquis said is not funny in itself."
She glanced at the housekeeper who was scolded so hard that he dared not say a word, and guessed what had happened.
Chu Beiyu sent people over there, probably because he had his eyes on the silver there.
But I didn't expect Ximen Ao to be so disrespectful. Not only did he not give me any face, he also drove me out.
"My Lord, have you ever thought about why your distant cousin dares to be so disrespectful?"
"What do you mean?"
Chu Beiyu frowned, "Ye Qingluo, are you here again..."
"My Lord, please don't just come here. Wangyue Restaurant has been managed by your aunt's eldest cousin for many years. Even if the butler goes there, it will be useless, right?"
"Why is it useless!"
Chu Beiyu asked angrily, why should an unrelated cousin occupy the property of his mansion!
Seeing this, Ye Qingluo's eyes became more cunning. Wangyue Restaurant is different from Huichuntang. Ximen Ao probably has gained a lot of benefits from it over the years.
It is obviously not practical to expect him to hand it over obediently, not to mention the relationship with Old Madam Chu.
Instead of her coming forward in person, it would be more appropriate to take advantage of the fact that Chu Beiyu is short of money and let him take the lead.
In that case, Chu Beiyu, the "mad dog", versus Ximen Ao, the "bully", it would be a good show to watch...
