After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

"What does Prime Minister Yu mean by this?"

Finally someone spoke up. This person was Yu Zhengsha's cousin Yu Erhe, who was now a second-rank official in the court, ranking below Yu Zhengsha. Apart from Yu Zhengsha, he was the one who suffered the greatest loss this time.

Therefore, after hearing what Yu Zhengsha said, Yu Erhe couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and even his tone was a bit questioning.

Seeing someone speak up, the other relatives of the Yu family also spoke up, "Yes, Prime Minister Yu, please explain clearly."

Yu Zhengsha waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry. He then turned to look at Yu Qingli and said, "You all may not know that although my daughter lives in seclusion, she is no less knowledgeable than the rest of you. I'm sure you've all heard of Qingli's reputation as a talented woman."

"So what? They're just some fancy words. They're completely useless."

"It's not that we don't give you, Prime Minister Yu, face. The so-called talented women are nothing more than those who know some music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. To be disrespectful, these things can't be eaten, so what's the use?"

"We came here today to target you, Prime Minister Yu, but you pushed out a girl who knows nothing. What's your point?"

Yu Zhengsha just smiled without saying anything, but his eyes were a little cold. Under this majestic gaze, those people shut up.

"Everyone, I have my reasons for recommending Qingli. Although you are all questioning me, has anyone ever investigated? My daughter Qingli actually already owns five shops."

Everyone was surprised, and looked at Yu Qingli with a bit of inquiry.

Only Yu Erhe had a look of disbelief on his face. "So what if he's just a nominal shopkeeper? Even a three-year-old child can do it. Yu Zhengsha, don't try to fool us with this."

The various clans of the Yu family have always loved to compete with each other, and Yu Erhe is the worst of them. He was already unhappy because he was always inferior to Yu Zhengsha in official position. Now he heard that Yu Zhengsha had such a capable daughter, which made Yu Erhe even more jealous, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Although the others did not say anything, they began to doubt it after hearing what Yu Erhe said. It was true. If he was just a nominal shopkeeper, what was there to be proud of? Not to mention five, even fifty would be no big deal.

"If Qingli is just a figurehead, would I push her out?" Yu Zhengsha's tone had already begun to turn cold. "As the saying goes, we should appoint the most capable person regardless of our relationship. Do you think I would casually recommend someone without any ability to take charge of the overall situation?"

Yu Zhengsha's questioning left everyone speechless, and after hearing this, Yu Qingli knew that it was time for her to refuse.

Yu Qingli stepped forward and saluted everyone. "My dear uncles and elders, I'm here to greet you. I've just listened for a while and finally understood that my father wants me to take over the business. However, my influence is not important, and I don't have much experience. Just like you uncles and aunts said, I don't have any other talents except for some romantic poems. My father is desperate and is trying all sorts of methods. My dear uncles and aunts, please think twice."

The calm and elegant words completely dispelled Yu Zhengsha's previous words and made the questioning voices even louder.

Yu Erhe was secretly proud and sarcastically said, "Yu Zhengsha, look, it's not that we don't trust you. Even your daughter is very self-aware."

Yu Zhengsha's face darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and said to Yu Qingli, "Qingli, don't be so modest. I've known this for a long time. Of all the Yu family shops, only the five under your name didn't suffer any losses this time. I know that business is business, and some things can't be disclosed. However, since everyone here is my uncle, there's nothing wrong with sharing some tips with each other."

Although he was talking about Yu Qingli, he was actually talking to the other people present. Sure enough, after hearing about this, some of them began to wonder why almost all the shops in the Yu Mansion were robbed except Yu Qingli's shop.

Yu Qingli secretly admired Yu Zhengsha's experience. He eliminated all doubts with just a few words and even made them curious about him.

"Let's not talk about these nonsense for now, Yu Zhengsha. How can you prove that your daughter is in charge of five shops? How can you prove that these shops can be compared with ours? If they are just a few small businesses, perhaps those thieves will not even look at them."

It seems that Yu Erhe is preparing to confront Yu Zhengsha.

Yu Zhengsha sneered, as if he had been prepared for this question. He glanced at everyone and said, "If you think Nishangfang is a small business, then I really don't know what other business can be considered big."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the three words "Nishangfang". Not to mention others, the ladies in their house would often go there to buy fabrics, and sometimes they would specially invite the craftsmen from Nishangfang to come back to make clothes. Not to mention anything else, the reputation of Nishangfang was one of the best in the whole of Jiangnan.

I really didn't expect that the person behind the scenes of Nishangfang would be Yu Qingli.

For a moment, all eyes were looking at Yu Qingli, but Yu Qingli still had a calm expression. The arrogance emanating from her body made everyone present feel inferior.

Yu Erhe was also speechless. It turned out that Yu Qingli was the behind-the-scenes boss of Nishangfang. No wonder he had never been able to figure out the origin of Nishangfang. It turned out that the boss was hiding in the boudoir of the Yu Mansion.

"Since Miss Yu is the head of Nishangfang, then you should tell us what happened this time. Why was Miss Yu's shop the only one that was not robbed by thieves?"

Yu Qingli burst out laughing, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. "My dear uncles and elders, I would like to ask you, how do you know that my shop has not suffered any losses?"

"So, Nishangfang..."

"Of course," Yu Qingli said frankly, "In fact, before you all, the five shops under my name have all suffered some losses to varying degrees. Among them, Nishangfang was the most serious, and it can be said that I lost everything I invested."

Yu Qingli's voice was very soft, but her words were sonorous and powerful, which impressed the elders present who were all older than her.

"If that's the case, why was Nishangfang able to recover so quickly?" Yu Erhe was also very curious. Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing to ask a little girl for advice on such things, from a business perspective, if he could really make a profit from it, he didn't mind losing face this time.

Yu Qingli remained silent for a long while before speaking, "Qingli has already said that I consider myself to be of limited talent and learning. This incident was all just luck. If you uncles want to solve the problem, you should consult my father."

Seeing Yu Qingli evading this, Yu Erhe couldn't help but get angry, "Do you two think we are all fools? Pushing the issue back and forth like this, to put it bluntly, no one wants to pay attention to this matter, waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

"Uncle, don't be angry. Qingli didn't mean that. It's just that Qingli has only just started to get involved in business and doesn't have much experience."

Yu Zhengsha stood up at this moment, looked around, and said to Yu Qingli, "Qingli, His Majesty has issued an edict, ordering me to go to the capital to take up my post soon. I don't have the time or energy to manage this family business. Today, while you are all here, I declare that from today on, all of my business, Yu Zhengsha's, will be handed over to my daughter, Yu Qingli."

Yu Zhengsha's initiative to give up the position made Yu Qingli feel a little suspicious. She wanted to take over the Yu family's market in Jiangnan, but it was hard to say whether Yu Zhengsha had done anything or not. Otherwise, how could the shop he had run for many years be handed over to her so easily?

"Father"

Yu Qingli was flattered and was about to say something when Yu Zhengsha continued, "I still have some luggage to pack. You can discuss this with Qingli."

After he finished speaking, Yu Zhengsha strode out of the hallway, leaving Yu Qingli and everyone else looking at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Qingli was about to leave with them, but was stopped by several shopkeepers sitting at the door. They had already made up their minds that no matter whether what Yu Zhengsha said was true or not, they would try it out for now and let the little girl give it a try. If it worked, that would be the best, but at worst, they would just have to maintain the status quo.

"Miss Yu, since the Prime Minister has entrusted this matter to you, you can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Yu Qingli was silent for a moment, then asked: "Do you really want to hear my opinion?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Yu Qingli then smiled slightly, "My dear uncles and elders, then, Qingli will dare to give it a try."

"That's great, that's great. Then please let me see how we can overcome this difficulty."

Yu Qingli, however, put on a businessman's airs at this moment. "My dear uncles, you have all been in the business world for many years, and you must know that it is impossible for anyone in this world to do business at a loss. Although Qingli has only been in the industry for a short time, she already knows this principle very well, so..."

"Don't worry, niece. We're all in business, and we all understand this. Just tell us how we should thank you after the deal is done."

These people are all experienced business people, so they can hear the hidden meaning of Yu Qingli's words. And from her tone, they can also hear that she is at least 70% sure. Otherwise, how can they dare to ask for a reward?

Thinking of this, these people felt much more relieved. If they could use a small amount of reward to revive their business, it would be a very profitable deal.

How could Yu Qingli not understand their thoughts? She was afraid that what they thought in their hearts was quite different from her own.
