The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Miss, what do you want?" Wang Hai asked respectfully.

Shen Qionghua looked at the man in front of her, then looked at Gancao who was blushing beside her, and a smile appeared on her face.

Wang Hai is Gancao's husband in her previous life. He has been working as a servant in the Shen family with his father since he was a child. He grew up with Gancao and they have a mutual understanding. Three years ago, he was sent to the capital by his father.

In her previous life, Wang Hai helped a lot when she took back the shop.

Shen Qionghua wrote down a few store locations on a piece of paper and handed it to Wang Hai.

Wang Hai respectfully took it and took a look at it, then said, "Miss, these are all shops under the Shen family's name."

"Yes, you've been in the capital for three years. How do you get along with the second-in-command of these stores?"

"Since we all work for the Shen family, we get along pretty well on a daily basis."

"Well, then you and Gan Cao go and fire all the shopkeepers of these shops."

"Everyone fired?" Wang Hai said in shock.

"Yes, if they refuse to leave, you can tell them that I have evidence of their corruption over the past two months, and that I'm not reporting them to the police just to make things right."

"After they leave, tell the second-in-command of those shops that whoever can recover the credit in the books will become the shopkeeper."

Shen Qionghua gave the token of the head of the Shen family to Gancao, then waved his hand and told the two to hurry up and do their work, while he and Shaoyao continued to look at the account book.

Just as she was watching intently, she heard a commotion outside. Shen Qionghua lifted the curtain and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

The old lady of the Marquis of Yongning had two sons and one daughter. In addition to the Marquis of Yongning and Concubine Zhou in the palace, she also had a little son who was not very capable. With the support of the Marquis's Mansion, he was able to reach the position of the fifth-rank Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple after so many years.

His wife was Wu's niece, and they had only one daughter, Zhou Lingfu.

Now, because the Wu family has not yet split up, Zhou Lingfu is still the eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

Zhou Lingfu brought a few young ladies into the shop and said with a smile, "These are all the latest materials from Jiangnan. Take a look and see if there's anything you want. Just put it on the account of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

"Wow, this is the newest brocade this year, it's really beautiful. Thank you, Lingfu."

"Ling Fu is worthy of being the daughter of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. She is generous when she makes a move."

Zhou Lingfu was flattered by the praises of the young ladies and felt very happy.

Although she looked down on these people, they were the only ones who would flatter her like this.

Those noble ladies had always looked down on her, thinking that her father held a low official position and that once the family was divided in the future, she would just be the daughter of a minor official of the fifth rank.

Even His Royal Highness Prince An only had eyes for his cousin Zhou Lingyi.

But why?

Obviously she is also the grandmother's granddaughter!

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingfu looked depressed and was even more ruthless when picking out the materials.

The maids and servants around these people all had their hands full.

Zhou Lingfu was about to go home when she saw that she had almost finished her selection, but was stopped by the shop assistant.

"Ms. Zhou, who's going to pay the bill?"

Zhou Lingfu frowned as she looked at the bill in the waiter's hand.

"What bill are you settling? You're new here, right? Just put it on the Yongning Marquis Mansion's account."

Having said that, he was about to walk out.

How could the shop assistant dare to let her take the things away? He had just been beaten by Wang Hai and knew that Manager Sun was fired by the boss because of the credit sales. Now the boss was still checking the accounts at the back of the shop.

"Miss Zhou, I'm really sorry, but our silk shop will not accept credit from today onwards. How about settling the previous credit bill with the Marquis' Mansion?" the clerk said with a flattering smile.

Settle the previous accounts?

How could she have so much money!

Most of the things before were taken away by the eldest wife!

Zhou Lingfu felt embarrassed when she saw that the ladies who were flattering her started looking at her with strange expressions.

Her voice got louder, and she scolded, "This shop belongs to the Marquis' Mansion. Do I need your permission to take a few pieces of fabric from your own shop?"

As soon as the words fell, a clear voice came from behind, "I don't know when my Shen family's shop became named Zhou." Shaoyao helped Shen Qionghua out of the small compartment.

When Zhou Lingfu saw that it was Shen Qionghua, she could not hide her surprise.

Didn't mother say that Shen Qionghua had handed these shops over to my aunt to manage? Why is she still here?

Looking at Shen Qionghua's beautiful face that was as beautiful as peach blossoms in March, Zhou Lingfu's words were full of malice.

"Who am I to think it is? Cousin Shen's innocence has been ruined by the criminals. She has been hiding these past two days and dared not see anyone. Even when I went to visit her, she was turned away. Why did she want to come out today - ah -"

Zhou Lingfu covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.

"How dare you hit me!"

She was actually beaten by a lowly merchant girl!

Zhou Lingfu was about to hit back, but Shen Qionghua grabbed her wrist.

"Cousin Fu, you'd better watch your mouth and stop talking nonsense. Three days ago, at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the onlookers all knew that I had returned to the Marquis' Mansion the night before."

"As for the woman who claimed her innocence was ruined by criminals, she was a spy from the enemy country. She tried to impersonate me and sneak into the Yongning Marquis's mansion, but was killed by Prince An."

"Cousin Fu, are you deliberately spreading rumors by saying this, or are you dissatisfied with Prince An for killing someone in public?"

"I didn't!" Zhou Lingfu said anxiously.

"Then watch your mouth and don't say anything nonsense!" Shen Qionghua pushed her wrist away.

Zhou Lingfu took several steps back and looked at the other shop assistants standing in front of Shen Qionghua. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"Just wait for me! You dare to be so arrogant even though you live in the Marquis' Mansion? I will make you get out of the mansion!"

Having said that, she actually asked the maid to drop the material and left angrily.

The other young ladies who came with her looked at each other, and finally picked a piece of fabric with an ugly look on their faces and paid the bill.

Shen Qionghua was not afraid that Zhou Lingfu would return to the Marquis' Mansion to complain. If Zhou Lingfu could really convince the old lady and Lin to drive her out of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, then she would really thank Zhou Lingfu!

Shen Qionghua waited for a while until Gancao came back, and then left the silk shop.

The carriage left West Street and moved slowly through the crowded streets.

A disheveled woman rushed out of the alley and pushed her way into the crowd.

The white gauze dress was torn into tatters, and blood was faintly seeping out, staining the pure white red.

As she ran, she looked back nervously, as if she had encountered something terrible.

Suddenly, a stick as thick as her thigh came and knocked her to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, countless sticks hit her. She screamed in pain and begged for mercy: "Stop hitting her, stop hitting her!" But it was no use.

I don't know how long it took before the sticks stopped.

An old brothel owner, dressed in flashy clothes and wearing heavy makeup, came forward, grabbed her hair and slapped her twice.

"You little bitch! I spent ten taels of silver to buy you, and you actually dared to hit a customer on the head with a vase and run away. If I let you get away, all these years of my life would have been in vain!"

An Jin's face was covered in tears, blood oozing from the corners of his lips. He begged, "Mom, I beg you, please let me go. I will definitely give you the money for my redemption later."

"Bah!" the madam sneered.

"Once you enter my Hua Man Lou, don't even think about leaving. Since you don't want to serve distinguished guests, then go serve those low-class people and see how tough you are!"

"Drag her back!"

Two thugs immediately stepped forward, and above the crowd was the sound of a woman struggling and calling for help.

Shen Qionghua lifted the curtain and was met with An Jin's red, swollen, terrified face.

Even so, she recognized An Jin at a glance.

"parking!"
