Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Out of the corner of her eye, Wang Chunling saw Mu Zhou's maid go to pay the bill.

Just as she was about to laugh at her for being foolish, wondering why General Qin's shop would accept her money, she saw a woman standing in front of the counter accept all the money.

Wang Chunling covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said in surprise, "Zhou'er, they actually charged you money?" She glared at General Qin indignantly, "General Qin, you're too stingy."

When Wang Chunling gets angry, she can't control her voice, so everyone else in the room can hear her accusations.

Qin Yansi's expression darkened slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Zhou's face as well.

"Chunling, Brother Qin and I don't care about these things."

"It is precisely because you all don't care that we must make the servants understand this, otherwise they will become arrogant and disrespectful to their masters."

Chunling pulled Muzhou aside, feeling disappointed and frustrated:

"You know, the relationships in your Mu family are complicated. If the managers of these shops don't treat you like a mistress, you'll suffer when you marry into the family."

She said she was speaking softly, but her voice is naturally loud, so everyone who was supposed to hear her heard it.

Upon hearing the word "marry," Mu Zhou instinctively tried to cover her mouth, but Chun Ling quickly pressed her hand down.

“Listen to me. When my mother first married into the family, the managers of those shops ganged up on her and bullied her. It took her a long time to finally get her hands on them.”

As she spoke, she glanced warily at the woman who was collecting the money.

She saw it all; the woman must have been in charge, acting like a boss from the moment she spoke, as if they knew nothing and swaggering around in front of them.

They have absolutely no idea who they are.

She was a servant of the Qin family, and in the future, she would also be a servant of Mu Zhou. She depended on them for food and a living, so how could she be allowed to be arrogant in front of these two people?

Wang Chunling talked nonstop, as if she had just finished playing the clapperboard, making Qin Yansi's forehead veins throb with anger.

Mu Zhou, who is usually indecisive, actually started to have some doubts after hearing what she said.

She looked at Qin Yansi, her eyes sparkling, as if waiting for his opinion.

Qin Yansi closed his eyes, his mind filled with the thought that tomorrow's marriage proposal could not go wrong, and then he said:

"Zhou'er and I are inseparable; Zhou'er's accounts can be kept in my name."

Mu Zhou hurriedly said:

"No need, it's not much money anyway..."

"Zhou'er!"

Chunling stopped her and whispered:

"What's the big deal? When General Qin goes out to fight, he doesn't even have a master at home. He said that he and you are like family. It seems that you two are about to get married. It makes sense for you to help him manage these shops."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou quickly waved his hand:

"How can this be? I have no engagement with Brother Qin, how can this be..."

She suddenly paused, remembering what Qin Yansi had said to her when he came to her house that morning.

He's coming to propose marriage tomorrow.

Wang Chunling said nonchalantly, "Why not?" She saw a young girl standing to the side watching the commotion and her eyes lit up. "Zhilan, wasn't that what your eldest sister did back then? Your brother-in-law didn't have any elders or brothers in his family. When he went to the battlefield, wasn't it your eldest sister who helped manage the family shop?"

When Zhilan heard the topic turn to her, she nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Wang Chunling raised her chin at Mu Zhou.

It means, as you can see, everyone does the same thing.

Mu Zhou pursed her lips in hesitation, but when she looked up at Qin Yansi again, her eyes and brows were filled with determination, as if she had made up her mind.

"If Brother Qin trusts me, I will do my best to help Brother Qin manage these mundane affairs so that Brother Qin will have no worries."

Luo Mengyao couldn't listen anymore.

She stepped forward, gave Mu Zhou a slight bow, and spoke in a stern tone:

“Miss Mu, whatever your relationship with General Qin may be, managing a shop is not a child’s play for young ladies. This matter is tedious and boring. If you get excited about it for a moment and then lose interest later, wouldn’t that mean the shop’s employees would also lose their jobs? How would everyone support their families?”

As soon as Luo Mengyao spoke, she characterized Mu Zhou's behavior as a spur-of-the-moment game of pretend play.

Then the issue was escalated to the point that it would cause the lower-class servants to go hungry and be unable to support their families.

This forces Mu Zhou to not take over.

Before Mu Zhou could react, Wang Chunling exploded.

She suddenly remembered the things her mother had told her.

His words were exactly the same excuses his father used when dealing with those incompetent servants.

Her indignation instantly rose within her.

Wang Chunling didn't suspect anything else.

In her opinion, Mu Zhou was so beautiful, and although the steward was also a pretty woman, she couldn't compare to Mu Zhou at all.

Moreover, although Mu Zhou's family was impoverished, she was still a daughter of an official family.

Unless General Qin is blind, he wouldn't abandon Mu Zhou and prefer this steward.

She simply mistook Boss Luo for a cunning servant trying to deceive his master.

Remembering her mother's teachings, she immediately adopted an air of superiority, slightly raising her chin:

"If you ask me, General Qin is usually too busy with official duties and has really neglected to teach his servants. The masters are talking, and the servants are actually mocking their future masters."

"you……"

Luo Mengyao's eyes flashed with anger and humiliation. She subconsciously looked at Qin Yansi, hoping he could help her.

But Wang Chunling was a woman who wouldn't let things slide once she was in the right. She didn't allow Luo Mengyao to refute her and continued:

"As for how to manage it, I don't believe that General Qin, who spends all his time in the military camp, would care about such trivial matters. It's just like before, do what needs to be done. If you don't manage it well and the shop's revenue is poor, then it's because you, as the manager, haven't done a good job."

After a heated exchange, tears welled up in Luo Mengyao's eyes.

She was already thin, and now her body swayed as if it couldn't support her weight.

Qin Yansi felt heartbroken seeing this and instinctively wanted to seek justice for her.

Mu Zhou seized the opportunity, tugged at his sleeve, her tone gentle and generous, but her eyes betrayed her hurt:

“Brother Qin, do you also think, like this steward, that Zhou’er will only cause trouble? Then… Zhou’er will not interfere. I suppose the person you are used to is more to your liking.”

The last sentence instantly alerted Qin Yansi.

He couldn't let anyone realize that his relationship with Luo Mengyao was special.

So, the rebuke that was about to spill out was swallowed back down.

He glanced at the other onlookers in the room, then composed himself.

"How could that be? Zhou'er is very reliable. I am extremely grateful to have you take care of these mundane matters for me. Tomorrow, I will include the shops and estates under the name of the Prince's Mansion in the betrothal gifts. From now on, I will have to trouble Zhou'er with his work."

Mu Zhou blinked in surprise, then nodded solemnly after realizing what he meant.

"Zhou'er will certainly live up to your expectations."

But Qin Yansi was thinking about something else at that moment.

He entrusted all his assets to Mu Zhou, which would surely put the person in the palace at ease.

Sure enough, once these words were spoken, the others not only learned that the two were about to get engaged, but also understood how much General Qin cared about Mu Zhou.

Qin Yansi watched as the unsteady Luo Mengyao staggered away, unwilling to deal with Mu Zhou any longer.

"There are still many things to prepare for both the marriage proposal and the departure for the campaign, so I'll be leaving now."

Having achieved her goal, Mu Zhou didn't care whether he was going to coax his sweetheart or not. She generously said:

"Brother Qin, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about Zhou'er."
