Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 435

"..."

Madam Yin was dumbfounded!

The Yin family, including the father and sons, were all scholars, and the women were not good at administrative affairs. Shen Lingxia had always managed these businesses, and they had made a lot of money over the years. She supported most of the Yin family's expenses.

How could she just abandon it like that!

Madam Yin quickly tried to persuade Shen Lingxia: "Lingxia, you've studied literature quite a bit over the years, but you haven't made a name for yourself yet. This means your talent might not lie here. You should do what you're better at..."

Shen Lingxia ignored all advice, argued vehemently, and worked diligently to improve herself:

"Even if I don't have talent, hard work can make up for it. As long as I put in all my time and effort, I will definitely be able to learn something! Anyway, I'm never going to touch these mundane things again. Bo Hong already looks down on me. If I don't give him a good impression, am I just going to live a life of widowhood?"

As he spoke, he earnestly said to Madam Yin, "Madam, all these properties will be handed over to you from now on. Aren't you a good manager of the household and manage the family affairs in an orderly manner?"

Madam Yin: "..."

Indeed, the management of the Yin family's household affairs has always been in her hands.

But the problem is that she used to only care about spending money, not making it!

Shen Lingxia manages the business, and all the profits are handed over to the public. She is only responsible for deciding how to use the money!

She managed shops and estates many years ago, but she messed them up terribly, incurring losses year after year, and eventually had to sell them. If she were asked to take over now, she'd be even less capable!

The Yin family hadn't been back in the capital for very long, and the shops they'd acquired were only in the preliminary stages of preparation; they hadn't yet gained experience in opening for business, and they hadn't hired enough long-term workers for their estate...

If the owner stops managing things at this point, these businesses won't be able to operate, meaning all the money will be wasted without any return!

Shen Lingxia didn't care whether Madam Yin agreed or not; she was just there to inform Madam Yin, and then she left!

Anyway, the Yin family doesn't dare to do anything to her now!

She had been with the Yin family for over eight years and knew them all too well.

They all consider themselves superior, as if talking about money is something vulgar and unbearable. They have absolutely no ability to make money, but they spend it lavishly, squandering it like water, and they think they are very dashing and generous.

Now that she's dumped this huge mess on Old Madam Yin, the Yin family will be plunged into an economic crisis in less than a month.

Then we'll see if Yin Bohong and his mistress, who truly love each other, can still live on love when they're short of money!

......

Zangjian Pavilion.

A scholar led Shen Lingjun into the depths of the Zangjian Pavilion.

"Madam Shen, the historical records of Bei Yi from twelve years ago are all in these rooms. The dates and categories are on the doors and shelves. You can look them up yourself."

Shen Lingjun bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your help."

"Please make yourself at home, Madam Shen." The scholar from the Cangjian Pavilion returned the greeting and then left.

Shen Lingjun looked at the rows and rows of shelves in the room in front of him, piled high with countless dusty old files reaching the ceiling, and took a deep breath.

Several of Shen Lingxia's relatives helped her investigate the background of the mistress, only to discover that it wasn't so simple.

Shen Lingxia tried to get information about the mistress from Yin Bohong, but Yin Bohong was very cautious and failed to get it out.

If we arrest the person directly for interrogation, we risk alerting them.

Although they currently know the appearance and approximate age of the mistress, if she or her family committed any crimes, it was more than ten years ago, so they would have to investigate the old cases in Bei Yi.

The Shen family members split up; some went to the Ministry of Justice, some to the Court of Judicial Review, while Shen Lingjun, through the Wen family's connections, came to the Cangjian Pavilion.

The Cangjian Pavilion is a place for collecting history. It contains historical records from hundreds of years ago, as well as many other ancient books and materials, which are vast in number.
