The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft
Chapter 15 The ledger is only superficially appealing.
Murong Lian carefully put away the land deed and handed it to Biyu, saying, "Thank you for your generosity, Second Sister."
Murong Xuewei couldn't hide Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun's little tricks from Murong Xuewei, who looked at Murong Lian with a smile.
“Sister Lian’er, what are you saying? We are sisters, but we only have a few shops. Besides, you are about to get engaged, so you should learn how to manage the family business. I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I thought you had never been involved in the family business before, so I wanted you to learn from scratch, forgetting that you are physically weak.”
Murong Xuewei spoke with great sincerity, and at that moment she seemed to truly be a good older sister who cared for her younger sister.
Madam Murong was very pleased to see this scene. "Seeing you sisters so harmonious makes me very happy."
Madam Murong turned her head and took Murong Lian's hand in one hand and Murong Xuewei's hand in the other, placing them together. "Wei'er, Lian'er has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has only recently entered the business world. As her older sister, you should be more considerate of her."
Then she looked at Murong Lian and said, "Lian'er, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask your sister. Your sister has been smart since she was little, and she's really good at dealing with those difficult customers! If you really can't keep going, just give the shop back to your sister, and you can stay home with me."
Murong Xuewei suppressed the urge to slap Murong Lian away and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Lian'er."
Murong Xuewei emphasized the words "take good care of" very much.
Murong Lian was overjoyed to receive the shop and beamed as she agreed to Madam Murong's request.
"Don't worry, Mom! I will definitely live up to your expectations and run the shop well."
After acquiring the shop, Murong Lian decided to visit it. After exchanging pleasantries with Madam Murong for a while, she pulled Jiang Lingyun away.
Murong Xuewei stood at the courtyard gate, watching Murong Lian's departing figure. Liuli said with a little complaint, "Miss, you are so good to the Third Miss. Knowing that she wanted to learn how to do business, you gave away several shops in the most prosperous areas."
Murong Xuewei turned to Liuli and asked, "Liuli, what do you think of my treatment of the Third Miss?"
After thinking for a while, Liuli replied, "Miss, you have always treated the Third Miss very well. You always think of the Third Miss first when you have something good."
"Yes! I've always treated her like my closest sister since I was little, but all she ever thought about was how to kill me." Murong Xuewei gave a cold laugh.
Liuli covered her mouth in surprise, "No way! How could the Third Miss do such a thing?"
"You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't tame a wolf." Murong Xuewei glanced in the direction Murong Lian had left. "She's always been someone who values her life. On the day of my elder brother's wedding, she was unwell, and the first thing she thought of wasn't to find a doctor, but to find me?"
Liuli then remembered that over the years, whenever Murong Lian felt even slightly unwell, several doctors would be called in, and the amount of supplements Murong Lian consumed each month was like a flowing river. Thinking about Murong Lian's behavior these days, Liuli seemed to understand something.
“Miss, you gave her such a good shop. If you ask me, you shouldn’t have given her the shop.”
“She came to Mother today determined to take the shop. Even if I don’t give it to her, Mother will.”
Liuli said angrily, "More than half of the Murong family's shops are managed by Miss. If Miss doesn't agree, Madam won't just give up the shops so easily."
Murong Xuewei shook her head. "After all, her parents died to save my father. If it's just this little thing, I can't agree to it. My mother will feel bad."
“It’s a small matter,” Liuli said angrily. “She wanted to kill Miss, how can it be a small matter?”
Murong Xuewei smiled at the furious Liuli, "Let's not even talk about the fact that she was the one who fell into the water. Besides, these are just my side of the story. We don't have any substantial evidence!"
"So, are we just going to let her go like this?"
"Let her go? How could that be?" A cold glint appeared in Murong Xuewei's eyes. "I'll make her expose her true colors and get out of the Murong family on her own."
"Do you really think that I gave her those shops because I was looking out for her?"
Liuli was a little confused by Murong Xuewei. "Are those shops about to go out of business?"
Murong Xuewei took out an account book from her sleeve and handed it to Liuli. "You've been by my side for quite a while now, and you've seen quite a few account books. Take a look at this one and see if there are any problems?"
Liuli curiously took the ledger and looked through it. After a while, she said, "On the surface, this ledger seems to indicate that business is very good and the daily profits are quite considerable. However, upon closer inspection, it can be found that more than 90% of these profits are debts, and only one-tenth of them have actually been received."
Murong Xuewei nodded, "That's right. The customers of this shop are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles in Ningcheng. These customers usually pay on credit. Although these families don't lack money, their servants are not easy to deal with."
Murong Xuewei took the ledger and turned to one of the pages. "For example, this Lin family is in the medicinal herb business. The person in charge of purchasing for them is Madam Lin's younger brother. This man is always greedy and insatiable. Every time our people go to collect debts from him, we have to give him some money as a bribe before we can get the money back."
Murong Xuewei closed the ledger, a glint of shrewdness in her eyes. "However, he is still the easiest to get along with among this group. As for the others, they are all more difficult to deal with than the last."
Liuli asked, puzzled, "Why can't we just ignore people like that and ask for the money back directly? How can they be so brazen about owing money?"
Murong Xuewei gently tapped Liuli's head, "You! You've been with me for so many years and haven't improved at all."
Liuli rubbed her head, tilted it, and asked, "Ah! Is this not okay?"
"Of course not. We're doing long-term business, not one-off deals. But for a business to last, you have to deal with these people, and these servants have a much wider network of connections than you think."
Liuli sighed, "Why are there so many twists and turns in doing business? Since these things are so important, why did you give the shop to the Third Miss? Aren't you afraid that the Third Miss will ruin things and affect the shop?"
Murong Xuewei sneered, "These people have been bullying me in my Murong family's shops for far too long. Now we need someone with some status and a bit of recklessness to teach them a lesson. It will also serve as a warning to those owners that my Murong family is not a pushover that anyone can bully."
Liuli suddenly understood and looked at Murong Xuewei in shock, "As a young lady of the Murong family, the Third Miss is most suitable to be the one to take the lead."
Murong Xuewei nodded, "Not bad, you're not completely stupid after all!"
Liuli chuckled, "It's all thanks to Miss's excellent teaching."
"Alright, stop joking around. Take this ledger to the Third Miss!"
