The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Liuli ran very fast with the ledger in her hand, and soon caught up with Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun.

After delivering the ledger, Liuli immediately returned to Qimeng Pavilion, where Murong Xuewei was checking the ledger and verifying the receipts.

Knowing that Liuli had returned, he put down his pen and poured her a cup of tea.

"So, what was Murong Lian's reaction after she got the ledger?"

Liuli chuckled, "Miss, you didn't see it. The Third Miss was so happy after she got the account book. She acted like she had already made a fortune and kept insisting that it be brought back so she could thank you properly."

As Liuli spoke, she gestured vividly, describing her story in a lively and expressive manner.

"Then what did you say?"

"I just imitated what Miss usually does and said, 'This shop was built with a lot of effort by Miss, and I hope that Miss will manage it well.'"

"So what did she say?"

"Third Miss is being sarcastic, saying I have short-sightedness. She said this shop will definitely thrive in her hands." Liuli pouted, looking unconvinced. "If you ask me, I'd be grateful if she didn't bankrupt the shop."

Murong Xuewei poured Liuli a cup of tea. "Alright, look how angry you are. Take a break!"

After receiving the ledger, Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun rushed to the shop without stopping.

Murong Lian stood at the shop entrance, looking at the bustling crowd, feeling delighted.

Even before officially taking over the shop, Murong Lian was already imagining what it would be like to run the business.

They even wanted to expand the business of this shop and surpass Murong Xuewei.

Murong Lian walked into the shop with great excitement, but as soon as she entered, she asked the shopkeeper to send her away.

The shopkeeper was an old man who had followed Murong Xuewei for many years. He had met Murong Lian when he went to report on things and his impression of her was just so-so. He knew that it would be inappropriate to send the customer away at this moment, so he refused Murong Lian.

Murong Lian was furious upon hearing the shopkeeper's words. She threw the account book on the counter and ordered Biyu to chase the people away.

"Third Miss, this is really inappropriate!" The shopkeeper tried to pull Biyu back.

Murong Lian had someone stop them, saying, "From today onwards, I am the owner of this shop. I can handle just a few customers."

"Third Miss has been a regular customer of our shop for a long time..." Actually, the shopkeeper wanted to remind Murong Lian of the identities behind these people.

Unexpectedly, Murong Lian waved her hand and kicked the shopkeeper out, replacing him with her own people.

Jiang Lingyun also felt that Murong Lian's actions were inappropriate.

"Murong Lian, we've just taken over the shop and aren't very familiar with it. We need a manager," Jiang Lingyun gently reminded Murong Lian, though he actually meant to tell her not to get too carried away.

Murong Lian seemed indifferent, tossing the ledger to Jiang Lingyun.

“Look, this shop makes tens or even hundreds of taels of silver every day. Not to mention how prosperous the location is, just the three characters of my Murong family are enough to attract customers. Now that this is my Murong Lian’s shop, the old system and people can’t be used anymore and must be replaced with mine.”

Jiang Lingyun only had a superficial understanding of doing business. After looking at the ledger, he thought the daily income was indeed quite good.

They turned a blind eye to Murong Lian's behavior.

After Murong Lian made these changes, almost everyone in the store was replaced.

After dealing with this shop, Murong Lian hurriedly ran to the next shop.

By the end of the day, Murong Lian had replaced all the staff at the three shops that Murong Xuewei had given her.

All those who were replaced came to Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei simply nodded slightly to these people and instructed Liuli to arrange for them to go to other shops first.

Murong Xuewei asked Liuli to keep an eye on Murong Lian's movements.

Murong Lian somehow learned some business acumen, and she simply closed the shop for three days to reorganize.

Three days later, the shop reopened, and Murong Lian and Jiang Lingyun stood at the door to greet customers.

Murong Lian used the influence of the Murong family, along with her own cleverness, to make her business thrive in the first few days.

This made Murong Lian believe that she was a business genius.

"I'm such a business genius! I've doubled the number of customers in just three days!" Murong Lian thought to herself with pride. She had put in a lot of effort to achieve this.

Murong Lian deliberately offered discounts on some precious fabrics in limited quantities, attracting a large number of customers who normally wanted to buy them but couldn't afford them.

Through word of mouth from these customers, Murong Lian's shop quickly became well-known, and every day the customers who came were new customers.

So much so that even before the shop opened these past few days, a large number of people were already waiting at the door.

When Liuli reported to Murong Xuewei, she felt it was unfair, "Isn't the Third Miss just relying on the reputation of the Miss and the Murong family to attract so many customers!"

Instead of being angry, Murong Xuewei laughed, "You're already this angry at the very beginning."

That day, Murong Xuewei passed by the shop and glanced at it.

"It seems Murong Lian has managed the shop quite well these past few days," Murong Xuewei said, looking at the endless stream of customers.

Liuli glanced at it disdainfully, and said sarcastically, "With such a good location and such a cheap price, it would be strange if there weren't any customers."

Murong Xuewei lowered the curtain. "Don't underestimate Murong Lian. It's quite an achievement that she can come up with this kind of promotional method to attract new customers."

"It's nothing but opportunism." Liuli rolled her eyes and made a few sarcastic remarks.

Murong Lian stood in the shop and saw Murong Xuewei's carriage. For some reason, she felt a little flustered.

Murong Lian felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Over the past few days, the number of customers in the store has increased day by day, and Murong Lian has also become complacent, even speaking more arrogantly in the Murong family.

On the contrary, Jiang Lingyun kept criticizing her lately, saying that there were no good things in the world, and that Murong Xuewei's shop was given away so readily, there might be something fishy going on.

Murong Lian felt that Jiang Lingyun was too idle and overthinking things.

That day, after closing time, Murong Lian returned to the Murong family home and found Murong Xuewei and Liuli enjoying the cool air in the pavilion.

Thinking about how much business has been doing lately, she couldn't help but want to show off to Murong Xuewei, "Sister, you're so relaxed! Unlike me, I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't even had time to eat."

"Then you must take good care of yourself, little sister. Your health has never been good, so don't overwork yourself because of the shops your older sister has given you."

Seeing that she hadn't gotten any advantage from Murong Xuewei, Murong Lian could only leave dejectedly, saying, "I won't trouble you with that, sister," before departing.

"Sister Lian'er, I have high hopes for you!" Murong Xuewei smiled gently and left with Liuli.

"Hmph, Murong Xuewei, you just wait, one day I will trample you under my feet!" Murong Lian clenched her fists as she faced the night sky. She, Murong Lian, was determined to win!

On her way back, Murong Xuewei met Song Wanyi again, who invited her to sit in her courtyard.

Just as I sat down, I heard Song Wanyi ask, "Weiwei, I heard you gave those shops on the bustling street to Sister Lian'er?"

Murong Xuewei smiled gently, "Sister-in-law, you already know!"

"After you told your elder brother about that matter last time, your elder brother and I thought about it and we did feel that Lian'er was acting strangely. Before we could even look for you, we heard from the servants that you had given her the shop on the bustling street."
