"Mother sure?"

"Of course."

"That's good, I hope the housekeeper won't target the people in my yard in the future, otherwise, even if my mother pleads, I will handle it impartially."

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you, lady."

The butler kowtowed again and again, trembling and leaving.

After the butler left, Wen ordered the things on the table to be taken down, and then returned to the main hall with Qu Miaoling.

"I wonder how my mother is going to explain it to me?" Qu Miaoling struck first and did not give Wen a chance to breathe.

"Miao Ling, the housekeeper came over just now, and I remembered that the housekeeper reported to me once when he was doing this, and I agreed."

Qu Miaoling didn't speak, and Wen continued: "Miaoling, that's the case, we are short of people in Zhuangzi in the countryside, so we temporarily transferred them over, this is also for the family business in the house, I guess you won't care, right!" ”

"How did my mother think I wouldn't care? Or do you just like to call the shots for your daughter? ”

"No, Miao Ling, how can you think of your mother so much? You see, some time ago, you asked for the Zhuangzi in the dowry, and the income of the house was greatly reduced, and there was no way for the mother to do this, and it would cost a lot of money to invite someone else, so it was better to transfer people from the house. ”

Wen's explanation is impeccable.

However, Qu Miaoling is not so easy to fool.

"But mother, when I came in just now, I saw that there was not a single maid in my mother's yard!"

Wen was shocked, how could such insight be possessed by a 13-year-old girl's family.

"Mother, my mother's Zhuangzi and the shop are well organized, if I want not to be fooled, I can only study seriously, no, this eyesight will be trained."

Wen choked again, it seems that she still helped Qu Miaoling?

Wen's heart was blocked, but what Qu Miaoling said was reasonable, and she couldn't do anything if she wanted to use her mother's majesty to suppress her.

Seeing that Wen's words couldn't be spoken, Qu Miaoling smiled, "Mother, I'm not asking you, it's just that the people in my courtyard are not only given by the emperor, but also the people from the Jingkang Marquis Mansion, you suddenly transferred them away like this, I can't explain it!" ”

Wen sneered, she didn't believe that Mrs. An and the emperor would be idle enough to ask Qu Miaoling about the servants.

It's just to suppress her, but she can't refute it, so she can only endure this old blood.

"Miao Ling, don't worry, the Zhuangzi's affairs will be completed in a few days, and my mother will let them come back immediately."

Wen said with a pulled face.

"But mother, who is going to do the work in her daughter's yard?"

"You can rest assured, you will never let Miao Ling suffer, the people in your mother's yard, dial half of it."

"If the relationship is good, thank you mother."

Hearing this, Wen Shi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she thought that this matter was solved like this, but Qu Miaoling said again.

"Mother, you mentioned Zhuangzi I remembered, last time you said that if I take care of my mother's dowry well, you will give me all my mother's dowry, and now, the income of the shop under my name is increasing day by day, I should take care of it quite well, is it time for my mother to fulfill her promise?"

"What did you say?"

Wen was shocked, it was not enough for this Qu Miaoling to dowry Zhuangzi, what did he want?

How could she give.

"Miao Ling, you are still young now, how can you hold such a large amount of money, if you are looking for a husband in the future, you will not attract a group of jackals, tigers and leopards?"

Wen said bitterly.

But Qu Miaoling didn't listen to it at all, she only wanted her mother's dowry, and she couldn't leave it in the hands of Wu Dehou and Wen.

Thinking like this, Qu Miaoling continued: "Mother, are you going to talk or not? At that time, the father heard it, if you are like this, the daughter has to go to the father to seek justice! ”

Qu Miaoling stood up as she spoke, but her tone remained unchanged, but her expression was firm.

Of course, Wen knew that Wu Dehou would not give the dowry to Qu Miaoling, but if it really came to Wu Dehou, for the sake of face, he would inevitably rely on Qu Miaoling again, Qu Miaoling tasted the sweetness, and she would ask Wu Dehou again and again in the future, what would she have left at that time?

No, absolutely not!

Wen gritted his teeth, and there was still some bloody smell in his mouth.

But soon, Wen smiled, very proud.

Qu Miaoling looked at it like this, she knew that the Wen family was going to make trouble again, but it didn't matter, she had to give the dowry, no matter what she would face.

"Miao Ling, you have figured it out, housekeeping is not an easy task!" Wen warned again.

"Please also rest assured that the dowry, whether it is a loss or a profit, is the fault of Miao Ling alone, and no one else will bear a share."

"That's good." Wen shouted, "Taolei, go and bring all the account books and show them to Miss." ”

Tao Lei glanced at Wen, shock flashed in her eyes, but soon, she looked at Wen and shook her little finger with her, and Tao Lei instantly understood.

It didn't take long for Taolei to come back, holding a large stack of ledgers in her hand, Wen's money came over, picked up the top one, and after opening it, the smile on her face was even bigger, Wen's turned around and showed Qu Miaoling the red ledger, "Miaoling, you have also run Zhuangzi by yourself for a while, you should understand this ledger!" ”

Looking at the red in her eyes, Qu Miaoling was shocked, and then she sneered in her heart.

It's all in deficit, how is this possible, as far as she knows, many of the shops in her mother's dowry list are in busy areas, such as the restaurant, silk and satin village, how can it be that it has been losing money.

Fools don't believe it!

She Wen thought she would believe it?

Qu Miaoling pondered Wen's thoughts in her heart. Suddenly, an idea crossed my mind.

She didn't want to let herself retreat and take the initiative to give up this dowry, and the Wen family also miscalculated.

She took the ledger, held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it, and the data was correct.

This Wen family is really thoughtful, no wonder Wen Qingqian in the previous life could be so vicious, it is time to inherit the mantle of Wen Rou.

A mocking arc hung on the corner of her mouth, and she continued to flip through the next one, indeed, with her current eyes, she could not see the mistakes in this ledger.

However, she was a princess in her last life, and she even took care of Situ Huaibo's behind-the-scenes properties, and she still knew how to short an account book.

After figuring it out, Qu Miaoling commanded: "Gently, put away the account book." ”

Gently walked over and took the knot from Taolei's hand, Taolei's eyes were reluctant, and she said softly: "Miss Taolei, leave it to me." Then he snatched it.

"Mother, I can read the ledger, but why are they all losses?"

"Miao Ling, you don't know how big the mess left by your mother is, those people saw that your mother was gone, and they began to be lazy and slippery, and if your mother wants to take care of it, she is also powerless!" Wen's face was sad, and he looked very pitiful.

"But mother, if I'm not mistaken, my mother's shops are in the most prosperous places on Chang'an Avenue, how can she lose money?"

Seeing Qu Miaoling casually pointing out the most profitable shops, Wen's heart trembled, and she immediately reacted, how did Qu Miaoling know?

She went to check the list of the Ministry of Rites?

But soon Wen denied it.

Qu Miaoling was so determined, and pointed out the shop exactly what, Wen was sure in his heart that all this was made by Mrs. An, after all, Qu Miaoling was divided into An's shares before, but after coming out of Jingkang Hou's Mansion, she picked her nose and eyes at the Hou Mansion, in short, it didn't go well anywhere, and she always worked against her, and she was not even close to Wen Qingqian.

She still remembered that Qu Miaoling was commensurate with Wen Qingqian's sisters in the past, and Qu Miaoling loved Wen Qingqian as her own sister.

Thinking of this, Wen was sharp and hated.

This Mrs. Ann, there will always be her good-looking in the future!

As soon as Wen's eyes rolled, he cried and wiped his tears, "Miao Ling, you can't wronged your mother, your mother threw her head and spilled her blood for this Hou Mansion, so she almost gave her life here!" Your mother's dowry, your mother really tried her best, don't think that your mother is mismanaged, your mother really can't manage it! ”

This Wen clan turned upside down, just these words, and Qu Miaoling was tired of listening to them.

"But mother, the Wen family has been in business for generations, and you only became an official when you arrived at your brother, so you didn't learn how to manage the house at home?"

The ridicule in Qu Miaoling's tone was naturally heard by Wen Shi, she gritted her teeth secretly, and said with a forced smile: "Mother's little brain is not very bright, she can't learn this business thing, and it is very difficult to barely lose money." ”

Hearing this, Qu Miaoling smiled slightly, "But mother, what is shown in this account book is a loss, even if it is offset by income and expenditure, Miaoling can feel more comfortable in her heart, but look at this ......"

Qu Miaoling saw that the ledger was open in front of Wen's eyes, and this ledger was made by Wen's order, how could she not know the twists and turns in it.

So her voice became louder, "Miao Ling, mother can't help it, if you don't ask your mother for these today, I'm afraid that tomorrow my mother will sell these loss-making shops, and in the end she can still make some money." ”

Wen said this with the intention of making Qu Miaoling agree with her words and promise to sell it.

But—

"What, you're going to sell it!"

Qu Miao stood up suddenly, with a grim expression.

Seeing the other party's cold face, Wen also knew that she was afraid that her plan would not succeed.

She hurriedly said: "It's just a plan, and I haven't hung up the sign yet!" ”

In the Daling Dynasty, the trading shops should hang up the signs in advance, once the signs are hung, then they have been filed by the government, if they suddenly don't want to sell, it won't work.

That's why Qu Miaoling is so angry.

Qu Miaoling felt more comfortable when she heard Wen's words, but she was extremely angry at Wen's self-assertion.
