Wang took her hand and said with a gentle smile: "I see Qiu'er being so filial and sensible, I must be in the East Palace, and I must be very popular with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Qiuchi secretly rolled her eyes, her head lowered slightly, her cheeks were a little red, and she pretended to be shy and coquettish: "Grandmother, what do you say about this." ”

When Wang saw her expression, he only assumed that she was acquiescing, and his face smiled even more happily. She patted Li Qiuchi's hand and warned her earnestly: "It's naturally a good thing that you have a deep relationship, but Qiu'er, you remember, only if you are favored in your husband's family can you have a foothold in the East Palace, otherwise even if you are a concubine, people around you will laugh at you if you are left out in the cold." ”

Li Qiuchi sat up straight, listened attentively, and nodded solemnly: "Qiu'er remembers, thank you grandmother for her teachings." ”

Seeing her innocent and harmless look, Wang couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, such a scheming little girl, Liu couldn't fight, and she would make others laugh when she said it.

At this time, Li Qiuchi said glutinously: "Grandmother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to tell Qiu'er to support Quansheng Restaurant before Qiu'er left." He asked Qiu'er about the situation of Quansheng Restaurant, but Qiu'er had no jurisdiction and was not very clear. ”

Hearing this, Wang's ears suddenly straightened, and she excitedly held Li Qiuchi's hand: "Qiu'er, you really did Grandmother a great favor." ”

Li Qiuchi said embarrassedly: "I still have to rely on my grandmother, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to join the shares just to see that I was bored and panicked, so I found something to do." I was tired of the gold, silver and jewelry he rewarded me with on weekdays. She paused, and obviously saw the envious and jealous eyes of the Wang family beside her. So she hooked her lips slightly, and the conversation changed: "Grandmother, why don't you tell me about the situation of Quansheng Restaurant." ”

Wang pulled her and talked for a long time about her financial resources, monthly income, number of employees, restaurant property, etc. After talking for a full hour, Li Qiuchi interrupted her and looked embarrassed, "Grandmother, why don't you give me the account book and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a look." Qiu'er is a woman, but she really doesn't understand this. ”

I don't understand, why didn't you say it earlier? Wang's face froze, and she felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out. But thinking of what Li Qiuchi said, she began to be a little vigilant in her heart.

She felt that her mouth was dry, so she poured the tea, raised the teacup and took a few sips to cool it down. She looked at Li Qiuchi's innocent appearance, and couldn't help frowning, was she suspicious? She threw away the twists and turns in her heart, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do with the account book?" The accounts recorded in this account book are all old accounts, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he will be confused when he sees it. ”

Li Qiuchi smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was afraid that Qiu'er would be in trouble, and he wanted to see where there were any shortcomings, and he would be able to help if he had a bottom in his heart in the future." ”

She caught a glimpse of a glint in Wang's eyes, and she couldn't help but hang her head and tug at the corners of her lips sarcastically. When she looked up, she put on a sunny smile: "Qiu'er thought, I am in the same family as my grandmother, so I naturally need to help more, and if something goes wrong in the future, I can also take action in time." ”

Wang was overjoyed, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Okay! It is really a blessing for the Hou Mansion to have a concubine like you who knows how to repay your kindness and knows the general situation. ”

Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

She didn't say anything more, and quickly waved her hand to the nearby steward. The steward, who was supervising the handymen in the restaurant, saw this gesture and immediately reacted and walked quickly in front of Wang.

He bowed slightly, "Boss lady, what do you command?" ”

"You go and call the king steward of the restaurant and bring the account books of our restaurant." Wang reverted to a flat tone.

The steward looked at Li Qiuchi, who was sitting next to Wang, suspiciously, and quickly withdrew his gaze and left as he said.

Soon after, a short, stocky, dark-skinned man came down from the upper floor, and when he walked up to Wang, he smiled beautifully, he held the ledger tightly in his hand, and the whole person looked simple and honest, but he could inadvertently see the sharp light in his eyes like an eagle.

Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows slightly, presumably this is the king's steward.

After Steward Wang looked at Li Qiuchi quietly, his eyes fell on Wang, he presented the account book, smiled honestly, and asked casually: "I don't know what the boss wants this account book to do?" ”

Wang didn't answer, took the account book and looked at it for a while, then said lightly: "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask more, I'll let you give me the account book, you have my own intentions." ”

Steward Wang didn't care, and smiled, "Forgive the little talk, this account book has a lot of information about the restaurant, but you must not disclose it." As he spoke, he glanced at Li Qiuchi nonchalantly.

She closed the ledger and her eyes cooled, "Are you teaching me to do things?" ”

He immediately became frightened and bowed his head slightly, "The little one doesn't dare." ”

"If you are asked to do it, you just do it, and I have my own decision on the merits." Wang's face was cold, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions, "It's okay here, you're busy with yours." ”

Steward Wang's eyes flashed with darkness, but his voice was still submissive, "Yes." With that, he hunched over and withdrew.

Li Qiuchi watched from the sidelines, surprised in his heart, it seems that the relationship between the Wang family and the Wang steward is not as harmonious as the rumors outside.

Wang seemed to see through what she was thinking, and smiled helplessly: "The jurisdiction of the restaurant is basically in the Wang's stewardship, and recently he has been speaking more and more unruly, and he has to be carefully suppressed from time to time, otherwise, one day he will be caught off guard." ”

Li Qiuchi nodded clearly, and at this time, the Wang family handed over the account book, and her gaze stayed on it for a while and then quickly retracted, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand anything, you can come and ask me." ”

As she spoke, her eyes flashed with shrewdness, and her eyes looked at Li Qiuchi like a cash cow.

Li Qiuchi took it with a smile, "Thank you grandmother, Qiu'er will definitely take care of it." ”

She flipped it widely, her gaze frozen, as if inadvertently looking away.
