"Boss Sun, I'll go to Sinan Fang first, and then come over when I understand the specific matters."

"Okay, Concubine Su walks slowly."

Su Qingyan took a carriage to Sinan Fang, every furnishing here was carefully arranged by her and Liu Xialan, the clothes hanging on the wall and the jewelry placed on the cabinet were all drawn by her personally.

If it weren't for trusting Qianrong, she would never have entrusted her hard work.

If what Boss Sun said is true, Qianrong did not hesitate to secretly transfer the money earned by Sinan Fang for the sake of her mother's family, then she would definitely make an example of the monkey and give everyone in the Chamber of Commerce a wake-up call.

"Concubine Su? How did you get here! Qian Rong, who was settling accounts in front of the counter, saw Su Qingyan and immediately greeted her with joy.

"It's been a few days since I went back to Kyoto, and I have to inspect the business one by one, how is the situation in Sinanfang?"

"It's all good, a few more clothes have been sold today, and new models will be launched soon."

Su Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "It's about to be the beginning of the month, are the account books ready?" This month I will personally audit the accounts. ”

Qian Rong's face changed slightly, and she quickly returned to her original state, "I've been busy lately, and I haven't had time to sort it out, so I will definitely hand over the account book before the beginning of the month." ”

"That's good." Su Qingyan found a place to sit down, and her fingertips tapped the table rhythmically, if Lu Tianhui was here, she could see that this was a sign of her upset.

"Does Concubine Su want tea? I'm going to make a pot. ”

"No need, I just sat at Boss Sun's for a while, and the tea is almost full."

"You're pregnant now, and you often feel hungry, and there's milk cake in the back kitchen, and I'll go get some."

"It's fine."

Qian Rong looked at her as gentle and considerate as before, and she was also quite thoughtful.

It is precisely because of this that Su Qingyan trusts her wholeheartedly and completely entrusts Sinan Fang to her for management. Maybe Boss Sun's sentence is right, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is difficult to judge what a person's nature is with a shallow understanding.

But Su Qingyan was still a little uncertain about this matter in her heart, because she didn't want to question her own way of looking at people.

"Concubine Su, the pastry is here." Qian Rong put the milk cake on the table, "It's all freshly made, and it's still soft and glutinous, you can eat some quickly." ”

"I don't have much appetite for the time being, I came here to learn about the business situation, and I have one more thing I want to ask you."

"Huh?"

"According to the accounts of the previous few months, Sinan Fang has been in a state of equal income and expenditure, except for you, the other shops of the Chamber of Commerce are all making money every day, Qianrong, should you give me a perfect explanation?"

Qian Rong bit her lower lip and lowered her head with evasive eyes, "It's me who is incompetent and has betrayed Concubine Su's trust." ”

"I hope you are really just incompetent, not a fake public servant, secretly tampering with the accounts."

"I didn't." Qian Rong knelt down in a panic, "Concubine Su, where do I dare to do such a thing, I hope you will be aware of it." ”

Su Qingyan's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Qianrong, you should know my personality, you must not tolerate sand in your eyes, you were lonely and helpless at the beginning, and even food and clothing became a problem, but I gave you enough trust to get you to where you are today." ”

"Yes, Concubine Su's kindness to me, I can't repay it even if I am a cow or a horse."

"Be a cow and a horse?" Su Qingyan sneered, "Your so-called retribution is to stab me in the back?" ”

Qian Rong kowtowed, burst into tears and said, "Concubine Su, I really don't have it." ”

Su Qingyan took a deep breath, "That's it, I don't want to listen to your quibbles, where is the money earned by the shop in the past few months used, and why do you want to fake accounts, these must give a reason, otherwise I will immediately send you to the yamen." ”

"I said, I'll give you everything." Qianrong was already full of guilt, and when she heard that she was going to be sent to the yamen, how could she dare to hide it.

She sat on the ground with a dead face, and choked up: "Concubine Su, my mother's family also has a younger sister, who is only thirteen years old this year, our mother is a concubine in the house, and she has been bullied by the eldest lady. ”

"So in order to save your sister, you took money from me?" This kind of thing can't be counted as a reason in Su Qingyan's eyes.

If Qianrong really has a problem, she can go and tell the people in the Chamber of Commerce, and they will definitely think of ways to help solve it. But she embezzled the money in the shop, which is unforgivable.

"Concubine Su, I really didn't embezzle, but transferred all the excess silver to the treasury, every time they came to make trouble, I would take out the accounts and tell them that the shop's income was very poor, and they couldn't make money at all, so they would snatch jewelry and clothes, although I wanted to stop it, but I was powerless."

Su Qingyan frowned, "Why don't you tell the rest of the Chamber of Commerce about this?" ”

Qianrong's face was full of tears, "I don't dare to involve them too." The group of people in my mother's family are bloodsuckers, and it will be difficult to let go of whoever bites, whether it is Boss Guo or Sister Xia Lan, they are all sincere to me, how can I make trouble for them. ”

Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be like this, Su Qingyan pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to help her up, "It's not that I want to question you, but the problem of accounts has been known to many people, if you don't come to ask about it, sooner or later there will be a big problem in the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I understand that this matter is all my fault, and I hope Concubine Su can forgive."

"Since you didn't embezzle the money, I have nothing to blame, how is your sister doing now?"

Speaking of this, Qian Rong cried again, "They said that if I can't get any more money, they will sell my little sister to Fireworks Willow Lane and let her exchange her body for money." ”

"What?!" Although the child born to the concubine has no status, he is also a living person, how can he be treated like this, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter, and I will never let your sister fall into that situation." ”

Qian Rong whimpered and kowtowed several times in a row, "I can be protected by Concubine Su, it is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes, and in the days to come, I will do my best to do things for you." ”

"Okay, don't cry, if it weren't for your trustworthiness, I wouldn't have questioned you privately today, but directly handed you over to the people in the Chamber of Commerce for investigation and interrogation."

If she really goes through this process, even if Qianrong has many difficulties, she will be excluded, and no one in the Chamber of Commerce will have too much contact with her.

"I understand, thank you Concubine Su for being willing to forgive."

Su Qingyan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and was about to say something more, when suddenly there was a noise at the door.

"Qianrong, you are really hard now, haven't I already explained that today is the deadline? You didn't even send the silver over, could it be true that you really want your cheap sister to go to the willow alley to serve the man?! ”

When Qian Rong heard this voice, her body instantly stiffened into wood, and she could see that she was very frightened.

Su Qingyan frowned lightly, and looked at the door coldly.

The leader is a very vulgar woman, slightly bloated and fat, and a few golden hairpins on her head should have been snatched from Sinan Fang, and the styles are all the latest.

Such a good thing is worn on her head, it is really a pheasant pretending to be a phoenix, and the more she looks at it, the more she responds.

"Yo, there are guests in the shop today, look at this dress should be a rich and noble person, Qianrong, how much silver taels have you earned, why don't you hurry up and take it out to honor your mother?"
