Seeing that the thugs had all left, Shen Jiazhen, with a dark face, entered Shen's Money Shop with Yi Huan.

There seemed to be nothing unusual from the outside. People came to withdraw money and deposit money; most of them were merchants.

The manager led the two to the second floor, which was a tea room specifically for VIPs.

"Manager, take my token and give me five hundred taels, four hundred silver notes, and exchange the remaining one hundred taels for loose silver."

"By the way, tell your Manager Huang to come see me, otherwise, the next person to see him will be the head manager of the Shen family."

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll go right away. Please have some tea and snacks, young master..."

Once he revealed his identity as the young master of the Shen family, everyone in the money shop obeyed him without question.

As soon as the manager left, Yi Huan and Shen Jiazhen met the famous Manager Huang.

The man was in his fifties, with jet-black hair and long, bright eyes; he looked like a wealthy person who lived a comfortable life.

"My name is Huang Jincai. I was unaware of your presence, sir. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

"No problem!"

The more Shen Jiazhen looked at the manager, the more he felt that something was wrong with the Shen Family Money Shop, even though Lihua Town was a thousand miles away from the capital.

As long as the accounts aren't too problematic, the Shen family won't come here to investigate anything.

"I wonder if you've come all the way from the capital, young master? Is there any important business here?"

Huang Jincai had just overheard the manager mention that Shen Jiazhen had come here to investigate the money exchange.

He wasn't sure if the Shen family had discovered something.

The scene at the door just now had terrified him. Fortunately, those people hadn't done anything to Shen Jiazhen, otherwise his life of wealth and honor would have been ruined.

"Manager Huang, I'm not here for anything important, just to clarify the accounts so that they can be reconciled with those held by the Shen family."

"Isn't my father going to hand over the family business to me? This money exchange is the first task. Once I've investigated it thoroughly, I can explain it to my father."

Having experienced life and death and seen Yi Huan's calm demeanor, Shen Jiazhen also became much more composed and no longer showed all his emotions on his face.

Even if he wanted to investigate Shen's Money House, he wouldn't reveal everything.

“Young master is exceptionally intelligent and has learned business at such a young age. I admire him greatly. No matter how you wish to investigate, the bank will do its utmost to cooperate with you.”

Huang Jincai was confident in dealing with a novice; he had kept all the accounts of the money shop perfect.

Even if there are some bad debts, as long as they don't go too far, it's not a big deal. It's a money exchange that doesn't have any bad debts that's problematic.

"Alright! I have other matters to attend to today. The investigation into the money exchange will begin tomorrow."

As soon as Shen Jiazhen finished speaking, the person in charge took out the silver and the token and gave them to Shen Jiazhen.

Seeing that he had the money, Shen Jiazhen helped Yi Huan up and prepared to go back.

As they exited the money exchange, Yi Huan asked Shen Jiazhen with a smile.

"Brother Chen, why didn't you warn Manager Huang just now not to make things difficult for that woman who sold herself to bury her father?"

"If things really are as that woman said, wouldn't it be harming her if I went to warn Manager Huang?"

As the young master of the Shen family and the owner of the Shen family money shop, I also understand the principle that even a powerful figure cannot suppress a local bully.

If Manager Huang finds out that the woman said he forced people to their deaths and coerced me into buying and selling things against my will, she probably won't live past tomorrow.

But if I were to help that woman like that, even if Manager Huang were all-powerful, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me.

Other merchants in Pear Blossom Town dare not oppose him, out of respect for my Shen Family Bank, not for Huang Jincai.

Yi Huan nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you've improved."

The two returned to Tian Xiaoyu's side. To express his apology, Shen Jiazhen gave her one hundred silver notes and bought her father a fine coffin.

After arranging for her father's burial, he personally escorted her away from this place of trouble.

“Little Yu, now that we’re here, Huang Jincai won’t do anything to you, but we won’t stay here forever. Do you understand what I mean?”

Tian Xiaoyu knelt before Yi Huan and Shen Jiazhen and kowtowed three times.

“Young Master Shen, Miss Chen, you are my benefactors, Tian Xiaoyu. My family’s affairs are none of your concern.”

But what Young Master Shen didn't know was that Huang Jincai was actually a parasite on the Shen family's money house. He deceived his superiors and colluded with the county magistrate in Pear Blossom Town, causing the people unbearable suffering.

Yi Huan had seen many such things, but there were so many demons and monsters out there, he just didn't know whether Huang Jin was a demon or a monster.

"Little Rain, do you know something?"

Tian Xiaoyu nodded: "Young Master Shen, I know that I am not strong enough to take revenge. What I have said is all based on what I have seen and heard. As for its authenticity, only you can verify it."

"you say!"

“Young master, my father and Huang Jincai originally had no connection. It was my uncle who borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates at the gambling den.”

My uncle was a gambling addict. He sold all the family's land and property, so naturally he had no money to repay the loan sharks.

He only came to my father as a last resort, and it was then that I discovered that the person who lent money at exorbitant interest rates was actually the manager of Shen's Money Shop.

My uncle couldn't come up with the money, so they beat him to death.

Even so, they still wouldn't let our family go, and in the end, they made my father pay off my uncle's debts.

They took my land, the forest, and all my crops.

They even tried to sell me out. My father was beaten to death for trying to protect me.

When I had no way to report to the authorities, I discovered that Magistrate Yuan and Huang Jincai were in cahoots. It was then that Huang Jincai decided to take me into his household.

He secretly forbade anyone to help me. If I wanted to bury my father, I would have to sell myself into servitude as his concubine, which is why the young master and lady witnessed what happened.

"Huang Jincai has some nerve, daring to use my Shen family's silver to lend money at exorbitant interest rates."

Shen Jiazhen was furious, never expecting that such a treacherous person would exist in their Shen Family Bank.

"Little Rain, we understand. From now on, you'll be the only one in the Tian family. Find a peaceful place and live a good life."

"Yes! Xiaoyu thanks Young Master Shen and Miss Chen. In my next life, I will definitely be your servant to repay your life-saving benefactors."

Yi Huan asked the boatman to help Tian Xiaoyu into the boat so that she could leave Pear Blossom Town safely.

Yi Huan patted Shen Jiazhen on the shoulder, her face always showing an indifferent expression.

"Oh dear, we've eaten pastries, strolled the streets, and even helped a frail woman. We're in a wonderful mood, little brother Chen. Are you happy today?"

Shen Jiazhen turned to look at Yi Huan. No matter what his mood was, he couldn't get angry at Yi Huan.

"I'm glad you're happy. You've been shopping all day and you must be tired. Let's go home."

Yi Huan walked ahead of him, turned around and saw his disheveled face, then chuckled.

“Brother Shen, the Shen family bank is your family's business. Do you want to handle it yourself, or do you need your sister's help?”

If you try to solve it yourself, five days might not be enough, but if you ask your sister for help, it can be done in one day, tomorrow.
