Su Yue was shocked and asked quickly, "What are you doing, young lady?"
"From this month on, you'll get a share of the profits from every month's income."
"What do I need this money for?"
"From now on, you'll have to look after Jin Shang Tang's business. Ajin also needs your help to take care of it. It's not as good as being by my side all day long. Just pay more attention and run the business well. You'll be the owner of Jin Shang Tang in the future, so you'll have to behave respectably."
Wanruo stuffed the banknote into her hand and said with a smile, "It never hurts to save more money."
Su Yue's eyes turned red and she knelt on the ground: "Thank you, young lady!"
Wanruo helped her up: "Suyue, we fled from Linzhou to the capital together, then went to Qingzhou and returned to the capital. I have long regarded you as my own sister. In this world, besides Ajin, I only trust you."
"Su Yue was sold into the Xu family when she was young, and she has grown up with the young lady. Su Yue has no relatives or friends, only the young lady. The young lady has no choice but to take care of herself. I will take good care of her in Jin Shang Tang."
Wan Ruo curled her lips and said, "After a while, when I have established myself in the Xie Mansion, if you want to get married, I will choose a good family for you."
"I won't marry!" Su Yue wiped her tears, "I'll just stay with the girl."
"Let's talk about it next year."
Su Yue was used to relying on her, so after being away from her for a while, she should have her own backbone. When she wanted to get married, she could marry, and when she didn't want to get married, she would support her.
"I feel relieved to have you take care of the business in the store. If there are any patients with difficult and complicated diseases that Doctor Wang can't handle, remember to come to me and I will see them myself." Wanruo reminded.
"Yes, I understand!"
After seeing Su Yue off, Wanruo put the silver into her own money box. Since the opening of Jinshangtang, she has earned 1,500 taels of silver in three months. If this continues, the annual revenue may reach 10,000 taels of silver. This is her greatest confidence.
Now that she has married into the Xie family, Jin Shangtang has a backer. In the future, when she has established a firm foothold in the Xie Mansion, she can take advantage of the situation to develop Jin Shangtang in other places as well. In the long run, her future prospects will be limitless.
Wanruo closed the small box, locked it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
There is hope again in this day.
In the next few days, the eldest lady personally took Wanruo to two banquets and introduced her to people. Since the eldest lady introduced her personally, others naturally did not dare to neglect her.
Wanruo also lived up to her expectations, behaving gracefully and calmly, and was no less impressive than the noble ladies who had grown up observing rules. In addition, she was accustomed to social interactions in her business life, and was very adept at socializing with others. She was obedient but had a hidden edge, likable but not to be fooled, and the eldest lady was very satisfied with her.
What's rare is that Xie Xianyu no longer looks for her, but he always waits for her to come back.
She was too tired to move, so she fell asleep. He didn't touch her, but just held her in his arms and fell asleep with her.
When Wanruo was about to fall asleep, she suddenly thought that she had thought she was forced into a desperate situation, but she never expected that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.
I thought I would never be able to escape from his control in this life, but it seems that staying by his side is not that bad after all.
It was only at this moment that she suddenly felt that they were husband and wife.
There is nothing wrong with a husband and wife supporting each other, respecting each other and treating each other as equals.
The next day, the old lady of Ding'an Marquis's Mansion celebrated her birthday, and Wanruo took Xiuzhu out.
The eldest lady had already taken her to several banquets, and she had met almost all the ladies from the famous families in the capital. The eldest lady wanted to let her go and make her own way, so she let her take Xie Xiuzhu with her today.
"Don't worry, I'm here to protect you!" Xiuzhu patted her chest with a sense of loyalty.
Wanruo couldn't help but smile: "Then I feel relieved."
The carriage curtains were suddenly opened, and an old maid with a stern face scolded, "The eldest lady has specifically instructed that Fifth Miss should be quiet this time and not provoke others. The young lady is young and may not be able to clean up your mess."
Xie Xiuzhu snorted heavily, her cheeks puffed up.
After arriving at the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, Wanruo took Xie Xiuzhu in, first went to pay her respects to the old lady, presented her with gifts, and exchanged a few words with her. Then other noble ladies came to talk to Wanruo.
Xie Xiuzhu couldn't sit still at all, and after only sitting for a quarter of an hour she ran off to find someone to play with.
"It seems that Madam Xie also values you and is willing to let you bring Xiuzhu out with you."
Wanruo smiled politely, "Mother was afraid that I would be lonely, so she asked Xiuzhu to come and keep me company."
"Yes, Xiuzhu is the only one in the mansion who is your age, right? No wonder you two are so close. I heard that Master Xie doesn't even have a concubine or maid in his room. You must be lonely guarding such a large garden all by yourself."
The person who said this was Mrs. Zhao. The Zhao and Xie families were old friends.
Wanruo's smile faltered, and she vaguely guessed what she was talking about: "It's not bad."
Madam Zhao took her hand and patted it, "Speaking of which, my fourth daughter, Yuan'er, is still unmarried. Although she is a concubine's daughter, her mother is a proper concubine and very kind. The child is also well-behaved and sensible. Why not send her to Master Xie's room as a concubine so that she can keep you company."
Just as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she saw the girl named Yuan'er take two steps forward and bow shyly.
Wan Ruo pursed her lips and said, "My dear, I never dare to interfere."
"What are you talking about? You're the mistress of the house, and women are the ones who make the decisions in the inner chambers. How could you not even dare to take care of such a small matter?"
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Don't tell me you can't tolerate any sand in your eyes, so you can't even tolerate a concubine, right?"
