After returning to the room, the smelly Jiang Wanmeng washed ten buckets of water, and the maids and servants kept coming in and out to change the water.
Even after washing until her skin was almost soaked, she still felt that she smelled bad.
She was a bit nervous, staring at the maids who helped her take a bath with her eyes as viciously as a poisonous snake. As long as they had a strange look on their faces or touched her nose with their hands, she would think that they disliked her stench.
He was immediately dragged away and slapped in the face, and was not allowed to go far away. He was beaten behind the screen of the bathtub.
It was as if listening to their wailing could heal the shame in her heart.
As a result, the maids did not dare to wipe their sweat even though they were sweating profusely, for fear of being dragged out and beaten.
After finally taking a shower, she was told that all her clothes had been taken away by thieves. The garment workshop had to start making them, but it would take at least the next day to finish.
The only solution now is to go to a shop outside and buy ready-made clothes to make do with, but the material is definitely not as good as the ones in the mansion.
As expected, the maid who came to deliver the message was slapped by her again.
The embroiderers in the garment workshop were also collectively dragged out and beaten. Now they will be unable to make clothes for a short period of time.
After learning the result, Jiang Wanmeng was so angry that she wanted to smash things again, but unfortunately, they were smashed and stolen one after another. Even the Earl's Mansion did not have so many ornaments to supply her at any time.
Then the poor maids suffered again.
After being beaten several times in a row, the maids all lay down on the bed and no one served her anymore.
When Zhu received the news, she looked helpless and had to persuade Jiang Wanmeng. She also promised that she would catch the thief and avenge her. Finally, she sent two maids by her side to go over and finally made Jiang Wanmeng calm down.
I thought the matter was at least over, but I didn't expect that Jiang Wanmeng would develop equine phobia because of this.
Not only can he not stand the sight of horses, he can't even stand the hearing of them.
Just because the maid casually replied, "It will be there soon," she was pushed to the ground like a madman and almost beaten to death.
For a time, all the maids and servants in the Earl's Mansion were trembling with fear whenever they passed by Jiang Wanmeng's yard, reminding themselves to be careful with their words and actions at all times. They even dared not say words that sounded the same as "horse", for fear of suffering an unexpected disaster.
Moreover, even though Jiang Shunyi and his wife blocked the news immediately, the news that Jiang Wanmeng's yard was robbed and she was thrown into the stable by the thieves still spread.
The couple was so angry that they pulled out everyone who was present at the time and used threats, bribes and corporal punishments but still could not find out who leaked the news.
Finally, the housekeeper of the mansion went out for a while and came back to find out that it was because they had made too much noise in the stable that day.
The family next door, who lived across a one-person-wide alley from their house, also had a stable at that location, and the noise was heard by the groom who got up early.
Then he simply took a ladder and lay on the wall of his house openly, watching all the excitement going on there.
It just so happened that that family was the sworn enemy of their master, so they promoted them with great fanfare.
Now, whenever you go out, the talk in the streets and alleys after dinner is all about the Earl's daughter's yard being robbed and people being thrown into the stable and sprayed with manure by horses.
Jiang Wanmeng could almost be said to have become a huge celebrity this time, but unfortunately, Mrs. Zhu was afraid that she would be sad, so she issued a gag order in the mansion, ordering the servants not to mention this matter, so she herself didn't know about it yet.
Jiang Shunyi was so angry that he simply reported the matter to the authorities, vowing to catch the thief and avenge his previous shame. Anyway, his family's scandal had already spread everywhere, so there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
Zhu was so angry that the people from the neighboring Cao Mansion spread her daughter's affairs, so she had a fight with Mrs. Cao at a banquet hosted by the old prince's house.
Not only did her relationship with the Cao family deteriorate further, but she also offended the host of the banquet, which made the old princess so angry that she almost kicked her out on the spot.
Tian An was shocked when he heard the news. He looked at Deng Xue in disbelief and asked, "You threw him into the stable?"
Deng Xue said as if it was a matter of course: "She always complains about this and that being dirty. Now that she herself is dirtier than everyone else, she won't complain about others being dirty anymore, right?"
Tian An held his forehead, "There's no evidence left!"
Deng Xue thought about it for a while before saying firmly, "No."
Little did she know that Jingyu almost ran herself to pieces because of the word "no".
After Zhao Yiming rode away that day, he was really worried about Tian An. Fearing that she would think too much, he asked Jingyu to go back and look after her.
As a result, Jiang Wanmeng came to the house to cause trouble, and was besieged for her own fault. Then Hongtong and Deng Xue went to teach her a lesson, and they sneaked into the Earl's Mansion and waited until night. They saw everything happen, including stealing things and throwing people into the stable.
One of them was Tian An's man, and the other was the princess's man. He couldn't say anything to either of them, so he could only follow behind secretly to clean up the mess.
He helped the two men wipe off the muddy footprints they brought from the flower bed, picked up the things that were dropped when Jiang Wanmeng was abandoned, and guided them to the black market to exchange the stolen items for money, and finally distributed them to the beggars in the dilapidated temple in the west of the city and the people in the slums in the south of the city.
After watching the two of them return safely to the general's mansion, he went back tiredly.
After receiving Deng Xue's affirmative answer, Tian An stopped asking questions and only told her not to go out for a while, and then started to busy himself with the things at hand.
She had asked Chunxi and Chen Qiang to secretly investigate the ten shops that Zhao Yiming had sent as betrothal gifts. Five of them had good performance, but five of them had been making losses for almost consecutive years.
She planned to take back the five loss-making shops and start something else.
Fortunately, although the five shops are currently suffering heavy losses, their locations are very good. As long as they are managed well, I believe they will soon turn losses into profits.
After deciding on the future business projects for the five shops, Tian An called Chen Qiang and gave him the land deeds directly, asking him to take back the shops with the deeds and people tomorrow, and not to keep any of the shopkeepers or clerks.
The shop has been making losses for years but is still open. Whether it is due to cooking the books, embezzlement, or secret operations, it is all due to the owner or the clerks.
She has a lot of things to do! She doesn't have the time and energy to check the old accounts again. It would be better to just collect them and open a new one, which would save a lot of time.
There are five shops, one is a grain shop and one is a fruit shop.
There is plenty of grain and fruit on the farm, it just takes some effort to transport them here. Moreover, the grain and fruit on her farm are of good quality, and she will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the capital soon.
Of the remaining three, one runs a cake shop. The one on the east side of the street is flooded with orders every day, so it’s time to open a branch.
As someone who runs a candy shop, she has many candy making recipes in her hands. With the addition of chocolate, hers will definitely be the only one of its kind in the capital.
The last one opened a doll shop. I remember that they started their business with this when they were in Jinning County, but it was discontinued after they came to Beijing. It’s really a pity.
Mangzhong has a talent for making dolls, so Tian An feels relieved to hand over the doll shop to her.
The shops have been arranged, as well as the farm. She has to find time to visit them in person.
