Shen Yuerong turned around and glanced at Chi Mu. Seeing that he had no other expression, she could only helplessly get off the carriage with the help of others.
Qinghua looked at her with some confusion, "How come it's so fast..."
Before the master and servant could say anything, the carriage that they had been waiting for left.
She was quite puzzled. "It's really inexplicable. I'm just telling the truth. Why is he so upset?"
She shook her head and returned to the general's mansion accompanied by Qinghua.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw that all the servants lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Fu Hengyue had just returned home after being wronged outside, so he was naturally in a bad mood and was afraid that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Shen Yuerong did not go to comfort her, but returned to her own yard and asked Qinghua about something she had thought of.
"How is the shop I gave to Fu Hengjing recently?"
"I haven't paid much attention to it, but I heard from others that there have been quite a few problems."
"A lot of trouble?"
Shen Yuerong was a little surprised. When she had this shop, nothing had ever happened.
"I heard that the young master not only took out all the silver from the shop, but also entertained relatives and friends in the shop, and those friends never gave any money."
"Moreover, the young master's friends often drink freely in the shop in the name of the young master."
"You don't charge any money?"
Qinghua nodded, "They have been like this for a long time. The shop has been abandoned and can no longer be sustained. A few days ago, the manager of the shop came to our house and wanted Miss to seek justice for him. However, I saw that Miss was worried about other things, so I didn't let him come to you."
With a smile on her face, Shen Yuerong instructed Qinghua, "When Fu Hengyu comes back today, ask him to come to my courtyard."
She was confident that Fu Hengyu now placed all his trust in her and would never find excuses to avoid seeing her like he did when he just came back.
As she expected, Qinghua's words spread, and the first thing he did when he returned in the evening was to see Shen Yuerong.
"I've been busy these past few days, so I haven't had time to see you. I just got back home today and heard from my subordinates that you were looking for me. Is there something important?"
Shen Yuerong pretended to be weak and coughed twice, then spoke again, "Today, mother accompanied Yue'er to see Nanny Zhou. Nanny Zhou is not a narrow-minded person. She also said that she would come back tomorrow to continue teaching Yue'er."
"I heard from my mother's people during the day, Rong'er, now Yue'er has gone to apologize, and Madam Zhou is willing to forgive her, so can my position as a fifth-rank official be secured? Now that I don't have an official position, even if I stay in the government office all day, I'll only do inferior work, and they'll look down on me."
Shen Yuerong looked worried.
"I don't know. The lady kept asking me to wait for a letter. She also said that something happened at home recently and she might not be able to contact me much. But I was relieved. If she promised, she would never change her mind easily."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hengyu frowned, "Who is the lady you are looking for? Don't let anyone fool you."
"The general has just returned to the capital, and he should have heard of Madam Su's name."
"You mean... the wife of the Minister of War, Lord Su?"
Chen Yuerong nodded, "A few days ago, Nanny Zhou happened to be teaching etiquette to the four daughters of Lord Su in his residence. She has a good relationship with Madam Su, and she heard that I wanted to ask for an official position for you, so she helped me to make some connections."
He finally felt relieved when he knew who Shen Yuerong was asking for help.
"Lord Su has always been upright and incorruptible. Even some people in the Ministry of War are not close to him, but he only cares about his beloved wife. If it is really Madam Su who asked, then my position is a foregone conclusion."
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Su if there is really something important going on at home, which is why Madam Su hasn't given me any news yet."
"You are asking for Madam Su's help, so why should I be in such a hurry?"
He took off his shoes and socks, leaned lazily on a chair beside him, and said, "You called me here just for this?"
Shen Yuerong poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him with some embarrassment, and her tone became much softer.
"Didn't mother say a few days ago that all the affairs in the mansion were in my hands and I was a little overworked, so she asked me to analyze the situation for my younger brothers and sisters so that they could help with the management? But... Jing'er..."
"I know Jing'er did go too far in his previous actions, and it's normal for you to look down on him, but... this is the General's Mansion's business after all, and it will all fall on his shoulders in the future. You hand it over to him now, and if he does anything wrong, just tell him directly."
"As his sister-in-law, I have done my best to help him, but now... I always feel that I have treated him unfairly. I dare not say a word about business matters. I was not feeling well a few days ago, and the manager came to me and asked Qinghua to make excuses. But I heard some rumors outside today."
"It's just a shop. What can he do?"
Fu Hengyu sighed, obviously feeling that no matter how ridiculous Fu Hengjing was, he must not cause any big trouble.
"It's nothing big, but he not only entertains friends and relatives in the shop, but even his friends always put the bill on his head. Now, more than half of the expenses are incurred by him in the shop. In addition, he said before that he had something important to do and took away all the silver in the shop. Now... the business of the shop is very difficult. The manager has no choice but to tell me."
"As his sister-in-law, you should help him settle the bill. It's just the money for a few meals. Can't the General's Mansion afford it?"
He looked at her with a bit of impatience and sarcasm in his eyes, "I know you're working hard, and I know you don't like Jing'er and Yue'er sharing power, but this is the business of the General's Mansion after all, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of the two of them."
He didn't care at all that during his absence, the business of the general's mansion was run by Shen Yuerong alone.
Will it fall into their hands sooner or later?
Where does he get the face?
"I'm just saying this to my husband. Am I such a narrow-minded person in your eyes?"
"I gave the shop to you and I won't ask for it back. I just thought it was a bit absurd, and I was afraid that those people would lead Jing'er astray, so I told my husband about it."
What Shen Yuerong meant was: I have reminded you that if he gets into trouble, you can’t blame me!
Fu Hengyu was completely unaware of this and waved his hand in annoyance.
"Jing'er is not young anymore. He can tell right from wrong. He just did one or two things wrong. You can't just erase all the good things he did in the past."
"As his sister-in-law, I understand that you're worried about his safety, but you don't have to be so nervous that you don't even allow him the freedom to make friends."
