Jiang Muyu said, "Don't bother. My sister's health is the most important. If you feel unwell, please ask a doctor to come to your house as soon as possible."

"Yes." Jiang Muxue was a little embarrassed. She had encountered such a thing the day before, and now she always felt ashamed in front of her.

Fortunately, there were no rumors outside during the past two days. Zhong Lei did not dare to offend the Rui Palace and did not tell anyone about the matter. When the servants of Shulang Garden saw her that day, they just thought she had fallen into the water.

"Why did my sister come to see me today?"

Jiang Muxue said: "I haven't been doing well these past few days, so I thought of going to Putuo Temple to burn incense and donate some money to get rid of the bad luck."

Jiang Muyu suddenly thought of what Princess Rong'an said that day. It was clearly full of sarcasm and taunting. She had only heard it once before and didn't take it seriously. Who would have thought that Jiang Muxue would actually think of this?

She took a sip of tea to hide her exposed expression, and after a moment, she said, "It's good to go and burn incense, and you can also pray for a marriage at the same time."

Putuo Temple is located on Putuo Mountain not far outside the city. It is a famous temple and the nobles in the capital love to go there.

"Yes." Jiang Muxue took a sip of tea and said, "Sister, you haven't been to the temple to burn incense for a long time. Why don't you go with me? It will be good to have someone to accompany you on the road."

Jiang Muyu didn't believe in gods or Buddhas before, but now that she has traveled through the book, these things have suddenly become more credible in her mind.

It’s good to go and worship, to pray for wealth and peace.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."

Jiang Muxue didn't expect her to agree so easily. All the words she had thought of in her mind were in vain. She even felt a little depressed for a moment.

Jiang Muyu didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked, "Besides this, does my sister have anything else to say?"

"Nothing, are you going to get busy?"

"Well, I'm going to take a look at the shop today."

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Jiang Muxue stood up and bowed, "Xue'er, goodbye."

"good."

After she left, Jiang Muyu said to Yun Xuan, "Tell the people below to prepare things for going to the temple tomorrow."

"Yes." Yun Xuan went down and did it.

Jiang Muyu adjusted her clothes and hair in front of the mirror, and only went out when she felt that she was ready. She was now more and more used to the identity of Princess Rui, and she liked to dress herself up before going out.

It started raining when we went out. Summer rain always comes unexpectedly, and the rain drops down on the roof of the carriage.

Jiang Muyu sat in the carriage, lifted the window curtain and looked out. The sky was still bright in the morning, but now it was covered with dark clouds and gloomy. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The initial raindrops turned into bean-sized raindrops, pouring out like a bucket and falling all over the ground.

The streets were deserted; the street vendors that usually operated there had been packed up and many shops were closed.

Raindrops fell on her face, feeling cold and icy.

She lowered the curtains and took a sip of the tea poured by Yun Xuan.

"Shouldn't the prince take a rest today?"

Yun Xuan said: "Yes, it was originally a day for all officials to rest, but the prince was summoned to the palace by the emperor early in the morning."

How could a prince be so busy? Jiang Muyu was a little confused. She remembered that most of the princes in ancient times should be quite idle.

But on second thought, this is not a dynasty that exists in official history, so perhaps there are many differences in the systems.

It's just an online novel, and the author himself doesn't have any profound knowledge.

Jiang Muyu didn't dwell on the matter any more.

When the carriage stopped, the driver outside said, "Madam, we're here."

Yun Xuan walked down first, holding up a large oil-paper umbrella and waiting beside him. Jiang Muyu didn't get wet from the time he got off the carriage to the time he entered the shop.

This is a rice and flour shop, most of the goods are imported from her several estates.

This shop is the most profitable one among all her wedding shops. It's not because the owner is good at business. Rice and flour are daily necessities for the people. Moreover, this shop has a good location in the middle of the street and has a large flow of people.

The shopkeeper had heard the news yesterday that Fude and his men were imprisoned in the labor camp by Princess Rui, and the news had spread like wildfire. He had made preparations in advance for the arrival of the princess today.

"I didn't know that the princess had come to visit us. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me." The shopkeeper and the waiter all knelt down to greet him.

Jiang Muyu looked around the shop. It wasn't big, but everything was neatly arranged. The floor, walls, and shelves all looked clean and tidy. It was indeed nice, except...

"Manager Tong, it doesn't seem like you don't know this." Jiang Muyu walked to the shelf where the beans were placed, lightly touched it with his fingertips, and felt a undried water stain, which was obviously just wiped.

It was raining heavily and the temperature in the house was chilly, but shopkeeper Tong was sweating on his forehead, "Madam, this... this..."

"Okay, I understand." She took the handkerchief handed to her by Yunshan and wiped her hands.

It was just that they knew the leader was coming to inspect, so they made preparations in advance. She remembered that when she was in school, the school often did this. As soon as the leader came, they started to go through the motions and let the students clean up and take care of the housework.

Jiang Muyu walked to the middle of the shop, and the waiter quickly brought a chair and said, "Madam, this has been cleaned. Please sit down."

Jiang Muyu looked at him with admiration, sat down on the chair, and said, "You should have heard that Fude worked for me but dared to embezzle money, so I punished him. In the past, I didn't care much about these things, so the people below thought I was easy to fool. Now I'm personally checking the accounts. I hope Manager Tong won't let me down."

Shopkeeper Tong nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have managed this shop and the profits have been pretty good in recent years. I have paid in all the money I owe."

As he said this, he asked the waiter to take out all the account books.

These farmhouses usually have two account books, one kept by the manager himself, and the other handed over to his superior. If someone cheats in one of them, it will be easy to find out by comparing them.

Yunxuan and Yunshan took the account book submitted by the waiter and compared it with the account book brought out from the palace one by one.

It would take more time to reconcile the accounts. Jiang Muyu felt uncomfortable sitting there, so he stood up and walked around.

There are several rooms at the back of the shop, including the warehouse, kitchen, and the resting place for the waiter and the manager.

Shopkeeper Tong also has his own house not far from the shop, where his wife and children live. He usually goes back home after closing the shop.

Jiang Muyu had someone check things out before he came, and it turned out that Shopkeeper Tong was an honest man.

She walked around, then stood in front of the door, looking at the rain outside, and slowly said, "Manager Tong, your shop is profitable, but it's far from enough."

Shopkeeper Tong's heart skipped a beat, and his body became more hunched. When he opened his mouth, his voice trembled: "Mother, mother, I have done my best..."

"But it's not your fault."

Just as Shopkeeper Tong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her say, "The shops around here are either high-end restaurants or famous eateries. It's really a loss for you to open a shabby rice and flour shop in the middle of the crowd. The rent in this area is expensive. After deducting the rent and the employees' wages every month, your profit will be reduced by more than half."

"This...what do you think, Madam?"

"Starting next month, the rice and flour shop will be closed."

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Tong knelt down and cried, "My queen, we can't close the shop. My whole family depends on this business for their livelihood. And these two waiters are parentless. If we close the shop, they won't even have a place to live."

The two waiters also knelt down.

Jiang Muyu was shocked. "I said Guanpuzi didn't say he wanted to kick you out."
