Lin Ran hid all the way to the Shen Mansion.
When I saw the white banner on the door, my nose felt sore and tears suddenly burst out.
But her mother and grandfather would never hold the jewels and call her "Nan" to comfort her again!
No one loves her anymore!
Lin Ran sniffed, paused for a moment, and then knocked on the door.
"Young lady? Why are you back?"
Butler Shen was a little surprised to see Lin Ran showing up so late, and quickly welcomed her in.
Steward Shen was her grandfather's confidant, so Lin Ran did not hide anything from him and told him everything about the Marquis Dingyuan's mansion's plan against her tonight.
Butler Shen was indeed furious.
"Marquis Dingyuan has gone too far!"
"The master and the young lady just left, and he actually treated the young lady like this!"
"How heartless!"
"Has he forgotten the vow he made at the Shen family when he asked to marry the young lady?"
"No, even if the master is gone, the Shen family is still here. I will fight for justice for the young lady even if it costs my life!"
Seeing that Butler Shen was about to rush to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to fight, Lin Ran quickly pulled him back.
It took a lot of persuasion to persuade the man to stay.
She also explained that she wanted to leave quickly and asked him to help her deal with all the Shen family's shops tomorrow and stock up on some supplies.
The Shen family has been in business for generations, so most of the shops in the entire imperial city belong to the Shen family, not to mention the shops in other prefectures.
She was in a hurry, so she had to sell them all together, and she could keep all the goods in the shop for herself.
Lin Ran's plan was very good, but Butler Shen was still a little indignant!
"It's clearly the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion that's being disrespectful. In the end, they forced the young lady to leave her hometown. This old servant is so angry!"
Lin Ran tried to persuade him for a long time, but fortunately, Butler Shen also knew that the situation was different now, so he immediately started to make arrangements.
Lin Ran asked him to divide up all the shops, villas, farms and fields and sell them directly in packages, the lower the price, the better, but he would only accept gold, silver or jade ornaments, not banknotes.
Not only that, Lin Ran also took out the two million taels of silver notes collected from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and asked Butler Shen to exchange them for gold.
Fortunately, the Shen family has its own bank, so it is very convenient to exchange money.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Ran put all the Shen family warehouses into the space.
The Shen family's warehouse is the size of one acre and is filled with rosewood boxes and mahogany boxes.
The rosewood boxes are filled with jewelry, jade ornaments, antique calligraphy and paintings, and precious medicinal materials, while the mahogany boxes are filled with gold.
This is just one of the Shen family’s warehouses.
The wealth accumulated by the Shen family over generations is innumerable, and the Shen family alone cannot hold it all.
Lin Ran knew that there were three more warehouses like this in the Shen family's villa.
She plans to collect those tomorrow!
The next morning.
Lin Ran asked Butler Shen to pass on the order that the five restaurants of the Shen family would be closed starting today, but each restaurant should try to prepare 100 tables of banquets today, as she would need them in the evening.
There is also the Shen family pharmacy. She asked the pharmacist to help make more pills, some self-defense powder, and most importantly, the sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs, which she will use tonight.
Butler Shen was hesitant to speak after hearing this, and wanted to ask the young lady what she was going to use it for, but seeing Lin Ran's determined expression, he had no choice but to obey orders.
After arranging these things, Lin Ran immediately went to the Shen family villa.
I guess the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is in chaos right now. Not only Zhu Chengcai but also the warehouse was robbed. I guess they don’t have time to deal with me for the time being!
Lin Ran went to three villas in a row, cleaned out the warehouses, and collected all the furniture in the villas. The storage room in the space was full and could only pile up the things in the open space in front of the bamboo house.
It was already afternoon when she returned to the Shen Mansion, so she asked Butler Shen to gather all the Shen family servants.
She returned everyone's indentures to them, gave each of them one hundred taels of silver as severance pay, and told them to go back and pack their bags and leave the capital quickly.
Butler Shen was an old man by my grandfather's side and had watched my mother grow up, so Lin Ran gave him ten thousand taels of silver.
Originally, Butler Shen was determined not to leave and wanted to continue serving Lin Ran, but he couldn't persuade Lin Ran, so in the end he could only leave with tears in his eyes, looking back every few steps.
By the time everyone left, it was dark.
Lin Ran then continued to act.
She took the keys to all the shops and started collecting supplies from house to house.
Grain and oil shop, close!
Grocery store, collect!
Treasure Pavilion, collect!
Nishang Pavilion, take it!
Cosmetics shop, close!
Incense and candle shop, closed!
Salt shop, collect!
Pharmacy, close!
Restaurant, close!
Study, collect!
Cloth shop, close!
The pleasure boat, take it away!
Teahouse, close!
Horse market, close!
…
All these shops have been sold today, and someone will take over in a couple of days.
After cleaning up most of the street, Lin Ran quietly came to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
It was dinner time at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and no one in the mansion took Lin Ran's return seriously.
Just as Lin Ran guessed, those people were too busy to care about her at the moment.
Lin Ran used the excuse of going to the kitchen to find something to eat, put the sleeping pills she had just collected into the water tank, and then went to have dinner leisurely.
After dinner, Lin Ran also returned the indenture contract to her personal maid and the confidant left by her mother, gave them some money for settlement and asked them to leave quickly.
The effect of the drug over there has already taken effect, and most people in the mansion have fallen into a coma, so the few remaining ones are not to be feared.
Lin Ran then began to act.
She started clearing the yards one by one, not even leaving a bench for them.
After taking care of the backyard, he also took in Aunt Zhu's two children. By the way, where is Aunt Zhu?
Lin Ran found her good father and Aunt Zhu in the front yard.
