Song Wanning had originally intended to teach the shopkeeper Liu a lesson and get back all the money he owed the shop. Unfortunately, by the time Song Wanning arrived at the rouge shop, the shopkeeper had already fled, fearing his crime.
Song Wanning had people search the capital, but the Liu family had disappeared. How could a shopkeeper have such omnipotent abilities?
Cai Que also felt strange now. "Miss, we sent so many people out to look for him but couldn't find him. Could it be that Master Wen from the Marquis' Mansion sent people to protect the shopkeeper?"
Song Wanning shook her head, feeling that this idea didn't make sense. She simply said, "Wen Tingbai is busy taking care of himself right now, so how could he have the time to care about the shopkeeper? I'm afraid he's escaped."
When Caique heard this, she held her breath and spat outside the house, "What a heartless guy! He got away with it."
Zhuque was also furious and said in a muffled voice, "Miss, can you tell the second master at home to help find it? I can't swallow this anger now."
"Forget it, he's just a small fry. Now that everything is over," Song Wanning pondered for a moment and finally said, "I'm afraid he won't have a good life now. Business is more important."
Caique and Zhuque both responded twice and began to busy themselves with the work of the rouge shop.
The business of the rouge shop has been delayed due to the recent busy schedule, and now there are many things waiting for Song Wanning to personally check.
What Song Wanning didn't expect was that the Liu family, whom she had been thinking about just now, had now fallen into Yin Yichen's hands.
Yin Yichen's subordinate, Wei Fu, tied up the ungrateful man and brought him to Yin Yichen, kicking him twice. Wei Fu whispered, "Master, this man sold his property and was about to flee, but I found him at the city gate and brought him back. Master, what do you think should be done with him?"
Yin Yichen glanced down at the bound Liu family member, his expression indifferent, as if he was just discussing an ordinary matter. "Does he have any enemies in the capital?"
After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Wei Fu told him everything he had learned. "The Liu family member used to work at the Li family's winery in the capital, but was dismissed because he secretly withheld a lot of money and offended the Li family. The Li family originally wanted to seek revenge, but the Liu family member later joined Miss Song's rouge shop and became the shopkeeper. Seeing the mighty General's Mansion, the Li family gave up on revenge. Now he has more enemies in the capital than ever before."
Yin Yichen held the scroll in his hand and immediately made a plan, "Beat him half to death and send him to the street next to the Li family. We don't need to worry about the rest."
"Yes," Wei Fu replied. Then, thinking of something else, he pulled out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and placed them on the table. He said, "Master, I found quite a few banknotes in her pockets. I'm afraid they were the money she received from Wen Tingbo. I also reckon a lot of them were from the rouge shop."
Yin Yichen looked at the large stack of banknotes in Wei Fu's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Wen Tingbai could actually find money to give to this ungrateful guy. Let's check where the money in his hands came from and make a fuss about it."
Wei Fu looked at Yin Yichen's reaction and expressed his doubts, "Master, Wen Tingbai is just a villain. Now that Miss Song has escaped, should we continue to teach him a lesson?"
Yin Yichen's expression remained unchanged as he said coldly, "Just follow my instructions. I doubt he'll stop easily."
Yin Yichen said, looking up at Wei Fu, "I guess a lot of those banknotes were taken from the shop. You take one, and the rest can be sent to the Rouge Shop."
"yes."
"One more thing." Yin Yichen looked up at Wei Fu beside him, an unnatural look on his face. He coughed and said slowly, "Tell the owner of the rouge shop that I helped her a lot and ask her to think of how to thank me."
Wei Fu felt that his Prime Minister's request was a bit strange. The two of them were now working together in the same camp, so Yin Yichen should do this, but he didn't expect him to ask for a thank-you gift. Wei Fu thought so, but still followed Yin Yichen's instructions and left.
When Song Wanning received the silver note from Yin Yichen, she was busy checking the accounts to see how much money the Liu family had embezzled.
Song Wanning looked at the stack of banknotes and asked, "What is this?"
Wei Fu lowered his head and conveyed Yin Yichen's intention to Song Wanning, "Miss Song, this is what the Prime Minister ordered me to deliver. The Prime Minister knows that the villain has robbed you of a lot of money in the shop, so he sent someone to recover it and let you make up for the current losses in the shop."
Song Wanning looked at the stack of banknotes in front of her without hesitation and said bluntly, "Please ask this brave man to tell the Prime Minister that these banknotes will make up for the deficit and the remaining amount will be paid to the Prime Minister according to the investment."
"Also..." Wei Fu's face was slightly embarrassed, but he still followed Yin Yichen's request and told Song Wanning what Yin Yichen meant. "The Prime Minister said that he helped Miss Song a lot and asked her to think carefully about how to repay him."
"Reward?" Song Wanning chuckled, understanding in her heart. She looked at Wei Fu and said, "The Prime Minister is a kind-hearted person. Tell him that he helped me a lot and I will never forget it. In the future, I will give him an extra 10% of the profit from the shop as a reward."
Wei Fu responded, feeling that Yin Yichen and Song Wanning were talking about different things, but he still turned around and left the rouge shop.
Song Wanning hadn't finished settling her score when Cai Que returned with new news. He looked excited, as if he had gotten his revenge. "Miss, I was just passing by West Street on my way to do some shopping. Guess what I saw?"
"What?" Song Wanning didn't even raise her eyelids.
"There was a dead body in the gutter on West Street, and many people went to see it. I was curious and went to take a look, and found that it was from the Liu family." Cai Que covered her nose and said, "The Liu family member died tragically. They were taken away by the government. I wonder if they met some enemy."
Song Wanning had expected this in her heart. "He deserves it. Even if we don't take revenge on such a villain, there are still many enemies who will deal with him."
Song Wanning was busy all day and found a manager with a clean identity for the rouge shop. The business of the shop was back on track.
Song Wanning breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the shop, about to leave. However, on her way out, she ran into a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Miss Song, the Prime Minister invites you to Tianxiang Tower for a short visit."
Song Wanning was a little surprised, thinking that Yin Yichen had just sent someone here not long ago, and now she didn't know what she was going to do. Even so, Song Wanning still went to Tianxiang Tower.
Song Wanning followed the shopkeeper upstairs to the private room where Yin Yichen was. When she opened the door, she saw Yin Yichen sitting in the private room drinking tea, looking like a rich and idle man.
