"Where did you sleep in the palace last night?"
Qin stared at Yu Jinshu's beautiful face, which was as beautiful as peach blossoms, and was very different from usual.
In the past, if Yu Jinshu went to the city and didn’t come back overnight, she, as her mother-in-law, would definitely not take it to heart.
But Yu Jinshu is so different now, so beautiful, so alluring.
Not to mention men, even women would take a few more glances when they see it.
Yu Jinshu said, "I just slept in the front hall last night."
Qin stared at the palace dress she was wearing again: "Is this what the city lord gave you to wear?"
Yu Jinshu could hear the suspicion in Qin's words. "Since the City Lord has left me, a woman, in the palace, he must have made some arrangements so I wouldn't be left without even a change of clothes. Otherwise, outsiders might criticize the City Lord for being stingy and harsh in treating a woman."
Qin was about to ask another question, but Yu Jinshu quickly stopped her, "Mother, the Imperial Kiln Factory has renewed its contract."
Qin's eyes widened, her face filled with joy: "Really."
Yu Jinshu nodded. "The City Lord really liked the porcelain sent by the Imperial Kiln Factory. After hearing me talk about the hardship faced by the workers there, he was so kind that he canceled the cooperation with Western Porcelain. From now on, all porcelain for the City Palace will be supplied by the Imperial Kiln Factory. The contract period has also been extended, this time to a hundred years."
Grandpa Wang Baoshan’s contract with the city palace was ten years long, but this time it was a hundred years long.
Qin was extremely happy: "This contract between the Imperial Kiln and the City Palace alone can ensure that the Wang family's century-old foundation will not fall."
Yu Jinshu added, "Chenggong still has some products that it is cooperating with the Wang family. There are many problems that need to be corrected. The weaving factory in particular has the biggest problem."
Qin smiled and nodded: "Okay, if you have any problems, I will solve them one by one after I get some sleep."
Yu Jinshu's face turned serious. "Mother, you're not feeling well. You should rest at home. I can handle all the business matters."
Qin's face darkened. She met Yu Jinshu's sharp gaze and said coldly, "Yu Jinshu, I am the head of the Wang family mansion."
Yu Jinshu chuckled. "Mother, yesterday you told the people sent by the City Lord that I, Yu Jinshu, am the head of the Wang Family Mansion. Today, the City Lord signed a Hundred-Year Contract with the Imperial Kiln Factory, and my name is written on it."
She handed the contract to Qin.
Qin took the contract and looked at it. She knew that it must be Yu Jinshu's name, but the name signed on this contract was actually the city lord Ye Nankun, not the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This has never happened before.
She returned to her thoughts and said to Yu Jinshu, "So what if it's your name that's signed? You're just going to the palace on my behalf. It doesn't mean anything."
At this time, several men in official uniforms walked in.
Returning to the Wang family mansion with Yu Jinshu were not only the city palace commander, but also Liu Biao, the chief minister of the Imperial Household Department.
Qin was lying on the imperial concubine's recliner. When she saw the officials coming to the palace, she immediately stood up and saluted.
Liu Biao ignored Qin and walked up to Yu Jinshu. "Young Madam, from now on, all transactions between the Wang family and the City Palace will only be conducted under your name."
When Qin heard what Liu Biao said, she felt her head buzzing.
She said to Liu Biao unwillingly: "Sir Liu, but I am the head of the Wang family."
Liu Biao turned to look at Qin, a look of displeasure on his face. "Madam, yesterday the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to the Wang family mansion, but you yourself said that Yu Jinshu was the head of the family. Now you say that you are the head of the family. In this case, madam, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should be arrested."
Qin took a few steps back in fear and said hurriedly, "No, no, no, it's me, an old woman, who's lost my mind. I'm not the head of the household. My daughter-in-law, Yu Jinshu, is the head of the Wang family mansion."
When Liu Biao turned his stern face towards Yu Jinshu, his expression immediately became respectful and gentle. "Young Madam, in order to ensure that there are no more problems with the goods supplied by the Wang family to the City Palace, from now on, Young Madam will have to go to the City Palace's Internal Affairs Department every five days to participate in the internal affairs department's product appraisal."
Ye Nankun instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to let Yu Jinshu go to the city palace every five days.
Of course Yu Jinshu understood the reason behind this.
Qin was suspicious, but didn't dare to say anything more.
Yu Jinshu looked at Liu Biao with a smile and bowed: "Master Liu, I will definitely keep my mission in mind."
Liu Biao bowed to Yu Jinshu and said, "Young Madam, goodbye!"
After saying this, he left with his subordinates. When they left, they didn't even look at Qin, and didn't take Qin seriously at all.
Qin was angry, but she also understood that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was dissatisfied with her for not daring to enter the palace yesterday, and said that the head of the household was her daughter-in-law Yu Jinshu.
At this moment, she regretted it deeply. If she had known this would happen, she should have had the courage to enter the palace yesterday.
Yu Jinshu escorted the Imperial Household Department and the palace guards to the front gate, watched them leave in carriages or on horses, and then returned to the front hall.
"Mother, when you have time, please have the servants clear out all the account books, contracts, keys, and other belongings in the house and bring them to my yard. I'm tired, so I'll go and rest first."
Yu Jinshu turned around and was about to leave.
Snap...
Qin slammed the table and said sternly, "Yu Jinshu, kneel down."
Yu Jinshu turned around and looked at Qin: "Why are you kneeling?"
Qin said coldly, "Yu Jinshu, did you seduce the City Lord last night in the City Palace? That's why you managed to get the City Lord to personally sign a 100-year contract with you and have the Wang family supply all the goods in the City Palace."
"Ha..." Yu Jinshu laughed.
Qin was furious: "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Jinshu said calmly, "According to what Mother meant, this Hundred Years Contract should not be signed, and the Wang family should not be allowed to supply the City Palace with any goods."
