Chapter 46: The General with No Heir VS the Delicate and Soft Concubine



In fact, Chi Yunzhi has visited these four stores in person in recent days.

It's not a big problem, the location is pretty good, I don't know how it turned out like this.

Chi Yunzhi had her own ideas. She planned to select some capable managers from the Chi Mansion and take over these shops with the help of the manager of Baoyun Pavilion.

The old lady naturally agreed.

Chi Yunzhi did what she thought. The next morning, she took Zhuyin and Huarong to the Chi Mansion, so that they could see how Zhou was doing.

Chi Bingwen usually attended court in the morning, so she went straight to find Uncle Hua, the housekeeper of the Chi Mansion, and asked him to find a few capable managers.

These are all home-grown products, so you can use them with confidence.

"Why isn't Manxiang here?" Chi Yunzhi glanced at these people, a little surprised.

"To answer the question, Miss, she fell ill a few days ago and has died." Uncle Hua replied.

Chi Yunzhi paused slightly while drinking water. The man was actually dead.

After selecting the person, she went to see Zhou again.

She has a rosy complexion and a rounded face, which makes her look quite blessed.

The mother and daughter sat together and chatted about family matters.

When talking about Chi Miaoyan, Zhou was quite sad. Such a good legitimate daughter actually did such a shameful thing, which caused other children in the mansion to suffer as well.

Zhou felt sorry for Chi Yunzhi and was afraid that her reputation would be affected.

"My sister must have her own reasons for doing this." Chi Yunzhi said indifferently. She did not tell Zhou about what happened in the store to prevent her from thinking too much.

The mother and daughter talked about Li again. She was fine some time ago, but when they saw her yesterday, she was so thin that she looked unrecognizable.

Chi Bingwen personally invited the imperial physician to come and see him, but he only said that the pulse was disordered, as if he had been poisoned by some chronic poison.

For a time, the entire Chi Mansion was in a panic, but the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet been found out.

Chi Yunzhi gave Zhou an antidote pill. After taking this pill, she would be fine even if she was poisoned by Croton.

This is also the best protection for Zhou and the baby in her belly.

Chi Yunzhi took the four selected managers to Baoyun Pavilion and handed them over to the shopkeeper, asking him to train them well and take over the four stores in a few days.

The shopkeeper was flattered. He never dreamed that there would be such a day!

So he trained and taught several people diligently and responsibly, and it took him two full days to train them all.

The four shops found an auspicious day to reopen.

The restaurant has more dishes and the prices are reasonable; the rouge shop, cloth shop and study shop have not cut corners and have lowered their prices to the same level as other shops on the market.

As a result, business improved a lot.

Chi Yunzhi specially promoted the manager of Baoyun Pavilion and made him the chief manager of these six stores, and he had to be present during the monthly audit.

The shopkeeper was over forty years old and thought he was about to lose his job. Unexpectedly, Chi Yunzhi's arrival not only revived Baoyun Pavilion, but also made so many stores prosper. He was also promoted to supervisor and his salary increased a lot.

His eyes were red with joy.

"As long as you are down-to-earth and hardworking, you will definitely benefit in the future!" Chi Yunzhi took the opportunity to paint a rosy picture for him, no, took the opportunity to look forward to the future with him.

The shopkeeper was so grateful that he burst into tears.

After a month of training, Song Shaoheng's physique has improved a lot, but his martial arts foundation is still poor.

He was knocked down by Song Tingyue in just two moves, but he enjoyed it.

No matter how much Qian felt sorry for him, there was nothing she could do as this was something Song Shaoheng liked to do.

Ever since she stopped taking care of things, she had nothing to do all day long. The open and secret fights between Madam Xu and Madam Liang made her annoyed.

So he called Chu to his side and lectured her for an hour every day, scolding her so much that she became very tired and thin.

Song Shaoheng kept complaining that it was uncomfortable to sleep in someone's arms!

"What can I do? Go talk to your mother!" Chu twisted his arm with tears in her eyes.

Not only was he unable to twist it, but he also hurt his hand, which made Chu even angrier.

"I don't want to get close to her either. By the way, isn't my sister-in-law's shop about to open? You can go and help. At least you don't have to stay in the mansion all day."

Chu heard it and thought, "Yes! This is a good idea."

So when the store opened at the beginning of the month, Chu also went to help.

When Qian couldn't find anyone, she took her anger out on Madam Xu and Madam Liang, banging the table.

The two old maids didn't dare to breathe.

This day was the opening day of Yinxianglou, and it was also the day when Chi Miaoyan was carried into the palace.

Concubines were not allowed to enter through the main gate, nor were they allowed to wear phoenix coronet and bridal robes; they could only wear pink clothes.

Chi Bingwen himself arranged the ceremonial procession, so he couldn't just pick her up in a sedan chair.

The palace deliberately chose this time to pick someone up. Isn't this intended to embarrass Chi Miaoyan?

Chi Miaoyan sat in the sedan chair with her brows lowered. She heard strings of firecrackers going off outside. When she lifted the curtain, she saw that it was Chi Yunzhi's shop that had opened.

She stood beside Song Tingyue, covering her ears excitedly and fearfully, and her bright smile deeply stung her eyes!

The firecrackers exploded, covering the ground with red, making it festive and lively.

Song Tingyue seemed to have noticed something and glanced over with murderous intent.

After discovering that it was Chi Miaoyan, his eyes became like frost that had not melted for a thousand years.

It was clearly after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the heat could penetrate through the raised car curtains, but she only felt cold all over.

The bustle and brightness no longer belonged to her, and all that awaited her was endless darkness.

An hour ago, she said goodbye to her parents.

Mrs. Li's condition seemed to have improved a lot. At least she could sit and smile now. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was extremely heartbroken.

The daughter she raised and doted on turned away from her, and she could do nothing about it.

She could only watch Chi Miaoyan kneel down in front of her and bid farewell.

"Mother can't help you with anything. Just take these and think of them as a reminder." Mrs. Li handed a box filled with things to Chi Miaoyan.

He gently stroked her face again.

Chi Miaoyan couldn't help but shed tears.

She cried about her miserable life, cried about Li but it was useless, and cried about no one could help her.

The sedan finally stopped at the back door of the palace.

This is a small alley, and usually only the women buying groceries and servants pass by here.

Even if you don't smell it carefully, you can smell a musty smell mixed with the smell of moss and earth. It is dark and damp, just like her.

Now it has become a must-go for Chi Miaoyan.

Chi Miaoyan got off the sedan chair with the help of her maid and stood there to look at it carefully.

A shabby little door was opened, and inside was a small winding gravel road that led to nowhere.

"What are you standing there for? Our young master won't come out to greet you, so give up on this idea!" a maid said arrogantly.

Everyone in the palace knew exactly how this marriage came about.

The servants all despised this woman who had an affair with Zhang Youxing.

Chi Miaoyan lifted her skirt and stepped onto the wet steps, walking inside step by step.
