Chapter 319: Making Moves



Gu Yunru sat in the yard drinking peach blossom tea while looking at the account books sent from various places.

Suddenly I found something wrong with the accounts here.

"Princess, Mrs. Huang is here." Xiao Ye hurried over and smiled at her, inviting Shen Aojun to come in and sit down.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month. You finally look better." Shen Aojun said, and he specially brought some thousand-year-old wild ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to see her.

"You said you could just come over, why did you bring so many things? It makes me embarrassed to go to the general's mansion to see you." Everyone knows that Gu Yunru has always been a casual person.

"I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I specially found two gifts to come and see you." Shen Aojun said to her jokingly. Seeing that she was looking at the accounts, he started to look at them for her.

"Yun Ru, your business is really booming. It won't be long before you have to form your own faction and set up a business. Have you thought of a name?"

After hearing what Shen Aojun said, Gu Yunru became interested and winked at her and said, "My business... if you think about it, it should be considered an imperial business."

"That's right. Just give it a random name. If someone dares to sell things in your name in the future, you can report him to the government." Shen Aojun said with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably. It was really an eye-opener to have such a smart friend.

"Ao Jun, I always feel that something is not right with the account. Look, last month, Keren Hall only made a profit of 53,000 taels of silver, but I spent 18,000 taels of silver on those cloths. It seems that I didn't make much money."

Gu Yunru looked at the piles of account books. The more she calculated, the more she felt something was wrong, as if something was missing.

"How could that be? Let me help you check." Shen Aojun said, and carefully checked each number.

"It seems like there's something wrong. When I go out occasionally, I can see long queues in front of Keren Restaurant and the milk tea shop. After all, the profits should not be just on the account books. This number is so simple, could it be that this is the accounting..."

Shen Aojun and Gu Yunru both felt that something was strange. The numbers in the account book were obviously not right. In order to dispel their worries, they summoned all the accountants from several shops.

"Let me ask you, have the numbers and accounts above been carefully checked?" Shen Aojun held his breath and looked at the accountants. Some of them were elderly, and some had young apprentices. Their skills were real, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"To answer Madam Princess, the monthly and daily profits are recorded clearly, and there will be no mistakes." An older accountant stepped forward and assured Gu Yunru, patting his chest.

Gu Yunru looked at the expressions of the others and saw that they didn't look like they were lying. She waved her hand and told them to leave. Looking at the messy accounts, her brows knitted together. Shen Aojun held her hand and pursed her lips and said, "Yunru, don't worry too much. There may be some problems here."

"Of course I know there is something wrong, but I don't know where the problem is."

Gu Yunru observed the accounts for the past two years and found that the profits were obviously much lower than last year.

"Yun Ru, why don't you let Qing Feng and the others investigate this matter and keep a close eye on those shopkeepers and accountants. The more money your shops make, the more jealous they become. Whether it's the small workers you hired or the accountant, they should all be carefully investigated."

After listening to Shen Aojun's words, Gu Yunru understood that these people's hands and feet were not very clean. He found Qingfeng in the evening of the same day and told Qingfeng about this matter. Qingfeng took people to the nearby shops to observe for a few days, and would report to him as soon as there was any news.

That night, Rong Zhen saw that she looked absent-minded, grabbed her hand, and pulled out a pair of silver jade bracelets from his sleeves like a magic trick.

The jade bracelet was very simple in color, and the patterns and patterns were something she had never seen before, and it was very rare. "What is this?"

"This is a pair of silver jade bracelets given to me when I went to Manzhou the day before yesterday. I thought the style was nice, so I kept them." After Rong Zhen said this, he put them on her fair wrist. It was indeed a perfect match for a beautiful woman, and it lived up to everyone's expectations.

"Not to mention, they look pretty good." Gu Yunru raised her hands and shook the pair of jade bracelets in her hands. They felt a little heavy on her hands, but she got used to it after a while.

"I never thought that a straight man like you would have a day when you would come to your senses." Gu Yunru looked at his affectionate eyes in disbelief.

"What is steel?" Rong Zhen would be amazed at the new words that occasionally came out of her mouth. She always said things that had never been heard of. Could it be that his knowledge was really not as good as that of a woman?

"The meaning of 'steel' is one-track mind, which refers to a man who doesn't understand romance. But I didn't expect that you have already left the team of steel straight men. It's a cause for celebration!" Gu Yunru raised a half-smile on her face and patted his arm solemnly. Seeing her so energetic, Rong Zhen thought it was a compliment and his heart was filled with joy.

"By the way, next time you see something beautiful, remember to bring it back to me."

"Um."

Rong Zhen looked at her lovingly. Unexpectedly, as the days passed, she was still as innocent as she was at the beginning.

"By the way, Shu'er's two-year-old birthday is coming soon. Have you prepared anything?" When Rong Zhen thought of Shu'er, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. If the child in Gu Yunru's belly was still there, it might be the same age as Shu'er.

"I've prepared it a long time ago. Last year I gave her a longevity lock. This year I want to give her a set of floral clothes, which I designed myself." Gu Yunru patted her chest proudly. She had prepared these things a long time ago.

"Well...my lady..." Rong Zhen suddenly became sentimental. Looking at his eyes, Gu Yunru protected her chest in fear.

"What do you want to do? You look so lewd..." Gu Yunru looked at him with a faint smile on his face, and who knows what evil ideas he might be up to.

"My wife, I'm just wondering when I can have a child of my own." After Rong Zhen said this, he leaned closer to her again.

"I've asked the master to calculate, maybe sleeping together today will be able to..."

"Pfft, ptff, ptff, what master? You actually went to ask those quacks. I'm more reliable than them. We have to wait until that thing is over!" Gu Yunru winked at him subtly, but Rong Zhen was confused and asked depressedly, "What is that thing?"

"That's it!"
