"I've heard about what Wei Yue did during this trip to the north. She has different abilities, so naturally she should be given more power. It would be a pity if such a great business talent was buried."

Song continued to lobby: "But Lord, she hasn't married yet, how can she manage so many things. Now the important thing is to let her and the Ninth Prince cultivate more feelings, so that their married life will be as sweet as honey.

I have already found a special nanny and plan to teach her how to be a good princess and bring honor to our family in the future."

What she said is also reasonable and well-founded.

After hesitating for a moment, the Marquis was still unable to make a decision.

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes in disdain: "Aunt, the Ninth Prince and I have a very close relationship. Besides, my father just said that I have extraordinary abilities. Managing the restaurant is not too busy for me. It just takes up a little time. It doesn't matter. This matter is settled."

She immediately put the account book next to herself and held it down with her hand.

Song was so angry that her face turned pale, but she quickly concealed it and continued to squint her eyes, pretending to be a smiling tiger.

"But you are still so young, and if you wander around restaurants every day, people will inevitably gossip about you. I think we should put this matter aside for the time being and consider other business. What do you think, Lord?"

The Marquis frowned, he felt that what Song said made sense.

But Chu Weiyue has a talent for business. If he doesn't make good use of it, he will definitely lose a lot of money.

At this moment, I heard a burst of disdainful laughter. It turned out that grandma had come.

Chu Weiyue smiled brightly and ran happily to her grandmother.

"Grandma, it turns out that you are here. I missed you so much. But you don't even miss me. You haven't even sent me a letter in such a long time."

Grandma smiled and took Chu Weiyue's hand: "Girl, how can I write to you at my age? Besides, you are with the prince. If I write to you in a nagging letter, it will be laughed at."

Chu Weiyue said with a sigh: "Grandma, I think you are saying one thing and thinking another. You have completely forgotten about me."

Chu Weiyue deliberately acted dissatisfied, which made the old lady giggle.

After chatting for a few sentences, grandma's face suddenly became serious, but only towards Song.

"Song, I heard what you said just now. Why did you stop this? Our Wei Yue has made great contributions to the Marquis' Mansion. Now everyone in the north knows her great achievements and takes her as an example. What is your intention?"

After being questioned by the old lady, Song wanted to squeeze out a few tears immediately and hold the Marquis' arm.

"Master, I really don't have such thoughts. I am just thinking about the children. I am afraid that it will affect their future relationship. Before a woman gets married, it makes sense for her to learn how to serve her future husband."

"But what the world lacks the most is women who can serve their husbands. How many of those women can be rewarded by the emperor like me?"

Chu Weiyue held her head high with pride, she was full of glory and naturally could not be compared with ordinary women.

She has the capital to be proud, and she is also absolutely qualified to fight back against the Song family.

Such words were approved by the old lady, and the two of them, the grandfather and the grandson, sang the same tune, leaving the Song family speechless.

Lian Houye finally agreed to hand over the restaurant business entirely to Chu Weiyue.

After the family finished their meal, Chu Weiyue accompanied her grandmother back to the yard.

Because we hadn't seen each other for a long time, I chatted with her until very late before going to bed.

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking about Wen Jingchi, he snorted with some dissatisfaction.

It's been a whole day and there's no news from him. Could it be that he has completely forgotten about me since he came back?

The next morning, I went to the store to check the account books.

"Boss, get me the most recent cash flow right now, and also get me the cash flow from last year and the year before that."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but since Chu Weiyue was now the person in charge, he could only do as he was told.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, and beads of sweat appeared on his palms.

Chu Weiyue silently took in his reaction, a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

After some investigation, I found that there was no problem on the surface, but in fact the things I bought were much more expensive than the market price.

As for who the extra money went into, it was obvious.

They handled the running water very cleanly before, without any problems, so although the price was expensive, they could explain it from this point of view.

After looking at the recent cash flow, Chu Weiyue suddenly discovered that there was a shortage of expensive ingredients.

It is recorded above that the purchase of 100 boxes of top-quality royal abalone cost a total of 100,000 taels of silver.

But only the expenditure was seen, but there was no news of the 100 boxes of top-quality abalone being put into storage.

This made Chu Weiyue frown tightly. He took all the records of incoming and outgoing goods, as well as the account books back home, and took the initiative to go and chat with his grandmother.

Grandma was in high spirits, talking to herself while holding a pot of orchid.

This orchid was almost dying before, and it was saved by Chu Weiyue. Now it has become grandma's favorite.

Seeing Chu Weiyue coming, grandma immediately put down the orchid and waved to her.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't you go to inspect the shop?"

Chu Weiyue sighed helplessly: "Grandma, don't mention it. It's really hard to put it into words."

"What happened? Why are you saying that? Is it because the business in the store is not good?"

"Business in the store is pretty good, but I noticed something is wrong."

Chu Weiyue frowned and pretended to be humbly asking for advice from her.

In the past few years, my grandmother had been in charge of much of the family business. However, her health had deteriorated in recent years, so she slowly handed it over to the Song family.

Chu Weiyue took the thing out, placed it in front of her grandmother, and pointed at the words on it.

"It said that 100 boxes of top-quality royal abalone were purchased, but why haven't I seen these 100 boxes of abalone? A total of 10,000 taels of silver were spent, 1,000 taels of silver per box.

I have never heard of such an expensive ingredient. I was planning to bring a box back for my grandma to try, but now I haven’t seen any news of it being put into storage.”

Chu Weiyue pretended to be dissatisfied, but in fact she was secretly reminding her grandmother that someone was deliberately cheating.

Grandma was no ordinary person either. She took the records of goods in and out of the warehouse and took a look at them, then looked at the records in the account book. Her face changed instantly.

"Bring Song to me right now."

He shouted at the little girl next to him. A quarter of an hour later, Song came with Chu Ranxin.

Grandma threw something in front of her: "Song, explain to me clearly where the 100 boxes of top-quality royal abalone went? Why can't we find them in the warehouse? This cost 100,000 taels of silver."
