Hearing this, Song's expression changed slightly and she immediately looked aggrieved.

"Mother-in-law, I don't know how to tell you this. The Marquis originally intended to hand over this shop to our Wei Yue, but he didn't have time to find her. She went to the arid northern region with the prince. I had no choice but to take care of it temporarily."

“I didn’t know about this at the time, and I thought the master had already handed it over to Wei Yue, which led to me being deceived.

That supplier was really abominable. He only gave us 100 boxes of defective products, so I didn't dare to take them out. I don't know how to tell you about this. I am stupid and confused. "

Song acted as if she was extremely grief-stricken and seemed to be in extreme pain.

Having said that, grandma knew it very well and it would probably be useless to ask further questions.

"You are so stupid. You have been in charge of the family business for a while, but something like this happened. I don't know what your brain is made of. In this case, you might as well hand over all the business to our Weiyue."

Upon hearing this, Song was so angry that she almost overturned the table and cursed. This old woman was really too much and was completely biased towards Chu Weiyue.

Of course she couldn't agree to it, instead she sighed with some resentment.

"Mother-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're too biased. You think of Wei Yue for everything good and ignore our Ran Xin. She's also your granddaughter.

You are the one who makes the decisions about the shop for the master, so you have to treat everyone equally, not only managing Chu Weiyue's shop, but also our Ran Xin shop, so that you can be considered impartial. "

Grandma's face turned cold, but Song didn't care at all and continued talking.

"The emperor was very pleased and gave Wei Yue the title of a princess, which is already higher than my sister. If we don't let Ran Xin take care of the business anymore, how will Ran Xin find a good husband in the future?"

Chu Weiyue immediately clicked his tongue a few times.

"Aunt, you are a little too greedy. You have many shops in your hands. If you just want to give some to your daughter to manage, everyone will be happy."

"I only have so many shops, and yours combined is five or six times more than mine. Once I make money from these shops, I will use it to honor my grandmother. Why do you still want to take advantage of my grandmother? Or do you want to take her place?"

Although she didn't say it directly, she was almost pointing it out by name. This hateful Song family simply wanted to control the entire family.

The old lady was old, but her aura was not at all ambiguous. She immediately slammed the table and glared at Song angrily.

"You are really too much, you dare to act wildly above me. I still have the final say in this family. Even if it's your man, he has to listen to me.

This matter has been settled, and no one is allowed to change it. If you want Ran Xin to manage the business, just hand over your shop to her and let her do whatever she wants."

He glared at the mother and daughter and waved his hands with some dissatisfaction.

"It's getting late. You should go back and stop being an eyesore."

Song's chest was bent with anger, but she could only succumb to her grandmother's threat.

Chu Ranxin clenched his fists and tried to kick Chu Weiyue.

But Chu Weiyue retracted her foot quickly and kicked her heel with her other foot instead.

As a result, Chu Ranxin lost his balance and fell flat on his face.

The maid next to them couldn't help laughing.

Her face instantly turned red to the extreme, and she ran away crying while covering her face.

Song sighed helplessly. Although she resented Chu Weiyue and the old lady in her heart, she could only suppress her anger on the surface.

The next day at the morning court, Wen Jingchi formally presented the memorial to the emperor.

"Father, the assassin's case has been investigated. He confessed that someone gave him money to deliberately frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

There must be someone in the court who is deliberately trying to alienate the relationship between me and Wen Chenxuan. I ask you to be careful and find that person. Don't let this cause any rift between us brothers."

His tone was passionate and he seemed quite righteous. He completely trusted that Wen Chenxuan would never harm him.

But he knew best what he had done, Wen Chenxuan also understood, and Wen Jingchi knew it very well that it was he who had done the ruthless thing.

But he didn't understand why Wen Jingchi tried to smooth things over for him in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials.

Frowning, Wen Chenxuan immediately pretended to be touched.

"Thank you, Ninth Brother, for your righteous words. As long as you don't misunderstand, the relationship between us brothers will never become alienated."

He echoed a few words and the emperor was very pleased.

"Alright, I will investigate this matter. As long as you brothers are in harmony, the other person's goal will not be achieved."

Because there were other things to do, the matter was quickly put behind us.

Afterwards, Wen Jingchi mentioned the matter of the Ouyang family.

Although he already knew about it, the emperor was still furious. He ordered the Ministry of Justice to conduct a formal investigation and appointed Wen Jingchi to take charge of the matter.

Because of their contributions to governance in the north, they were given generous rewards.

The Ouyang family was implicated widely, so Wen Jingchi withdrew from the court first.

He has been very busy recently and has no time to look for Chu Weiyue.

After returning to his bedroom and reviewing the memorials, the emperor remembered that he had missed one person.

He glanced at Eunuch Wei beside him and immediately called him over.

"Go and find Chu Weiyue for me. I suddenly remembered that she also made great efforts, especially the plan she and Song Qiancheng made, which really saved the people. I must reward her well."

Eunuch Wei nodded immediately, agreed to go in person to summon him, and specially brought a carriage with him.

This carriage is quite luxurious and is reserved for the royal family. Only favored ministers can use it.

The fact that the emperor sent out this carriage was enough to prove how much he valued Chu Weiyue.

When grandma found out, she came over to give instructions immediately.

"Weiyue, the palace is not your home after all. Your status is different now. Besides, this time the emperor is meeting you alone. You must know the etiquette and bow to the emperor first..."

Chu Weiyue talked on and on for so long that her ears were covered with calluses.

Grandma didn't stop for a quarter of an hour, but repeated what she had just said several times.

"Okay, grandma, I've memorized all of this and can recite it by heart, so don't worry."

Grandma glared at her in dissatisfaction: "If you dare to make a fool of yourself, I will not recognize you as my granddaughter."

Chu Weiyue was amused by her and laughed continuously. After she coaxed her for a few words, her grandmother went in with the maids.

At this time, Song came with Chu Ranxin.

Chu Ranxin was wearing so much jewels that people who didn't know her would think she was attending some important event.

He came to Chu Weiyue and immediately pushed Chu Ranxin to her side.

"Weiyue, if you want to go to the palace to see the emperor, why not bring your sister with you to show your face."

Chu Weiyue clicked his tongue a few times, the Song family's calculations were really loud!
