After discussing with the Marquis, Song went to see her grandmother in person and told her the purpose.
Grandma hesitated for a moment, her expression changed slightly, but before she could agree, Chu Weiyue happened to appear from the side.
"Grandma, you were admiring the flowers. No wonder you were not in the room when I came to look for you."
Chu Weiyue walked over with a smile on her face and handed the account book to her: "This is the recent account of the shop, as well as the expenditure and income of the mansion. I have made a detailed list. Please take a look."
In the past, the account books of the Marquis' Mansion were very general, and there were no specific statistical tables at all. It seemed that the people here did not know how to use them.
Afraid that my grandma would have a headache seeing all this, I made a detailed table for comparison, listing out all the past income and expenditure.
Grandma understood it at a glance and immediately narrowed her eyes in joy: "Grandma's granddaughter is really capable. It's a pity that she's a daughter. If it was a son, wouldn't your brother and your father have no chance to show up!"
"Grandma, after all, you have a keen eye for talent..." Chu Weiyue wanted to put all the compliments on grandma.
Song stood nearby, looking like an idiot. She watched the two of them smiling throughout the whole process, without any sense of existence at all.
Glancing at her, Chu Weiyue laughed disdainfully: "Grandma, your birthday is coming soon, tell me if you have any ideas!"
She was hinting to her grandmother that she planned to host her birthday party herself.
Grandma had no doubt about her performance and ability, and immediately set her sights on Song.
"Daughter-in-law, you have been running this family for many years, and it is really too hard. As a result, you have no time to educate your daughter. In my opinion, you should first educate Ran Xin well and don't let her make mistakes again. I will find someone else to take care of the birthday."
She spoke gently, but in fact she was secretly mocking the Song family.
As for the other person she mentioned, it was obvious that it was Chu Weiyue!
Song was furious and wanted to tear Chu Weiyue to pieces, but she had no choice but to suppress her anger and nod in agreement.
"Mother-in-law, you are absolutely right. I have the same idea. Why not let Weiyue do it? Weiyue is very capable and is worse than me. Letting her do it will definitely be a great success!"
Then, she changed the subject: "But Weiyue has to run the shop and manage the household affairs recently. She is too busy. I am afraid that she will get tired. Why not let Chu Ranxin run the business with her?"
Although she hated Chu Ranxin, she also knew that Chu Ranxin also disliked Chu Weiyue. Having a common enemy, they could be friends.
Thinking of Chu Ranxin's quiet appearance, grandma instantly had a favorable impression and nodded: "What you said is good, otherwise Wei Yue will be very busy, let's do it this way."
A smug smile appeared on Song's lips. She looked at Chu Weiyue mysteriously, then turned and left.
Chu Weiyue didn't take her seriously at all and snorted coldly. She wanted to see what tricks this woman could play!
Just as I returned to my yard, I saw Chu Ranxin coming with a list.
"Sister Weiyue, my aunt just informed me that she wanted me to help you with the birthday celebration. I thought about it for a long time and wrote down the things that need to be purchased. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, I will ask them to do it."
Her attitude was very gentle. She handed over a piece of paper. I picked it up and took a quick look. There was no big problem.
"Okay, just do as you wrote above. Make sure to write down all the expenses and income clearly to avoid any mistakes in the accounts. As for the layout of the mansion, I'll leave it to you. Since Song personally proposed you, it proves that you are very capable. I believe you will not let everyone down."
With just these few words, all the trivial matters were put on Chu Ranxin's head.
There was no trace of anger in Chu Ranxin's eyes. Instead, he agreed with a smile.
As he watched her leaving, the smile in Chu Weiyue's eyes gradually faded.
She always felt that Chu Ranxin was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird about her. As time goes by, she knew what she wanted to do.
She had just crossed out a few items on the list. Those items were relatively expensive, and she didn't trust Chu Ranxin, so she went to buy them herself.
We first went to a jewelry store. My grandma likes yellow clothes, so naturally we had to match them with festive colors. Yellow and red are the most matching colors.
Chu Weiyue took a fancy to a set of red and yellow jewelry. Wearing it on her breasts would surely make her glow with glory and bring back some of the charm of her youth.
After buying the jewelry and going out, I suddenly saw a child in blue clothes.
Isn’t this the dress you gave away last time?
Seeing him running forward, Chu Weiyue immediately followed him out, came to the entrance of the alley, and successfully blocked his way.
"you……"
Chu Weiyue was completely dumbfounded. This child was not the same one he had seen last time.
"Little brother, where did you get this clothes? Who gave it to you?" she asked depressedly.
This dress was custom-made by her personally. No matter the style or texture, there will never be a second one identical to her.
The little boy blinked and shook his head innocently: "Sister, what are you talking about? This dress was given to me by my mother."
"Do you have other brothers or sisters in your family?" Feeling that something was strange, she took his little hand, squatted down and asked.
The little boy waited for Chu Weiyue vigilantly, thought for a moment and shook his head again: "I don't know..."
"I don't think you're stupid, how could you not even know if you have a brother or a younger brother? You must be lying! Tell me quickly, do you have a brother or a younger brother? This dress is definitely not yours!"
Chu Weiyue grabbed him and refused to let him leave. The little boy struggled hard but to no avail.
At this moment, a woman holding a basket walked out from the side. Chu Weiyue recognized her as the one who went to the store to buy clothes last time.
Seeing this, she walked over quickly and came to the child.
"My dear girl, we meet again. Please don't laugh at me. This child is born timid. No matter what others ask him, he doesn't know the answer. I'm so sorry that he ran away in the blink of an eye just now."
The woman smiled gently, immediately pulled the child to her side, and scolded him softly.
"You kid, why did you run away without waiting for your mother to come back? If you dare to run away again, your mother will not forgive you."
She gently rubbed the child's head, and the child shrank behind her, lowered his head and said nothing.
Chu Weiyue found it strange that the child did not even hold the woman's clothes and seemed to be very distant from her, yet the relationship between the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time.
For a moment, it felt even stranger.
Smiling at Chu Weiyue, the woman pulled the child and turned to leave.
They had just taken a few steps when Chu Weiyue quickly caught up with them and stood in front of them.
