Wen Feng limped out of the door and never came back. He left a message saying that he would stay in the Wen family's house in Qianjiang for a few days.

After Mrs. Wu found out, she quickly sent daily necessities and a pretty maid over.

When the old lady heard it, she snorted and ignored it.

Wen Qian had to give an account, and Song Shang had indeed sent someone over, three well-behaved men and one woman. They looked like they were at least managers, not clerks. They all acted very attentive...

This is quite a big deal! Wen Qian felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show it.

Yuan didn't want to see this, so she took Wen Huan out to visit. Anyway, it had already been handed over to her husband, so he could do whatever he wanted with it! Wen Qian decided to cut the Gordian knot with a strong knife, and just hand it over no matter what.

But what surprised him was that Wen Yu knew exactly what to do! She was completely familiar with it and knew what the key points were! He had a lot of thoughts and felt embarrassed, so he simply crossed his legs, drank tea, took a book, and sat aside without even reading it.

After a short while, the accounts and documents were handed over.

The old lady didn't show up, so Nanny Song led the others to open the storeroom. It was obvious that it hadn't been touched for some years, and it was covered with thick dust and had a strong musty smell.

Wen Yu was very easy to talk to. She simply looked through the box and signed. Then she changed her lock. With a "click", the things inside belonged to Wen Yu.

It took less than half a day to submit everything. I had written the list in duplicate and was ready to sign...

Wen Qian thought: This time, let's settle this "father-daughter relationship" once and for all! From now on, we will be far apart and never see each other again.

In order to relieve his burden, he still gave Wen Yu more than 20,000 taels of silver! "Shopkeeper, manager, please stay where you are. The people on this list are still needed by my father. You should train your own people as soon as possible and replace them. You can handle the rest yourself.

Your father is leaving soon. If you want to see these managers and shopkeepers, please tell the chief steward in front and he will arrange it. You should keep this 10,000 taels of silver. From now on, your mother's dowry will be handed over to you. If you agree, please sign it. "

"Yes, father." Wen Yu signed without hesitation.

Wen Qian looked at this eldest daughter who was so calm and beautiful... He was emotionally unstable and his voice was a little trembling: "After your father arrives in Beijing, he will definitely be very busy. Everything at home will be handed over to your grandmother. Your grandmother will make the decision on everything. Your father still has some things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Yes, father." He bowed gently, but didn't say much.

After picking up something, Wen Qian turned around and left. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't help but look back. His eldest daughter was already discussing something with a few people...

I feel a little sour, a little painful, and a little lost.

Turn around and leave, completely letting go of everything about Wen Yu! ...

In a corner of the garden, Hong Xing'er had just received ten taels of silver from Aunt Xu.

Ten taels!

This is a reward from the Madam! Before she could even start to exclaim in admiration, Aunt Xu asked again, "What do you think of what I said last time?"

"Ah?! What..." Hong Xing was stunned by the question.

"Are you playing dumb in front of me again?" Madam Xu snatched the silver back.

"Ah! Ma'am! Hong Xing'er knows she was wrong, she knows she was wrong." Hong Xing was shocked to see the silver she had just earned fly away.

Madam Xu snorted, "Don't you know what day it is today? Don't you know what the masters are doing over there? How dare a girl force her father and parents to this point! If she wasn't afraid that it would get out and affect the reputation of the Wen family..." She had a look of hatred on her face.

Hong Xing looked at Yin Zi and nodded in agreement. After Madam Xu had vented her anger, she asked, "Madam, what do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean I told you to do?!" Aunt Xu couldn't believe it. "Hong Xing'er, I didn't expect you to be so confused! Is this what you should do?"

"Yes, yes, Madam, Hong Xing'er said the wrong thing again. Last time, after you finished speaking, Hong Xing'er thought about it carefully and did something. I just don't know why Madam didn't react..."

She had already told the lady about the young lady's private meeting with Mr. Song Wu, but the lady didn't respond at all!

Is this her fault? "Who is Madam? She is noble and elegant, kind-hearted, and is destined to be a royal lady. How could she ruin the eldest daughter for this matter?! Humph, if it were up to me, I would at least send her to the temple, even if she didn't live. Madam kept persuading me, I was really mad!"

Hong Xing'er said, "It's a pity to waste this opportunity. Mammy, it's not like Hong Xing'er did nothing..."

"Well, that's why I spent so much time speaking good things about you to the Madam!" Aunt Xu returned the silver to Hong Xing'er.

Hong Xing'er held it tightly, she was so happy to get it back.

"Ah, I watched my wife grow up, and I've never seen her so frustrated. I feel so bad. I can see that there are some things that we really can't wait for my wife to tell us to do. We should take the initiative for our wives and for ourselves."

"Mammy, Hong Xing'er has the intention, but I really don't know how to do it. Please teach me, Mammy!"

"To the eldest girl, I am an outsider. If I want to do something, it will cause a lot of trouble. Besides, people will definitely suspect that it was the wife's idea. So I really can't interfere. But you are different. You are by the girl's side!"

Hong Xing'er nodded: That's right.

"So, it depends on you. Hong Xing'er, I won't hide it from you. I told you all this without my wife's knowledge. But I have to keep my word in front of my wife. It's enough to save face! Now, it depends on you! If you provide useful information, you can get money. But if..."

She leaned close to Hong Xing and said mysteriously, "You can take care of the eldest girl..." She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll tell my wife to transfer you to the second girl. When the master gets promoted, the second girl will definitely have a good marriage. When she gets married, you will be a dowry maid. In the future, you will either be a concubine or marry a steward in a high-ranking family!"

"Ah?!" Hong Xing'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. Is this true?

"Really?" she asked.

"When have I ever coaxed you about something I promised?!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Then I..." Hong Xing'er's face also became gloomy.

"Here..." Madam Xu took out a small bag. "If you are really capable, when you get the chance, put it in the food or water, and then... it will be over once and for all! When you and the old lady arrive in the capital, I swear to heaven that I will do what I promised you!" She smiled, as if she was telling a joke.

Hong Xing'er didn't think about anything, she quickly and tremblingly picked up the package and put it in her sleeve. Although it was very light, she felt like she was holding a mountain, because that was her future...

"I see."

"There's no rush for this. Just get it done before going to the capital. It will all come naturally once you find the right opportunity."

"Hmm..." Hong Xing'er was really nervous.

"If you decide to do this... nothing else matters. Don't ask around, don't contact me, in case you get exposed. You have to act hardworking and then..."

Hong Xing'er's heart was pounding. She was afraid and hesitant just now, but after listening to the nanny's instructions, some pictures appeared in her mind: the girl went back to the room, poured a cup of water from the teapot, and drank it directly! If... She squeezed the paper bag in her hand. It was really easy! But...

Aunt Xu seemed to know what she was thinking: "We need to be careful not to be discovered later, so we need to find a good opportunity. You have to know..." She rolled her eyes, "If a girl is gone, no one will tell others about it, it will affect the family's reputation! Think about it: Who in this family will care about her!"

"Hong Xing'er understands." Hong Xing'er said in a deep voice.

After finishing the discussion, Hong Xing'er walked back nervously, but she didn't notice that Xiao Ji, the "quasi-first-class maid", was following her with her fat body swaying and unusually light steps.

Hong Xing was about to enter the courtyard, but she stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then walked back.

Xiaoji got scared and dodged quickly, falling under the fence. It hurt so much, but he didn't dare to scream. He cursed in his heart: This bitch! She is sneaky and must be doing something bad.

I lay on the ground and watched quietly, and saw Hong Xing'er enter the Peony Pavilion next to me, then looked around, and even raised her head...

What is she looking at… Xiaoji stretched her neck as far as she could, but although she tried her best, there was not much improvement.

Hong Xing took something out of her body, then stood on the bench under the pillar of the pavilion, reached up on tiptoe, and put something on the beam above the pavilion.

Then he jumped down and looked around at the bottom.

He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he returned to the yard with peace of mind.

Xiaoji lay there motionless, squinting his eyes and thinking for a long time. Is this bitch hiding something? So mysterious, could it be gold? His eyes lit up...

She was patient. She lay there for a while, and when there was no movement, she stood up, flicked off the dirt, and waited for a while, swaying left and right.

Then he sneakily ran to the Peony Pavilion and looked up at the beam, but saw nothing.

She also stepped onto the bench and reached up.

It's out of reach...

This bitch!

…

Wen Yu has already collected the accounts. Although she learned a lot in her previous life, she has never actually managed it. How to deal with these industries still needs to be asked by Song Shang. Fortunately, she will go to Songjiazhuang in a few days. Take these with you, and then...

"Thank you for your hard work. I won't touch these accounts for now. You must have a rough idea after reading them. If your cousin asks, just tell him. In a few days, when my grandmother and I go to Songjiazhuang, I will ask my cousin for advice. In the next few days, I'll ask you to help check the shops and properties to make sure they don't mess up!"

"Yes, we know. Don't worry, Miss Wen!"

"From now on, we will never meet again!"

The heroine chuckled, "You think it's beautiful, but it's impossible! See you in Beijing! 　　 　 " (End of this chapter)
