Chapter 168: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises (Update 1)
"What did you say? Ye Chutang kicked you out!?"
Ye Heng smashed the teacup in his hand, shocked and angry.
"She's really getting bolder!"
Fang Xuran looked indignant.
"Who said it wasn't? You've been taking care of the teahouse's business for the past few years, and she came over here today to check the accounts, provoking me and even kicking me out. It's obvious that she was targeting you!"
He was the shopkeeper appointed by Ye Heng, and anyone could guess that he was definitely on Ye Heng's side.
Ye Chutang's move was a slap in the face to Ye Heng, and it was clear that he wanted to assert his power!
Ye Heng was annoyed and couldn't help but scold: "You too! She provoked you and you jumped into the trap. You are asking for trouble!"
If Fang Xuran hadn't taken the initiative to ask this, Ye Chutang would probably have been in trouble.
The result is what it is now!
Fang Xuran looked embarrassed and very regretful.
"Yes, I didn't think it through. I thought she was only 17 or 18 years old and she must know nothing about business. I didn't expect that she would actually find a problem!"
After leaving, Fang Xuran realized that Ye Chutang had intended to kick him out from the very beginning, but it was too late when he realized it.
Ye Shixian sat aside and sneered when she heard this: "Manager Fang, you are a little careless. Don't you think that my cousin was exiled for several years and finally returned to Beijing safely? Of course, she has some ability. You were so careless and underestimated the enemy, and you were tricked by her. You can't blame others."
Fang Xuran's face turned red and white.
"So, what should we do next?"
He was enjoying a very comfortable position as a shopkeeper. If he really lost it, what would he do in the future?
Ye Heng thought for a long time with a gloomy face, and suddenly asked: "After you left, have they stayed in the teahouse?"
Fang Xuran was a little embarrassed and lowered his voice: "This... I don't know..."
There is no point in sending anyone over now. Ye Chutang has the house deed and the land deed in his hand. Fang Xuran left on his own in public. No matter how you look at it, you can't find any fault with Ye Chutang.
Even more troublesome is...
"You said, can she understand the account book?" Ye Heng frowned.
Fang Xuran was dissatisfied and resentful towards Ye Chutang, so he spoke in a bad tone when he brought it up.
"How could a girl like her really understand the account book of a tea house? I guess she only knows a little bit about it because she happened to meet the tea merchant. But those are just the basics. She definitely doesn't understand more!"
Ye Heng felt relieved after hearing what he heard and it made sense.
But he had suffered a lot at the hands of Ye Chutang during this period, so he didn't dare to look down on her like before. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Besides the tea house, what about other shops?"
Fang Xuran was stunned. "Other shops? Why, do you think she has the ability to find all the troubles in these shops?"
How is this possible?
You have to know that the businesses of these shops are different, so it would be good enough if Ye Chutang could check one or two of them.
Ye Shixian sneered, "Even if she doesn't have the ability to investigate everything, today's incident at the teahouse alone is enough to make her stand out. It was rumored before that she fell off a cliff and was seriously injured. I think she's in good health, but she's been back for only two days and she's already making trouble again."
"Forget it. She won't cause any trouble if left alone. Let's just ignore her for now."
Before Ye Heng gave those account books out, he had already made all the necessary preparations and felt confident.
Even if Ye Chutang could find some faults, he would at most think that the shopkeeper deliberately falsified the accounts to enrich himself.
It has nothing to do with him anymore.
Fang Xuran panicked: "Sir, do you mean... just let her do whatever she wants?"
What should he do then?
How could Ye Heng not see what he was thinking?
"Go home and hide away for a while, and we'll talk about it after these few days. How can she take care of the tea house business alone with several young brothers and sisters?"
Fang Xuran was still a little unsure, but he didn't dare to go against Ye Heng's wishes, so he had to agree: "Yes."
…
After Fang Xuran left, Ye Shixian said, "Dad, did you see that? That Ye Chutang, if we don't bother her, she will bother us! Seeing how well prepared she is, she may have been planning this for a long time!"
Ye Heng said with a gloomy face: "She now has the support of the Princess's Mansion and the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion. No wonder she is so presumptuous."
Ye Shixian felt very upset when she mentioned this matter.
"She's just lucky, and she has a lot of evil intentions. If she didn't have some tricks, how could she have raised those burdens?"
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Dad, the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is coming soon, and my daughter wants to buy a piece of jewelry."
Ye Heng frowned: "Don't you have a lot?"
"Those are either too cheap to be presentable, or they have been worn before. I heard that the specifications of this palace banquet are more grand than the previous polo match. How can my daughter attend in such a shabby way and make others laugh at our Ye family?"
If other ladies and daughters saw this, who knows how they would laugh at her!
The lower your situation, the more you cannot afford to be inferior to others!
Ye Heng understood quickly: "It's just a piece of jewelry, choose it yourself and buy it directly."
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a box from the small cabinet at the back, and took out a few silver bills from it.
"You can use these first, but remember to keep a low profile." Ye Heng reminded.
Ye Shixian took a quick glance and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
One thousand taels!
"Thank you, Dad!"
She already knew that her father had quite a bit of savings, but she still didn't expect that he would spend so much at once!
Ye Heng looked relieved: "This is a rare opportunity. You can clean it up later. Murong Ye will definitely like it when he sees it."
His daughter is extremely beautiful. As long as she can marry Murong Ye, the entire Ye family will benefit from it in the future.
Ye Shixian's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Dad, actually I——"
"Master! It's bad!"
The housekeeper rushed in, looking panicked.
"The case of Lord Han Tong has been sentenced! August 16! Behead him!"
