Ji Yunxi looked at everyone's reactions, listened quietly to Qing Lian's words, and then said, "As long as the store is open, there's no reason to refuse customers. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Qinglian raised his head: "But——"
Ji Yunxi looked at him with a long gaze: "Just a few days."
Isn’t the purpose of the Fifth Prince and Xing Shuyue to close her cloth shop?
Then she did as they wished and closed it herself.
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and curled her lips. "You don't have to worry. You haven't had a break in over a month, so you can take advantage of the closure to rest. The store is running low on supplies, so you can use this time to catch up. I think some of the suggestions that the managers and I made are pretty good. You can work on them together."
Everyone looked at each other, still somewhat confused.
Just now, Ji Yunxi said that she was going to close the store, and they felt a surge of fear in their hearts.
Closing the four cloth shops meant some losses to Ji Yunxi, who had a wealthy family, but it was actually nothing.
But for them, it is a place where they can settle down and make a living.
Ji Yunxi looked at them and continued to comfort them: "What happened is also a lesson for us. You need to be more cautious in the future. There is no need to worry too much about this time. A blessing in disguise."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It was also from this time that they truly linked their lives with the survival of the cloth shop.

The night is deep and the dew is heavy. It is already September.
The weather was getting colder, and the wind blew in the evening, causing the night fragrance workers to tighten their clothes.
He yawned and went to the backyard of his house, intending to take a bucket and push the cart to collect night-blooming incense from house to house.
Suddenly, the night incense worker stopped.
He narrowed his eyes and quickly walked to a corner of the yard.
That was always where he piled up the night-blooming incense he collected. He hadn't had time to process the night-blooming incense he collected last night, so he piled it here.
But now, several barrels are missing! !
He immediately cursed: "Who is so blind as to give birth to a child and even steal Yexiang!"
The night incense worker cursed and pushed his cart along the deserted streets at night.
But in Changxingfang, two blocks away from here, the family living next to the elm tree is not at peace tonight.
The fifth prince seemed to have guessed that Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian would not let them succeed easily, so he sent assassins and death squads one after another.
The family had run a noodle shop for almost ten years and was doing well. They were also lucky enough to have bought the house from a man who was eager to sell it.
The yard of the house is quite large, and the old woman uses it to raise chickens.
Customers at noodle shops usually order eggs. If you raise your own chickens, you don't have to buy eggs. You can also kill the chickens and make chicken noodles.
At this moment, countless roosters and hens in the yard were trembling and crowding into the corner.
These small animals have always been the most sensitive to danger.
In the yard, more than a dozen men in black were guarding outside the room, guarding the room as if it were an impregnable fortress.
The Fifth Prince's men came in one after another.
These secret guards and death warriors are quite skilled in martial arts and are on par with Wu Weian's dozen or so men in black.
But the Fifth Prince sent many more people. If there were only these dozen or so men in black, they would be defeated sooner or later and allow the Fifth Prince's men to break in.
But they have snow bamboo.
Xuezhu was dressed in black and mixed in with the crowd. This time he didn't have to hold back and could sweep people's heads openly.
The mask covered the head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Xuezhu's eyes were extremely bright as he looked at the assassins in the yard with excitement, just like he usually looked at the melon seed shells spit out by the Poison Lady.
Xuezhu couldn't help sweeping her head.
He had been fasting for too long and had been suppressed for too long, and all of it was released tonight.
Moreover, for more than a month, he had been helping dye cloth in his wife's cloth shop during the day. He dyed the cloth very carefully, often keeping an eye on the cloth to see if even a small dot was not dyed properly. This trained his eyesight. He immediately noticed the necks of these people, which was the easiest place to dye.
With one cut, it was neither too much nor too little, just right.
The other dozen or so men in black were quite relaxed, occasionally picking off a few fish that slipped through their nets.
They didn't dare to go up and compete with Xuezhu for the heads, because Xuezhu would get angry if they took too many heads.
They were completely unable to defeat Xue Zhu. They couldn't even withstand a single blow from Xue Zhu.
After all, this is someone that the young master has kept by his side and personally cultivated for several years.
Xuezhu is already so terrifying, how good is the young master's martial arts?
It’s a pity that over the years, the young master has rarely done anything himself and rarely participated in these matters.
Naturally, they didn't know that their young master was also here.
But he was in the room, pouring shit on this family.
Yuan Guanshi was also there.
Unlike Xuezhu, who was specifically responsible for cleaning heads, Yuan Guanshi only did two things tonight.
First, steal the night-scented incense barrel.
The second thing was to tie up the family, gag them, cover their eyes, and throw them into a water tank.
Then, he looked at his young master, pouring shit on these people one spoonful at a time.
Manager Yuan bent his elbows and pushed the cotton stuffing in his nose back in through the mask.
There was absolutely no movement outside the yard.
After Xuezhu finished cleaning the head, she joined everyone in moving the corpses and mopping up the bloodstains in the yard.
The dozen or so men in black were very upset. Every time they mopped the floor, they would be stared at by Xuezhu with a fierce look.
It's difficult.
They all expressed their feelings.
Round pipes are more difficult.
The young master was happy with the watering, so he carried these people to the well in the yard, poured water on them one bucket at a time, and then returned the night-scented bucket to them.
When Wu Weian passed by the yard, he saw the densely packed group of chickens.
I have to say, this family raises chickens very well, and each one is very fat.
Wu Weian picked out a male and a female, stuffed them into his nightgown, and returned to the Wu family.
The two chickens, a male and a female, didn't dare to move at all. They just stayed in his nightgown with their wings tucked in.
