Chapter 47: Admit your mistakes
Su Chengying must stop this.

But she couldn't show up.

"Go and call Mother Zhang." Su Chengying looked at Jin Han at the door and said.

Jin Han nodded, turned around and left.

Mother Zhang came very quickly. After Su Chengying asked people to sit down, she said apologetically, "Mother Zhang must have seen what happened just now. I didn't want to cause worries to the old lady, but the old lady knew about it from the sidelines." Worried, please ask Mother Zhang to report to the old lady, the matter has been taken care of."

Mother Zhang looked at Su Chengying's worried look and was not suspicious. She agreed and left.

In the main courtyard, Lady Liu was apologizing to the old lady.

"It's all my fault that my daughter-in-law didn't take good care of her. She forgot that the shops for Her Royal Highness are being taken care of by her second younger brother and sister."

The old lady looked at the eldest lady in silence, her expression seemed thoughtful.

The eldest lady Liu lowered her head lower and said, "I heard that Sister Lu had a very unpleasant quarrel with Her Royal Highness the Princess in the shop yesterday. My daughter-in-law didn't want to worry the old lady, so she took matters into her own hands and didn't say anything. I think something like that happened later..."

The old lady's heart sank. If this was really the case, Su Chengying might not have deliberately targeted the second bedroom yesterday!If that were the case, how could she safely hand over the Dongfang family's property to Su Chengying!
"Old slave, please give my regards to the old lady." Mother Zhang came in at this time.

The solemnity on the old lady's face disappeared in an instant. She looked at Zhang's mother and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhang's mother came to the old lady's side and glanced at the old lady who was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that the old lady had no intention of inviting people out, she told her what had just happened in Jiaziyuan, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has grounded Aunt Su, but she was still worried that the old lady would be worried if she knew about it, so she asked the old slave to report it. .”

The old lady didn't expect that Su Chengying could still think of herself, and her dull mind felt a little better.

"I heard that you went to the shop with Princess Shengtang yesterday?" the old lady asked seemingly unintentionally.

Zhang's mother was always loyal to the old lady, so she quickly explained everything that happened in the shop, including the current business conditions and reputations of several shops.

The old lady became furious instantly.

She looked at the eldest lady with a worried expression, "Is what Mother Zhang said true?"

Madam Liu came to file a complaint, but she didn’t expect that she would now be the defendant!

Faced with the sudden appearance of Zhang's mother, Liu was caught off guard and could only bite the bullet and said, "Dongfang's shop mainly deals with wealthy families in Beijing. Those shops are in remote locations, and the people around them naturally Unavoidable..."

However, the old lady did not believe what the eldest lady said, and said perfunctorily, "In this case, there is no need to build a second bedroom. From now on, the shops will be left to the Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is resigning." Mrs. Liu clenched her hands tightly, stood up and left with great reluctance. She waited until she left the main courtyard before she took a deep breath of air and her face became extremely cold.

Why did Mother Zhang appear so promptly!
In the main courtyard, the old lady looked at Zhang's mother and said, "In the future, let the shopkeepers come directly to report anything. This will also make it easier for Princess Tang to manage the shop with peace of mind."

Zhang’s mother nodded, “Yes.”

Looking at the back of Zhang's mother leaving, the old lady pinched her eyebrows tiredly. The Liu family was dependent on Concubine Liu Ren. The second prince born to Concubine Liu Ren was in his prime, so she had to give in a little bit. I had to be a little on guard.

When the late emperor married her into the Duke's Palace, it was to pave the way for the current emperor. The old lady was loyal to the late emperor and was now the emperor, so she naturally did not want anyone in the Duke's Palace to participate in the struggle for imperial power.

Su Chengying naturally understood the old lady's thoughts. Although she was an outsider to the Duke's Palace, if she could compete with the eldest lady Liu, the eldest lady Liu would definitely restrain herself.

In this way, the government maintains a balance.Su Chengying accepted the old lady's overtures and immediately asked Mother Zhang to inform several shopkeepers about the news. Unexpectedly, an hour after the news was handed out, shopkeepers came to the door.

It was Zhang Ben and Huang Qi who came.

In fact, they don't want to come, but they have no choice but to come.

Although the shop has publicized its slogan of treating people at affordable prices, these shops have such a bad reputation that they smell bad even in the wind, and no one is willing to come in the first day they open.

Forget it, other shops regard them as competitive enemies. One family has a boy stand at the door of their house, complaining bitterly about how they used to charge high prices without caring about the life and death of the people.

After all this tossing and turning...

There is no chance of whitewashing, but there is a possibility of getting darker.

After hearing this, Su Chengying glanced at Zhang Ben and Huang Qi, "Do you think what they said is wrong?"

Zhang Ben and Huang Qi looked at each other, and neither of them could say a word "no".

Su Chengying stood up in silence, looked at them levelly and said, "Since it was your right to choose how to run the shop at the beginning, no matter what the consequences are, you have to accept it. The wood has become the boat and the rice has become the cooking pot. Why should you expect the people you have hurt to bear the consequences for you?"

Zhang Ben and Huang Qi lowered their heads and could only look at their toes in embarrassment.

It was at this time that a pair of light blue satin embroidered shoes appeared in their sights.

They raised their heads and saw a faint smile on Su Chengying's lips, "It's not more valuable than having no mistakes, but it's more valuable than being able to correct them. Maybe it will take a little longer. How about we do it together?"

Zhang Ben and Huang Qi just stared blankly at the young woman in front of them. They were already in their thirties, and their old faces turned red uncontrollably.

When Su Chengying sent away the two shopkeepers, the sky was already dark.

Qiu Wen watched Su Chengying enter the door and hurriedly went inside to greet her, "Your Highness, dinner is ready."

Su Chengying nodded and walked in the door with exhaustion all over her body. She saw Dongfang Yuebai leaning crookedly on the soft wall inside, swinging the fan in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Su Chengying was indeed a little surprised that this person was here, but she was really hungry and sat at the round table. But just as she was about to pick up the rice bowl in front of her, she saw a dark shadow coming over her.

When she raised her head, she saw Dongfang Yuebai sitting opposite her and picking up the chopsticks.

Only then did Su Chengying realize that there was a pair of dishes and chopsticks placed opposite her.

and so……

Is this person waiting for her to eat?

"Do you need me to feed you?" Dongfang Yuebai raised his eyebrows.

Su Chengying, "..."

Seeing that Dongfang Yuebai had already started eating, Su Chengying had nothing to be embarrassed about and picked up the rice bowl in front of her. However, just after taking a few bites, someone came in and reported that the eldest lady had gone to the second lady's place.
