My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Chapter 40 Cause and Effect
  It wasn't until her hands were tied that Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief, and Rumeng said: "Thank you very much, Miss! I will never let down the trust of the Miss! I am willing to work hard for the Miss!"

What a good Lan Tao, but he almost caused her to lose her life. It was a good death and a deserved death!

Fortunately, the eldest lady is easy to fool, and Jin Xia is also a fool. Otherwise, I might have followed in the footsteps of Lan Tao today!

Then, I heard Su Qingmo say: "Go back and rest. I'll come to the house to wait on you early tomorrow morning."

Ziteng was startled after hearing this.

The eldest lady asked her to come into the house and wait on her?
  In other words, do you want to reuse yourself? !

Zi Teng was overjoyed and secretly thought that she was a blessing in disguise. From now on, she would be the eldest lady's confidant just like Jin Xia!

Oh, this young lady is really stupid!
  But there was a look of gratitude on his face and he said: "Yes, thank you very much for your concern, Miss. I will leave this servant."

After Ziteng left, Jinxia curled her lips and said, "It's so shameless. How dare she say that she has never done anything sorry to the lady?"

When did they go out at night, there was no letter from Wisteria?

Who else spread the skin-removing powder than Wisteria?

And today’s peacock-patterned dress, and the person shouting in the guest house that he’s excited, is clearly Wisteria!

Jin Xia looked disgusted, and then said: "Miss, how good was my performance just now?"

Su Qingmo looked back at Jinxia and said calmly: "I'm afraid it's just Ziteng who is stupid."

Jin Xia was furious when she heard this and said, "Miss, I don't want to care about you anymore!"

After saying that, he actually left the room directly without knowing why.

Seeing this, Su Qingmo couldn't help but chuckle. She had forgotten that this girl had quite a bad temper.

Then thinking about what happened today, Su Qingmo's eyes gradually turned cold.

That day, when the housekeeper handed the dress to her, she knew that it was not given to her by Mrs. Xia.

because
  Mrs. Xia doesn’t know her birthday at all!
  She only met Madam Xia once, and the deal between them had been completed. She treated Madam Xia, and Madam Xia recognized her identity as her 'adopted daughter', and they both got what they needed.

Mrs. Xia is so smart that she would not interfere in her affairs, so how could she send her a birthday gift?

Then who is pretending to be the Ningguo Duke...

Don't even think about it.

So she asked Jinxia to check which clothing shop this dress came from.

That day…

At night, most shops were closed, but Mingxu Clothing Shop was still flickering with faint candlelight. Wen Niang was flipping through the account books randomly, but she felt uneasy and had no intention of checking the accounts.

At this moment, Su Qingmo walked in with Jin Xia.

"You two girls, this is the shop." Wen Niang said, "The embroider girl has already left, why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"

"Are you Wen Niang?" Su Qingmo said.

Wen Niang was startled, then nodded and said, "Girl, are you looking for me? I wonder who you are?"

Su Qingmo said: "I am the new owner of Mingxu Clothing Shop!"

Wen Niang was stunned and looked at Su Qingmo in surprise. She obviously didn't expect that her new owner would be a beautiful woman who looked like she had just grown hair!

The owner told her with joy early in the morning that Mingxu Clothing Shop had been sold and asked her to wait here for the new owner tonight.

Su Qingmo spent a lot of money and bought it for three times the price. At such a price, it was more than enough to open a larger clothing store! So the former owner signed the house deed on the spot, smiling from ear to ear, as if he was afraid that Su Qingmo would regret it.

But Wen Niang was worried all day long.

As an emperor and a courtier, the new owner has arrived. It is still unclear whether she will continue to use her. When she thinks of her husband at home.
  Wen Niang became more and more anxious.

"Dongdong's house!" At this moment, Wen Niang said nervously: "Quickly enter the house."

After welcoming Su Qingmo and Jin Xia into the house, Wen Niang closed the door of the shop.

After giving them a cup of tea, Wen Niang said, "I wonder what your surname is, Miss. Do you want to check the account books tonight? I only have this month's books here, and all the past ones are here."

"You don't need to be nervous," Su Qingmo interrupted, "Sit down, I'm just here to ask some questions."

Wen Niang sat down carefully, but she just sat aside.

"How many people are there in this Mingxu Clothing Shop?" Su Qingmo said casually.

But Wen Niang thought she had too many people, so she said uneasily: "Including me, there are a total of thirteen embroiderers, and there are two cleaning ladies."

She put her hands on her knees, her expression careful and wary.

"Yeah," Su Qingmo nodded and said, "From this month on, your monthly silver will be increased by ten taels, and everyone else's monthly silver will be increased by five taels each."

"Add ten taels?" Wen Niang was startled, thinking she heard wrongly.

"What?" Su Qingmo asked confused.

"This..." Wen Niang shook her head and said, "I'm afraid this is too much."

Then her moon silver is only thirty taels, and she is the number one embroiderer of Canru Clothes Shop. I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.

"If you take care of my clothes shop attentively, there won't be many of these," Su Qingmo said, "And..."

Wen Niang listened carefully to Su Qingmo's explanation, but heard her continue: "Here is one hundred taels, which is the monthly silver I will advance to you for the next three months."

"This" Wen Niang looked at the brocade box Jin Xia placed on the table in disbelief, but there was a desire that could not be concealed in her eyes.

She needs the money!
  "But" Wen Niang hesitated for a long time and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, what are you doing?"

"My surname is Su," Su Qingmo said quietly: "I heard from Dong Liu's family that your husband seems to be ill and needs Danhong and Ginger Ginseng to cure him. This money is just an advance payment to you. After all, it belongs to you. Money, so you don’t have to hesitate, just take it, unless you don’t want to do it in the next three months.”

"No no!" Wen Niang said hurriedly, her body trembling slightly.

Her husband was indeed ill for nearly half a year, but Danhong and Jiang were together worth more than a hundred taels of silver. How could she get it out?
  She went to her former boss many times to get some monthly money in advance, but all she got in exchange was a few cynicisms and an impatient question about whether to do it or not.

But now, this new owner, whom he has never met before, is actually
  "Miss Su," Wen Niang choked up and said, "Wen Niang is just a servant, why are you doing this?" "It's not like she signed a deed of sale and was sold by the nanny, so how can she become a servant?" Su Qingmo said: "Just do things with your heart."

Wen Niang lowered her head, fearing that Su Qingmo would see her uncontrollable tears.

He nodded fiercely and said, "Don't worry, Miss Su!"

Then, I heard Su Qingmo say: "One more thing, did someone come to buy a peacock feather forged skirt a few days ago?"

Wen Niang calmed down, suppressed the soreness in her nose, nodded and said: "Yes, Gui Niang and I embroidered that dress together. It's a pity that the style is so beautiful, that person had to use ordinary Fenglian Brocade".

Su Qingmo said with a smile: "Make me one exactly the same, using Shu wood brocade and Yunzhong brocade."

After hearing this, Wen Niang was slightly shocked, but she also knew that she shouldn't ask, so she hurriedly said: "Wen Niang understands, I will finish the embroidery tomorrow. Should I send it to you or not?"

"Don't worry, I will pick it up in two days. You don't have to come to the clothing store tomorrow. Go prepare the medicinal materials first."

If we rush to get rid of her clothes, Mr. Wen Niang's illness will be delayed for another day.

How could Wen Niang not understand Su Qingmo's intentions? The tears she had finally held back wet her eyes again.

He quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Okay."

Then, she embroidered the peacock feather dress herself, stitch by stitch, without any carelessness. On the third day, Su Qingmo came to pick up the dress in person.

"Miss Su, I have embroidered this dress. The style is exactly the same as the one the man bought. The fabric is the Shu wood brocade and Yunzhong brocade you told me!" Wen Niang carefully handed the dress over.

"How is your husband's illness?" Su Qingmo said quietly, taking off the dress and letting Jin Xia put it away.

Wen Niang said gratefully: "Ms. Su's great kindness, Wen Niang can't repay her. My husband, he has been much better."

"That's good. It's not a difficult thing for me. You don't have to worry about it," Su Qingmo said.

Wen Niang was a little excited and said: "But Yu Wen Niang is the life-saving grace!"

Su Qingmo looked at Wen Niang and said, "Then if I ask you to do something difficult, will you be willing?"

Wen Niang said without thinking: "Miss Su, please tell me, Wen Niang will do her best!"

Su Qingmo raised her hand to interrupt her and said, "You can make a choice after you listen!"

However, Wen Niang secretly made up her mind that no matter what Su Qingmo asked her to do, she would definitely do it without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, I heard Su Qingmo say: "If I asked you to lie in front of the current prince, would you be able to do it?"

Wen Niang was stunned after hearing this. She really didn't understand something.

For a long time, she repeated Su Qingmo's words in a low voice several times before she finally understood.

"The current prince?" Wen Niang's eyes widened.

Putting aside the fact that she lied and panicked, but with her status, she couldn't see the prince at all!

Su Qingmo knew what she was thinking and continued: "In two days, there will be a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate the birthday of the fourth princess. The prince will definitely be there. Someone may call you there that day, and the prince will definitely ask you some questions. You Are you willing to answer as I told you?"

Su Qingmo asked Feng Qingyundan, as if she didn't care whether Wen Niang agreed.

Wen Niang opened her lips in surprise. After a long time, she finally figured out something.

Prime Minister's Mansion.
  Su Mansion!

The new owner in front of me is named Su!

As far as she knew, there were two young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, both of the same age, but they were related to the prince...

Could it be that the person in front of me is Miss Su Er?

Su Qingmo tapped her fingers on the table and said, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family, Su Qingmo."

Wen Niang was shocked.

Su Qingmo is Miss Su who just returned to Beijing!
  After a long time, as if she had made up her mind, Wen Niang said firmly: "Wen Niang must remember Miss Su's instructions and will never ruin Miss Su's affairs!"

She doesn't care whether Su Qingmo is the eldest young lady or the second young lady, or what she wants to do. She only knows that Su Qingmo saved her husband-in-law who was in danger and saved her family!
  Su Qingmo smiled: "Very good!"

Then, on the day of the banquet, that is, today, what Su Qingmo wore was actually the dress she made herself, that is, the one from Shu Mu Brocade and Yunzhong Brocade.

Then when she went back to her room to change clothes, Su Qingmo saw Ziteng cleaning the Bikong Courtyard, and sneered in her heart, she never saw this maid cleaning the courtyard on weekdays.

Wherever there is an abnormality, there must be a demon!
  So Su Qingmo didn't give the one she replaced to Ziteng at all, but gave the lotus brocade dress that Su Xinyan gave her pretending to be Mrs. Xia to Ziteng!

She also deliberately told Zi Teng to be more careful, making Zi Teng think that she cherished this dress very much.

Everything was under Su Qingmo's control. The only thing she didn't expect was...
  Ning Zhan would believe in himself without any hesitation!

He defended him in public without any intention of avoiding suspicion!

In order to win over the Duke of Ning, Ning Zhan.
  How could it be possible to achieve this?
  Or.
  The reason why he approached me was not for Duke Ning's mansion!

Thinking like this, Su Qingmo frowned slightly. She couldn't tell whether it was uneasiness, guilt or other emotions in her heart.

Just then, the door creaked.

When Su Qingmo came to her senses, it was Jin Xia who was back.

A scent of fragrance hit her face, and she saw Jin Xia placing many oil paper packages in front of Su Qingmo.

Opening them one by one, there are just sesame rolls and candied fruit cakes, and even eight-treasure duck.

Su Qingmo rubbed her forehead and said helplessly: "Are you planning to covet me as revenge?"

After saying that, Su Qingmo picked up a sesame roll and put it in her mouth.

Jinxia curled her lips and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Miss, you are so unreserved! These are very expensive!"

Su Qingmo smiled after hearing this, her eyes full of tenderness.
