Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 63 Knowing everything
Lin Miaofu looked at Mrs. Mei with some expectation. She looked at Lin Miaofu thoughtfully, then nodded to a few girls next to her and said, "You guys should talk about this first."

"Ah, grandma wants to be lazy again."

Miss Jiang Qi pouted and said, "Then let me ask one more question, what are the personalities of these three people?"

"My father is a shrewd businessman. The chief steward seems to be honest and very capable. As for the second steward, he also seems to be honest and honest, but his ability is not as good as that of the chief steward. He cannot negotiate some orders, but the chief steward can. "

Lin Miaofu didn't know how to say it, so she could only make one up.

"Businessmen are so cunning and shrewd. Is this really your family's story? If your father really did this, your family should not have many loyal friends."

The twelve girls looked at Lin Miaofu with burning eyes and said: "When you lie, you always have something in your hand... the handkerchief in your hand is almost torn by you."

Lin Miaofu looked down and saw that the sun could not help but turn slightly red just as she said.

"Even if you make up this story, it's not bad. Think about it carefully." Mrs. Mei took a sip of tea, the smile on her face did not diminish, and she slowly looked at everyone and said, "If it's good, I'll tell you what you just said." The money you lost to me will be returned to you."

"Grandma, you made your promise! Don't go back on it!"

Several people were chattering, but Lin Miaofu seemed particularly demure.

"Then let me go first. There is nothing wrong with what this businessman did. He did nothing wrong. It was because the second manager had a weak heart and was unwilling to stay under others for a long time, so he thought about making more plans for himself. But in fact, he It's okay to do this for yourself, but the most unlucky person is actually the chief manager, he is a bad person."

The seventh girl spoke clearly and logically, and everyone analyzed it: "But with his ability, it is a good thing to finally establish his own business."

Lin Miaofu's smile stopped, and she quickly asked another question: "What if the big housekeeper has a miserable life, is ostracized by everyone, and eventually starves to death on the street?"

"Then he has suffered a terrible disaster."

Miss Seven was a little speechless, and she couldn't tell right from wrong.

"Seventh sister, what you said is biased. All three of them are wrong. The businessman who is most wrong is the one who only listens and believes. The big shopkeeper didn't come forward to explain. As for the second shopkeeper, he is a bad person in all his actions. It’s all for their own benefit, regardless of others, which is really hateful.”

"It's hard to make money and kill birds for food." Lin Miaofu said softly: "Those things you do for your own benefit, aren't they the purest one?"

"Ah, I can tell. Miss Lin has an idea in her mind and wants us to guess it."

Twelve and Thirteen were still a little confused, so they chose to give up.

Mrs. Mei said: "Girl Lin, what do you think?"

"Perhaps...the businessman was worried that the reputation of the chief steward was too high, so all his subordinates listened to him, and since then they have sidelined the businessman and gained his property."

After finishing speaking, the whole hall was silent.

"Girl Lin said it well," Mrs. Mei laughed dryly, and her mood suddenly changed for the worse.

"But why do you think so?"

"I just feel that when the yamen interrogates prisoners, they have to give the prisoners a chance to defend themselves, but the businessman directly believes that the chief steward wants to start a new business, and instructs the second steward to take over the estate of the chief steward. This kind of quiet progress always feels that it is revealing Some conspiracy."

"Since you know it in your heart, why do you bring this story out to entertain us today?"

"I do understand, but the boss doesn't understand." Lin Miaofu looked at Mrs. Mei with earnest eyes and said no more.

The others were in a fog, only Mrs. Mei seemed to understand something, but sometimes she seemed too confused.

The few of them drank a few more cups of tea, chatted about the scenery of the Taoist temple, had a vegetarian meal in the Taoist temple, and then returned directly to the city.

Here, Lin Miaofu and Mrs. Mei were riding alone on a horse.

"There are no elders in the Gu family. Qianjun's marriage will be personally overseen by someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even I can't get involved." Mrs. Mei took Lin Miaofu's hand and said, "I'm afraid, when the time comes, You feel slighted.”

"How could it be?" Lin Miaofu said, "I already know everything about the Gu family's situation. I will take care of the prince and never let him be distracted by trivial matters at home."

"That's not what I said." Mrs. Mei sighed and said, "Your child is very pleasing to me. Different from those ordinary girls, he is a true-tempered child. But the more you look like this, the less I want you to go to the Gu family." That den of tigers and wolves.”

"I know that Qianjun married you not only because of his mother's wishes, but also because of your ability. Ordinary women cannot catch his eye, so I'm actually very happy that they asked to marry you... It's just, After all, I’ve gone to great lengths to get you, and I’m afraid I’ll owe you something.”

"Old madam, what did you say?" Lin Miaofu said with a blushing face: "Being able to marry the prince is a good thing that I have been blessed with for several lifetimes. How can I say that the prince is so high-ranking? It's obvious I am not worthy of him."

Mrs. Mei knew what she meant, so she clapped her hands and said, "I said it was him who was trying to get ahead of me, but she was too high on it."

"If you need my help in the future, just give me instructions."

Lin Miaofu was very embarrassed, but in the end it was too warm to refuse, so she had no choice but to accept.

The two discussed the wedding.

Lin Miaofu has never experienced a wedding within a hundred days of validity.

However, most of the Jiang family reported during the period of mourning, mainly because too many of them went to the battlefield and many died.

"It's a pity that my mother is still on the road. When she comes to the capital, I will definitely take her to visit her." Lin Miaofu said with a smile: "Old Madam, please don't find me annoying then."

"By the way, when did the story you told me this morning take place? I seem to have forgotten it."

"March and April," Lin Miaofu said with a smile, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether this old lady really knew something or she didn't know anything at all.

Before sending Lin Miaofu to the restaurant, Mrs. Mei said very guiltily: "I'm really sorry to let you continue to live in a place like this. It's just that there are many things at home, so it's hard for others to know."

Lin Miaofu immediately nodded to show that she understood, and said: "Brother is already looking for a suitable house outside, but I haven't picked a perfect one yet!"

Go ahead, Lin Miaofu said again: "What's more, the emperor's imperial edict has been issued, so there is no need to stop looking for the courtyard."

Mrs. Mei nodded slightly and signaled to leave.

Lin Miaofu stood at the door until she watched the carriage leave, then slowly arrived at the restaurant.

However, after walking a few steps, I felt a little weak, so I could only support Xiaolian and walk up slowly.

Xiaolian whispered: "Mrs. Mei seems to value you very much."
