Chapter 31
"Ms. Hui, I don't know about it. I only know that the shopkeeper Qian gives the profit to a maid named Dongzhu every month." Thanks to Zhu Duofu's curiosity on weekdays, everyone who enters the store Pay careful attention, and even inadvertently eavesdrop on the conversation between the shopkeeper and the guests.It's not a quirk, it's just that he wants to steal from his teacher, so he always pays attention to everything about Shopkeeper Qian.

"Winter bamboo?" Huo Zhixin's face flashed unnaturally, Huo Zhengting happened to see it, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huo Zhixin looked perplexed, she glanced at Huo Zhengting secretly, and said softly: "Father, my daughter forgot to hand over the management of some shops to my aunt when she was sick... At that time, my aunt was afraid that she would not be able to control the shop, so she even handed over the appointments of the shop. The deed was taken away..." Seeing that Huo Zhixin was so cautious, how could Huo Zhengting not understand the cause and effect of the matter?
After Mrs. Bai died, so much of the dowry in her hand was given to her eldest daughter. Mrs. Su was lucky. Seeing that Huo Zhixin was young and deceitful, she tricked her into taking the shop in her hand.In the past, Huo Zhengting would just turn a blind eye and close his eyes. Sooner or later, the Su family would have to be righted, and the second daughter would definitely need a lot of dowry when she married, so it's okay for the eldest daughter to be optional, but now...

"Come on, pass on Aunt Su." Huo Zhengting gritted his teeth. In the past, he felt that the Su family was extremely considerate in everything he did. Now, he will do everything he can to make trouble and worry him.

When Aunt Su came, Huo Zhixin saw that Su's face was calm, she probably had received some news.But Huo Zhixin was not worried, if she wanted to protect herself, she had to come up with a scapegoat.

"Master, this servant is looking for you, so you are here to find this servant." Su's smile was a bit seductive, and she was usually dressed in gorgeous clothes yesterday, but after being adjusted by Huo Zhixin yesterday, she suddenly dressed in plain clothes, which added a bit of temptation.

Unknowingly, Huo Zhengting's anger subsided a bit, looking at Su's cold face just now became slightly warmer, looking at her, and asked: "Do you know the person at your feet?" "Huh?" Su Following Huo Zhengting's gaze, Shi looked at Qian Treasurer who was about to roll his eyes, with a strange look on his face, shook his head, and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Auntie, haven't you seen him?" Huo Zhixin glanced at Su Shi and then at Shopkeeper Qian's slightly trembling body when he saw Su Shi. It seemed that Shopkeeper Qian must know Su Shi.But can Mrs. Su say that she knows him?Seeing Su's frowning, said: "This servant is in charge of the palace every day, and I have seen too many people. Even if I have seen this person, this servant will not be able to remember."

"I heard that you helped Xin'er manage the shop?" Huo Zhengting asked this question for Huo Zhixin. Seeing Huo Zhengting's attitude towards Huo Zhixin, Su's heart started to ring with alarm. When will Huo Zhengting help Huo Zhixin?Was her daughter's position in Huo Zhengting's heart threatened?
"Master, when Miss is sick, she asks servants to manage some shops for her." Su Shi secretly looked at Huo Zhixin and saw that Huo Zhixin was looking at her with a smile. She felt vigilant in her heart. It seems that she came to ask for a shop today!But for Su Shi, the money collected by these shops in the past six months really made Su Shi reluctant to let go, and she dared to believe that Huo Zhixin didn't just ask her to hand over the shop.

However, even if Mrs. Su guessed Huo Zhixin's purpose, it would be useless, anyway, the final result would be that Mrs. Su's skin would be peeled off even if she didn't die! "Since Xin'er is in good health, you can return the contract of the shop to Xin'er. Xin'er is not too young and should learn to manage the shop by herself." Huo Zhengting knew that such an arbitrary decision to be his concubine would not be good for him, But in the past six months, it is estimated that she has collected a lot of oil and water. If she continues to argue, not only will she lose face, but Huo Zhengting's image on Huo Zhixin's side will also be compromised.

Huo Zhixin still couldn't tell that Huo Zhengting was protecting the Su family, so she was blind. Although she kept snorting coldly in her heart, she said with a happy face: "That's great, I also want to thank Auntie for helping me manage the shop for the past six months. You have worked so hard! Not only did you help me manage the shop's manpower, but even helped me manage the shop's revenue!" Huo Zhixin wanted to express her gratitude to the Su family, and wanted to salute her.

"Miss, you don't need to thank you, everything is a servant's job." How dare Su Shi accept Huo Zhixin's gift?Hastily turned sideways, avoiding the direction where Huo Zhixin was saluting.She has already suffered a few losses on this, so how can she be willing to fall into the same pit twice?But Huo Zhixin just used this action to blur her vision. Seeing Su shi dodging in such a hurry, it seems that she didn't listen carefully to what she said just now?

Seeing Su Shi's expected appearance, Huo Zhixin smiled even more, and said: "That's just right, then Auntie will give me the account books for the past six months, and hand over the receipts to me along the way."

"This... income?!" Su's eyes widened, how could she give this income to Huo Zhixin?Let her use it elsewhere, where did you get the money for her?
"This...Miss, the maidservant hasn't received any income in the past six months..." Even Huo Zhengting didn't believe Su Shi's words, and even a pawnbroker said just now that the maidservant next to Su Shi was going to collect money, did she still say yes?It's no wonder that Huo Zhengting was dissatisfied, Su's money was all used to help Huo Zhiyun prepare the dowry in the future, and it was not used in the house at all, and Huo Zhengting didn't even see a trace of the money.

From a mother's point of view, Su's can be considered a trick for Huo Zhiyun, but from Huo Zhixin's point of view, Su's is a parasite, using other people's blood and sweat to benefit herself.

"The treasurer of the money will give you a fixed amount of Dongzhu silver taels every month, don't you know about this?" Huo Zhixin walked to Su Shi's side as she said that, the handkerchief was unintentionally thrown a few times in the air, and then she secretly took it back. To Su Shi.Su smiled lightly and said: "Miss said this, how can a slave and maid take care of other people's affair?"

Forcibly dragging out an affair between Dong Zhu and Qian Treasurer, Huo Zhixin glanced at Chunlan who came with Su's, the expression on her face was unpredictable, it seems that Su's relationship with the people around her is definitely I want to leave my heart.Then, Mrs. Su glanced at the treasurer Qian who was paralyzed on the ground and tied up like a dead pig, and said, "This person...has a stroke?"

"Auntie has good eyesight, this shopkeeper just happened to have a stroke today!" After hearing Huo Zhixin's words, Su Clan was obviously relieved, so no one would correct her even if she talked nonsense, isn't it hard for her to handle her maid?Seeing Su's indifferent smile, Chunlan's heart tightened...
