The concubine is often fierce, the prince is too difficult to deal with

Chapter 57 Don't Think I, Qin Muge, Are Bullying
Is this fate?

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Mrs. Yuxiu smiled kindly, and her voice was gentle and gentle, which made people let go of their defenses and alienation.

Ever since crossing over, even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has never felt the slightest warmth.

But for some reason, since that day in "Yifu Pavilion", she has not developed any resistance to the strange Mrs. Yuxiu.

"My name is Qin Muge, and I am the third in the Xiangfu."

Qin Muge was not shy either, and introduced him openly.

Mrs. Yuxiu smiled and nodded, "We met twice, the first time I didn't help you; the second time, it was you who helped me out, which shows that we are destined. In the past, you can come to my place often .”

Qin Muge nodded with a smile, "Madam invites you kindly, so Muge has no choice but to be disrespectful."

Hearing Qin Muge's witty words, Mrs. Yuxiu only felt that her gloomy mood seemed to brighten up a bit.

She looked at Qin Muge's smiling face: If her grandson was still alive, he would probably be in his teens...

There are two flowers, one on each side.

Just after Qin Muge left, the queen mother also tacitly returned to the bedroom, and gave the front hall to the two young people whom she loved dearly.

At this moment, Rong Jing was standing in the middle of the hall, wearing a warm red dress that was very flamboyant.

Just like his beautiful face.

And Ru Ji stood behind him, pursing her lips lightly.

It can be said that she grew up with Brother Jing.

Since she was a child, she has fallen in love with her elder brother Jing, so his every move is deeply engraved in her mind.

Just now, when Qin Muge appeared...

I clearly saw Brother Jing, who was half leaning on the bench, caressing the blood-red tear mole under the corner of his eye with his fingertips lazily.

This is a sign that he is very interested in something or a person.

Maybe he doesn't know this habit himself, but Ru Ji is very clear about it.

She couldn't believe it before, but now she can't calm down no matter what.

The pink fists under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched together, as if he was about to bite the blood from his lower lip.

She was watching, waiting, waiting for Brother Jing;

Brother Jing, who loves her, cherishes her, and dotes on her, still cares about his basic necessities of life, but Nan Zhen or Su Mu make arrangements every time.

I can't even see him.

That goodness already existed, but when Brother Jing saw Qin Muge, it had already deteriorated.

"Recover well, I'll go first."

Rong Jing opened his mouth lightly, his eyes were still soft, but with a slight alienation.

This look made Ruji feel like a knife piercing her heart.

She held back for a long time, until she saw Rong Jing taking steps to leave, tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Almost recklessly, she rushed to Rong Jing's back, and hugged his waist from behind.

"Brother Jing, don't go, don't go."

Ru Ji begged with a crying voice.

She had a hunch that as long as Brother Jing left this time, he would never belong to her.

Rong Jing never liked others to touch him, but now Ru Ji's sudden action made him turn cold.

He forcibly suppressed the frightening coldness that suddenly arose around him.

He steadily but unswervingly removed Ru Ji's hand wrapped around his waist.

Turning his head, he could see Ruji who was already shedding tears.

"I'm always here. Whether you're in Luoyang or Jinling, as long as you need me, I'm always there."

Ruji shook her head with tears in her eyes, "What I want is not Brother Jing's help, what I want is yours..."

"Jiel?"

Rong Jing's beautiful peach eyes narrowed slightly, and the extremely cold air burst out from the eyes.

Vibrantly told Ruji to swallow the word "heart".

She slowly took out a portrait from her bosom, with unwillingness showing on her frail face, "Brother Jing, the reason you take care of Sister Muge is because her eyes resemble this person, right?"

The portrait in Ruji's hand slowly unfolded, and a beautiful face appeared in front of Rongjing.

The girl in the painting is beautiful in appearance and has excellent temperament.

The elegant skirt fluttered, like a fairy who would float away at any moment.

And those eyes were clear and bright.

It seems to be full of endless whispers, and I still want to talk.

At first glance, it is indeed somewhat similar to Qin Muge's eyes.

When Rong Jing saw this picture scroll, the hostility on his face became more serious.

This painting was drawn by himself.

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Si'er had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Qin Muge insisted on changing a set of clothes under Lianqiao's slow service, "Please bring in those shopkeepers."

Lianqiao has been with Qin Muge for so long, just by hearing the tone of her voice, she knew that her young lady seemed to be in a bad mood.

It seems that those shopkeepers waiting outside are going to be unlucky.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has a total of thirty or forty shops in the capital.

But this time the second wife handed over to Qin Mu singers a dozen shops that her mother brought over as a dowry.

Speaking of which, the range covered by these shops is quite wide.

There are silk and satin shops, as well as rice and grain shops, but these shops have a wide range of operations, but they are not sophisticated.

But fortunately, the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion is backed up, and the things are not bad.

So these years, although the business is not booming, it is not bad.

It's just that after Qin Muge's mother passed away, these things were all tricked away by the second wife.

However, the second lady is just an aunt.

It would be impossible for her to hold these private seals without Mrs. Suyun's approval.

On the one hand, her move seemed generous, and she hoped for harmony in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion;
On the other hand, after winning those shops, the second lady's arrogance naturally rose.

But she didn't dare to offend Mrs. Suyun, so she had no choice but to bully those who had no mother to take care of her.

After figuring out the ins and outs of this, Qin Muge dug out all the past account books during this period of time to check.

Relying on the experience of her previous life, she picked out all the tricks in the accounts of these years in just three days.

The most serious ones are the silk and satin shops and rice shops in the west of the city.

Logically speaking, the annual net profit of each store should be around 50 taels.

After deducting the monthly fee and management material costs, there should be at least 30 taels left.

But what is incredible is that there are only about 10 taels of income in the accounts every year.

These days, Qin Muge had already gone to investigate.

Only then did I know that the shopkeepers of these two stores turned out to be the second wife's distant relatives.

One of them is called Li Fu, the other is called Li Ji, they are two brothers.

They were supposed to be old farmers who stayed in the countryside to farm.

The support of the second lady made them walk out of the mountains and come to this prosperous capital.

Qin Zhengang's ambitions are in all directions, if there is no major issue in the backyard, he will generally not bother.

This gave the second lady a good opportunity to put her two cousins ​​in and gave her a very high monthly payment.

It's a pity that these two brothers are poor and afraid.

After staying in this store for a long time, I am also very jealous of the silver that is flowing in like water.

Not only did he not think about repaying the favor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but instead he thought about making money from the store.

The second wife is also cunning, she has already thoroughly touched her cousin...

Knowing that these two people have shallow eyelids, they cannot withstand any temptation.

No, after only half a year, they came directly to the door.

Discuss with the second wife to include most of the proceeds of those two stores.

The second lady pretended to be depressed at first, and scolded them severely.

The two brothers struggled for two months, and gave the second wife a lot of money, and then they pried the cousin's mouth open.

So the three brothers and sisters regarded the business of the Prime Minister's Mansion as their own.

Every year, wages are deducted and work is cut short.

But every time something happens, the second wife can still find a way to wipe it off.

The two brothers felt more and more that their sister was powerful, so they became more and more lawless.

Although the dozens of shops in the Prime Minister's Mansion are independent on the surface;
But inside is inextricably linked.

With the acquiescence of the second wife, Li Fu and Li Ji's two brothers went secretly to Chencang, and hooked up with the shopkeepers of other shops, making these shops a mess.

And all of this, as the head of the Xiangfu's backyard...

Madam Suyun not only did not come forward to stop, but put on an attitude of turning a blind eye.

If the matter got serious, she would only say a few words on the sidelines.

However, what he said was to take into account the face of Quan Xiangfu.

This made the second lady even more unscrupulous.

It was also for this reason that the second lady resigned to her fate and returned these private seals to Qin Muge this time.

Because these shops have already been emptied by the three of them, leaving only an empty shell!
Even though Qin Muge took back these shops this time, the brothers incited other shopkeepers and still only loyal to the second wife.

No matter who Qin Muge sent to say that they wanted to check the accounts, those shopkeepers either pretended to be sick, or avoided seeing them.

Anyway, what they mean is that whoever holds the chapter won't work unless there is the approval of the second lady.

It has been about ten days since Qin Muge took over those shops, but she has never been to that shop in person.

This further fueled the arrogance of the two brothers Li Fu and Li Ji.

This third young lady who doesn't leave the door and doesn't step out is nothing more than a female stream.

No matter how much she played tricks in the backyard, the outside business still had to be decided by the man.

She has a little hoof, does she really dare to come and make trouble with their old shopkeepers?
According to their age, she was going to call them uncles!

Even with these remarks, the other shopkeepers also became arrogant.

Even when Qin Muge sent Lianqiao, his confidant maid, over here, they seemed to be indifferent.

Moreover, every time she spoke, she was extremely unpleasant, and Lian Qiao almost rolled her eyes in anger.

Today, Li Fu and Li Ji also got news from the second lady.

Only then did all the shopkeepers be summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's just that what they didn't expect was...

Not only did they not see the second wife, but they were even teased by Qin Muge, a little girl.

She actually used Qin Zhengang's name and made them stand in the front yard for two hours.

Although the sun is not very strong this spring, most of the shopkeepers are old.

Where can it stand such a toss?
Originally, everyone was aggressively waiting to trouble Qin Muge...

Now such a stop is like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.

There were even a few gray-haired ones, who were so tired that they almost rolled their eyes.
