Aunt An gathered her thoughts. The most important thing at the moment was to let Murong Zhaoxue help her take over the housekeeping rights. She looked at Zhaoxue and said with a smile: "The princess already knows the purpose of my coming. Can the princess help me?"

This is busy."

Zhaoxue put down the tea cup, looked at Aunt An, raised her eyes slightly, and asked: "I wonder why Aunt An asked Zhaoxue to help?"

"This..." Aunt An paused for a moment. She didn't expect Zhaoxue to ask this question so directly. She thought for a while and said: "It was the princess who asked me to be in charge of the family. Could it be that the princess asked me to be in charge of the family? Isn't that right?"

Do you want to use this to suppress that person..." Aunt An looked at Zhao Xue's expression carefully, and saw that her expression did not change at all, but there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. She felt a little drumming in her heart, and her voice slowly stopped.

.

Zhaoxue looked at Aunt An quietly, the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually widened, but she asked with great confusion: "Zhaoxue would like to ask Aunt An, why did Zhaoxue suppress Aunt Qin?"

Aunt An was speechless. After a while, she swallowed her saliva and asked doubtfully: "Then why did the princess let me take charge of the house?"

"Zhaoxue did nothing. She just felt that Aunt An should be able to take care of the Leng family well, so she suggested it to her grandmother and father." Zhaoxue replied lightly, with a very natural expression and a hint of doubt in her tone, as if she didn't understand Aunt An.

How could you ask such a simple question.

Aunt An suddenly became restless. She did not expect that Zhaoxue would answer her like this. Thinking of the attitude of the stewards towards her, and what Aunt Qin said earlier, if she failed to manage the Leng Mansion well this time, the old lady would definitely

If she will be disappointed, Qin Miaoxin's status in the Leng Mansion will be even higher. It will not be easy to seize the housekeeper's power from Qin Miaoxin in the future. Thinking about it, he stood up and bowed towards Zhaoxue, saying: "Princess Princess

, I’m just begging you, I beg the princess to help me.”

Zhaoxue looked at Aunt An for a while, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Aunt An, your father is a businessman. Zhaoxue thinks that Aunt An should also know what equal exchange is?"

Aunt An was stunned and looked at Zhao Xue. She suddenly felt that the girl in front of her, who had not yet reached hairpins, was very scary. However, she calmed down and asked: "I wonder what the princess wants to give me in exchange for my body?"

"Aunt An, do you think you have anything you can exchange with Zhaoxue?" Zhaoxue asked back, with a smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth, but with a hint of fun.

Aunt An didn't know how to answer for a moment. She really couldn't figure out this Princess Zhaoxue who looked arrogant in front of the world but didn't understand the world.

Zhaoxue looked at Aunt An's bewildered expression and said calmly: "It's not impossible for Aunt An to ask Zhaoxue to help, but..." There was a hint of sarcasm in the smile at the corner of her mouth, but she still clearly remembered that in her previous life,

The woman in front of her was also responsible for framing her for the crime of killing her brother.

Aunt An looked at Zhaoxue nervously, but did not see the sarcasm in her smile, and waited for her to continue.

"It's just that if you do this, Aunt An may offend Aunt Qin..." Zhaoxue continued, the smile on her lips had faded, and she seemed to be looking at Aunt An very worriedly.

Aunt An thought for a moment. She had offended Qin Miaoxin yesterday by agreeing to take over the power of the house. Now there was no way out. If she could truly obtain the power of the house, Qin Miaoxin would become the mistress. As long as she firmly held the power of the house,

In the future, I can still be on an equal footing with her. After thinking about it, he said: "The princess should know that I have no way out now. I hope the princess can help me. I will be very grateful. If anything happens in the future,

I will definitely stand with the princess."

Zhaoxue smiled calmly, stood up, and walked towards the door of the house. A faint voice floated into Aunt An's ears: "Let's go, there's only half an hour left, Zhaoxue has to go back to Xueyuan for lunch."

Aunt An hurriedly followed Zhaoxue. If Zhaoxue's performance yesterday surprised her, Zhaoxue's performance today shocked her.

Zhaoxue knew that for Aunt An to take over the power of the family, she needed to get to know the original stewards in the main hall and listen to the stewards' reports. Originally, Aunt Qin was supposed to be in the main hall to help Aunt An take over, but she didn't need to guess to know that Aunt Qin would not appear there.

In the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, the stewards had already arrived. Zhaoxue slowly walked up to the front desk, thinking that Aunt An must have encountered a problem with these stewards yesterday.

When the stewards saw Zhaoxue approaching the main hall, they were all surprised, with disbelief in their eyes. Zhaoxue was wearing a fiery red skirt today, and the pleats of the skirt flowed like fire and flowed to the ground. Her long hair, which was like ink, was tied with a lotus root.

The colored ribbon was gently rolled up, and a purple jade hairpin was inserted sideways. The snow-scented skin was like feathers and fat. The willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes under the fluttering eyelashes, the pupils of the eyes were filled with a light indifference, and the body exuded a faint

of fragrance.

Zhaoxue sat at the top of the table, and when he saw the people below him, they were all dumbfounded. They just smiled and said nothing.

"See Princess Zhaoxue!" The middle-aged man standing at the front was the first to recover and bowed to Zhaoxue.

The other stewards also responded one after another and saluted Zhaoxue: "See Princess Zhaoxue."

Zhaoxue said nothing, and quietly looked at the middle-aged man standing in the front, sizing him up for a while. The chief butler of the Leng Mansion, wearing a dark long brocade shirt, was in his forties, and looked plain-looking.

But she is very shrewd. Zhaoxue knows that her father has always been an indifferent person and basically does not talk to his servants. Therefore, it takes some tricks for this flat housekeeper to take the position of housekeeper of Leng Mansion. Of course, Zhaoxue does not deny it.

, Aunt Qin also played a part in it.

Housekeeper Ping is in his forties. He started working as a long-term worker at the age of ten. At the age of twenty, he traveled all over the country to do business. When he was thirty or five years old, he came to Leng Mansion to work as a servant. In the third year, he took up the position of housekeeper. Until now, he has become a housekeeper.

Four years as the butler of Leng Mansion.

At this moment, Butler Ping also lowered his head and looked at Zhaoxue. The current Princess Zhaoxue was rumored by all the servants in the Leng Mansion to be arrogant, rude and arrogant. But Butler Ping has seen the world outside and has his own way of looking at people.

.As a housekeeper, he usually only looks after the outer courtyard, so he didn't see Princess Zhaoxue very often before, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But today, as soon as the princess entered the main hall, she exuded a faint aura. This aura alone.

, which made Butler Ping feel an invisible sense of oppression. After the princess sat on the table, she saw that the people below were stunned, but she did not reprimand, but quietly waited for everyone to salute. It can be seen that the princess was not

Just like the rumors, he is as powerful as ever. In short, Butler Ping's intuition told him that this princess should not be underestimated.

Aunt An then entered the main hall and walked to Zhaoxue. She looked at her but said nothing. When she came, she thought about it carefully. If Murong Zhaoxue can help her truly grasp the power of the family, then this girl really cannot be underestimated.

, she must stand by this girl's side from now on. If Murong Zhaoxue cannot help her grasp the power of the family, then she can push this girl in front of her and pass all the responsibilities away.

Zhaoxue narrowed her eyes. Aunt Qin, the housekeeper, probably hasn't completely conquered him yet, and maybe he can be used by her.

"I wonder if the princess is here?" Butler Ping asked Zhao Xue with his hands in his hands.

Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Aunt An, and said with a smile: "Aunt An, you can start. Zhaoxue is just following the old lady's orders to learn from others. If Zhaoxue doesn't understand something, he will ask questions.

"

Aunt An was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhaoxue's gourd, so she nodded, sat on the other side of Zhaoxue, and said to Butler Ping: "Butler Ping, we didn't bring everyone's account books yesterday.

Is it all done?”

Butler Ping glanced at Zhaoxue slightly and saw her drinking tea with a calm expression, without any unnecessary expression. He narrowed his eyes and asked, Princess Zhaoxue came here. Is it really so simple to just study on the side? After thinking about it, he looked towards An

Aunt An nodded and said, "I've got everything." After saying that, she took out a thick account book from her wide cuff and handed it to Aunt An.

Aunt An glanced at Butler Ping, then took the account and looked at the other stewards.

There are twenty-five middle-aged men and six middle-aged women among the remaining stewards. Ten of them are stewards of Leng's shop in the capital; twelve men are stewards of Leng's outer village; and three men are assistants.

As for the housekeepers, these three people are responsible for purchasing all kinds of supplies and food from outside in Leng Mansion. The six women are all in charge of the inner courtyard, two each for clothing, kitchen, and monthly money.

This management method of the Leng Mansion was the idea of ​​Du Zhaoxue's mother, Murong Yu. The eight shops and ten villages outside the Leng Mansion were Murong Yu's dowry, and each place brought huge profits; and since Murong Yu

After her death, Aunt Qin gradually took over the control of the family, and the original stewards were gradually replaced by the current group, and most of these stewards were promoted by Aunt Qin.

Zhaoxue looked at these stewards coldly. Aunt Qin must have taken a lot of benefits from her mother's dowry over the years. In her previous life, she was ignorant and didn't bother to care about these things. In this life, whether it is hers or her mother's, she will fight to death.

Protect and never let others get the slightest bit of it.

The stewards hesitated for a while, and when they saw that Housekeeper Ping had handed over the accounts, they handed the accounts to Aunt Jiao and put them on the table. However, they were secretly thinking about how Aunt An, a woman in the backyard, could look at these people.

It would probably take a few months for her to finish looking at all the accounts and sort them out.

How could Zhaoxue not know the plans of these stewards, but she just sat silently, looking at the accounts, she would never doubt Aunt An's ability.

Sure enough, Aunt An picked up an account and read it, and quickly pointed out the errors in it, which shocked the steward with sweat on his forehead.

"Aunt An, I'd better leave this account and take a look at it slowly. The most important thing now is to find out the situation in the mansion." Zhaoxue said calmly while holding the tea cup.

Aunt An nodded and said to the stewards: "I know some of the stewards in the inner courtyard, but I don't know them too well. Please tell me about the things that each steward is responsible for. For example, which steward is in charge of which store?

What are the main things the shop sells?" Perhaps because she was born into a merchant's family, Aunt An was most concerned about not the stewards in the inner courtyard, but the stewards in the outside shops and the village.

The housekeepers below were silent, and they were all thinking secretly in their minds. Aunt Qin is just pregnant now, and there may be another young master. There are only two young masters in the Leng Mansion, the eldest young master and the fifth young master. The fifth young master

Traveling abroad, it is uncertain when he will return, and the fifth young master’s biological mother, Aunt Shen, is weak. The eldest young master is different. Although he is a little dishonest, he has a capable biological mother. Now, Aunt Qin is about to be corrected again, and Qin

Auntie's natal family still has a certain amount of power. It is very likely that the eldest young master will take over the Leng family in the future. If they help Auntie An manage the family now, Auntie Qin will definitely come to settle accounts with them one by one in the future. After thinking about it, she decided that it was wrong.

Aunt An repaid her according to the truth.

"Which of you managers can tell me first?" Aunt An asked again when she saw that no one was speaking.

A shop steward's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward and said: "The younger one is the steward of Lingluo Pavilion. His surname is Wang. The shop mainly deals in silk and satin."

Aunt An looked at him. She knew about the silk and satin shop run by the Leng family. She thought about it and asked, "Manager Wang, how is the shop run?"

"The store has always been run according to the method left by my late wife. Now the store is running very well, so I don't need to know too much about it." Manager Wang raised his head and said with a touch of disdain on his face.

Aunt An choked and didn't know how to answer, so she had to look at Zhaoxue for help.

Zhaoxue raised her eyes and looked at Steward Wang, with a sneer on her lips, and said lightly: "Oh? It turns out that this is the business method left by my mother. The steward just wanted to tell me about it. I am really curious."

Manager Wang is not afraid of death. Although he has heard about Princess Zhaoxue’s unruly and domineering behavior, he still thinks that she is just a little girl with yellow hair who has not grown up yet. He said: “The princess is still young, even if she is young.

The princess will not understand, and..."

After hearing these words, Steward Ping hurriedly coughed "cough cough cough..." in order to stop Steward Wang from continuing.

Steward Wang stopped, but looked at Steward Ping with a puzzled look.

Zhaoxue smiled slightly, but it was extremely sarcastic. She never expected that Aunt Qin would put such a stupid person in charge of Lingluo Pavilion. She put down the tea cup, looked at Manager Wang and said, "And what? Manager Wang, just go on."

"

Manager Wang saw the smile on Zhao Xue's face and felt proud in his heart. He thought that he was just a yellow-haired little girl. What would he know? Then he continued: "Also, everything in Ling Luo Pavilion has been discussed with Aunt Qin in the past.

Yes, if someone suddenly changes, I’m afraid the store’s profits will drop.”

"So... if I replace you as the manager, will the store's profit disappear?" Zhaoxue asked very doubtfully, like a little girl who is asking for advice humbly.

Manager Wang was startled when he heard the first half of the sentence. When he heard the second half of the sentence, the smile on his face returned and he said with some pride: "The princess is right. If it were replaced by a younger one, I'm afraid...

Even the long-term workers in the store won’t do it.”

Zhaoxue laughed softly, and a faint voice came out from her lips: "Then I, the Princess, want to see if there will be no profit in Lingluo Pavilion without Manager Wang."

The smile on Manager Wang's face immediately froze, and he stared at Zhao Xue blankly, unable to react for a moment.

Zhaoxue looked at Manager Wang, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and with a hint of coldness, she said: "Before taking the position of Manager Wang, I have one more thing to do." After a pause, he gave instructions to the direction again.

: "Come here, drag Manager Wang down and take charge of thirty boards."

Immediately a servant came in at the door, pulling Manager Wang to go out. Manager Wang only then reacted, but he still shouted without fear of death: "Why does the princess have to take over the position of junior steward?

small?"

Zhaoxue waved her hand and signaled the servants to stop first. She calmed her expression and looked at Manager Wang and said: "Is it possible that Manager Wang has never heard that my boss never needs a reason to hit someone? But...since Manager Wang needs a reason, this county

The Lord can give it to you, and it will save outsiders from saying that I have beaten someone cruelly. First, you are disrespectful to me, and you do not bow or use words of honor when you answer my princess. Second, you dared to question me just now.

Is any one of these two crimes enough to remove you from your position as manager and give you a heavy punishment of thirty years?"

Manager Wang's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and he stammered and couldn't say a word.

Zhaoxue waved her hand again, and before the servant pulled Manager Wang out of the main hall, she said calmly: "Add ten more boards, remember, gag him, I don't want to hear any unnecessary noise."

The stewards below all broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they did not act rashly just now. Let alone losing their posts as stewards, these forty boards alone are not something ordinary people can endure.

Aunt An looked at Zhao Xue blankly, with cold sweat breaking out on her palms. It was so terrible that the girl in front of her could endure it for five years, and both she and Qin Miaoxinyi were deceived by her.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhaoxue's lips again, and she said to Housekeeper Ping: "Steward Ping, Zhaoxue thinks Aunt An won't be able to take over these things for a while, and if she reports it here, she doesn't know how long it will take. How about this, Housekeeper Ping?

Draw up a booklet with all the managers, and write down the things they are responsible for, the people they are responsible for, or various management methods and business methods in the booklet. After writing, give it to Aunt An to read slowly.

"

Butler Ping stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, princess." This princess is definitely not someone who can be easily offended. I am afraid that even Aunt Qin cannot defeat this princess.

Zhaoxue nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her jade hand, stroked her head gently, and said a little tiredly: "Okay, I am a little tired, so I will go back first." After that, she stood up and walked out of the main hall.

Gone.

Aunt An, Housekeeper Ping and all the stewards watched Zhao Xue leave, feeling a little depressed unconsciously.
