Shopkeeper Wang was stunned, "Miss, why do you suddenly want to sell the shop?"

Chu Huanyan understood Shopkeeper Wang's surprise. Zhiyunxuan had only been opened for a few months, and business was good now. It was not cost-effective to sell it.

However, ever since she opened Zhiyunxuan, Chu Wanyan showed off to everyone she met, treating herself as her boss and giving away a lot of clothes to show off her wealth.

After the last life, he finally managed to restore Zhiyunxuan's business, but not long after, because Chu Ziyuan offended the gangsters in the city, Zhiyunxuan was burned to the ground and all his money was lost.

but……

Even if these things could be avoided now, she would not continue to open this shop.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you have been with me for many years. I trust you, so I want to leave some things to you. As for the reward, I will never treat you unfairly."

Shopkeeper Wang's expression suddenly became much more serious. He straightened his back and said seriously: "Don't worry, Miss. My mother-in-law fell ill the year before last. The doctor saw so many things but couldn't do anything. It's because you took the trouble to help and invited many imperial doctors to send her to her." There are so many medicinal materials, no matter what you want me to do, I will do my best."

"Okay." Chu Huanyan nodded, "I'd like to ask you to find the right time and buyer to sell Zhiyunxuan. As for the money from the sale, I will open a few new shops and I will still leave it to you, but tomorrow For the time being, don’t let anyone know that the shop has anything to do with me.”

Although shopkeeper Wang was puzzled, looking at Chu Huanyan, he still agreed seriously, promising that he would do his best.

Chu Huanyan explained some more things, especially saying that if Chu Wanyan and the others come to ask, they will say that Zhiyunxuan is no longer able to maintain, and Chu Wanyan must not be allowed to dictate terms and make things bigger at will.

After doing this, she took Xianyue and left Zhiyunxuan.

The carriage traveled all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

As Chu Huanyan expected, Ah Si did not continue to kneel at the door.

As soon as she entered the front yard, Chu Ziyuan got the news and rushed over with an angry look on his face...

"Eldest sister, where have you been? Why don't you go to Wangbailou to find me!" Chu Ziyuan stopped in front of Chu Huanyan with a dissatisfied tone.

Chu Huanyan stopped and looked at Chu Ziyuan, "I didn't go. Didn't you come back safe and sound?"

Chu Ziyuan was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Chu Huanyan would talk to him like this. He pointed at the bruises on his face and said angrily: "What do you mean by being safe? Sister, didn't you see that I was injured?"

Chu Huanyan looked at the injury that was no more than a punch, and felt ridiculous in her heart.

"The young master of the Household of the Ministry of Finance must be more seriously injured."

I have hired many martial arts masters for Chu Ziyuan in the past few years. Although he did not work hard, he also learned some fists and kicks under his supervision and persuasion. But the young master of the Household Affairs Bureau was a weak scholar through and through.

In the last life, Chu Ziyuan beat someone seriously and was bedridden for more than a month. He went to the other party's house seven or eight times just to apologize, and gave him countless gifts. He said many kind words and persuaded him in various ways. That's why he didn't make things bigger.

But what about Chu Ziyuan? Except for being taken to the door by myself once at the beginning, I never went there again. I even acted like a normal person, eating, drinking and having a lot of fun. When I reminded him to restrain himself, he insisted that he had apologized and didn't care.

Hearing Chu Huanyan's words, Chu Ziyuan showed a guilty look on his face, but then he said: "Sister, that loser Sun Xuan is going to the Yamen to sue me. You must find a way to solve this matter."

Chu Huanyan looked at Chu Ziyuan quietly, her tone clearly indicating that she, the eldest sister, should deal with his aftermath as a matter of course.

"Sister, why don't you speak?" Seeing that Chu Huanyan just looked at him without speaking, Chu Ziyuan frowned.

"This matter is not urgent." Chu Huanyan said lightly.

Chu Ziyuan frowned even more, "How can I not be in a hurry? People are going to the Yamen to sue me. Sister, you..."

Chu Huanyan interrupted Chu Ziyuan and said with a sneer: "More than this, I want to know where Ah Si went!"

Chu Ziyuan did not expect that Chu Huanyan would ask about Ah Si, and said unhappily: "I asked him to go back. I haven't asked the eldest sister yet. Why did he let him kneel at the door of the house for no reason?"

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows, "Who told you it was for no reason?"

Chu Ziyuan had no intention of talking about this matter, and spoke very casually: "Even if he made some mistakes, he would still kneel down. Why is the eldest sister so worried about it?"

Chu Huanyan smiled, her brows filled with coldness, "So, you think I am cruel and the punishment is too severe?"

Chu Ziyuan glanced at Chu Huanyan strangely, a little confused as to what was going on, and said more impatiently: "I don't mean that, elder sister, please don't..."

"That's enough." Chu Huanyan interrupted Chu Ziyuan directly and stared at him, the smile on her face fading little by little, "Xianyue, have someone bring Ah Si over to me immediately."

Soon, Xianyue found two servants and dragged Ah Si over who was lying in the servants' room.

At the same time, according to Chu Huanyan's instructions, he summoned all the servants in the mansion.

Chu Wanyan received the report and came to the front yard. When she saw the servants gathered around and the boy who was being escorted to kneel on the ground, he curiously asked what happened.

Chu Ziyuan looked at Ah Si, who was looking for help from him. His face was extremely ugly, and he scolded the two boys who were escorting him: "You bastard, people are already here, and you haven't released them first."

"Hold it." Chu Huanyan said calmly.

The two boys looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

"Sister!" Chu Ziyuan looked at Chu Huanyan dissatisfiedly. Seeing that the latter ignored him, he continued to talk to the two young men angrily, "Didn't you hear what I'm talking to you? Let me go immediately." open!"

"I said, hold on." Chu Huanyan spoke calmly and glanced at the two boys. "If anyone dares to let go, he will be expelled from the Hou Mansion immediately."

Although many people in the house usually think that the eldest lady will definitely give in to the prince, everyone with a discerning eye knows who is really supporting the Hou Mansion.

Now when they heard Chu Huanyan's words, the two boys didn't dare to let go. They quickly increased their strength in their hands, fearing that Ah Si would break free on his own and cause them to be kicked out.

Ah Si's bones were so painful from being pinched, he screamed out, and shouted to Chu Ziyuan for help, "Your Majesty!"

Chu Ziyuan was already unhappy because of Chu Huanyan's reaction today, and now he was even more angry.

"Sister, what on earth do you mean!"

"If you don't obey orders, don't abide by the rules, and are evil slaves who bully their masters, you will naturally be taught a lesson." Chu Huanyan ordered in a cold voice, "Thirty sticks will be punished."

"What?" After hearing this, Ah Si stopped crying in pain and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, help me!"

Chu Ziyuan immediately said loudly: "Let's see who dares! Ah Si is my slave, no one has the right to touch him!"
