The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Zhang felt that the woman had really grown up. If it were in the past, she would have acted like a spoiled child and coaxed her mother to give her money.

At worst, she would lose her temper, act wilfully and pester her brother and father, and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Now I am trying to find a way to make money on my own.

But although she was happy, she was not confused enough to pretend to be dead. As soon as her daughter asked, she casually gave her a shop and let her play.

This is not the way to teach children.

"You want to do business, Mom won't stop you, but you have to learn it from scratch."

Liu Moyan was curious: "How do I learn from scratch?"

Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, so Zhang simply called Liu Qingwan as well and gave each of them a stack of account books.

"These are the account books of the two shops. Sooner or later, you will marry into a family and become the mistress of the household for your husband. Not only that, but you will also have to manage the shops you own. So, you should first learn how to read the account books. Understand the account books first, then talk about doing business."

Liu Moyan must have been troubled and unwilling to study in the past, but now she is eager to study because she knows too well what the consequences of having no money are.

During the year of exile, she suffered a lot from having no money.

At first, she had the money Liu Qingwan gave her to help her, so she didn't have to suffer so much. But later, Liu Qingwan got into trouble, and she had no one to take care of her, so she couldn't bear it anymore.

Thinking of this, Liu Moyan couldn't help but look at Liu Qingwan. Seeing her calmly looking through the accounts, she was much better than herself.

Liu Moyan sighed in her heart that her sister was quiet and could concentrate on her studies. She really should learn from her.

In her previous life, she was proud, willful, lawless and reckless.

I can't go back to the old ways in this life.

Seeing that her two daughters were sitting there obediently looking at the account books, Zhang nodded secretly in her heart and told the maids and servants to be careful and not disturb them.

It was too easy for Xu Yao to track someone.

She received Liu Moyan's order that day, and found the address of Zhao Mingbo's outer residence in just a few hours.

The place was in Maple Leaf Lane, and ordinary people lived around it.

The overall environment is pretty good, not a place where all kinds of people mix.

Neighbors were quite polite to each other. Xu Yao strolled around the alley a few times and saw neighbors giving each other food and doing small favors. Such actions were very common.

There is a big locust tree outside the alley. Under the tree there are vegetable vendors, children playing, and elderly people taking care of their children, all drinking tea and chatting with smiles on their faces.

When Xu Yao saw a few old women gossiping, he quietly went over to listen.

Coincidentally, they were talking about Zhao Mingbo's mistress.

"That lady Zhang is too shy. When her husband is not at home, she stays at home embroidering all day and never goes out for a walk."

A maid laughed: "The official works in the government office, and has maids to serve him. There are people to do everything for him. Maybe when his husband gets promoted in the future, she will be a high-ranking official's wife, a lady of imperial decree. We poor people are not worthy of their close friendship."

Several people burst into laughter when they heard this. Xu Yao listened to a few words and vaguely knew from their conversation that Ms. Zhang and her husband, Mr. Huang, had moved in a year ago.

But the young couple had been here for almost a year, and the man was working in the government office all day and was often away from home.

The woman stays in the house all year round and basically never goes out except for occasionally going out to shop or do errands.

For ordinary people, girls in the family not only do laundry, cook, and take care of children, but they also have to work out if they have the strength to supplement the family income.

Xu Yao discovered that Madam Zhang was quite generous and often asked the maid to buy some delicious food for her.

The money spent on food alone would amount to more than ten taels of silver a month.

This is unimaginable for ordinary families.

People say that their family has little money and there is no mother-in-law to discipline them, so they naturally spend money as they please.

Those old women were jealous and envious, and spoke with sourness.

"This couple has lived here for more than a year, how come Mrs. Zhang has never gotten pregnant? Could she be a chicken that can't lay eggs?"

When several people talked about this, they felt a hidden pleasure. No matter how beautiful you are, no matter how happy your husband is, no matter how good your life is, you still can't have children.

So, people, nothing can go smoothly all the time.

Xu Yao found the location and was not in a hurry.

She always has to find out more useful information so that she can take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits.

That's right, when Xu Yao confirmed that the man of the house was Zhao Mingbo, she had already thought about who would be the next sucker who could make her money.

Xu Yao returned home after treading carefully and brought a bag of brown sugar biscuits for Quan'er.

The freshly baked brown sugar sesame cakes tasted particularly sweet. Quan'er's cheeks were bulging from eating so much that he asked Xu Yao curiously, "Sister, what do you do when you go out?"

Not to mention the circle, even Mrs. Zhao, the chef, was curious, "You walk outside all day long, and Chunyu and Chunlailan, the two girls, are always trying to please the Second Madam. Be careful that they may take away the Madam's trust, or you will suffer in the future."

Xu Yao didn't care at all. What was the point of snatching such a thing? She would leave the Liu family sooner or later and would not be a slave for the rest of her life.

What's more, Liu Moyan was reborn. According to the plot of the novel, she might really enter the palace to become the queen.

I can't just join in the fun.

Xu Yao smiled and said he understood, but did not refute what Chef Zhao said, so as to prevent her from thinking too much.

Chef Zhao thought she remembered what she said and breathed a sigh of relief. She waited until she finished her meal before putting the prepared dinner into a lunch box and asked her to take it to Liu Moyan.

Liu Moyan felt dizzy after looking at the account books all day. When she saw her come back, she immediately wanted to ask her if she had any news.

But looking at Chunlan and Chunyu, he suppressed his anxiety and let them serve dinner.

After she had her meal, she finally made it to the evening. She then called the two maids out and left Xu Yao to talk.

"How's it going? Did you find out any news?"

Xu Yao shook her head, "I followed that man today, and when I walked to the City God Temple, he almost found me, so I lost him. But don't worry, my lady. I will go there again tomorrow and find out where his mistress is."

Liu Moyan was a little disappointed, but not that sad.

She knew it would not be easy, so she just told Xu Yao: "Don't alert him, and..."

Liu Moyan glanced at the door nervously, asked her to move closer, and whispered to her: "If by any chance, if he really finds you, you..."

"I will never reveal my identity, and I will never let anyone know my relationship with you, so don't worry, madam."

Hearing her say this, Liu Moyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he felt something was wrong, thought for a moment, stood up and took out a pair of small gold bead earrings from the jewelry box and gave them to her, "You did a good job. When this is done, I will never treat you unfairly."
