The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

Lin Shishi also found it strange. Meng had always regarded her as a thorn in her side and always secretly withheld her share of the hospital allowance. But the strange thing was that the tonic medicine sent to her room was never less.

But she never thought much about it. She just thought that Meng was afraid of her grandmother and was concerned about her reputation, so she didn't dare to be too harsh on her.

Now after hearing what Mu Yan said, I finally understood why my health was getting worse the more I took care of myself. I was afraid that it was all Meng's fault. Then, was my mother's death also related to her?

The court doctor might have been bribed by the Meng family, otherwise how could he not diagnose the cause of his illness.

Lin Shishi couldn't help but tighten her grip on the teacup a little. She didn't expect that her constant tolerance would only lead to them becoming even more aggressive.

Seeing her expression at the moment, Mu Yan guessed something. Although Lin Shishi was not favored, she was also the legitimate daughter of the original wife, and she was protected by Old Madam Lin. Although the Meng family had been in charge of the family for many years and was now promoted to the main lady, she still did not dare to act openly against Lin Shishi, the legitimate daughter of the original wife. She could only use some means in secret, because once her vicious reputation spread, not only would she be ruined, but her children would also be implicated.

But this was the Lin family's affair after all. Although she and Lin Shishi got along well, they had just met. It was inconvenient for her to ask too many questions, let alone intervene. This matter could only be solved by Lin Shishi herself.

"Miss, why didn't you inform me in advance of your visit? My name is Zhou, and I am the owner of Linglongfang."

After Lin Shishi and her servant left, the shopkeeper of Linglongfang appeared calmly.

The man called himself a slave, but he only bowed his head and bent over in a false greeting, with a hint of contempt flashing in the corners of his eyes.

Mu Yan looked at the person in front of her. He had an extremely ordinary appearance, but a plump figure. The materials of his clothes were all top-quality. The jade ring on his thumb was also very conspicuous on his fat finger. It seemed that he had made a lot of money from managing Linglongfang in the past few years.

He is not only the shopkeeper of Linglongfang, but also the confidant of Old Madam Mu. When Mu Yan was at the Mu family, she had met him several times, so she had some impression of this person.

A few years ago, Madam Mu took advantage of Mu Yan's young age to run her mother's dowry shop together with the Mu family's shop.

Thinking of the butterfly hairpin on Liu's head, could it be that the two of them worked together?

Unfortunately, in the previous life, after Mu Yan was disfigured, he shut himself off all day long and had no time to care about these things.

After meeting Mo Xingchen, she devoted herself to him and had no time to take care of her mother's dowry. Now that she thinks about it, most of her mother's dowry was probably secretly transferred to their own names by the two of them.

It's a pity that I only discovered these things in this life. Thinking of this, Mu Yan's eyes darkened: "Linglongfang is my mother's dowry. I am the real owner of Linglongfang. I come from my hometown. Do I need to inform you, the shopkeeper Zhou, in advance?"

"How dare I? Miss, you have misunderstood my meaning. You are the eldest lady of the Mu family, so you can come whenever you want." Shopkeeper Zhou bowed and smiled awkwardly.

"I wonder what business Miss has brought you this time. If you need anything, please send someone to tell me and I will select the best ones and send them to you."

Mu Yan glanced at him but did not answer. She turned around and slowly sat down on the chair. She tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers like green onions and spoke softly with a hint of majesty in her tone.

"I have not been in the capital for the past two years. I don't know how the business of the store has been these days. Take out the account books for the past two years and let me see them."

After these words were spoken, Shopkeeper Zhou's body trembled slightly.

"Miss, I personally report the store's revenue to Madam Mu every year. Do you trust me more than the old lady?"

Look, this directly brings up Madam Mu. If I insist on watching it, wouldn’t it make others think that I don’t trust my grandmother?

Mu Yan curled her lips and said, "Manager Zhou, you are joking. My grandmother and I have had a deep relationship since childhood. How could I not trust her? It's just that I have been at the border for the past two years. My grandmother often taught me some housekeeping matters and told me to take good care of my mother's dowry after returning to Beijing. If I don't pay attention to it, wouldn't I be disappointing my grandmother's expectations?"

Mu Yan brought up Old Madam Han. After all, everyone knew that Linglongfang was the dowry that Old Madam Han specially prepared for her daughter Han Yunyan. Who would dare to say anything when she asked her granddaughter to check the accounts?

"this…"

Shopkeeper Zhou raised his arm and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, speaking in a panic: "What the eldest lady said is true. Since it is Madam Han's order, then I will definitely do it. However, the account office was robbed two days ago, and the room was turned upside down by the thief, and the account books were also messed up. It would be better to wait for Xiaode to sort it out in a few days and then send it to you personally."

At this moment, a waiter who was sweeping the floor nearby pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but when he was glanced at by Manager Zhou's cold eyes, he quickly lowered his head.

Mu Yan felt that this person looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

A thought flashed through her mind.

In her previous life, one day, she was disfigured and rarely went out to play. But just as she left the mansion, a man rushed over to her after seeing her. When he got to her, he actually knelt on the ground in front of her. He said with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs: "Miss, I have been waiting for you here for several days. I finally see you. The shops and properties that my young lady left for you are almost emptied out. The loyal servants that our Han family brought here in the past are almost suppressed and have no place to stand. You..."

"Why don't you take him away? Where did this lunatic come from? He is insulting the young lady."

Before he could finish his words, the man was taken away by the Mu family's housekeeper. Mu Yan did not think about what the man said afterwards and soon forgot about this little episode.

And isn’t that person the one sweeping the floor in front of us?

An unknown dark light flashed in Mu Yan's eyes: "It was stolen. Have you reported such a serious matter to the police?"

"My dear Miss, we have not reported to the police, and nothing important has been stolen. We have only lost some small change from the accounting office. It is probably just a petty thief. As you know, harmony is the most important thing in doing business. If this matter gets out, it will affect the image of our Linglongfang."

"Okay, then send it to my house after you have sorted it out..."
