The royal family reads her mind, and the cannon fodder daughter creates the Feihou Mansion

Speaking of Yuzhou, the steward became more friendly to Song Yunxi: "I am indeed from Yuzhou, but I came to the capital more than ten years ago and have not been back for many years."

Song Yunxi also showed the intimacy of fellow villagers: "I really envy your master. My family also has a lot of business in the capital, but unfortunately there is no loyal servant like you to take care of it, so we have to travel back and forth between the two places."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly.

Zhou Churou was simply stunned. How could someone be so frank and calm when making up a lie? Song Yunxi's flawless performance almost made Zhou Churou think that she was from Yuzhou.

Next, Song Yunxi chatted with the manager about the customs and culture of Yuzhou, and then said goodbye with a reluctant look on his face.

As soon as he stepped out of Furong Pavilion, the friendly smile on Song Yunxi's face disappeared, replaced by a cold and sharp look.

Back in the carriage, Song Yunxi instructed Sizhu: "Have someone keep an eye on this steward. I must know where he went and who he met!"

"Yes."

Song Yunxi kept frowning in deep thought, and Zhou Churou did not dare to disturb her and just sat quietly beside her.

After a long time, Song Yunxi finally looked up at her: "If my judgment is correct, your shop... or should I say the shop that originally belonged to the Prime Minister's Mansion, should have another owner behind the scenes, and the account book you saw is just a fake account."

Zhou Shidong should have known about this matter, and it is very likely that he took the initiative to give away the profits from the shop.

"Sizhu, go and find out in person which bank the Furong Pavilion's silver was exchanged for silver bills, and then find out where those silver bills went."

No matter who is behind Furong Pavilion, the other party will not take the initiative to meet with the manager for the sake of caution, so it may be difficult to get clues if we start the investigation from this aspect.

But silver bills are different. They will not deceive people. As long as the other party has received silver bills from Furong Pavilion, there will definitely be traces left.

She tried to test him indirectly, and when she said that she hoped to have a loyal servant like his master to manage the business in the capital, the manager did not deny it, so his master must be in Yuzhou.

The person who could make Zhou Shidong willing to give up his family property must have a higher status than him as prime minister, and he is from Yuzhou... Song Yunxi suddenly widened his eyes.

How could it be him?!

So he urgently ordered Sizhu: "Go to Third Brother's Villa to find Zuo Shaolin about the banknotes. Tell him what I said and ask him to help you find out where the banknotes went as soon as possible. The sooner the better!"

Seeing Song Yunxi's urgency, Sizhu responded, "I will send the young lady back home and go see Mr. Zuo immediately."

After everything was arranged, Song Yunxi turned around and reminded Zhou Churou: "Just pretend you don't know about the store, and don't reveal your true identity in front of anyone."

Even if Song Yunxi didn't say anything, Zhou Churou knew the seriousness of the situation and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't show anything until you find out the truth."

Passing by the restaurant run by Jiang Yanting, Song Yunxi suddenly missed the dim sum in the restaurant. Now that she was already here, she must go have a good meal.

But as soon as you enter the restaurant, you are struck by a desolate and quiet atmosphere. There are only a few guests scattered around the restaurant, which forms a sharp contrast with the usual hustle and bustle.

Seeing her appear, the shopkeeper seemed to see a savior: "Miss, you are here!"

Song Yunxi frowned: "What's going on?"

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly, then pointed his chin at the restaurant across the street: "It's all that restaurant that's causing all the trouble."

The Wanshunlou restaurant across the street opened half a month ago. Its decoration style and positioning are exactly the same as their restaurant, but its accommodation rates are 20% lower than theirs.

The key point is that the menu is exactly the same as theirs, and the prices are much lower than theirs, so they have snatched away all their customers.

Song Yunxi's eyes were as cold as frost. This Wanshun Building was definitely targeting their Yiya Pavilion, and they did not hide it at all.

I wanted to ask more about Wanshunlou, but I heard the shopkeeper said worriedly: "I heard that not only our Yiya Pavilion, but also other shops have been suppressed by competitors who suddenly appeared in the past half month and are struggling to breathe."

Song Yunxi asked coldly: "Why don't you come and report to me?"

The shopkeeper also had his difficulties to express. After a moment's hesitation, he said truthfully: "The Second Young Master has told us to wait until he comes back before discussing anything else. He also told us not to disturb the Young Miss."

Song Yunxi naturally understood that her third brother didn't want her to worry and work hard.

"But we have checked, who opened Wanshun Building?"

The shopkeeper blamed himself: "I can't find any clues."

"According to the information I received, the owner of Wanshunlou is just an ordinary family outside the capital."

Song Yunxi looked over in the direction of the sound and saw the brothers Ye Xuanqi and Ye Xuanke coming up the stairs towards her.

Song Yunxi snorted coldly: "This Wanshun Building is clearly coming for Yiya Pavilion."

Yiya Pavilion has stood in the capital for ten years, and its status can be imagined. How could ordinary people confront it from the beginning? Or in such a provocative way.

The two brothers sat down opposite her, and Ye Xuanqi said, "So the real owner of Wanshun Tower must be of a high status, otherwise he wouldn't have wiped out all the clues, and even I can't find them."

Song Yunxi didn't want to eat either. She asked Sizhu to send Zhou Churou back home first, and she planned to go to other shops to check out the situation.

"Miss……"

Sizhu was worried about leaving her alone, but Ye Xuanqi said calmly: "Later, the king and the fifth prince will send your young lady back to the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Sizhu knew something about their skills, so after thinking it over, she felt at ease to leave her young lady to them.

Zhou Churou said goodbye to Song Yunxi, and worriedly reminded her to be careful before she bowed to the Ye Xuanqi brothers and left.

After taking a tour in Ye Xuan's carriage, it turned out that not only Yiya Pavilion, but also the embroidery workshop, grain shop, silver shop, study... none of them were spared.

The other party's grain shop had lower prices, and the styles of its embroidery workshop and silver shop were exactly the same as those of the shop under Jiang Yanting's name. Even new styles that they had not yet drawn were launched by the other party first.

There is also the study. If the books that are selling well now, they should be the new books that they will launch in the future.

Ye Xuanke blurted out unconsciously: "Perhaps your people were bribed by the enemy and leaked it out."

[What a fool with strong limbs and simple mind. Whether it is the new style of the silver shop or the best-selling storybook, they are all in my mind. I have never drawn a draft and have not had time to write the storybook. How did the other party get ahead of me? It is impossible for him to sneak into my mind and see it from my mind! ]

Ye Xuan Ke was finally accepted as a disciple by the old general Pingnan as he wished. It was a rare opportunity for him to meet Song Yunxi and he wanted to thank her properly, but she ruthlessly called him an idiot in her heart, which shattered his gratitude.
