Ji Siyue immediately became alert and pulled Ji Sicheng to squat behind a tree, carefully pulled his skirt in and held him in his arms.

Fang Yonghao tried to persuade Bo Jinjue with all his might.

"Brother, why didn't you help me this time after you helped me last time? Aren't all the Shen sisters the same? Just help me this time, right?"

Bo Jinjue looked unhappy, and finally said, "Of course it's different. This is the wife of the Marquis, how can it be the same?"

Fang Yonghao was very unhappy. He muttered a few words and left.

Bo Jinjue's face looked unhappy too. He stared at Fang Yonghao's back and hesitated for a few seconds, but finally followed him.

Ji Siyue asked Ji Sicheng: "The Shen sisters and the Marquis's wife they mentioned are my mother and my mother's sister, right?"

Ji Sicheng looked serious: "I don't think this is a good thing, we still have to tell mother and father."

Ji Siyue nodded and was about to get up, but saw Ji Sicheng was still thinking about something, so she asked Du Ai: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Ji Sicheng stood up and said, "Let's go and see. What if they really have plans to deal with mother?"

When Ji Siyue heard this, he immediately became excited and pulled Ji Sicheng away.

The two children ran out from the back door and saw Fang Yonghao and Bo Jinjue walking together.

"Hurry, let's catch up!"

When Shen Yunyan returned to Jingxin Hall, Shen Yiran followed Qiuju back. It was probably the old lady who ordered people to look for him.

"My stepmother and sister are here, why didn't you tell me in advance? I wouldn't have gone out."

Having said that, Shen Yiran bowed to his stepmother and then sat down.

Shen Yunyan saw that she had arrived at the right time, and immediately sat down with Rong Qingqing.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Are you busy with the newly opened restaurant? That's true. Opening a restaurant or inn is no small matter. You have no experience with it, so you will be busy."

Rong Qingqing immediately asked, "Restaurant and inn, what's new? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The old lady was also a little confused when she heard this. She looked at Shen Yiran and asked, "Ranran, what's going on?"

Shen Yunyan seized the opportunity and said carefully, "Ah, it turns out that my sister hasn't told anyone in the Marquis' Mansion yet. Mother, how did you let it slip?"

Shen Li immediately pretended to smooth things over: "Look, this is what you did wrong. Since you used the assets of the Marquis' Mansion to open a restaurant, how could you not tell the old lady?"

Then he turned sideways to face the old lady and said, "This child has always had his own ideas since he was young. He must have prepared everything before he mentioned it to the old lady!"

Rong Qingqing couldn't help Shen Yiran's behavior. Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, she sneered, "Sister, what a great idea you have. You use the money that the Marquis's Mansion doesn't need to use to open a store. If it works well, it's your credit. If it doesn't, no one will know. You can just keep it a secret. This method is really clever!"

Shen Yunyan immediately said to Rong Qingqing with a wronged look: "My sister just wanted to give everyone a surprise. I don't think she has any ill intentions."

Shen Yiran listened to their words and sneered in his heart.

Rong Qingqing immediately turned around and sideways towards Xunxiang behind her. With just a glance, Xunxiang slipped away.

Shen Yunyan knew that this was the time to call the pregnant Xu, so she immediately stood up to help Shen Yiran speak, determined to delay the matter.

Xu supported the two maids as they walked along, shouting, "How can there be such a housekeeper? I'm the first one to disapprove!"

Her belly was already very big, and she was very anxious, afraid that she had missed it, so she came over panting.

The old lady frowned and said, "Who called you here? You should take good care of yourself."

Xu sat down slowly, smiling angrily, and said, "Although I am pregnant, I am not dead. I handed over the housekeeping power for the sake of the child. Now that my third brother's wife has done this, how can I ignore it?"

Xu leaned back in her chair and continued, "Our family property, including the farm, has to support so many people. How can we just give it away for trial and error?"

Xu spoke quickly and hastily, like a string of cannonballs, expressing regret and self-blame. After just a few words, she just wanted to take back the power of housekeeper.

Shen Yiran watched as all the characters appeared and said what they needed to say. The old lady was still holding back and hadn't expressed her opinion yet, as if she was waiting for her to speak.

Yingying stood up, Shen Yiran looked around at everyone present, and said with a smile: "I did open this inn and restaurant, but I didn't use the money from the government. I opened it with my own money."

Xu immediately sneered, "Your own money? How much does it cost to buy a shop? Can you afford it without a few hundred or a thousand taels?"

Rong Qingqing laughed, her voice was not loud but very clear: "Sister-in-law, that's a clever question. I guess the housekeeper saved it slowly later, right?"

This sentence reminded everyone. Shen Yunyan was waiting for it and immediately helped to explain: "My sister is not that kind of person. The other day, our family was in trouble and asked my sister for help. She could only take out thirty or fifty taels of silver at a time, and she also told us to spend frugally, not more. It can be seen that what the second lady said was wrong."

Shen Li watched coldly, and after hearing these words, she felt embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Alas, every family has its own problems. The Marquis' Mansion is naturally not like us. The remaining money can be used to open a restaurant."

Rong Qingqing laughed and reminded, "Aunt, you are wrong. My third sister-in-law just said that she opened this shop herself. As for the subsidy for the family, maybe it was really gone after the shop opened, right?"

Xu sneered: "I don't think it's gone, it's just that you don't want to give it to me!"

This is true, and Shen Yiran did not refute it.

"I really earned this money myself. If anyone here has any questions, I have the account book here."

As he said this, he told Bai Zhi to go to the room and get out an account book and hand it to the old lady first.

The old lady opened it and looked carefully. Every income over the past year was written clearly.

"So it was made from the famous calligraphy and painting auction business you opened before."

Seeing that there was no problem, the old lady was relieved and relaxed. She nodded and said, "I had forgotten about this shop. You started it with Mr. Liu's calligraphy and paintings. From now on, I will leave all the famous sellers to you."

Shen Yiran smiled and nodded: "Of course they were introduced by Mr. Liu. I take a commission. The higher the price, the higher the commission. But since everyone can buy and sell genuine products, they naturally don't care about these things."

Rong Qingqing followed Shen Yiran to patrol the shops. She had patrolled the shops several times before, but she never knew there were shops like this. She was very confused and turned to look at Xu.

Xu did remember that this was indeed the case, but later Shen Yiran went to deal with that medicine mountain and put a lot of money into it, so she turned her attention to this and really forgot about it.

However, Xu still found the flaw.
