After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Everything in the shop was sold out, so Li Xiangan asked the salesperson to close the door and thank customers.

Then he and Mu Xi sat there again and started settling accounts.

Today, the goods in the shop plus the deposit received a total of 68,600 taels of silver.

In addition to the cost, commissions and various expenses of the salesperson in the shop, the net profit was fifty-five thousand taels.

After settling the accounts, Li Xiangan organized the banknotes and put them into his sleeves, and asked someone to put the remaining silver ingots into the box. Then he and Mu Xi happily returned to Mingzhao Mansion with the silver.

After returning home, Li Xiangan immediately went to report to Yan Qingqing. This is also a habit he has developed over the past few years.

When he was in Canghe Town, Yuan Huiniang was in charge of the family's middle fund. Li Xiangan usually explained the situation to Yan Qingqing first and then went to Yuan Huiniang to deliver the money.

Now that Yuan Huiniang is far away in her hometown, Li Xiangan naturally hands the money directly to Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing had long expected that the business would not be too bad, but she did not expect that the business would be so good.

After taking the banknote with a smile, he immediately took out a 10,000-tael banknote and handed it to Mu Xi, then said, "Take these banknotes and buy whatever clothes or jewelry you like. Don't worry about the money."

Mu Xi hadn't even gotten married yet, so she naturally refused to ask for the money.

And it felt that Madam was too generous, and the price was only ten thousand taels.

How could she get so much money from Madam before she even got married?

Mu Xi declined and said: "Madam, I can't ask for this money. I usually spend all my food and clothing in the house, so I can't spend much money.

There are still many new clothes and jewelry made for me by Madam. "

Yan Qingqing knew Mu Xi's thoughts and smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. The second brother has been doing everything in the family business over the years. To be honest, he earned half of the family's property.

You are the wife of the second child, what’s wrong with spending some money?

From now on, all the money he earns will be spent by you. "

Li Xiangan nodded when he heard this, and said with approval: "Mom is right, just take it, this little money is nothing to our family.

Even if you don’t buy clothes or jewelry, you can still use it as pocket money.

When we become close, all my private money will be yours to take care of. "

Mu Xi's face turned red as soon as she said this. Why hadn't she noticed that Li Xiangan was so arrogant before? This was in front of his wife. She would never see anyone again.

When Yan Qingqing heard this, she glanced at Li Xiangan and said, "Second brother, this is what's wrong with you.

Since you have to hand over the small treasury, why do you have to wait until after you get married instead of handing it over now?

Is it possible that you still have some reservations about Mu Xi?

Mom can warn you, I will only recognize Mu Xi as my future second daughter-in-law.

If you have any messy thoughts, I will break your legs. "

Li Xiangan:......

He had seen people protecting their daughter-in-law, but never one who was so protective.

In order to protect his daughter-in-law, he was cheating his son. Now he can finally understand how his eldest brother feels. In their family, the son is an outsider and the daughter-in-law is his biological child.

Li Xiangan saw that Mu Xi was looking at him with some suspicion and quickly explained: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to pay private money now, but that I don't have any.

I am devoted to our family wholeheartedly, but I am not selfish at all.

But my mother is right, in the future I will have to save some private money for Mu Xi.

When the time comes, don’t scold me for enriching your own pockets. "

Yan Qingqing:......

Does this mean she shot herself in the foot? This kid Li Xiangan must have gone too far in corruption.

However, Yan Qingqing believes that Li Xiangan is a person who knows what he wants. Besides, it is not an exaggeration for him to save some private money.

In the end, Mu Xi accepted the 10,000 taels of silver note. She remembered the kindness of the Li family to her. She would live a good life with Li Xiangan in the future and help his wife manage the secret guards at home.

Yan Qingqing was planning the embroidery workshop that day. Ruyi walked in and said, "Madam, Prince Chen is here."

Yan Qingqing quickly put down what she was doing and said, "Please invite him in quickly."

It has been five or six days since Yan Qingqing was assassinated in the palace last time, and Xiao Mochen has not been here except for sending people to deliver things twice.

Yan Qingqing actually understood what he was thinking. I was afraid that he would be ashamed to see him if he couldn't catch the murderer.

Although Yan Qingqing has never been in the harem, she also knows that the water in the palace is very deep.

Especially those palace concubines who have been in business for many years, how can they be caught so easily.

Soon Xiao Mochen came in, followed by several young eunuchs carrying boxes.

When Yan Qingqing saw him, she said jokingly: "You bring so many things every time you come here. Do you want to move all your palace here? If my aunt says, you might as well pack up Prince Chen's palace and move it here."

After hearing this, Xiao Mochen replied with a serious face: "Auntie, I really want to. During this time back in Beijing, I have been missing the days in Canghe Village. Unfortunately, there are no such comfortable days anymore.

But this time the things I brought were not brought by me, but the compensation given by my father. "

After Xiao Mochen finished speaking, he showed a sarcastic smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to take someone to count these things and then register them and put them in the warehouse.

Ruyi was also very discerning and knew that Yan Qingqing wanted to talk to Xiao Mochen alone about something, so she quickly agreed and left.

Yan Qingqing looked at Xiao Mochen and asked directly: "What, but the mastermind behind it was found out?"

Xiao Mochen shook his head and said: "Although we have almost guessed who it is, there is no substantial evidence.

My aunt has been wronged, but don’t worry, I will avenge this revenge for her sooner or later. "

Yan Qingqing knew that since he dared to use the young eunuch to assassinate her blatantly, it meant that the people behind the scenes were not afraid of being found out.

Seeing Yan Qingqing's unsurprised look, Xiao Mochen knew that his aunt's intelligence might have known this result, so he told him everything he had found out.

It turns out that the young eunuch who assassinated Yan Qingqing that day was named Xiao Qingzi, and he had been working in the palace for many years.

This Xiao Qingzi was clever, handled things properly, and had good boxing skills. He was valued by Concubine Qian a few years ago and was transferred to Qianyue Pavilion as an errand.

This time when Yan Qingqing was assassinated, Concubine Qian was naturally listed as the first suspect.

However, Concubine Qian and Yan Qingqing had no grievances, and they were strangers to each other, so naturally they would not admit it.

This little Qingzi kept silent at first, but after being tortured, he started biting randomly.

Finally, unable to bear the punishment, he died.

Xiao Mochen was very angry at the time. He had specifically told Xiao Qingzi not to die, but he still died in the end.

Xiao Qingzi's death meant that the clue was lost, but Xiao Mochen also found out an important piece of information, which also allowed him to pinpoint the person behind the scenes.
