After rebirth, the princess killed people without showing any blood.

The banquet in the palace was going on very lively, but Liu Mei's carriage was stopped outside Donghua Gate.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. The person sitting in the carriage is Mrs. Liu from the General's Mansion. It's delaying us from going to the banquet. Be careful with your heads!" Hong Luan stood beside the carriage and looked a bit ridiculous.

The palace guard's expression did not change, and he just repeated one sentence coldly, "You are not allowed to enter the palace without a handwriting."

Hong Luan's face turned red with anger, "You guys..."

How could they have a handwriting? The handwriting was always in Shangguan Liuying's hands. Sometimes Shangguan Liuying didn't even need a handwriting if she wanted to enter the palace.

In the carriage, Liu Mei frowned tightly. This was the first time she was stopped outside the palace gate, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

In fact, she had forgotten that if Shangguan Liuying hadn't taken her with her, how could she, a concubine of the Hou family, have been able to go in and out of the palace to attend palace banquets from time to time!

Human desires are terrible, and greed often grows on top of desires.

After so many years in the General's Mansion, Liu Mei took it for granted that she was qualified to enter the palace, but the reality gave her a hard slap in the face.

Outside the carriage, Hong Luan was still arguing loudly with the guards, but every word he said made Liu Mei feel extremely embarrassed.

"Hong Luan, go back home." Liu Mei said coldly in the carriage.

"But, Madam..." Hong Luan was unwilling to give in. They had all arrived at the palace gate. They could enter in the past, but why were they not allowed in today?

"Don't you understand when I say go home?"

Liu Mei's tone was gloomy, Hong Luan bit her lip and shuddered, and said cautiously, "Yes."

The carriage drove farther and farther with its back to Donghua Gate. Liu Mei opened the curtain and looked back at the palace, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

When she sat back in the carriage, she had calmed down. She was too self-righteous, but it didn't matter. Sooner or later, she would walk into the palace openly and openly, in the name of the general's wife, she swore!

After returning home, Hong Luan carefully helped Liu Mei get out of the carriage. Her air pressure was so low along the way that she didn't even dare to breathe for fear of irritating Liu Mei.

"Let Mother Zhang come to see me." Liu Mei said calmly, she needed to vent.

"Yes."

Hongluan lowered his head and silently lit a candle for Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother frowned and panted as she came to Liu Mei's yard. The flesh on her face trembled with the steps.

"lady……"

"You're here," Liu Mei glanced at Mother Zhang casually while sitting on the imperial concubine, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"This," Zhang's mother rubbed her hands in a panic, looked up secretly at Hongluan, and immediately replied after receiving the other party's signal: "I know, I know, Madam must be doing it for the sake of the young lady..."

"Quite smart," Liu Mei nodded with satisfaction, "Remember, I never keep useless people around me. Have you read the account books in the shop?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it, that's it..." Zhang's mother breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and finally passed this level.

"What is that? Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?" Liu Mei frowned.

"The old slave found that many of the accounts in the account book were inconsistent. It can be said that there are no loopholes." Zhang's mother frowned, making her fat features gather together, which was very strange.

"Are you right?" Liu Mei narrowed her eyes, "Call me Manager Hu, I want to ask him whether he has eaten the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard!"

While waiting, Liu Mei let out a deep breath. The anger she felt at the palace gate in the morning could not be dissipated. She felt depressed in her heart, as if there was a big stone blocking her heart.

If she couldn't get this word out, she would probably be sad for a few days.

Not long after, Hong Luan brought over a thin, middle-aged man. This man had a mustache and small eyes. At first glance, he seemed to be an extremely shrewd person.

Shangguan Liuying's mother left her a lot of dowry. Among them, the Rouge Shop and the Silk Satin Shop were both run by Manager Hu. These two shops were also the most profitable, so Liu Mei had always valued them very much.

"Mrs. Liu..."

"There's no need to say more. Bring me the account book." Liu Mei interrupted Manager Hu straight to the point.

Manager Hu paused for a moment, then respectfully took out the account book from his arms and handed it to Liu Mei. Mother Zhang on the side lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

The room was extremely quiet for a while, with the only sound of the account books being turned over.

After a while, Liu Mei raised her head. She first looked at Manager Hu. Just when Zhang's mother thought that Manager Hu was about to be in trouble, Liu Mei suddenly threw the account book at her.

Mother Zhang's forehead turned red instantly, "Ouch!"

She was startled, covered her forehead and hurriedly picked up the account book, but the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, "This, this..."

"What is this? Is this what you said is full of loopholes? If you don't find this loophole for me today, I will skin you." Liu Mei was so angry that she squeezed out this sentence through her teeth.

It was normal for her subordinates to fight openly and secretly. Normally she would have turned a blind eye, but things were not going well in Japan...

"Madam Mingjian, this is not the account book I checked that day at all..." Zhang's mother pointed at Manager Hu angrily, "How dare you cheat me, Hu Jingming..."

"That's enough," Liu Mei shouted sharply, then looked at Manager Hu, "Manager Hu, you tell me."

Manager Hu looked calm, his mustache twitched slightly and then said, "Mrs. Liu knows that the store always prepares two books, one true and one false. One is to prevent the real ledger from being stolen, and the other is to deal with emergencies. This If the eldest lady wants to check the accounts that day..."

Half of what he said was enough to understand. Liu Mei looked at Manager Hu quietly, and after a while he suddenly smiled, and the hostility of the morning dissipated.

Yes, Shangguan Liuying is getting bigger day by day. Sooner or later she will get back the dowry, so she needs to prepare early.

"Okay, as expected of Manager Hu, this matter has been handled very well." Liu Mei ignored Zhang's mother's increasingly ugly expression, turned around and continued to order Hong Luan, "Go and bring the good ginseng in the warehouse to Manager Hu. .”

"Yes, Manager Hu, please come with me." Hong Luan left with Manager Hu.

Mother Zhang stood there in embarrassment, facing Liu Mei tremblingly.

At this time, Shangguan Liuying also happened to be back from the palace, and with her came back not only Luyi but also Yingyi.

She stood at the door and frowned slightly as she looked at Manager Hu's back.

Lu Yi also looked around curiously, "Miss, it seems like the boss is messing around..."

Only then did Shangguan Liuying think of this man, "So it's him..." She murmured softly.

Because she was young, the dowry left by her mother was temporarily handed over to Liu Mei for management. Over the years, she had never cared about the profitability of the dowry shop, just because she believed in Liu Mei.

Just when her thoughts were racing, Hong Luan came over and said, "Miss, you are back. Madam Liu has been crying since she came back from the palace. Please go and persuade her..."

"What's going on? The Queen asked about my aunt today. Why didn't she go to the flower banquet?" Shangguan Liuying asked curiously.

Hong Luan's face instantly became embarrassed, "This... don't mention it anymore. I don't know what happened to the guards in the palace today. They said they wouldn't let us in, and they insisted that we take out the handwriting. They also said a lot of things. Bad words..."
