Strange love across time and space

Seeing Jiang's nod, Su Qing frowned, "Why didn't you tell your daughter earlier?"

Jiang sighed, "I've seen you busy with Zhuangzi matters during this period, and I don't want to cause any more trouble for you. It seems like there's a mole in our family."

Su Qing snorted coldly, "If the soap sells so well, there must be many people jealous. With the Su family's current status, ordinary businessmen must not have the guts to poach the Su family. Those who can openly confront the Su family can only be in positions of power." Higher than the Su family. Moreover, this traitor must have been promised a lot of benefits before he was allowed to risk offending the Su family by revealing the secret recipe."

Jiang also agreed with Su Qing's words, "It's just that I haven't found out whose property Baixiang Pavilion belongs to. Also, it's time to clean up the mole in the family."

Su Qing also felt sorry for the money. Although there were many orders from the palace, there were more people buying from outside! Four percent! How much money will be gained if the 40% is missing? Su Qing rubbed her temples and called Phantom in. "Phantom, go find out whose property is Baixiang Pavilion in the North District." Phantom turned around and went out.

Su Qing stood up and Jiang asked, "Qing Qing, where are you going?"

"Go to the soap workshop and have a look." Su Qing replied

"Mom, go with you!" After Jiang said, she asked the shopkeeper to go back first, and then took Su Qing to the workshop.

The couple came to the soap workshop. When the servants in the workshop saw them, they stood there, bowed and saluted, and then went on to do their own work. The steward who managed the workshop was a nanny named Zhou. Jiang called her over and said, "Aunt Zhou, the secret recipe for making soap has been leaked in the house. Now, someone outside has made the same soap as ours." Do you know that soap is on sale and the price is cheaper than ours?"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she was horrified and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Madam! This old slave really doesn't know. I have been managing the workshop according to your instructions. The servants on different assembly lines are not allowed to talk together. The monthly salary given by the madam is Many, the servants are grateful for the great kindness of the madam and will never break the rules. The old slave himself also signed a death contract. Although he knows how to make soap, he has no relatives in his family and has never revealed it to others. I've learned the secret recipe. I'm very loyal to the Su Mansion, so please let Madam know more about it!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily again.

Su Qing didn't like others kowtowing to her, so she stretched out her hand to help Nanny Zhou up. "Nanny Zhou, before the matter is found out, everyone is suspected. I came here to ask you questions, except for the servants in the workshop. , who else has been to the workshop?"

Seeing that Su Qing and Jiang didn't blame her for poor management, Grandma Zhou felt relieved. She was grateful to Jiang and Su Qing, but she also knew that the matter was serious, so she thought about it and said, "Someone who comes to the workshop often is from Rouge Shop." The shopkeeper, Butler Li, and Butler Li's son Li Qiang. However, they are only in the yard every time they come, and have never entered the house." After a pause, he added, "There are also Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin."

"My cousin and cousin have been here too? What are they here for? How many times have they been here?" Su Qing seemed to have caught something in her mind and asked Nanny Zhou eagerly.

"Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin said that the soap we made was very easy to use, praised us for our ability, and even bought snacks for the servants to eat. They must have been here three or four times." Aunt Zhou felt that something was not good, and quickly thought of herself All were spoken out.

Jiang also sensed that something was wrong, "Did the two of them enter the house when they came?"

Aunt Zhou's heart was shaken, she shrank her head and said weakly, "Come in, when they came to deliver snacks, the old slave said to put the snacks down and eat them after people finish working, but,, but the cousin said that people work hard, Eat a few pieces to cushion your stomach first so that you will be more energetic to work. Without waiting for the old slave to say anything, he and his young master took the snacks into the house and personally distributed them to each servant." The more Grandma Zhou spoke, the louder she became. Small.

"Mother Zhou!" Ms. Jiang said sternly, "You don't know the rules in the workshop! I'm sorry I trust you so much! I asked you to manage the soap workshop, but you actually let outsiders in without permission! Do you know your guilt?!"

Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she knelt down again, "Madam, spare your life! I thought, I thought that Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin were your nephews and nieces, so they would definitely not do anything harmful to the Su family. I didn't think so." It will be like this in the future! Madam! This old slave has realized his mistake! Madam, please spare this old slave!" Aunt Zhou said, kowtowing repeatedly.

Jiang was upset, "Linglong! Call Butler Li!" Linglong responded and went out.

Nanny Lin and Qingzhu brought two chairs and placed them in the shade, allowing Jiang and Su Qing to sit down first. Then he said to Nanny Zhou who kept kowtowing, "Nanny Zhou, please stop kowtowing for now. I won't upset the madam. Please kneel aside first!"

Grandma Zhou did not dare to say anything and immediately moved her knees to the side and continued to kneel. The servants who were working in the yard didn't dare to ask more questions after seeing it, and they were all busy with their own things.

After a while, Butler Li came over with Li Qiang and several servants. As soon as he entered the workshop, he saw Jiang and Su Qing with sullen faces, and saw Aunt Zhou kneeling beside them. She knew something was wrong and hurriedly called Jiang. After Shi and Su Qing saluted, he asked, "Madam, did you ask me to come here to give you something?"

Jiang glanced at Butler Li and told the story exactly. Butler Li took a breath. As the steward of the Su family, he knew how much profit the soap business brought to the Su family. Now that the secret recipe was leaked, Su The family has suffered a heavy loss, no wonder the lady is so angry. Thinking of this, Butler Li knelt down and apologized, "If something like this happened, I am also responsible for poor management. Please punish me, madam."

Li Qiang behind him saw his father like this. Although he felt it was not his father's fault, he knelt down without saying a word.

Jiang sighed, "Steward Li, you guys get up first. I didn't call you here to punish you. Although I am angry, I am not indifferent to right from wrong. I leave this workshop to Grandma Zhou, so let me It was she who came in, not you. So, you don’t have to blame yourself. I asked you to come here to choose a stable and proper steward in the house to manage the soap workshop. As for Aunt Zhou, she has been sold. .”

When Aunt Zhou heard that Jiang was going to betray her, she was so frightened that she walked to Jiang's side and cried, "Madam! I know I was wrong! But it has not been proven that it was Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin who leaked the secret recipe! Madam, please Spare this old slave!"

Jiang slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, "Although it has not been proven that they leaked the secret recipe! But! You have broken the rules by letting people into the house without permission! You turned a deaf ear to my wife's words, how can the Su family tolerate you! Come here! People! Drag Nanny Zhou down!"

Seeing that Jiang didn't blame his father, Li Qiang felt grateful. When he heard Jiang's words, he immediately called on the servants around him to block Nanny Zhou's mouth and drag her down.
