After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Don't Yan Yan think that maybe I really don't want to get involved in government affairs anymore?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan with a smile in his eyes.

"You won't." Chu Huanyan said firmly, "You should have been ready to ascend the throne long before everything was revealed."

But after all, he watched Xiao Emperor commit suicide. If someone wants to go too far, it can even be said that Xiao Jinzhi forced Xiao Emperor to death in public. Therefore, even if there is a reason for the incident, the courtiers may not feel that Xiao Jinzhi's behavior is inappropriate after they get over the panic.

At this time, by being cold to them and making the courtiers panic, you can avoid some trouble.

Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's hand, and the smile on his face became stronger because of Chu Huanyan's understanding.

At this moment, Qin Li came over again, saying that a new wave of courtiers were coming, but this time it was Liu Changhan, Feng Hanyi and the others.

"It seems it's time to meet." Xiao Jinzhi stood up and asked Chu Huanyan with a smile, "How about you come with me?"

"No." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I plan to go to the shop today. I haven't been there for a while."

Because of what happened that year, I had no time to care about it. Now that everything has settled and the cause of my parents' death has been revealed to the world, it's time to go inside the shop and take a look.

"Okay, let Qin Li go with you." Xiao Jinzhi nodded and said.

Chu Huanyan did not refuse, and quickly left the Prince's Mansion, took a carriage, and arrived at the shop managed by Chu Xixu first.

When Chu Huanyan entered, Chu Xixu was sorting out the account books in the shop. When he saw Chu Huanyan, he quickly came over to greet her.

"Cousin." Chu Xixu looked Chu Huanyan up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that she was safe and in good spirits.

In the past few days, the imperial city was almost flooded with rumors. Although he didn't know what happened, when he heard others talking about the real cause of death of the Marquis of Ning'an and his wife, he understood that the truth about that year would be revealed. The eldest sister must have had a share in the matter.

"I've been delayed by some things recently and haven't been able to come over. How's things going at the shop?" Chu Huanyan noticed Chu Xixu's concerned eyes and smiled softly. She didn't say anything more and just started asking about the shop.

After Chu Xixu asked Chu Huanyan to sit down, he brought over the account books for the recent period, "I have sorted them out, cousin, please take a look."

Chu Huanyan simply flipped through the account book. The records on it were very clear and clear at a glance, which showed that business had been good recently.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Huanyan closed the account book in her hand, "Xixu, since the store was handed over to you, it has been running very properly. However, as a cousin, I have treated you a little badly, so next I I am going to give you full responsibility for these shops, and the profits from the shops..."

"Cousin, I want to thank you for giving me a chance to practice." Chu Xixu interrupted Chu Huanyan, "But in the future, I may not be able to help my cousin anymore."

Chu Huanyan looked at Chu Xixu, "What do you mean?"

"Cousin, actually at the beginning I just wanted to gain experience. Although I am very dissatisfied with my father and even despise some of his actions, in the end I have to return home and take over the family business."

Chu Xixu paused and smiled apologetically at Chu Huanyan.

"I betrayed my cousin's trust, but no matter what, I am very grateful to my cousin for giving me a chance."

It's not that he hasn't thought about staying, and he also believes that his cousin will never treat him badly. However, if the shop at home is left alone, I'm afraid it will be completely unsustainable.

Seeing that Chu Xixu was determined, Chu Huanyan didn't say anything to persuade him, but just nodded lightly.

"There is no need to say anything about being let down. No matter what, I should be grateful to you. After you go back, no matter when, if there is anything I can do to help, you can speak up."

"Okay, thank you cousin." Chu Xixu took another booklet from the table on the other side, "What is recorded here is all the matters that need attention that I have discovered since I managed these shops, and also I have some follow-up ideas and arrangements, and I will give them to my cousin for reference. After my cousin has arranged suitable candidates, I will explain them clearly to them one by one, and then leave."

Chu Huanyan reached out and took it, flipping through a few pages and found that the records on it were very attentive and detailed.

"I can see that you really put in a lot of effort. Thank you very much." Chu Huanyan stood up and thanked Chu Xixu.

The latter still smiled and shook his head, "These are what I should do."

After leaving Buzhuang, Chu Huanyan looked at the booklet in her hand and asked Xianyue.

"If I remember correctly, did Chu Huaishan sell a lot of shops?"

Xianyue recalled the news she had received before, "Miss Chu, the second master has not been doing well in business over the years and has been selling shops one after another. Since last year, he has sold about four or five shops. Now if Master Chu goes back, I am afraid that There are only two or three shops left.”

"Let someone ask how the shops that were bought are like. If anyone is willing to take action, buy back those four or five shops as a thank you to Chu Xixu." Chu Huanyan said.

"Yes, I understand." Xianyue responded immediately.

Chu Huanyan got on the carriage and went to several other shops. There were basically no problems with the operation, and the account books were prepared early.

By the time everyone had turned around, it was almost lunch time. Since it was quite a distance from the Prince's Mansion and Ning'an Marquis Mansion, Chu Huanyan took Xian Yue and Qin Li directly to a restaurant on the roadside.

At the window on the second floor, Chu Huanyan invited Xianyue and Qin Li to sit down together.

Knowing Chu Huanyan's temper, they didn't refuse much and sat down at the table together.

Although there were not many customers in the restaurant, the waiter went upstairs to greet them after waiting for a while.

"What do you gentlemen want to eat?" The waiter, dressed in coarse cloth, lowered his head.

"Do you have anything you want to eat?" Chu Huanyan looked at Qin Li and Xianyue, then picked up the teapot in front of her and poured herself tea.

"Miss, I can eat whatever I want." Xian Yue stood up and took the teapot from Chu Huanyan's hand, "I just want you to come."

"I don't have anything I want to eat, I just want you to make the decision." Qin Li also said.

"In that case, let's serve your signature dishes and a bottle of wine." Chu Huanyan glanced at the waiter.

After the latter hurriedly left, it didn't take long before he came up with wine and food.

"Your welcome, sir." After the waiter said this, he turned to leave.

But Chu Huanyan suddenly stopped him, "Wait!"
