The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Dressed in a cyan round-necked robe, the thirteen-year-old Jiang Mushi's face had lost most of his childishness. His height was almost as tall as Jiang Suining, and between his eyebrows one could vaguely glimpse the handsome and noble young man he would become in the future.

When he walked in from outside and saw the account book in front of Jiang Suining, his face suddenly darkened.

"Sister, why did you promise me?"

Having said that, he stepped forward and reached out to snatch the account book.

Jiang Suining immediately protected it, "Okay, okay, I won't watch it today."

"Not just tonight, but also watch less of these when you get home." Jiang Mushi frowned.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Suining responded helplessly.

In fact, just looking at the account book, she really didn't think it was that hard. Moreover, if she wanted to get things done, she had to put in the necessary effort.

However, Jiang Mushi was a top-notch expert at hiding things, so she was really a little scared.

After drinking the Tremella soup, there was still some time before bedtime, so Jiang Mushi dragged Jiang Suining to go for a walk in the garden to stretch their muscles.

"Sister, you are about to reach the age of 15, what gift do you want?"

"I don't have any wishes. If I really have to say one thing..." Jiang Suining blinked, "I hope you won't hide my account book anymore."

"I am doing this for your own good." Jiang Mushi said dissatisfiedly, "If you keep busy, Daddy won't work as hard as you."

"It's different. After all, the shops at home have been open for many years, so we just need to hand them over to the shopkeepers. But for a newly opened shop, we always need to pay more attention and wait until it gets on the right track."

"Don't try to scare me with that. New shops are opening one after another, endlessly. Look at Zheng Yan'er. She was trying her best to get first place in the academy, but when she found out she couldn't do it, she gave up with a good excuse. Now she's doing fine. I think she's the one with the most free time in the family."

Jiang Suining smiled, "Are you trying to persuade me with Zheng Yan'er, or are you just unhappy and want to scold me?"

Over the past year, the relationship between Jiang Mushi and Zheng Yan'er not only did not improve, but it almost got worse. Now Jiang Mushi had no good expression at all when he mentioned Zheng Yan'er.

"I..." Jiang Mushi was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of a corner of a dress sticking out from behind the rockery.

Jiang Mushi raised his eyebrows and motioned Jiang Suining to look over.

Seeing the familiar red dress, Jiang Suining knew that the person hiding behind it should be Zheng Yan'er.

"Sister, how could I possibly use her to persuade you?" Jiang Mushi deliberately raised his voice so that the people behind the rockery could hear more clearly. "Zheng Yan'er pretends to be smart on the surface, but in fact she is mediocre and arrogant. How can she compare to you, sister? Using her to persuade you is simply humiliating you."

Behind the rockery, Zheng Yan'er listened with gritted teeth.

She had just seen Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi coming together from a distance, so she hid behind the rockery, wanting to listen to what they would say.

Sure enough, he was saying bad things about me!

Jiang Mushi was really abominable. She had originally thought that he was the only son of the Jiang family, and she should have a good relationship with him. However, over the past year or so, no matter how she tried to show her goodwill, Jiang Mushi remained indifferent and only knew how to protect Jiang Suining.

Fortunately, her aunt still dotes on her for the time being, otherwise Jiang Mushi would have bullied her into oblivion!

Jiang Suining listened to Jiang Mushi's deliberately provocative words, smiled and shook his head, "Why bother? After all, mother is protecting her. Such tit-for-tat will only embarrass her mother."

In fact, regarding the matter of the academy, she didn't think that she should look down on Zheng Yan'er.

Perhaps Zheng Yan'er had thought that the academy's coursework was too easy at first, and she had probably over-exaggerated what she had learned at home, so she failed the assessment.

But later, she passed the assessment and reached the mid-level. During that time, Zheng Yan'er was indeed hardworking and did achieve results.

It’s just that maybe she set her goal too high and felt it was too difficult, so she finally gave up.

Although she didn't like Zheng Yan'er, there were still some good things about her.

Compared to Jiang Suining's calmness, Jiang Mushi's displeasure was very obvious.

"She just relies on my mother's love for her. I want to see how long she can stay in the Jiang family."

Although Jiang Mushi's words made Zheng Yan'er very angry, to some extent, they also served as a reminder to her.

It was impossible for her to stay in the Jiang family forever. In fact, in the past year or so, her father had written several letters, wanting her to go home, saying that she couldn't keep bothering the Jiang family. Fortunately, her aunt stopped him, so she could continue to stay.

But now, she no longer goes to the academy. If she keeps doing nothing every day, and her aunt wants her to leave one day, she will really have no reason to stay.

She had gotten used to living in the Jiang family and didn't want to go home and live a hard life again.

Zheng Yan'er was worried, so she quietly left the back garden and went to see Zheng again.

"Aunt, I really want to do business. Please talk to my uncle for me."

Jiang Zhitong went to a business friend's house for a dinner tonight and has not returned yet. In the room, Zheng looked at her niece in front of her with an embarrassed expression.

"Yan'er, I've already told you that your uncle means that if you want to learn how to do business in a shop, that's fine, but opening a shop right away is too risky."

"My aunt is already fourteen years old, just a few months younger than Jiang Suining, and she already has five shops. If I go to a shop to learn, it will waste my time. Then when will I be able to have my own shop?"

What's so reckless? In the final analysis, it's just that he doesn't want to help her pay the money!

Zheng felt helpless. Over the past year or so, she had noticed that Yan'er was secretly competing with Sui Ning. But after all, she was her beloved niece, so she didn't want to say too much.

"Yan'er, Sui Ning also went to the shop to learn carefully before starting his own business."

"Aunt, have you forgotten that our Zheng family has been doing business for generations? I have been influenced by it since I was a child. I already know what Jiang Suining needs to learn."

"But……"

"Aunt, do you remember what I told you? I want to gain a foothold in the imperial city, make a lot of money, and bring my parents over to live a good life. Please help me." Zheng Yan'er looked at Zheng with a pleading face, "Aunt, please!"

Zheng was in mixed feelings.

If she considered it rationally, she felt that it was a bit too aggressive. But when she thought that she only had this one niece, and that she had someone to talk to in confidence over the past year, her life was not so boring, Zheng softened her heart again.

Finally, she agreed. "Well, let me give you some money from my own pocket money and help you open the shop. As for your uncle, he shouldn't have any objection to using my money."

"That's great, thank you so much, auntie!" Zheng Yan'er was overjoyed. "Auntie, I knew you were the best to me. I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

Seeing Zheng Yan'er rushing over and hugging her arms, Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "You, just quarrel less with Mu Shi and spend more time with me."

When Zheng Yan'er heard Zheng mention Jiang Mushi, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

What does it mean that she should stop arguing with Jiang Mushi? It was obviously Jiang Mushi who targeted her first. It turns out that he is biased towards his own son.

Although she was unhappy in her heart, Zheng Yan'er still responded sweetly on the surface.

"Aunt, don't worry. Even for your sake, I won't bother with brother Mu Shi."

After Jiang Zhitong learned of Zheng's decision, he wanted to persuade her again, but he was afraid of upsetting his wife, so he could only stop interfering.

But thinking about the private money that Zheng had spent, he finally went to the Jiang family's account office and allocated three thousand taels to Zheng Yan'er.

Together with the private money given by Zheng, which Zheng Yan'er did not return, she got a total of five thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Suining was drinking tea with Chu Jingyue in Ningyue Pavilion when he learned that Zheng Yan'er was also going to open a restaurant and the chosen location was not far from Ningxiu Restaurant.

Chu Jingyue had often gone to Jiang Suining for tea and chat over the past year, so Biyun did not avoid her when reporting the news.

"Your cousin, has she given up her dignity?" Chu Jingyue shook her head. "She's stealing business from her family."
