The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

When Shopkeeper Wen heard the price of five hundred taels, his eyes widened in shock.

"Second Madam, five hundred taels is not a small sum. Even on ordinary days, the master has never taken so much."

Aunt Lin became unhappy and stood up suddenly.

"Manager Wen, did the owner of this shop tell you that it was for my wife?"

"Yes."

"If that's the case, then it's not too much for me to ask for five hundred taels, right?" Aunt Lin put her hands on her hips, "If you don't listen to the master, I will fire you."

"Second Madam, I am the shopkeeper hired by the second son of the general's mansion. How can you fire me just like that?"

Manager Wen was also angry. He had worked diligently in Taoyuanju for more than ten years and he could not be fired by a second wife like her.

The second wife also became angry when she saw his unruly look.

"Shopkeeper Wen, do you think your master is still from the General's Mansion? When the eldest lady gave the shop to the master, she said that the master would have full control over the shop. Now that the master has given it to me, it is natural that I will have full control over it."

"Do you want to disobey the master?"

Shopkeeper Wen looked at Aunt Lin's aggressive look and thought of what the eldest lady had said before.

He really couldn't understand why the eldest lady wanted to give the shop to the master even though the shop was doing well. The master came several times a month, took the silver every time, and then left without asking about the shop's performance.

Recently he was wondering why the master didn't come. It turned out that someone else came to ask for it, and this time he asked for so much.

It seems that he has to find a way to tell the doctor about this.

"Second Madam, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that although this shop is profitable now, it still has expenses. If you take all the money, how will this shop run its daily business?"

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Fang Zhirou pulled Aunt Lin aside.

"Mom, Shopkeeper Wen is right. If we take all of them, we won't be able to pay for the shop's daily expenses, and the waiter will run away. Then we won't gain anything and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"How about we just take half?"

Aunt Lin originally wanted to take more, as she had no clothes left, and there were also tables, chairs, rouge and other things, so she was afraid that this little silver would not be enough.

Seeing through Aunt Lin's thoughts, Fang Zhirou said:

"Mother, my daughter will marry the crown prince in the future. Are you still worried about not having money? By then, the entire East Palace will be managed by my daughter. I will buy you whatever you want."

After hearing this, Aunt Lin really laughed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you and take half."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards Shopkeeper Wen and said, "Shopkeeper Wen, I'll just take 250. I don't want anything more."

Although Shopkeeper Wen still felt that it was too much, it was already less than half of the five hundred taels, and it was better than the shop being unable to operate.

"Okay, Madam, wait a moment, I'll get it in a moment."

After fiddling around inside for a while, the shopkeeper came in with a thick stack of silver bills. Aunt Lin stared at the silver bills in Shopkeeper Wen's hand with her eyes wide open, without even blinking.

Looking at the Second Madam who was like a vicious wolf, Manager Wen was very reluctant to give it. It seemed that he had to inform the First Madam about this matter as soon as possible.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the banknote was taken away by Aunt Lin.

"Manager Wen, we will leave first."

"Second Madam, take care."

After seeing off Aunt Lin, Manager Wen paced back and forth at the door, not knowing how to pass the message to the first lady.

As he looked around, his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this Aunt Zhang? Why is she here?

He walked quickly down the steps and walked towards Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang was absorbed in her thoughts and was startled when she was suddenly stopped by someone.

"You are..."

"Madam Zhang, it's me. I'm Shopkeeper Wen. Do you remember me?"

"Manager Wen? I don't remember."

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Wen took off his hat and looked at Aunt Zhang nervously.

"Madam Zhang, I'm Shopkeeper Wen of Taoyuanju. You came to Taoyuanju with the eldest lady before. Don't you remember?"

After hearing what Shopkeeper Wen said, Aunt Zhang remembered that she and her wife had indeed been to Taoyuanju before, but they just told Shopkeeper Wen that the shop would be given to the master in the future.

"I remember now. What's the matter, Shopkeeper Wen? Is there something wrong with the shop?"

"No." Shopkeeper Wen was very happy to hear her say that she remembered him. "Madam Zhang, the Second Madam came to Taoyuanju just now and took away two hundred and fifty yuan. I think the Second Madam must have some use for taking so much money. I feel uneasy, so I want you to go back and tell the First Madam."

When Nanny Zhang heard that the Second Madam was here to ask for money, her face changed.

"Manager Wen, she asked you to give it, so you gave it?"

"Ah, Madam Zhang, I didn't want to either, but she asked for five hundred taels at first and I didn't give it to her, so later she asked for two hundred and fifty taels back."

Aunt Zhang looked at the easy-going Shopkeeper Wen and said helplessly, "Shopkeeper Wen, do you know that two hundred and fifty silver coins can buy a villa? If you give this silver coin, aren't you afraid of the master's punishment?"

"Well, to be honest, after the first lady gave the shop to the master, the master gave it to the second lady not long after. The second lady is now the owner of the shop. If I don't give it to her, she will fire me. I have no choice."

Looking at Shopkeeper Wen, who was in the same difficult situation, Nanny Zhang felt a little sympathy.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Wen, I understand. I'll tell my wife when I get back."

After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, Shopkeeper Wen felt relieved. Before leaving, he reminded her not to forget it.

After Aunt Lin and Fang Zhirou got the silver, they went to the shop to make a few sets of clothes, bought several pairs of shoes, as well as rouge and powder. When they had bought almost everything, they returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

"Mom, we can't let them see this."

"Yes." Aunt Lin said to the maid Hongxiu behind her: "Hongxiu, Xing'er, you must take these things carefully. If you lose them, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes, ma'am."

Several people got on the carriage and headed towards the Shangshu Mansion.

At this time in the Shangshu Mansion, Fang Shiwan was listening to Meng Weilan's teaching, while Zhou was eating the snacks given to her by her daughter in the yard.

"Ma'am, is it delicious?"

"Mm, it's delicious. The water tastes good too."

"Ma'am, the lady said these are called potato chips."

"potato chips?"

"Well, because miss is made of potatoes."

Ziyun was very happy when he saw his wife eating delicious food. He thought that the lady was really amazing and could even cook these things.

"So that's how it is. In the future, don't let the young lady do these hard jobs anymore. If she wants to eat something, tell her to go to a restaurant outside."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ziyun was deeply touched by the lady's feelings for the young lady. He had thought that after so many years of not seeing each other, the lady would not be very affectionate towards the young lady, but he did not expect that blood could really break through everything.

"Ma'am, ma'am."

As he was speaking, Aunt Zhang walked in from the courtyard gate, holding some snacks in her hands.

"Madam Zhang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Madam, on my way back just now, I met Shopkeeper Wen from Taoyuanju."

When Zhou heard this, she sat up straight, "Manager Wen? What's wrong with Manager Wen?"

Nanny Zhang looked around at the door, then closed the door to the courtyard and walked to Zhou's side, "Madam, I have something to say."

"Come on, go inside."

"Yes."

Nanny Zhang and Ziyun followed Zhou's steps.
