The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Shen Qinglan had almost finished inspecting the shops in Prince Zhan's mansion.

She already had a rough idea of ​​the situation in each family.

As for the shops whose managers were replaced, Shen Qinglan had already transferred some suitable managers from her dowry shops overnight.

These managers were brought here as dowry from Qinghe Cui family along with her mother. Over the years, they have been managing the shop very well, so Shen Qinglan naturally trusts them.

Moreover, these transferred managers had worked in the original shops for a long time, but due to limited positions and the original shopkeepers not resigning, they were unable to be promoted.

In this way, the vacancies in the shops in Prince Zhan's Mansion can be perfectly filled.

of course……

Shen Qinglan would not say it out loud, of course she had selfish motives in doing so.

How could she give away her dowry for nothing?

Doing so is undoubtedly an important step for her to consolidate the power of the Zhan Palace.

Now in Prince Zhan's mansion, Steward Wang has gone, and almost all the servants have been replaced, and she has almost the only one who has the final say.

Now, it is time to replace the assets of Prince Zhan's Palace.

Of course, this was also because Prince Zhan’s Mansion was really lax in the management of these shops, which allowed her to get a bargain.

Otherwise, any family that knows a little about business would not allow themselves to be cheated to this extent by the owners of these shops.

However, it is no wonder. The old War King was born in a humble family, and the old princess was also the old War King's first wife. She was not born into a noble family, so it is understandable that she does not know how to manage business.

But, no matter what the reason is, these shops are now being taken control of by her step by step, so she naturally would not be stupid enough to return them.

When going out today, Huo Jingyi was already waiting in her carriage, familiar with the route.

When Shen Qinglan got on the carriage, he was frightened by this little girl.

"Mother, it's hard for you to patrol the shops alone, and it's even more lonely without anyone to accompany you on the road, so Yi'er will accompany you from now on."

Huo Jingyi sat upright in the carriage and spoke to Shen Qinglan in a serious and heroic tone.

Shen Qinglan was helpless, rubbed the little guy's head and teased:

"How can you want to accompany me? You just want to go out and play."

Huo Jingyi stuck out her tongue, and simply crawled into Shen Qinglan's arms, snuggling and saying with a smile:

"Yier wants to play, but she really wants to accompany her mother."

Shen Qinglan really couldn't resist Huo Jingyi's coquetry.

She didn’t have children in her previous life, but it wasn’t because she didn’t like children. On the contrary, she really liked children.

Now, she has such a cute and adorable daughter, how could she not like her?

At that moment, Shen Qinglan did not reject the little girl.

When Huo Jingyi grows up, she will have to take care of her own dowry, so it is good to learn it in advance.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a "Linglongfang".

This is a jewelry shop. It is the only profitable shop in Prince Zhan’s mansion and also the last shop to be inspected.

However, although Linglongfang is profitable, it is just the tallest among the short ones.

After Shen Qinglan led Huo Jingyi out of the carriage, Ren Donglai started to introduce them:

"The owner of Linglongfang is Pei Xiaomu, the distant nephew of the old Princess Zhan's mother's family. Although I call him a distant nephew, in fact, he is a very distant relative."

"Back then, Pei Xiaomu came to the capital to recognize his relatives after hearing that there was a severe drought in his hometown. Princess Zhan took pity on him and let him come to Linglongfang to be the shopkeeper. He has been doing this for more than ten years."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but look at Ren Donglai again.

Ren Donglai is indeed a talented person who is meticulous and serious in his work, but he was previously buried because of the oppression of Butler Wang.

The reason why Ren Donglai could describe the conditions of these shops so accurately was only because she had to inspect the shops, so to make it convenient for her, she investigated the conditions of all the shops in advance.

Because of Ren Donglai, she was able to easily identify the problems with those shops.

But today, Ren Donglai specifically mentioned Pei Xiaomu's background, probably to remind her that Pei Xiaomu was able to work here because of the relationship with Princess Zhan.

Even if they are distant relatives, they are still relatives, and they represent the old princess's reputation.

If there is no way to handle it properly, it would be embarrassing for Princess Zhan and would only make her unhappy.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

Since we can't use force, then be gentle!

Moreover, if Pei Xiaomu didn't do anything too extreme, she could just leave him alone.

Ren Donglai was relieved to see that Shen Qinglan understood what he meant. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that Shen Qinglan's intelligence was really different from others.

Shen Qinglan didn't say much and strode into Linglongfang holding Huo Jingyi's hand.

As soon as Shen Qinglan entered Linglongfang, a young man in his forties saw Shen Qinglan immediately. His eyes lit up and he immediately guessed Shen Qinglan's identity.

He immediately called the waiters to gather around and shouted to Shen Qinglan in unison:

"Greetings to Princess Zhan, may Princess Zhan be blessed."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the young man in his forties and asked:

"Are you Shopkeeper Pei?"

"Yes, yes, this subordinate is Pei Xiaomu..."

Pei Xiaomu had already known two days ago that this new Princess of War was very powerful, so he immediately sent that shopkeeper Liang to Jingzhao Yin!

This is not only bullying the master, but also usurping his master's money and property, which is a serious crime!

Not only was all of Manager Liang's assets confiscated, he was also exiled to the frontier, never to return!

And yesterday, I heard that half of the shop owners in other shops were also investigated, beaten and driven out of the shops.

Especially the grain store owner Liang. I heard that it was his nephew who was bullied by him on a daily basis who beat him to death...

And because of this, Pei Xiaomu has not slept well in the past two days. He always feels like there is a sword hanging over his head, ready to chop him down at any time!

Seeing Shen Qinglan coming, he was afraid of bringing bad luck, so he just wanted to worship Shen Qinglan like an ancestor, and immediately said flatteringly:

"Princess, please sit here. I will bring the account book to you for your review."

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, raised her hand to stop Shopkeeper Pei, and said gently and kindly:

"There's no rush for the account book. I heard that you and my mother are relatives. Should I call you Uncle Pei?"

When Shopkeeper Pei heard the word "uncle", he shuddered with fear, looked at Shen Qinglan in horror, and said in a panic:

"I don't dare to take the responsibility! It was the kindness of the old princess that gave me the opportunity to make a living. How can I be worthy of being called my uncle?"

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Pei's heart was already in his throat.

This princess suddenly wanted to establish a relationship with him, and I don’t know what her intention was... It’s really scary.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Pei looked anxious at the moment, Shen Qinglan curled the corners of her mouth and did not continue.

Shopkeeper Pei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran to get out all the account books and handed them respectfully to Shen Qinglan.

After Shen Qinglan took it, he didn't look at it carefully, but just flipped through two pages casually.

Shopkeeper Pei had been observing Shen Qinglan, so he breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Qinglan looked through the account book.

Not to mention that there is no problem with this account book. Even if there is a problem, looking at the way the princess looks at the account book, it doesn't seem like she would be able to read it.

Shopkeeper Pei couldn't help but relax a little at that moment.

Shen Qinglan casually threw the account book to Huo Jingyi who was sitting beside him, and asked with a smile:

"Does Yi'er know how to read?"
